Edward's Point of View
"Open."
"Edward!" Alice said, entering the living room. She stopped dead when she saw me playing the piano again.
"You, too?" she grumbled. "You music people…"
"Huh?"
"Bella was playing the piano when I walked into her living room thirty minutes ago."
"Bella doesn't play the piano," I said, confused.
"That's what I thought too," Alice said, hopping onto the piano. "But she does. She said she started eight years ago after she left. She had this huge beautiful black piano in her living room like you…exactly where you have it now actually. In the corner."
I raised my eyebrows. "Is she any good?"
"She's really good!" Alice enthused, nodding. "She plays almost as well as you do. She's even made her own compositions. She's made twelve. Look, I brought them for you. I asked and she told me that I could take the originals. Here." She handed me yellow folder and I took them curiously. The first composition caught my eye.
I frowned, amazed. The notes were drawn neatly on the sheet. The notes were hard, but I could tell that it was probably easy to listen. I started humming out the notes. It was beautiful. I placed it on the stand and began playing flawlessly as though I had been playing for years now.
"It's beautiful," I commented. "But it's hard. The technique is amazing. She's gifted for sure."
"She was playing that when I came in," Alice told me. "She told me that she doesn't have a name for her compositions like you do. She said that she never knows what to name it. Why don't you name it for her?"
I nodded thoughtfully. "Will she mind?"
"I don't think so," Alice said. "She keeps calling it by numbers. She'll probably be glad to call it something other than number one. Oh, and she said she has an unfinished composition in here 'cause she got bored halfway. Number ten, I think it was."
I stopped playing and found number ten. It had a nice beginning like the other one, but I could tell exactly where she started to get bored. I smiled, getting an idea for the rest of the music. I grabbed a pencil and crossed off ten measures, starting from the point where Bella had gotten bored.
"What are you doing?" Alice wondered.
"Composing?" I asked innocently, starting to draw the notes in. "I think I'm going to finish this."
Alice smiled. "Good idea. Oh, and she definitely got annoyed when she saw you were the top donator."
I laughed. "Told you she would. At least she's second."
"Yeah, well…" Alice jumped off. "I'm going. I'll see you later. Bye, Edward."
I merely grunted, immersed in my work.
