Any who anyone who has seen the movie Twilight like you Americans please tell me is it good! I'm in Australia and can't see it until 10th of December which sucks balls :( SOOOOO PLEASE if you love me tell me!

BELLA P.O.V

'The music room,' I asked unsure. I held Edward's hand as he dragged me down the many paths straight to the school.

'Yes,' he said.

'What are you showing me in the music room,' I was beyond curious.

'Patience,' was all he answered me with.

I frowned as we stopped in front of the glass doors. It was dark inside and no one was there, I tried the doors but it was locked.

'Umm, how are we going to get in, I don't think breaking and entering will look good on my already pretty crappy record.'

He laughed lightly and pulled something out of his pocket. 'Silly Bella, I came prepared.'

He held up some keys and jingled them at me 'You have the key to the music room?'

'Yep.'

'How,' I asked completely speechless.

'One of my many talents,' he shrugged as the door clicked unlock.

He flick on a couple of lights as we entered but I still managed to trip on a random cord in the middle of know where and fall on the ground. I rolled over to see Edward leaning down concerned.

'Ow,' I croaked.

He grabbed my hands and pulled me up in one gentle motion, this time not letting me go. 'I'm amazed you didn't get hit by a bus when I was gone,' he muttered.

I glared at him but he ignored me and carefully led me to the piano.

'So what did you want to show me,' I asked again.

He sat down on the bench next to me staring down at the keys. 'Well when you left I was really depressed and couldn't express how I felt because I refused to talk to anyone about it. It wasn't until I found Esme and Carlisle's piano that I started getting better both emotionally and physically.'

'I don't understand,' I said slowly.

He sighed and with out any hesitation began to play a soft melody that I had never heard before. I stared down and noticed his hand slowly drift over the keys he wasn't even watching as he answered me again.

'I found I could express myself in notes I always knew faintly how to play the piano but I decided I wanted to play again, I practiced whenever I was alone and no one else was home. I began to compose my own melodies, it helped me escape, and it helped me rid myself of some emotions.'

I gaped at him. He seemed perfectly at ease as he played, as if it came as a second nature to him, like walking or breathing.

'When I saw you play the other day and sing for that matter I was stoked I knew I could tell you about it,' he shrugged.

'So know one else knows,' I repeated.

He shook his head.

'Why wouldn't you tell them?'

He shrugged again and didn't answer. We stayed in silence as he finished up the song only to go on playing a rather familiar one from Beethoven.

'What was that one called?'

He looked at me intensely then back to the keys 'It was your lullaby I made for you. I was hoping one day I could play it too you and well looks like I got my wish.'

I was shocked into silence 'Y-You made that for me?'

'Yes, I never stopped thinking about you Bella, you were always in my thoughts, and it pained me not seeing you.'

I felt tears well up in my eyes. 'That is the sweetest thing some one has ever…thank you Edward.'

I leaned over and gave him a hug.

'So tell me,' I began. 'Tell me about Esme and Carlisle?'

'They are nice,' he said. 'Esme I consider my mother now, she is so kind and loving and Carlisle is very laid back, he is a doctor you know at the hospital in town.'

I nodded my head telling him to continue I was intrigued to know about his life after he left.

'Actually to be honest besides you two other people do know I play the piano, Esme and Carlisle, they were very supportive too. I hope one day you will be able to met them, they would love you.'

I blushed at this and looked down. 'I don't know Edward.'

'Nonsense Bella, they practically know you already after I talked about you so much over the past years.'

I blushed harder, trust Edward to talk about me. I wonder what he said, I hope nothing embarrassing.

'I love that blush, I missed it a lot like you falling, and your laugh,' he commented.

I looked away hoping he didn't see me smile at that, my heart picked up double time, change the topic, I thought.

'So what was high school like? I mean I did go but I was never there long enough to get used to it,' I said looking back.

He sighed. 'It was okay, I found it pretty easy, the girls there were annoying though, flocking around me like I was some sort of candy they wanted,' he shivered. I laughed lightly at the image that popped into my head. 'I hope college will be different I want to be a doctor or a musician when I'm older.'

'So are you taking music?'

'Yes, I believe I am.'

I grinned 'We will be in the same class.'

He smiled at this too 'That makes life that little bit more bearable.'

I laughed at this 'Hey is any fan girls come your way I will be of no help, I like watching you suffer, it's quite amusing.'

He rolled his eyes and went to a different composition. A bit slower in pace, it relaxed me and I felt my eyes close. I still liked his first song, my lullaby best, there was something about it that called out to me.

'So what was it like in the orphanage after I left?' he asked. 'You were a bit vague at dinner ages ago, because of well the obvious reasons.'

I smiled slightly at how he stumbled over the right words; he was so kind and cute.

'It's okay you can say the incident or Jacob I won't break down. But it was a bit of a drag when ever I was at the orphanage if it wasn't for Angela I would have gone crazy.'

He turned slightly to me with a confused look 'Angela?'

'Oh yeah she came in a bit after you left, she was really quiet. She was my age I could relate to her, she helped me learn to sing, play instruments and backed me up. Besides you I could kind of open up to Angela never as much as I would do to you but she was very nice. She also helped me run away.'

He gave me another look 'I still don't like the fact you ran away.'

I shrugged 'Well it's in the past.'

'I'm curious what made you decided to sing?'

'The same thing that made you start to play the piano again.'

'Yourself,' he asked confused.

'No you idiot,' I chuckled pushing him. 'You, it helped me express my feelings to.'

I crossed my legs and leant closer to him 'Can I have a go?'

'Sure,' he shifted over. 'Can you sing me a song?'

I looked at him a bit nervous. But the look he gave me, the emotions in his eyes made me decide to give it a go.

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I looked over at him and saw him watching me intently.


I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I began to get really into the song, everything evaporated besides me and the piano, I even forgot Edward was there.


I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

'I learned that song after everything that happened with Jacob,' I murmured softly when I was finished.

I felt an arm pull me close 'Bella that was beautiful.'

I smiled slightly 'Thank you, so was your song, I loved it Edward.'

'What is going on in here,' I heard a voice say.

I didn't notice how close our faces were to each other until the voice cut threw our little personal bubble.

Edward looked over my head and his eyes widened slightly in surprise. I turned around to see a rather pissed off looking Tanya in the music room doorway.

'Edward, what are you two doing?' She said icily.

'N-Nothing,' I quickly put answered.

'Is your name Edward,' she snapped.

I closed my mouth and looked down, it wasn't a nasty comment but it still hurt.

'Tanya, calm down,' Edward said getting up.

Tanya just spun around and stormed out without another word. I heard a sigh behind me and turned to see Edward standing next to me. 'I'm going to go after her, will you be okay?'

'No, No go she is your girlfriend,' I reassured trying to hold back how I really felt.

He looked at me long and hard then got up swiftly and left. I was once again alone.

'Bella,' a soft voice called. I looked up afraid to see Tanya or Jacob or someone but instead saw Alice and Rosalie enter the room almost unsure.

'Hey guys,' I tried to smile but it didn't seem to come.

'Hey sweetie, we saw Tanya storm off, god that girl can over react,' Rosalie muttered.

'Yeah but we probably did look suss, she has a reason I mean she is his girl friend,' I tried to defend.

They just scoffed. 'Come on Bella were not stupid.'

I looked at them eye brows raised. 'Come again.'

'We know you and Edward are meant for each other,' Alice shrugged.

I somehow choked on the air I was breathing and began to have a coughing fit. Rosalie and Alice both hit me on the back.

'W-What' I asked.

'We saw the way you two look at each other and most of all we saw the way he ran after you when you ran out of the building, Bella you love him and he loves you.'

I looked at them waiting for them to laugh and say they fooled me but it never came.

'You guys are serious.'

They nodded and smiled sadly at me.

'Tanya and Edward never were an actual couple, they just got together because they could, not because of love. They weren't going to last anyway.'

'Do you know if Tanya likes anyone else,' I asked subtly.

They looked at each other and back to me. 'Umm we have a hunch.'

'And…'

'It's Joe,' they said at the same time.

I did a double take 'Woah, you serious.'

'Yeah why?' Alice asked.

'Joe has a thing for Tanya,' I practically yelled.

'Really,' Alice said.

'This could so work to our advantage,' Rosalie squealed. 'Oh My God this is a sign from God, I tell you.'

I had to laugh at Rose's sudden determination.

'What are you guys going to do?' I wondered out loud.

'The most obvious thing there is to do,' Rosalie said.

'Get them to want to break up with each other,' Alice finished.

'Then Tanya will go take comfort in Joe resulting in there love being announced and Edward can finally admit his feeling to you without being afraid of hurting the other persons feelings,' Rosalie proclaimed. 'It's utter genius really.'

I gaped at them in complete awe. 'You two are crazy.'

'But that is why you love us,' Alice grinned.

'The plan begins tomorrow and so do the rehearsals,' Rose told me.

'Rehearsals, rehearsals for what,' they had lost me again.

'The singing contest coming up silly,' Alice laughed. 'We need to find songs, and make up dance moves, oh and we can go shopping!'

I banged my head on the keys of the piano making an off key noise. 'Terrific.'

I heard them laugh 'I knew you would love that.'

I felt myself laugh along with them, the events that happened earlier becoming a distant memory. Jacob may be looking for me but with my friends by my side and Edward close by I might actually be able to handle facing him again, because I'm no longer alone anymore, and if I'm lucky I won't be ever again.
