Chapter 9
EdPOV
"Here is my phone number Bella. Send me a text later so that I have you number, and then I will call you with the details later about the movies."
Bella smiled at Jasper and saw our family minus Alice, "You got it Cowboy. Talk to you later."
Bella started to walk away and then winked over her shoulder at Jasper.
Cowboy. I really like it when she calls me that. Bella is one hell of a girl.-Jasper
I couldn't hold it anymore. I started to growl, and I just couldn't hold it in. I want to kill Jasper and I will. Nobody is going to get in my way.
Eddie man cool it. We are at school. As much as I like a good fight, we cannot do it here at school. - Emmett
I took a couple of calming breaths because as much as I hate to admit it, Emmett has a valid point.
"I am fine, but you need to explain yourself Jasper. You can feel how much I like her. Why are you setting up a date with her?"
"It's not what you think Edward. I was setting it up so that we could all go to the movies. As a family and a friend. I got to talk to her this period and she is great. She will compliment this family well, in whatever capacity, but you need to understand that I do not like her in any manner but friendly, maybe brotherly. She told me something that would probably help you out in figuring out if she is for you, but she told me in confidence, and I will not break it. She trusts me too much to do so. All I will say is that you need to get to know her in a friends only basis. Do not involve any romantic feelings in it. She will not reciprocate any feelings at this point in time."
I looked through his mind, and could come up with nothing with his conversation with Bella. It's like it did not happen at all. I guess I will have to take his word for it.
"I will take your word for it, but I have one question for you. How are you able to talk about Bella, but not have your conversation with her not in your mind?"
Jasper looked totally shocked by this.
I was kinda thinking about it. Kinda weird that he cannot see any of it. Maybe it has to deal with the whole thing were her mind is blank to him. Why Alice cannot get a vision of her. Edward if you are listening to this we need to talk to Carlisle when we get home from school. Maybe he has heard of something like this before. Also I have a confession to make. I cannot feel her emotions at all either. Also, while this girl smells delicious, I had no burning in my throat at all because of her scent. - Jasper
"I agree we definitely need to talk to Carlisle. Come on we need to get to class everyone. The bell rang 5 minutes ago."
BPOV
I am now in Choir. I have always loved to sing, but never had the confidence to sing in public, but Dad took care of that for me. We were just hanging out at the house talking and listening to music, when one of my all time favorites came on.
-----Flashback-----
"So have you thought about what electives you want to take?"
"I don't know Dad. Do you have the sheet so we can see what they are offering?"
"Right here Bells."
I started to look it over, and nothing was really catching my eye, when I got to the end of the list. Choir. Oh how I wish that I could get over my stage fright. Probably never going to happen. Hey look at that, they have Art. I could do that.
"To be honest Dad, I would love to do Choir, but I just don't think that I am ready for that. So instead I believe that I will do art."
"If that is what you want to do then, I say go for it."
We started thinking about menial things after that when the start of Kid Rock's and Sheryl Crow's song "Picture" came on. I stopped talking and was listening to the words Kid Rock was singing.
Livin' my life in slow hell.
Different girl every night at the hotel.
At this point I noticed that Dad started singing.
I ain't seen the sun shine in three damn days.
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey.
Wish I had a good girl to miss me.
Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways.
I put your picture away.
Sat down and cried today.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to her.
I put your picture away.
Sat down and cried today.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to her.
I decided to sing to, singing Sheryl Crow's part.
I called you last night in the hotel.
Everyone knows, but they won't tell.
But their half-hearted smiles tell me somethin', just ain't right.
I've been waiting on you for long time.
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine.
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights.
At this point Dad looked over at me shocked
I put your picture away.
I wonder where you've been.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to him.
I put your picture away.
I wonder where you've been.
I can't look at you while I'm lying, next to him.
I saw you yesterday with an old friend.
Dad was able to gather his bearings by this point so that he could continue.
It was the same old same "how have you been?".
It was now the part where we had to sing together.
Since you've been gone my world's been, dark and gray.
Dad and I continued to sing the parts respectively.
Dad: You reminded me of brighter days
Me: I hoped you were coming home to stay.
I was headed to church.
Dad: I was off the drink you away!
Both: I thought about you for a long time.
Can't seem to get you off my mind.
I can't understand why we're livin', life this way.
I found your picture today.
I swear I'll change my ways.
I just called to say "I want you, to come back home.".
I found your picture today.
I swear I'll change my ways.
I just called to say "I want you, to come back home.".
I just called to say "I love you, come back home.".
The song finished and Dad and I just stared at one another. I think that I was as shocked as my Dad. He
has a great voice. It was as though we were on the same wave length because we both started to crack up. We finally got ourselves together.
"Bells, I really think that you need to do Choir. Your voice….your voice is beautiful. It needs to be heard."
"I want to dad I do, but I have the worst kind of stage fright."
"Well then we will fix this. We my darling little daughter are going to go to a karaoke bar. We are going to get rid of this stage fright of yours. And this is not open up for debate."
-----Present time-----
That night we went to the karaoke bar, and I got over my stage fright with the help of my dad. He got up on stage with me and we sang "Picture" again. We got a standing ovation. I felt as if I was on top of the world, and nothing was going to knock me down. It was then I knew that I could do Choir without any fears.
It was at this point that I decided to look around the class to see if I knew anyone in here, since Mr. P, as he told us to call him was done telling us what he expected out of us, and that tomorrow, for us new people in the Choir that he would be finding out were best to place us.
I was slowly looking around when I saw the most beautiful face that I have ever seen, Alice Cullen. I could not look away from the perfection that was her. She noticed that I was looking and gave me the most beautiful smile that I think that out shined the sun. Then she winked. Winked at me. What could that mean? Before I could ponder it more though, the bell rang, and she was the first one out the door.
I cannot wait till I get to talk to Jasper again. He I believe is going to be my saving grace because he is willing to set me up with his sister. I really hope that that wink she sent me was because she felt the same attraction I felt, but I guess I really won't know until we actually talk to one another.
I made it to gym, and with it being the first day, it was a free day. Tomorrow we are expected to bring a change of clothes so that we can participate. So I am basically free to day dream about the magnificent creature that is Alice Cullen. I cannot wait until Friday.
A/N: Keep reviewing please. I really like seeing what you think about were this is going because honestly I do not know myself. This story has basically taken a life of its own and I am just along for the ride. Anyway. Have a good weekend. I will not be updating till Monday evening because I am helping some friends move this weekend, but if I have the time I will be writing and updating because I am as excited as you are to see were my story is taking us. Next Chapter, I am thinking of doing Alice's POV but I think that I want to wait until they officially meet for the first time. Not sure yet. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
