Hi everybody - back to normal update schedule now as you can see. This is one day early cause I have this massive concert on tomorrow night and I won't be home until about midnight so I thought I'd post it early. And the past few days have been so hectic with loads of reharsals so apologies for shortness.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga

Chapter Four – You found me

I found god
On the corner of first and Amistad
Where the west was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said where you been, he said ask anything
Where were you?
When everything was falling apart
All my days were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of first and Amistad

I woke up the next morning to see the sunlight streaming in through the windows, blinding me.

"Bella, get up!" I heard Rosalie shout.

"Too early," I mumbled. "How did you get in my room anyway?"

"You left the door unlocked last night," she explained. "Now spill, what happened last night?"

"Go away Rose. Go ask Alice, I'm sure she knows," I grumbled.

"Yes, and she's refusing to tell me. Now SPILL," she shouted, grabbing my sheets and pulling them off my bed.

"ROSE!"

I groaned and reluctantly sat up to face her, annoyed at the fact that I didn't have to go to work until after lunch, meaning that I would have to talk to her.

"Okay, what's there to know? You were there; we went to the show and watched it then he walked me back to my room. End of story."

"I know that," she said, rolling her eyes, "But what did Alice say to Edward?"

"How did you know about that?"

"I saw her walk out to where you guys were standing on the balcony and I could only assume that the was going to have a talk with him. And now she's refusing to tell me what she said to him and I thought that you would have heard…" she trailed off.

After Alice had said that she wanted a private conversation with Edward, I had walked around the corner to listen in on the conversation. Okay, I was eavesdropping but I wanted to know what could be so important that she hadn't wanted me to hear it as well.

"She was telling him about what happened after he left Forks and threatened that if he ever hurt me, he's have to deal with her."

"Yeah, you wouldn't want to get on Alice's bad side," she giggled. "What did happen?"

"It was as Alice said. He never called and I just fell apart. Alice was the one who helped me through that time."

"You two make a great couple," she commented.

I blushed. "I don't even know where this leaves us," I admitted, "I mean it's not like I exactly know about relationships."

"True. And to think it's Edward Cullen," she mused. "Did you ever think that the seventeen year old kid you knew would grow up to be someone so famous?"

I shook my head, "No way in a million years would I have picked it. He seemed so normal when I knew him. It was a real shock when I first heard his song on the radio." The song that he had written for me. "And even more of a shock when I saw him here."

Rosalie was looking at me thoughtfully, "I guess you guys are going to be together now?"

"Like I said, we haven't discussed it."

"But it's so obvious, you guys are totally meant for each other. And I'm guessing that there was something during that month he spent with you?"

I didn't answer her but the blush that was spreading across my face gave me away.

"I knew it! Think about it this way Bells, imagine that he never left you in Forks. I would assume that you guys would still be together even after all this time. So just think of this as a continuation of where you left off."

"Only that now he's a superstar and I'm a worker in a resort," I said sarcastically.

"Yeah, well, that's only a minor detail."

"A minor detail? Rose, in the situation we're in, I really don't think that counts as a minor detail. I mean, it would be so hard to have a relationship, what with all the press and media and…"

"Bells," she interrupted, "If you love him like I'm sure you do, there's no reason that you can't get over it together."

I smiled and hugged her, "Thanks Rose."

"Anytime. What are friends for? Now go get ready and go see him."

Rosalie left my room and I hurried to get changed. After I had dressed in another dress that Alice had picked out for me, I walked along the halls of the hotel buildings, wondering where he could be.

I walked past one of the dining halls when I heard the most beautiful sound coming out of the room. I had heard it only a few times before, one of which was during the best month of my life.

I quietly crept inside the room and leaned against a pillar, watching Edward play on the piano. I had often heard how his performances were breathtaking but this… this was beyond incredible.

His eyes were closed and there was a gentle smile playing on his lips. His fingers were moving fluidly across the piano keys and he was singing softly to himself in his perfect velvet voice.

It was the song. My song.

The song came to a close and I stepped behind him, wrapping my arms around his chest.

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

EPOV

When I had woken up, it took me a while to remember why I was feeling like this. This happiness and joy inside me was something that I had not felt in a long time.

Then I remembered… Bella.

Last night had been perfect. More than that because I had been with her.

I quickly got dressed and ate breakfast and walked down to one of the halls where I knew they kept a piano. I sat down and stared at the keys.

It had been so long since I had played, so long since I had sung. For quite a while, I had not felt my heart sing quite like it did when I was with Bella. It was like when she was with me, I opened up my heart that had been dead for so long. I now felt the need for music again and it was because of her.

I placed my hands over the keys and started playing her song.

I closed my eyes and started singing. From the moment I had composed it, I had it memorized. There was no need for sheet music because I was playing it from my heart.

Bella's song. Bella's lullaby.

The song finally came to a finish. I smiled, elated that I could play again. The first time in weeks and it felt like it had been an eternity.

I had been concentrating so hard on playing that I had not heard the door open behind me, nor did I notice that a person had entered the room until they wrapped their arms around my chest.

"Bella," I breathed, instantly recognizing her scent. I twisted around quickly so that she was sitting on my lap. She had a most distinctive scent, it somehow smelled of strawberries and freesia at the same time. I had never smelt something so addictive.

"How was your night?" she asked.

"Lonely without you," I replied, playing with her hair.

She smiled before her face turned serious. "Edward, we need to talk."

"Talk?" I repeated, "About what?"

She was going to say that she didn't like me anymore, that she thought that it was best if we didn't get involved with each other, that…

"No! Nothing like that," she said quickly as though she knew what was going on in my head.

"Oh," I said, relaxing, "What about?"

"Well," she said hesitantly, "Where this leaves us."

I frowned at her words. Honestly, I had thought of this a great deal. Last night after I walked her back to her room, I had lain awake for most of the night trying to figure out what was going on with the two of us.

"Bella, I want nothing more than to be with you. I can't believe that I've live so long without being close to you and I don't think I could take it if we were separated again. I'm already too many years too late and I'm not about to let you go now. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want to be with you. So badly that it hurts."

She thought about then opened her mouth to speak.

"I feel the same way Edward," she said, looking down at our hands which were now intertwined. "But, I've never had much experience with relationships so I was just wondering…"

She blushed. I smiled, gently touching her cheeks. Even when we were teenagers, she blushed so frequently. I found it hard to believe that someone could blush so easily.

"Are you serious Bella? A pretty girl like you has never been in a relationship?" I teased.

"Well, I guess I just never forgot you," she said, looking into my eyes.

I found myself entranced by her eyes. They held so much depth and emotion in them that it felt as if I was looking into the very inner workings of her mind.

"Bella," I said carefully, "I'm not going to pretend this is going to be easy. I mean I am a celebrity," I spat out the word in distaste, hating that it separated me from her. "So they'll likely be press and media when we announce that we're going out. Can you handle your life and who you are being out in the spotlight for all to see?"

"I'd do anything just to stay with you, Edward," she said, her head nestling into my chest.

We stayed like that for a while, just sitting there with each other, not talking, simply enjoying each other's company that we had been denied for so long. I never felt the need to fill the silence with talk, it was comfortable just being with Bella.

"Bella," I whispered. "I have to know, do you honestly not blame me for leaving?"

She looked up at me, love and happiness filling her eyes.

"No," she said simply.

"But, why?" I questioned, frustrated that I couldn't tell what was going in her mind. Most people were so easy to read but with Bella, it was always a mystery.

"Edward, think of it this way. If you hadn't left Forks, where would we be?"

"I would like to imagine that we would be together," I answered. Like I knew we were meant to be, forever.

"Exactly. Just think that this is simply continuing from where we left off."

"So we're just going to forget that time that we spent away from each other?"

She nodded.

I buried my head in her hair, inhaling her scent again. "I'll never forgive myself for staying away from you. Not if I live for a hundred years."

"So in plain terms, are you my girlfriend?" I asked her.

She blushed once again, "I suppose so, I've never had one though," she answered.

"What, a girlfriend?" I teased.

She hit me playfully on the arm, then said, "Edward, shut up and kiss me."

"I'd be happy to oblige," I said before kissing her softly. Our kiss started to deepen but I had a nagging thought that I needed to discuss with her.

"Bella," I said, breaking off from the kiss, "If we're going to have this relationship, then we need to be open with each other."

"What are you getting at Edward?"

"Bella, I need to get something off my chest. I need to tell you about Tanya."
