Finding True Love Chapter 8: The Best Morning In A Long Time, a twilight fanfic

BPOV: The Best Morning in a Long Time

I heard a soft knock on my door. I quickly sat up, I was in bed. I must have fallen asleep after grabbing my i-pod and running into Edward. I looked to the clock on the left side of my bed. It read 6:37 am. Wow. Alice must have been in a weird mood to let me sleep through movie night. I got up slowly and stiffly, I was still in my jeans and shirt from yesterday. I opened the door lightly to find Esme smiling at me. I couldn't help it I smiled back. She must want me to sing for her, I hated singing in front of a lot of people but Esme was different. I liked singing to her.

"Good morning. I was wondering if you got sing for me before any one waked up." I nodded and her smile grew even wider.

"Just let me change, I fell asleep in my clothes last night." I told her.

"Alice told me she wanted you to sleep because of the drive up her, I was glad. It was a long drive, you needed a good nights rest. I'm going to go get breakfast ready. You favorite?" She asked me smoothly, making her voice sound so comforting. I nodded swiftly. I loved Esme's chocolate chip pancakes. She turned to go downstairs and I went to get changed.

I put on a pair of gray sweatpants on and a light blue cotton shirt that fit me nicely. As soon as I ran a brush through my hair, I grabbed my guitar case and made my way down to the kitchen. I smelled the pancakes before I even opened the door. When I did Esme was there flipping a couple on the stove, she turned to me and motioned for me to sit down.

She put the pancakes on a plate and turned off the stove. I opened my guitar case up to my beautiful Yamaha CG171C Cedar Top Guitar. I absolutely loved it. Of course their was stickers all over it, mostly from Alice. My favorite sticker on it was my name, in bright neon green and hot pink outline. Alice probably specially ordered, but I didn't care it was my favorite and I didn't put up a fight. I pulled it out slowly, which I did every time just in case I dropped. I heard Esme put down the plate on the table and sat down.

"What do you want me to play?" I asked her kindly, sitting down in the process.

"How 'bout you play whatever you like. I just missed your playing so much it doesn't matter." I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Okay I got an idea, how about I play one song and you pick another?" I looked at her while she thought about it.

"Deal. I'll think about it while you sing yours." I nodded and strummed my guitar. I wanted to play my favorite song. Breathe (2am) By: Anna Nalick.

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,

"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?, I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season" Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button, girl.

So cradle your head in your hands And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss "Just a Day", he said down to the flask in his fist, "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year." Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it. Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button, boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe... just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe There's a light at each end of this tunnel, You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me, Threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. and breathe, just breathe woah breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe, Oh breathe, just breathe.

I finished the song nice and smooth, looking up at her she was radiant with smiles. It almost looked like she had tears in her eyes but every time I sang she always looked like that. "What shall I sing next, Esme?" I asked her but I knew what she wanted me to sing, her favorite. "Kiss me By: Sixpence None The Richer." She said. So I sang it.

Kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Lightly , beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me , upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring , bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me

So kiss me...
So kiss me.

She started clapping lightly when I finished, I knew this song made her happy because Carlisle played it an their wedding anniversary one year.

"Good?" I asked as I put my guitar away. She looked at me with a shocked face, which happened rarely.

"How could you even ask me that. You did fantastic, you know I love it when you sing. But if you don't want to be caught in the act you better put that away." I did it as fast as I could, thinking if Alice heard it. She would kill be if she did, she always wanted me to sing to her. I said no, I only preformed for Esme and myself. As soon as I locked the guitar up the kitchen door swung open and there Alice stood with Rose, Jasper, Emmett and Edward behind her. Great.

It also didn't help that she looked really pissed off. I just picked up my guitar and moved it out of the way and sat back down putting syrup on my pancakes. I sat their for a couple of moment hoping Alice would let it go. But no she didn't she sat down loudly in front of me while I took a bite of my delicious food. I put my fork down and looked right at her. Everyone was still in the doorway, they knew better than to be by Alice when she got bad.

"What?" I asked her shrugging my shoulders.

"What?! Is all you have to say." Oops. I'm in trouble. But I kept going on ignoring the fact that she caught me.

"Ya. I'm just eating my pancakes. Want a bite?" She was looking furious now. I had to keep it going maybe she would stop and leave me alone before she killed me.

"NO! I don't want a freakin bite. What is that?" She pointed her finger to my guitar that I put next to the wall, so no body would trip over it. Namely, me.

"That's my guitar." Okay Bella keep it up. You're doing good, she's cooling off. Or maybe not.

"I know thats your guitar! Do I look stupid. You played didn't you?" She asked me. I probably looked like I was about to cry. I didn't answer her as I took another bite and chewed slowly. I was about to say yes when I heard someone come and sit down next to me. Edward. He was even gorgeous in the morning.

"Alice leave her alone. You know she played, just drop it." He turned to me and smiled, I smiled back. Alice looked from back and forth from the two of us a couple of times before giving up and walking out of the kitchen upstairs. Everybody else following her except Edward, who sat their staring at me.

"Will I get to here you play?" He whispered in my ear. Making my breathing stop and my heart go faster.

"Maybe...maybe not." I whispered back and he looked completely shocked. I'll I have to do is keep this up, and maybe I won't die of a heart attack this summer.
