A/N: This is just a short preview of what could be. I am not sure if I completely adore the story line. To set up this preview, Jasper and Bella have been friends for many, many years. He has known guitar since he was 5 and when Bella's parents can't afford to give Bella lessons, Jasper offers to teach her. In this particular segment of the story, they are about 14/15. In this all human story, Jasper isn't adopted. He lives with his mother and his cousin Rosalie. Edward and his little sister Alice came to Forks 9 months before hand. Emmett is Bella's cousin. Carlisle and Esme are Edward and Alice's parents, they are adopted.
All Human.
Alternate World sort of.
Just a preview, let me know if you would like a full story (:
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the characters as they belong to the wonderful Ms Meyer. However, I do own the idea of Bella and Jasper being best friends and Jaz giving Bells guitar lessons. If I find a story published after mine with this similiar idea, I won't be impressed. If you want to use this idea, PM me and ask me. I will ask you to explain how you will change it so we don't write the same story.
Cheers ^___^
-:- Mine, Hers, His -:-
My blood was rapidly pumping around my body in uneven pumps and pulses. My hands shook as I strummed the chords, my calloused fingers making almost mechanical movements under the familiar tune. I finally risked a glance at her and I couldn't help but smile. Her brown eyes were focused on my sweeping fingers, like usual, that same look of concentration on her face. Her brows had furrowed and her fingers twitched against air
The one thing that caused the smile though, out of all the movements Bella was making, was the way her lips began to twitch. I knew she was close to giving me that smile.
My smile.
I could almost hear her trying to memorize the number of strums or where my fingers met the fret board. I always respected that Bella never said a song was too hard. "It isn't too hard for me Jaz," she would say when I asked if she wanted the easy version. "It will just take longer for me to learn it."
I continued to sing the song, the words falling from my lips with the kind of ease I adored. I loved playing songs like these; songs I had practiced and practiced till my fingertips cut and my throat became sore. I loved them because when they were so fucking familiar that they tumbled out of my lips from habit, I gaze upon Bella freely without fear of screwing up the lyrics or messing up the notes.
I stared at the inspiration for the lyrics; the freckles on her cheeks and nose, the freckles that were the colour of a golden sunset. I glanced at the subtle arch of her eyebrows; the way her thick lashes cast shadows on her cheeks, caused by the dim candlelight; I admired the way her pale skin glowed, the elegance of her neck, the way her top lip was fuller than her bottom lip. I couldn't help but smile myself when I noticed her twitching lips had finally spread out into my grin.
I continued singing my song.
Her song.
The lyrics dwindled out as a frown was tempting to form on my face. She would be gone in a few minutes and I would have to wait till Monday to see her again, but he wouldn't.
"That was beautiful," her voice was awed and I couldn't help but smile despite my saddening thoughts. "Can you send me the chords tomorrow?"
"Of course, Bella. You know I always do." She giggled and packed up her guitar. She left her cookies as payment on my bedside table. I had refused money and had always loved Bella's baking, so she left me choc chip cookies ever lesson, three times a week.
"See you Monday, Jaz," she smiled my smile. I waved goodbye as she walked out the door.
I sat on my bed and tried to ignore the tugging at my heart. I ran my fingers through my blond curls and frowned.
That was my smile.
This was her song.
But she was his.
A/N: So what did you all think? If you do want this continued, drop me a line in a review. If only one person reviews, I probably won't continue. (Sorry, it's just I am unsure about this and I need opinions.)
Thankyou very much,
