POV's Used in this chapter - Bella (x2), Alice and Edward.
((Bella's POV))
It had been 5 months. 5 long months since he left. 5 painful months since my love took my heart away with him.
So why do I still feel like I did the first day it happened?
This is ridiculous. I should be over this. I should be happy now.
"So what do you say, Bella?" I heard someone speaking to me.
My head snapped up. I focused on Jessica as she spoke. "Uhm, sorry, what?" I asked, flushing a little at being caught not listening to her.
She laughed softly and rolled her eyes, obviously used to me spacing out. "The school's talent show... it's next week, sign ups are today, you gonna do it?" She asked.
I was the one to laugh now. "Are you serious? Me? I don't think so Jess" I said shaking my head. "Crazy even thinking about it" I added, mumbling.
She sighed and leaned across the table to me a little. "Come on Bella... I know you can sing, you sang at the slumber party last month, you could so totally win it!" She said, excitement evident in her eyes.
I pursed my lips and thought back to the slumber party Jessica had the previous month, something which my dad just about kicked me to. It did turn out to be fun, sort of, all the girls were pretty nice, some I didn't know as they were Jessica's cousins, but they were nice all the same. They had dared me to sing any song that came on the radio and I did it.
I always knew I could sing... not saying I was amazing, but I wasn't completely tone deaf either, I just never sang in public.
I sighed and looked at Jessica. "I'll sign up" I finally said, just to get her off my back.
She squealed a little and clapped her hands together. "Oh yay! Excellent, it'll be brilliant!" She gushed and ate some lunch.
((Alice's POV))
"But I want to gooo!!" I complained, jumping up and down on my bed looking at Jasper.
He shook his head at me, rolling his eyes. "Come on Alice, you know as well as I do that you cannot go back to Forks for this thing" He said.
I flopped down onto the bed and huffed, crossing my arms across my chest as I pouted at him. "I hate Edward! You know that?! He is being totally unreasonable... sure he thinks its safer if he isn't around, but I shouldn't have been expected to leave my best friend!" I ranted.
Jasper caught my bad mood and instantly sat next to me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his chest.
"You cant really blame him, Alice" He said hesitantly and I knew right away what he was getting at so I quickly interrupted him.
"Oh now, Jasper Hale, you cannot and will not blame yourself about this, it is not your fault at all!" I said, looking at him fiercely.
There was a knock on the door, I turned my head, even though I knew who it was, and watched as Emmett came in, a small smirk on his face. "Plan get back to Forks is a go Fortune Cookie!" He said with a grin.
I jumped up. "What do you mean?" I asked and ran up to him, jumping up and down on the spot.
"Edward left to go hunting... he said he wont be back for a few days... he'll never know where we've gone" He said - his grin getting bigger.
I let out a soft scream and hugged him. "Excellent! Absolutely excellent! We'll leave tonight, get back to Forks tomorrow night and be right on time for the show!" I said seeing it all come together. "Go! Go pack some things!" I said, pushing him out the door before running to my wardrobe to pack things myself.
((Edward's POV))
I had only been back with my family and the Denali clan for a few weeks. I had left once we got here after we left Be - after we left Forks.
I couldn't be around them any longer. I couldn't be around the pitying thoughts or, even worse, the thoughts of how much they missed Bella - and in Alice's mind, how much she wanted to kill me for taking them away.
I was sorry for my decision, of course I was. But it had to be done! I had to protect her.
Tanya had said she wanted to go for a hunt and of course I immeadiatly said I wasn't going, that was until Esme noticed the dark rings under my eyes and practically kicked me out the door with Tanya to hunt.
We were only about 5 miles from the house when I caught Alice's scream. I wanted to turn back and see what was wrong, but Tanya said to continue.
So I just listened carefully to her thoughts.
'Oh finally, I get to see her again. 5 months is way too long. He should have coped onto himself by now. Stupid Edward. Ohhh I'm going to have to make sure she looks good before she attempts to sing! Ah I'm so excited..... God Emmett, shut up, I'm coming'
No they weren't. They wouldn't.
I looked to Tanya who was glaring at me for stopping. "I uh... I have to go back, Tanya!" I said before quickly darting back towards the house.
No way in hell was I allowing them to go back to Forks. Not now after all this time.
Alice had seen Bella sign up for some Talent show the school was putting on. I had told her not to be looking in on Bella's future, but when did Alice ever listen to me? Never, right.
She had been determined to go see her, how could I ever allow that? I had left, we all had left Bella, I couldn't put her through us coming back, even if it was for just one day.
No, I wouldn't allow it.
I burst through the door about 20 minutes later, looking around. Carlisle knew the look on my face, Jasper could sense the anger seeping out.
"They left about 15 minutes ago, son" Came Esme's soft voice.
I ran upstairs and got my cell phone and dialed Emmett's number.
"Emmett McCarty Cullen you had better get your ass back here right now" I growled down the phone.
All I got as a response was his out right chuckling. "You know what, bro? I don't think I can do that... I miss my little human too much, but you can come get us, by all means" He said before hanging up.
I threw the phone across the room, it hit the wall and shattered. "I'm gonna kill them..." I mumbled before grabbing my coat and a spare change of clothes, tossing them into a bag I took a look at the time. I could catch up with them if they were running. I just had to know which way they were heading.
I ran downstairs and went to Jasper. "Which way?" I asked on my way to the door.
"Honestly, I don't know, Edward, Alice said nothing about it, she just left" He said and I knew he was telling the truth.
"Great" I murmured before yanking the door open. "I'll be back once I find them" I said, half warning as I walked out of the house, letting the door fall shut behind me.
I promised Bella I would never bother her again, and that meant my family too - I was not about to let them break that promise. Ever.
((Bella's POV))
I had one day to pick a song. One day. What am I supposed to sing. I groaned a little and lay down on my bed. My phone, resting on my stomach, began buzzing. I picked it up and took a quick look at the text on it.
Hey Bella, I got a solution - just turn on the radio... whatever comes on, that's what you will sing. Good luck! And tell me what you chose! Hehe. Jess. Xxx
Worked last month! ;)
Ugh. God only knows what will come on the radio. So I went with the next best thing. I reached over my night stand to get my Ipod.
Flicking it on I turned it on shuffle.
Closing my eyes I sent a silent prayer to the powers that be that the song that comes on first will be suitable, and something that I wont totally make a fool of myself by singing.
I pressed play and listened as the first few chords began playing.
A small, knowing smile played on my lips.
Perfect.
I took up my phone and sent a quick text back to Jessica to tell her my song. I had to laugh at her response.
Ohh. Perfect! I love it. Xxx
Mmm, he's gorgeous. isn't he? Haha.
Talk to you tomorrow!
I shook my head and chuckled some.
Maybe it wont be so bad tomorrow.
So? What do you all think?? There will be another chapter after this one... and maybe another after that, depends on how the first 2 are taken by people! So yup, please review! :)
