I'll Walk
Ok so I listen to this song, I'll walk by Bucky Covingtion, all the time, and I get this story out of my head. This is my first fanfic so go easy on me. I'm going to try and make this story good. I'm rating it M just to be safe. I don't know if I can be brave and try writing lemons. All of them are a little OOC but they kind of get back into character. Therefore, I hope you enjoy the story. Oh, I forgot to mention a lot of this story is going to be flashbacks. It's the way I envisioned it. So please again go easy on me

Remember when
BPOV
Edward and the family had dragged me out to one of the open mic night. I had a lot of stuff to do at home. But I did agree to come out tonight. I actually promised my brother, Jasper that if this guy, Bucky something another ever came to Seattle, I would go see him with him. How convenient the next weekend wham he is in town. I swear his little pixie wife of his, which is one of my best friend, Alice had this planned. She watches American Idol and every since then she has followed him. It's really hilarious. Jasper really isn't my brother, he is adopted. Charlie, my dad, took him in after his parents passed away. He was about eight when it happened been with us ever since. We lived in Arizona up until our first year of high school. Then we moved to Forks, Washington after my mom and dad got divorced. Now we all live in Seattle. We have come a long way. Especially since that faithful day. The first day we both set foot on Forks High School.
Flashback to the first day
"C'mon Bella we are going to be late if you don't hurry up. You know that old raggedy truck you have will make us later than ever." Jasper was yelling down at the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm coming now sorry. Mom sent an email wondering where we were, why we haven't written and if we are tired of the rain yet to come back to her" I told him coming down the stairs.
"I can't believe you forgave her. All the stuff she put Dad through, I mean I know he isn't my real dad but he is close enough. I just can't get over it." As he said this, he was pushing me out the door and into the passenger side of my truck. My truck!! He thinks he can get it to go faster but he can't. So the joke is on him.
He is upset with Renee, our mom. During her marriage to my dad, she met someone else and fell in love. Now I know what you are thinking. She cheated on him. No she didn't. She never kissed or went to bed with him. She did go to dinner but one can argue that was cheating but it was not cheating. It could be just dinner between two friends. Nevertheless, their "relationship" got too hard on them to where they did want the physical things. Renee refused to cheat though. So one day my dad came home from work and her stuff was gone. All she left was a note. It tore my dad up and when he decided to leave, so we left too. That tore my mom up.
"So Jazz, what do you think this school is going to be like? I hope we have some classes together." I was nervous. I hated moving. I really didn't care it was leaving my mom behind. Jasper was the only friend I had there so it didn't really matter that I left. This year was a new year, new school and a new group of kids. I hope it was going to be good.
"I don't know Bells, I hope it is an easy move for us. I'm kind of worried myself." We were pulling to the parking lot by now. Some of the cars were worse off and mine was older. That was saying something. A Volvo stood out, out of all the cars.
Jasper and I walked into the office where this nice older woman Mrs. Cope helped get our paper work done and gave us our schedule. We compared our schedules; we had English, World history and biology together. English was our first class so as we walked down the hall all eyes where on us. I hate attention and so my face stayed a permanent red colored. Jasper laughed the entire time.
We got into the classroom and took the paper that had to needed signed to the teacher. We were one of the first ones in the classroom, so the teacher sat us beside each other. I was silently praying that she didn't make us introduce ourselves. Did I mention I hate attention? Other people started to come into the room staring as they went. And that when we first saw them. Three of the most beautiful well dressed people I have ever seen. The first one of the group was this short pixie like girl with black hair about shoulder length hair. She was wearing some designer clothes. I couldn't tell you who cause just like cars I don't speak clothes. I only know jeans and t-shirt language. Then next was a blonde girl that looked like she could be a model. She was always wearing some kind of clothes I couldn't speak. It was cute. Both of them can make a girl feel inadequate. Before I looked at the last person, I glanced back at Jasper. He was watching the girls. I wasn't too sure which one caught his eye, but one of them did.
I looked back them and saw the last one fully in the door. He was this big muscular person. He had curly brown hair. He was quite intimidating. Before I knew it, Jasper was kicking my chair.
"Huh what? Sorry I wasn't paying attention." I feel my face heat up as the class laughed.
"I was introducing myself and was wondering since you and your brother were new if you two would like to stand up and tell us a little about yourself." I still didn't know the teachers name.
"Uh sure." I stood up along with Jasper and started to walk to the front of the room. I do believe God was getting even with me for some reason because the next thing I know I tripped. I was waiting for the impact of the floor but it never came. I felt two arms around me. I looked to see who my savior was. I, once again, felt the heat in my cheeks as I realized it was the curly brown-haired boy. He looked at me and smiled.
"Well it looks like you need to be careful there pretty girl. We don't need to introduce to the local hospital so soon now do we?" he said in a teasing tone. I heard everyone chuckled. I couldn't talk so I just nodded my head no. As I walked away I said, "yeah you don't know me very well before the day is up I will be known at the ER."
I looked back and smiled.
I stood up at the front of the class as Jasper and I introduced ourselves. Of course, the teacher calling up siblings and then us having different names cause some confusion. So we explained as much as we could without going into details about how we became brother and sister. The class ended and Jasper walked me to my next class, which was math. We said our goodbyes and we would see each other next class.
This class was boring. Three girls talked to me, I think their names were Jessica, Lauren, and Angela. Angela was nice to me but the other two seemed stuck up and was only keeping up an appearance of befriending the new people first. You know whom I'm talking about, those people who get the newbies to trust them and spill their whole life story out to them. Then the next couple of weeks the school knows all about you. Well I hate to tell them I'm not falling for that. The class seemed to drag on finally the bell rung and when I walked outside Jasper was there waiting on me.
"So you gonna make me bring it up or you just gonna stay smitten?" I said jokingly to Jasper.
"What are you talking about Bells?"
"Which girl is it? The blonde or the black haired one? I know you couldn't stop staring at one of them, so which one?"
He started to laugh and went to go deny it but I gave him this all-knowing look. He sighed, "The black-haired one. She reminds me of a pixie type person, like Tinkerbell."
I tried to hold in my laughter as we crossed into our world history. "I knew it. Why try to lie to me? I know you better than you know yourself."
"I know. I don't know why I try. I guess I hope one day I will get passed you. But you're the open book." I could swear I saw him smirk at me.
"Yeah, I know." As I rounded the corner, I bumped into something hard and brick wall like. I was about to fall flat on my butt but I felt the same arms around my waist holding me up. I closed my eyes and prayed to God it was Jasper and not that guy. But as soon as I heard him chuckle I knew it wasn't Jasper.
"You know I'm going have to start charging you if this is going to become habit. I feel like a bodyguard."
This time I couldn't speak, I just backed up into Jasper and he spoke for me.
"Yeah trust me. I've been with her my whole life and I feel like I need back pay for all the times I've saved her. Back home the doctors and the nurses knew her by name. We didn't even have to sign in at the front."
"Oh is that true? Well I'll alert Alice's dad, Dr. Cullen then. I'm Emmett McCarty by the way." He stuck his hand out to Jasper. Jasper shook it while saying, "Jasper Whitlock and this klutz is Bella Swan, my sister.
Finally annoyed with the teasing I huffed and said excuse me and walked inside the classroom to take a seat. I heard them laughing and start talking as I did this. A few minutes later I heard the chairs around me move.
"If you are just going to keep teasing I'd rather you not talk to me."
"Sorry about him. Sometimes I can rein in him and sometimes I can't. If you got to know if you would find out if was nothing but a big teddy bear."
I turned to look to see who was talking to me and my mouth popped open. It was the gorgeous blond. I couldn't figure out why she was sitting her talking to me. I mean sitting next to her, I felt so inadequate. She smiled and said, "I'm Rosalie. And that big bear is my boyfriend."
It triggered in my head she was waiting for my response. "Hey I'm Bella and the guy that your boyfriend is talking to in my brother Jasper."
"Emmett and he seem to be getting along well. That means the duo has probably just became a trio." She laughed as the black-haired girl came to sit down.
"What's so funny? Hi, I'm Alice. Your brother is so cute. Please tell me he is single."
I chuckle at the irony. "Yeah he is single. And I do have to say I think he was quite smitten with you too. So go easy with him ok?"
She just smiled at me and winked. She couldn't respond because the boys were beside us. Jasper came to sit beside me. During the class, Alice threw a piece of paper at him, which hit me in the head. I laughed as she mouthed sorry. I handed it to him and shrugged me shoulders as if I didn't know what was going on. On the piece of paper, it had Alice's name, phone, and a note about some party and we were invited. He looked at me with a surprised look. I just smile and went about my business. During class, we all couldn't help but laugh at Jasper because he was the history buff; he was so fascinated in the class. When class ended, we found out we were all in biology together. So we all walked to class together. I found out that Alice had a twin brother.
When we walked into the classroom, I was disappointed I couldn't sit by any of my new friends or Jasper. Mr. Banner, the teacher, had me sit at an empty table. So I sat there drawing around on piece of paper. Apparently, this paper was really interesting I didn't even realize someone was sitting beside until I heard his velvety voice talk.
"That's uh a nice drawing you have there. What are you trying to accomplish?"
I was so startled by the voice I looked up and was shocked by the most stunning green eyes I've ever seen.
The same green eyes were bringing out of this flashback. I looked at him and smiled, took my drink that he was trying to hand me.
"Babe, what was you thinking about that had you in a trance like that?"
I laughed and said, "Oh you know the first time I met you. So what is the deal for tonight? How does this thing work?"
"Well this guy Jazz wants to see doesn't sing until last. This is more of a talent show type thing. He wants to find opening act to go on tour with him. Also they want new songs." Alice informed me jumping up and down.
"So basically we are going to listen to a bunch of people who think they have talent, when they really don't? Ok, I need to be drunk for this."
They all laughed at this. Edward was being particularly quietly this evening. When we have a have I'm gonna have to ask him what's going on but right now the first performer is coming on stage.
This little petite blonde girl got up onstage. (We are going to pretend she is Carrie Underwood but of course, Bella didn't hear her name because of the inner monologue.) You could already tell she was nervous. I wish I had heard her name. She is a cute girl. She started to talk about the song.
"A friend and I wrote this song when we both at the time were going thru a bad break-up. And after a few months of grieving, we both tried to move on. Then all of sudden it was like they had it planned they called up and tried to get back together. The song is called I told you so.
Suppose I called you up tonight
And I told you that I love you
And suppose I said I said I want you to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally
Learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart into again
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would you get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell that you miss me too
And that you've been so lonely.
And that you've waited for the day I return
And We'd live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say that the table's has
Finally turn
And would you say
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart into again
When the song ended, I know our whole table clapped and cheered like crazy. At first, we were stunned by her voice. She was so good. Right then Edward turned to me. He looked kind of worried and nervous.
"Edward, what is it?"
"Bella we need to talk."
