Bella's POV

Edward shot an icy glare at Mike, who had just slid into Edward's vacated spot next to me.

"So, what'd you think of my song?" Mike asked, sounding so full of himself that I was worried that he might explode.

"It was…" I paused searching for a word that would tell him I didn't enjoy it, but also not be very rude, "interesting." His face fell a little bit, but I turned my attention to the stage area, where Edward was clicking through the buttons on the CD player to find the right song.

The music started, sounding like a gate being opened in a ceremony or something, and then Edward's velvet voice filled the room as he started to sing.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you're far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
every moment spent with you,
Is a moment I treasure

I tried to listen to the lyrics as much as his voice, but both sounded so perfect that my attention strayed between them many times. The song was beautiful, and I couldn't help but wonder if Edward wrote this himself. The words were all things he would say, or do, and considering he did watch me sleep all the time, it was even more perfect.

I don't wanna close my eyes,
I don't wanna fall asleep,
'Cause I'd miss you, baby,
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
'Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,
I'd still miss you, baby,
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I could feel the tears starting in my eyes. Mike tried to put his arm around me, but I pushed it back at him, for once not caring about his feelings at all, and not letting my eyes wonder from my angel. Edward was looking directly at me, not caring who saw, or what they thought. Our eyes were locked and everything else in the room, in the world for that matter, disappeared. It was as if he was singing only for me, and as if we were the only two people who could hear him.

Lying close to you,
Feeling your heart beating,
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you're seeing,
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together,
And I just wanna stay with you,
In this moment forever, forever and ever,

I really believed that he wrote this! It was like he was describing everything that he felt when he watched me sleep, and a few of the tears I'd been suppressing fell over the edge and spilled down my cheeks. Mike tried to put his arm around me again, but Alice walked over, and poked him out of the seat. She sat next to me, pulling me over to lean on her, patting my back softly.

I didn't even know why I was crying, but the tears continued to run slowly down my cheeks. This was so perfect. Edward's voice, the song, Alice comforting me, everything! I wondered again how I could deserve such an angel, who would sing for me, in front of dozens of people and not look away from me the entire time.

I don't wanna miss one smile,
I don't wanna miss one kiss,
I just wanna be with you,
Right here with you, just like this,
I just wanna hold you close,
Feel your heart so close to mine,
And just stay here in this moment,
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes,
Don't wanna fall asleep,
'Cause I'd miss you, baby,
And I don't wanna miss a thing,
'Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do,
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby,
And I don't wanna miss a thing

A/N: Skipping one verse, it's basically the last verse agian

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah

I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing

Edward finished his song, and headed strait for me. Alice got up again, smiling at me without saying a word and wove through the humans, back to her place with Jasper, while Edward took me onto his lap, smoothing my hair away from my face.

"Are you alright, love?" He whispered in my ear, as the applause for him started to very slowly die down.

"Yes." I sniffled, wiping away the few tears remaining on my face. "Did you write that?" I asked him, laughing slightly because he had asked me the same question.

"No. But I wish I had." He kissed my forehead softly. "I love you, Bella."

"I love you, too." I murmured back.

The applause finally stopped, and Jessica stood up again to draw the next name.

"The next person to go is…" she unfolded the scrap, "ME!!!!!!!!" she jumped up and down a few times, which I thought was stupid, since she was on a tall chair in the middle of the room.

She waltzed up to the big album, flipping through it quickly. Since the album itself was hers she found what she was looking for very quickly, and pulled it out with a flourish.

She stepped up to the designated stage area, tapping the microphone to make sure it worked.

A/N: The song was 'I don't wanna miss a thing' or 'I don't wanna close my eyes' by Aerosmith. You've GOT to listen to it! It's PERFECT for them. Minus the few semi-screaming parts.

Reviews make me happy. You want a happy author, right?
