Chapter Twenty-One- Singing our Song
BPOV
The rest of the day went by fast. Too fast. I demanded we go back to the den. I wanted to play on the Xbox. I was extremely fascinated by it and had never owned one before. Edward was trying to take it easy for me. I could tell. How? Well it may have to do with the fact that I won the first nine games.
"Edward," I said, frustrated. He looked at me with angelic innocence.
"What sweetheart?"
"Stop letting me win," I huffed, chucking the controller at him. He didn't even need to look; his arm shot up and caught it deftly. He passed it back to me carefully, ignoring my gapes. I knew he would catch it, I just never imagined he possessed that much skill.
"I'm not, love." He said, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. Wow he was a good liar.
"Really?" I asked skeptically. "Because when you played this game with Emmett you were able to defeat the dragon three times. Why not now?" He sighed.
"You know me too well Bella," he said, reaching out to touching my cheek.
"It's a good thing too. And it was a bit obvious. I mean, you being a vampire and all," I said, smiling.
He returned the gesture.
"Ok then, we'll play again. No flukes. And we will see who wins," Edward said, determination now etched on every perfect contour of his amazing face.
Of course he won again, but at least this time he didn't let me win.
He shot me an apologetic look.
"Sorry," he said, grimacing. I laughed. His competitive side was now very, very clear.
I stood up and wandered around the Den. It was huge, with state of the art technology in every corner. Finally I came to a corner of instruments, including a drum kit, a key board with a microphone, a saxophone and a classic guitar.
I picked up a mike and began to fiddle with the switches.
Edward came to my side in a flash.
"You sing?" He asked. I shook my head quickly and my cheeks began to flame. That gave me a way and Edward gave me a "Don't lie to me" look.
I sighed.
"Only a little," I admitted.
"Really?" he asked. I nodded and he picked up a music book from the stand.
"Choose one from there." He said grinning. What did he mean by…? No. Way.
"I can't Edward. Please don't make me," I pleaded, my eyes beseeching his.
He smiled softly.
"Won't you even sing for me?" He asked, moving closer and kissing me on my lips. My stomach was filled with butterflies. From the request and the kiss.
I couldn't refuse him, but I could try.
"Edward…please don't make me," I mumbled, suddenly very interesting with the buttons on the pocket of his shirt.
He looked at me with a dazzling smile, it almost made me pass out.
"Fine," I grumbled. Snatching the music book from him and flicking through it until I found a familiar song.
Edward smiled in victory.
I took the microphone in my hand tightly, closed my eyes, took a deep breath and began to sing.
EPOV (A: N/ Please listen to this song on YouTube at the same time if possible. It's called Once upon a Broken Heart. It's really a great song and very appropriate. I don't own any of it.)
One upon a broken heart,
I was walking alone in the dark,
Looking for a way to start again,
What I wouldn't give for a friend,
There was no love in my life,
There was no light in my eyes,
All the tears that I had cried and cried,
Seemed liked they'd never end,
And I never believed fairytales came true,
But now I know that they really do,
Now that I found you,
Now that I'm here with you,
Just look at the sunshine, and you,
Showed me a world I've never seen,
I woke up and fell into this dream,
Happily ever after took time,
Once upon, this broken heart of mine,
Long ago and far away,
I could never dream of the day,
That your love would come my way and stay,
And sweep me away and I,
Never believed fairytales came true,
But now I know that they really do,
Now that I found you,
Now that I'm here with you,
Just look at the sunshine, and you,
Showed me a world I've never seen,
I woke up and fell into this dream,
Happily ever after took time,
Once upon, this broken heart of mine,
This is the way a fairytale feels,
This is the way I know it's real,
'Cause this is the way a broken heart heals,
And I never believed fairytales came true,
But now I know that they really do,
Now that I found you,
Now that I'm here with you,
Just look at the sunshine, and you,
Showed me a world I've never seen,
I woke up and fell into this dream,
Happily ever after took time,
Once upon, this broken heart of mine.
The angelic voice pierced straight through my being. It was beyond beautiful. Her voice was clear cut and natural. There was no doubt about the fact she was the best singer I had ever heard. It was incredible. She sang it with raw emotion, giving me an indirect link to her thoughts.
She was also stunning when she sang, her eyes were closed, her eyelids glowing. Her perfect lips were moving in synchronization with the song.
When her eyes opened, the passion from her voice was reflected in her chocolate brown eyes.
She smiled and blushed the darkest I had yet seen. I needed to let her know how incredible she was. She didn't see herself clearly at all.
I kissed her softly, putting a lot of unsaid things into that kiss. As my mouth moved against hers, my arms twined around her waist . As usual, I heard her heart rate increase and she began to lose control I pulled away and she looked dazed. I was in the same state.
"Wow," she whispered, biting her lip.
"Yeah, Wow," I replied. Our kisses were always intense but this one had beaten it all by far, even if no tongues were involved.
"You're amazing Bella. Your voice, it's unbelievable. I can't believe you're all mine," I whispered, pulling her towards my chest.
She looked up and smiled at me.
"It's funny; I was just thinking the same thing about you."
I shook my head in a vigorous defiance.
"I don't even compare to you Bella."
I think I heard something like a small snort and then a sigh.
"Edward?"
"Yes, love," I said, stroking her cheek and pulling her closer towards my chest.
"What you are going to do, about my dad, I mean. You need to tell him that I'm safe. I'm so worried about him. He's a man. He doesn't know how to fend for himself."
I chuckled.
"Don't worry love, I have a plan. I can carry it out now if you wish?" I asked. She tugged away from me and looked at me directly. Her beautiful eyes made me lose concentration for a second.
"Please, could you Edward?" She asked, her eyes pleading. I nodded.
"Bella I'll go and do it now but is there anything else you need right now?"
She shook her head.
"Ok, you can explore the house if you wish, but in your interest, sweetheart, I would advise you to stay away from the basement."
"Ok." My Angel replied.
I then wrapped my arms around her again and kissed her forehead.
"I love you," she whispered. I smiled. I knew she loved me but when she said it I felt as if I could fly.
"I love you," I replied simply and walked out the door at human speed.
As soon as I was out of the room I ran at my speed to my office and took my phone. I then took an unnecessary deep breath and dialed the number that Tyler has acquired for me earlier. I called as a private number. He wouldn't be able to trace me.
After one ring the phone was picked up by a man, his voice thick and tired sounding.
"Bella? Bella, honey? Is that you? Please Bella, is it you?"It was Bella's father. I then heard another voice, more feminine, but with the same amount of fatigue and despair.
"Charlie, answer it properly, I doubt it's her," Renee, her mother.
"Mr. Swan?" I asked, in a soothing voice, to lessen their apparent distress.
"Yes?" He said, after hearing my voice and not Bella's his tone became lower and more frantic.
"Your daughter is safe."
There were two audible gasps on the other side.
"What? Who are you? Where is she? Please, tell us?" Her mother said. Oh, I was on speaker.
"Bella is safe and will return home to you in a few days. However, would you mind telling me something? Have you filed a missing person's report?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Please, Mr. and Mrs. Swan. I need to know otherwise Bella might not come back."
"Yes, we have," Charlie whispered. I sighed, loads of people were probably looking for her.
"Call off the police now," I said, increasing my tone to a slightly threatening manner.
"I am the Police. You tell me who you are and why and where you have my Bella." Charlie growled.
"I can't, I'm very sorry. But all you need to know is that once you have the Police search stopped Bella will return to you, make up a story, anything. Once all these things have been done I will return your Bella to you."
"Please whoever you are, don't let anyone hurt my daughter, please. What you want will be done but if I don't have her home in three days after I call off the search, it will go back on. Understood?"
"Completely, Mr. Swan. You will have your daughter back. I'm sorry," I said quietly then slammed the phone down. I hated to do this to Bella's parents. They were the ones that created my beautiful angel.
I sighed. I only had a maximum of three days left with my Bella. I wanted to tell her, she should know exactly how long. But she would enjoy our last days more if she were oblivious. I would go and see her every day, I vowed. But, it would still miss her company here. I felt my heart break in two; I didn't want to leave her.
Then my phone rang again. I looked at the caller ID. Alice. I picked it up.
"Hello, Alice?"
"Edward, hide Bella, the Volturi are coming.
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING DID YOU? MWHAHAHAHA, OK SORRY IM IN A REALLY EVIL MOOD RIGHT NOW. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW. I GOT A GOOD IDEA FOR THIS VOLTURI THING BUT IF YOU GOT ANY LET ME KNOW AND IT MAY BE BETTER THAN MINE :D THANKS GUYS LOVE YOU, DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW. AND I WONT LEAVE YOU ON A CLIFFY NEXT TIME X
