I picked up my guitar. I've been playing since I was four. I never told Edward though; I didn't think it was really important. Besides, he'd been really busy lately, hunting with Jasper. I would be visiting their house again later today. I can't wait!
A grabbed my microphone stand and started to sing, "We haven't met, and that's okay. 'Cause you will be asking for me one day…" I sighed, then began to sing once again. "Don't
want to wait in line. The moment is mine believe me. Don't close your eyes, 'Cause it's a chance worth takin', and I think that I can shake you!" I started to jump around, it was fun
to sing, carefree, when no one is watching. Edward is hunting and Charlie left to see one of his friends…. "I know where I stand, I know who I am. I would never run away when
life gets bad. It's everything I see. Every part of me, gonna get what I deserve. I got nerve!" At this point, I had fallen to the floor. I tried to get back up, while still playing the guitar.
The feat was difficult, yet somehow I managed. "Electrified, I'm on a wire, Getting together we're on fire. What I said you heard, now I got you spinning.
Don't close your mind, the words I use are open and I think that I can show you!" I started to giggle as I pathetically tried to dance again. I could hear the door being unlocked,
must be Charlie. I will have to finish singing really quickly and put the guitar away. Charlie was unaware that I had a guitar and microphone. My mom gave them to me and I never
really wanted to show them to him. He might not 'approve'. "I know where I stand, I know who I am. I would never run away when life gets bad, it's everything I see. Every part
of me, I know I can change the world, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know what you like, I know what you think. Not afraid to stare you down until you blink, it's everything I see. Every part of me, gonna get what I deserve. I got nerve!" and with
that, I ran to hide everything in my closet. I grabbed a book and pretended to study.
"Hey," said Charlie as he walked into the room. He seemed to buy that I had just been studying. After all, I do have a test tomorrow. "Okay then. I'll leave you to study…" he said.
"Actually, I just finished," I said. I was going to Edward's house soon, and I needed to pick out what to wear. I should call one of my friends for some help… "Alright then, tell me
if you need me…" and with that he left. I really wanted to sing some more, but if I did, Edward might see me singing. It is to dangerous to risk that. So, I got up and headed toward
my closet. I picked out a blue tank top with a jean skirt and red boots. I sighed, why did Alice have to give me so many articles of clothing?
Just then, the doorbell rang. "Coming!" I yelled. I began to run down the steps, but tripped over my own feet in my attempt to get downstairs. "Be careful," whispered Edward, his
voice made me cringe. He had a smooth, velvety voice, it was so nice to hear it once again. "I have to go get the door…" I stated, stupidly. "That's already taken care of. Now
come one, you don't want to be late, do you?" He asked. "Coming!"
We walked to the Cullen's house. If we ran, I would trip. "You know, Alice has been dying to see you," said Edward as they walked. "Why? So she can bring me to another mall,
my personal hell?" I inquired. He laughed. Why did he think it was funny? If he went shopping with Alice, he'd think it was torture too!
We arrived at the house. Finally! At the pace we were going at, I thought we'd never arrive! Edward lightly pushed me through the door. I shivered as his cold hands touched my
back. As I entered, I was grabbed and blindfolded. I tried to scream, but couldn't. How could Alice be so cruel? Instead, I tried a different approach. "Why this time Alice?" I
whined. "Tonight is the school talent show, and you're going to be in it!" said Alice, not even trying to hold back her excitement. "I HAVE NO TALENT!!!" I screamed. She can't
find out that I sing and play guitar. It was MY secret. Everyone knows EVERYTHING except that one secret. Everything else, the whole world is aware of! "Alright then," huffed
Alice, "you don't have to be so mean." I sighed in relief. She hadn't found out my secret YET. "You can be in an act with me!" said Alice, idea after idea, would she ever spare
me? Now that I think about it, probably not. I groaned. This was turning into a horrible day. "Don't worry, it'll be fun," encouraged Edward. "Are you doing it?" I muttered
questioningly to him. "Of course not!" he smiled. How come he always had it his way? "Umm, I have plenty of clothes that you already bought me. I really don't need anymore!" I
pleaded. "Fine," said Alice grudgingly, "we'll go to your house and pick you out something to wear.
As we arrived home, I realized in horror: my guitar and microphone were in my closet! I hadn't had time to put them away properly. I moaned. I really was an idiot. Reluctantly, I
trudged up to my room and sat on the bed. "Let's see what you have…" started Alice. She flipped through the closet for about a minute. I sat nervously on the edge of my bed.
"Now what is this?" she asked, coming out of the closet with a guitar and microphone in her hand. I immediately took them back from her. "My mom got them for me…" I rushed
to think up an excuse, "I….uhhh…..don't really use them?" I didn't sound very convincing because Edward, who had just entered the room, knew something was amuck. He
raised his eyebrow. "I've never seen that guitar before," he said. Both Alice and Edward stared intently at me, waiting for an explanation. To bad for them, they aren't going to get
one. "So," I asked, trying to distract them, "what do you want me to wear then?" They weren't distracted one bit. "Bella, do you play the guitar?" asked Alice. I sighed in defeat.
"Yes, I play the guitar, I've been playing since I was four, happy?" "Of course not," Edward snapped, trying to keep a hold of his temper, "How come you never told me?" "Well, I
never really thought it was that important," I confessed. "Can you play us a song?" asked Alice. She was probably just thinking about how it might calm down Edward, but to me it
sounded like she really wanted to hear me play. So, I began to sing as I strung my guitar like I'd been at it my entire life, well, technically I have. "When you walk away, you don't
hear me, say please, oh baby, don't go. Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go. You're giving me too many things. Lately you're all I
need. You smiled at me and said, Don't get me wrong I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father? When we are older you'll understand
what I meant when I said "No, I don't think life is quite that simple."
When you walk away, you don't hear me say, please, oh baby, don't go. Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight. It's hard to let it go. The daily things
that keep us all busy, are confusing me that's when you came to me and said, Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand. It's enough when I say so, and maybe some things are that simple. Hold me. Whatever lies beyond this morning is a little later on. Regardless
of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all. Nothing's like before."
With that I came to a pause. "So the amazing Bella can sing and play the guitar, what can't she do?" laughed a farmiliar voice. Emmet! "Yeah, she did great!" laughed another voice
alongside his. Jasper! "What is everyone doing at my house?" I groaned. Charlie is going to kill me if he knows I'm having people over without his permission.
