Only Happy When It RainsA Story by Brittany I screamed one last time "Edward!" The sound was of pure anguish, and several people turned as if to help me, but upon seeing my broken appearance thought better of it. My Edward. He was gone." Bella was too late to save her love. Complete. Angst/Tragedy Only Happy When It Rains BPOV The chiming of the clock finally stopped. I was only past the fountain, barely half-way to my love, and I was too late. I fell to my knees, too weak to stand. This couldn't be happening. I screamed one last time "Edward!" The sound was of pure anguish, and several people turned as if to help me, but upon seeing my broken appearance thought better of it. My Edward. He was gone. I'm only happy when it rains I jerked to my feet, desperate, and ran as fast as possible, not tripping even in my haste. By the time I reached the alley, People were staring in shock as black smoke billowed from the alley entrance, a white shirt laying just within the shadows reaches. The motions finally caught up to me, pulling me under. I screamed, falling to the ground. My head fell back, as I subconsiously dug my nails into the top of my left wrist. Droplets of red blood ran down my arm, leaving trails that screamed at me. My blood. The thing Edward had craved above all others. Sobs racked my body, shaking me. I was preoccupied, not noticing the dark, cloaked figures emerging from the shadows. This wasn't how it was supposed to end. He died because he believed me to be dead, and I was alive. A cruel twist of fate. Everything was instantaneously clear. Edward loved me, he truly did. He was just as miserable by his departure as I was. We were perfect for each other, and nothing, not even death could change that. I heard the footsteps now, my hearing sensitive, along with the screaming of my family. I heard them all, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme. All except the one, the one that truly mattered. I'm only happy when it rains Two men stepped out of the darkness, their eyes pitch black. I jerked to my feet. It was their fault. The tears stopped, and everything turned red. They were the one's that destroyed my life, my reason for existence, and they would pay. My family, Edward's family, emerged from the shadows, dry sobs shaking them as they reached my side. Today was a day of death. If it could be helped, my family would not die, but it was to late for me, or the two murderers that stood before me. We would die.
"Bella! You can't do this!" Alice cried out, shocked, and horrified. I shook my head once. My fate was sealed.
Pour your misery down...pour your misery down
At this revelation, I screamed. I went slack in Emmett and Jasper's arms, shocking them. They expected me to fight. I was fighting, desperately, against my very sanity. Images, memories flared to the front of my mind, forcing me to cry out in pain and utter agony. Edward and I in our meadow. Edward and I in my bedroom, intertwined, and blissfully happy. The day he left me. The memories stinging, my vision blurred by my tears. I couldn't stand this. 'Please Bella, live. For me.' The velvety voice, carried on the wind, a whisper saving me from death. I collapsed, falling to my knees. I would not die. I would obey his wish. I choked against the tears. The two men disappeared into the shadows, but I disregarded it. They would get what they deserved eventually. Rain poured from the sky, the heaven's themselves crying. 'I love you Bella, more than anything else. I'm sorry.' I'm only happy when it rains My family surrounded me, the rain falling from the thick clouds above. 'I love you too Edward, more than you can ever imagine.' I replied wordlessly. He would hear me, I knew this for sure. 'I will join you someday Edward, wait for me.' I looked up at the sky. My family and I could survive this. We wouldn't be the same, no. Never would we be the same, but I could survive, until it was my time to join the love of my life. © 2008 Brittany |
