This is a song fic that I wrote while working on my other fanfic "Humans Together". The lyrics are the italics and bold.
Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sighed as I looked out the window at the pouring rain. It was a dull weekend. Edward was out hunting with Alice and Jasper, so he wouldn’t be back until Sunday, two days away. I had popped in a random CD that Renée had given me, and the first song was strange. As I listened to the lyrics, the words struck a chord in me.
I don’t need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I’ve always needed something
But I’ve got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You’re my only reason
You’re my only truth
As the music flowed over me, I noticed how true they were. I didn’t need a ton of things, and I could get by with nearly nothing. I moved to grab the CD case that was sitting next to the player and I looked at it. The first track on the disk was called “I Need You”, the song I was listening to.
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
I put the case back and curled up in a ball on my faded quilt, realizing how true the words were. I needed Edward so much: I needed him to survive. If he wasn’t there, it felt like half my being was missing, as if my lungs had been ripped out, and my heart had stopped beating loud enough for me to hear it. I lay back on the quilt, my head resting on the pillow. As I listened to the song, my mind began to fill with thoughts of Edward, and I began to hope he’d be back sooner than Sunday.
“Bella.”
You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again
You’re the love that rescues me
When the cold winds, rage
And it’s so amazing
’cause that’s just how you are
And I can’t turn back now
’cause you’ve brought me too far
I turned my head and saw Edward standing in my bedroom, his bronze hair dripping water and falling gorgeously over his now topaz eyes. My eyes widened in surprise.
“I thought you were coming back on Sunday,” I murmured as he gathered me in his arms. He shook his head, causing water to fly off the bronze strands and on to my hair.
“No. I didn’t need to hunt as much as Alice and Jasper. They let me come home early. Though,” his tone became thoughtful as he held me in his arms. “I think I was getting on Jasper’s nerves. He kept telling me to stop moping around and to just come back.” He looked down and smiled crookedly at me. I smiled.
“I’m glad you’re back.” We lapsed into silence as the song continued to play. He looked at me strangely, then disappeared. I assumed he went to grab a towel.
“What song is this?” he asked me when he came back with a towel to dry himself off. I didn’t answer, I just put my finger to my lips and made him listen to the words.
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
His topaz eyes narrowed, then widened when he heard the chorus. He looked down and me and sighed slightly.
“Oh, Bella.”
“What?” I asked and he looked out the window at the still pouring rain.
“It’s nothing. I’m just surprised you’re listening to this song,” Edward told me and I climbed out of his lap to go stand by the window.
“Now you now how much you mean to me, how much I need you,” I whispered, still looking out the window. Edward was silent and I turned around to look at him.
“I need you as much as humans need air to breathe. I need you as much as the earth needs rain. I need you forever,” I whispered the last sentence and Edward stood, the towel around his neck. His arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me close to his chest.
“And you know how much I need you,” he murmured against my hair, and I smiled. As the final chorus began to play, he began to sing along with it, his voice like an angel’s choir.
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven’s gate
There’s a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Oh yes I do
I need you
I need you
My eyes began to water as I listened to him singing how much he needed me, and how much I needed him. The water brimmed over, and tears began to fall down my cheeks. As the song finished, he gently turned me around and wiped my tears away, carefully as if I was made of porcelain. Which, compared to him or any of the Cullens, I was.
“Bella, you mean the world to me,” he whispered sincerely in my ear. “Never forget that. Never.” I nodded.
“So long as you never forget that I need you for eternity,” I told him, and he smiled his crooked smile at me.
“Deal.” Then he led me back to my bed and we lay there, listening to the rest of the CD.
“I love you Bella.” Were the last words I heard before I drifted off to sleep, Edward’s chest against my back, his arms wrapped lovingly around my waist.

Aw, it made me, a hopeless romantic, cry a tear for the couple no one thought should be (Especially after New Moon T.T). It was so good. It had me squealing with delight. Very good!
