A/N: Sorry, it's been so long. I was going to update sooner but I got side-tracked, like I so easily do. I'll try to get the chapters out sooner but school just started so I'm not sure if I can.

Oh, by the way, the other story I've been working on is finished…so this is probably going to become priority!! Aren't you happy?? Now you'll get more updates!

Bella's point of view

"So, Bella, would you like to audition for a contract?" Mr. Withrich asked and I nodded my head numbly. He had explained everything to me and said he was pretty sure that we would get me a contrct—if I wanted it. Honestly, I wanted nothing more. I wanted Edward by my side, and my album playing in the car. I wanted the big family with the kids and the money. I know…my future was a million miles away.

I laughed and then Mr. Withrich talked to me about a time, date , and place to be at a recording studio. I hesitated and then told him about our plan to go to the beach in Florida. He laughed again and said Edward had planned everything—because his recording studio was in Florida!

I smiled, and jumped up and down, literally.

Then I blushed and took a seat as we took the time to set up a date and time to meet.

It ended up being Tuesday next week at 8:00 AM.

I smiled as he stood to leave at the same time that Edward walked in. He looked at mea nd then at Mr. Withrich and smiled.

"I was right, wasn't I?" He asked, smirking.

"Don't let it go to your head, Edward." I said, smirking back. I already had an idea of what song to sing…and it would reveal a secret that I wasn't too sure why I keep it a secret.

He laughed and we showed Mr. Withrich the door. Then I turned to Edward and kissed him sweetly, muttering a thank you.

"Thank you for what?" he asked and I smiled.

"I know you set it up."

"I know…but it's your superb singing abilities." He replied and I smiled, deciding to let him in on my secret.

"You remember the other day when you said that you heard a guitar coming from my room?" I asked, and he nodded, smiling.

"Well, you did. I play the guitar. I have since the sixth grade, but I didn't want anyone to know. I don't know why I just didn't. But I wrote a song in the eight grade…when you were dating Jessica Stanley…want to hear it? It's the song that I play most often." I asked and he nodded. I went to his side of the hotel room and picked up his guitar. It was a bit heavier than my own but it would do.

I smiled at him briefly before starting.

Edward looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

I laughed internally remembering the day that he told me he was in love with Jessi. It was the worst day of my life, and now I could look back and laugh at it.

Edward talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

He finally got it right; my brain had tried to tell me he had been wrong….

Chorus:

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

I remembered the days that Edward and I had rode together in the car as high schooler's and how things had never been the same after the day he told me he loved her. We always sang along to the radio although that isn't exactly what I had meant.

Edward walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

Repeat Chorus

I smiled as I sang, my heart in a rhythm along to the words.

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

I knew the ending was coming up and I threw my heart into it. I prayed to God he would like it.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Edward looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

I smiled as the song ended. Then he smiled as he took the guitar and he didn't hesitate as he started to play…

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

He looked me straight in the eyes as he sang and I could feel my heart melting at the lyrics.

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

So..what did these lyrics mean? Did he leave for my good?

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

I looked at him and was once again incapable of forming words.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

I looked at his hands and saw how they fly across the strings with such accuracy…and I thought I was good.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

I looked back into his eyes and saw the sincerity in them. He loved me….

Not seeing that loving you
that's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh...

I looked at him and I knew in that moment…no questions had to be asked, and no words spoken…we all knew what our feeling were, and our hearts were finally in the same place…

Laying wide open in each other's hands. I was trusting him and he knew it…just as I knew he trusted me.

A/N: Thank you guys sooo much for being sooo patient. I love you and you guys should gety an update soon. Not tomorrow, and maybe not Thursday, but probably Friday or over the weekend.
