Aria (AKA Nessie) Greene, January 26 1996 - July 7, 2011. This is for you.
"One can never truly forgive another, until they learn to forgive themselves."
~Ummm… me…?
"Sometimes there is no one to blame. Sometimes fate just has other plans."
~Me again!
Previously: "Suddenly, she was flung out of the way, and a familiar pair of arms weaseled their way around my torso."
If I thought Alice had a strangle hold, then Emmett's grip must've crushed every bone in my body. (A/N: I know you were expecting Edward, but then again, so was I! Emmett just demanded to have an appearance!) I tried to ask him politely (sure…. I was going to ask politely…. *cough*), but an odd noise came out instead. The noise was kind of a wheezy, squeak/cough.
"Emmett, give me a chance to hug her. You're crushing her." Jaspers voice came like a godsend as Emmett let go of me hastily. About to topple over, Jasper wrapped me in one of his famous brotherly hugs.
I was passed from body to body as my lungs tried their best to function properly after being crushed, deflated, punctured (by what I'm pretty sure are some broken ribs- my GOD Emmett has gotten strong!), and any other form of injury you can think of. Probably some you can't think of. Maybe some which haven't even been discovered yet. How cool would that be! Having some new injury that no one's ever heard of? Then again, if it was unknown, they probably wouldn't have any procedures to fix it… Ah, but how I digress. Each Cullen gave me a hug, the exception being him. He was just staring at me like he couldn't make up his mind about something.
"A penny for your thoughts?" I broke the silence that had awkwardly fallen between the two of us.
"Oh no, but I'll sell 'em for a dollar." Edward replied with that crooked, tongue in cheek grin.
"That would make a good lyric." I tried free styling for a minute (Not stalling, I swear… kinda…), "A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar. They're worth so much more after I'm a goner. And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing. Funny, when you're dead how people start listening" (A/N: If I Die Young by The Band Perry)
A few people around me clapped, one even handed me a tenner, and Alice squealed "I LOVE IT! You HAVE to finish it for me!"
"Alice, our ears!" Emmett whined. Everyone laughed at his pouty face, and I gave him a one armed, half-hug.
"So, Bella… That song…?" Edward's implied question hung thick in the air.
"I wrote it this afternoon. After," I cleared my throat, "After all that went down today at school." I looked pointedly at Edward, then dropped my gaze to the ground, noticing my watch in the process. "Oh gosh! I have to get back on stage, I promised one more song." As I ran toward the stage I yelled over my shoulder, "I'll be back in a minute."
Eh, I figure I sang the other two songs I wanted him to hear, why not a third.
(A/N: When I Look at You by Miley Cyrus) Yeah when my world is falling apart. When I look at you, Yeah when my world is falling apart, You, appear just like a dream to me. Yeah When the waves are flooding the shore, You, appear just like a dream to me. Maestro
Everybody needs inspiration,
Everybody needs a song.
A beautiful melody,
When the night's so long.
Cause there is no guarantee,
That this life is easy.
When there's no light to break up the dark,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
When the waves are flooding the shore,
and I can't find my way home anymore.
That's when I, I, I look at you.
I see forgiveness,
I see the truth.
You love me for who I am,
Like the stars hold the moon,
Right there where they belong.
and I know im not alone.
When there's no light to break up the dark,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
When the waves are flooding the shore,
and I can't find my way home anymore,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
Just like kaleidoscope colors,
That cover me,
All I need,
Every breath that I breathe,
Don't you know you're beautiful!
and I can't find my way home anymore,
That's when I, I, I look at you.
I look at you, Yeah, Woah.
