Sofia's POV
Most of my morning classes were annoying me especially my government class, all everybody was talking about was Alyssa & Brody's breakup and how Masen made a statement but the pathetic humans stirred it into something that's totally ridiculous some stupid idiot said that Brody got jumped by masen and Alyssa and they beat the crap out of him, another rumour was floating round that Brody was talking to some girls and that Alyssa caught him and went into a massive rage and set Masen on him! Where the hell do these people think of these things? it's ridiculous.
and it doesn't help things when you've got pathetic people like Molly and her fake brigade talking about Masen when i'm there, EJ, Jazz and Emmett had to try and distract me because i was so close to jumping out my chair and attacking the girl! Grr! I cannot wait until i graduate seriously!. The boys looked sympathetically at me EJ gave me a hug. "Just ignore them sofie, there just trying to get a rise out of you, don't sink to their level" I smiled happily at EJ and i felt a lot calmer but that was about to change when molly caught me hugging EJ. "Ooh Sofia you moving onto Masen's brother? Ooh! You're worse than Brody!"
i growled quite loud and gave the darkest, menacing look i could muster at Molly she looked at me with pure fear in her eyes everybody seemed afraid then the whole atmosphere changed the teacher cleared his throat and tried to carry on with the lesson but i could tell he was somewhat afraid as well. Emmett found it amusing. "Wait to go Sofie did you see her face?" I felt calmer thanks to jazz! I smiled appreciatively at Jazz and EJ looked a little worried.
"Sofie, i know its frustrating but be careful, you nearly revealed us!" I felt ashamed that i nearly gave away the secret to some human! AH!, i knew high school was going to be a little challenging but not to this extent, eugh if mase was here he would have comforted me, god i wish he was in my classes! It would be a whole lot better, when Molly knew i wasn't going to give her the time and day, Emmett thought it would be funny to tease me.
"So Sofie, how did you're little rump in the forest go?" Jazz and EJ were trying hard not to laugh, i blushed a deep crimson on my cheeks and glared at Emmett but was just smiling mischievously. "Me and Masen are not like you and Rosalie thank you very much! We only... made out thank you!" Emmett and EJ clutched their ears. "Ahh! Too much info! My ears burn!" Emmett said it a little too loud an the teacher heard. "MR. CULLEN! will you please pay attention!" Emmett smiled and nodded.
"Sorry sir!" i giggled furiously and the teacher glared at me. "Miss. Williams what is it you find funny? Jheeze what is wrong with you kids today!" I paused with horror and blushed furiously, the other kids in the class were giggling at us for being in trouble but i couldn't help it, i tried to stop giggling but Emmett kept pulling funny faces. "Sorry... sir" the teacher raised an eyebrow at me and mumbled. 'kids these days' and carried on with the lesson.
It wasn't until nearly the end of the lesson the teacher asked for our assignments thank god i had it with me and we all handed it in and the bell rang for break, i was met with my sisters Annie, Nessie & Lizzie, and Anna & Sam! We were all meeting up with Aly. I felt so sorry for Aly you could tell she was really torn up about it and Brody the idiot that he is threw it all away, they were such a good couple. But it doesn't matter Aly is a beautiful girl anybody will be lucky to have her.
Speaking of Aly we saw her walking to us her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was out of her ponytail and cascading down she was lucky that she wasn't wearing any makeup she tried her best to smile. "Hey guys" Aly sniffed and us girls could tell she was going to break at any moment she was trying to hide her feelings i stepped forward and opened my arms out to her tears escaped and she ran into my arms my friends and sisters all surrounded me and hugged her she was crying into my top but i didn't care i was stroking her hair and comforting her Nessie was stroking the back of her hair.
"Why did he do it, sofie! What did i do wrong?" us girls winced, passer-by's looked at Aly with sympathy. "Aly you did nothing wrong! Brody is a player and always will be! you are a smart, beautiful, funny, strong woman! You dont need somebody who is going to treat you like you're second best you deserve somebody that's going to treat you like a princess and give you all the love you want! I promise! You dont need Brody!" Aly sniffed and whimpered she lifted her head from my shoulder and looked around us we were all smiling at her.
"You really think so?" Anna nodded. "Of course Aly what guy wouldn't? Look at you you're beautiful!" Aly hugged everyone and wiped away the tears and smiled a genuine smile she had her head held high and she seemed relieved. "Thank you so much guys! Yeah i dont need brody! Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but someday i will meet my prince charming! One way or another" she sounded so confident when she said it then we were all happy for her and just in time the guys came over and Duane ran into Alyssa's arms and gave her a hug! Brandon looked at her.. for ages actually hum!.
Mase was behind with EJ and Matt & Theo, they were talking about cars, i rolled my eyes and i ran into mase's arms i caught him by surprise and he laughed. "Well hello beautiful!" I giggled and kissed him, i then got up from him and pulled him off the floor, EJ, Theo and Matt were laughing. "Man! Mase what's your secret to get hot girls to jump at you like that!" I glared at Matt and rolled my eyes. Mase smiled cockily. "Well Mattie boy it's simple you just got to have the moves!" I gasped and slapped mase's arm. "oh yeah and what moves are these ay?" I raised my eyebrows at Mase and he just gasped Theo slipped away while EJ and Matt wanted to see what Mase's answer was going to be. "er... um...".
I could tell Mase was trying to think of an answer but he was completely stuck so he just tried to skip the subject. "So are you guys ready for the talent show?" I pouted defeat ably but there was no surprise that everyone was excited today! Me and Mase have been practicing and i just hope i dont get booed or something.
Duane and Emmett were high fiving though Duane hurt his hand a little. "Hell yeah! This talent show is going to be SWEET!" I laughed At Duane's enthusiasm, the talent show is going to be in a few minutes actually i gasped and realised. "Ness, Liz, Mase, EJ we've got to get ready for the talent show!" Realisation crossed our faces and we said our goodbyes and made our way to the music room where last minute rehearsals were going to take place, there were a lot of people in there and .. MOLLY and her fake brigade were here what the hell! Since when did they join! Oh great!.
Mrs. Johnson was rushing around and panicking. "Everybody! The talent show starts in 15 minutes, so if you want to rehearse now is the time to do it!" i heard all the students making their way to the lecture theatre Nessie and EJ found the piano they will be playing and decided to practice, Lizzie was with me she got out her electric violin and stood by one of the band stands and started to play, i think everybody was actually listening as conversations was dying down i saw the emotion on Lizzie's face when she was playing it was Palladio it was one of the most complicated pieces to play but she managed to pull it off this was just her piece the back in track will make more of a dramatic effect i was the proud glint in Nessie, EJ and Mase for their little sister especially Masen he looked like he was going to cry with pride, i kissed his cheek and he smiled down to me and kissed my temple.
Lizzie had finished and everyone in the room roared with cheers and claps Mase ran to Lizzie and picked up her tiny frame compared to Mase she was laughing, hugging mase. I didn't know she could play the electric violin but then again if she play the normal one then its possible that she can play it. Mrs. Johnson was smiling and clapping. "Bravo! Excellente! Elizabeth! Nobody has been able to perfect the Palladio! Bravo!" Lizzie blushed at the teacher and nodded.
"thank you Mrs. Johnson!" Me and mase smiled and we got out our guitars out me and mase found a spot and sat in the corner mase was tuning his guitar while i was going through my music book where all my songs are, i thought i would play my song i wrote about that couple, so my fingers strummed away playing the melody, everybody went quiet as they never heard this song before.
Heart beats fast One step closer Time stands still One step closer And all along I believed I would find you One step closer And all along I believed I would find you Heart beats fast colours and promises...
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer...
When i finished the note i was overcome with emotions everybody cheered and clapped, Mase's heart fluttered. "Sweetheart that was amazing!" I blushed at Mase's comment. "Thank you baby! I'm glad you like it" Mase smiled his side smile and i was dazed i tried to break the eye contact but it was too strong until Nessie and Lizzie made me jump and had engulfed me into a hug, everyone complimented me saying it was amazing and asked if i wrote it i only just smiled and nodded. 15 minutes had passed me and everyone that was joining in the talent show were back stage Mase and myself were growing nervous i heard a tsk! And turned round there behind us was Alice and Rose they were smiling proudly.
"Guys what you doing back here you're going to get caught" Rose giggled and Alice rolled her eyes. "Oh so what i only want to wish my brothers and sisters good luck!" I laughed at the pixie's devilish smile and hugged us all, they actually did get caught by two teachers who happen to be male but didn't tell them off when they saw rose wink at them they became flustered and went red in the face me, Mase, Liz and EJ were laughing for ages, i peeked behind the curtain and i could see all the student bodies, all of the students, teachers, vice principals and the principal there sitting down patiently, suddenly the lights dimmed and everybody roared into cheers, one girl passed out as she was so nervous.
Mrs. Johnson had walked out on stage we were all but waiting who had to be called out first. "Hello everyone, i want to start off this talent show with a few fundamental rules. There will be no booing the students i think that they are very brave to stand in front of you people and perform for you today, there will be no throwing anything at the students you will clap and show you're support. That is all.. Now the first student that is going to perform first is a dance group that named themselves... um... Bootilicious?" Everybody roared with laughter i could hear Emmett in the crowd oh god!.
I looked around at whom that ridiculous band name and out came molly and the fake brigade they barged past us and stepped out on stage what they were wearing was just ridiculous they were wearing practically leotards and heels! Minus the tutu and tights. They had a trough full of makeup and their hair.. lets not go there i was even sure i heard Alice shriek in disgust which set me off laughing, Mase tried to keep his composure but we all watched the girls get into their positions and the music started to play, it was Britney spears- Gimmie more! Oh my god! I watched as they made a complete fool of themselves they were trying to act sexy and shake their hips and whip their hair but... they couldn't dance in their heels so they were all over the place they had chairs and well.. they just looked like they were humping the chair, i couldn't take it any longer along with me and everyone else in the audience and backstage were just laughing and the teachers looked disgusted especially Mrs. Johnson so they had to cut it short... "Okay.. that's quite enough give it up for... Bootilicious" only a few people clapped and they all walked off like they rocked it.
Oh dear!. They walked past us cockily and nudged my shoulder it would have hurt.. if i felt it but it backfired on molly because she hurt herself. I rolled my eyes and Mrs. Johnson looked a little mortified. "Okay... that was... interesting... next to perform is Alyssa brown!" I gasped WHAT Alyssa? I turned round to where Alyssa was she got EJ and they both walked out on stage, the crowd cheered as they saw both Alyssa and EJ she grabbed the microphone off Mrs. Johnson i searched for Brody in the crowd he was sat right at the front looking ashamed.
"Hello Everyone, now this song means much to me, i hope you like it" She said that while she looked at Brody Anna, Sam shouted "GO ALY!" and the crowd roared again she laughed then turned to EJ and he nodded then played the melody, Alyssa kept her focus on Brody who didn't break away from her gaze.. i got a feeling that whatever song she is going to sing it is definitely about him.
I'm sorry, I'm really a mess right now
I'm trying my best to get it together somehow
I can't see this way, locked up in this pain that you left me
I'm unravelling, looking for things that'll never be
Stars fade away they just crash into space
Disappear from the light like you and I
Tell me where love goes when it's gone
Tell me where hearts go when they go wrong
Suddenly someone is no one I've come
Undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone, undone
I'm sorry, I let me fall for you
I can erase you and forget you but I can't undo you
You're the hand I can't hold, the words I'm not told when I'm lonely
And I don't want you back, I just want to have what you took from me
Stars fade away they just crash into space
Disappear from the light like you and I
Tell me where love goes when it's gone
Tell me where hearts go when they go wrong
Suddenly someone is no one I've come
Undone, undone, undone
I'll come around again
I know it's not the end
But right now I've got nowhere to begin
to begin
Tell me where love goes when it's gone
Tell me where hearts go when they go wrong
Suddenly someone is no one I've come
Undone, undone, undone
Nothing but emptiness inside
Love leaves a black hole where it dies
How can I ever love again, I've come
Undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone
Alyssa kept her focus on Brody he was actually crying Mase looked at me with shock, who knew that Alyssa was a good singer she rocked it, she was awesome, the crowd was unsure to cheer but Anna, Sam, Brandon, Logan, Duane, Matt, Annie and Theo all stood up and cheered which then everyone including my family cheered Alyssa cut her gaze at brody and she smiled and bowed. "Thank you guys!" then ran off the stage, Me, Nessie and Lizzie were cheering including everyone else aside from the fake brigade all swarmed her and hugged her.
"Aly you was awesome!" Aly giggled at me and Masen "Thanks guys! I think that was the most terrifying thing ever". "Aly that song it was beautiful, was that about brody?" Aly looked at me and nodded. "yeah, i just wanted to show how i felt, show him how much he hurt me but also show him that I don't love or need him anymore" we all smiled and hugged her Mrs. Johnson got the microphone off Alyssa and walked back onto the stage.
"Wow, amazing singing voice, ok since Edward-Jacob is already out on stage, here he is playing on the piano, he is going to play three pieces he wrote himself, one is called Kiss the Rain, Bella's Lullaby and Lizzie's Melody" I swear i could hear every girl shout all kinds of things to him, I saw Bella and Edward and they were smiling proudly at their son, EJ stood up from the piano and toke the microphone to say a few words.
"Thanks guys, there are two pieces i didn't write myself, one is composed by my favourite pianist of all time Yiruma and there's another one that my brother Edward composed for my sister Bella, i composed one that is for my baby sister Lizzie. I hope you like them as much as i do, thank you!" there were a lot of awe's and cheers coming from my friends, my family were cheering, EJ made his way back to the piano and found the music he was going to play, then suddenly a beautiful sound floated through the air everyone was silent, nobody said a word not even a whisper just listened to the soft melody that was playing, i watched as EJ was in his element he hit every note with such care and precision, at that moment he reminded me of Edward, i turned to look at Edward and Bella, they looked so proud, Bella look like she was going to cry but unfortunately couldn't, Mase, Nessie and Lizzie were looking on at their brother with such pride, mase whispered.
"that's my brother" i smiled at him and leaned on Mase's arms, i was actually feeling a little sleepy EJ was playing so beautifully every high note was on point I watched EJ's hands glide onto the piano keys i then heard the melody grow slower and slower it sounded like a sad story, i watched as everyone looked close to tears.
His first piece was done and everyone clapped and cheered and whistled everybody loved it he stood up toke a bow then sat back down just before the crowd went silent, i heard the familiar gasps coming from my family this all to familiar piece of music Bella looked up at Edward they smiled with such love at each other remembering, he then kissed her cheek and watched on at their son, EJ played a little quicker this time this melody was a little complicated maybe like Bella was when she was human but it sounded lovely, it was full of love, after a while the song grew slower like her journey was at an end like her becoming a vampire, then another piece of music was finished.
Another roar of cheers and claps filled the room our friends aside from the boys were crying the emotion was raw coming from EJ he looked ecstatic and sat back down again, it was like a vicious cycle as all to soon the room was quiet again this piece of music was different EJ was hitting a few notes at a time, it was quiet, like Lizzie was, it was peaceful and content like she is, it wasn't as grand as the other two pieces, it carried on like this for a while, there was a hint of sadness in the song but then the music picked up and there was this burst of energy through the song it was like Lizzie, then it slowed down again and then it stopped.
everybody stood up from their seats even the teachers and even the principle everyone behind us was cheering EJ's name he was jumping in delight and bowed. Mrs. Johnson was crying and congratulated EJ. "Edward-Jacob Swan everyone" that was when i heard Emmett and Jazz chanted EJ's Name they all shouted 'EJ!, EJ!' it carried on and EJ smiled and noticed his parents in the crowd he smiled then ran off the stage Duane and everyone was going nuts.
EJ ran to me and hugged me Mase, Ness and Liz jumped on him and hugged him, "Now that was amazing!" we laughed at how excited EJ was he was jumping up and down and screaming. The girls behind us were crowding round him congratulating him, Alyssa pushed them away and rescued him. Mase laughed. "wow chicks dig guys that are talented" I glared at Mase and he just kissed my cheek.
Mrs. Johnson brought everyone's attention everyone was excited as to who was going to top off EJ's performance. "Ok everyone next up is Rhunesmee Cullen who is going to compete with her brother and also play the piano she is playing three pieces of music"
Everybody oo'd but i was confident Nessie is going to rock it, Anna and Sam and Annie were going nuts again, "Come on Nessie! WOOO!" Nessie toke a deep breath. "wish me luck guys" then we all shouted good luck she stepped onto the stage with her unusual bronze hair bobbing up and down she thanked Mrs. Johnson she turned to the audience, the boys wolf whistled which pissed off all the guys even Mase and EJ which caused me to laugh but she just smiled sweetly. "Hey guys, look i'm not going to compete with my brother... though i think i play better" everybody laughed at her comment EJ snorted playfully and she carried on with her little speech.
"ok guys the pieces i'm going to play are also by the fabulous Yiruma it's called when love falls, then i'm going to play a song my brother Edward composed for our adopted mother Esme! It called 'Esme's favourite' and i'm going to play a lullaby that Edward composed for me when I was a baby it's called 'Renesmee's Lullaby'" Everybody awed and waited for Nessie to sit down on the piano. I watched Renesmee played her first piece i was so surprised at how complex this song was and she played it with such precision it was amazing i think everyone gasped but continued to listen, in my opinion Nessie can definitely play better even if EJ is amazing, it seems that Nessie has been playing longer.
The melody was beautiful it somehow reminded me of Jake and her's relationship, steady, all what is beautiful, loving, the complexity was amazing and the ever so beautiful song grew slower and quieter, it was coming to a close, it then finished and everybody was just so shocked Emmett stood up and shouted, "YEAH! That's my baby sister! Go Nessie!" everybody cheered and roared Emmett did make everyone jump, Nessie laughed but she didn't stand up.
Another tune filled the air, it was really... depressing... according to mase this is the song that Edward composed for Esme... but it doesn't sound like her.. it sounds sad and... hopeless.. not the happy, motherly woman she is, Mase saw the confusion in my face and answered saying that its depressing because her human life was depressing, as she tried to commit suicide after her baby boy died she jumped off a cliff and she nearly died i was then touched with the sadness it hurt, i couldn't imagine Esme my step mother being like that.
the grandness of this piece was thrilling and then nessie came to the last note nobody said a word but everybody clapped and cheered. Nessie still didn't stand up, i looked at my family they were all sad and depressed probably sad for Esme. I got to admit i was too, i couldn't imagine what she was going through when she lost her son!.
Then a soft sweet melody filled the room again everyone was quiet and this song did remind me of Nessie, it was happy, lively, sweet, and was quick, it made me smile i watched as happy tears seeped down Nessie's face probably remembering back to when she was little, Bella and Edward looked so proud of Nessie if i was them and Nessie was my daughter i would be too, she was amazing!.
the tempo of the song quickened, i saw the raw emotion coming from Nessie and i think everyone in the room felt it, the quick melody slowed then stopped on the last note, Nessie stood up and everybody was going nuts i was going wild cheering i even ran out on stage and hugged her everybody laughed but i couldn't help it she was amazing. "Nessie you are amazing!" Nessie laughed and hugged me tight, we both ran off the stage everybody was chanting her name, and she couldn't have been more happy. Everybody did the same thing and surround her, Mase and EJ shouted 'THAT'S MY SISTER!' i laughed and watched as Mrs. Johnson congratulated her and walked back on stage.
"How about that! such amazing talent in the family! There is no doubt who played better right guys?" everybody roared and shouted both EJ and Nessie's names it made me laugh my friends were both shouting both and even the teachers were shouting and screaming it was funny. A couple of acts past either dancing, singing, holding a comedy act and now all was left was me, Mase and Lizzie. I was growing more nervous, Mrs. Johnson was now introducing the next act and it was... Masen! Mase smiled widely and grabbed hold of his guitar all girls was going NUTS! Shouting Sexy and you're hot and it was annoying. Nessie and Lizzie were giggling at my jealousy Duane and the lads were shouting MJC which caused everyone to follow. Mase grabbed a stool and placed it on the stage he toke the microphone so he can make his speech.
"Hi guys, sorry to disappoint i'm not playing on the piano... It's too complicated I'll leave that to the two Mozart's!" Everybody laughed and he carried on. "But what i am going to be doing if you can already guess is i'm going to play a song that i wrote myself, this is a special song that describes my feelings for my special someone.. Sofia! I love you sweetheart" everybody awed and i was right at the front behind the curtain i shouted to the top of my lungs.
"I LOVE YOU TOO!" everybody including Emmett roared into laughter and it caused mase to blush and laugh he balanced the microphone on the stand and he then turned his head my way and smiled my side smile everyone was trying to see who he was looking at, he then turned to the front and out of nowhere EJ was playing on the piano! While Mase was playing this amazing song then beautiful song erupted from Mase's mouth.
Oh, her eyes, her eyes I know, I know Oh you know, you know, you know The way you are Yeah
Make the stars look like they're not shining'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday (yeahh)
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay? "
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are[Verse 2:]
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
i was so shocked, speechless that song was amazing! That song was about me! he thought that was i was amazing! Just the way i am! Omg! I love him so much! Everybody had roared into cheers and chanting Masen's name! His voice is beautiful really raspy and smoky i love it! A bit like James Morrison in some ways but it suited Mase better Mase thanked everyone then walked off stage he swooped me into his arms and I kissed him deeply thanked him.
"Mase I love that song! Did you mean everything?" Mase smiled his side smile and nodded. "Of course sweetheart every word. You are amazing... just the way you are!" he sung the last bit and I could swear I heard someone swoon! But I didn't care this beautiful boy is with me! Mrs. Johnson was over whelmed by the talent we have in our family I think she was quite flustered I looked into the crowd and all the female teachers and all the girls all looked red in the face I couldn't help but laugh! I was clutching my sides even Nessie and Lizzie were; mase has dazzled a lot of women at the same time!.
Mrs. Johnson blushed deeply when she stepped on stage Emmett's booming laughter made everyone jump as he saw how red she was. "Okay settle down guys... ooh! Well! Masen Cullen everyone! Is it... hot in here?" I laughed at her she was deeply flustered and Mase whined hiding in my hair. "Oh man! Why do i seem to dazzle older women with just my presence?" I laughed really hard at that. "Baby not only did you dazzle teachers i think you dazzled all the women and girls in this whole school into one room!" Masen whined even more. "You're not helping at all!" I laughed and patted the side of Masen's head and listened out for the next act to be announced.
"Right, let's get this show on the road we have two more acts to perform, and now! Please welcome Elizabeth Swan!" Lizzie looked terrified but walked out on stage with her electric violin in tow, she nodded as she walked past Mrs. Johnson and did her little speech. "Hi everyone, if you're wondering what I've got in my hand it's an electric violin if you've played a normal violin then it's not that complicated, I am going to play the most well-known song in the history of music it's Palladio composed originally by Karl Jenkins, it is a very complex piece so if you would be so kind to not try and distract me! thank you I hope you like it"
there were surround speakers above us people back stage and the back in track of the Palladio was blaring but on live you could hear Lizzie playing, she was in her own world and the amazing track of the song came to life and it was explosive, everyone so badly wanted to scream and clap but she didn't want to get distracted EJ wanted to scream and shout I did as well! Edward looked more surprised, everyone was itching to do something but we waited until the song was over, 2 minutes on and she had finished everybody stood up and jumped up and down and cheered! Lizzie blushed viciously and thanked everyone.
I congratulated Lizzie but I was growing more and more nervous! I knew that i was the last to perform and all eyes are going to be on me all too soon, my name was called out and my heart was beating 200 beats per second.. well it felt like it any way. Mase kissed me and wished me luck.
I stepped out onto the stage slowly i was blushing badly, everybody was cheering and i heard Annie shouting in the crowd. "WOOO! Go sofie! I love you sis!" I smiled widely at that and i held my head up high, i stood in front of the mic and sat on the stool.
"H-hi everyone, i've written two songs one.. is called 'Who you are', and one is called 'Thousand Years' if you listen to the words then you'll understand the message i'm trying to send out! I hope you like it" I said quite softly, i plugged in my guitar and i started to strum my guitar there was no piano playing just me and my guitar, i toke a deep breath and then started my song.
Mmm.. yeah ooh.. y-yeah... Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars! Brushing my hair, do I look perfect? Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars! Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like WHOA! No, no, no, no, no...
I stare at my reflection in the mirror;
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
(who you are
I forgot what to do to fit the mould, yeah!
The more I try the less it's working, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no...
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!
Just go, and leave me alone!
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,
With a smile, that's my home!
That's my home, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
Yeah yeah yeah
I was so emotional from my song, everybody was going crazy appreciating my song, i heard my family and friends cheer me on, i looked to my right and i saw Mase, Lizzie, Nessie and EJ clapping and nodding their head at me, but my eyes were only fixed on Mase, his beautiful dazzling side smile, i thanked everyone and settled back into the stool, i strummed my guitar again getting into my zone, i toke another deep breath and put in the emotions i have for this song. Heart beats fast One step closer Time stands still One step closer And all along I believed I would find you One step closer And all along I believed I would find you Heart beats fast colours and promises...
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
One step closer...
After i finished the last note i opened my eyes i ended up giggling as everybody was showing support and everyone was shouting my name i giggled at Aly as she was glaring at Duane i rolled my eyes but smiled happily as i saw my sister looking so proud, i smiled at her i then remembered a song i used to sing to Annie back in Canada i wondered if she actually remembered it, i knew me and Annie would make up eventually were sisters!, she says she's going to make sure we never fight like that again! I'm so glad i've got my sister back.
before Mrs. Johnson made her way to me thinking i've finished i shook my head. "Guys, i'm not quite finished yet.. i have one more song i want to share with you, this song i written ages ago when i was living in Canada i written it for my big sister Anna-Maria, I'm not sure if you remember this song Annie but i love you!" Annie looked a little shocked, Anna and Aly were hugging her they smiled widely and were clapping. i played the upbeat melody, it always used to make Annie laugh whenever she was feeling down, if she was ever upset, this would put a smile on her face.
Scared little girl living on a big old world They took away your innocence, So whether you're a blue sky smiling Whether you're the sunlight shining down How do you repay a love song by the grave? So whether you're a blue sky smiling Whether you're the sunlight shining down Southern days So whether you're a blue sky smiling Whether you're the sunlight shining down
You've outgrown your room
It all happened way too soon
But we've still got a strong defence.
If I didn't get sieved in this,
I'd be lonely.
Or whether you're a grey sky crying
I look up to you
I look up to you
Or you hide behind a cloud
I look up to you
I look up to you
You hold out your hand and send me to sleep
But we won't let it get the best of us,
We won't fade away like dirt road dust
Cause no matter what love still remains
Or whether you're a grey sky crying
I look up to you
I look up to you
Or you hide behind a cloud
I look up to you
I look up to you
Your silly face
In our memories they can't replace.
No one else can take their place
But you
Or whether you're a grey sky crying
I look up to you
I look up to you
Or you hide behind a cloud
I look up to you
I look up to you
While i was singing the last chorus i wanted the crowd to join in, and eventually everybody was getting it and everyone was actually singing to it, arms around each other and singing, it was quite funny, Annie was singing along with a big smile on her face Aly and Anna were hugging and singing I found it funny.
When i finished the last line everybody clapped i just smiled and bowed i ran off the stage and jumped into Masen's arms he was expecting it so he didn't fall off balance like he usually does, Mrs. Johnson clapped and walked onto the stage. "Okay students this concludes our talent show and what a great talent show it has been! From what i'm aware it is now lunch time, you're last two classes still carry on as normal! Thank you!" the students clapped and then started gathering their things, me and Mase ran from behind the curtain and back stage we collected our bags and was waiting for EJ, Ness and Liz we were rolling our eyes because Liz tripped over and had landed on EJ so they ended up arguing. "Liz what the hell!" Liz huffed and got up off the floor.
"Well if you didn't put your whale of a suitcase by me i wouldn't of tripped over" EJ's eyebrows knitted together. "How in the hell is it my fault cause you to much of a klutz to not look where your walking!" A lot of people was finding the argument amusing, i was coughing to just cover my laugh, Ness rolled her eyes and intervened. "Guys seriously! Our friends and family are waiting for us come on you can kill each other after we come out of here!" Mase then burst out laughing.
Me and mase got bored and said we'd wait for everyone outside, nearly all the students were in the cafeteria but when me and Mase walked out of the door cheers broke making me and Mase jump Aly, Anna, Sam and Logan and Brandon ran up to us congratulating us, Aly was hugging me tight.
"You two rocked! Sofie you were awesome!" I blushed really bad and thanked Aly then sam complimented me. "Yeah sofie i loved the last song you did, i didn't know you had such a powerful voice!" Mase playfully looked hurt as he looked at Sam. "Sammie what about me?" Mase pouted playfully and Sam giggled giving him a hug. "You were amazing too Mase!" Mase laughed and hugged her back. EJ, Nessie and Lizzie had finally came out and everybody clapped for them they blushed and was surrounded by everybody.
Emmett came trucking over and gave me one of his oh so famous bear hugs. "Emm...ett... can't... breathe!" Emmett put me down and he just laughed Rose and Alice rushed past and gave me a hug as well. I looked at Aly and she looked happy. I walked over with Annie behind me, Aly was talking to Duane and Theo. "Hey guys!" Theo smiled "Hey Sofie great show!" I giggled. "thanks, hey Aly, are you okay?" Aly looked startled but smiled. "Yeah sure, dont worry i'm fine seriously." Duane didn't look convinced.
"Aly, you can tell us, you dont have to try and be a strong person all the time you know, it's not healthy to bottle up your emotions... because it'll build and build until you let them out in the most awful way! So come on i dont want my friend being sad. Is brody getting to you?" I nodded as i agreed and perfect timing Mase came over just before Aly was going to tell us. "What's going on?" Aly must have felt overwhelmed and just didn't say anything.
"Nothing... look i'm hungry can we just go to the cafeteria" I sighed and turned to Mase. "Great timing baby.." Mase looked confused but shrugged Theo slapped his forehead. "Yeah mase perfect timing." Mase really was confused now. "why is everyone being sarcastic all i asked was what's wrong?!" Aly looked uncomfortable i looked around and called all the girls. "Ness, Annie, Sam, Anna, Rose, Bella Alice lets go get some lunch".
All the girls agreed i grabbed Aly and us girls walked off down the corridor there were a lot of people that was staring at us, us half vamps and vamp girls was all walking gracefully down the corridor and the beautiful human girls were in front walking as gracefully as they could.
A lot of people complimented me saying i did a great performance i smiled and thanked them even though i didn't know half of these people. Once we arrived at the cafeteria it was like the first day all over again everybody was staring at all of us i could tell Bella didn't like it as much as i did, though it wasn't obvious in her face but i can tell she didn't like being centre of attention. Rose was actually liking all the attention, we all joined the lunch queue and i kept a closetful watch on Aly, she was chit chatting with Nessie and Lizzie, Annie and i were talk whispering.
"Is Aly ok?" I shook my head at her, Annie gave me a sad look. "What's bothering her?" I sighed, and then looked around the room i saw Brody sitting with... Conner and all of his friends. What? Those jerks! Oh great! Oh well you win some you lose some i saw that Brody was burning his dark brown eyes burning into the side of my head, it was growing really uncomfortable but i answered Annie's question by tilting my head in Brody's direction she looked from the corner of her eye and she knew who i was talking about she growled really quietly.
"How could that jerk do that to Aly? Eugh! He makes me sick!" I saw that Annie was glaring daggers on the floor, it made me giggle i gave her a sisterly hug and she wrapped her long arms around my waist. "Oh by the way Sofie, that last song.. i can't believe you still remembered!" I blushed crimson. "Of course i do Annie; i kept it in my music book all of my songs i've made i've kept track of." Annie half smiled. "Sofia... i'm scared... what if.. He finds us!" This grabbed nearly everyone's attention apart from Anna, Sam and Aly as they were making their way to our table. Rose and Bella looked worried; in some ways... i felt the same.
What if Joham finds us?... Zack did say that he's sent our brother and sisters after us!, maybe those are the new scents the wolves are picking up.. i'm going to need to talk to dad. I sighed, Alice gave Annie a hug. "Annie. You dont need to worry, we will do everything in our power to make sure he never lays a hair on both you and Sofia again! Trust me" you'd have to be an idiot to bet against Alice. I mean she can see the future after all. Even Annie has got her gift surely she can see that nothing will happen... though there's always that feeling like something bad will happen.
Annie nodded and didn't get much for lunch and to be honest neither did i, i felt physically sick to my stomach and besides since the hunt this morning i'm feeling a little slushy. Then i did remember grabbing a bar of chocolate before i left Sue's house, nothing stops me from eating chocolate. As i sat and didn't bother to touch my lunch i bought i tucked in my chocolate bar. Then i noticed all the girls were looking at me, the vamps were wrinkling their noses and my friends were looking at me like i grew a second head.
"What!" Annie giggled and shook her head, Aly eyes my chocolate hungrily. "Aly touch my chocolate bar i will push you off the chair and make you buy me another one!" Aly laughed and rose her eyebrow "Yeah, because that will happen, you love me too much to do that to me!" I playfully glared at her "try me!".
Aly and me were playfully glaring at one another neither of us was willing to back down i could stare her down for years and it wouldn't bother me though it would feel very uncomfortable, everybody was giggling at our little disagreement, then i saw Aly start to twitch and gave up. "OK, OK you win! But first!" Aly then took a bite out my chocolate bar and smiled triumphantly I gasped then shrieked slightly this caused nearly all of my sisters to fall on the ground laughing. "ALY! YOU OWE ME A CHOCOLATE BAR!"
Aly licked her lips enjoying my chocolate bar, i can't even eat it as it had her saliva on it EUGH!. "Here take it it's got all your slobber on it now!" Aly cheered victoriously and i just crossed my arms and pouted like a child. For some reason i had this nagging feeling to turn around, when i did two boys were standing behind me everyone went quiet it was Conner and Brett they were staring at everyone lustfully.
Conner looked a little better he had his leg cast off a few weeks ago apparently his arm cast came off a couple days ago, if i was human i would have maybe found him attractive with his dark blonde hair and dull blue eyes the more I look at him he definitely looks like mike from forks, then you had Brett! He annoyed me so much this morning he told me if i was available after breaking up with masen which he calls 'pretty boy' he said that he will 'show me a good time' EUGH! He's the most disgusting human being!, but he's not as bad as the rest of Conner's friends, there's another one named Hayden according to Anna he was named as a geek but has turned into a real jerk after making friends with Conner.
Aly looked pissed. "What the hell do you two want!" Conner smirked. "Wow, Alyssa! You've covered up... pity... i liked it better when you had nothing on! What changed?" Alyssa looked pissed to say the least, she stood up ready to kick his ass, me and Annie got a firm hold of her. "Aly! Come on! He's not worth it!" Aly breathed and calmed down, Conner snorted. "Like she could do anything to me anyway.!" I laughed darkly. "Pity!" Conner eyed me lustfully up and down. "Man! Masen is one lucky guy! You know! You need to be careful on who you talk too" I was growing annoyed at the fact that these guys just came over to start taunting us.
I just snorted disgusted. "Is that a threat?! Because I think you need to be careful on who your threatening if your here to make Alyssa miserable then you're wasting your time!" Connor looked a little miffed but he stood his ground, i didn't want to make another scene in the cafeteria, i needed to calm down before i did something I'd regret. "Guys... I'm going to take a walk, it STINKS in here! If you see mase just tell him I'm outside ok!" Alice gasped Bella and Rose was accompanying her, my sisters nodded. Lizzie looked a little concerned. "Do you want me to come with you?"
I was too pissed to have company right now. "No Liz its fine honest! I'll calm down in a minute! I'll see you in gym ok" Liz wasn't sure but she nodded i gave her a hug to reassure her Annie wrapped an arm around her as well. "Don't worry Sofie will be fine!" I noticed that the guys were still here i was annoyed. "Why are you still here? Get lost!" I clenched my teeth together Conner looked livid. "I believe it's a free country! I can go wherever i please!" I shrugged then stomped away out of the cafeteria.
