"It appears that I was wrong about you Mrs. Hale. Congratulations. You got the part." I let out a little squeal and threw my arms around Edward again. "Don't forget to turn out the lights when your done." Mrs. Keyes called as she left, for good this time.

I walked into the office and went up to Mrs. Gervais. " Excuse me but do you know if Mrs. Keyes is still in building 2?"
"I'm not sure dear you'll have to go check." I nodded and left the office. I ran through the rain and made my way to building 2. I saw Mrs. Keyes outside near the door. "Mrs. Keyes!"
She turned around. "Yes Edward ?"
"Look Mrs. Keyes I don't think Bella should be the understudy she is way better th-"
"Oh not you to dear." I frowned what did she mean. She must have read my face because she answered the question that was running through my mind. "I just had a talk with Miss Hale and she understands." "What if I proved that you were wrong ?" "I'm afraid Edward that the time for chances has long passed."
"Well what ever you think I know that you are wrong and if you'd just let me show you!"
"I'm sorry dear but it's getting late your partner is Tanya who I have cast. Good bye Mr. Cullen." I shook my head and went through the doors anyway.
I took off my coat as I walked down the aisle. "Hey" she said weakly. I responded with a hey and did not smile . "Bella I want you to sing for me."
"Why? I have ' no musical talent'" I frowned, "Bella trust me, just sing please." I was hoping that Mrs. Keyes stayed and even if she didn't I still had an excuse to hear my ange- whoa back up there Edward. Still have the excuse to hear my friend sing. I made my way to the piano and started to play Cruella DeVil. Before the first verse was over I heard a light click as the doors behind us closed . Yes! Bella didn't notice Mrs. Keyes enter, she was into the song to much to really notice anything. I was impressed she was a very entertaining performer. She let herself go, she was born for this. She looked so natural. And beautiful. She even came and sat down beside me as she finished. I finished playing the last few cords, and my hands slipped off the keys as I stopped. My eyes kept gazing at her eyes and lips. I leaned in and hugged her. Just as we broke away we could hear clapping from behind us in the stands. Mrs. Keyes. She stood up and began to talk to Bella, " It appears I was wrong about you Miss Hale. Congratulations. You got the part." Bella let out a little squeal and threw her arms around me. I hugged her back and laughed. " Don't forget to turn the lights off when your done." Then she walked out the doors.
Me and Bella were alone. We finally pulled away, but not completely. We held each others hands, and she leaned in and kissed my cheek. " Thank you Edward." She got up, left the stage put on her jacket and walked to the doors. She opened one and just before she disappeared, she turned around. " Edward. I'm glad you made me sing." And then she was gone.
*******************
It was drama first block and the new and improved play role sheet was up on the class bulletin. I smiled as I walked past it. I sat down next to Carlisle, Esme and Bella. Me and Bella smiled at each other. Just then Tanya walked in. She saw me and came right up to me. She giggled then said, "Oh Edward, you know, we should really practice the kissing scene after school, at lunch or even right now."
"Wait why am I kissing you?" Bella giggled and I smirked. " Because silly," she hit my chest, " The two leads have to kiss during the play."
"Oh, so then I should be kissing Bella." I turned toward Bella and made kissy faces. Esme, Carlisle and Bella burst out laughing. Tanya on the other hand did not find this at all humorous. "What, why Bella? I'm the lead remember it says right here." She walked over to the bulletin. The whole class who had witnessed our exchanged gathered around Tanya. "NOOOOOOOOO! YOU !" she turned to Bella. "YOU RUINED MY PLAN ! I AM SUPOSSED TO BE THE LEAD YOU .. YOU . BITCH. THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN LEAD BECAUSE I..."
"You what Miss. Denali?" everyone turned around to find Mrs. Keyes in the doorway. "BECAUSE I SWITCHED THE DAMN MICS SO SHE WOULD SOUND HORRIBLE!!!" everyone gasped and turned toward Mrs. Keyes. All she did was nod. "Detention Miss. Denali. For a month and you are no longer the understudy. I will not have behavior like this in my play. You are out of the play. For good." Tanya's mouth hung open and she ran out of the class room.
I knew she had something to do with it. She is of course vain. But what happened next surprised me. Bella ran after Tanya. Wow, could that girl ever stop amazing me ?

"Tanya, Tanya ! Wait." I ran after my cousin.
"What are you doing here?" She looked past my shoulder. "Your friends aren't coming Tanya, there too busy throwing themselves at Edward. And I'm here because we're family and as much as you hate me you can't change that." She gave me a smile but tears were rolling down her cheeks. "And I'm sorry that I took away your role Tanya, I didn't know that Edward had asked Mrs. Keyes to listen to me when I was just goofing around. And if it helps I'll talk to Mrs. Keyes maybe we could make up a new character so you can be in it, you really have a great voice Tanya. And as much as you may not want to hear it you won't always get lead or what you want, you'll just have to get used to that." Tanya smiled at me and took a step forward. She embraced me and I did not reject her, sure she did some really crude things to me but I could never reject family. I hugged her back and I let her cry on my shoulder. It kinda felt nice, I haven't felt this close to my cousin since we were 5. I saw Edward coming around the corner. And with my eyes I told him to go back to class. His eyes widened as he saw me and my cousin in an embrace, but got the message and returned to class. After a few more minutes Tanya pulled away and smiled at me. She gave me one more quick hug and whispered a 'Thank you' " you didn't have to do that, but I'm glad it was you that followed me out here." I smiled and it felt genuine, not forced. WE walked back to class and as we entered, Tanya's so called friends ignored her. We went up to them and Tanya tried to talk to them, " Ugh Tanya look your pretty and all but your to pretty. Sorry but we can't hang out with anymore especially after that scene." I got mad, " Your loss Lauren, come on Tanya let's leave."
"Some friends," Tanya whispered more to herself." Now I have no one, I've been such a horrible person."
"No you don't Tanya, you've still got me. And I'm sure that with time Carlisle and Edward will warm up to you too."
"Bella how can you say that?" We had stopped walking. "Say what?"
"That I'm your friend? I treated you the worst, I don't deserve to have you as a friend Bella. Your so kind and forgiving and I'm cruel and vain and many other horrible things." I laughed. "Tanya people change and I've known you since birth, we grew up together. You know me better than anyone else. Your my friend. So deal with it." I smiled and we both laughed. She hugged me again and we continued walking toward Esme, Edward and Carlisle. Once we reached them Esme smiled, Edward looked pissed off and Carlisle looked neutral. "Okay well I would officially like to start over and introduce you to my cousin and friend Tanya Denali. Tanya this is Edward, Esme and Carlisle."
"Hi." Tanya sounded shy. Esme on the other hand, " Hi Tanya !" Esme also threw in a hug. Since Esme seemed fine with her Carlisle warmed up to her too. "Hello Tanya. I am Carlisle, Esme's boyfriend." She smiled at Carlisle. And then it was Edward's turn. He still wore a grimace. "Okay.... Edward, Tanya, Tanya, Edward." Edward still did not smile. "Excuse me." I smiled and pulled Edward away. We went to a far corner. "Edward." I hissed. "Be nice !"
"I'll try." I smiled "Thank you." We went back to my friends and we pretty much talked for the rest of the class. Edward stayed silent.
*******************
It was lunch time and Edward still hadn't warmed up to Tanya. I don't get it why was he so resentful? I'd have to talk to him. I closed my locker and was surprised to see Tanya there. "Hey!" She greeted me . "Hey." I replied. "Look Bella maybe I shouldn't sit with you guys for lunch."
"Why Tanya?" I frowned. Edward. "Well Edward doesn't really like me and I don't want him to feel uncomfortable."
"No Tanya your fine. Eat with us I'll talk to him."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." I nodded, "Okay but I just have to go get something from my car I'll meet you here 'Kay?
Once again I nodded and walked into the cafeteria. I saw them already sitting at our table. I made our way over and I saw Edward smile for the first time since Drama. I sat down.
"Finally she's not here." I turned to Edward. "What?"
"The bitch."
"She's not a bitch Edward! She's my cousin."
"Yeah she is but look at the things she's done to you how can you forgive her?"
"Can you just try and be nice?"
"I can't Bella. Not after what she's done to you." We were talking in loud whispers.
"Why not I have!"
"Yeah you have and I think thats your problem. You forgive too easy, you cave in to everyone. You can't say no. Your weak!" I cringed, that hurt. Tears started to form.
"What are you saying? Either she goes or you go, taking our friendship with you?"
"Thats exactly what I'm saying!"
"Now choose me or her!"
"Wow your actually making me choose between you."
"Choose Bella!"
"I can't choose Edward ! Real friends don't make each other choose between two people who they are close to!"By now we were yelling and the whole cafeteria was watching our fight.
"How can you not choose after what she did too you!"
"She's my cousin Edward I can't just leave her when she needs me!
"So is that your decision? The bitch over me?" He was whispering now.
" No I've made my decision. I'm choosing the person who was actually trying to be nice. And who wouldn't make me choose. So yes Edward I've made my decision."
With that I left the cafeteria. Tanya was standing in the hall way. A few traitor tears fell down my cheeks. "Bella ! Whats wrong?" She stopped me in the hallway. I'll tell you later 'kay I haven't had the best day." She nodded and I left to my car. I got in and drove home leaving my friendship with Edward behind me. Once again only knowing him as a jerk.
*******************
Tanya got home and came straight up to my room. I was lying in my bed but I sat up as she entered. I smiled weakly. She had a worried look on her face. "Edward came up to me today after lunch. He asked me if I was happy? I am so confused please tell me what happened."
I nodded I moved over so she could sit down on the bed next to me. I told her everything, starting from in drama when I talked with to our argument in the cafeteria.
"And then I told him that I made my decision and I walked out. And then I saw you in the hall." I was crying full out now. "It's all my fault!I tried to force him to being your friend. I am a terrible person."
"no your not Bella I'll just have to live with the fact that as much as I want Edward to like me and be my friend I learned that I can't always have things my way." We smiled at each other.
"I always knew you were stubborn, I never knew you listened to me." We laughed.
"What you said really affected me Bella, it made me see things from a different perspective. I hugged her and she dug in her pocket for her cell. She dialed a number and put the phone to her ear. "Esme? Yeah hey it's Tanya. Yeah. Okay. See you soon." She closed the phone. "What are you up to?"
"It's Friday evening and we have nothing to do. WE'RE GOING SHOPPING!!" Oh no!

I got home from school and went straight up to my room. I looked out my window and saw Bella and Tanya. Bella was crying and Tanya was hugging her. Tanya pulled out her cell and talked for about a minute. She hung up and her and Bella laughed. I turned around and went down stairs I slammed my door behind me and made my way to the kitchen. My mom sat there drinking coffee. I sat down and poured myself a cup. I didn't care if I hated it I was going to drink it .
"Edward what's wrong? Your drinking coffee."
"So?" I growled. "You hate coffee." She took another sip.
"I don't care!"
"Honey tell me what has got you so worked up?"
I sighed but I started, " Well it all happened in drama when Tanya found out she wasn't lead anymore." I continued on. As I went on my mother started to frown.
"And she chose Tanya over me mom ! After everything that she did to her!" I finished.
"Hun don't you think it was unfair of you to make her choose? I mean it's her cousin! And you didn't even try to be friends with Tanya. Maybe you should apologize." I nodded thanks mom. I got up and got the phone. I dialed the Hales' number. On the second ring someone picked up.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Who is this?" The other voice asked. Tanya.
"It's Edward from the house beside you. Is Bella there I need to talk to her." I heard whispering.
"I'm sorry Edward she doesn't want to talk to you."
"It's okay thanks anyways." I lied it was not okay. I hung up with a click.
"Well ?" Asked Rosalie.
"She said she didn't want to talk to me." I mumbled.
"Sorry to say Hun but thats' what you get for screwing things up. I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way."
I grunted, put my cup down and grabbed my keys.
I got in my car and drove to Carlisles'.
Wow things definately started to heat up eh?
