Chapter 2
APOV
I was excited to spend the day with my sister. She technically wasn't my sister, but she was my brother's girlfriend and my best friend. I think a day chilling would be more fun for the anti-fashion Bella. I just wanted her to be happy today. She's not used to being without Edward. I was going to make today perfect. We reached the house in less than 10 minutes. I parked my car in our garage. Bella climbed out from the passenger's side and followed me into the house. She sat down on one of the white couches in the living room. "What DVD do you want to watch?" I asked her. "I don't mind. I would just be happy spending time with you." She responded. She definately was one of a kind. Hanging out with blood thirsty vampires by choice. "Go ahead and choose one while I make some popcorn." I told her and walked to the kitchen. I came minutes later to see Bella sitting on the three seater couch. I sat down beside her and pushed 'play' on the DVD remote. I handed her the bowl of popcorn. I wasn't even sure which DVD she chose because I was too busy staring at her fragile frame. She was so breakable. Her skin was like silk streched over glass. The tiniest crack could shatter her entire being. It scared the death out of me.
Before I knew it, the DVD was over. I clicked the 'stop' button and ejected the DVD from the player. "What do you want to watch next? Or do you you wanna do something else?" Her brow furrowed up in consentration. "I was wondering..." she started. I knew what the question was before she even asked me. I took her hand and pulled her up from the couch. I lead her over to the grand piano in the centre of the living room. I sat down on the stool and she sat down next to me.

Of course she knew the question I was going to ask before I asked it. That was the advantage of having a psycic as a best friend. She knew what I would say before I had to speak it. Her small hands gracefully glided across the piano keys. I can't believe I doubted that she could play. She was a vampire after all... Her melody started out as a happy and light one. Her fingers moved over the keys so gently it was as if she wasn't even touching them. She slowed down and changed the melody. It was heart breaking. The chords were so dissonant and meloncholly. Who knew the peppy vampire had such a sad side to her. I watched her careful. Her eyes closed as she felt the music flow through her soul. A tear rolled down my cheek at the sight. She was too perfect to comprehend at that moment. I leaned my head against her shoulder as she continued to play. She ended the melody to soon. I could have sat for hours listening to it. "Don't stop..." I said to her. My voice was only slightly louder than a whisper. My cheeks were glistening from the tears that refused to stop flowing. She put her hands on both sides of my face and wiped the tears away with her thumbs."Don't cry, Bella." She whispered to me. "It was so sad. You play beautifully." I said back to her. "You were the inspiration for that piece. I poured all my concern and fear for you into the melody. My life would be like that if anything were to happen to you."Her words took my breath away. Alice really cared for me as if I were her own sister. At that moment, I knew an unspoken promise had been made. This vampire, sweet Alice, was prepared to go to any length to prevent that melody from coming true. I pray that that day will never come...
Hope you are enjoying it so far. I'm really enjoying writing it.
