Eh, kinda depressing. Chapter title and all lyrics are from Losing Sleep by Charlotte Sometimes.
Characters/Pairings: Edward/Bella

La La Goodnight
I've
been fighting all my demons
I've been getting weak 'cause I've
been
Trying, trying, trying to be
Anything other than me.
He lies next to her, head propped on his elbow, watching her sleeping figure. She is truly an angel, eyes closed, hair fanning out around her, splayed across her pillow.
She murmurs his name in her sleep, as she often does. "Edward..." He closes his eyes. Her voice makes him feel human, like he has a heart.
He hasn't hunted in awhile, too long, he thinks. But he can't leave this girl alone, can't possibly let any harm come to her.
She rolls over, her face now inches to his. "Mmm." She exhales, and her cool, deliciously sweet breath overtakes him. He is so thirsty, and she is so utterly delectable...
He plunges his teeth into her flesh.
Her eyes fly open and she gasps in surprise. Blood pours from her neck, staining the sheets ruby red.
Just a taste, just a taste...
He leans forward, eagerly lapping up the blood that has spilled down her neck.
"Edward?" she asks, voice shaking as he drinks, surprised and scared.
He is a monster.
He jumps up from the bed, backs away from her toward the window.
She is confused, but he can't quite read the expression on her face.
"I'm sorry," he whispers, before disappearing from the room.
What a silly dream
Silly, silly me
To think I had a handle on this.

Some of it doesn't really make sense, like why would Edward just leave when Charlie's in the next room and Bella's going to start screaming and stuff, but I didn't want to clutter this up with details. So let's just say Alice is going to come to her rescue, and I'll let you work out how that happens. Haha.
So, review! I'll probably update again Sunday. :)
