I don't own Twilight, iPod, or Hawk Nelson. I do own an iPod. And Hawk Nelson songs on my iPod. so yeah

"Bella!" Alice's voice sang out as she burst open the front door to my house.

"What?" I asked weakly. I knew this was going to be torture.

Alice stomped her way up to my room, where I was.

"Get your iPod and come on!"

"Come on where?"

"My house. Come on! Quickly! Let's go!"

I sighed and grabbed my iPod, following Alice out of my house.

I opened the passenger door to her Porsche and got in and she sped away quickly.

A few short minutes later, we arrived at her house and got out of the car.

"Come on Bella!" She grabbed my hand and yanked me forward, running up to the door where we burst in and Alice announced our presence.

"Sorry to keep you waiting so long!" Edward, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme were all waiting in the living room. Jasper and Emmett looked happy, Rosalie looked bored, and Edward looked pained. Uh-oh. This can't be good.

"Karaoke time!" Alice sang out.

"Oh no. No, Alice. Please, no."

"You have to, Bella. Oh look, you even brought your iPod! That means you want to." She stuck her tongue out at me.

How did I get dragged into this? I thought as I sat down next to Edward.

"I'm really sorry about this," he said, slipping his arm around my waist.

"Okay, since it was my idea, I get to go first! Bella, give me your iPod." I relunctantly handed over my iPod and watched as she searched through the music.

"Ooh! This song. Okay, Bella. I need a singing partner. We're gonna do a duet!" She looked at me expectantly.

I groaned. "Do I have to?"

"Yes, you have to."

I looked at Edward. 'Sorry,' he mouthed and shrugged. I sighed and walked over to Alice.

"Alice, you know you're supposed to have a karaoke machine, right? We can't just listen to the song on my iPod and sing it."

"What, do you think this is my first time karaoke-ing? I'm hurt, Bella. Deeply hurt. I know we need a karaoke machine. I got a super-special one! You plug your iPod into it and it knows what song is playing and it filters out the words so you can sing to the instrumental version, and it displays the words on our tv."

I sighed. Of course she had to go get a special fancy one.

"What song are we singing?"

"Mm, I was thinking, 'Zero'?"

I groaned. Why, Alice? Why?

She hooked up my iPod to her karaoke machine and handed me a microphone. She pressed the Play button.

"I'll nudge you when it's your turn to sing," she whispered as the intro started.

Alice began singing.

"Your life dreams are shattered, now you're gone away. We've cried here for hours. And the hours turned to days," she nudged me.

"We know you regret this, leaving us here. With portraits and memories that we've held so dear. When I hear your name, it's not the same. No matter what they say, I'm not okay."

Alice joined in with me for the chorus.

"And we started at zero and went different ways. Now we're all out here wasting away. And if we started at zero, then how did things change? Seems like just yesterday, we were the same."

Alice left off, leaving me to sing the next verse.

"It's been three month since he left us. So far, nothing's been the same. And my question without answer is: Am I the one to blame?"

Alice nudged me and took over.

"He was such a good description of a favored future man. He spoke well of other people, and they said the same for him." She nudged me again.

"When I hear your name, it's not the same. No matter what they say, I'm not okay." I stopped singing and let Alice take the chorus.

"And we started at zero and went different ways. Now we're all out here wasting away. And if we started at zero, then how did things change? Seems like just yesterday we were the same." The music changed as it approached the monlogue part, the part that made me cry sometimes. As the music played, Alice whispered to me that I would take the first half and she'd nudge me when it was her turn.

"They say they're sorry, well what are they sorry for? How could they possibly know what I was going through? I feel like no one's ever had to deal with this pain that I'm dealing with right now." Alice nudged me and took over.

"Just six months ago, everything was fine. Or so it seemed. What turn of events caused him to go down the hill? His parents are devastated, his girlfriend's depressed. What was he thinking?!" As she sang the last two sentences, she glanced at Edward and back at me. I wasn't supposed to see, but I did. Oh. Now I understood. She was thinking this song related to when he left me. It kind of does, if you have the right person sining the right part. And she had done that, made sure I sang the parts that would relate to me. Oh, you're a crafty one, Alice.

"And we started at zero and went different ways, now we're all out here wasting away. And if we started at zero, then how did things change? Seems like just yesterday, we were the same. We were the same. We were the same." I finished the song.

"Yay!" Alice hugged me and started bouncing up and down.

"We make a great singing team! Now, who's next?" Emmett started to jump up from his seat, but Alice called Jasper's name.
Looks like Jasper, Alice, and Emmett were the only ones who truly wanted to sing karaoke.

I sat back down next to Edward.

"You did great," he whispered to me as he played with my hair. I smiled and blushed as I turned to watch Jasper.

Ooh yeah! A cliffie! lol. don't worry, i'll make everyone sing. or almost everyone, anyway. i just wanted Alice and Bella to sing 'Zero' cause, the parts that Bella sings, really are like her POV from when he left... you know? I hope it wasn't confusing. If so, I'm sorry! and 'Zero' truly is a great song. Buy it for your iPod! :D lol. Don't forget to review!
