Previously,
Third Person's POV
And so went the rest of the after noon, looking through all the drawings from their past. Some from when she was still human, others from years after she was turned but all in great detail. The Cullen's were amazed at her memory of her human life, especially to get such clear details. But it was what was in the last page that really brought the past to life for Edward and Bella...
Bella's POV
Confusion was in the air. Of course Edward wouldnt remember! I almost wanted to slap myself in the head. Could I get any denser?? Edward continued to just stare at the paper, as if it was scream the answer out. With a light giggle, I took the sheet, and grabbed his hand in mine, dragging him over to the piano I spotted hiding in the corner. The beautiful black piano was spotless looking brand new. I gently pushed him into the seat placing the sheets infront of him.
Neisse got up and handed me a case. I looked up at her surprised. I didnt even know she had this with her still. Unshed tears came to my eyes as I pulled her in a hug. Looking her in the eye I tried to convey what I needed her to do. Luckily she understood. She walked over to Alice - who was jumping up and down like the little pixie she is - and they ran off. I could feel everyones eyes on my, their gazes burning me. After a few seconds, Neisse and Alice glided into the room carrying a drum set between them setting it up near the piano. I opened the case and pulled out my old violin from my human years. The violin looked nearly new.... I owe my daughter thanks I guess, for fixing it up for me. She really was too good to be true.
When I raised my eyes, I found myself lost straight into the topaz eyes in front of me. With a smile I nodded, raising the violin ready to play....
Edward's POV
Everyone had basically the same thoughts, What are they DOING? If only I knew. I watched as Bella pulled out a violinand position herself, ready to play. She nodded to me wearing that sweet smile of hers. My eyes quickly glanced around the room at everyone and was surpirsed to see Neisse sitting behind a drum kit. When did that get in here?? Hmmm...
I turned back to the piano, staring at the sheets infront of me. I'm guessing I'm suppose to play. I quickly scanned the sheet. Looked easy enough. I noticed words underneath the music notes. To sing or not to sing? That is the question.
Sing Edward. Alice's thoughts hit me. Dont worry, just let yourself go. Trust me and trust Bella. You will sound great.
With a sigh I positioned my hands and started to play...
Third Person's POV
Edward sighed and started to play. He pressed lightly on the keys at first, as if afraid of ruining the song but Bella knew better. She knew deep down, some part of him remembered this song. After a few bars, Neisse came in with the drums, very lightly making sure you could still hear the piano more. And than, he sang.
(Learn You Inside Out - Lifehouse)
See my feet on the ground
But it feels like the worlds gravity drowned
When I'm with you I'm high
Bella come in with the violin. Swaying back and forth with the music, she was drawn in.
Instead of hiding my face
My minds in your eyes
Can your love embrace
Me as I am
In the silence you stare at the world
Your eyes are screaming to be heard
I want to learn you inside out
The Cullen's were captivated, holding onto each other for dear life as they watched on. Edward hunched over the piano... completely lost in the music.
When Time isn't on our side
All we have now
For the rest of our lives
Let's stay up all night
In the silence you stare at the world
Your eyes are screaming to be heard
I want to learn you inside out
All that changes is time
Can't keep you inside of me
You're out of my mind
I wear you on my sleeve
In the silence you stare at the world
your eyes are screaming to be heard
I want to learn you inside out
Edward's head turned to the side. He stared at Bella as he sang the next lines. Watching the way she too was caught in the harmony of their emotions.
I see all that you want to be
Look into your soul
Looking right back at me
I want to learn you inside out
For a moment after the music stopped, no one moved. Everyone was frozen, stuck in the meoldy. Sitting in awe of the music that played the chords of their hearts.
Bella's POV
After we finished, it took me a while to come off my high. Only one word came to mind... Wow. Edward stayed seated at the piano, just staring at his hands. Almost as if her could feel my gaze, his head snapped around. I could see the curiosity in his eyes. Slowly I walked over, sitting down next to him. I placed my violin onto of the piano and grabbed his hands in my own, holding on tightly.
"T-that song Edward," I started but couldnt finish. Taking a deep breath I tried again. "That song was writing by your father. He wrote it as an anniversary present for your mother." Silence followed my words. I could feel Edward tense under my fingertips. Everyone else seemed to just fade away as I continued to stare in his eyes. Multiple emotions flickered through them. Confusion, love, understanding, and finally pain. His eyes slowly left mine to the piano infront of him.
"Thank you." He whispered.
The silence that followed was deafening. It wasnt til Esme pointed out the time that any of us realised we had been there all night talking. But it was the second part that knocked my breath out of my chest....
There was school tomorrow. Oh, joy.
