BPOV
When we got back to the house Emmet went straight to bed. So did dad. But I knew that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep. I am not one of those people who just put their head down on a pillow and fall dead asleep. It takes me a long while to sleep. So I fixed myself some breakfast, then after I ate I went to my music room in the basement. To my piano.
When I got down I sat right on my piano. I started to play Amazing Grace, because it is one of my favorites. I sang along as I played. This song always helped to calm me down when I was little. My mom used to sing it to me all the time. Her mother's name was Grace.
Then I played Bad Day by David Powter. I love this song. After I played that I decided to write a new song, so I grabbed my sheet music and started to write.
While I have been writing I heard heavy footsteps by the door and someone then sitting as I am playing. It is either Emmett or my dad. Most likely Emmett.
It has been at least an hour now, I am finally finished with my song. It is sort of sad in a way. I don't know why it is, it just came to me that way. It is called "I'll remember You (By No Secrets).
It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
hoping they will never change
cause what we had can't be replaced
don't let our memories fade away
keep me in your heart for always
You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
stood right by me
through the tears through everything
I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what you're goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
Even though we go seprate ways
You made me believe
that I can do almost anything
You stood right by me
through the tears through everything
I'll remember yooooou,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for yooooou,
no matter what your goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
If the day should come when you need someone
(you know that i'll follow)
I will be there
Don't ever let there
be a doubt in your mind
'cause I'll remember you, you
I'll remember you,
and baby that's forever true
you're the one that I'll always miss
never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
no matter what your goin' through
in my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
Forever baby, I'll remember you
I wasn't exactly sure who I had written it about, but I knew it had some meaning to someone I knew or was going to know.
EMPOV.
Bella is here. Finally. I have missed her piano playing so much. I know she gave dad a cd of her piano music, but I can't help but miss the real thing.
I know I make it seem like I can't stand her, but she is the only reason why I actually try for something. I am planning on going to the same college as her so that I can see her and make sure my baby sister is okay. I won't tell her that, but I will still do it.
My family is the only thing I have. My mom and I talk to each other all the time, though no one knows about that at all. I call her every night to see how she and Bella are doing. I know she is still in love with my dad. And I know my dad is still in love with her. He hasn't dated or even talked to another woman with emotion. He loves her. He was an idiot to even think about leaving her at all. But he wanted things, she wanted things. It was stupid. But now that my dad has everything he ever dreamed of, he wants what he had before. Now he can't have that.
I here the piano playing as I am laying in my bed. I try to go downstairs as quietly as I can. I go into the kitchen to get something to eat which is right next to the basement doors. I hear Amazing Grace playing. She really loves that song. I don't know why she does but she finds it so interesting. I like it to but I think it is to old fashion for me.
The song ends and then she plays Bad Day. That is one of my favorite songs of all times, especially when it is played by Alvin and The Chipmunks. Best movie ever.
I know after two songs that she is going to begin writing a new song. She always does. She always mends the two together somehow. It works.
I listen as she sings. It is so beautiful, and is exactly what I would do for her. Always there for her when she needs someone. I'll never forget her ever. I love her to much to forget her. She is so fragile and tiny and breakable. She is so innocent. So lucky.
Her song ends. She starts to play another. I know the song well. She wrote this when we were about 13. She worked hard on the piece. She wrote it for mom's birthday. It is called Courage Is...(A/N: It is by The Starnge Family).
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway,
You keep on living anyway
It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway
You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway
I sat there listening, and then I heard someone coming down the stairs and I saw my dad.
He looked at me then at the door to the basement and then back at me. He nodded and smiled.
"Couldn't sleep?" He said it as a question but it sounded more like a fact.
I nodded, "You niether?"
He nodded, "I can't sleep knowing the fact that she is here." He siad it more to himself then to me. I know how much he loves Bella. For some reason me, my mom, and my dad, all live for one reason mostly. And that's Bella. I don't know what it is that makes her so special. Her good heart, the way she forgives people so easily for stupid mistakes they have made, her talent with music, or how tiny and frail she is.
I looked at my dad when I heard a sniffle. He was crying.
I was shocked. He looked up at me then turned away and grabbed the phone from the counter and ran back upstairs. I followed in suit once I heard Bella close up the piano.
I didn't want to be caught.

I heard loud footsteps on the stairs going up. As I went upstairs I looked at the clock. 9:30 AM. Wow time goes by.
I heard someone on the phone upstairs and assumed it was my father making a business call. Figures. He is always working. I regreted the thought once I thought it. My father is only trying to make a living. It shouldn't bother me. So why does it?
I turned on the TV to the news channel, even though I never watch TV. As I did I heard footsteps coming on down from upstairs. I knew it was Emmet once I heard the fake yawn.
"Hearthrob sensation Edward Cullen has stated that he is taking a break from the rockstar life and is settling down in a small succluded place where he can relax and be a teenager. 'I want to experience what every other teenager experiences, even if it means waking up at 7 in the morning.' Said Edward to the reporter who was talking with him.
What everyone wants to know, is where does he plan on going?"
I changed the channel. I could care less what this idiot of a star did. I bet he can't even sing, that he has it produced. Again I felt guilty for thinking this. He seemed like a nice guy (NOT) even if he had multiple girlfriends and his father was a former singer on top of that and his mother was a former model, but whatever. I turned to see Emmet laughing.
I raise my eyebrow, "What are you laughing about?"
He shook his head, "I can't believe he is actually doing it."
I looked at him confused, "Whose doing what?"
He looked up at me as if finally realizing that I was standing there in front of him. "Edward, he is actually going to go to high school for his senior year."
I looked at him kind of shocked, "You know Edward Cullen?"
He rolled his eyes, "Yes and no I'm not getting an autograph of him for you."
I wrinkled my nose, "Ew no! Why would I want an autograph from a manwhore." And then I slapped my hand over my mouth once I heard what I had said to Emmet, for all I know they could be best friends, I looked at Emmet, "I am so sorry, I didnt mean it like that. I-"
He laughed. "Nah, Bella it's the truth, now if only someone could say that tohis face and then we will be in progress. I really wish that guy would settle down with girls. I mean he thinks that these girls actually care about it him but they are all just using him for his fame. " He shook is head with a frown on his face.
I felt bad for my thought before about him. " That must really stink not knowing the truth just because you are famous and people observe you differently than others."
Emmet laughed again, "Don't feel too bad, the only reason why Edward is going to a school is because he totaled his car and was all over the news for being in a video drinking. He is living with his aunt and uncle somewhere in Washington ironiclly enough." He kept talking not really realizing what he was saying then his face went hard when he noticed me again, "Don't go off telling the papparazzzi about this."
I rolled my eyes at him, so typical of him not to trust me, "Yeah right like I know any papparizzi. Geez Emmet think before you say." I said in my most sarcastic voice. He rolled his eyes at me.
I heard footsteps coming down the stairs againn and looked up to see it was my dad.
I looked at both me and Emmett and smiled. "I got a suprise for both of you. Meet me in the living room in five minutes." He said rushing off into the bathroom I assume.I laughed on the inside wondering how he didn't notice that we were already in the living room.
I went to the book self and waited for my dad to come back to tell us the suprise.
A/N: How is it? Please do review if you dare lol.
