Hello, sorry for the long wait, but I am doing my best to update. I am trying to finish Twin Love, so maybe the updates will be more toward that story. Though I will still update, so no worries there. Also, tell me what you think.
The way to love
anything
is to realize
that it may be lost.

''Tell Rosie, that I wish I could speak to her.''
''Rose, Emmett really wants to speak to you.''
''Okay, tell him, that I do, too."
I sighed in annoyence as Bella continued to be the messenger for Rosalie and Emmett. It was not really Bella's choice, but Rose asked her to, and Bella couldn't really say no.
She was just too nice to decline Rosalie's favor. After all, they were friends.
Okay, I'll admit it that did not bother me exaclty, it was just that anybody could talk to Bella, and I couldn't, all because of an assignment.
I was just so jealous of everyone around me who could talk to Bella, and I couldn't. Sure I got my chance, but it was not enough. Heck, I think that the rest of eternity would never be enough, either.
And here I was, wasting time, not speaking to her. I just wish the time will sped as when I was talking to her, but instead, the seconds dragged longer.
''Okay, I quit! Ask somebody else to be your messenger, I will not tell Rose, Emmett, how hot she is. It would be just plain wrong!'' Bella finnally exploded.
Wow, so Emmett wanted Bella to tell her best friend how hot she was? I could not help it; I broke out laughing, as did Jasper and Alice.
It was just so weird. Just then, the intercome came one, ''Can I have everybody's attention? Thank you. I would just let you know that we will be having a...'' the teacher was abviously trying to get people to start shouting 'What! What!' but she just continued. ''Karaoke contest in 5 minutes. To anybody wondering, nobody is still talking to their partners. Thank you.''
I sighed. Seriously? A karaoke contest, did she know people might loose their pride in this? Though I was wrong, because Emmett cheered.
''Yey! Bella you should totally go! You are such a great singer, and this is your perfect opportunity to prove it! You should really sing somewhere else, other than in the shower.''
Bella blushed a deep red as Emmett's comment catched attention of many people.
''Be quiet Emmett, I do not want everyone in Forks High to know that!"
Rosalie and Alice laughed.
''Do not worry, Bells. Who cares about what others think? Plus, Edward, Jasper, Rose, and Alice all know that you do sing,'' Emmett pointed out.
Okay so I did know that, but it was only because Emmett could not keep his mouth shut, I bet a lot of people knew.
''So you guys talk about Bella in the shower, is that what you guys do in your free time?'' Alice joked.
Everyone laughed, as Bella continued to blush deeply. I swear, her face was going to stay red, if she did not stop blushing.
I had to admit, though, I loved her blush. It was one of the many things that got my atention, like her sweet laugh, or her beautiful personality.
''You know what, Emmett, let's go to the karaoke thing, I want this conversation to stop,'' Bella said.
We all followed her lead towards the room where the competition was taking place. No way in Earth was I going to participate; I really did not like to sing. I prefer my piano, not my voice.
When we finnally got there, there were only a couple people in the room, some looked excied, but most of them were obviously nervous.
''Okay, maybe this was a bad idea, Emmett. Let just go, and pretend we never even wanted to come here in the first place,'' Bella suggested.
It was actually not a bad idea; I could really see why she suggested that. The room was not filled with many people, but they were still quite a bit of students.
''Bella, you are not getting out of this, plus, why don't you and Alice sing together?'' Emmett suggested.
Alice nodded. ''That would be so great! We could sing something fun! It would be like a friends' thing!''
Bella made a face at Alice's enthusiasm. ''Do not get me wrong, but I just do not want to do this in general.''
''You are not getting out of this, Bella. So forget about trying to get away,'' Rosalie shot a look at Bella.
Bella sighed, and looked down. Surely she was not going to win this arguement, it was three against one. I really did not want to give my opinion, it would never make a difference anyway, so why bother?
''Can I get everyone's attention?'' a teacher asked, she looked bored and really tired. She probably just wanted to get this over with, and not deal with teenagers.
As soon as she got the attention, she continued. ''Okay this is how it is going to work: The first person to sing would be a volunteer, and then he or she, would pick the next person. There would be no revenge 'pick' or anything, so save your time. Also, the person that picked you to go next would get to pick your song!''
The teacher looked around the gym to see if everyone understood. There wer a lot of 'oh my gosh's and 'What?!'s. I just rolled my eyes, I was not going to sing anyway, so why worry.
''Are there any question?'' the teacher said above all the noises of screaming teenagers.
Of course Tanya, who I just noticed was there, was the first one to ask a question. ''Can there be duets, or are there just solos?''
Bella's POV
''Yes there could be duets,'' the teacher answered Tanya's question.
Of course she would ask those question, oh how I hated her! I wish she could just disappear!
After Tanya's question there were only a few other questions, until the bored looking teacher askd if there were any volunteers.
Alice was just about to raise her hand, but I brought it down with my own hand. I did not want to embaress myself singing first, plus we were not going to pick our song anyway.
The few people who raised their hand to go up put them all down as soon as Tanya raised her hands. It was like everyone was scared of her, and I could see why.
''Okay the lady over there, come down.''
Tanya got up to the front of the room, and whispered something to the guy who was going to play teh song. He nodded and moved some of the buttons that were in front of him.
''I'm going to sing a song that I would love to dedicate to a special guy in the crowd,'' Tanya spoke through the microphone, her voice sweet.
She was staring directly towards Edward, and that was weird, well as much as it could be.
The music started and I recognized the song as Push The Button, by Sugababe.
The only reason I knew this song was because it was one of the songs I listened to over and over when Edward and I broke up. The song really had nothing to do with our break-up, but at the time, I just listened to songs over and over, until I memorized them, to take my mind out of Edward.
I had also memorized many others.
''I'm busy throwing hints that he keeps missing
Don't have to think about it.''
I was surprised as Tanya's voice came up, it was so melodious. It was better than anyone's voice. I was surprised and sad, I looked up at Edward.
It surprised me that he had his mouth open, like he admired her. I looked down quickly, so he could not see my broken expression.
''Wanna kiss and
Everything around it but he's too distant
I wanna feel his body
I can't resist it'
'' I know my hidden looks can be deceiving
But how obvious should a girl be?
I was taken by the early conversation piece
And I really like the way that he respect me
''I've been waiting patiently for him to come and get it
I wonder if he knows that he can say it and I'm with it
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Catch this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos
''If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control''
The thing that hurt the most was that she was staring directly at Edward, not anybody else in the room. People had started clapping to the beat, and Edward was one of them.
''I'm busy showing him what he's been missing
I'm kind of showing off for his full attention
My sexy ass has got him in the new dimension
I'm ready to do something to relieve this mission''
I was astonished as she finished her last line, was she serious?
''After waiting patiently for him to come and get it
He came on through and asked me if I wanted to get with him
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos
''If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
''If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
''I've been dropping so many hints
You're still not getting it
Now that you've heard everything I have to say
Where we gonna go from here?
''After waiting patiently for him to come and get it
He came over and asked me if I wanted to get with him
I knew I had my mind made up from the very beginning
Won't miss this opportunity so you and me could feel it 'cos
''If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
''If you're ready for me boy
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
(I control)
''If you're ready for me boy
(For me boy)
You'd better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go (Oh, oh)
You're gonna miss the freak that I control
''Ohhhhhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhhh.''
And she finished. She shot one smile towards Edward and a glare in my direction. I just continued to look at nothing, not paying attention at what was happening around the room.
''Thank you, I did not know I was that good. Anyways, who wants to go next?'' Tanya spoke, her soft voice harsh.
Nobody called or anything, the room stood silent. I could understand, who wanted to be compared to Tanya, I sure did not. But it seemed that Tanya had different plans.
''Well, Bella, why don't you come over here. I have heard you are such a great singer, prove it. Sing, now.'' She said. Of course she had picked me. That bitch.
Alice started walking with me, but I stopped her; I was going to fight my own battle. I did not need her, in this anyway.
When I was walking though, of course Edward was coming with me.
When I got to the stage, they seperated Edward and I, and I was both, glad and sad.
''What do you want me to sing?''
Tanya smiled. ''Chose, Hannah Montana, or Taylor Swift?'' she asked with an evil smile.
