A/N: Well, here's chapter 5! I made it longer, that's what took so long.

A/N2: Please don't tear this one apart, it's my favorite chapter and I'm very proud of it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

We cannot separate your part of me

The sisters were constantly taking me to music and book stores. Being up 24/7 got boring after a while.

In a couple of months, I had the entire Debussy collection, both Linkin Park CDs, amongst many other CDs. Katherine introduced me to Evanescence, Vanessa Carlton, and Michelle Branch. Deborah introduced me to The All-American Rejects, Green Day, and My Chemical Romance. Rachel introduced me to Relient K, Switchfoot, and Hoobastank. I had quite the CD collection.

I burned a CD comprised of my favorites of each of the other CDs. It had mostly Evanescence, but that described my mood most of the time anyway.

One day, after school, I had finished my ever-so-easy-because-I've-done-this-before-homework, and I was listening to "A Thousand Miles." I was lying on my couch, thinking of the first time Edward and I were in the meadow. Our meadow.

I was so caught up in the music, I didn't even notice someone come in.

"Bella?"

I ignored her.

"Bella!"

It sounded urgent, so I opened my eyes, the memories interrupted.

"Oh, it stopped."

"What stopped Deborah?"

"The images."

"What images?"

"There were images filling this room, images of you and the bronze-haired boy, Edward, in a meadow."

"Our meadow. Wait, you saw that? That's what I was remembering!" More like dwelling.

"You were remembering that! Ooh! Can we see if you can do it again?"

"I guess."

She put in my Evanescence CD. "Bring Me to Life" filled the room.

I closed my eyes, trying to think of something to remember.

For no apparent reason, memories of that awful day in the ballet studio filled my mind.

I tried to open my eyes, but I was frozen in the memories.

"Turn it off!" I screamed.

The music stopped, I could move again.

"Whoa, that must have been painful."

I simply nodded, trying to rid myself of the memory.

"Here, let's try a different song, maybe it'll clear up the bad memory."

"Going Under" filled the room.

I remembered the time my Edward left me, for that last time. It wasn't as if I was just seeing it third-person, no, I was reliving my Edward leaving me.

I opened my eyes.

The memory continued.

I was seeing it happen again, I was witnessing it again. I could feel every pang of anger toward Billy, I could feel every pang of sadness that Edward was leaving me. I could feel every tear run down my cheek, even though I can cry no more.

"Turn it off!" I screamed once again.

"You opened your eyes and it continued, did you see that?"

I nodded in shock.

"One more song. I know this one will help."

I couldn't object. Deborah was the persuasive one.

It was "My Immortal."

Memories of Edward in general filled my mind and the room around me. I opened my eyes to live them. The images kept changing, Edward and I making eye-contact in the cafeteria, Edward and I in biology, Edward rescuing me from Tyler's van, Edward and I on the blood testing day, Edward rescuing me from those guys in Port Angeles, Edward revealing that he's a vampire, Edward and I in the meadow, Edward and I at prom. Edward. And. I.

When the chorus came up I began to sing along, the images intensified one-hundred times over.

I didn't stop when the rest entered the room. I kept singing until the end.

When the music ended, Katherine asked, "What was that?"

"Her gift." Deborah answered simply.

And though you're invisible

It was later that night.

"The question is, can she recreate memories that aren't hers?" Robert was saying.

"I don't know." I said. I really didn't want to try, but I didn't see a way out of it, so I bout as well go along.

"Maybe if we put in a song that describes one of us, and think really hard of a vivid memory, she'll recreate it." Katherine said.

"Worth a try." Laura said.

Katherine put in a CD. "Try to keep your mind blank of your own memories." She said. The song was "Hello" by Evanescence.

Katherine closed her eyes, obviously thinking of a vivid memory.

Suddenly I was someone else, memories that weren't mine filled my mind.

I was at a hospital, all I could feel was intense hunger. Robert came over to me and sunk his teeth into my neck. Fire shot through my veins. He wrapped me in a blanket and carried me away.

"STOP IT!" I screamed. "Of all the memories, why that one?"

"Sorry, it was just my most vivid memory."

"Can I have a turn?" Deborah asked.

"Go ahead."

She switched tracks to "Whisper."

More memories that weren't mine filled my mind.

I was surrounded by fire, I wandered around trying to escape it. Smoke filled my lungs. I screamed for someone to rescue me, but no one came. I sunk to the ground, preparing to die. Katherine appeared before me, "Come on. Let's get out of here." She picked me up as if I were nothing and carried me out of the fire.

I lay on a couch, Robert leaned over me. "She isn't going to make it; there is too much smoke in her lungs and these burns on her skin do not help."

The music stopped. "Sorry," Deborah said, "I'm not sure what made me think of that one, it was just so vivid! I stopped it before the worst part."

"Thank you."

"Can I go?" Rachel asked.

"Go on."

She switched tracks to "Tourniquet."

Once again, memories that were not mine filled my mind.

I was singing along to the radio in the backseat. My father was driving, my mother sitting next to him. All of a sudden, our car was smashed between to other very large things. My parents were dead, I lay dying in a pool of my own blood. I screamed for someone to help me. Katherine appeared over me, "Come on. Let's get you somewhere safe."

The music stopped. "I stopped it before the fire." Rachel said.

I nodded. It didn't surprise me that their most vivid memories were those before their change.

"Can I go now?" I pleaded.

"Yes, go ahead." Laura said.

I'll trust the unseen.

I couldn't go back to my room. I wandered down the hallway past my room. Laura had said that I could explore the house whenever I felt like it. Well, I felt like it now. I was just trying to shake the awful memories that still filled my mind.

I stopped at the end of the hallway, there was a set of giant double doors there. They were closed, but not locked. I opened one of them out of curiosity, I opened it to find a grand piano sitting on the other side.

I could almost see Edward sitting on the bench playing my lullaby. If I could cry, I'd be weeping by now.

I heard footsteps behind me. Laura came up to me and asked, "Do you play?"

I shook my head. "Edward did."

"Do you want me to teach you?"

I nodded.

I cried out with no reply

Every night after that, Laura made it a point to give me piano lessons.

About a year later, I was just as good as her. I proved to be a fast learner. When I was bored of the music she had, I would listen to a song from one of my CDs over and over and over again and write out the music for it.

And I can't feel you by my side

It was two years to the date that Victoria had taken me away from home.

I had started college in Alaska and was home for the summer.

Everyone begged me to put on a performance of music.

I agreed and went to my room to find the best songs for said performance.

I picked out "Claire de Lune," it reminded me of Edward. I hadn't given up looking for him. I had searched both the United States and Canada. I was planning to go to Europe next week to look. The Sarido's supported me.

Next, I pulled out "My Immortal." This, too, reminded me of Edward.

Then I pulled out "Whisper" and "Taking Over Me."

Finally, I pulled out "A Thousand Miles." I had a special liking for that song because it awakened my gift.

I went to the front room. They had moved the piano there in my absence. I sat the music down and prepared to play.

So I'll hold tight to what I know

"You can't play in that!" Katherine shrieked. "You need to be properly dressed!"

I looked down at my jeans and T-shirt. I mentally searched my closet for something special.

"I'll be right back."

I went into my room and put on the graduation dress that hadn't been worn in two years.

(A/N3: I purposely left out the description of the dress so you can imagine it as you like.)

I walked back to the piano and heard Katherine mutter, "Much better."

I began to play. I started with "Claire de Lune." When that was done I went on to "My Immortal." I sang along with that one. I sang along with "Whisper" and "Taking Over Me" as well. I moved on to "A Thousand Miles" and sang along as loud as I could, letting the memories overtake me.

When I was done, everyone clapped. "Encore! Encore!"

I smiled, "I'm not done."

I placed my hands on the keys and played the one song that I had never practiced. But I had heard it so many times I knew it by heart. I played my lullaby.

When I was done, I stood and they clapped even more.

"Who wrote that?" Laura asked

"Edward."

"Play it again!" Rachel squealed.

I decided to humor her and sat down, ready to play.

The melody started, but I was not playing it.

It was coming from the entryway.

I froze. "Edward" I said.

He stepped out of the darkness of the entryway.

I stood up and ran to him.

Ran in my stiletto heels, without tripping.

I fell into his arms and he embraced me.

He tilted my face up to look me in the eye.

"So it's true then."

I nodded. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? I'm the one who let you go. We left Alaska to return to Forks. But you were already gone. I could not track you. Victoria disguised the scent. She disguised her actions from Alice. She hid her thoughts from me. It's one of her gifts, she has many."

"It is by chance that I find you here, Carlisle wanted to invite you to a hunting trip, but that just might have to be postponed."

"Take her to your family." Robert said. "It's where she belongs. Just make sure she comes back for her things."

"Thank you for rescuing her. You don't know what this means to me."

"I rescue people. It's what I do." Katherine stated.

Edward smiled and picked me up.

"You look very beautiful. And you play beautifully as well." He kissed my neck and we were off. I didn't even mind the speed.

You're here and I'm never alone

A/N4: Well, there it was, hope you liked it. Don't worry, it's not over yet. There's one more chapter.
