Title: Edward and Bella's Infinite Playlist.
Summary: Edward is this 22 year old college hipster who is in this famous underground alternative rock band, No Blood No Foul. He's your average party guy, who smokes, gets high, gets drunk and sleeps with his groupies after his midnight shows. He then falls heads over heels for Bella, an innocent 17 year old girl who just so happens to fall on top of him during a train a ride. They share an interest in music and movies, but will Bella still fall for him and his experienced ways?
Not that it would make a difference, since Edward is still going to follow her and do what it takes to make her his.
Rating: M for strong language, adult content, and future lemons.
A/N: This isn't the same plot as the movie nor do the characters act like Nick and Nora--this is just a story inspired by the movie, that I happen to really enjoy.
WARNING: Grammatical and spelling errors--sorry.

*This is 42nd st…transfer is available to the 1 train. Next stop is 72nd st…stand clear of closing doors please.*
I wanna be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever and I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuck loads of diamonds
I heard people dying while their trying to find them
I'll take my clothes of and it'll be shameless
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track and I'm on to a winner.
It was the early afternoon and I was in the 2 train, on my way to my house. I was in my uniform, coming from school--we had a half day so I was going to have plenty of time to go home and change before going to work. Which was good so I can also have some time to relax and make myself something to eat.
At the moment I was taking out my ipod while trying to avoid any eye contact with the group of tourists in front of me. I could feel the little girl staring up at me, while her relative watched every sudden move I made. This was one of the things I despised of subways--the close space and awkward stares. But then again I had to get used to it, I have been riding them ever since I was four.
I was use to the experience…the people averting eye contact while the train made it's jerky side to side jolts, and up and down bumps. Having to put up with the different funky kind of smells and sitting on the sticky sometimes even wet seats. Which is why I much preferred to remain standing up while holding on to the pole, even if that meant having to bump into people…
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it'll all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear.
Once I put on my earphones I quickly scrolled all the way down to Family Force 5. I loved that group and their songs always hyped me up. And I needed something to pump me up since I still felt tired from the long day today. I put on my favorite song and decided to close my eyes so I could lose myself for the next ten minutes.

"Ugh, finally our train is coming" Emmett said while taking Rosalie by the hand and taking a few steps back.
I got up from the bench and started to stretch. We had been waiting for the stupid 2 train for nearly twenty minutes, supposedly their was a fire in 72nd so we had to wait even longer--being their was already delay before that.
I was with my friends, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie--we were on our way to the Bronx to some guy's place…we had to pick up some stuff for our gig, which was on Friday. But from the way things were looking now, I doubted that he would still be there since we were suppose to show up like at 1pm. It was already 2pm.
After the train made it's stop, and the passengers go out--everyone quickly pushed themselves in. The train was quickly packed, and I was pushed all the way to corner. Good thing I found myself an empty seat next to a group of tourists, and it was awesome that there weren't any girls around. I wouldn't have to give up my seat.
Not that I had to, but I always felt it was necessary to always give the seat to a lady--and not only to older women or pregnant women--but little girls and even teenagers. That's just how I roll.
I couldn't see none of my friends, they must have been dragged to other isolated spots. So I decided to take out my iphone and listen to some music. Once putting on my ear phones and scrolling down to listen to some old 70's rock, I leaned my head back and relaxed.
A while after I felt someone bump my knee and I looked up to see a gorgeous girl right in front of me. She probably didn't even realized it.
I smiled in response. I wanted to ask her if she wanted to sit but she had her ear phones as well--so she might not hear me. And I wasn't sure if I should just tap her elbow or poke her…I would only seem like a creepy loser or something.
I cleared my throat, but that only caught the attention of some random guy next to me, wearing a bright green I love New York shirt with a Statue of Liberty crown on his head. I ignored him and glanced back up to the girl….
She was really gorgeous.
She had a dark brown hair that was up in a messy bun. She also had sexy full lips which reminded me a lot of Scarlet Johansson. Except this girl's upper lip was larger than average--which was strange but it still gave her some character. Plus she had beautiful creamy pale skin and it looked lovely against her dark blue sweater. Which she wore on top of what seemed like a school uniform. This must mean that she attends a Catholic school or something…
Nice…
I wonder how old she is…maybe 16...hopefully 18. Not like it would make any difference since there was no way I could get to know her. It was packed, and she was obviously into her music right now. Her eyes were closed and she was subconsciously tapping her fingers on the pole…feeling the music.
I decided to pause the Stones, and focus on what she was listening to…
Luv Addict…
Wow, so she liked Family Force 5.…hot. I wasn't a big fan of them but I have seen them live once during the Warped Tour…She must have really enjoyed her songs.. I liked that.

I opened my eyes, and quickly checked to see if I missed my stop. It was still moving and I could tell by the white graffiti walls that it was almost coming. So I turned off my ipod and took my earphones off. I could hear a man playing a familiar tune in his guitar.
"How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail….
before she sleeps in the sand?"
I couldn't see him but I was sure that it was the same old guy with the harmonica. He was always singing Blowing in the Wind, while making that annoying Bob Dylan voice.
I held back a smile and started to wrap the earphones around my black ipod. I tried not to laugh since a few passengers were groaning, and some preteens were even asking him to stop. I couldn't blame them though, this cart was too crowded and uncomfortable for him to just squeeze himself while trying fit that huge acoustic guitar.
I began to take my keys out of my tote bag so I could put them in my pockets and when I glanced down, I noticed a guy laughing to himself as well. And he was hot. Like really, really cute. He was kind of pale and his skin looked really soft and smooth. He had strange brownish red hair…which was all over his face, it looked like if he just had just finished having sex or something.
Whoa...
I slowly glanced down again, trying my best to not make it obvious that I was checking him out. He was wearing a black fitted sweater over a plain white t shit. He kind of reminded me those hipsters or something.
Dressed effortlessly yet stylish…
He then suddenly looked up to me and caught me staring right at me. I quickly looked away and tried to focus on the WWE advertisement right above me.
Maria…MVP…Umanga…Undertaker…
Those were the popular wrestlers on the poster… each smiling while trying to appear tough. It reminded me of Jacob, how he would at times force me to play with him…with his stupid PS3 and violent video games.
Ugh.
I glanced back down, hoping he wasn't noticing me, but unfortunately he was--and this time I didn't look away. We locked eyes and he slowly smiled up at me…
This caught me off guard and I just froze, not sure if I should smile as well or just look away. He seemed kind of confident, I mean what would give him the idea that I was interested in him? Besides if I return the smile, I might make myself look like a fool. I mean it wasn't even looking my best. My hair was greasy, I was on my period, and I had a break out all over my chin. Plus I was in my uniform which only made me look like a geek.
Great
I nervously began to chew on my bottom lip when right that second the train pulled into a stop--which caused a whole bunch of people to lose their balance.
Including me…
Before I knew it, I was only a few inches away from him…my body right between his legs…his hands resting on my hips…my hands on his shoulders…while some goofy looking guy next to him tried to help me up.
"I'm so sorry" I kept saying, as I got up. His hands were still on my hips, supporting me in case I lost my balance again.
"Thank you" I began to say while feeling my face completely flush.
I could feel people staring at me, some were murmuring in Spanish, some in Dutch and some in Cantonese.
"Was für ein ungeschicktes kleines Mädchen" A round lady began to say to me while holding back a smile. I had no idea what she just told me, or asked but I only nodded.
"You sure you okay?" The hot guy asked, looking up at me--he seemed amused.
But I only nodded and glanced over to the door a few feet away from me. I quickly ran out, not once looking back.
I was mortified.

As soon the strange girl left I noticed Emmett and Alice staring at me. Emmett was laughing his off while Alice whispered something to Jasper.
I rolled my eyes while avoiding the stares of the other people around me too. But I noticed one guy smiling at me from the corner of my eye. I glanced over to him and he began to nod.
"Muchacha linda, verdas?"
I laughed in response while nodding. "Si" I said, already understanding what he told me.
Suddenly I felt something poking my mid thigh, I looked down and noticed some keys traveling under my butt. I quickly took it and stared at the key chains. There was small pink bear with bloody claws and another small heart shape key chain which said Virgo in the back.
I couldn't believe it, she must have dropped her keys when she fell on top of me. Oh fuck. How would she get home? It's too late to go after her--which I would definitely do, I didn't care. But the doors were already closed…
She was gone.
a/n #2: [Incase you didn't know] In New York, it is totally normal for random people to show up and entertain the passengers in the stations or train rided--in exchange for tips. Also if your wondering, the pink, bloody bear is a well known Japanese character--like Hello Kitty. And his name is Gloomy--he eats people.
Translations--
Was für ein ungeschicktes kleines Mädchenn= I think I wrote "what an awkward little girl" If I'm wrong, which I'm pretty sure I am--please let me know.
Muchacha linda, verdas = "Cute girl, eh"
