Hey guys… I know it's been a few years, but I've been having a lot of inspiration for stories I want to work on writing. I figured I'd have to at least do a few more chapters of my really basic unfinished story if I wanted to try writing a major story.
I don't own Twilight or the songs I use.
Bella POV
"Ooooh, Love Triangle" Emmett says wiggling his eyebrows while Edward gives me a worried look.
I bite my cheek, and emotions I've gotten good at suppressing start to surface. Jasper gives me a worried and confused look feeling my sadness. "Okay" I sigh.
Sitting on the front step, little white suitcase
Hearing that diesel, 'fore it hit the front gate
His headlights burning down a Friday night
Southern bell statue standing in the screen door
Watching her whole world head for an old Ford
With a man that can't look her in the eye
Then I'll run to him, big hug, jump in
And I cry for her out the window
Esme gasps realizing this song is about Charlie and Renee.
Some mamas and daddies are loving in a straight line
Take forever to hearten and take a long sweet ride
But some mamas and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some of us get stuck in a love triangle
"Oh Bella" If Esme could cry, she looks like she would be at this point. The rest of them just look at me with mixtures of shock and pity. They never realized how much Charlie and Renee being split affected me.
Bowling alley burger, fries and a milkshake
Headed to the same old two dollar matinee
Baby, how's your school been and how's your mom?
Patsy Cline echoes back off the dashboard
Staring at my boots and the dusty old floorboard
Baby two weeks ain't really all that long
Then I'll run to her
Wrap my arms around her skirt
And I cry for him out the window
A tear slips down my cheek as I sing. Emmett, normally goofy, childish Emmett looks upset that he picked the song that is making me cry.
Some mamas and daddies are lovin' in a straight line
Take forever to hearten and take a long sweet ride
But some mamas and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some of us get stuck in a love triangle
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
In a love triangle, yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
As I sing more tears slide down my cheeks.
Some mamas and daddies are loving in a straight line
Take forever to hearten and take a long sweet ride
But some mamas and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some mamas and daddies ran out of love in '94
And some mamas and daddies don't even talk no more
And some mamas and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some of us get stuck and some of us grow up
In a love triangle
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Everyone just stays silent unsure what to say until Emmett breaks the silence.
"Bella I'm really sorry that I chose that song"
"No, I have been holding all of this in for a long long time. It was probably good for me to get it all out." I give Jasper a grateful smile when I feel a wave of calm rush over me. Edward, who still hasn't said anything rushes over to me and wraps me up in his arms. He starts peppering kisses all over my face.
"I'm so sorry. You always act so independent. I never thought that you would have felt like that. You've never talked about the divorce." He keeps on rambling, and I give him a kiss to stop him.
"Edward, this is something I've never talked about to anyone before. Heck, I've kept these emotions suppressed for years. But… this is a big reason why I've been hesitant about accepting your proposal. Obviously our circumstances are different, but how could I not be hesitant? My parents got married right out of high school, got married, had me, and then split. I've spent my whole life going back and forth between Charlie and Renee. Renee even always talked about how it was the biggest mistake of her life… I was always just this major mistake to her. Although, I'm something she can't just get rid of like her marriage."
Everyone stays silent while absorbing what I had just said. "Okay" I sigh. "Who wants to pick next? We can finish talking about this later" I really hope they will just drop it.
"I'll pick next" Jasper says as he starts flipping through pages.
