...
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is, you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out, laid down there
With the shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in,
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away,I bleed it out!
Go, stop this show
Choppy words in that sloppy flow
Shotgun opera, Lock and Load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama help me, I've been cursed.
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him, he knows he works
Fuck, this hurts. I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So why, try ignoring him?
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When I bring that chorus in.
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out!
I've opened up these scars!
I'll make you face this!
I've pulled myself so far!
I'll make you face this, now!
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

APOV
Bella was asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow. I felt sorry for her; she had a horrible day, and on top of it had learned that both Vampires and Werewolves existed. I couldn't believe how well she was handling this, it was amazing how readily she accepted everything…and she wasn't even afraid.
As the minutes and hours ticked by, Bella tossed and turned. I had never watched a human sleep before and it was fascinating! Earlier, I was startled when Bella suddenly called out Edward's name. I thought she had woke, and was asking for him so I rushed to her bedside. I almost spoke to her but realized her eyes were still closed and her breathing was still deep and even. I had to stifle a laugh when she moaned lightly and said Edward's name again. Bella must talk in her sleep I had thought to myself. I went and sat back in the chair I had placed by the window. She called for Edward periodically throughout the rest of the night, telling him not to leave her, and that she loved him.
I was ecstatic! I knew he loved her and obviously she felt the same.
It was four in the morning now, and neither Charlie nor Edward was back. I was getting very nervous. I had tried focusing on the future several times earlier but things kept changing and I had gotten frustrated. There was nothing I could do, I couldn't go and help. I had to stay with Bella, so I had shut myself off somewhere around two, to keep myself from going insane. There was no point in worrying…
The sound of a car pulling in startled me and I jumped up. Edward! I thought happily and quietly slipped out of the room. I made my way downstairs, and the front door opened as soon as I reached the last step. Charlie raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw me.
I felt a rush of disappointment, but I kept my face neutral.
"Oh, hi Chief!" I said trying to sound as if my being here was the most normal thing in the world.
"Alice…what are you doing here?" he questioned sounding exhausted. I could see the deep purple bags under his eyes, and he looked extremely pale.
"Oh…uh…Bella called me earlier, she was kind of nervous being here by herself, and Esme said it was okay for me to come keep her company…I hope that's not a problem!"
Charlie visibly relaxed, and shook his head. "No, that's fine. Matter of fact, I suggested she have someone stay here with her but she just brushed me off. Guess this old lonely house must have gotten to her." He said as he laid his gun beside the door and took off his police jacket, hanging it on the coat rack.
"What are you doing up so early?"
I smiled "Oh, I was just having a hard time sleeping…thought I'd come down and get a glass of water" I said quickly
"Okay, then…I have to go get some sleep. I have to be back at the station at six…guess that really doesn't give me much time huh" he said and smiled lazily
"No sir" I said and shook my head
He sighed tiredly "Goodnight Alice…you better try and get some rest too"
"I will! Goodnight Chief!"
He turned and trudged up the stairs nosily. I heard him open up Bella's door. After a few seconds it shut quietly and I heard him go into his own room and shut the door. Awww, I thought, how sweet! He was checking on her.
I could get so sentimental sometimes…
I walked back up the stairs noiselessly unlike Charlie, and slipped back into Bella's room and shut the door. I sighed and took my seat back by the window. I was disappointed it hadn't been Edward. Where was he? Was he okay?
EPOV
No, No, No I thought wildly. Oh please…It can't possibly be…Not Emmett…Not because of me…
We reached the fire quickly and I could smell nothing but the putrid smell of the burning vampire. I had smelled the awful smell enough tonight to last me a lifetime…and for me that could mean forever.
The flames had already consumed whoever it had been, but the smell was still horridly strong, and the flames were still high, meaning it couldn't have happened too long ago.
Rosalie was on her knees off to the side of me rocking back and forth, sobbing tearlessly.
My eyes scanned the area…there was no sign of anyone. I felt panic rising in me, and I knew if I didn't do something I might possibly lose it like Rosalie had already done. I had to be strong for her…I had to think rationally.
I caught a faint scent that caused me to growl involuntarily. I whipped my head towards the smell…a vampire. I ran to where the smell had been coming from, but it was hard to track any kind of scent positively, with that fire burning.
I could faintly pick up Emmett's scent, Victoria's, as well as this scent, that was definitely another vampire. It was somewhat familiar but I couldn't place it.
A few moments passed with me standing when it hit me…Wait! I did know who it was…Laurent…the other that was with James and Victoria…
A new burst of hope revived me! Maybe…
"Rosalie!" I shouted and turned to where she should have still been sitting; only she wasn't there.
My eyes caught her movement; she was running straight towards the fire. My feet were propelling me forward towards her, before I was even conscious that I was moving
"Rosalie!" I tried to shout again to snap her out of it, but the words were choked up in my throat, it came out barley audible
I sprung forward, and tackled her right as she went to leap into the flames. I had caught her in mid air sending us both crashing to the ground!
"Damn it!" I shouted "What where you thinking!"
She didn't move or even acknowledge me, she curled into a ball, her eyes were glazed over.
"Rosalie!" I said and shook her "It might not be…Emmett! I think we jumped to conclusions. I smelled Laurent…he was here…it could be him!"
Rosalie's eyes focused on my face but seemed far off "Edward…" she whispered weakly
She didn't look like the Rosalie I had always known…full of fire. She looked broken, her eyes were almost lifeless and I could feel her trembling in my arms. It was as if the very essence of life had been drained from her.
"You have to get up…he's alive I know it. It wasn't him Rosalie…it can't be!"
Rosalie closed her eyes and I could feel her go limp in my hands. I shook her violently
"Did you hear me?" I yelled "Don't give up on him yet…we will find him!"
A gut wrenching sob escaped her lips and she shook her head.
"We are too late" she wailed
I grabbed her and picked her up, carrying her in my arms, and began to run.
I ran the same direction we had come from. Rosalie never moved in my arms, she just lay there limply and a sob would escape her lips every so often.
I noticed I wasn't running as fast as usual…and then I noticed just how hard I was pushing myself to keep going. The combination of all the events today had taken its toll, and I was beginning to weaken. I knew that if I didn't feed sometime soon, I wouldn't be able to keep my strength up.
Finally I broke through to the clearing where the other two fires that Rosalie and I had set still burned dully. I was closer to the one which had held what remained of James. It was only small flames now and I knew it would be burning itself out shortly.
I scanned the area wildly for any sign of Emmett, but there was none.
Out of nowhere someone spoke loudly Where the hell is he...
I turned thinking that it was spoken out loud but when I still didn't see anyone I realized that I had heard someone's thoughts.
"Emmett?" I cried out
Rosalie shifted for the first time and opened her eyes "Emmett…" she whispered "he's gone…"
"Edward! Oh man I was so worried about you!" he called back, and I caught sight of him barreling out of the woods somewhere close by the other fire a little less than half a mile away.
Relief and exhaustion overcame me, and I sunk to my knees. I was still holding Rosalie tightly in my arms, and her eyes were opened but she looked confused and dazed.
Emmett was in front of us in no time, he had a big goofy grin on his face until he saw me on my knees holding Rosalie who was just staring straight up.
His face then became distorted with confusion, and then worry, as he rushed over to us. He dropped to his knees in front of me
"What happened?" He said his voice filled with panic "What is she doing here? Did something happen to her?"
I shook my head slowly, relief still washing over me in waves
"She came because she felt bad about the way she had acted…she killed Victoria, if it hadn't been for her help…well, I probably wouldn't be here. We went looking for you, and well…we came upon a fire and thought…thought…"
Emmett looked confused again for a moment and then his face dawned with realization "y..you thought…me?" he stuttered
I nodded and his eyes went directly to Rosalie "Oh shit…" he mumbled, and grabbed her from my arms, and cradled her in his own
"Babe! Babe! It's me, I'm fine!"
Rosalie groaned "why am I dreaming this? Why can't I just die?"
Emmett laughed and sat Rosalie up facing him holding her by her arms "Rosalie…your not imaging this babe, I set that fire…Laurent attacked me! That son of a b…he tricked us all into thinking that he didn't want to be apart of James and Victoria anymore…if Edward had of been there he would have seen through his thoughts and caught it…oh well…I got him" Emmett laughed "I got him REAL good!"
Rosalie finally snapped back to reality, her eyes widened "Emmett!" she squealed, and threw her arms around him
He laughed "Yeah"
"I am soooooo sorry about the way I acted, and treated you. I love you so much! Please don't ever leave me" she sobbed
Emmett raised his eyebrows at me "You guys really thought I was a goner huh" he said quietly
I nodded "Yeah…I had to stop her…she was uh…running straight towards the fire, because she thought…well, she thought…"
Emmett growled and ripped Rosalie away from him cutting me off "What!? Are you nuts!?" he bellowed
She shook her head "I can't live without you Em…"
He pulled her back against him quickly and held her tightly. The three of us sat there in silence for a long time...
I finally pulled myself up, I needed to see Bella, but the burning in the back of my throat was becoming unbearable. There was no way I could go to her in this state of mind. I had to hunt.
"I need to hunt…" I said simply to the others
Emmett nodded and stood bringing Rosalie up with him.
"We might as well hunt too" he said and she nodded
"Yeah, I'm drained" she whispered
All's it took was one look at her and I couldn't agree more "I can see…you look awful" I joked
Her hands automatically flew up to her hair causing both Emmett and I to laugh.
"Ugh! You think you are sooo funny!" she grumbled
Emmett kissed the top of her head and offered to carry her. She rolled her eyes and gave him a playful shove.
"Let's just go" she said
The three of us took off. We ran until we reached a close by area we knew was overpopulated, and then I broke off from them, telling them I would meet them back at the house later.
I hunted for awhile. I wanted to make sure that I over fed myself so that I wouldn't be taking any chance being around Bella. After I had my overfill of blood I took off towards Bella's.
The blood had replenished me, and I was able to make it to her house in half the time it took me to get all the way out there. As I broke through the trees into her back yard I looked at how bright the sky already was, and could see that it was going to be a very sunny day. I sighed…no school for us today.
I went around the side of the house heading towards the front yard to check and see if Charlie's cruiser was here, and Alice's waving arms from Bella's window caught my attention. I looked up to see her nearly pressed up against the window, a look of pure joy on her face. I realized how hard it must have been for her to sit back and wait to see what happened.
Good morning I thought silently
Oh don't you Good Morning me, you had better get in here and tell me EVERYTHING! She replied mentally
Is Charlie already gone?
She nodded yeah, he left about awhile ago, probably five forty ish…he didn't even come home until around four. I think the nomads were causing a lot of trouble around this area.
Alright, meet me downstairs, don't wake Bella yet…please… I said and she gave a quick nod, and disappeared from the window
I walked to the front door and Alice was already there holding it open for me. I laughed
"Wow! You must be really anxious to hear all the details huh?" I questioned playfully
