You should probably know that in my version of events, Edward doesn;t ever tell his family that he left Bella to protect. He knew that if he did, they'd convince him how stupid that was. He told them, instead, that he didn't love her any more, just like he told her. Huh. Maybe I should have mentioned that before...

Probably my favourite Evanescence song. I don't know. It just seems to ring so true...

Date: 22nd January

Character:

Stimulus: Everybody's fool.

You haven't told them. They deserve to know, but you've kept it from them, all the same. It's too hard to tell them, anyway; you're strong, but there's no way you're that strong.

Somehow, you've got everybody fooled.

But the joke is on you. There's no-one to share your pain; no-one to ease the burden, though you can't deny that it's your burden, anyway. Not theirs. You've got to bear it alone.

They think you're a selfish bastard. They'll never say it aloud, but it's not like they have to. Not when you're around. You know what they think of you, don't you? You know exactly what they're saying. You know that they hate you.

And somehow, now, you're everybody's fool.
