Okay…THANKS A LOT FOR THE REVIEWS!

I love 'em so much! :]

Disclaimer: I own no Cullen, Hale, Swan and Twilight for that matter.

This chapter is the last EPOV…for now until something important comes up in the story. Oh and this is EPOV of Chapter 8: A Picture is all it takes.

I give you Chapter 11: Heartfelt Music


We sped out of school to the Swan's house. Apparently, the red BMW M3 was Rosalie's, it really reflects her personality then the midnight blue Mercedes Guardian was Bella's, I bet her parents got it for her since she was so clumsy, very appropriate for Bella.

We parked in front of a faded white painted house…or maybe mansion. It was bigger than ours but just slightly, it also had three floors. We all got out of our respective cars besides Bella. Alice shot as glances that meant, "shut-up-I'm-planning-something" and we kept quiet. She opened Bella's door, I heard Clair de Lune playing and it seem like Bella was listening to it before she got out. She reached for the door handle only to realize it's absence. Alice grabbed her hand then and pulled her out of the car.

"Why do you even stay in your car to listen to that kind of music?" Alice asked.

"It relaxes me…" Bella said. She looked around and bushed.

"Well, now that you're out, let's get in and have a little snack before we start band practice!" Alice said as she pulled Bella and we barged into the house, while the rest of us were laughing at the sight of Bella and Alice.

"WE'RE HOME!" she squealed and a woman, who I believe is Alice and Bella's mother came from the kitchen.

The inside of their house was…big! . The back part was taken up by a huge curving staircase. The rest of the wall was a glass sliding door that leads to a garden since I can see flowers and grass from here. The left part was taken up by the living room with a huge flat screen and a comfortable looking 'C' shape couch. At the corner was a shelf of pictures. Opposite to the shelf was a door. The right part was obviously the kitchen since there was a dining table, cupboards, stove, refrigerator, and everything else you need for cooking.

"Hi girls! I see you've brought new people with you." The woman said but I wasn't really paying attention. There was a picture on the second row that really got my attention. It was of a little boy and a little girl. They were both laughing and behind them was a big tree…Oh my, is it really her? I have EXACTLLY the same picture in my wallet, but only smaller.

"Oh, yes mom. They're new. This is Emmett" Bella said as she pointed to Emmett. "and this is Edward." Then I pointed to Edward. They all shook hands.

"This is a very beautiful home you have, Mrs. Swan." I said as a compliment, and it really was.

"Why, Thank you Edward. But please, don't call me Mrs. Swan, I prefer Renee or even Mom." She said as she smiled at me.

"I must agree with Edward, but I bet you're a great cook judging by the smell of those…." Emmett said as he eyed the cookies and we all laughed.

"Help yourselves kids. I'll just be up in my room if you need anything."

"Bye mom!" Alice, Bella, Rosalie and Jazz said.

"Bye Renee!" Emmett and I said, we weren't as close to the others yet.

We all headed for the cookies in the dining table and started to eat them. Emmett ate a whole lot, making me feel a bit uncomfortable because he ate half of it. Every time I would question him about his diet, all he says is "I'm a growing boy"

After eating, we decided to start playing some of our compositions.

As we were headed to the door by the kitchen, I decided to ask Bella about the picture now, I poked Bella in the ribs then I said, "Hey, can I ask you something…?"

"Sure. What is it?" She asked curiously.

"Well, here, I'll show you." I said as I grabbed her hand and pulled her to the shelf of pictures. I felt the jolt of electricity again but I invited it, it felt so special because only with HER do I feel it.

"You guys go ahead…We'll follow!" Bella screamed to the others who nodded, confusion all over their faces, even Bella's.

"Just hurry back. And no monkey business!" Emmett said and they all burst out laughing as Bella and I rolled our eyes.

By now, we reached the shelf and the others were out of sight. I got the picture that I wanted to ask her about from second level of the shelf and handed it to her, making sure that it was upside down. She looked at me, then raised an eyebrow at me.

"Just look at it first before I ask you anything." I said, eyeing the picture frame which was turned upside down on 'maybe' my Bella's hands.

She turned it right side up. She smiled a small smile then she caressed the face of the little boy. Maybe, if it really WAS her, she missed me just as much as I missed her. Well, better not get my hopes up so I won't end up getting crushed in the end…I just have to hear it from her myself, I'm such a coward.

"Uhm…Bella, can you tell me about this picture?" I started nervously.

"Sure…This is a picture of me and my best friend, Eddie in the orphanage where Alice and I came from. He was always there for me especially when I fall, he would always help me back up." She laughed a bit at some memories, I guess…while I flashed a smile. It really was her, she gave me that nickname as a kid! " And this tree," She pointed to the tree behind the two children in the picture, "was our special place, we would play games here or just enjoy each other's company. But then, one day he got adopted. I was pretty devastated at that time because he was everything to me. I had to keep in mind that it was for his future and I better not ruin it. The day of his departure, he gave me this heart and asked me to keep safe and to never forget him." A few tears escaped MY BELLA'S eyes as she toyed with her pendant, the heart I gave her. The sight of it made my heart break, Bella never forgot about me but I give her pain from the past…

I couldn't contain myself anymore, I HAD to make sure she was real, pulled her into a hug. We fit like perfect puzzle pieces.

"I can't believe it. Bella, is it really you?" I said in a shaky voice.

"Huh?" She said, clueless.

"I have a copy of this picture…" I pulled out my wallet and showed her. The front photo was the same as the one in the frame, only smaller so it would fit.

"So…YOU'RE REALLY EDDIE?" Bella squealed, her eyes lit up and a grin stretched across her face, beautiful. Perfect. I don't deserve such a sweet being!

"and you're REALLY BELLSEY?" I said with my own grin. She smiled, I bet by what I called her.

Our friends came popping out of everywhere, I bet they knew about it already. I even bet they were eavesdropping even when Bella told them to go ahead, they were all stubborn! But you've got to love em'!

"Oh my gosh. Am I meeting THE Eddie of Bella's childhood?" Alice squealed as she pulled me into a hug. I got a confirmation about the stubbornness and eavesdropping.

"Yes you are! I was wondering in Biology how she had that pendant because as I remember, the one I gave my best friend in the orphanage was very unique, one of a kind if you may and she had the same chocolate brown eyes." I said as I blushed. I just admitted to staring at my best friend!

"I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!" Bella squealed as she pulled me into another hug.

"I missed you too." I whispered but everyone heard.

"Oh trust me Edward, she missed you alright. When I met her, she had nothing else to talk about but you!" Alice said to Bella's embarrassment but if I were her, I wouldn't be embarrassed, I would even be proud. She buried her face into my chest as she blushed, trying to hide it from everyone besides me, but she was so red that even if you were far away, you could tell. She just made everyone double in laughter.

"Edward missed THIS GIRL like hell too! When I first went home, he was so cold towards me. He said that he didn't want me as a brother because he wanted a sister, he wanted his best friend." Emmett said, faking hurt. Oh hell was he right! I barely even went out of my room. I would only go out if I needed to eat or for school as for the remainder of my time, I would just mop around. Though it was wrong, I was mad at Esme and Carlisle at that time from keeping me away from my best friend. I even got madder when they brought home Emmett, thinking that he could take my Bella's place. Hell will that ever happen but I have learned to accept Emmett and treat him as a brother, even love him.

"Aww…It's been years, you'll get over it! Plus now, you met Bella!" I said to Emmett, as I patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"I guess I couldn't blame you. Bella here is like the younger sister I never had." Emmett said as he patted Bella's head like a kid. In return, she shot him a glare, making everyone giggle at her cute stubbornness. Yes, I find it cute so shoot me.

"Yeah. Edward Cullen. So it's you. Did you know that some of the songs Bella wrote was--" Rose started but Bella covered her mouth so she wouldn't finish.

"A lot was about you, you know." Jasper said while wiggling his eyebrows at Bella and snaking his arms around Alice. Bella threw him a glare which only made everyone laugh…more. I was surprised at what Jasper said though, Bella made songs about me…just like I did about her.

"Okay…ENOUGH HUMOR AT MY EXPENSE!" Bella screamed seriously.

When she said that, we only doubled in laughter, clutching our sides, I could even feel tears streak down my face from laughing. She made an irritated noise that sounded like a 'humpfh' and attempted to walk away but I stopped her by holding onto her, I snaked my arm around her waist, locking her in the iron cage which were my arms.

"What, you done laughing at me?" Bella snapped. Okay, we have to stop making fun of my girl.

"Sorry Bells, you were really funny. And thanks for the songs. I also wrote a bit about you…" I said sincerely, I wouldn't want her to doubt me anymore.

"Thanks Eddie…I can call you that, right? Like old times?"She asked, unsure. She thought I might not like it…but she can call me whatever, I wouldn't even care because everything sounded right when it came from her.

"Sure. But only YOU can call me that and I can call you anything I please." I said and Bella giggled. Humm…what can I call her…Bellsey? Izzy? Bell-a-bear? A lot are coming into my mind now…

"Okay…enough chit-chat, LET'S PLAY SOME MUSIC!" Emmett boomed and we all laughed at his excitement. I knew how Emmett was…especially when it came to his music.

We got inside the room by the kitchen.

The music room was well….shocking as well. Completely not what I expected. I was actually expecting classic or soft colors, like the one at our own home. But no this room is COMLPETLY different, even compared to the whole house itself. This room was carpeted black. It's walls were painted black with rainbow colors splattered all over. The lights were neon, for crying out loud! There was a marvelous black grand piano, a violin, an acoustic guitar, an ice blue electric guitar, a set of blue drums that looked new and couches of the different rainbow colors. It looked more like a recording studio because of all the amplifiers and controls but it was so…I can't even find the right way to describe the so-called music room of the Swan's. I knew my face was that of shock. I also knew that Emmett's face was that of shock as well.

"Welcome to Sky Fly's Jamming Room!" Jasper said and the four of them laughed some more while me and Emmett were still marveling about the room. Our music room is like rubble compared to theirs! I wouldn't allow any of them there unless important! It's so embarrassing.

"Guys, shut your mouths, you might get flies in them!" Rosalie said and they doubled in laughter at our face of embarrassment. I just looked down as I blushed while I was sure that Emmett was doing his nervous and embarrassed actions which were namely, plastering a goofy grin across his face and scratching the back of his head.

"Sorry, it's just…" I started.

"SO FREAKIN COOL!" Emmett screamed like a girl, making me laugh with the other four.

"Alright. Listen up guys, you're the first ones here besides us, our parents and the construction people, technically. I know how it feels to be here for the first time." Jasper said.

"And we'd appreciate it if you don't tell anyone and just keep it in the band?" Rosalie said.

"We won't." they both said. So it was very private, I am so freakin' honored! I would honestly kill to have a room as awesome as this!

"Okay…LET'S GET THIS STARTED!" Alice screamed into the mic.

"Whatever Alice. Get out of there first!" Bella said and Alice proceeded to sit on the yellow couch which she obviously claimed as hers. Rosalie sat at the red one, Japer at the green one and Bella sat at the blue one. Emmett took the orange one since it was besides Rose's while I settled in the seat next to my own personal angel which was purple.

"So, what instruments do you guys play?" Jasper asked, business like once again. I stole a glance at Bella. She looked like she was in pain by biting her bottom lip to keep from laughing at Jasper's tone.

"I compose, sing, play the piano and a bit of guitar. While Emmie here is a drummer." I said, I so badly wanted to impress them so we could join the band…even though we already are…but you know, officially?

"COOL! Eddie, Emmie, play for us please!" Bella said as she made the most heartbreaking pout I have ever seen. Maybe I was a little biased, but it was heartbreaking! It even earned giggles from Alice, Rosalie and Jasper.

"Sure." I said then I whispered to Emmett what they were playing and Emmett just nodded, no comment at all. He knew the importance of the song to me, he respected it. I began to sing and play the piano without Emmett's drumming while looking directly at the best friend anyone could ever ask for:

You look so beautiful today

When you're sitting there it's hard for me to look away

So I try to find the words that I could say

I know distance doesn't matter

But you feel so far away

And I can't lie

But every time I leave my heart turns grey

And I, I wanna come back home to see your face tonight...

By this time, Emmett had already joined me in playing. I mean every word in this particular song. I wrote this on one of the days when I just sat and thought of Bells. She was indeed beautiful and it hurt to let go even when I was just a kid when I left her.

Cause I just can't take it

Another day without you with me

Is like a blade that cuts right through me

I can wait, I can wait forever

When you call my heart stops beating

When you're gone it won't stop bleeding

I can wait, I can wait forever...

You look so beautiful today

It's like every time I turn around I see your face

The thing I miss the most is waking up next to you

When I look into your eyes, man, I wish that I could stay

And I can't lie, but every time I leave my heart turns grey

And I, I wanna come back home to see your face tonight...

I never broke his gaze from her, trying to communicate to her, tell her that I wrote this song for her. This song was about me missing her…and how it killed me to cause her pain when I left. I missed her so much, she was my…precious pearl…and I had to leave her.

Cause I just can't take it

Another day without you with me

Is like a blade that cuts right through me

I can wait, I can wait.. I can wait forever

When you call my heart stops beating

When you're gone it won't stop bleeding

I can wait, I can wait.. I can wait forever...

I know it feels like forever

I guess that's just a price I've gotta pay

But when I come back home to feel your touch makes it better

'Till that day there's nothing else I can do

And I just can take it

(Just can't take it)

Another day without you with me

Is like a blade that cuts right through me

I can wait, I can wait.. I can wait forever

When you come my heart stops beating

When you're gone it won't stop bleeding

I can wait, I can wait.. I can wait forever...

I admit, the song is heartbreaking that anyone who hears it will basically get the story…which was about how much it hurts to miss the one you love especially when you don't know if the other person is well or if you'll ever see each other again even if you would and could wait forever. I saw Bella blink a couple of times, trying to hold back her tears, she really was and still is one hell of a girl. She was perfect. I don't deserve her…at all. She may seem to be blind to the fact that she is indeed beautiful, but she is. She is beautiful inside and out. She deserves someone who will make her happy and unlike me, never cause her pain or leave her side.

I can wait forever

I can wait forever

I can wait forever

I can wait forever

I can wait forever...

By the time Emmett and I finished, everyone was giving us a standing ovation, but I really didn't care about the others, I wanted Bella's opinion. I saw a single tear roll from my angel's eye. Before she could do anything about it, I was already in front of her, wiping that single tear then I pulled her into a hug. Her scent was like strawberries and freesia. This moment was perfect and I never wantef to let go. But I have to, eventually.

"Let me guess, you wrote that for her?" Jasper asked from behind when we pulled away from the hug.

"Yes I did. It's my favorite composition besides something else that I started working on…"I said as I eyed Bella. I was working on a piano piece that was about the love between Esme and Carlisle over the years. I decided to make a piece as my anniversary gift to my adoptive parents.

"Thanks for the song number Edward and Emmett, that was some mad drum skills!" Bella said happily.

"My pleasure, Izzy." I said then I played with her hair, making it messy. I just wanted to touch it and feel it's softness…

"Oh no. you're in trouble." Bella whispered in my ear as she had her eyes on Alice who's eyes were practically blazing.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO, EDWARD?" she screamed as she charged at me. Holy crap, what did I do? They all laughed at the weird scene, a 6'2" guy, backing away from a 4'11" pixie.

"I played with her hair?" I said it like a question while backing away from a very angry Alice. They all doubled in laughter and Bella shot me an apologetic look while I threw her a pleading one. What did I do now? I need help!

"Hey Alice!" Bella said.

"Yes Bella?" she said as she looked at Bella.

"We still have to play for them. So you can't kill him…" she said as she eyed me, I was pretty sure that I had a goofy grin plastered to my face from relief. "YET." she added and my face fell. Shoot. Well, I have to pay for the consequences any way…the worse could be…Alice making me fit into a dress of hers or something…HELL.

Alice, Bella, Rosalie and Jasper were now having a discussion, maybe about whatever they wanted to play. I saw them nod in sync.

They all took their places and their respective instruments. Bella had nothing on her…but the mic. But I knew she could play the guitar…right?

"1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!" Alice screamed and they started to play:

At first it was just Rosalie with the piano, then Jasper with a little guitar chords and a bit of Alice's violin notes. Then the room was filled with Bella's sweet, sweet voice…making me forget about everything else.

Got a picture of you, I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark.
Got a memory of you, I carry in my soul;
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold.
If you asked me how I'm doin', I'd say "Just fine,"
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind...

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time you're still with me it's true.
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside,
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by.

As the song developed, they played and Bella sung, she just looked at me the whole time. Her eyes were willing me to listen…and understand. Bella, Bella, she was perfect in every way.


I still wait for the phone in the middle of the night,
Thinkin' you might call me if your dreams don't turn out right.
And it still amazes me that I lie here in the dark,
Wishin' you were next to me, your head against my heart.
If you asked me how I'm doin', I'd say "Just fine,"
But the truth is baby, if you could read my mind...

By this part of the song, Bella closed her eyes, hiding her stunning chocolate eyes. NO! I wanted to shout but she sang every word without worry, flawless if you may. Flashback of memories came rushing into my brain, all of them about Bella.


Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time you're still with me it's true.
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside,
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by.

Minutes turn to hours, and the hours to days.
Seems it's been forever that I've felt this way.

Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you.
After all this time you're still with me it's true.
Somehow you remain locked so deep inside,
Baby, baby, oh baby, not a day goes by.

She was crying, CRYING I tell you. She had tear tracks on her cheeks…all because of me! Ugh, how I hate myself right now! I pulled her into a hug as soon as their song was done, her eyes weren't even opened yet. She opened her eyes and looked up to me, a small smile on her lips.

"Bella, since we're done singing, can I kill him now?" Alice said.

"Sure. But we need to watch and please stay in the garden." Garden? Why in the garden? Oh no…they have an obviously menacing plan. But Bella's in it too!

"Sure! Now, Edward Cullen, you shall face the consequences of messing with my creation." She said as she dragged me out of the room and into a garden that you would only find in storybooks.


I'm so sorry if it will take time before I put up another EPOV . It's just that, I'm not as comfortable in writhing it as I am in writing BPOV. I hope you understand.

I'm sorry...this Chapter was done in a rush...I don't know when I'll be posting again so I tried to fit it in today.
