You're in my arms

And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

"Hi, can I dance with you?" I asked him quietly.
"Of course. You look really beautiful Bella." He said sincerely
"Thanks, Alice helped me pick it out." And then we were just dancing, I love being in his arms. I was savouring the moment, knowing I had only borrowed him from her. From Tanya, his girlfriend, it stings when I say it.
I remember us talking a few months ago.
"C'mon Edward! Dance with me, it's just one slow dance please, please, please" I pleaded with him.
"No, I don't want to. And you should be getting home." He argued with me.
"Fine!" I crossed my arms in front of me. "But you better promise me that I get to dance with you on prom!" I pouted.
"I promise." He answered as he kissed me on my forehead and hugged me close to him.
I was startled when I felt his breath on my ears. It brought me back to the present with him.
"What're you thinking about?" he whispered quietly.
My eyes were starting to tear up because I badly missed him.
"Nothing." I lied. My voice betrayed me when it cracked.
"It's not nothing" he said, as his grip tightened on my waist.
"You look like you're about to cry" he continued
I held back the tears that were threatening to fall. I swallowed before I whispered
"Do you remember what I said before" It was so quiet I thought he didn't hear me.
"No." He said honestly.
The tears were so close to falling.
"And now forever I know, all that I wanted was to hold you" I sang.
He looked at me like I was crazy but then his eyes softened as he spoke "Your voice is still as angelic as I remember"
"Thanks" I replied not looking at him.
He cleared his throat, "I saw you dancing with Emmett a while ago"
"Ah." I said, not wanting to talk about it anymore because I was crying while Emmett and I were dancing.
Emmett tapped me on my shoulders and asked me to dance
"So, how ya holding up lil sis?" Emmett asked as he spun me around.
I laughed, I felt like a little kid when I was with him. "Oh you know, still the same"
"Mm-hmm, honestly, how are you since the whole breakup" He asked sincerely and he was being serious now.
I felt the walls crumbling down and I started to tear up "I was having fun, I am having fun or so I tell myself, I can't seem to enjoy this night, seeing him with her, it hurts too much. I miss him so bad, I want to be in his arms right now, I want to be able to kiss him, to take pictures with him, to dance with him as he holds me tight. I want him to make good on his promise and dance with me. I want him to come back to me and to tell me he loves me. I want him to make everything alright" I was a blubbering mess by now and his grip on me got tighter.
"I am so sorry Bella-boo. If I can take your pain away, I would, believe me, I would. I hate seeing you in pain, but everything will be better. You just have to move on and get past the hurt. I can see that the spark in your eyes are gone" He choked, like he was about to cry.
"I feel dead inside Emmy" I said, the tears streaming silently down my face.
He was waiting for me to continue but when I didn't he assumed that it was Emmett's fault.
"What did Emmett do now to make you cry?" He sounded like he was annoyed.
It was too much now, he was being that guy again, the guy I fell in love with. I wanted so bad to hold him, to feel his lips again, to be safely tucked in his embrace. My tears fell and I couldn't hold them back anymore.
"Bella?" He sounded panicked. "B-Bella, why are you crying? Oh god, what did Emmett do? I'm gonna beat the crap out of him" He sounded so protective.
"It hurts too much Edward. I can't be friends with you" I choked out.
He looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
"I can't be friends with you" I yelled at him. "It hurts too much! It hurts to see you with your girlfriend! Because I miss you and I still love you. It hurts to be with you. It hurts to see you. I can't talk to you or even look at you without wanting to cry because I remember the times when you used to love me!"
I ran out, I couldn't take it anymore. I locked myself up in the bathroom stall. I cried my eyes out.
Someone knocked on my stall, probably Alice; she doesn't want this dress to get ruined. I quietly chuckled at the thought of Alice flipping out because I sat on the toilet seat cover.
"Bella, if you do not open this door right now, I will break it down" Alice growled.
I chuckled "Hold on you pixie" as I opened the bathroom stall.
She looked shocked when she took in my appearance.
"Bella, what the hell happened?"
She looked so surprised, I figured I didn't look that dishevelled maybe a bit of mascara running down my face and a few stray hairs here and there but she acted like it was worse than that.
"What? That bad huh?" I joked.
"Bella have you seen yourself in the mirror?" Her voice broke.
I looked at myself in the mirror the moment that she finished that statement. I gasped when I saw my reflection. My eyes were bloodshot and puffy, my lips were swollen from my incessant biting, my make up was so ruined and my hair was all over the place.
"I'm a train wreck!" I gasped in horror.
"C'mon let's get you fixed up" Alice said with so much intensity that I knew she was not just talking about my appearance but my broken heart as well.
