A/N: This story was thought up after a music video I watched by the same title. I don't remember the artist, and neither do I know how it inspired me to this, but it did. This story was set before Eclipse and showed a new twist on a similar plot to that of New Moon. Though in this story that book did happen, it was like my characters reversed roles. I hope you enjoy this quick peak into the deceased tale of Even Heaven Cries.

Disclaimer: I do not own the song nor the original characters, however all the construction workers are mine, but you can have them, not many would want them anyways.

Summary: I felt my body tremble as I kissed him for the last time. I had to let go, even when my heart tore in two.

Even Heaven Cries
by: Dark Huntress
Prologue

"Bella, know that I will always love you," Edward whispered, kissing my brow, the cool breath sending shivers up and down my spine.

"I know that, Edward," I replied, holding him close, as close as I possibly could, knowing that this would be the last time I would.

I refused to cry, I would not let him see the hurt that he was causing me. I would be strong, I had to be, Charlie and Renee depended on me. I was their anchor in their chaotic worlds, both so confused with their own lives that they found it necessary to lean upon their nineteen year old daughter. I never really minded, not til this point, when I realized that Edward and I could never be together. My responsibilities held me back, I couldn't abandon them, I just couldn't.

"I'll always love you, too," I mumbled, breathing in his intoxicating scent for the final time, enjoying the feeling of his steel arms locked around my waist.

"Please, try to move on," he said, his eyes closing as he tugged me close briefly, careful always of my fragile body.

"You know I won't," I answered, pulling back to stare deeply into his eyes, how could I live without him? I had experienced it once before, I didn't want to again. But I would, I would for my family.

I would be starting college soon, still staying in Forks, Washington where the sun hardly ever shone, and the rain was in common abundance. I had switched for sunny L.A. to the dark and damp world of Washington relatively easy, but I supposed, Edward had had a lot to do with that.

"Tell Alice, I'll miss her," I said, wishing that I could see her once again, I would miss her dearly. "And Emmett."

"I will."

"And Esme, and Carlisle, and Jasper, and...and, oh what the hell, tell Rosalie too," I hiccupped, still holding back the tears, but not very well.

"I promise," he replied, his grip tightening once more, before we parted, our eyes pained as we looked upon one another.

Edward leaned forward, brushing his lips to mine, and for one of the few times, we weren't careful. He didn't try to stop me as I leaned heavily into the kiss, melding our mouths together intimately. Hands flew, my own clasping at the back of his strong neck, playing with the ends of his bronze hair. How could I go on without this in my life?

Breaking apart, we leaned our foreheads against one another, breathing deeply. It was our last moment together, and for all the things I needed to say, there wasn't anything I could possibly speak of that could make the pain less. I hoped, that someday, he would move on, and find a woman or vampiress that could be with him for the rest of eternity. It hurt, to think of him with another, but it was less painful than thinking of the possibility that I was condemning him to life of solitude.

"Goodbye, Bella," Edward called, his form perched on the outside tree branch, his pale face glowing under the rays of the moon.

"Bye, Edward," I returned, and with a gust of air, he was gone, gone from my life forever. And for the first time in a good year, I sat down, and let myself have a good cry.
