"Jasper! Jasper! JASPERJASPERJASPER!" my more-often-than-not irritating brother Emmett screamed. "I signed us up to perform a song at school!" he yelled excitedly.
"Why?" I asked confusedly. This was random, even for Emmett.
"Because I wanted to, duh."
"Well, what song are we performing?"
"Uh, I haven't gotten that far yet."
"Good, you can't choose. Not after that incident in 1992." We both shuddered at the repressed memory.
"Fine. Just don't choose something stupid."
"Do I look like Edward to you?"
"I heard that!" we heard our other brother yell up the stairs.
"Good!" Emmett and I yelled back.
"As I was saying," I said, "I already have a song in mind and it's awesome."
"It better be."
"It is."
"What song?" I told him. "Oh my gosh. I LOVE that song!" he squealed in a very unmanly way.
"What song?" Bella, who happened to be walking (and miraculously not tripping) by, asked.
"You'll see, dear Bella," I said. "You'll see."
"You guys… and girl," I added hastily, "ready?"
"I was created ready!" Emmett said while Edward and Alice merely nodded. We walked onstage and picked up our respective instruments (except for Alice, who played the drums). My siblings started playing and after a few moments' pause, I started singing.
"The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and
Save me from this
Make it end!
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
The secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged, but I can't control it
Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
It's hiding in the dark
Its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I'm gonna lose control
It's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!
I, I feel like a monster!"
I finished singing and smirked at the awestruck crowd before making my way offstage with my siblings. We met Carlisle, Esme (who had come to watch), Bella, and Rosalie backstage.
"Oh, you guys were great," Esme gushed while my "twin" Rosalie arched an eyebrow at my song choice.
"Good job," Carlisle said.
"Thanks Mom, Dad," I said before sticking my tongue out at Rose. She rolled her eyes. I rolled mine back and turned to look at Bella.
"Jasper, that was… wow," she said breathlessly.
"Yeah, I know," I replied, pretending to be haughty.
"What about my bass playing?" Emmett whined.
"It was excellent," Esme said soothingly. Emmett nodded, satisfied.
"That song made me thirsty. Let's go before I lose control." I smiled happily as my family groaned at my horrible joke. "Come on, I can't hold it." They groaned again. "I don't want you to see my secret side of me. It's personal."
"Jasper!" they yelled. I grinned even wider.
"It's true."
The End
A/N: I thought the ending was kind of weak. Oh, well. Maybe I'll fix it later. The song was "Monster" by Skillet. I was listening to it one day when I thought, "OMG! This is such a Jasper song!" I didn't actually write it until a few months after I thought of it. I have procrastination problems. Anyways, read and review!
