A/N: Hey guys, please read and review, and suggestions please, even if they sound incredibly stupid there is no such thing as a bad idea in my eyes. Unless it 'Go kill yourself!' 'cos that is wrong and very, very stupid
Edward POV
When I saw Alice's thoughts I almost fainted. Bella looked like that!? I didn't think of her dressed like a preppy girl. I didn't like her changing who she is for my sister. But she didn't make her look half bad either, Bella looked amazing!
"What up bro?" Emmett asked, seeing my expression. I gulped, Emmett hearing this clear as if he was in my throat. "Eddie! Tell me or I'll force it out of you."
"Fine!" I growled, "I- I read Alice's mind and saw her dressing up Bella. Picking out stiff to make her look 'cute'." Suddenly Emmett began to howl with laughter. "What is so funny?" I demanded, his childish attitude was insufferable at the easiest of moments, yet NOW, now of all times he could decide to be himself is when I am having difficulty reading what Bella is thinking, but can see what Bella looks like perfectly in my little sisters' mind.
"You like her!" he accused, my head shooting up from where rested on my fists.
"I do not, I can't!" that fuelled his point perfectly.
"Ding, ding, ding! We have our true answer!" he bellowed. "It's not that you don't, like her it is that you won't allow yourself to, because she is human." I stood up to face his bulky figure.
I snarled a little, "You try feeding that to everyone else, they will not allow it! So let it go!" I ordered, the door sounding a light tap. Emmett shot for the door but I threw myself at him, pushing him to the floor with an evident thud. I straightened myself up as Emmett yelled at me.
You can do this Edward, she is just a human. You are an amazing vampire that can- EDWARD! Open the damn door! Alice thought to me. I snapped out of my thoughts and swung the door open. "Hi!" I exclaimed. Bella's eyes widened in fear at me, but they relaxed just after I had noticed.
She was wearing an asymmetric 80's style shirts, this look was 'in' now according to my sisters. She had a mini shirts coming up about two inches from her knees, not as short as majority of the student body of girls. Her tube socks, the circles around the calf matching the colour of her bra strap, a beautiful ocean blue. There was an inch of space between the skirt and the socks. Topping off her look with converse, with the different shades of blue creating a jigsaw look. I nodded in acceptance, hearing a sigh of relief, did she expect something else. "Bella, you look... different." I managed to utter, so quiet I thought she didn't hear me but her response caught me off guard.
"G-good different?" she squeaked, looking at me from under her eyelashes, did she know how Alice rolls or something. I taught her that! She smirked.
"Um, a v-very good different. But it's just not you," I stated, she looked away, probably calculating how far she could get away before Alice caught her to drag her back. "Not meant, in an awful way, I just heard it for myself. Come in," I offered, Alice walking in confidently Bella still stood on the spot. "Bella?" I asked, she was out of it, in her dream land. I picked her up into my arms, her scent delectable to my tastes, a burning fire arose in my throat but I fought back the venom. I carried her in, shock lit upon her face in a very obvious manner.
She gasped a little and then looked to me. "What are you doing?" she asked, looking at me like I was crazy.
"You weren't responding so I carried you in, are you okay with that?" before she blinked she blurted out.
"No! That is not a problem at all, just wondering. Th-that's all," she liked me? I don't know, she is hard to read without my gift. What was she thinking? Why can't I hear her thoughts? Was she thinking about me?
I set her down to her feet, her hands still locked around my neck. I lowered myself to her reach, not wanting to drop her. "Bella?"
"Yes?" she breathed.
"You haven't let go," I coughed. Emmett let out a huge laugh.
"Hey Bells!" he grinned lifting her up over his shoulder, he motioned to her butt with his hand, I glared, wanting to pounce but that would be reckless. Good Eddie! He chuckled in his head, setting her down on his lap in front of the TV. "You look cute today," he winked, my rage kicked up further.
DON'T! Edward don't be an idiot! Alice thought to me, I nodded and sat down next to them, lifting Bella over me, dropping her on the seat next to me. "You have a girlfriend Emmett, what would Rose say if she saw that, Bella on your lap?" I asked, Emmett's smirk dying to ashes.
Bella POV
I can walk damn it! I am being babied by people I barely know! "You have a girlfriend Emmett, what would Rose say if she saw that, Bella on your lap?" Edward piped up, I watched as Emmett's smirk disappeared into nothing but a scared, worried frown. Edward chuckled lightly, smiling his crooked smile I noticed yesterday.
All of a sudden, 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' by Kelly Clarkson boomed out of my cell, it was Charlie. "1 sec," I smiled, walking over into the corner. "Hey dad!"
"You aren't settled in yet?" he asked, oh right, I didn't call.
"Nope, I'm never settled until I have a regime. I haven't discovered it yet, you know that." I laughed, he laughed a short laugh from home.
"You are right, I should rephrase, 'when you are unpacked.'" I nodded, looking at the other people in the room, all but Edward looking away.
"Well I am unpacked, Alice gave me a make-over today too," I huffed, he really laughed at this. "I hate make-over's but her brothers seem to like it better than my flannel shirts and-"
"Brothers?" he asked, stern and father like now, I couldn't say, 'roommates seem to like it' no! I had to tell the truth. Stupid Bella.
"Yeah, nothing to worry about dad," I changed to a very light whisper, "They don't like me like that," I whispered, he suddenly let out a huge sigh of happiness, then another sigh of dread.
"You are with them aren't you," he accused, I laughed a little, very falsely and he knew he was right.
"Yeah dad they are here, but Alice just wanted a second opinion of her work, nothing more!" I rushed.
"Okay Bells, I trust you." He sighed, "I have to go back to work, I will see you at Christmas."
"Yeah dad, I love you!" I called.
"Ditto baby," the phone clicked and then I shut my phone. I sat back where I was and knocked my head back over the couch.
Edward was suddenly at my face. I shot back, knocking my forehead on his chin. "Ow crap!" I cursed.
"Sorry!" he yelled, rushing around the couch to look at my head. "I was just going to ask whether you were in trouble or not?"
"Not technically!" I groaned, "how hard is your chin!?" I asked, looking at his guilty face. I suddenly burst into laughter. He looked extremely puzzled. "I am such an idiot. How did we manage that?" I laughed, no one quite got what I meant but I didn't care. I have always laughed in awkward situations.
"You have concussion!" Edward said, a serious tone now heavy on his voice.
"I don't, I'm just, really weird forget it!" I laughed, "what do you guys want to do?" I asked, perking up though my forehead was throbbing uncontrollably.
"I think, we should show Bella our acts, and vice versa." Alice suggested, everyone automatically getting up. "Let's go Bella!" she smiled, pulling me up from my chair. I groaned, no one outside of the auditioning room and family had seen me sing, yet by my stupidity of asking a question I am now to sing in front of total strangers. It's practice Bella, just practice. I said to myself as we walked to the auditorium.
The place was empty, thank the lord. Edward, Emmett and Jasper got up onto the stage. Edward brought out a mike. "Hey, we are 'Cullen Coordinated' and this is 'I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off'
It was only mere seconds before Edward pure, angelic voice entered the big hall.
#Last year's wishes
Are this year's apologies
Every last time I come home
I take my last chance
To burn a bridge or two
I only keep myself this sick in the head
Because I know how the words get you {off}
We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger but not any better off
Bullet proof loneliness
At best, at best
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Collect the bad habits
That you couldn't bear to keep
Out of the woods but I love
A tree I used to lay beneath
Kissed teeth stained red
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds
We're the new face of failure
Prettier and younger but not any better off
Bullet proof loneliness
At best, at best
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
The best way
To make it through
With hearts and wrists intact
Is to realize
Two out of three ain't bad
Ain't bad
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
(Honeymoon)
Setting in a honeymoon
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I wake up next to you
If I woke up next to you
Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I wake up next to you
(Honeymoon)#
My applause was there before I even knew I was clapping. "You like it Bella?" Edward asked through the mike, my head bobbing like it was floating on water. "Your turn," he smirked. I shook my head and pointed to Alice. She shot up and danced onto the stage. The rock equipment the band was holding had been exchanged with classical instruments. Emmett was on bass, Jasper was on clarinet and Edward had the violin. The lights dimmed on the stage and then I spotlight beamed down on the Alice, in what I can only assume was a ballet pose. She rose a little, second by second until she had risen to full length. She spun on the tip of her toes to lean onto her left knee. She fluttered around the stage gracefully until the end of the beautiful music and she dropped to her knees, let her back fall to the floor too.
I was mesmerised, now I really needed something to get me out of this. They were too good to have me go up after them. "Now, it is your turn," he smirked. I shook my head again, "please Bella, you can't have stage fright in front of 5 people, how will you last in front of millions?" he pouted and I knew then that I had to get up and sing one of my mediocre songs.
"Fine, but it isn't half as good as those performances. Don't laugh!!" I yelled, grabbing an acoustic guitar from its stand. I sighed, strummed a little and began to think of the perfect song to play.
#I never promised you a ray of light,
I never promised there'd be sunshine every day,
I give you everything I have, the good, the bad.
Why do you put me on a pedestal,
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below,
So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there.
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
you wouldn't say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you
I always said that I would make mistakes,
I'm only human, and that's my saving grace,
I fall as hard as I try
So don't be blinded
See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin,
so pull me from that pedestal,
I don't belong there.
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
you wouldn't say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you
Why you think that you know me
But In your eyes
I am something above you
It's only in your mind
Only in your mind
I wear a
I wear a
I wear a Halo
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
you wouldn't say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you
Haaaa ha-ha halo (x9)#
There was silence for a little while. I wasn't sure whether to open my eyes or not, I wanted to open them to smiles rather than to held in laughter. "I see why we accepted you now Bella," I heard Carlisle say. My eyes shot open, in shock that he was watching, and also that he liked it. I went beet root red and began to fumble with my guitar, losing my balance on the stool in fright. I expected to feel the guitars impact from falling onto me and my back hit the hard wood, but instead something just as hard caught my weight. I looked up to see Edward.
"What? You were over there!" I said, pointing to the small crowd of people.
He shook his head defiantly, "I snuck backstage," he admitted sheepishly, though I am sure that he was right in front of me when I opened my eyes. I must be tired, but I slept fine after 4 am.
"Are you sure?" I asked, my eyes narrowed onto his golden orbs. He grimaced and nodded. "You're losing it Bella." I grunted to myself, letting Edward take my hand to bring me to my feet. When I was on my feet I looked up to his face, his ochre eyes locked on mine, we just stood there for a moment, looking into each other's eyes. Then all of a sudden his concentration broke he looked away.
"Are you going to do this without falling, or do I have to carry you everywhere now?" he laughed, I playfully smacked his arm but I wouldn't let him know that that hurt more than any stumble I had encountered. He winced though so it wasn't an effort wasted.
I wanted him to carry me, but that would be pathetic, I should feel this hard, so soon. I have known him less than 24 hours yet I want to stay with him forever. I shouldn't feel like this so soon, or about anyone! I am 17, not 21. I don't like feeling this way; it just makes me even more... vulnerable.
Edward POV
Why am I so comfortable with a... human? I am the world's most deadly predator. I lure people in on looks alone, like I need it. I could like a butt pimple and still get my prey, I may not drink from humans, but that doesn't mean I won't if I lose control.
Then her clumsy personality trait reared its ugly head when Carlisle in interrupted her peace after her song was done. She began to wobble and fumble with the guitar before my very eyes and I knew she was about to fall. Anyone would have just let it happen, but before I could think of where I was, she was in my arms, her guitar in my other. My eyes widened in shock before she looked up to me.
"What? You were over there!" she exclaimed, pointing to the small crowd of people, shocked, horrified and a little afraid.
"I snuck backstage," I admitted, lying. I did my best to look sheepish and she bought it.
"Are you sure?" she asked, still positive I was lying. I nodded, to knock in the final nail into her belief in me. "You're losing it Bella." She muttered to herself and I took her hand to help her up to her feet. When she was as tall as she would go, her beautiful hazel eyes gazed up to into my golden ones. I stood there for a minute. Me, a vampire having a special only-in-the-movies kind of moment.
Edward! Snap out of it! Carlisle thought to me, my head suddenly shooting back into action as I stared at my father for all intent and purposes. Good boy he praised, I wasn't happy about obeying this particular command but it had to be done, who knows whether my mouth would fill to the brim with venom, or whether it would end well, but either way we can't take chances. People notice missing people nowadays. I took her hand again and led her back to the seats.
"That was amazing Bella!" Alice crooned as she came into arms length. She pulled Bella into one her all famous iron tight hugs, I rolled my eyes and approached my father.
"We need to talk Edward," he whispered, I knew the others heard it but Bella on the other hand did not. I nodded, turning back to the hyper Alice with the blushing Bella. I guess her performance was more embarrassing than I thought
"I have to get going, see you later guys," I sighed, waving to them goodbye. The Bella kept her eyes on my back as I left with my father. Although I knew where to go, he guided me with his hand on my shoulder, a fatherly thing to do. In the privacy of his office we were instantly settled in our seats. "Carlisle, I-"
"No, listen." He hushed, placing a hand up in the air in protest. "She makes you happy, I know she does no question." It was true, that was why I wasted time with her. I could be focusing on yet another year in this damn school, but I didn't need to anymore, I just spent time writing more songs I would never be able to play. "And you, your mother and I would love for you to be happy, but she is just so..."
"Mouth watering? Delicious? Irresistible?" I suggested, his head very rigidly nodding in agreement to my options. "I know that, and that is exactly why I am with her. It is so difficult to stay away from her and I, I don't know why," I cursed, grimacing as I spoke. He motioned for me to lean forward to him.
He took my shoulders. "I can't fathom the pain it must take not to, take her. But son, you mustn't and for safety, stay clear of her, as much as possible." I wanted to fight; it was more complex than just thirst. She was a nice girl, MY kind of girl. She was cute (a plus), shyer than most girls of her age, and she comes across as my type. If vampires can have types other than their own. There! Right there is exactly why I can't keep this up, she is so breakable. This has to stop now.
"I will, dad." I muttered, clearly not happy, making him sigh. I don't like doing this to you, or anyone but it's beneficial for us all, not just the rest of us. You will see it soon. I nodded, and got up to leave. I love you Edward. "Love you too dad." He must really feel guilty about this; he never says I love you except for in front of humans. He means it but I am just too peed off to even think about accepting his out of the way apology.
My phone blurted out Alice's ringtone and I sighed. She saw it in a vision of course. I pulled it out of my pocket and flipped it open. "You can't do this to me, she is my friend too!" I heard her cry.
"Alice, I can't take risks with her." I groaned, she knew I hated this, everyone knew it and if they didn't know now, they would soon. "Don't make her feel too left out," I said.
"I won't make her feel that way at all, because I am not going to stop. She is my friend and I'm not the one who is in-" I shut the phone in anger and stormed back to my dorm. I was alone for a moment, and then the guys ran in.
I groaned and walked to my room, normally my family lets me brood for a while but not today. Before I could even get 5 feet toward my door handle Emmett was bracing me to the floor. I struggled but stopped, it was stupid to try and battle someone as physically large as Emmett. "What do you want?" I yelled.
"You hung up on Alice, that made her upset you know?" jasper fumed, it wasn't my feelings of rage that made him like that. It was because I was rude to Alice. "Why did you do it?"
"She made me really mad!" I boomed, making Emmett flinch a little.
"What did she do?" he shot back at me.
"She was telling me what I didn't want to hear," I forced, if I didn't reason, I would never be allowed to sulk about my sacrifice. What was it? Emmett thought. "She was going to tell me that I am in love with Bella, which I am not!"
Emmett grinned at me, what wasn't I getting? If you don't love her then why do you want to sulk about it? He thought, that was a good point, but I would never give him the satisfaction of having a point. "Here is my theory, you do love Bella, but you are too damn stubborn to admit it. Jasper? What do you think?"
So what DO you think? R & R with your responses, tell if you loved it, if you hated it, if you didn't really understand I will pm you personally with answers. I am that kind of writer. If you have any ideas what –so-ever for songs, ideas for storylines or any characters you want me to add then leave that too! I just want to know what you think, thanks for reading.
Chapter 3 coming to a fanfic near you!
