I am so sorry for the wait on this chapter. I just wasn't in any mood to write, and I am sorry bout that. I just really didn't know how to make this chapter really flow, and I still don't think it does very well, but I do promise next one will be better. This one is just long. Everyone was very supportive, and I thank you for helping me remember Abbi. Big thanks to Twilight's AWESOME for her very positive review. Also to BFFofCrazyShopoholicPixe-Alice, thanks for reviewing a lot

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. Wish I did. The song is A Moment Like this By Kelly Clarkson.

I woke up the next morning feeling rather… strange. I mean yesterday seemed like a lose and gain type of situation; Edward wrote and composed two beautiful songs for me. But he's going to be spending more time with Jessica. Edward and I kissed like there was no tomorrow, but he has to sing with Jessica.

Not really sure how to feel.

I rolled out of bed and put on some flip flops and headed down stairs. It was very odd not to hear Emmett being stupid or being hit at. I turned and saw something posted on the fridge; I walked over and took off the magnet. [AN. When I was in AZ my aunt did that to inform me where she was]

Bella,

The boys went to work with your dad. And I have to go make some payments and then on to a new book club I found. They should be around 1. There are Toaster Strudels in the freezer.

Mom

I looked at the clock; it was 10:00 am. I threw the note away and walked over to get my breakfast.

I looked around after I finished. What was I supposed to do in a city I hardly knew by myself? I decided not to be in a city I didn't know. I ran upstairs and took a shower; I put on regular jeans and a gray shirt with chains on the neckline. I slipped on my black ballet flats and bounced down the stairs. When I looked around for my keys, something dawned on me.

I didn't have my car.

I don't think it would be the best Idea me taking the bus to look around NY, I mean, I could end up in another town for all I knew. There were no subways in forks, and I wouldn't even see where I was headed. If I walked, I wouldn't get far- which I would have to take the bus or subway home.

Great my idea just went out the door. I walked back up stairs to my room. I heard my phone's jungle and pulled it out of my pocket and flopped onto my bed.

To Bella

Bella are you busy?

From Alice

I smiled and put no. I waited for a while but she didn't answer. Well she had I life, and it looks like sadly I didn't. I grabbed my stereos' remote and put it on the song I was working on a few nights back. A Moment Like This seamed like the perfect title- when I wrote it I had Edward in mind, but I wasn't sure if that's how I was supposed to feel just yet. I burned the CD right after I finished constructing the music on GarageBand; It didn't have my voice in it since, I don't want anyone to hear me, and if they do[with my approval] I'll sing it live. I played the whole song without my voice just to hear everything with new ears. I still liked it, thank God. I sat up when I thought I heard the door open, but then when I listened some more- I heard nothing.

I hit the repeat button on the remote, so this time I could see how it went. I went over to my desk and put it on record. [AN. I don't know if in real life it can do that, but in my story she can be walking around the room and still record fine.] I have most of my songs on my computer, but I never listen to them, call me weird but I don't think I want to hear my voice.

What if I told you it was all meant to be

Would you believe me? Would you agree?

It's almost that feeling, we've meet before

So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy when I tell you love has come here and now

A moment like this

Somepeople wait a lifetime,

For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this

Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well I maybe dreamin'
But 'till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

For a moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime…

I stopped mid-song when I heard somebody at my door. Blushing I turned around and saw Alice looking wide eyed at me.

Oh Crap.

Ok so what you think? Like it?

JOKING!! :]

"ALICE?! What are you doing here?" I asked not really sure of how I was supposed to feel at this moment.

"I stopped by because Jasper told me you've been wanting to take a tour of New York; and since I wasn't busy and neither were you, I thought today would be good. "She said without any emotion behind it, she was still staring wide eyed at me.

"Bella, why didn't you tell us you had a voice like that? I mean, that song was amazing, and your voice!" she gasped. "Wait! Bella was it you Edward heard in the music room? Not Jessica?"

I shrugged. "I honestly don't know. I mean- she's been here longer than I have so, maybe he heard her before I came here or something else." I hardly doubt that it wasn't me. As much as I cared about Edward, I couldn't bring myself to think that I could sing with him.

"But Bella, if it wasn't you, I bet you would be a better candidate to sing with Edward. I swear! Why don't you go and see?"

I shook my head so fast and so hard, that I got dizzy. "Alice, no! You have to promise me that you won't say anything about my singing to anyone! If you do, I would never talk to you again, I swear to God." I looked her straight in the eye to let her know how serious I was. She sighed and dropped her head.

"Fine, I promise. But I have a feeling that you're going to have to."

"I doubt that will happen."

"OK so I'm letting it go. For now. I was going to take you on a tour of The City That Never Sleeps."

"Its not going to be like Alice's Grand Tour at the mall is it?" if it was, I better make a break for it now.

Alice smiled a very scary smile and laughed. I backed away slowly. "I'm not saying anything." Then she grabbed my wrist and dragged in to her yellow Porsche.

* * *

I had to admit that Alice's tour really did help me get to know New York a whole lot better. We were in the car, which I assumed we were going to go back to my place. But when we past the street I looked at her in confusion.

"We are going to my house." My expression didn't change. "every Spring Break my family and I always take a quick vacation somewhere kind of close, and we are leaving tomorrow so… I thought all of us could just hang out before we have to leave."

"Oh. Where are you going to go this year?" I asked.

"Chicago. We have some family there that wants to see us for a little bit. But it's just going to be a two and a half hour ride there, not very far."

"Well I hope you guys have fun."

"Oh I doubt fun will be on the trip." She said like she knew. I tiled my head and was going to ask what she meant, but she stopped me.

"Very long story. Plus, we have arrived." I looked up and sure enough there mansion was in front of us. We got out of the car and walked inside.

"Were here!" Alice yelled when she put her keys in her purse. The guys started coming down from the stairs, Edward smiled at me when his eyes met mine.

"What were you guys doing?" Alice asked.

"Oh you know. Looking at porn and getting drunk," Was Emmett's response. I was about to call him and idiot when another voice did.

"I certainly hope that's not true."

I turned around to see an amazingly gorgeous blond standing at the door. She seemed to be 5'8' and had Green-ish blue eyes. The outfit she was wearing made her legs look like they go on for miles, and seemed to bring out the low lights in her hair. I'm pretty sure my mouth dropped at the sight. She walked over to Alice and gave her a hug, and gave some to Edward and Jasper too. I saw a flash of green when she hugged Edward a little tighter than Jasper.

"Bella, Emmett I want you to met Rosalie Hale. She's been a friend of mine since… a year ago," she laughed. "I invited Rosalie because I know she was dying to met you Bella; but I think she also found somebody else she might like to met."

Rosalie's eyes went wide with shock and then, embarrassed, put her head down.

We all laughed.

"OK, why are we all just standing here for? Let's get this show on the road!" Edward yelled. I smiled as he took my hand and we walked to his car. We had to take each of our cars, so I ended up in the back seat of Emmett's Jeep with Jasper in shotgun. Jasper was told where to go, but Emmett and I on the other hand- had no clue where we were going. After about fifteen minutes we arrived in a place that seemed to have every games teenagers want. I saw mini golf, go cart, basket ball courts, a movie theater, a park area, and in the building it said that it had laser tag, bowling, an arcade, rock climbing, and indoor sky diving.

"Wow." Emmett, jasper, and I said at the same time. The other just laughed and we headed inside.

"OK guys, so what do you guys want to do? Stick all together, or pick groups of two, or just wander off and then, whoever you meet- just play if they want?" Alice said with a very strict look.

"I like the third idea, but I really do think we should do something all together. Like at the end a game of most of the things inside here; plus a race at go carts." I suggested. Everyone seemed to like the idea.

"Yeah, I mean, we did come here to hang out, but I'm sure we want to do different things too. So how bout in… 2 hours we meet back here and let the completion begin?" Jasper said and we all nodded. Jasper and Alice ran off, and Edward pulled me toward the arcade; and I was pretty sure Emmett didn't mind staying behind alone with Rosalie.

"So where are we going? I asked. I looked up at Edward and saw that he was pulling me toward the sky diving.

Truth be told, the idea seemed awesome, but I was just too big of a chicken to even consider it trying it. Of course it wasn't actually life- threatening, like the real sky diving, but the thing was pretty much the same. Just without the danger of a parachute malfunctioning or something happening, etc.

"No Edward, why don't we go somewhere else. Like… um… the arcade?"

"Come on Bella, humor me."

I shook me head and stopped walking. Edward turned and looked at me. Then a smug smile formed at his insanely tempting lips.

"It seems I'm going to have to temper with your memory."

"Temper with my memory?" I asked nervously.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into an empty hallway. I knew that I wouldn't win if I tried to resist him so I just went along with it. Abruptly he pushed me against the wall and put both hands beside me head- he pressed his body close, so there was no escape.

"Remember that conversation we had on our last date. How I would never do anything to hurt you? That if you don't want to do something I wasn't going to pressure you into it? Well I am going to push you into doing things I'm pretty sure you'll have fun doing. Like this." As he said this his lips trailed back and forward on my neck and along my cheeks.

"And I believe you Edward." I was surprised by my own words. Sure I was going out with the guy, but I still don't know everything about him. He could have been in jail for all I know; but I knew that Edward doing something wrong was very unlikely. There was just something about him that made me feel warm and that I could trust him with everything.

"I really appreciate that, and that you have faith in me. And trust me; I'll do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen. And for that, I got you something. "He reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a small velvet box.

"Edward, I didn't say yes, just so you can buy me something."

"Bella, please, it would mean a lot to me if you kept it and wore it." I sighed and I knew that he wasn't going to budge. I took the box and opened it.

"Oh my God." Inside was and amazing looking locket; it was a silver color with flowers increased onto it, the actual flowers were made of gold. And the rose was popped out. I gasped and touched it carefully.

"Do you like it?" he looked nervous.. I shook my head, "I can always buy you something more modern. Maybe from Tiffany's or someplace that you wanted, or it doesn't ever have to be silver they can be diamonds if yo-"I cut his babbling by placing my lips on his. I put a lot of passion into it to show him that I absolutely loved it. When it was over we were both defiantly out of breath.

"Edward I love it. It couldn't be anymore perfect!" I took it out of the box and handed it to him. "Here, help me put it on." He grabbed it from my hand and unclasped the lock; pulled my hair up and felt the cool metal of the necklace around me neck. He closed the lock and placed a gentle butterfly kiss on my neck. I let me hair dropped and turned to him.

"Thank you."I doubt he could think I was lying- I tried to put everything I felt into those two words.

"Ok so, let's go pretend to jump off a helicopter." I smiled as we made our way back to the rest of the world.

* * *

About 5 hours later we all were chilling at the park thingy area just laying down on the cool grass. I had my head in Edwards lap with his feet outstretched. Alice was in jaspers arms; and Emmett and Rosalie weren't so touchy, just sitting crossed legged next to each other, but I knew they weren't only going to be just friends.

We had gone on to play everything we could- each man for themselves. The top three were the guys and the winner was either Emmett or Edward. They were both to stubborn to admit that it was a tie but they sure bragged about what they won at. Emmett with the laser tag, Edward at basket ball and so on.

"GUYS! Can you just please drop it?" Alice with a loud voice. The both rolled their eyes and kept to themselves; Edward leaned back against a tree and closed his eyes, I turned my head to get a better look at him. I swear he looked more like a Greek god or a model than just a regular teenage boy. Suddenly he opened his eyes and looked down at me.

"What?" he asked

"nothing." I knew he was about to press on the subject when a huge water droplet fell on my cheek. I reached out to wipe it away when another one fell on my forehead.

"People I think we should go." There were more people than it looked, so by the time we made it to the cars everyone was very close to being soaking wet. Emmett – being the weirdo that he is- had a bunch of towels in the trunk, and told us that he didn't wan this interior to get ruined so we had to wait out in the rain while Emmett covered his "precious" seating. While waiting I felt an arm grab my waist and pull me near, I looked up to see bright green eyes. He leaned down and kissed me, sadly it lasted shortly since he said he had Alice waiting in the car.

Finally Emmett finished whatever he was doing and told us we could go in. Jasper was driving, of course. 'Cause Em, plus heavy rain times a city he's not very familiar with divide his attentiveness equals BAD. We arrived after what seemed only a few minutes into the becoming- familiar driveway.

"Hey Jazz, can you help me put the towels out to dry?" jasper nodded and took all the towels. I managed to take the keys, and jogged up the steps. I put the key into the slot and turned it. I opened the door and took of my shoes and socks there. I turned on the lights of the living room, when I saw a person standing in the middle of it.

This day could not get better.
