A/N: Here is another chapter! I know some of you thought my last chapter was my last, but here is another one. This story isn't finished just yet. I am sorry I am procrastinating! I am sorry I got caught up in reading fan fics. If you want to read them, they have been added to my favorite stories on my profile. Thank you so much to my friend JayMay who has been proof reading my chapters! THANKS A MILLION TIMES!Again, I DO NOT own Twilight and its characters. Oh, Stephenie Meyer, can I please take Edward home with me? I would actually take Jasper or Emmett too!I do not own any of the actual bands either. Enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 14: I Belong To You/ Mon Coeur S'ouvre A Ta VoixWhen these pillars get pulled down
It will be you who wears the crown
and i'll owe everything to you
How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike
I can't find the words to say
They're overdue
I've travelled half the world to say
I belong to you
Then she attacks me like a Leo
When my heart is split like Rio
But, I assure you my debts are real
I can't find the words to say
When I'm confused
I travelled half the world to say
You are my mu-se
Ah! Responds, responds a ma tendresse
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
Responds a ma tendresse
Responds a ma tendresse
ahhh verse-moi l'ivresse
verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse
responds a ma tendresse
respond a ma tendresse
ahhh verse-moi l'ivresse
I belong
I belong to you alone
I can't find the words to say
they're overdue
travelled half the world to say
I belong to you

Soon the light was streaming through the window. I opened my eyes and in the second I realized where I was. I was not sleeping in the moving van or even crashed out on someone's couch in some city. I was home in the arms of the one I love. His arms were wrapped about me.
I was now too awake to go back to bed. I gently lifted up Edward's arm. I didn't want to leave him too long. I rushed over to my laptop bag and pulled it out. I turned it on and quietly worked went to work on my book as Edward slept.
I clicked away as I was in the final chapter. Then, I heard Edward start to stir around 11:30 a.m.
"Hey baby? What are you doing?" he asked in a complete groggy state as he woke from a long and wonderful night's sleep.
"Well, I am writing. I am just finishing this chapter and I am happy to say the last chapter of my book. Hey, could read this part?" I asked and gave him the puppy dog pout.
He sat up and wiped the sleep from his eyes.
"So what is the background about what I am reading?" he asked as I handed him my laptop.
"Well it's the end of the story. My main guy character, Edwin, is singing a song to Beth, the female heroine. It's a song about how their relationship changed over time," I said with a little fear that the song sucked.
I really hope this song doesn't sucks. I know that he is a musician and all so he knows a good song when he reads one. I know I could of just asked him to write one for me, but I think it was best if I wrote it.
He started reading the lyrics to the song
I'll never be
A knight in armor
With a sword in hand,
Or a kamikaze fighter;
Don't count on me
To storm the barricades
And take a stand,
Or hold my ground;
You'll never see
Any scars or wounds -
I don't walk on coals,
I won't walk on water:
I am no prince,
Some comedy -
I am no saint,
I am not anyone's wildest dream,
But I can stand behind
And be someone to fall back on.
You're bruised and beaten down
And I'm the one
Who's looking for a favor.
Still, honestly,
You don't believe me
But the things I have
Are the things you need.
You look at me
Like I don't make sense,
Like a waste of time,
Like it serves no purpose -
I am no prince,
I am no saint,
And if that's what you believe you need,
You're wrong - you don't need much,
You need someone to fall back on...
And Ill be that:
Ill take your side.
If I'm the only one,
I'm used to that.
I've been alone,
Id rather be
The half of us,
The least of you,
The best of me.
And I will be
Your prince,
Ill be your saint,
"Bella did you actually write that song?" he look straight into my eyes, staring into my soul.
Did he think I plagiarized this song? Oh my God, he must think I stole someone's song. I just nodded yes. I knew I couldn't trust my voice. I know if I vocalized my answers I might start crying from what I thought his answer was.
He looked at me with a semi blank expression.
If I had to take a stab at what emotion it might be I would say shock or disbelief … with a tinge of love maybe? How could I see love when he must think I am a plagiarizer?
"Wow Bella! I don't know what to say?" he said as I was trying to brace myself for the impact of his words.
"It's so… so beautiful," he whispered.
"What?" I barely heard his reply.
"It's a beautiful song. I love it! I can hear what it would sound like with music in my head right now," he grinned that crooked and so genuine smile.
"You really think so? It's just something that I thought up. I didn't think you would like it," I said with surprise in my voice.
"It's the best song I have ever seen. And you know me, I can be such a music snob," he grinned that grin, the one that makes you knees turn to Jell-O and could put Stephen Moyer's 'True Blood" character's glamour effect to shame.
All I could do is smile and absorb the love and appreciation that was free flowing from him.
"And, if you don't mind, when we are in LA, I would like to record it. And maybe, if its okay with you, we could put it on the record. You would get all the credit for it! I will make damn sure of that," he said to me.
All I could do was nod yes.
As soon as I agreed, Edward grabbed my arm and whisked me away to his piano. I held tightly onto my laptop. He sat behind his piano playing and stopping occasionally to write something on staff paper. Once and a while he would ask my opinion about the music. I would comment and continue writing my story. He was writing music to go along with my lyrics. He was really serious about this!
We spent all day in that room only taking breaks to eat and use the bathroom. Time just seemed to fly by. I did notice that it was getting dark out while I finished typing the last sentence of the last chapter of my book. As I saved it to both my laptop and my jump drive, I heard piano notes finish too. I looked up. Edward and I locked eyes almost instantly.
"Baby that's it, my book is done!" I smiled.
"Your finished? I want to read the rest now, but I have to play you something first."
He patted the space on the bench beside him. He started playing for me. It start with some soft piano, then he started singing. Oh my God! That's my song. It sounds… sounds so real.
I was in utter shock as the notes flowed to a beautiful close. I was grinning at him like some kind of love sick fool. Well, I guess I might qualify for that label because I am in love for the first time wlingo stand point.)
"I love it Edward. I was just thinking as you played about how you came in my life. My life changed that day we fell in love and it will never be the same. And I never want it to change. I love the song, don't do anything to it, except maybe add in Jasper and Emmett's parts." I giggled a little at the last part. He smiled at me.
"Well now that you heard your song, it's time for me to read you last chapter," he said.
He has been reading my story as I wrote it. Every time I finished a chapter he would read it.
"Here, I will just go make lunch and don't you have to meet up with the guys later?" I asked as I handed him my laptop.
"Yup, we are meeting the gang around 5 to practice some before we leave to record."
He smiled as he read. I kissed his cheek and went to the kitchen to make lunch.
After lunch we got ready to meet up with everyone at practice. Both Edward and I took a shower, separately of course, Even though I wouldn't have had any problem with some conservation methods. Then, we left the apartment and drove to the practice space.
When we got there, the guys unload the equipment from the trailer and got quickly to work practicing. We sat on the couch in the room.
Edward started playing my song. He explained what notes and chords he was playing. Both Jasper and Emmett quickly contributed a bass line and drum beat. After they finished all of the song, he announced that I wrote it. Everyone was in shock just like he was earlier today. Then, everyone congratulated me and the guys nearly begged me to let them record it.
"Hey guys. Edward beat you to the punch. He already asked," I said.
The guy gave me that 'come on give us the answer" look.
"And… I said yes!" I had to see them sweat some.ith the greatest and most drop dead gorgeous man in the world. Watch out Robert Pattison and Chace Crawford! You might be on People's hottest bachelors list, but Mr. Edward Cullen has stolen my heart and claimed it for keeps! I was off in my own little world and didn't notice Edward's look of worry.
"Bells? You hate it don't you. I can change the chord progression in the second bridge to A major instead of …" I quickly cut him off with a kiss. (A/N: I don't know much about composing or playing piano. I'm just trying to think of some piano stuff I learned in the music class I took in college. I didn't do that hot in that class. Please forgive me it doesn't make since from the music
A/N: Hey everyone! I am sorry this took so long. You know me, super procrastinator! I hope you like this chapter, or if you hated it I am sorry! I think I have only a couple of chapters left in this story. ENJOY!
