"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."

When I heard Emmett's singing, I knew it was morning. He was better than an alarm clock sometimes. I groaned and rolled over, trying to block out his singing. I wanted to sleep more. The late nights were beginning to take their toll on me. I had been late for my first class every day last week. In my mind it was worth it, but how do you explain to your teachers that you are over sleeping because you are up late listening to someone play the piano? That is never an excuse a teacher will accept.

I knew I was not going to be able to block out Emmett forever, so I rolled out of bed and headed for the bathroom to splash cold water on my face. I heard both Alice and Rosalie in the common room with everyone else; I had not heard them get up. I threw my hair up and headed out to see them all. They were all hovering in the little kitchen area. The only one not there was Edward. He was sitting on the couch, holding a cup of coffee very close to himself. I gave him a small smile and went to get my own cup of coffee.

Edward and I had spent a lot of time together the week before. He had been in the common room a lot, and we had spent time talking about music, books and just about everything else. He had not asked me to dinner again, but it was still nice to talk to him. Once you got him talking, he knew a lot about things. He did know more than just music. I had wanted to ask about his music, but I left that subject alone. It was just nice to have someone to talk too again. It had been a while since I had really talked to anyone.

After getting my coffee I sat with Edward on the couch. I heard Alice whispering to Rosalie about something. I was sure she had noticed all the time Edward and I had been spending together. Alice wanted us to end up together and would do anything to make sure that happened. She had been keeping everyone out of the rooms all week. I was not stupid; I saw her herding them all over the place. I just wish she understood that he and I were just friends. I doubted he even looked at me like that anyway.

I had made an effort all week to be where I would run into Bella. I just wanted to get to know her. So I spent time in the common room. It paid off. We had talked for hours about anything and everything. I knew she had made it a point to be outside the music room every night. I had new music to play almost every night as well. Some nights she left a few of the same pieces. I was getting an idea of which pieces were her favorites.

Of course, we were all woken up by Emmett's singing. For once though, Alice did not threaten bodily harm to him for it. Bella was the last one up and gave me a small smile as she came into the room. It made my stomach jump, like it was full of butterflies. I think when I figured out it was her leaving me the music, I had felt something like delight. I looked at her differently now. I didn't want her to know right away that I was the one playing the music she left. There were times I just wanted to tell her that I knew about her listening to my music. I didn't though. Instead, I started making plans to do little things for her. I wanted to really get to know her, have her feel comfortable with me. When the time was right, I would reveal that I was the one playing the music.

I leaned toward her slightly when she sat down beside me and whispered, "I really think he was sent to this planet to torment us."

She giggled softly as she cradled the cup of coffee she had close to her. I couldn't help but smile a little as she drank it. She really was not the girl I thought she was before. There were layers to her, and I wanted to peel those layers away and learn more about her. I was sure it would take time though. She had a lot she was holding back from people. She had told me her family had more money than they needed, really than anyone needed. Her mother and step father had sent her to the school to get her out of the house. I saw sadness in her eyes when she talked about her mother, but I did not push her to talk. I could relate to the having more money than anyone really needed. Thankfully though, my parents had not sent us to Moonlight Cove to get us out of the house. We all agreed to come so they would not worry about what we were doing when they were busy.

Just as I was about to ask her to lunch, Alice sat down by me. I could see she was planning something - that look of evilness was in her eyes. I narrowed my eyes at her and then looked away, trying to ignore her as she stared at me. She made that nearly impossible though.

"So Edward, I was thinking we all needed to go and do something today. It is supposed to be beautiful today, so why don't we all go hiking or something?"

I heard everyone agreeing with her and looked at Bella. Would she want to go? She was looking at the blank television screen.

"Um, Bella…"

She looked at me, and I'll be damned if my heart didn't beat a little faster. Damn it, how was it she had this affect on me?

"Alice thinks we should all go hiking or something. You up for that?"

She took a sip from her coffee cup before responding, "Well I guess but someone needs to be prepared to carry me back when I get hurt. I am not all that good at the hiking thing."

I reached over and touched her arm briefly. "I think we can make sure you are safe."

There was electricity there when I touched her. Everyone seemed pleased with her response and mine. Alice grabbed her and dragged her to their room with Rosalie while we guys went to get dressed. Both Jasper and Emmett kept looking at me. It was a bit unnerving to have them both watching me.

"Okay, why are you two staring at me?"

They were both quiet. Emmett was the first to finally say something, "So you and Bella, huh?"

I threw a pillow at Emmett, "No, I am just trying to get to know her. She likes the same music I do."

Jasper laughed, "Dude, you are so transparent. Everyone can see you like her."

I just snorted and ignored them both as I got dressed. Was it really that plain to see? Could Bella tell?

How I got talked into hiking, I will never know. Alice had promised me that I would be all right. I was sure I was going to get hurt, but I was still in the car with them. Alice had worked her magic, and somehow I ended up in the back of Jasper's car with Edward. When he had touched me earlier I had felt a shock, like electricity, moving from him to me. It was definitely weird. I was so confused by Edward. I really got along with him, but I just couldn't shake the thoughts of the mysterious piano player. I just couldn't shake the feeling that I was connected to them in some way. It was weird, but for the first time I felt like I belonged with someone. It was hard to explain, and really, I didn't want to.

We headed to the Indian reservation near Forks. They had several hiking trails that Alice and Rosalie had wanted to try out. I really never saw them as hikers, but they were full of surprises. Once parked, everyone climbed out and grabbed what little gear we had brought. It was mostly water and rope. I think Emmett had planned to climb something. With him, I had a feeling anything was possible. We adopted the buddy system so that no one got lost. Of course, this paired me with Edward, and I was sure that was Alice's plan. At least I had someone to talk too.

Of course, no one could agree on which path to take so we split up. I was sure it was not the smartest thing, but I was not in charge. Soon Edward and I were making our way down a well worn path. I had already tripped over a few rocks and a well placed fallen branch. I think I was a walking disaster out in the forest. Walking halls was one thing; paths in woods had the habit of having things randomly sticking up that I could trip over. I was not overly clumsy, but I was not graceful either.

The silence between Edward and I was comfortable. I had no idea what to say, and he seemed totally distracted. We came to a clearing and stopped to rest. I found a patch of grass that was in the sun and sat down to soak the rays in. Edward sat down beside me.

"I can't believe they actually wanted to split up, though it was probably safer. Knowing them, they had some romantic destination in mind, and we would have been left sitting there in awkward silence."

I laughed and laid back in the grass, "I am sorry you got stuck with the clumsy one. I can walk just find on floors and smooth ground, but get me out here and I am a walking disaster."

"Oh please, you are doing just fine. I have only had to catch you a handful of times."

We both laughed at that before going silent. He leaned back on his hands and looked at me for a moment before looking around us. The clearing was beautiful and quiet. I was sure had the couples known about it they would have come this way instead of the way they went. I was glad they had let us take the path we did though. It just felt right to be in that clearing with Edward. I was trying to figure out that feeling, when we heard movement on the edge of the clearing.

Edward jumped up as a group of boys who had to have been from the reservation came into the clearing. I sat up as they approached us. They didn't look too happy to see people. Edward offered his hand to help me up. My eyes never left the boys as I stood.

"Well, look what we have here. Are you two lost? Or were you coming out here to do things your parents would not approve of?"

I blushed as they spoke and moved to stand behind Edward a little. I wasn't sure if he could really protect me, but he was all I had.

"No, we are just hiking and decided to rest here. If you wanted to see something like that, you picked the wrong people to follow. Now my brother would probably give you a show."

I snorted behind him and looked at each Indian boy. One to the side was staring at me. It was actually making me feel very uncomfortable. Edward picked up on that discomfort and made a move to get our things. The boys seemed to relax a bit and laughed.

"We are just messing with you. We already ran into your other friends. We are just making sure that there are not any lost people out here. Jacob here said he saw a couple cars heading out here. It never fails that someone gets lost out here when they are hiking. We're just trying to watch your back."

He had pointed at the boy who had been staring at me when he said the name Jacob. I looked at them and smiled, avoiding Jacob's eyes as he looked at me. Edward broke me from my discomfort by handing me my backpack. We said our thanks to the boys and headed out of the clearing.

I sighed as we hiked back to the cars. That had definitely been a mood killer.

The arrival of the reservation boys could not have come at a worse time. Bella and I had been relaxed in that clearing. I was going to ask her to dinner or something when they came in. Why did I always get my plans stepped on? We hiked back to the cars in silence. I had seen the way one of those boys had been looking at Bella. I could feel the jealousy welling up as I grabbed our stuff, and it was still there all the way back to the cars. I had remained silent only because I didn't want to say something to upset the situation more. I was going to have to just ask her to dinner later.

I turned to Bella as we got to the cars, "Are you okay?"

She nodded and moved past me to put her stuff on the hood. I heard her sigh several times, and I moved up behind her. I wanted to comfort her, but we were not at that stage in our relationship. We had just become friends. I didn't want to ruin that, especially since she was my music lover. I smiled at that thought. I liked calling her my music lover.

Just as I was about to ask her to dinner again, I was interrupted by my sister and brother coming back to the cars. I was about to give up when Bella turned to me and smiled. The way she made me feel was so damn confusing. I had never let someone get to me. I had my music, but for some reason I was not thinking about my music as much since I had learned her secret. She had taken up my thoughts. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it felt good.

You guys are teh awesome!! Thank you for all the reviews, please keep them coming! I am leaning towards a bad Jacob here. I am sorry if you are a Jacob fan but I need a bad guya nd he will work well for this story.
