How to Save a Life

by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

381. Chapter 379

Things are heating up.

Edward Masen starts shouting out of nowhere, and I can see that he's just spewing bullshit to get a rise out of my Edward, my Hoody.

It doesn't work.

Edward speaks in a low, calm voice; granting Mr Masen one last choice. "Keep going this way and lose everything. Or, you can stop now and turn yourself in whilst you've got nothing to really lose. If you don't, you'll lose everything." His eyes flash to his mother's face. "And I'm not just talking about your fucking 'foundation'."

Edward Masen is nervous; he's looking for a way out here. But he can't do both… he can only do one of the options. He'll admit defeat and admit to all the wrongs he's done… or he'll deny that it was him.

And just like that, I'm beginning to wonder why we're doing this.

Lyrics:

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came

NOTE: Because the chorus has already been done, I'm not writing chapters on it again.

In this chapter, "drive until you lose the road, or break with the ones you follow" has been incorporated to mean "you can continue this way, or break free now while you're still ahead and you've got nothing to lose."

NOTE 2: For a while, that will be the end of the verse chapters because there's two more choruses to the end of the song… except, well there's something very important at the end of the story – which will be at around 400 chapters – that will use the two repeated lines "how to save a life".

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:

Ok, I'm sorry... some of you think that I meant that I only had one more chapter to go until the end of the story... which is the epilogue.. truth is, I'm fucking tired and I meant to type that I only had to WRITE one more chapter and that was the epilogue. That's wrong. There's about 10-12 chapters more then, after pmming it over with kitkat I worked out that there will be 2 epilogues of about 1000+ words.

Sorry for all the confusion! MY BAD!
