Esme's POV

I was sitting in my studio, painting one of my newest creations, when Renesmee came bounding in.

"Hi, Grandma," She said.

"Hi sweetie," I said. I set my paintbrush down and turned too look at her, "What did you need?" I asked her.

"You need to come out to the garage," she said, taking my hand. I was confused. What on earth could be in the garage that was so important? I pushed open the garage door and the rest of my family was there. The cars were pulled out of the garage. The girls were sitting on an old couch and the boys were setting up a stereo and microphones.

"What are you all doing?" I asked. Bella stood up.

"We decided to have some fun and do karaoke" she said. Emmett looked at me,

"And everyone has to sing," he added. Great. Just great. I thought to myself. I really don't like to sing infront of people. But none of my family has ever heard me sing before. It could be fun.

"Ok. We're ready to go" Jasper said. He handed a microphone to Emmett and one to Rosalie. A duet. That should be cool. I sat down on the couch next to Carlisle as the song started. Rosalie began to sing:

It's going down, I'm yelling timber. You better move, you better dance. Let's make a night, you won't remember .I'll be the one, you won't forget

wooooo oooooh

Then Emmett began to rap:

The bigger they are, the harder they fall This biggity boy's a diggity dog I have 'em like Miley Cyrus, clothes off Twerking in their bras and thongs, timber Face down, booty up, timber That's the way we like the war, timber I'm slicker than an oil spill She say she won't, but I bet she will, timber

Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round. End of the night, it's going down.

[Rosalie] It's going down, I'm yelling timber. You better move, you better dance. Let's make a night, you won't remember, I'll be the one, you won't forget. It's going down, I'm yelling timber You better move, you better dance. Let's make a night, you won't remember. I'll be the one, you won't forget.

ooooh

[Emmett] Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane Nah, it's just me, ain't a damn thing changed. Live in hotels, swing on plane .Blessed to say, money ain't a thing Club jumping like Lebron, now, Voli. Order me another round, homie We about to climb, wild, 'cause it's about to go down

Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down Swing your partner round and round End of the night, it's going down One more shot, another round End of the night, it's going down

[Rosalie] It's going down, I'm yelling timber. You better move, you better dance. Let's make a night, you won't remember .I'll be the one, you won't forget.

It's going down, I'm yelling timber. You better move, you better dance. Let's make a night, you won't remember. I'll be the one, you won't forget ooooh.

The song ended and everyone clapped. Rosalie set down the Mic, and Emmett chucked his to Carlisle. I was wondering what Carlisle was going to sing. He didn't sing often and when he did it wasn't usually hip hop. I was proved wrong when the song started. I knew this song.

Hey! Where's the drum?

Ooh girl you're a 5th avenue diamond. And they don't make you like they used to, You're never going out of style

Ooh pretty baby. This world might have gone crazy. The way you saved me, Who could blame me. When I just wanna make you smile

I wanna thrill you like Michael I wanna kiss you like Prince Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye Like Hathaway write a song for you like this

You're over my head I'm out of my mind Thinking I was born in the wrong time One of a kind, living in a world gone plastic Baby you're so classic Baby you're so classic Baby you, Baby you're so classic

Four dozen of roses Anything for you to notice All the way to serenade you Doing it Sinatra style

Ima pick you up in a Cadillac Like a gentleman bringin' glamor back Keep it real to real in the way I feel I could walk you down the aisle

I wanna thrill you like Michael I wanna kiss you like Prince Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye Like Hathaway write a song for you like this

You're over my head I'm out of my mind Thinking I was born in the wrong time Let's start the rewind, everything is so throwback age (I kinda like it like it) Out of my league Old school chic Like a movie star From the silver screen One of a kind living in a world gone plastic Baby you're so classic Baby you're so classic Baby you're so classic

Baby you're class and baby you're sick I never met a girl like you ever til we met A star in the 40's, centerfold in the 50's Got me tripping out like the sixties Hippies Queen of the discotheque A 70's dream and an 80's best Hepburn, Beyoncé, Marilyn Manson .Girl you're timeless, just so classic

You're over my head I'm out of my mind Thinking I was born in the wrong time Let's start the rewind, everything is so throwback age (I kinda like it like it) Out of my league Old school chic Like a movie star From the silver screen You're one of a kind living in a world gone plastic Baby you're so classic Baby you're so classic Baby you're so classic.

Carlisle never looked away from me as he sung. The song felt like it was written just for me by him. Everyone was cheering as he set down the mic and walked over to me. Our lips lock.

"You were really good," I said when our lips broke apart.

"Thank you. Who's next?" he asked as we sat down.

"Me!" Renesmee squealed as she ran up. The music started:

I keep moving, Going through the motions
Step by step, Doin' what I'm told
The lights are on me, Everybodys watchin'
But nobody knows who I am

'Cause I hurt, Yeah I hurt
All over my body
I dance, I just dance to get through
Yeah I hurt, Yeah it hurts
All over my body
What hurts most, waiting for you
Waiting for you

(Waiting for you)

I've been thinkin', What's the point of trying?
Everyday, Always ends the same
On a stage, blinded by the darkness-
And I might not see you again...

'Cause I hurt, Yeah I hurt
All over my body
I dance, I just dance to get through
Yeah I hurt, Yeah it hurts
All over my body
What hurts most, waiting for you
Waiting for you

(Waiting for you)

I just keep dancing on
Dancing to different songs
I just keep moving on
Even when you have gone

'Cause I hurt, Yeah I hurt
All over my body
I dance, I just dance to get through
Yeah I hurt, Yeah it hurts
All over my body
What hurts most, waiting for you
Waiting for you

(Waiting for you)

(I'm waiting for you)

(Just waiting for you [x2])

When the song ended, Everyone clapped and Renesmee bowed. She ran back to her seat and handed the mic to Alice. She ran up with Jasper. I hand no idea what they planned on singing, because their musical like were completely different. One of them would go out of their comfort zone. The music began. It was a slow tempo song. I liked it:

[Jasper]

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short, but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said, 'I'll love her till I die.' And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

[Alice]

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short, but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

It was a beautiful song. I would be crying if I could. We all clapped. Alice handed her mic to Bella, and Jasper handed his to Edward. The stood in front of us and started the song. I heard this song before. I really loved it:

[Bella]
The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart...
... beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

[Edward]
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

[Both]
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...

I'll love you for a thousand more...

One step closer

[Chorus: Bella]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

[Both]
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

They kissed as the music faded away. We all clapped. Edward set down his mic and Bella handed hers to me,

"You'll do great" she said. I took the mic and a deep, uneeded, breath, before standing up and picking a song. I chose my favorite song, and the one that best represented me. The music started and I looked down, letting my brown hair fall in front of my face. I started off at a quieter tone:

I'm breakin' down
Gonna start from scratch
Shake it off like an etch-a-sketch
My lips are saying goodbye
My eyes are finally dry

I'm not the way that I used to be
I took the record off repeat
It killed me but I survived
And now I'm coming alive

As the chorus came up I gained my courage to look up. I was being to like this.

I'll never be that girl again
No oh oh [x2]

My innocence is wearin' thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me

Miss movin' on
Oh oh oh [x2]

I broke the glass surrounding me (surrounding me)
I ain't the way you remember me (remember me)
I was such a good girl
So fragile but no more

I jumped the fence to the other side (the other side)
My whole world was electrified (electrified)
Now I'm no longer afraid
It's Independence Day (Independence Day)

I'll never be that girl again
No oh oh [x2]

My innocence is wearin' thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me

Miss movin' on

Everything is changing and I never wanna go back to the way it was (to the way it was)
I'm finding who I am and who I am from here and now is gonna be enough (is gonna be enough)
Is gonna be enough

I'll never be that girl again
No oh oh
I'll never be that girl again
Oh oh oh

My innocence is wearin' thin
But my heart is growing strong
So call me, call me, call me
Miss movin' on
Oh oh oh
Miss movin' on

(On and on and on and on and on)

Miss movin' on
Oh oh oh [x4]

Yeah, I'm movin' on

The song ended, and everyone clapped and cheered. Emmett even whistled. Carlisle ran up and kissed me.

"That was beautiful," he said when we broke apart. "Where did you learn to sing like that," he asked.

"I don't know, I never sang as a child." I admitted.

"Its a shame, because that was amazing," Bella said. Everyone agreed.

"Can you sing again?" Renesmee asked. I thought about it. It couldn't hurt.

"I guess so," I said. I handed a mic to Carlisle. "Duet?" I asked. He nodded. I knew exactly what song to sing. Extremely slow and very beautiful. I pushed play. Carlisle began:

God and his priests and his kings
All were waiting, all will wait as they go over
Held between heaven and hell
As they're dancing, as they dance over and over...over
Cold, Cold

Then I began my part:

Crimson and bare as I stand
Yours completely, yours as we go over
Sing for the lion and lamb
Their hearts are haunting
Still hearts hold ever and ever...ever
Cold, Cold

Then both of us sang the last verse:

God and his priests and his kings
Turn their faces, even they feel the cold, oh...oh
What you are given can't be forgotten and never forsaken
What you are given can't be forgotten and never forsaken
Cold, Cold

The song ended and everyone clapped and cheered again. I was actually having fun at the whole singing thing. I sat down and all of the boys took to the "stage". Us women sat on the couch. The were all going to sing together. The song started:

[Edward]
Baby, I, I wanna know
What you think When you're alone.
Is it me? Yeah.
Are you thinking of me? Yeah, oh.
We've been friends Now for a while.
Wanna know that when you smile.
Is it me? Yeah.
Are you thinking of me? Yeah. Oh, oh.

[Carlisle]
Girl, what would you do?
Would you wanna stay
If I were to say?..

[All:]
I wanna be last, yeah,
Baby, let me be your,
Let me be your last first kiss,
I wanna be first, yeah,
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this,
And if you
Only knew.
I wanna be last, yeah,
Baby, let me be your last,
Your last first kiss.

[Emmett]
Baby, tell me would it change?
I'm afraid you'll run away.
If I tell you what I've wanted to tell you.
Yeah...

[Jasper]
Maybe I Just gotta wait.
Maybe this is a mistake.
I'm a fool, yeah,
Baby, I'm just a fool, yeah, oh, oh

[Carlisle]
Girl, what would you do?
Would you wanna stay
If I were to say?..

[All:]
I wanna be last, yeah.
Baby, let me be your,
Let me be your last first kiss.
I wanna be first, yeah,
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this.
And if you
Only knew.
I wanna be last, yeah,
Baby, let me be your last,
Your last first kiss (your last first kiss)
Your last first kiss (your last first kiss)

[Edward]
Girl, what would you do?
Would you wanna stay
If I were to say?..

[Emmett]
Your last first kiss!

[All:]
I wanna be last, yeah.
Baby, let me be your,
Let me be your last first kiss.
I wanna be first, yeah,
Wanna be the first to take it all the way like this.
And if you
Only knew.
I wanna be last, yeah.
Baby, let me be your last,
Your last first kiss.

I wanna be last, yeah,
Baby, let me be your last,
Your last first kiss.

[Carlisle]
Ooh

[All:]
I wanna be last, yeah,
Baby, let me be your last,
Your last first kiss.

As they sang they would look at their own mate. When the song was over we all ran up and kissed our mate. That was really romantic of them. it was our turn to do the same. I took Carlisle's mic and stood with the other girls. Renesmee sat with the men. We started our song:

[Rosalie and Bella]

I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you...

[All]

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

[Me]
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...

[All]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

[Alice]
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you

[All]

And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...

[All]
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

(repeat 2x and fade]

We set down our mics, and ran over to our husbands as they clapped for us. We cleaned up and left the garage. We had so much fun today, and later tonight, my husband and I would have much more.
