Alice and I had been best friends ever since I could remember. We grew up just three houses away from each other and the moment that we met, in kindergarten, we were all but connected at the hip. Alternating sleeping over at one anothers house, playing dress up, and as we got older it was the constant shopping trips.

Unlike myself, Alice grew up with two brothers, both older. Edward was a year older than us and nothing like his siblings. He was into music, classical as well as the modern, and not to mention played both the piano and the guitar. He was handsome with emerald green eyes, red-ish brown hair, and angular features. Though he tended to keep to himself, he was genually a nice person.

The eldest out of them was Emmett. He was mega into sports, more football than anything. However, when football season was done he kept himself occupied with basketball. Unlike Edward, Emmett was loud and had a tendancy to be quite annoying at times. He was a serious prankster as well, but that's just how he is. Though when it came down to it, if you needed him for any reason he was there for you.

For the longest time it was just the four of us, that is until the Hale twins moved to town. Jasper and Rosalie came to our tiny town when Alice and I were in eigth grade. And just as quickly as they moved we had befriended them both. They were a year a head of us with Edward, which suited us just fine.

Soon enough Alice discovered that she had a thing for Jasper and around the same time Rose and Emmett started dating. I always laughed at them, mostly because they couldn't be more perfect for each other. Rose turned out to be, not only stunningly gorgeous, but she was also heavily into the sports and loved to tinker under the hood of cars (which was one of Emmett's hobbies.) She was also the strict hand that he needed to keep him in check, and we were all very grateful for that since he tended to get out of hand every now and then.

When Alice and Jasper finally started dating I noticed drastic changes in both of them, mostly in Alice. Ever since I had known her she's had so much energy and was usually bouncing around. She would have to multitask on things cause she was afraid that she wouldn't get everything done otherwise. But as soon as Jasper came into her life that stopped. She still had a lot of energy but she didn't feel the need to multitask and stress all the time. Jasper seemed to have this ability to just calm her...well everyone who was around him really.

About half the way into the year we were getting really bored and needed shake things up a little. As we were sitting in the basement at the Cullen's house throwing out idea's karaoke was said. I thought it was a good idea since I had a karaoke machine at my house from when Alice and I were little. And ever since that night, every weekend we would have a karaoke night.

Tomorrow night just happened to be karioke night and I was practicing the song I was planning on singing. This specific song I was going to sing, I was going to sing to Edward. I had been crushing on him for years but never got up the courage to say anything. But Alice convinced me that this would be the best, and as she put it, the most adorable way to tell him.

Charlie and Rene were both at work so I had the house to myself. I turned the music up and looked at the lyrics I brought up on my computer and began to sing....

My state of mind has finally got the best of me,
I need you next to me. I'll try to find a way that I could get to you,
Just wanna get to you.

The world I see is perfect now, you're all around.
With you I can breathe.

Until you're mine, I have to find a way to fill this hole inside.
I can't survive without you here by my side.
Until you're mine, not gonna be even close to complete.
I won't rest until you're mine.
Mine...

Alone inside, I can only hear your voice ringing through the noise.

Can't fight my mind, keeps on coming back to you.
Always back to you.

Wanted something out of reach it's killing me.
You're all I see, yeah.

Just stop wondering, if we were meant to be.
Forget about fate and just hold me.
I'm ready to begin, the waiting has to end.
Right now, today, I've gotta find a way.

Mine...
Until you're mine...

My state of mind has finally got the best of me,
I need you next to me...

As soon as the music stopped I heard the light sound of clapping and immediately spun around only to find that Edward was standing in my doorway, smiling at me.

"How long were you standing there," I blushed.

He chuckled, "Long enough."

I can't believe he was just listening to me. He wasn't supposed to hear this until tomorrow...until I had the support of Alice and Rose. What was I going to tell him? I could lie I suppose but I was never good at that. Oh god what was I going to do now.

"So, that's how you really feel then. Alice wasn't just pulling my leg."

He didn't seem upset. On the contrary, he seemed to be quite amused. He was smiling softly, still looking at me, waiting for me to say something. But I couldn't say anything, I was to embarrassed to even look at him anymore. I looked down at my feet, blushing even more than I ever had before.

I heard footsteps and I thought maybe he was leaving, but instead I felt my face being pulled up. My eyes were immediately captured by a pair of sparkling green eyes. Edward's face was just inches away from mine and I could feel the warmth of his breath on my lips as he came closer.

Just before his lips touched mine he breathed my name. The sound of my name leaving his lips was all it took for me to close the distance myself, kissing him fiercely. Kissing him was a million times better than I ever imagined it would be. It was like a shock of electricity went straight to my heart and jump started it. My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest it was thundering so hard.

The kiss seemed to go on for hours, but was more like a couple of minutes. When we finally pulled away from each other we were both out of breath and panted. I couldn't help the smile that formed on my lips as I leaned my head against his chest and felt his face in my hair.

"Bella, I think you may need to pick a new song," he chuckled.

Hope you enjoyed it.
