So Not Over You Chapter 1, a twilight fanfic

This is a new story idea I got when I was listening to the song Over You by Daughtry. What if Alice never came back and Bella went on with her human life. In this story, she is in college, she isn't with Jake. She went to college in Alaska and met a bunch of new friends. One night they decide to go to a karaoke bar, and who should they meet but the Cullen's? (Bella is a little OOC at first) I hope you like it.

I can't believe I let them talk me into coming here. I shook my head over and over again at my three friends; Katie, Lilly and Carla. Carla was my roommate and Katie and Lilly and I all had English class together. Lilly and I majored in English and Katie minored in it.

I had been worried when I first came to Alaska Pacific University that I would have a hard time making friends. After my senior year at Forks where I had basically become a social pariah, I thought I wouldn't be able to let people get close to me again.

Then, I met Carla on the first day. She reminded me of Angela a lot, and we just clicked. As for Lilly and Katie, well they were both much more outspoken then Carla.

The first day of English they had come in just before the bell rang and then only seats left were the ones right next to me. Those became our assigned seats for the rest of the semester. It was sort of mandatory, or so they told me, for us to be friends.

They have to be two of the sweetest people I have ever met. They call me "mom" because I never go partying and I'm always making them dinner and cleaning up after them. I got so used to taking care of people with Charlie; the habit was hard to break.

They all think I need to get out more, so here I am. At a KARAOKE BAR. When they suggested it I hadn't really thought anything of it. I figured we would just hang out and talk. I honestly cannot believe I didn't realize that they were going to make me sing. I am so thick sometimes.

"Come on Bella!! I have heard you sing in the shower you have an amazing voice. If you don't get your butt up there right now I will personally see to it that you have bright pink hair when you wake up tomorrow." Katie pulled on my arm.

She was always threatening me with pink hair, ever since I had told her I had never dyed my hair she had been on my case; "You'd look so amazing with red hair," or, "This blond would look great with your complexion". And whenever she wanted me to do something, it was, "Do you want pink hair when you wake up tomorrow? Cause if you don't, you better listen to me. I am not afraid to come into your room and dye your hair while you're sleeping."

"Honestly, I have no clue why I put up with you guys. I cannot believe you dragged me here to force me to sing, in front of a room full of people." I narrowed my eyes menacingly.

"Come on, Bells! It won't be that bad! If you want we can come with…," I didn't hear the rest of what Carla said. Because, at that moment the door of the bar opened and the people who I had once considered family walked in, with him in tow.

I froze, every part of me was screaming, 'Get up and go, right now!'. I had always thought that if I ever saw him again I would be relieved, but I had been wrong. I was pissed. I had never let myself get angry at him, because I love him, and I thought it was my fault that he had left. I could've just done something, or said something to make him stay, but I didn't. And then, he was gone for what I thought would be forever.

Seeing him standing there brought all those years of pain and emptiness crashing down on me. I wish there was some way I could make him feel the pain that I'm feeling right now. And then it hit me. I could. I knew the song I would sing to him. All I had to do was get up and walk onto that stage.

"Alright, I'll go, I know just what song to sing too." My friends stared at me openmouthed they obviously hadn't expected me to actually go through with it.

"Whoo! Go Bella!," Katie started clapping her hands as I stepped onto the stage. I smiled at her graciously and then turned to the song choices. I hope they have the song.

As I scrolled through the songs, I could feel eyes burning into my back and I knew that it was the Cullen's staring at me. I don't know how, but I could tell the difference between my friends' stares and the Cullen's'. I finally found it and I breathed a sigh of relief and picked it.

The second I turned around my eyes met his, normally I would have looked away, but knowing what I was about to do instead I looked deep into his topaz eyes and raising the microphone up to my mouth I sang.

"Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

As I sang I watched as the emotions crossed his face. He had never been easy to read, but just now singing out the lie that I was over him I could see all the hurt, sadness and anger.

I could hear my friends clapping and eventually the rest of the room joined in. Some of the strangers were screaming for an encore and that really got my friends going, but I couldn't do it again. After what I had just done, all I wanted to do was go curl in a ball and sob because as I watched him I realized something. He still loves me. If he didn't why would he have such a strong reaction to what I sang? Doesn't change anything.

"Thank you," I cleared my throat and walked over to where my friends were sitting. They immediately started singing my praises.

"Bella, I had no idea you could sing like that."

"That was amazing, we are totally doing this again."

"I swear you almost made me cry!"

I put a hand up and stopped their ranting before they could start telling me I should get a record deal. "Thanks guys, listen, I saw some people I knew way back when and I think I'm going to just go over and say hey. That okay?"

"Of course, Bella, if you ditch us though, there will be hell to pay," Katie laughed.

"I don't even think she knows what ditching is she's so nice."

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny guys seriously choking back laughs right now." I looked back over my shoulder to make sure the Cullen's were still there. They were all looking at me expectantly, except for one. Edward was gone. I felt a pang of guilt for the pain I must have caused him. "I'll be right back, okay?"

They all mumbled okay and then went on talking about pointless stuff, like the cute boy who was sitting at the bar. I heard Carla say "too young", but other than that I didn't really hear anything.

I sighed and walked up to my former family. "Hey," was all I could say. Geez, I sound like an imbecile.

"Bella, how nice it is to see you." Esme got out of her seat to give me a quick hug. Although I was expecting it I couldn't help but shiver when her cold skin brushed mine. It has been years after all.

"You too, Esme," I pulled back from the hug and looked at the rest of them. Emmett was comforting Rosalie who looked like she was about to explode, Alice was just staring at me and Jasper was obviously concentrating on not breathing. "So, what brings you guys to Anchorage?"

"Oh, well we were up visiting Tanya. We were headed back down south and we decided to stop for a second, relax you know." At that, half of me was screaming "don't go" and the other half was screaming "why did you even have to stop?" It was starting to give me a headache to tell you the truth.

"That sounds nice. Where's Carlisle and… well I saw Edward before did he leave already?" I closed my eyes when I said Edward's name. Just saying it was painful, I couldn't imagine actually talking to him.

"No, actually he is at the bar. He needed to think a little, get some space you know," Esme looked down when she said this. It was obvious she disapproved of me singing that song to Edward in a room full of strangers.

"Oh." So that's who the girls were talking about. How ironic. "Too young", when he's actually over a century older than them.

"Isabella Swan! How could you do that to Edward? I realize you're angry and you have every right to be, but why did you have to lash out at him like that?" Alice's eyes burned a whole into mine. I flinched away and looked everywhere but at her. Unfortunately that didn't leave me any options. Rosalie was shooting daggers at me; Emmett looked disappointed which was insanely hard to bear. I let my eyes settle on Jasper, who was still concentrating to hard on not breathing to judge me.

"I'm sorry, I really am. I don't know why I did it, I thought it might be a good release. You know, I could finally get some closure after…" I cleared my throat and looked away. I could feel the tears starting to come and I really didn't want to cry in front of them. "I'm sorry," I said again in a small voice.

I couldn't look at them anymore so I just turned away. I walked back over to my friends, not looking back once.

"Sorry guys but I think I'm going to head home, I… uh… I'm not feeling too well… and I have to work tomorrow and everything. You guys stay though, have fun, I'll see you later." I didn't even wait for them to respond I just turned around and walked out the door.

Not paying attention to where I was going I started fishing out my keys. "Where are you, where are you?" I tripped over something, something that didn't surprise you when you were as big of a klutz as I am. What did surprise me was when I felt strong, cold hands that I knew so well catch me before I hit the ground.

I looked into the topaz eyes of the man I had, despite what I sang, never gotten over.

"Can we talk, Bella?"

I could see all the pain, and confliction in his eyes. I didn't need to be a mind reader to know he wasn't sure if he should be talking to me. I'm not sure if I should talk to him either. Oh, well I might as well. I've already lost my heart. What else is there?

So, I nodded and walked over to the car; I opened the passenger door and then walked over to the other side.

"Get in."

This story seems a little unoriginal to me and I'm not sure if I'm going to continue it or not. I just got the idea when I heard the Daughtry song and decided to go with it. Tell me what you think. Would you like to see more of it? Don't worry those of you who read Law and Order: Cullen Style and Eat your Vegetables the next chapters of those are coming up!

Thanks to ImagineXD for Beta reading this chapter!
