The next day I was feeling a lot better than I had been the night before. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I now had a boyfriend who was so absolutely adorable, it hurt my heart to think of how I had almost not had him in my life. I tried to dress quickly, but my ribs hurt slightly every time I would try to put on my shirt. I walked over to Edward and shook his shoulder.
"Edward?"
"Wha? Gi'me 5 more minutes Bells… pwease?"
Did he just say 'pwease'? Just when I think he can't get any cuter…
"Edward! We have to go to school."
"I don't wanna."
"Edward. Lauren's here with Jessica. She wants to know when you want your wedding to be. And if you want her to wear a cream or white dress? She says the cream will go better with your eyes than white. She also wants to know whom you want as your best man so she can pick she bridesmaids. What flavor cakes do you-"
"WHAT!?"
"You're awake!"
"Bella! Do NOT! Under any circumstance, joke about that with me, all right. The only person I want to marry is you."
"You do know we are only 17, right?"
"I said that out loud, didn't I?"
"Yep?"
"Why did you wake me up? With my driving we can get to school in less than 5 minutes?"
" I need you to help me get changed."
Well, I think he's awake now.
"What?"
"Seeing as I can barely move my elbow up past my belly button, dressing myself is rather hard. Care to help?"
He blushed, and nodded. This would be fun.
20 MINUTES LATER…
After a bit of struggling, seeing as I could not move my arms past my belly button, Edward refused to move his left arm from across his eyes and only could use one arm to help me, I was finally dressed to go to school. Everything was going great. Until the morning announcements.

When the announcements came on, everybody seemed to be paying attention, rather than spacing out.
As you all should know, there is a talent show on the last day of school, there will be a sign up sheet in the cafeteria from now, until 2 days before the actual event. All participants must use school appropriate language, innuendos, and dance moves. That is all for today
Well. This could be interesting. Later that night, I was at my job at Newton's (pretend its Edwards not Bella's). I was singing along to a song on the radio, that I hadn't even noticed I was doing. My brother just loved the song; so naturally, it got stuck in my head.
Well it's early in the morning
And my heart is feeling lonely
Just thinking bout you baby
Got me twisted in the head
And I don't know how to take it
But it's driving me so crazy
I don't know if it's right
I'm tossing turning in my bed
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinking bout your beauty it makes me
Weep...
I'm feeling hopeless in my home
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love
Baby...
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Then what am I feeling (what am I doing wrong)
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?
Now I know you're not my lady but I'm just tryin to make this right
I don't know what to do I'm going out of my mind
So baby if u let me could I getchu to say maybe we could ride together
We could do this all night now I don't care if u got a man
Baby I wish you'd understand
Because I know he can't love u right, quite like I can
It's 5 o'clock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinking bout your beauty it makes me
Weep...
I'm feeling hopeless at home
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love
My singing was brought to a stop by an annoying squeal behind me.
"Omigod! Anthony! (Remember, Bell and Edward have not told everyone their real names yet…) I can't believe you really feel that way about me! Are you singing in the talent show?"
Lauren.
"I might. But that song was for my girlfriend…"
"OMIGOD!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!! OF COURSE! I MEAN I KNEW YOU WOULD BECAUSE, I MEAN, LIKE, WHO DOESN'T BUT OMIGOD!!"
"Lauren-"
"YES?"
"That song wasn't about you."
"Of course it was, silly. I'm your girlfriend, right?"
I saw a little brunette head quickly walking over to us.
"Oh really? Because I thought I was?"
"Bella!"
"Her name, is like, Marie, Anthony. There is no way she can be your girlfriend if you don't even know her name!"
"Hey, babe." I kissed Bella's hair
"Marie."
"Lauren."
"I just got to hear Anthony sing. Have you, ever?"
"Oh, yeah. Almost everyday, back when we were in honor choir (does that even exist?) In Virginia."
"Are going in the talent show?"
"Maybe. You?"
"Of course. Listen to my beautiful voice:
Even though the gods are crazy
Even though the stars are blind
If you show me real love baby
I'll show you mine
I can make it nice and naughty
Be the devil and angel too
Got a heart and soul and body
Let's see what this love can do
Maybe I'm perfect for you"
I think I may be scarred. That was horrible. As if the song wasn't horrible enough when Paris Hilton recorded it, Lauren's annoyingly nasal voice completely butchered it.
"Didn't I tell you I was good?"
Bella dug her face into my side. I thought she was crying or laughing. Either reaction could be considered normal with Lauren's singing.
"Yes," Bella said, "Your singing was quite nice. I don't think I could ever do that good."
"Try. Not like you could."
"Alright." She closed her eyes before opening her mouth and starting to sing.
"I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
The moment that I saw you cry
It was late in September
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right...
I'll always remember...
It was late afternoon...
In places no one would find...
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry"
She voice had weaved an intricate melody far better than Mandy Moore had. And don't get me wrong, I thought she did a great job on this song. I saw Lauren from the corner of my eyes, with her mouth open.
"Whatcha doin', Lauren? Catching flies?" Bella grabbed my arm and started to pull me away from the store.
"Bella, will you do a duet with me for the talent show?"
"What song?"
gee, now I had to think of a song for us to do, so that he beautiful voice would have a chance to shine, and hopefully I could fade into the background. Ha. I would like that.
"What are you, mezzo-soprano?"
"Actually, I am a soprano, thank you very much. Not like I ever have any one to sing for."
Ok, I now have to find a song that will for both her soprano vocals, and my baritone. How would I do that?
