Karaoke night! Chapter 8: Jasper's song, a twilight fanfic

Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight AND all the songs I'm using, I would be freakin' RICH! But I'm not…so I don't…

Edward's POV

The music for Jasper's song started, telling me immediately what it was. I had to admit, Jasper's song was a good one. I'd heard it many times, but never quite been able to picture it in any real situations. Now I could. This song represented everything that Alice was to Jasper.

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin'

I'm fallin'

When Alice had found Jasper, he had been a non-vegetarian vampire, but she had saved him, helped him to become a better person, a person he could actually live with being.

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

I looked sideways at Alice, who was looking at Jasper as if he was the only one in the whole room, and he was looking back at her with the same intensity burning in his eyes.

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin'

I'm falln'

Hurry I'm fallin'

Jasper's voice was similar to Alice's and everyone in the room was paying close attention, mesmerized by this strange, beautiful voice.

And all I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin'

I'm fallin'

Hurry I'm fallin'

And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me.

As the song ended with a melody of piano keys, jasper's gaze locked onto Alice's again, telling her with his eyes how much he loved her. I looked away, feeling like an invader involved in their personal eye-messages.

The applause went on for a few moments more, finally dieing out as Jessica stood up again, removing the last name from the ratty-old hat.

"And the final person concluding tonight's Karaoke blow-out is…" She opened the paper quickly, taking a peek, and then shutting it again, waiting until people started shouting out 'who!' to finally proclaim "Rosalie!"

Rosalie rose gracefully, pulling a cd out of her pocket as she walked up to the cd player. She shoved the cd into the player, saying over her shoulder to Jessica "I don't think you'd have the song I want."

She rose up onto the stage positioning herself in front of the machine with the lyrics on it. The music started and I groaned internally.

Rosalie played this song all the time at home, annoying everyone but Emmett, and I felt sure that he didn't know that she had selected this song. She'd sung this in front of human males once before and half of them had followed her around for a month, trying to impress her. Emmett had not been happy and I doubt he would this time either.

A/N: Song is 'Saving Me' by Nickelback. Awesome song!
