Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

Hi.. I've been updating a lot because I have time. Turkey Day! and I just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! And I'm not grounded anymore, I'm free as a bird! My mother let it go, because I got good grades! I'm a lucky ducky.

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again and
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change
Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
This revolution, the time will come
For us to finally win
And we'll sing hallelujah, we'll sing hallelujah

So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now
Find things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared
You can walk away, say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this

Change, by Taylor Swift

Chapter 27

I stared at my white knuckles gripping the steering wheel. "Don't be stupid, Melody, of course you know how to drive!" I laughed nervously, suddenly remembering I could drive. Then why the hell am I so jittery?

It was like Edward would pop out of nowhere, like he usually does. I inhaled deeply and reached for the shift stick, my eyes darting everywhere. Looking for him, I just have this hunch he'll appear and scold me.

I took a deep breath and drove out of the parking lot. Turning the radio on, I suddenly felt at ease as the music drifted around the car. I relaxed the speed-meter reading 75 mph. "I feel soooo bad, this is grand theft auto!" I exclaimed, adrenaline coursing through my veins.

A favorite song of mine suddenly went on and I started procrastinating. Eventually, from my lack of attention, I took the wrong turn. "Gahhh...!" I cried, slapping my forehead. I drove on, looking for any empty lots I could take a U-turn on.

Then I realized this was the way to Charlie's house. Maybe a small looksy wouldn't hurt, would it? Unless Edward pulls that houdini crap again and scare the hell out of me. But that's the usual.

It took me 7 minutes to find the house and park in the drive way. It looked empty and lifeless. The curtains were still hanging in the windows, making it hard for me to look through the windows. Maybe I should only look in one room, cause it seems very eerie.

There is really only one room I want to visit. Mine.

I climbed up an old tree that was standing next to my window. "Damn..." I hissed, realizing that the tree was a few feet away from the tree. I spotted a branch that hung limply in front of the window.

I made my way to it carefully, hoping that my foot wouldn't slip. The cast that held my sprained wrist wasn't helping this issue either. I held onto a branch above me and tested the limp branch by tapping it lightly. I groaned in defeat when the branch couldn't support my weight. I felt like a fat house cat.

"Well, if I already stole a car, mind as well break into a house as well" I sighed, taking a step back. I leaned forward, swinging my sprained wrist around my body. Covering it with my side. I crouched down and sprang towards the window.

CRASH!

I crashed into the glass and fell to the floor. Pieces of broken glass showering me, "That's going to hurt in the morning" I groaned, pushing myself up. I avoided touching any of the broken glass, haven't I gotten enough injuries that lasted a life time?

I was shocked to see that the furniture haven't been moved an inch. I guess no one has gotten around to move things out of the house and restore it. I was walking towards my old dresser when a loud creaking beneath my feet occured.

I stepped on it a few more times, making sure I heard it right. Creak, creak, creak. I pushed pieces of glass aside with the side of my shoe and bent down. With my good hand I lifted the floor board and to my astonishment there were video cassets there.

I pulled all 4 out and looked at the titles written on the side. I noticed my mother's scribbling on it instantly.

First Hours of Melody

Piano Lessons and Paintings

Sightings 1

Sightings 2

I looked at them quizzically, the last two cassests bothered me for some reason. I don't know why, but I knew I would find something new with them. What I did know was I needed to watch these later.

I put them beside my feet and rummaged through the floorboards again. I found my old bracelet, which I grew out of once I turned 4. An old C.D., pictures of Bella and Edward, and lots of other junk that belonged to Bella.

I put everything back except for the tapes, when I had enough. I picked up the stacked tapes and absentmindedly walked out of the room. Leaving the mess behind me. I had to see these tapes.

I hopped down the familiar steps and strode into the living room. It felt like home, except for the eerie silence that rang through my ears. I let it envelope me for awhile as my eyes wandered around.

5 minutes passed and I finally moved towards the T.V. It's a good thing Charlie kept his old video player. I pushed in the first video labeled First Hours of Melody. I pressed the play button and turned around.

I surpressed a scream when I found Edward sprawled across the couch, looking relaxed. "What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, breathlessly.

"I can't leave you alone, you might commit crimes" He winked, shrugging his shoulders.

"I shouldn't be surprised to see you here" I grumbled, plopping down into an arm chair. He was about to say something, but my glare shut him up. We both stared at the T.V. watching the darling moments silently.

The camera closed up onto Bella looking dishevilled on a hospital bed. She had bags under her eyes, sweat was shining on her forehead, but she looked like she just won the lottery. I realized that she was holding a small bundle in her arms. The camera came closer until it towered above the bundle.

A small face with sprouting bronze hair came up. It's eyes were shut and it was frowning it's sleep. Bella's proud smile lit up her face, making her unbelievably beautiful. "What are you going to name her Ms. Swan?" Came a comforting lady's voice.

Bella's eyebrows furrowed, but her face lit up once again. "Melody, Melody Charlotte Cullen" She announced, her voice hoarse. As soon as she said those words the baby's eyes opened. Stunning me, not because of the colors, but because those eyes were mine.

Then the T.V. went black and Edward took in a sharp breath. "You both looked beautiful" He said softly, the sadness evident in his voice. I turned to look at him, his face showed no emotion, but his eyes did. They were distraught. Possibly because he missed the birth of his only child.

"Thank.. you" I said abruptly, lifting myself off the couch and walked towards the video player. The anger I felt for him earlier lessened by the second, but I knew it would come back as soon as I was alone.

"If only I was there" He mumbled in a low voice. I pretended I didn't hear it, because I knew he didn't mean for me to hear so. I pushed in the next one and pressed play. Hoping it would be a pleasant one so Edward's mood would brighten.
