I know. I'm bad... I haven't update this story for so long. The thing is, I'm maintaining an order: First Finding True Love, then this, then We'll Face It Together.
Anyway, thanks for the awesome reviews. I dont think this chapter is very good, but I wanted to update.
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
We thought Emmett was going to end there. He stopped to take a breath Alice started clapping wearily. We were all sitting on Alice's balcony, after the party. Then he continued to sing while all of us, Rosalie included, winced.
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start
Oh, But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
We all started clapping before Emmett could start the bridge of the song. He looked surprised, probably because he was intending to sing the song fully.
Rosalie, for whom he was singing for, wiped the tears from her eyes and gave him a hug while Alice and I exchanged a glance and "awed".
"Why did you stop me?" Emmett asked. "I would have finished the song."
"Well someone had to stop you before our eardrums broke." Jasper said with a perfectly straight face.
Emmett narrowed his eyes. "Well what song would you sing for Alice?" he challenged. Alice also looked at him, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Jasper got down on his knees in front of Alice, and started singing.
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
And I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
I give you my empathy
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs
I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Alice stood shocked for a minute before attacking him with kisses. They stood up, laughing.
"What song will you sing when you fall in love, Edward?" Rose asked him.
"That," he replied, leaning back into his chair. "Is a secret."
"Oh come one Edward," I said. "Can't you tell us?"
"Fine." He sighed. He sat straight in his chair and looked around at us.
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live
"Wow," I said. Edward had a great voice. It was melodious and sounded like velvet.
"That isn't such a huge secret," Alice said.
"Yes, but I was planning on singing that for my special girl." He replied. Then he glanced at his watch. "Okay, it's late, I need to go. Do you need a ride Bella?"
"No thanks," I replied, smiling up at him. "I'm staying over."
"Okay," he said. "Are you coming over tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"Okay, bye guys."
He, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper left. Alice and I were really tired, so we fell asleep as soon as we hit the bed.
The next day I was at Edward's house by 11. We were sitting on the floor of his living room and playing monopoly, which was although a childish game, one that we loved to play, when Esme and Carlisle walked in.
They waved at us, and we waved back, which was usual, but then they sat down. That was unusual. Edward switched off Linkin Park which was blaring from the sound system.
"What happened?" Edward asked his parents, frowning at them.
"Well, we actually wanted to speak with you about something," Esme replied. She exchanged a glance with Carlisle who gave her an encouraging nod. "We don't want to discourage your friendship or anything, but we just wanted to know… Are you both going out?"
I glanced at Edward, shocked. His expression mirrored mine. "Going out?" I choked out. "What gave you that impression?"
"Well both of you are always together, in your own world." Carlisle said.
"Well we're not going out," Edward confirmed. "We're best friends."
"Okay, but don't you think your future girlfriend, or in your case Bella, future boyfriend, will have a problem with your friendship?" Esme asked. "You both are so close that your friends, parents, everyone think your going out. Don't you think that could ruin your future relationships?"
We looked at each other again. "Don't be disheartened by this," Carlisle added quickly. "You both will always be best friends, no matter what."
They left us in silence, both of us staring at each other. We had never thought in that direction. Truthfully, I had never thought of having a relationship. I never thought of any boys, other than Edward, Jasper and Emmett, and they were just my friends.
"What do we do know?" Edward asked quietly. "I don't want to ruin your chances of having a boyfriend."
"And I don't want to ruin your chance of having a girlfriend," I said.
"Let's ask the gang," he decided. We called them, and decided to meet at Alice's house again.
Once everyone was there, we explained the problem to them. They sat in silence for a few minutes. "
"That's… You're stuck in a bad situation, man." Emmett said, slapping Edward on his back.
He shrugged him off. "I know."
"I have an idea!" Jasper exclaimed, sitting up.
"What?" I asked, brightening instantly.
"Look, if you found a girl for Edward, and he found a boy for you, then what problem would they have with your friendship?"
I bit my lip, thinking of the possibility. Then I grinned, along with everyone else.
"Jasper," she kissed him. "You're a genius." He turned a little red.
"That means…" Alice said. "We're going to a club tonight!"
Songs used:

BTW, what happens in this chapter foreshawdows what will happen later. It's quite obvious.
If I dont update for a long time, its because I have exams till the 31st. And then I'll be happy that its over, and hanging out with friends, and neglecting my stories. But I'll try to update soon.
Oh yeah, in this story, all of them are seniors. Just letting you know.
