Chapter 6
EPOV
Once Bella and I got back to the party everything went smoothly. It turns out that Alice and Rose went and found Tanya and they yelled at her for about ten minutes that made Tanya leave in embarrassment. Bella and I started dancing to the music and went swimming more. We were still on the beach after the sun had set and Bella and I were watching the stars.
"Look!" my love called, "A shooting star!"
"Make a wish, love." I replied.
She closed her eyes and wished on that star.
"What did you wish for." I asked.
"I can't tell you." She giggled.
I started humming a song that Bella wrote before her wedding. It was about our friendship. To my surprise she started singing it.
"She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my my
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do and I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my..."
"You still remember the words?" I was amazed.
"Yeah. I never forget my songs!" This was true. Bella is an amazing songwriter and has a great voice. Her talent at the guitar is amazing.
"I've been working on a new song, called Love Story." She said simply.
"That's great, Bells." I said. I couldn't wait to hear it.
"EDWARD! BELLS! LET'S GO!" Emmett yelled at us.
"Coming!" Bella yelled back. She grabbed my hand and helped me get up. I went to kiss her but she ran away.
"Bella! Get back here!" I yelled laughing.
"You have to catch me!" she ran over to Emmett. "Hide me Em!" she giggled.
Emmett picked her up. "Here you go dude." He said handing her over.
"EM! NOO!" she laughed. She struggled against his strong arms. "Don't!" but it was too late. I already had her thrown over my shoulder. "Edward! Put me down NOW!"
"What is that? I can't hear you." I chuckled.
"C'mon please?" She asked in my sweetest voice.
"How can I say no to that?" I asked, defeated. I put her down.
We got in the jeep and drove home. It was a two-hour drive back to Forks. About a half hour into the ride home Bella leaned over and rested her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. When we got back to the girls' apartment I carried Bella up to her room. I laid her down on her bed. I didn't want to leave her so I decided to stay the night.

"I love you Bells," Jacob softly whispered in my ear. Our Song was playing in the background.
"I love you too Jake," I replied. Then everything passed in a blur and I was standing at the doors ready to get married to my fiancé, Jake.
"You nervous?" Edward asked me.
"Just a little."
"Don't be, you look beautiful." I just blushed and looked down.
"Thanks Edward, for everything you've helped me with while getting ready for the wedding." I said.
"You don't have to thank me, that's what best friends are for." He smiled my favorite smile.
The next thing I knew I was at the alter.
"Do you, Isabella Swan, take Jacob Black to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold in sickness and health, through rich and poor?"
"I do," I said softly.
"Do you, Jacob Black, take Isabella Swan to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, through sickness and health, through rich and poor?"
After a couple of long seconds past Jacob finally answered.
"Bells, I'm sorry but I can't do it." Then he walked off.
The room started spinning. I felt like I was dying.
"Bella!" I heard Edward calling. I wanted to respond but my mouth wasn't working. Now I felt some shaking.
"Bella, c'mon, Bella wake up!" Edward yelled. "Bella!"
I shot up into a sitting position, shaking and tears coming down my face.
"W-what happened?" I asked.
"Bella, you were having a nightmare." Edward said he looked worried.
"I-I'm fine, j-just give me a minute." I said taking deep breaths trying to calm myself. Edward just held me in his arms and waited for me to stop crying. After a couple of minutes I calmed down.
"Would you like me to sing you to sleep?" Edward said with a smile.
"If you want to," I replied smiling a goofy grin.
Edward started humming a tune that I didn't recognize. Lying in Edward's arms I fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
The next morning I woke up to a sleeping Edward. I carefully climbed out of his arms and went to grab my guitar. I went in the bathroom so I wouldn't disturb Edward and closed the door. I started singing a song that I had recently written.
"I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.(my dreams)
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry. (I cry)
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side."

I woke up the next morning and realized that Bella was in bed with me. Instead I heard a lovely sound that I haven't heard in about two years. Bella was playing the guitar and singing.
I opened the bathroom door to see Bella on the counter singing her heart out. When she saw me she stopped and blushed.
"Don't stop. That was beautiful." I told her. "I really missed the way you would play your guitar."
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah. It was my favorite thing to listen to you play." I said truthfully.
"I've written a few songs but I haven't played them on the guitar yet."
"I would love to hear them when they're done." I said smiling.
"Alright." She smiled. "What are your plans for today?"
"I have nothing planned."
"Great. You can spend all day with me." She smiled deviously.
Alice and Rose came in then, "No he can't!"
"Why?" Bella whined.
"Because we're going to the mall!" Alice nearly shouted.
"We just went though!" Bella said back.
"You're still going. And that's final. Sorry Edward." Alice said to me.
"It's alright. I gotta go anyways, Bells," He said as he leaned in and kissed me on the cheek then left. I looked out my window and watched as Edward left. I stomped down the stairs too pissed to talk to Alice or Rose.
"Bella! Talk to us!" Rose yelled.
"Why?" I snapped.
"Bella, we need to get some stuff and we thought that we'd take you with us so we could get you some clothes to wear around Edward."
"I have clothes." I shot at them.
"Yeah, you do. But, you need more clothes! Edward has seen you in every outfit you own!"
"Fine! I'll go! Just don't do that again! I was so close to spending the day with him." I yelled.
"You really do love him, don't you?" Rose asked.
"More than you know." I sighed. "How could you tell? The way I screamed at you for making him leave?"
"No. Bella, you played your guitar this morning."
"Yeah, so?"
"Bella! You haven't played the guitar in over a year! You stopped after the wedding."
"Stop. Please, just please, don't mention the wedding." I said dryly. I let a tear escape and felt more coming.
"Bella! Don't cry! I'm sorry!" Rose said worriedly. Her and Alice embraced me in a hug.
"It's fine. I just had another dream, but, I saw more than I ever had in this one." I confessed, "If Edward wasn't there then, then, I don't know. He helped comfort me and I didn't want him to leave just yet."
"You should have said something!" Rose scolded.
"Sorry! I couldn't put it in words!" I said apologetically.
"Girls! Let's go shopping!" Alice yelled at the top of her lungs.
