Here it is! My favorite songfic of the ones I've written yet. Plus, it has Forgiven in it. I love that song to death. Anywho, Emmett got the most love in reviews as far as suggestions. I seriously thought about them, but liked this song a lot better. I might still use your ideas, though, so go ahead and give me them!
Disclaimer: My name is Stephenie Meyer and I'm in the band Relient K. Just kidding. I do not own Twilight, nor do I own Forgiven (much as I love it).
I knew it was coming.
I mean, she bought Jasper a CD. Jasper. He doesn't even like music! I, on the other hand, do. Plus, I'm her husband. Like she'd buy everyone else CDs and not me.
Anyway, the CD sitting by the CD player made me so happy and I just had to play it right away. My Rosalie picked it out, and it was music, so of course I dropped everything to listen to it (which, in retrospect, might have been a bad idea. I was carrying some of Rosalie's new clothes. Oops).
I winced and hurried to pick those up while the CD started playing. Nice rock-ish type band, my favorite. I think that it was actually a religious group, not that that mattered. It was just an interesting thing to think of.
By the time the fifth song started, I had put all of Rosalie's clothes away and silently begged (in hopes that Edward might hear me) for Alice not to say anything. I'm sure she saw me doing that, so please please PLEASE Alice, say nothing. Or I'm a dead man…vampire.
Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
We're in the palm of a hand making a fist
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist
This song sounded promising. I sat on the chair nearest the stereo and listened.
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
(Please tell me that's figurative blood)
To see that you've been aptly damned
To fail and fail again
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too
The first thing I thought of was that I needed to save this to use next time I screwed up (which hopefully wasn't today) to apologize to Rose. Then I remembered that she had bought the CD. And judging by everyone else's reactions to their gifts, she had listened to it and picked it specifically for me. Oh. There goes that brilliant plan.
So don't you dare blame me for
Prying open the door
That's unleashed the bitterness
That's here in the midst of this
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves
And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
Than bodies limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love
All the things Rosalie had ever blamed me for (that were mostly, but not entirely, my fault) and I had protested….where has this song been all my life? Whenever Rose was that mad at me, we would be in our own little world, with nothing but her anger and my continual apologies. And when my apologies weren't enough…it was like we split up while she cooled down. I knew the torture would end eventually, but still, it was torture.
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
To see that you've been aptly damned
To fail and fail again
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too
You can forgive me too
I've done a lot of stupid things in my…existence. Yeah, that. Everyone else always forgives me pretty fast; I just do stupid things. It always boils down to me begging for Rose's forgiveness and hoping she will forgive me.
But you know, I bet Rose does things that are 'stupid,' or that I should consider as such. I just don't care since I do that kind of stuff too. Maybe…maybe she should lighten up a bit. Maybe I should stop begging. If we all think the same thoughts, we must do the same things (or at least things with the same consequences), and therefore, I shouldn't get yelled at as often as I do.
I bet Rosalie doesn't buy it.

You can forgive me too
Uh oh. Rosalie's home. Please Alice, don't tell her…Crap. She told her. And she probably knows this song, so I can't even use that…I'm going to try. I can't stand it when she's mad at me.
You can forgive me too
Here she comes. Please, please, Rose, let me explain, I didn't mean to do it, you're the one who left the CD there for me –
I can't say that. She'll kill me.
You can forgive me
You can forgive me
So here I go, off to beg for forgiveness. But this time, I'm just going to state what happened and ask for forgiveness. Who knows, maybe it'll work?
You can forgive me too
So, what do you think? Kiowa loves to get reviews!
