Chapter Ten Break Up?
For the rest of the night we avoided each other. We didn't hold hands like we usually did. Charlie, Jessica, Mike, and Renee all stared at us. I sighed and read their minds to see what they were thinking. Charlie: Oh no! Not now. Why? It's almost Christmas! Jessica: Yes! Are they going to break up? Nows my chance... Mike: yes! I hope they break up then maybe I could ask Bella out... Renee: Are they always like this? Do they always ignore each other? Me: No we are not going to break up. Man some people are so rude! I sighed and looked at Bella and raised an eyebrow. She sighed and put her hand in mine. Everyone but Jessica relaxed. Mike looked sad but he was relived that Bella was happy. I had to give him credit for that. Jessica on the other hand, was mad and not relaxed and I was glad when Jessica asked Mike if they could leave. I stood up and walked out to my car to get the portable piano I had in my Volvo. I played Bella's lullaby. She sat beside me and near the end I felt her head resting against my shoulder. I carried her up to her room and I laid her on her bed and I picked up my guitar and play for her as she slept and I even sang some. I sang one of my songs, I wrote it while I was away from her for those long endless months. (New moon) The song is called Never Think. Bella has not heard me sing any of my songs. I was thinking of her while I played and I came to the decision of playing and singing for her. When I finished the song I stroked her face and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and I kissed her check very gently, worried that the sudden cold touch would wake her up. It didn't. I relaxed.
