Bella's POV

Shoot! Now the whole Cullen family knows!

I looked from face to face, watching their awed faces. I can't believe it. My secret is out, and only in one day!

I felt my face pale, and all of a sudden, I fainted.

I woke up to humming. It was Edward, humming my lullaby. I started to hum along.

"Bella?" he asked. "Are you okay?"

"Well, I'm alive aren't I? So I guess I'm okay," I replied. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was in my room. "What time is it? What about school?" I asked worriedly. Everyone must be worried…and…and Charlie! What about Charlie?

Edward just laughed at me. "Out of all the things you worry about, it's school. Aren't you worried about your health or anything?" He paused to laugh at me some more. I just pouted and waited for him to answer my question. "I told the nurse you fainted, so you're excused from all your classes today. I called Charlie to inform him you're with me. He seemed to be alright with it," he finally said.

"Okay then…" I said awkwardly. I didn't know what to say. I just hoped that Edward wouldn't bring up my—

Uh oh. Too late.

"Why didn't you tell me about your singing? I wouldn't have told anyone if you didn't want me to," he said, concerned.

"I…" I started, but realized that I could have just done that. Ugh. Stupid, stupid Bella! "I guess I could've done that…but still, now you're whole family knows!"

"Well, yes, but you trust us, don't you?" he asked, his eyes focusing on mine. Look away Bella, just look away…my mind was telling me. But it was no use. Whenever Edward dazzled me, my knees turned to mush. I just nodded. He just laughed quietly.

"So…can you play any other instruments?" he asked curiously, putting the force of his eyes on me. Oh no…stupid vampire dazzling skills… Before I could think, I nodded and started to walk to my closet. No Bella! Don't do it! Don't—

Too late. Again.

I pulled my guitar and music book out. I walked back to Edward and laid them on my bed. Edward glanced at them curiously then finally picked up my music book.

My music book held all my lyrics, music, and notes. Whenever it rained, I would just stay inside and play songs. If I had a sudden spark of inspiration, I would jot down music notes and work on it, trying to make it as perfect as possible. That book was and always be apart of me. Now Edward was looking into it, my music, my soul. Not that I mind or anything.

I watched him and saw that his eyes widened. I rolled my eyes. It's not that surprising! Gosh!

"Why are you so surprised? Don't go thinking that I don't know a thing about music!" I exclaimed.

"I'm not surprised actually. I'm impressed. All this time, I've been playing the piano for you when you've been the music expert. Look at these! You're as good as me! You can play for me, even!" he said. Uh oh. He's going to make me play for him. Suddenly, he looked at me, fixing is eyes onto mine.

I groaned inwardly. Ughhhh…not again…

"I guess I could play for you, " I sighed. He grinned and gave me my guitar. Once I held it in place, I felt like I was home…really home. I took my guitar pick from it's place between the strings. I randomly plucked strings and then I settled on a song called "Heavily Broken" by The Veronicas. Closing my eyes, I began to sing:

Everyday I sit here waiting
Everyday just seems so long
And now I've had enough of all the hating
Do we even care, it's so unfair
Any day it'll all be over
Everyday there's nothing new
And I'll just try to find some hope
To try and hold onto
But it starts again, it'll never end


I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do


Almost giving up on trying
Almost heading for a fall
And now my mind is screaming out
I've gotta keep on fighting
But then again, it doesn't end


I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do

Feels like I'm drowning
I'm screaming for air
Louder I'm crying
And you don't even care

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken

I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken
I'm heavily broken
I'm heavily broken

I strummed the last chords and opened my eyes. Again, Edward was looking at me in shock. I smiled. "Can't you play the guitar?" I was expecting a yes. I mean, Edward was perfect at everything! If he couldn't, I would be surprised.

Edward looked away, then looked back at me. "Um…no…" he said quietly. My jaw dropped. The all perfect, handsome, and amazingly strong vampire, Edward Cullen, can't play the guitar!

Wow.

I was still gaping when he started to laugh unexpectedly. This caused me to snap out of my daze.

"What's so funny?" I asked. He didn't answer. Instead, he began to laugh harder. I sighed. This could take a while.

Finally, he stopped laughing. Well, almost. He was still chuckling. "The…the look on your face!" Edward smiled then sighed. "I'll never forget that look." I started to blush.

"O-kay…anyway, I—" I was interrupted by the phone. I looked at Edward. Usually, he would tell me who was calling. He could read minds, after all. But apparently, he didn't know the caller. Edward's face was covered in confusion. I got up from the bed and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Bella?" It took me a few minutes to recognize the voice. Then I thought: Rachel.

Rachel was my music partner. And cousin.We were sort of a duet. And we were a two-person band. I played guitar, violin, or piano, she'd play guitar, flute, or drums. Ever since I left Phoenix, we kept writing each other. I had just noticed that she hadn't wrote me in five months. I wonder what happened.

"Rachel! How are you?" I replied, suddenly hyped.

She laughed. "I'm wonderful! But I, uh, called to ask...if I could…stay with you for a couple of days…or months…" she said steadily.

"Of course you can! But what's with the sudden call? You haven't written me in five months! Is everything okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Um…Can I explain once I get there? It's urgent. Bella, I've got something to tell you…" she trailed off. Then I heard the click of the phone before she hung up. I looked down at the phone in my hands and started to worry even more.

Then I heard the doorbell.


Um...sorry if it seems rushed. I tend to do that a lot. But hey, if I get a story out of it, then so be it. I'm not that good of a writer...hopefully I will improve though.

And sorry it's so short! But that last line seemed like a good way to end it. Btw, I'll update soon. D I'm almost out of schooool! YEAHHHHH! okay, so how was it?

REVIEW PLEASE!
