HEY THERE!
It's my new story! Yay! Pleas Review, so I know if you like it…or not!
Their ages: Edward, Bella and Alice:17; Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper:18
Here's Chapter 1:Walking in the rain.
"Hey girls...and Edward" Jasper and Emmett greeted us while snickering at the sight of Edward.
"Hi." We said nonchalantly. Alice went to Jasper and Rose went to Emmett's side. Yep, they were all dating and going strong. I was the only one in our group who didn't have anyone. Well, what about Edward, you ask? Oh, he's with Tanya…
"You girls joining this year's battle of the bands?" Edward asked.
"I don't think so…I'm not really in the mood of performing anyway." I replied.
"Oh…too bad, we're joining…you girls should join so we could see sibling rivalry." Emmett said as he wiggled his eyebrows.
"Whatever Emmett."I shrugged.
"What, Bells? Scared of losing to your brother, are you?"He taunted, okay I had enough.
"Heck. Alice, sign 'Sky Fly' up! I wanna see your sorry ass when we blow 'Banned-aid' off the stage!" I said. Edward snickered, his emerald orbs filled with silent laughter and his tousled bronze hair glistening from the rare sun of Forks...Perfect, like always, but not mine…I threw him a glare, making him shut up and smile apologetically.
"Okay! Then we'll have to shop soon! It's only a month away!" Alice squealed. I bet she's already making plans for our trip to Port Angeles.
"That's the spirit, Bells! We'll see what we can do to wipe off your ego out of the charts." Emmett said and I just shrugged, this was going nowhere. We just better settle this.
"Here's the practice plan, girls in the Swan's. Guys in the Cullen's. just to make sure that no one bumps into anyone during practice." Jasper said calmly, trust him to be the calm one at a time like this.
"Whatever, Emmett, just take me home." I said as I made my way to the passenger side of his Jeep.
"Who said you were driving with me today?" Emmett said as he arched his brow.
"Uhm…I did?" I answered, making it sound like a question.
"No you're not. Rose and I are going to Port Angeles to catch a movie." Oh, Rose told me about that..I forgot about it.
I turned to Jasper.
"Sorry, Bella. Alice and I are going to…uhm…ahh…shopping. Yeah, shopping." Jasper stuttered while looking everywhere but me. Ugh, he was lying!
"Fine." I said.
Then, I turned to Edward. I really didn't want to…but what choice do I have? We were best friends since forever, yes, but I feel different when I'm with him…like I'm complete…and when he's with other girls, I feel like my heart's tearing apart.
"Sorry, Bella…I've got a thing with Tanya later." He said. Ugh, how I hate that girl. Ever since she was with Edward, I was getting pushed from my best friend's side…even from the whole group picture because I was apparently the seventh wheel!
"Fine. Thanks anyway guys…" I said and as if magically, Tanya appeared out of nowhere and began kissing Edward.
"Get a room." I sneered as I started walking away.
I heard my friends (Tanya not part because she was laughing) calling my name but I didn't turn around. I stalked off to the nearest bathroom. That's when I saw that I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Pathetic, why am I crying? It's not like Edward is mine…or ever was he mine so I had no right over him…I am so confused.
I cleaned my face but the tears just won't stop. I walked out of the bathroom, it started raining. And I had to walk. Well, it won't be that bad, right? I pulled the hood of my black hoddie over my head and started walking in the rain towards home.
As I walked down the side walk, I began to get lost in my thoughts. What's with Edward, I mean, my feelings? Why do I always get hurt when he goes with different girls? I mean, he never was anything but a best friend for me. He was always there for me. Always there to catch me when I fall, literally. Always there when I needed him…but why is it so different now? I miss the old him…so much. I began crying again.
I had a weird feeling that I was being watched but I couldn't care less. I just continued to walk home while crying in the rain.
A sliver Volvo was at by my side in a flash. I groaned. Why now? Why him? Oh, kill me now. Is he not supposed to be all over Tanya right now?
"Bella?" the velvet voice of the driver said as he stepped out of the car with his hood up.
"Yes, Edward?" I was surprised that my voice hitched and broke.
"What's wrong Bells? Want a ride home?" he asked, his green orbs worried just like his words.
"Nothing…no, thanks. I like walking in the rain." I said with a small smile when I realized that I did like it. I peered to the strawberry blond on the passenger's side. Tanya was sending me glares…but I didn't care.
"Please, Bella. Get inside the car." He begged as he reached for my wrist.
"No, Edward. Please, don't force me." I begged him.
"No, Bella. I'm bringing you home." He said as he grabbed my wrist.
I never knew I would be able to use my Taekwondo skills…especially not against my best friend. But I didn't want to interfere with him and his girl friend anymore so I used it. I brought my arm higher and quickly brought it down in a circular motion, enough for Edward to let go of my hand.
"I said no, Edward. Just get back to your Tanya and don't even go near me for a while." I said to him as more tears streamed down my face. With that, I ran away. Ran from Edward, from my best friend, from my life.
After taking a warm shower, I grabbed my leather composition notebook and my guitar then I made my way to my balcony. The Cullens lived next door...and Edward's side window was right smack in front of mine…but I pushed that though aside.
I looked towards the view that my balcony gave me. The scenery was still beautiful, even in the rain. Some things just never change. I smiled at that but it became a frown when I thought back old times with Edward.
Flashback
"Bella!" fifteen year old Edward called to his best friend.
"Yes Eddie?" fifteen year old Bella asked.
"Come and listen to me play!" Edward said with excitement.
"Okay…"Bella said uncertainly. With that, Edward grabbed her hand and brought her with him to the music room.
They both sat on the grand piano's bench.
"What are you gonna play today, Eddie?" Bella asked curiously.
"A song…!" Edward said.
"Oh. Okay, let's hear it!" Bella said. She was always excited when her best friend learned to play something new…it gave her a sense of pride and happiness…especially when she sees that Edward is happy.
When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok-a-e-a-e-ayyy.
and Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my-ay-ay, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay, woah stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
When he finished, Bella pulled him to a hug. He was great…like always.
"Edward, that was fantastic!" Bella said.
"Really? I wrote it for my best girl! I'm really happy that she liked it!" Edward said as he winked at Bella.
"That's so sweet, Edward! Tell me who this girl is!" Bella said even though she was disappointed.
"You, of course!" He said as he hugged her again.
"Me?" she asked, totally surprised.
"Yes, Bells. Forever and Always. No one compared to you." Edward said as he kissed his best friend's fore head.
Ugh. I always end up thinking of those things…I know exactly what to do…COMPOSE. With that, I started to write, planning to show the girls tomorrow in school. We might even end up using it as a song for the Battle of the Bands!
