Love Is Musical

Chapter 1

BPOV

God, I was exhausted after that orchestra rehearsal. My back ached and my hands felt like they were going to fall off. Still, I loved it so that was all that mattered.

I started humming a tune and wondered if it would go well as a song. Hmm maybe.

I picked up my violin and flicked my chestnut brown hair over one shoulder.

I felt it hit someone behind me and felt a breath of air on the back of my neck.

"Bella Swan, keep your hair under control, you might do someone some serious damage" the voice said, and I could hear the smirk in his voice as he said it.

"Oooh so sorry Eddie" I said mocking the way his girlfriend says his name.
"Bells, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that" said my gorgeous best friend Edward Cullen.

"A lot fewer times than you have to tell your girlfriend" I said, watching him for his reaction.

A shadow crossed his face and the smile left his beautiful lips. In honesty, I guess I've been in love with Edward since I can remember. We've been best friends since pre school and when we went into high school together, my feelings for him just increased, unfortunately so did those from the other girls. The only girls not interested in him were my two best friends Rosalie Hale and Alice Whitlock.

Edward was gorgeous with soft bronze hair and emerald eyes that sparkled when he was happy He had been going out with Tanya Denali for months, and I could never compete with her, despite what Alice and Rose tried to tell me. She was stunning- long red hair and blue eyes. I was just plain Bella- brown hair and eyes and deathly pale skin. I wasn't hideously disfigured but I wasn't anything special.

I sometimes wonder how Edward doesn't realised how much I love him, everyone else seemed to know, including his not so lovely girlfriend, who was always rude and hostile to me when she had the chance. Ah well.

I looked up from my reverie and realised how close Edward's face was to mine. I blushed scarlet and looked down.

He put his hand on my chin and pulled it up so I could look in his eyes.

"Isabella Marie Swan, you are my best friend, and I know that…."

He didn't get a chance to finish that sentence. It had started to rain, and despite how discoordinated I usually was, when I was dancing and in the rain, that all disappeared. I loved the rain. I ducked under his arm and, picking up my violin, sprinted into the rain, where I span and danced all the way home.

I watched Bella dance down the street, her brown hair flying around her face and her beautiful eyes bright and happy. Why had I never seen this before? Why had I never realised how beautiful she is? She is everything I want and more. Apart from being kind, caring and compassionate. She could also be sarcastic, cruel and harsh, and on anyone else that would be called a bitch, but she's not. She's so not.

I wanted her. She had to take mine.

I resisted the urge to run after her and hold her, and instead, got into my car and went, wondering all the way how to make Bella find out how much I love her.

I needed help from someone. A very particular someone actually…

APOV

"AAAAAH!!" I screamed when Edward told me. "I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! You two will make SUCH a cute couple!"

"Al, chill" Edward said, "I don't think she even likes me that way, but I have to tell her how I feel."

"But…what about the mega bitch?" I asked.

"What, Tanya? I guess I'll break up with her. I'll go and see her…." He said.

I got home, soaking wet but laughing with exultation. I showered, changed into some comfortable clothes and grabbed my guitar. I had to write the perfect song for Edward, seeing as he was all I could think about lately.

I started playing some chords, and wrote down some words

I don't think this passenger seat has ever looked so good to me….

EPOV

"What!? You're BREAKING UP WITH ME!" shrieked Tanya, her blue eyes cold and shocked, her hands balled up into fists.

"I'm sorry Tanya, I thin this is for the best…" I tried to say through her screaming

"What, who is it? Who is this other girl trying to steal my boyfriend? God, I'm gonna kill this little slut!" she screamed.

"There's no one else" I lied "It's me, not you. I'm sorry, I should go."

I turned round and walked out the door and towards my car

"But Eddie!..." She shouted

Without even turning round, I just said as I unlocked my car

"It's Edward, Tanya"

Phew, I sighed. Thank god that was over. Now, to get onto the more important things. How to win Bella- Well, a song obviously. I got my guitar out and sat leaning against my bed.

As I strummed random chords, some words came to me, and I wrote them down.

She looks, at me. I fake a smile so she won't see, what I want, and I need and everything that we should be….

This song was perfect. As the words and notes formed in my head, I thought of when I'd sing it to her. Much as it pained me to think about it, tomorrow at school, she would just be Bella, my best friend, not Bella, my girlfriend, and even though I just KNEW that she didn't love me like I did her, I had to tell her soon, before she met someone else. And that couldn't happen….

BPOV

As I finished off the last chord of my song, I wondered when to sing it to Edward. I mean, it's not like he's single, and I KNOW he doesn't love me like I do him. And it's especially bad that I love him when he's got a girlfriend. Tanya Denali is not one to be messed with….

Wait, what am I talking about? I could never mess with Tanya, seeing as I have no claim to Edward's heart. Ah well, a girl can dream right?...
