In the end, they're just the leftovers; the ones left behind in dust after a love that's supposed to have changed the world. Except, it only changed their worlds, and not for the better. For them, it just destroyed them.
Tanya had pinned all of her hopes on Edward. He had been everything she could ever want in a man; he was considerate, kind, compassionate, musical. Edward was every girl's dream – at least, she thought so, he was hers – and the fact that she couldn't have that, made her wonder what hope there was out there for the rest of the female gender.
And then there's Jacob.
He's everything that she never thought she'd want; he's open, blunt, and doesn't hide behind being a gentleman. Jacob doesn't like illusions, he's straight-forward and sweet at times, the type of guy that girls like for a best friend; he's not exactly the man of her dreams. Or, at least, he's not what she pictured whenever she thought of that.
It feels a little like settling for second-best – for the both of them – but their broken hearts and stolen dreams brought them together, and that's enough to tie them together in their heartbreak.
FIN.
Feedback is love.
