Chapter Song: Tears for Affairs by Camera Obscura.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, I do however own an awesome cool touch-pad mp3 with a great deal of indie music stored on it.

Time passed slowly after Alice's sleepover, it was fun I suppose. Alice had everything planned down to a T and the night was spent comfortably by all even me, for the most part.

Only blemished when I came to the shameful realization that I was secretly hoping Edward would turn up, because I wanted to make sure he was ok though I knew it was no business of mine.

Alice had hugged me when I left and Esme gave me a foil covered plate of cookies and they told me to come again soon, but I didn't.

Alice was sweet and nice and she would make a goof friend, but that didn't mean I would. I knew for politeness sake that I should invite Alice and Rosalie to mine for a sleepover but I couldn't bring myself to ask, did I really want them to see my cluttered poky little home, Charlie drinking beer on the couch and shouting at the tv and the dishes I still hadn't gotten around to cleaning?

And I was more then a little afraid of how often my thoughts turned to their brother, I couldn't wipe the image of him panicking in the closet from my mind.

So I hung out with Alice in art and avoided her offers home or out and tried to bite my tongue and stop myself from asking about Edward.

I had conveniently found a new quiet place to hang out though, which was surprising considering this was Forks and everyone knew where everything was.

It wasn't much, a crumbling wall facing the bus stop nobody used anymore because there was a new one across town. It was quiet though and Charlie didn't know about it, or at least that I went there. I read there or sometimes just sat, you could see the Cullen's home from that spot and my own, the contrast was startling.

I could see the entrance to the town too and the long windy road leading out of Forks, I intended to become very acquainted with that road.

And on that day it was exactly where I needed to be, to clear my head. I dumped my bag at home before throwing myself back into my truck and driving there immediately. But there was someone there.

A tall slumped figure with lanky legs stretched before them. The person was male, I could tell by the distance between his legs, no girl sat like that. And he wore a bottle green sweater with the hood up.

I sat silently beside him, both of us staring out towards the Cullen home, white and serene in appearance.

I wasn't sure if he had noticed my presence, neither of us said a word and the only sound was the gentle hum from Edward's earphones.

Until his hand stretched out towards me, flat and unassuming, within lay one earphone.

I eyed him suspiciously for a long moment and he continued to stare out towards the house his cheeks a dull pink, and his arm almost seeming not to belong to him. But he kept it close to me until I finally and hesitantly clasped the little bud in my own hand and gingerly placed it in my ear.

Camera Obscura played softly, Tracyanne Campbell's voice floating out towards us both. I recognised the song as 'Tears For Affairs'.

"You like Camera Obscura?", I asked stupidly, staring at his profile. He nodded gently and we continued listening.

The silence became stretched and I eventually broke it "I saw them live once", I muttered "they were just incredible".

That had been a long time ago though, my mother had brought me.

His response was quiet and barely audible "I've seen them a few times too". I couldn't help my smile, it was small but very genuine.

"I only saw them the once", I continued, and just because I was compelled to I said "with my mom, she didn't like them much", a huge smile spread across my face and Edward finally turned to me "she was more into power ballads she could sing along to but she knew I liked them so she surprised me with tickets".

And Edward didn't ask anything more, he didn't ask where my mother was or what had happened. Because somehow he must've seen that it was too painful to tell so he merely changed the song and curled his baby finger around mine.

Review Please! I hope you liked this, finally some Edward/Bella interaction. And I must say guys Camera Obscura are the greatest. I love indie music so I'll probably mention my favourite bands a lot.
