Chapter 25
Previously: "In the hippie days. Those were the days." Wow.
Izy POV
Suddenly all the words that had been floating around in my head these past couple days just all clicked together perfectly. YES!
"INSPIRATION!" I yelled and ran to the music room.
Edward POV
"INSPIRATION!" Izy yelled and ran away.
That was weird. What does inspiration mean? And why did she run away? Did we inspire her to run away? Nah, that's not it, we were just talking about the hippie days. Besides, it is a little hard to believe that Jane has never said peace until now. Wow. Oh yeah, Izy ran away.
"Does that happen a lot? She yells inspiration and runs away." Alice asked. She was thinking the exact same things as me 'Did we inspire her to run away? No I want to inspire her to shop and have a fashion sense, not run away.' I wasn't thinking that last part but you get the point. Right back to Izy running away. Should we be offended by that? Everyone in my family looked just as confused as me. Did this happen a lot?
"Yeah." Vicky said and then she saw our confused faces. "Oh, yeah. Whenever Izy starts to think of a new song, she yells inspiration and locks herself in the music room until she is done. It's soundproof so that we can't hear her until she lets us in, too." She explained.
"How long does she stay in there usually?" Esme asked concerned.
"Until she finishes the song. Sometimes it's just a few hours other times it's a couple days." Jane answered.
"Days." Alec said very depressed.
All of my family threw a questioning look at him. Vicky saw that and told us, "Last time she was in there for five days before Alec gave up and started banging on the door. She finally let him in and threw him back out after three hours. He was happy for a couple hours and then got all depressed until she came out again."
"DAYS!" Alec yelled.
"Days until what?" Izy asked walking into the room.
"IZY!" Alec yelled and ran to her and grabbed her waist and spun her in circles.
"ALEC?" She questioningly yelled.
"He was remembering last time you had an inspiration and locked yourself away, and then he started getting depressed." Vicky told her.
"I wanna see the song. You finished so quickly. It's either really good or really bad." Jane said.
"Well, I hope that they are really good. But actually I wrote two songs." Izy said proudly.
Wow, two songs in less than five minutes. Wow.
"Wow, you wrote two songs in less than five minutes. You got skills Izy." Emmett said.
"Thank you thank you very much." Izy said in an Elvis voice and did his funky dance move he always does.
"Everyone shut up. I wanna hear the songs." Jane whined.
Izy POV
"Fine Jane. How do you want to play them?" I asked getting down to business.
"Do you need all of us for them?" Vicky asked.
"Yeah. I could write it down, show it to you in your head, or just play it for you guys first?" I listed their options for them.
"How about you show us in our heads and then we play it for the Cullens?" Alec suggested.
"Sure." I said. Then, I went into their minds and showed them the two songs.
"OH MY GOSH!" Jane screamed.
"Um, good or bad?" I asked quietly.
"GOOD OR BAD? ARE YOU INSANE? THOSE ARE AMAZING!" Jane screamed at me.
I let out a huge sigh. "Okay then, let's play them."
"This is the first song for a guy that only a few of you know." I said and we started the song.
All this time I was wasting, You don't have to call anymore Looking so innocent, But you don't have to call anymore You're not sorry no no oh You had me crawling for you honey So you don't have to call anymore
Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down
And it's taking me this long
Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again,

You're not sorry, no no oh

"That one is called You're Not Sorry, and this next one is called Hero in Me." I told them.

Everyone was just staring at me and I was starting to get nervous.
"Um, so what did you guys think?" I asked quietly.
"Well, if you asked there is something seriously wrong, Izy." Alice said and I just stared at her and made my face say WHAT? "Okay, Izy. We all loved it. Those songs were great. And to think that it only took you ten minutes to write them."
"Well, truthfully, those words have been stuck in my head for a couple days and I just couldn't make them fit together right until a couple minutes ago, when it all just clicked." I told them all honestly.
"No matter how long it took you to write those songs, they were wonderful." Esme said with tears in her eyes. And I gave her a huge smile, which she returned.
"Have we heard all the songs that you have written?" Rose asked.
"No, I have a couple that you guys haven't heard. Do you want to see them?" I asked.
"If we see one that we really like, would you mind playing it for us?" Jasper asked.
"Not at all, I enjoy singing and writing the music." I told them all and led them to my music room.
"Your going to let them in?" Jane asked when I ushered them in the room.
"Yeah, you all can come in, just not when I have my inspiration." I said.
"Okay, here are all my songs." I put them all on a table for them to look at.
"Can you play this one?" Rose asked pointing to Arms.
"Sure, I love that song. I also have a couple new ones that no one has heard yet. I'll go get them." I grabbed The Dog Days Are Over, Howl, and Drumming Song.
"Why don't you play those four songs?" Jane asked.
"Sure." I said.
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart You put your arms around me How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around? I hope that you see right through my walls The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved You put your arms around me I hope that you see right through my walls I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth I hope that you see right through my walls You put your arms around me and I'm home
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
"Okay, that song was Arms and this next one is The Dog Days Are Over." I told them all.
Happiness hit her like a train on a track The dog days are over Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father The dog days are over And I never wanted anything from you The dog days are over Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father The dog days are over The dog days are over
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
"This next one is called Howl." I said.
If you could only see the beast you've made of me My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in Howl, howl Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack And howl, howl Be careful of the curse that falls on young The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress And howl Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
Howl, howl
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground
I want to find you tear out all your tenderness
Howl, howl
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Hunters, hunters, hunters
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'd ground
Starts so soft and sweet and turns them to hunters
A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground
"This is the last song and it's called Drumming Song." I announced.
There's a drumming noise inside my head There's a drumming noise inside my head Louder than sirens I ran to a tower where the church bells chime Louder than sirens Louder than sirens Louder than sirens As I move my feet towards your body I run to the river and dive straight in I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole As I move my feet towards your body There's a drumming noise inside my head There's a drumming noise inside my head Louder than sirens Louder than sirens As I move my feet towards your body
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
"What did you guys think?" I asked.
"STOP ASKING THAT QUESTION! All YOUR SONGS ARE AWESOME!" Alice screamed.
"Thanks, I think." I said a little confused.
"That was a compliment." Jasper confirmed.
"Oh, okay, thanks Alice." I said.
"No problem Izy." Alice said very calmly.
"Is everyone ready for the wedding?" Vicky asked.
