Black Love

Chapter ONE

Bella's POV

[Chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

Maybe I should've seen the signs, should've read the writing on the wall.
And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall.
No matter what you say, I still can't believe
That you would walk away.
It don't make sense to me, but:

[Repeat Chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

It's not unbroken anymore.
How do I get it back the way it was before?

[Chorus 2:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break, why would you wanna break it

[Repeat Chorus 1:]
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?
Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now?
Why would you wanna make the very first scar?
Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart?

The crowd erupts with applause. I smile to myself knowing that my life was finally coming back together. After saying goodnight to my wonderful fans, I run at human pace off of the stage. Backstage, Vicky is waiting for me with a huge grin on her face. Despite our history, we somehow managed to come close. Sounds impossible, but look where we are today.

Flashback:

I was on an icy road in the winter. My heart, still slightly broken from Edward, was healing somewhat. I still needed my eternal sun that could keep me going. I was driving really fast, as fast as my old truck could go. If I could just drive faster, I could make it over that border before- I wasn't even able to finish my thought. It all happened so fast that I couldn't see. My tire hit a slick patch of ice that sent my truck swerving on the narrow road. My truck tumbled over a guardrail and crashed down the hill. Everything went black for Lord knows how long. When I came back to my senses, I could see my blood everywhere. My red blood. I also saw red hair. Flaming red curls came into my view as I focused my sight on a woman.

Victoria took sympathy on me that day and changed me. Ever since then, we have been just like sisters.

"Wow, Bella! Can't get much better than that!" she cheered.

"Thanks, Vicky. I am glad you liked it," I beamed.

"Oh, and before I forget, someone is here to see you," She said.

"You can't forget." I said, laughing. She laughed along with me.

"Who is it?"

"Well, why don't you just ask me?" a thick, Southern voice came said from the doorway. As I turned to see who it was, my dead heart clenched. My world froze in place. Everyone around me disappeared. That is, everyone except…

"Jasper," I breathed out. He smiled at me at first, but as he caught sight of my… er… condition, he gasped.

"Bella, you're a… um… a, uh," he stuttered out. Um, duh! How do you think I'm still young and alive?

I could tell that I would have to finish his sentence. "Vampire."

His perfect eyebrows furrowed. He raked a hand through his hair, swirling his masculine scent around. I took the chance to inhale a big whiff of it, committing every fragrance to memory. It was nice. It was also somewhat… sexy. I gulped realizing that he could still sense emotions around the room. Why am I thinking this way? It just isn't… I couldn't bring myself to say the word "right". I felt completely right.

Jasper's gaze shifted from the floor to my eyes. I watched as they noticeably darkened several shades.

"Bella, I think we should go to my place. You know, just to discuss some things that are important. Would you mind too dearly?" he asked gently. I couldn't bring myself to turn his offer down, so I did what I really wanted to; I accepted. I grabbed my purse and linked my arm in his that was kindly waiting for me. Together, we walked out the exit.
