Chapter 1
Best friends
Bella's POV
I was sitting in my room in the same house with the same baby blue walls my mom painted all those years ago. My mom died when I was only 3 and my dad is still around. I live in the same small town in Forks population 3,120 people. I have some friends Alice, Angela and her boyfriend Ben. Of course I have my best friend...Edward Cullen, Alice's brother. We have known each other since I was 9 years old. I tell him everything.
I am sitting here deciding what to write for a song I am working on. I play the guitar and I couldn't concentrate if only my mind wasn't somewhere else. I have always have had a crush on Edward but to chicken to tell him that I like him. It's to late know he has a girlfriend named Lauren. He absolutely hated her. If he broke up with her she was going to tell them why. As I was coming up with words to write for a song my phone went off. I liked who it was from Edward.
Edward: Hey whatcha doing?
Bella: Nothing trying to write a song...
Edward: Mind if I come over and help?
Bella: Sure no problem
Edward: See you in a few.
As I finally decide on what to write there's a knock on my bedroom window. Of course Edward was there. I opened it.
"Hey Bella"
"Hi Edward" I gave him a hug. He accepted
"Do I get to hear your song so far?"
"Um...Sure"
I started strumming the first of my song and started the lyrics
Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the roads a minefield
I can't follow the way you move
I can't see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you standing near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear
When your gone
Will I lose control
You're the only road I know
You show me were to go
Who will drive my soul
Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can't expect the hard curves
There"s no borders, there are no lines
How can I know were to turn
You make the street lights reappear
"That's all I have so far." Little does he know that all my songs are about him.
"I like it a lot."
"Thanks."
"Is there something wrong?"
"No nothing."
"Bella you can tell me I wont tell anyone."
"Ok...you remember Jacob Black right?"
"Ya aren't you two dating?"
"No not anymore I caught him cheating on me-" my voice broke and I could feel the my eyes watering up. Before I knew it Edward pulled me into a tight hug.
"Its ok Bella he was no good for you anyways"
"Ya I guess your right...How are things with Lauren?"
"Same old same old"
"Do you want to go for a walk at the park?"
"Ya sure."
Edward got his car out and we drove to the park. He took my hand and walked over to the swings. How I miss the days when Edward would push me when we were little. Now we just sit
on them and talk. I went to get up and I fell and fractured my ankle. I automatically dropped to the ground and whimpered in pain. Edward came to my side and helped me up.
"Can I take a look at your ankle?"
"Yes please.." I said crying.
"You have fractured it" he said hugging me good thing his father is a doctor even though Carlisle isn't his real father Edward says , he loves him the same as if he were. Edward's parents died when he was young. I am the only one who knows. Not even Lauren knows. I felt special. I looked up and got lost in his beautiful green eyes.
"I should take you home. Can you walk? Or should I carry you."
"I can't walk"
"Ok come on then."
He picked me up and drove me home. He climbed up my window to not disturb Charlie. He picked up my guitar and handed it to me.
"Can I hear another?"
"Sure....I wrote this for you since you're my best friend."
You always know what to say
you know what I am like on a specific day
Your always there with your arms ready
When we were little I called you Eddie
You always catch me if I fall
You are first if I need someone to call
You make me laugh and make my fears go away
There is nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
To make you go away
You are a true friend.....
As soon as I was done my song Edward pulled my into a hug and I hugged him back. It felt so good being in his arms why oh why wasn't he mine? I started to cry again and he whipped away my tears.
"GodBella that was beautiful thank you."
"Your welcome you truly are my best friend"
"I gotta go I'll see you at schoolBye!"
