Chapter # 10- the lost is found
(Bella's POV)
It has been two weeks since I started my semester in Art University of Astoria, busy two weeks to say at least. My throat was burning from millions of practices I had for the Vocal Singing Performance that was going to be happening tomorrow night. However, I was secretly glad that it kept me busy from thinking. After each practice, I felt dead, that much exhausted I got. Maybe it was because Mr. Copeman thought I was fantastic and made me practice twice as much as others. On the other hand, perhaps the actual song that made my heart shudder with its lyrics. People wondered why my performing felt so true and real when I sang that song, but only I knew the exact reason. I 'felt' the song; it represented my feelings and my life.
I looked away Chorus: You're the only one, Chorus Wanna know who you are Chorus without last line I'm in love with you
Then I look back at you
You try to say
The things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you
I'd be with till the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means
Wanna know how you feel
Wanna know what is real
I wanna know everything, everything
Chorus
Cu z I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you (Please listen to this song. "Fall to pieces" by Avril Lavigne/Under my Skin Album!)
Flashback (Bella's first Vocal Singing class)
I walked through the white door to enter a big room full of microphones and cameras. There was a small stage at the back of the classroom, where I saw the teacher seating.
"Hello, I am Bella Swan. I am the new student here." I greeted the teacher feeling my arms shaking from fear. I knew I could sing, but singing in public was never an option. I was shy.
"Greetings, Bella! I am glad you are early today, I want to fill you in with the upcoming event we are having in two weeks." Event? Was he kidding me, I could not even sing and he was telling me that there was an event coming up? I nodded feeling that I could not find my voice.
"In two weeks our university is having out biggest performing night. Students are to perform their vocal and musical skills. That means you are going to have to sing and play the instrument you chose in your music class. Before we start practicing, here is the song I want you to do. Get one of those mikes and try it." Shock was written on my face as I felt the hot blood pulsing its way up my face. I looked at the song and wanted to scream. It was "fall to pieces" by Avril Lavigne, singing it would tear my inside hole apart.
"C'mon Bella, you can do it don't be shy. We only have five minutes before the bell rings." He handed me the mike and motioned to sit by a black piano, which I did not notice before.
I took a deep breath and started to sing, it sounded shy at the beginning but in the middle of the song, I felt tears floating down my cheeks. The song reminded me of my feelings and I was not shy anymore. I could not see my teacher staring at me in awe. I was feeling the song, as if it flew through my blood. My voice was filling the room with its exotic tone and my eyes were closed. When I was done, my eyes opened to see a whole class staring at me with amused eyes.
"What? Is something wrong?" I asked worrying that I must have sounded horrible but I felt better from singing the song. I quickly realized the tears were still fresh on my face as I went to wipe them off.
"Isabella, have you ever taken any vocal classes, have you ever heard your voice? That was amazing, I have never seen anyone sing so wonderful at one try!" Mr. Copeman started clapping as the rest of the class joined in. I felt embarrassed, but felt proud of myself.
My gaze landed on a tall girl with blonde hair that hung by her neck in straight lines. She was not clapping, but glaring at me as if I had to know what she meant. The girl was standing beside a cheering Chris who walked me to class today.
"Hi again, Bella! You sounded fantastic, some talent you got there!" he exclaimed, trying to make conversations. All I did was pretend to be listening to his endless, the most boring conversation ever.
End of flashback
The day of the Big Vocal Singing Performance
My heart was pounding hard, as I slid into a short dress that the school designer told me to wear. As I looked into the mirror, I did not recognize the person staring at me back. She had long silky curls coming down to her back. The make-up was done in light, natural colors. The pearl-colored dress seemed to fit so perfectly, rounding all of the curves of her body.
I looked amazed at myself. I thought I would never look so…pretty again (since prom with Eddie.) I was quiet upset when I found out that Charlie wouldn't be able to come see me perform, a huge accident happened so he could not leave from work. I quietly walked through the rooms of my house practicing the song on my way. Four hours of piano practicing everyday for two weeks made me memorize the notes, so I could play along with my singing.
I was nervous; my heart was pounding hard. I felt some wet substance escape from the corners of my eyes as I realized it was tears. This time they were not the tears of worry, they were tears for him. It's been over a year since I last saw his perfect face, nevertheless he was in my mind every second. He was somewhere out there in this world with me. He will be here when I die. Alice's note was the only thing that proved my mind that vampires existed. Ironic, I would never see him again. Little did I know about the upcoming night.
I finally made my way to the university and headed for the room the performers were to meet at. I saw groups of people arriving for the concert.
"Isabella, you are performing first please don't worry it will be alright. Just remember how we practiced and rock it out there. Impress me." Was he kidding me? I felt my face setting on fire, as I nodded with my eyes being wide open.
"By the way you have to say who the song dedicates to." I blinked knowing very well whom it would be dedicated to.
(Edward's POV)
As soon as the plane landed, I ran out the airport renting another car I would forget to return. I felt anxious as I took out Bella's new address that Ms. Cope gave me days ago. In seven minutes, I arrived to the place. Bella…what if she wasn't alone anymore? I'd deal with it later, I thought to myself. I arrived to the seventh floor, only to feel her singing scent hitting my head hard.
I entered the apartment, only to find it empty. Dammit! Will I ever find my baby angel, my love, my mortality, my forever? What is it that keeps us apart? The house was small but very cozy; it was painted in a chocolate tone, which I appreciated so much. I was extremely surprised to see seven painting hanging on the wall. They were portraits of my family, drawn by someone. Was it Bella who drew this? My dead heart skipped a beat, at the thought. She was so talented, why did I have to come and mess everything up by meeting her? Without me, she would have developed her amazing skills earlier. I found a huge stereo sitting in the living room, as I opened the CD-rom, there was a Debussy CD placed inside. I signed.
I waited for a while realizing that I was minutes late, since the scent was so strong that I knew she must have left five minutes earlier. Where would she go so late? College, it was too late for classes. My phone started vibrating in my pocket again, as I let out a loud growl.
"Hello, Edward? Why are you sitting around there like a dirt bag? Go, no run to the university now!" Alice hung up before I could ask anything else. What was going on? As I was about to exit the apartment, a small green book caught my eye. As I opened it, a big sign told me it was Bella's diary. I looked at the first entry and realized it was the first day we met; I quickly remembered that I had to leave so I placed the diary back to where it was, taking a mental note to read it later. If I couldn't read her mind, at least a diary would be helpful.
As soon as I left the building, I began to run at a vampire speed towards the university. There was a lot of people gathering around a small entrance, that had to be the theatre. As I made my way through the door, I saw my goddess on the stage...
A/N: You guys should be really thanking me for updating tonight(late at night)! So there he saw his goddess on the stage, but just make a mental note that she haven't seen him yet. R AND R
HUGS,
