Chapter 1

BPOV

Everybody's lives change, whether they choose to accept it or not. When he decided to leave six months ago, I thought my life was over. Unfortunately, Charlie had other plans. I was living with Uncle Burt and Aunt Carol in Lima, Ohio. I was also going to William McKinley High School with my cousins Kurt and Finn.

"Guys, this is my cousin Bella." Finn said. "Bells, this is the club." Finn said. He put his arm around a short dark haired girl.

"What's up with her?" One asked.

"Well, Mercedes, her boyfriend left her." Kurt said.

"Do you want to hear the whole story?" I asked. They nodded. "I met Edward in Biology. He was everything I wanted. All the girls wanted him and he chose me. We dated for six months, and then we had a fight on my birthday. I thought things would go back to normal. I was wrong. A few days later, he said he wanted to talk. His dad got offered a job in LA and he stayed behind to say goodbye. He told me I wasn't good enough for him, that he never loved me and I was a distraction for him and his family. I still love him. Being away from him is killing me. And the bad thing is, I know he's not coming back, but I keep holding on to nothing. He seemed too good to be true."

"Oh my god!" Kurt said. "You never told me the whole story. Now on with the introductions. This is Rachel, she's Finns girlfriend. That's Mercedes, Artie, Santana, Puck, Tina, Quinn, Brittany, Sam, Mike, Rory and Blaine." While Kurt was telling me their names, they were leading me to the choir room. I lost my footing and almost hit the floor. Blaine caught me.

"Hi."

"Hi." He said. He was extremely good looking.

"Thanks for catching me. I'm trying to not hurt myself."

"Well you're obviously failing." We started laughing.

"Thanks for stating the obvious." We were staring into each other's eyes when Kurt came out and took my hand. He dragged me into the room.

"Bella, this , he is in charge of the glee club." Finn said.

"It's so great to meet you. Finn and Kurt haven't shut up about you since they found out you were coming. Do you sing?"

"Not really."

"Bella don't be modest. She writes her own music." Kurt said.

"Can we hear one?" Tina asked.

"Sure. I need a guitar though." The one named Puck handed me one.

"If you need someone to mend your broken heart let me know." He whispered. I quickly shook that off and prepared to sing this song. I had to mentally prepare myself to not cry.

You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
People try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
I know, I know
I just know
You're not gone
You can't be gone, no
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it

Everyone clapped while I wiped my tears away.

"Bella, you have to do glee." Artie said.

"I'll do it!"
