Wow, what an amazing response with such a small number of views! This story is on my computer at work so it's only today I've gotten a chance to finish it. Each chapter will only be about 800-1,200 words until they get 'older'. Each chapter will also skip 1 or 2 years until it reaches the end of the song per say. I might expand it beyond that, depending on the feedback and amount of interest!
You may have noticed I also changed the Title and Summary, don't worry though, nothing in the first chapter has changed.
I'm sorry if my writing is a little off compared to my other story. Keep in mind that I am telling this story from a child's POV and trying to get into that mindset when I'm tired is hard!
I hope you enjoy, and can't wait to hear what you think!

EPOV
"Edward, stop!" Bella screamed in a high pitch voice as I chased her with my water gun. I laughed when she almost slipped on the wet grass and sprayed her again.
"It's not funny Edward!" Alice said as she held out a hand for Bella and both of them took off around the corner of the house. I chased them and of course I was faster, but when I turned the corner, I felt water hit me in directly in my face.
"Hey!" I held up my hands trying to stop the water but Bella and Alice kept spraying me. That's not fair, it's two against one. Ugh, where is Em? The water stopped when their guns were empty.
"It's only fair." Bella said placing her hands on her hips. "You had Em but Rosie came so he went with her." She giggled when she heard Emmett shout from the edge of the pool where he and Rose were sitting.
"I don't like it when you spray me in the face, it's not nice." I argued, coming up with a plan to get them in trouble.
My dad and Bella's dad do everything together which mean we have to always be together. We're still in the same class at school but we are in grade five now, and I'm way smarter. Alice is her best friend and Jasper is mine, even though Emmett is my brother. He's in grade seven and don't play with us as often.
"Don't be a sore loser Edward; we won so we get to pick the movie, that's the rules." Alice said with a nod, she was always on Bella's side even though she's my twin sister.
"I'm not playing anymore. I'll go watch a movie with Em and Rosie." I smiled as I walked away knowing that I won't have to watch a girl movie.
When I got to where Em and Rosie were sitting near the pool, Rosie looked at me with a frown, "Emmy, tell your smelly brother to go away." I looked at her then Em.
"Rosie…" He gave her a sad look. "He's my brother and Jasper is gone on vacation. Mom and Dad told me I had to include him. I'll get in trouble if I don't and won't be able to see you for a whole week." He gave her puppy dog eyes and she sighed loudly.
"Fine, he can stay." She crossed her arms, glaring at me. Em gave her a kiss on her forehead. Eww, gross!
I ignored them as I jumped in the pool making a huge splash. I plugged my nose as I went under the water and when I came back up for air, I saw that Rosie and Em were glaring at me. Oops. When I had jumped in the pool, I got them both wet.
"Sorry," I laughed and swam to the other side.
Two hours later…
Swimming alone was boring! Em and Rosie ignored me the entire time, so I decided to go find Ali and Bella instead.
As I walked up the stairs and got closer to Ali's room, I could hear Ali and Bella giggling at the movie they were I opened the door, I could see they were sitting on beanbags chairs. We both had two each; a small one and a couch one, that one can seat two people on it. Ali was on the small one, and Bella was on the bigger one.
"What do you want, Edward?" Alice asked as she paused the movie.
"Mom said I could watch a movie with you guys." I said smiling.
"Nuh-uh, no way! Besides, we're watching Hotel Trans-o-l-vain-e-a twoand you said before it was a girl movie." Alice crossed her arms, and Bella did the same.
"MOM!" I yelled, stomping away. No one wants to play with me.
"Yes Edward?" She was cooking my favorite meal tonight, spaghetti and meatballs.
"Ali and Bella won't let me watch a movie with them." I wipe away pretend tears as she continues to stir the spaghetti in the pot on the stove. "I even told them you said so!"
"How about-" The phone rings on the counter next to her and she answers it. "Hello?"
I can hear a voice that sounds like Bella's dad but I'm not sure.
"Ch-Char-Charlie," she finally got out, after being cut off twice, "you need to calm down! Let me get Emmett to watch the kids and I'll come over. Carlisle should be home any minute as well."
"What's wrong mommy?" I asked.
"I need you to go upstairs with your sister and Bella until I get back. Don't leave the room, do you understand?" My mom said in her serious voice as she knelt to my level. I nodded and she kissed my head. "Emmett?" She sang out, walking towards the backyard.
I waited until mom and Em came back inside and then followed them and Rosie upstairs. Mom opened Ali's door and we heard the girls were laughing at the movie.
"Girls, I need you both and Edward to stay in this room with Rosalie and Emmett until I get back, okay? Emmett and Rosalie are in charge so you must listen to them. I won't be long, please behave, I love you."
"Love you too," we all said.
I sat down next to Bella because it was the only seat left. At first she scrunched up her nose and turned to look at Ali, but when she saw Ali watching the movie, she gave me a small smile and I gave her one back.
No one knows that I have a crush on Bella. She's my sister's best friend and Ali would make fun of me if I tell her, so I didn't tell anyone, not even Bella.
It's refreshing to write a short chapter even not and again!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Next chapter will be posted on Sunday (April 17)!
