The song is a bit oldie (I think I was a year old when it was released), but it really is beautiful.

Thanks for the reviews, faves and alerts!

Thanks to my beta, paralighter4ever.

Read, enjoy, and review ;)

The Truth

Chapter 10 – How an Angel Could Break My Heart

I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wished I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in may
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me…

The next day, Edward still didn't talk to me. I really wondered why.

On our way to school, I decided that I need to break his silence.

"Edward, is something wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing... I was just tired yesterday. I'm so sorry for my actions," he answered, his eyes focused on the road.

"It's alright, you have nothing to apologize for, I understand."

He nodded.

...

We had a half day schedule today which would only be spent for the signing up of clubs and for the club meetings.

As we entered the gates of the school, we were given a flier where the clubs and the corresponding rooms were printed.

After accepting the fliers, Edward parked in the spot yesterday.

The others were early today, and it looks like that they were waiting for us.

"Good morning, guys," I said when I got out of the car.

"Morning, Bells," They all greeted back.

"What club are you guys joining?" I asked them.

"I got accepted at football yesterday," Emmet said proudly.

"Rose and I are joining the Junior Designer's club. I'm sure it would be amazing. We get to design clothes and shoes, and even have a fashion show. Ooh, I'm so excited." Alice was really excited, it's very evident in her pixie voice, and oh I almost forgot, she was bouncing.

Rose and I were laughing at her actions.

"I'm good at playing the saxophone, so I'll be joining the, Musician's club. Edward, are you joining that club too?" Jasper looked at Edward.

I wonder what instrument Edward plays. He never talked of any, and we don't have any instrument at home.

"I am, I haven't played since me and my Mom got here. I missed playing the piano. Mom ordered a grand, it should have been delivered after the wedding, but there has been a problem with the shipping. I'm expecting it this week though," he explained.

Alice looked at me.

"What about you Bells, what club are you joining?" she paused, and then smiled mischievously. She continued, "It would be nice if you would join us. We can dress you up, do your hair— you could be our personal model!" She started bouncing again.

But I shook my head. Joining that club would be something not for me. Can't they see that I can't even let a day pass without tripping? And then they are planning to turn me into their model.

"I'm joining the Young Librarians club, but if it's already full, I'm joining Young Writers club. You know I love books and writing."

I heard Rosalie whispered, "So boring."

I knew my hobbies sounds boring to other people. But what can I do if those things are my interests? Those are my passion. And I'll make sure that I'll enjoy every club period that I'll have here at school.

...

When the bell rang, the students came rushing inside the school building. The principal was right we must hurry so we could sign up for the club that we like. It looked like there will be a stampede.

"COME ON ROSE!" Alice exclaimed before dragging Rose, and then they ran too.

Jasper and Edward just walked, as if they were sure that they are going to get in.

Me myself, I didn't rush too.

After fifteen minutes, I went to the library, of course the room for the young librarians. But the club was already full, so I went to room B-201, the room for the Young Writers club. There were only nineteen people there, with Andrew included. I didn't know that he likes to write. When he saw me, he signaled me to sit beside him, so I did.

"Hey, what's up?" He asked.

"Everything's great. I didn't know that you like to write," I mumbled, and then I smiled at him.

He shook his head nonchalantly, and then he smiled in return.

"I wasn't supposed to be here. I was supposed to be at the musician's club, I can play the guitar and write songs, but the Masen guy and the Whitlock guy filled in the 2 spots left in club. This is the only club that's free, well I have no choice. And I can write songs, which means I also have a little talent in composing poems. Lastly, I need grades for co-curricular you know?" He winked.

"Oh, okay. So how did you sleep last night?" I teased.

"It's was already 4:30 when sleep came to me. And my alarm clock woke me up at 6, I barely got some sleep."

"Poor you," I teased him again.

He was about to say something, but our moderator came in.

"Good morning, I am Miss Gilbert. It's very nice to see you all. I know that our club has the least member, but I hope that wouldn't down all of you. We need to show all of them that we can successfully publish the school newspaper. Can I count on you guys?"

"YES!" We all answered.

At the first two hours of the meeting, we introduced ourselves to one another. Then we had some sharings to meet new friends. I met Eric, the photographer of the club. I also met Angela, the editor-in-chief of the club, and Jessica, the feature editor.

After that, we had our break, which I spent with Andrew.

We were beginning to grow closer and closer. I think we could be called close friends now. It's like I have already met him before. Everything about us just seemed to be natural.

I learned so many things about him already. His parents own pretty number of malls, in short, they are rich. He has six year old twin sisters. He said that they were cute and adorable. They were also studying here, but they are at the pre-school and elementary building.

He said that he will introduce me to them, and I looked forward to that.

(EPOV)

During recess I saw Bella with that guy again. I can't really help to be protective over her. What if that guy tries to hurt her? What if he is a player? What if he takes advantage of her?

"Hey Ed, looks like Bells has a new friend," Jasper said behind me.

"Yeah," I said annoyingly.

I saw Jasper furrowed his brows.

"You're jealous," he declared.

I looked at him with shock.

"You know, I can read emotions or something like that."

"I am not," I lied.

"Liar," he argued.

"Said I'm not," I said through my teeth

"You are, I knew it. The way you look at her says it all. But Edward, she is your sister. You ca—

"

"I know, and I'm trying my best to forget about it. I tried avoiding her at first, but I realized that I can't do that because we live in the same roof and I'm sure that our parents will get worried. The reason why I drank with you and Emmett is her. I thought I could escape with alcohol, but I was wrong. When I am sober, reality hits me...hard. And she knows about it."

Jasper looked at me with shock.

"She knows it?" he asked in shock.

"Yeah, I told her when you guys came to our house for the first time. I just can't keep it anymore from her, so I took the risk."

"What did she say?"

"She said that we can't because we're siblings. She said that it was wrong and I should just treat her as my sister. So I did what she asked, even though it's hard and it's breaking me. And don't tell the others what I told you."

Jasper chuckled then he nodded.

He composed himself then he said, "You sound like a girl, man."

I punched him lightly on his arm. "Oh, shut up."

"So what do you plan?" He asked.

"I guess, I have to forget my feelings for her permanently, I just don't know how," I answered.

Jasper smiled mischievously, just like what Alice always does. He really spent much time with that pixie. And it looks like that he was planning something big.

"I'll help you. You know what other people say? You can forget a girl with another girl. I'll help you find a new girl," he said.

I shook my head immediately. What is he thinking?

"What are you thinking Jazz? That idea is insane!" I exclaimed which caused a few people to look at me.

"Just trust me Ed," he said confidently.

(BPOV)

A month had already passed, and things were going great at school. I'm pretty sure that my grades are good this first quarter. Andrew has also been hanging out with Alice, Jasper, Em, and Rose. But not with Edward, Edward doesn't seem to like him. And I think they have only talked twice.

It was just last week when Edward introduced us his new girlfriend, Rachel. She is beautiful, so beautiful. She has straight dark brown hair and dazzling sapphire eyes. She is taller than Rose, few inches shorter than Edward. She knows how to fix herself. She also looks rich, well who's not rich here in Twilight Academy?

She is nice too, well behaved, and very refined. She was taught well how to behave like a princess.

I was glad for Edward because he has found a girl who is perfect for him. He must have realized that the love that he felt for me was purely sisterly love, nothing more, nothing less.

It was just funny when I feel a pang in my chest whenever I see them together. Whenever I see them laughing together, holding hands, and whenever they are so sweet…it kinda hurts me. And honestly I have no clue why.

Edward rarely spoke to me anymore. We just managed to have a conversation whenever he drove me to school. I'm afraid now that we won't be able to talk anymore since dad bought me a new car.

When I have started driving myself to school that's when he started driving Rachel to school. I guess he wanted to do that long time ago; he just couldn't get rid of me because of our parents.

The following week, I finally lost it…

Our parents are at Esme and Carlisle's, so I was the one to prepare our lunch.

I went inside Edward's room, and I kinda forget to knock.

I opened the door of his room, and I walked inside.

"Edward lunch is rea—"

I was shocked with what I saw. I can't believe it. I just interrupted a make-out session. Edward and Rachel was making-out in the couch. Oh my god.

They both looked at me with shocked eyes. Rachel untangled herself from Edward, and then Edward tried to fix his messy hair. Edward was about to say something, but I interrupted him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that Rachel's here," I apologized, then I rushed downstairs.

I didn't realize that I was crying until I heard my own sobs.

I immediately called Andrew, and I asked him to pick me up. He sounds so worried at me, and just after ten minutes, he arrived here.

I told him everything that I saw, and then he brought me into an ice cream shop. He said that eating ice cream would make me feel better.

"I'm not a kid anymore Andrew, ice cream can't fix everything just like it used to do," I said between my sobs.

"Bella, it's an accident, there's nothing to cry about," he said as he wrapped his arms around me.

I cried and cried to his shoulder. I don't care if people are staring at us right now.

"But it hurts. I don't know why, but it hurts, my chest hurts whenever I see them together. And I just burst when I saw them like that," I said through his shoulder, I'm not so sure if he understood what I said.

"Why do you think it hurts Bella?" He asked softly.

"I don't know…but my chest—heart hurts. It feels like there's a hole," I answered, trying my best to be audible.

"Do you love him?" He slightly pulled away from me so that he could wipe away my tears using his hanky.

"Yes, of course, he is my brother," I answered with assurance.

"No, not that way, he is not your biological brother Bella; you know that something more could develop between you."

"He said before that he loves me…but I told him that we can't be more than brother-sister. I told him to forget his feelings about me. I just don't know why I'm acting like this right now. You know we're not anything; I shouldn't be acting like this! I shouldn't be jealous."

Did I just say that I am jealous? Oh God, I am. I shouldn't feel this though!

"Come on, let's go to my car, people are staring too much now," he said as he place his arm around my shoulder to help he stand up.

So we went to his car. He opened the door for me then I entered.

When he was inside, he pulled me into his chest, then he stroked my hair gently, that it made me feel so relaxed.

"Will you stay? Please stay; I need someone to comfort me. I just can't tell this to Rose and Alice. I just ca—"

I was about to talk more, but he hushed me.

"I'll always be here, Bella," he whispered to my ear.

He said some words that I cannot understand, since my brain was hardly processing at the moment. But his words seemed so comforting that it made me relaxed and fall into deep slumber.
