Bella Pov:
I'm so bored. Edward won't be home till later today and Jasper is just in his room. He isn't really that good at Bella sitting. I wish that Jasper and I were able to bond more but we don't really have much in common. Well I mean, Alice I have a lot of bonding time and we don't have much in common, so maybe Jasper and I might be able too.
When I go up to his room, he is sitting on his bed reading a book. He barely even notices I'm here until I sit on the end of the bed.
"Oh hey Bella! What can I do for ya?" Asked Jasper
"I'm super bored, and I wanted to come see what you were up to!"
"Oh well, uhhh, just sitting here, reading my book." He said annoyedly
"Oh."
Minutes went passed in silence while I was looking around his room and he was reading his book. In the corner, I notice a beautiful acoustic guitar. As I walked towards it, Jasper looked up from his book and got excited.
"Have you taken lessons?!" He asked
"No" I said sadly
He looked disappointed when I said that and returned to his book. I picked up the guitar and put my fingers on random strings. When I strummed it made an awful sound so Jasper got up and walked toward the door.
"I'm to go call Alice quickly to see how everything is going. You can stay in here and … yeah… if you want" he said as he left
After I knew he had left, I picked up the guitar and put the capo on the 2nd fret. Most people think I can't play because even when Jasper asked if I have ever taken lessons, I can honestly say I haven't. When I was at my mom's house, I was home alone a lot so I went online and taught myself how to play. After a while of practicing the chords, I started to write my own songs. When it's ready, I wrote a song for Edward so then he has his own version of the lullaby that her wrote me.
I started to strum the first four chords C G Am F of my song when I heard a door shut down stairs. Set the guitar down on the bed and layed down, looking at the ceiling. Just then Jasper came in the room looking surprised.
"I thought you said you couldn't play?" Asking mischievously
"I never said that. You just asked if I have ever taken lessons, and I haven't"
"Play some more, I want to hear you"
I played more of the song but didn't sing because it is embarrassing enough he knows I can play. After playing the first verse i stopped and looked at him to see what he would say.
"So Bella, did you write that song?"
"Yeah" I said embarrassed
"Well did you think of any lyrics for it yet?"
"Ummm, yeah"
"Well lets hear them!"
I took a deep breath and started to strum. I mean it is only me and him right? He wouldn't judge me.
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said…
I stopped then and say him smiling. I mean he is really smiling! That means he might actually like it!
"So…" I asked
"Bella that is so sweet. He is going to absolutely love it." He said
"Really, thank you. I really hope so!"
I put the guitar away and Jasper and I walked down stair to go make me food. When we hit the bottom step, the whole family was in the living room, including Edward, looking at me. I turned to Jasper and said…
"You knew?!"
"Well yeah of course, I could hear you all the way from outside… vampire remember? And when you started playing I was on the phone with Alice, and she got everyone to come back right away.
Just then Edward walked up to me and …...
