The Lion and The Lamb
I knew that Henry wasn't going to be back until sunset and that was still hours away so I decided to clean out out my drawers. There were millions of pieces of paper from English assignments to various school work I had collected over the years. I went through and read over each piece of paper quickly deciding if I really wanted to keep it. At the bottom of the stack was a song from my own depression period. I smiled and tried to remember how the tune went. I cleared my voice and began to sing the words on the paper.
It's all because of you,
I'm feeling sad and blue.
You went away,
Now my life is just a rainy day.
And I love you so,
How much you'll never know.
You've gone away and left me lonely.
Untouchable memories,
Seem to keep haunting me.
Oh a love so true,
That once turned all my gray skies blue.
But you disappeared,
Now my eyes are filled with tears.
And I'm wishing you were here with me.
So in love are my thoughts are my thoughts of you,
Now that you're gone I just don't know what to do.
If only you were here,
You'd wash away my tears.
The sun would shine,
Once again you'll me mine oh mine.
In reality,
You and I will never be.
Cause you took your love a away from me.
You took your love away from me.
I heard my window click and flicked my head in its direction. Not again. Did he really think that I didn't hear that? "Do I have to throw myself in a lake again for you to come out?" I asked casually looking away from the window to put the stuff back into the drawer. A small breeze disturbed my hair and I heard him climb into the room and settled on my bed.
"That was beautiful," he commented. I glanced at him, he was sitting on my bed his eyes solely focused on me. "Did you write it?" I nodded gently. "I didn't know you sang."
"You didn't stay long enough to find out," I stated. I saw him wince and a satisfied smile spread itself across my face. I love him, it was no denying that, but I also love to see him suffer.
"Bella, I'm sorry," he mumbled.
"I know you are. How long have you been out there?"
"Long enough to hear you sing." I went to sit by him on the bed but still kept a distance between us. We sat there in silence for a long moment.
"What is it that you wanted?" I asked finally breaking the quiet. That seemed to remind him of something and he reached into his pocket and pulled out a red velvet box.
"This is for you," he said handing it over to me. I raised an eyebrow at him causing him to chuckle quietly. "Go on, open it." I was a bit hestitant, I opened the box cautiously and gasped at what I saw. Inside was a flawless silver charm bracelet. The first charm was a black lion with eyes made of a two gold gems, the second charm was heart shaped blood red gem, the third was a white lamb with chocolate brown stones as its eyes, the next was a red rose made of ruby, the last one was the words I love you made of carved in the middle of a clock. They were tiny, delicate, and beautiful. I smiled knowing their meaning.
"The Lion and The Lamb," I whispered. I looked up and saw Edward gazing at me intently seeming to expect something. "What?"
"Do you like it?" he asked. I nodded.
"Help me put it on?" He took the bracelet from me and I held out my wrist, he clicked it in place quickly. "Where did you get it?" I couldn't imagine this coming from a normal jewelry store, it isn't exactly a typical piece of jewelry.
"I had it custom made from Italy. It was supposed to be for your birthday 10 years ago but I never had a chance to give it to you," he said sadly. I leaned over and kissed his cheek lightly pulling away as quickly as I'd leaned in.
"Thank you." I noticed that the sun was sinking slowly under the trees and knew that Henry was going to be home at any minute. "Time for you to leave," I said. He looked at me curiously trying to decipher why he had to go. "Henry will be here any moment and I want to talk to him alone." He nodded understandingly and jumped out the window disappearing into the trees.
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...," he murmured. I smiled at the memory, we've rounded a complete circle and ended up exactly where we started. I went downstairs to wait for Henry to get home going through what I will say to him over and over again. I really didn't want to hurt him, but he will only hurt more the longer I waited.
Author's Note: If you want to hear Bella's song go to trisht trang. com and click on Music & Videos on the menu to the right. The song is called Sukiyaki. (It's part Japanese) Put the pieces together, I have to do that so they don't block it. Next up, Henry's heart break.
