Disclaimer: I only wish I owned Twilight… hmm if I owned Twilight wouldn't that mean that Edward would be mine? Hmmm…

A/N: Okay so sorry about the wait for an update (haha that rhymed!) But track practices started like 3 weeks ago and that along with school, homework, dance classes, softball practice, and I now found out that I have acid reflux, yeah not so fun. So I have had very little time to write. So, updates won't be too frequent but don't worry they will come.

On another note, I saw the Twilight movie!! On November 21, thank you very much. I loved it! I thought it was the best interpretation that they could have done, granted there were a couple scenes I didn't really like and the Cullens could have had a couple more lines but I think Nikki Reed did a wonderful job as Rosalie, she portrayed her perfectly and I can't wait for the New Moon Movie so yeah that was my review, now its your turn to read and review!

Chapter 12

It was a week later and I was still in awe from the date Edward and I had. Okay so I was still in awe of what happened after, but the date was pretty awesome too. Alice and Rosalie demanded the details later and I complied. I was "glowing" as they called it. I couldn't help it, I finally felt loved and I couldn't be happier.

Saturday morning I woke up to someone jumping on my bed. How rude. (a/n: from Full House! Love that show)

"BELLA! GET UP GET UP GET UP!" Alice screamed while basically straddling me. She was standing on my bed with a foot on either side of my body jumping up and down.

"Alice! Go away!!!!" I groaned as I tried to roll over. I was unsuccessful since she didn't give me any space to roll over.

"NO! We're going to breakfast so you need to get up!" She said while still jumping.

"What time is it?"

"7:15" I heard Rose growl from across the room in her bed. I heard her moving around in her bed exactly like I was trying.

"Rosalie Hale do not go back to sleep or so help me I will make you wish you got up the moment I said to!" Alice stopped jumping to yell at Rose. I took this opportunity to push Alice off of my bed so I could try and sleep more. I mean really 7:15 AM on a Saturday? Who does that? And we didn't exactly go to bed early last night, the boys had come over and we ended up playing truth or dare for 3 hours then watching Juno. It was a very late night. Plus the boys didn't get here until 9:30.

Alice squealed and I opened my eyes to see a very angry Alice standing in front of me. I smiled and rolled over and covered my head with my comforter. The next thing I knew I was holding on to nothing. Alice had pulled my comforter off. I heard a "Hey!" from across the room and knew immediately that Alice had taken Rose's too. Alice was no where to be found in the room, neither were our comforters, she was probably hiding them, and I quickly moved to take her comforter off the top bunk above mine.

I felt around but found nothing. This confused me. I finally stood up and looked at her bed. The comforter wasn't there. Damn pixie.

I saw Rose give up and start to get out of her bed. Luckily for me I got cold in the middle of the night and wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants to bed. It wasn't as warm as it was with the comforter but I was content. I curled up in a ball and closed my eyes.

"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED THIS INSTANT OR YOU WILL BE SORRY!" Alice yelled. If she wasn't disturbing my slumber I probably would have gotten up instantly, but I wasn't exactly a waking up person, so I ignored her.

After about 5 minutes of Alice muttering and not bothering me, I smiled, thinking I had won this round. The key word there was thinking.

"GAHHHHH!" I screamed. Someone had just poured a bucket of ice cold water all over me and that someone had a name. Alice. "ALICE!"

"Great you're awake. Now since you're already wet, get that pretty little butt of yours into the shower. You have 20 minutes." She said cheerfully. I scowled and glared at her. "Hey, I warned you, you'd be sorry."

I sighed angrily and walked, soaking wet, to the shower. I peeled the wet sweats off of my body and stepped into the shower, turning the water on hot. I shivered as the cold water from my hair drizzled down my back, but it was soon replaced hot water. I let the water relax my muscles, Alice had me pretty tense from her not so gentle wake up. I then remembered I only had 20 minutes and started washing my hair. When I was done I stepped out of the shower, dried off a bit and put my robe on. When I walked out, my sheets were changed so that they weren't wet anymore and my comforter was back. If I wasn't already so awake, I'd consider trying to sleep again, but I didn't.

"Well at least she changed the sheets for me" I said under my breath. On my bed was an outfit for breakfast. It was a white and grey stripped Hollister sweater with dark skinny jeans and black uggs. After I was dressed, Alice pushed me down on my bed and started with my hair and make-up. I had to admit, I looked pretty cute. By 8:30 we were all ready and went down to the lobby to meet the boys.

We waited for about 5 minutes before we saw the boys walk into the lobby. My eyes instantly went to Edward. He had snow in his hair from the walk over and his nose was a little red on the end from the cold. His cheeks had a rosy tint and his lips were a darker pink than usual. They made me want to kiss him, well everything about him made me want to kiss him, but it was like his lips were sending me a personal invitation.

He finally looked up and saw me and my favorite crooked smiled formed. He closed the short distance between us and picked me up in a hug.

"You look absolutely beautiful, love" he whispered in my ear. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks and I knew our cheeks matched in color now, although I hadn't stepped a foot into the cold. He broke from the hug and looked me in the eye. I almost melted in his arms from looking into those beautiful green orbs. He then softly pressed his lips to mine and I felt that shock go through me again. We broke apart and joined the others to head out to breakfast.

Edward paid for my breakfast despite my protests. When we headed back to our dorms Alice and Jasper made a detour somewhere, a surprise is what Alice called it. I just went with it, knowing that I would have no say in the matter.

Sadly I couldn't hang out with Edward during the day because I had a photography project that I procrastinated with and was due on Monday.

The project was to pick something from your life and make a collage from it, recreating it with pictures that we were taking. I chose Alice and Rosalie as my best friends. I had snapped candids of them doing things that could only be described as them. Like Alice digging through a closet, Rosalie working on her car, I even put one in that I set on a timer while they were both working on my hair and make up one day. I recreated a Thanksgiving picture and the gift giving pictures. I snuck pictures of them with Jasper and Emmett and even of them sleeping.

When I was done I took a step back to admire my work. Every picture held a memory, a precious memory. It made me think of my life before I came to Coleman's Academy and met these two.

They always pushed me even when I didn't want to be pushed. They brought out the best in me and I couldn't believe I had gotten so lucky with them. I looked at the picture of them with Jasper and Emmett and couldn't help but think about how perfect they were for each other. It wouldn't surprise me if they ended up married. Alice had told me that she was going to marry Jasper someday. At the time she told me that I thought she had finally cracked, but just looking at the pictures I saw that there was no way she could be wrong. I know it's a long way off, but they loved everything about each other.

Jasper adored Alice's shopping addiction and her hyperactive personality. Alice loved Jasper's calming affect and the way he spoke his mind in a polite manner. Emmett loved the fact that Rose loved cars and that she didn't take crap from anyone. Rose loved Emmett's bearness and his crazy personality. They were perfect.

I felt a tear fall down my cheek as I was staring at my collage. I jumped a little when a finger caught it and that finger wasn't mine. I looked over and Edward was standing next to me with a look of concern on his face. He had my tear still on his finger and looked at it then looked at me.

"Why are you crying?" He asked while searching my face for some sign. I smiled and pointed to my project. "It's beautiful but…"

"It's a collage of Rosalie and Alice. For my photography class we had to take something from our lives and recreate it with our own pictures and collage the pictures together. I chose Alice and Rosalie because they changed me in ways I never thought possible. My life really started when I let them in and I don't know what I'd do without them. I was just remembering everything. They were good tears" I answered him. He was looking at the collage and smiled. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into him. I rested my head on his shoulder. We stayed like that for a bit until my stomach growled. Edward kissed the top of my head and led me out of the room.

He brought me back to his room and made me Easy Mac. It was my favorite. We just sat around watching tv for a while until Alice burst into the room.

"There you are! We need to go get ready for tonight!"

"What's happening tonight?" I asked. I don't remember making plans with anyone.

"Well… it's a surprise missy!" I sighed and gave Edward a quick kiss. An hour later I was ready for whatever we were going to do.

When we pulled up to a place called Sunset I knew something was up. Sunset was a bar.

"Um, Alice? We can't exactly go to a bar. We're only 17."

"I know we can't go to a bar silly. On Saturday nights it's a karaoke bar and it's 16 and up." Alice said with a devilish smile on her face. No way in hell was I getting up there and singing.

Alice had already reserved a table in the VIP section. We sat down and watched people make complete fools out of themselves trying to sing. Mike Newton was up there and I had to cover my ears he was so horrible. Lauren Mallory went up and sang 'Toxic' by Britney Spears and was looking at Edward the whole time. It was rather amusing. He looked like he was going to throw up the entire time. Alice announced that we were all singing tonight, and that meant me too. I was just going to ignore it as long as I could. Alice went up and sang Barbie Girl. It was pretty funny.

Oh, I'm having so much fun!
Well Barbie, we're just getting started
Oh, I love you Ken!

She finished with a little curtsy and stepped down. We were all laughing because she really did look like a black haired Barbie. Rose and Emmett went up next in a duet. They sang 'Promiscuous Girl'


[Rosalie:] Am I throwin' you off?
[Emmett:] Nope.
[Rosalie:] Didn't think so.
[Emmett:] How you doin' young lady?
That feelin' that you givin' really drives me crazy.

I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke.
[Rosalie:] You lookin' for a girl that'll treat you right.
You lookin' for her in the day time with the light.
[Emmett:] You might be the type if I play my cards right.
I'll find out by the end of the night.
[Rosalie:] You expect me to just let you hit it.
Will you still respect me if you get it?
[Emmett:] All I can do is try, give me one chance.
What's the problem? I don't see no ring on your hand.
I be the first to admit it.
I'm curious about you, you seem so innocent.
[Rosalie:] You wanna get in my world, get lost in it.
Boy I'm tired of running, let's walk for a minute.
[Emmett:] Promiscuous girl

[Rosalie:] Promiscuous boy

[Rosalie:] Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kind of cute.
[Emmett:] Hey. I can't keep my mind off you

[Rosalie:] I'm out of this world come with me to my planet.

[Rosalie:] I'm a big girl.

But if I get lonely I'm a need your help.
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health.
[Emmett:] I want you on my team.
[Rosalie:] So does everybody else.
[Emmett:] Shit Baby we can keep it on the low.

[Emmett:] Wait. I don't mean no harm.
I can see you with my t-shirt on.
[Rosalie:] I can see you with nothing on.
Feeling on me before you bring that on.
[Emmett:] Bring that on?
[Rosalie:] You know what I mean.
[Emmett:] Girl I'm a freak you shouldn't say those things.
[Rosalie:] I'm only trying to get inside your brain.
To see if you can work me the way you say.
[Emmett:] It's okay, it's alright.

[Emmett:] Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need.
[Rosalie:] Promiscuous boy
We're one in the same
So we gotta play games more.

They came back with smiles on their faces and it was Jasper's turn. He sang I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. He looked at Alice the entire time who had a smile on her face. His voice was actually very good.

Well you dawned on me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing, we're just one big family.
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
so please don't please don't please don't.
There's no need to complicate
'cause our time is short
This oh this oh this is our fate I'm yours

Oh I'm yours

I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
Theres no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours

Next I knew it was time for Edward to go up. I was anxious to hear him sing. I knew he was very talented musically but I had no idea if he could sing. He probably could I mean he was good at everything. I wanted to hear his voice.

"Hey everyone. My name is Edward and I'd like to dedicate this song to my beautiful girlfriend, Bella." My mouth fell open, he was going to sing a song for me? When he started singing, my breath was taken away.

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

He winked at me and kept singing.

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

When he told me about Tanya, I kept his hopes up thinking she was lying. I helped him through it. A tear rolled down my cheek for the second time that day.


Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive

Because you live, I live, I live

He didn't look away from me during the whole song. I was full out crying now and he came down to meet me. He scooped me up and kissed me. Around me I heard people clapping and awing. I have no idea how I got so lucky as to have him. I smiled up at him and we walked back to our table.

"Damn, Edward. I didn't know you could sing!" Rosalie said as we sat down. Edward just chuckled.

"Bella it's your turn now." Alice said. A smile formed on her face as my face went white. No, no absolutely not.

"No, I am not singing. I can't sing and I have stage fright." Everyone kept bugging me to get up there. In the past, I've given in but not now. After Edward, I know I'll suck and I refuse to be embarrassed. "Alice if you allow me to sing I will promise to go shopping with you 3 times next month with no complaints and you can buy me whatever you want"

Alice's face lit up and she nodded. I sighed a breath of relief. I knew I'd regret that later but I didn't care right now.

We got home and I went straight to bed, seeing as I was woken up at 7:15 that morning after barely getting any sleep the night before. I dreamt of Edward that night, like every night.

EPOV

I was so tempted to tell Bella I loved her after I sang tonight, but it just wasn't the right time. I wanted to tell her but I didn't know how. I wanted it to be perfect. I didn't care if she said it back or not, I wanted her to know how I felt, so that there was never any doubt of my feelings towards her.

That night I stayed up late thinking about the perfect way to tell her and when. I thought about telling her before midterms next week but I knew that that would be too much for her. Especially if she wasn't sure she could say it back, she didn't need that on top of all the stress from studying.

I decided I would tell her sometime during the week after midterms, she would be much happier because the big tests were over and there would be absolutely no pressure on her part. I couldn't wait to let the world know that I love Bella Swan.

A/N: The song that Edward sang was "Because you Live" by Jesse McCartney, such a cute song! So, that was sort of a filler chapter. And the reason for that was because I have plans for the rest of the story and am trying to pace myself. As you can tell it's not going very well at the moment, I actually have some of the things that I need picked out for those chapters, and those chapters won't be coming for like 3 chapters. Gah, I need to stop planning so much, I get ahead of myself. Anyway now that you've read this chapter and this author's note, could you do one more thing for me and review?? Please??
