Me: But why?
SM: Because, I'm the one who made Twilight happen. Without me, the saga wouldn't even exist.
Me: *thinks it over and nods, sighing* Good point... But can I have Jasper?
Alice: HELL NO!
Me: PIXIE ALICE! *tackles and clings to the pixie* I choose her! *pouts at SM when she shakes her head.
SM: Nope!
Me: Damn you all...
Edward: Too late.
Me: Fuck you Eddie! FINE I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT, HAPPY?
All of them: Yeah.
Me: -_-
BPOV
Sigh. Only a few more songs to go. This is torture. Why did that stupid CD have to fall... WHY ME?
The screen lightened and showed the Cullen's driveway. They looked at me, I was blushing badly.
"Just watch and STOP LOOKING AT ME!" I said, grumbling. They laughed and nodded. Bella's voice sounded from behind the camera.
"Well, for the first time in a few months, I am walking to the Cullen's house." She trips over a rock or something, making Bella and the camera fall. "OW! Okay . . . Make that, I was walking to the Cullen's house. I fell again. . ." She got up and started walking again.
When Bella gets to the door, she hesitates. A deep breath is heard before her hand pushes the door open, showing furniture covered in white sheets.
"Okay, so I guess, they wanted to make a quick retreat from this town, telling by the fact that everything is still here. Hm, I hope the piano is still where it was last time... Before Jasper fell onto it."
Jasper sighed. "Sorry Bella... Again." I looked at him with amused eyes.
"It's okay Jasper, I'm just happy that you guys got a new one before ya'll left."
"Aha! Found the piano." In the dim light you can see a brand new black piano. "This is perfect."
Bella set the camera on top of the piano while she sat down on the bench. Her eyes skimmed over the keys, before her small hand swept over them, making notes hang in the air.
I felt Edward's eyes turn to me, but I continued staring at the T.V..
"I know I told Esme that I don't play the piano, but I lied. I didn't want to play at the time, but now I do. I want them to see how talented I am... That I can actually do something right, and not screw everything up. I'm sorry, emotions getting in the way." She doesn't look up from the piano keys as she plays a few high, tinkling notes that hang.
"Maybe I should start playing. This song is called Forever and Always. I made it when I was thinking about some promises Edward made me. Looks like some were not kept." Bella starts playing and sings in a heartbreaking voice. The dim, grey light coming in from the window casting a shadow on her face, her eyes closed.
Once upon a time
I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
We caught onto something, I hold on to the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened? Please tell me
'Cause one second it was perfect
Now you're half way out the door
And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said, forever and always
Oh, oh and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
I was there when you said forever and always
Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest
Made you run and hide like a scared little boy?
I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
So here's to everything, coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone; he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when he said forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, I don't think so
Oh, oh
Oh, back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?
Back up, baby, back up, did you forget everything?
back up , baby back up, please back oooh back up
back up baby back up
'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
And I stare at the phone he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you can't feel nothin' at all
And you flashback to when we said forever and always!
Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it, baby, you said forever and always,
Yeah
Bella slows down and opens her eyes. After blinking a few times, she takes her hands off the piano keys and looks straight into the camera. "Forever and always... Yeah, we can only wish right?" She looks at her watch and yelps, falling off the piano bench. "OW! Dammit... Okay, well I got to home and hopefully fix the giant bruise on my head. Bye!"
She reaches up from the ground and turns off the camera. The screen turns black.
The first thing I felt was Edward kissing my nose and temple. I looked at him with wide eyes. Awkward...
"Why didn't you tell me you could play Bella?" Esme asked me, looking hurt. I sighed.
"I just didn't want to be the center of attention. Besides, at the time I couldn't play as good as that," I said, shrugging. Esme nodded and soon, she towed me to Edward's piano.
"Play! Please? For me?" Esme said, pouting. I nodded and turned to the keys, wondering what to play. Oh, I know. What about Mine? That will be perfect. But, it's supposed to be on a guitar... Eh oh well. I always wanted to do this song on a piano.
I smiled at everyone of the Cullens, even Rosalie. And without a word, I turned back to the keys and played swiftly, my fingers flying over the keys. Then, I started to sing.
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
I let my voice grow a tiny bit stronger as my eyes unfocused, just letting the music flow through me. A smile was plastered onto my face as I looked out the window. My eyes drifted back to the keys as
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
My voice turned sad and I looked down at the keys. I gotta keep singing, no stopping now. I want Edward to hear this.
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
I let my voice grow stronger and looked back up, getting lost in the song even further. I even forgot that Edward and the others were standing behind me. Odd, I must have been sucked up deeply by my song.
You said I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
I can see it
I can see it now
I stopped playing and sighed. Esme's tear less sobs made me look at her. She rushed forward and hugged me tightly.
"That was so beautiful, sweetie!" Esme sobbed onto my shoulder and I awkwardly patted her shoulder in comfort.
"Um thank you? I actually made Mine a few weeks ago. While you were gone, Edward," I said, looking at him.
His smile dazzled me and he hugged me, kissing my lips gently. "That was the best song I heard in a hundred years, love."
I smiled and took notice that the TV was lightening again. I sighed, just a few more songs Bella, then it will be all over.
What you think? Like it or hate it? Sorry it took so long to update. Forgive me. Review!
