Chapter Two: Bella's Song
We got home in the nick of time, Edward was still a led foot, I barley got in the front door before Esme had me in her arms.
"I saw your bags, I can't believe I wasn't home" said Esme as she hugged me.
"Grandma your cutting off my air supply!" I choked her bone crushing hug was making it feel like there was a huge weight in my chest.
"Oh sorry" said Esme releasing me, but she still smiled, "I took your bag up into your room" she said still smiling at me.
"Nessie!" said Carlisle hugging me, I smiled, "how was France?" he asked.
I thought for a moment, "French" I said grinning, he laughed.
"Come on I want to hear all about boarding school!" said Bella grabbing my hand and leading me away to the couch.
I smiled, I wouldn't have to tell them all using words.
As I grew, so did my power, I now didn't have to touch someone's face to show them a memory, I just had to be touching them, and if they were touching someone they'd see it too.
So me, Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Esme and Carlisle all sat down on the couch, they were all holding hands.
I smiled and closed my eyes, I pressed my fingertips to Bella's face and let the first memory flow through.
It was my first day at school, walking through the campus for the first time, I showed them everything, the grounds, the classrooms, my dorm, (Alice gasping when I showed her how small my closet was) the wreck room, even the shower block.
I showed them all my professors and all the marks I ever got for all my assignments or projects.
I showed them the friends I made, and where we'd go to hang out, finally I showed them my graduation, a bright sunny day.
I dropped my hand from Bella's face she was looking down and quite after I finished.
"Come on" said Alice grabbing my hand, "lets go unpack your things" she said smiling.
I rolled my eyes and let her pull me out of the seat, "only if you promise not to cringe at my shoes" I said pointedly.
Alice always had issues with my punk rocker style, she hated the fact that I wasn't really into high heels or dresses, or anything that had a label.
"Fine!" she said and we ran up the stairs to the second floor, I looked over my shoulder, I could see Dad wrapping his arms around Mum's shoulders, why was she sad? I almost stopped but Alice grabbed my hand and yanked me into my room.
I didn't really pay much attention as I sat on the bed, she opened my suite case and started throwing clothes around, she got about half way through when she realised I was still sitting motionless on the bed, I had been staring at the same piece of carpet on the floor for the last ten minuets.
"What's wrong?" she asked dropping one of my shirts to the ground and walking over to me, she sat on the bed, concern was written all over her face.
"What's the matter with Mum?" I asked quietly.
Was she not happy I was back? Did she not want me back? Had I done the surprise all wrong?
"Oh Nessie its not you! She mad with herself" said Alice.
That stumped me, "What is she mad about?" I asked I was still staring at the carpet.
"She's mad because she couldn't come to your first graduation, she's offended that you didn't tell us" said Alice
"But I was a bright sunny day, she couldn't of come anyway, and I knew it would make her upset" I said, now I was the one that was offended, did she not know me at all? I did it because it thought it was best for her.
"She knws that, she's just upset that she'll never be able to see you graduate" said Alice.
I rolled my eyes, "please give it a couple of weeks I'll see her graduate" I said
"You know what I mean, she wanted to be there for the first one, the first one is always special" she said grinning.
I went back to staring at the carpet, "so what do I do?" I asked
Alice shrugged, "you could let her buy you a present?" she said winking at me.
I pursed my lips in annoyance, I was like my Mum in the way I accepted gifts, I only took hand-me-downs, so instead of letting Edward buy me a new car we came to the compromise, he could buy Bella a new car and I would have her old Ferrari.
Bella didn't like this idea.
Instead of letting Bella buy me a brand new diamond necklace she gave me the one that Aro had given her.
The only gifts I ever accepted from anybody were my shoes, that was because they were my most favourite thing in the world EVER so I couldn't really say no when a brand new pair was waved in front of my face, as soon as Bella, Edward, Rose and Alice had realised this I soon had a very full shoe closet.
I stood up slowly, "maybe I could give her one" I said, I stood up and skidded down the hall way, I climbed onto the banister in one fluid movement and slid down it, I could hear Alice giggling as she watched me.
I could see Bella and Edward on the couch still, I slid off the banister and landed on the ground they both looked up at me.
"Come with me!" I demanded excitedly, Mum stood up and was looking at me, Dad was still on the couch he knew what I was up too, he smirked at me.
"What is it?" asked Bella, I grinned as I grabbed her hand and lead her over to the grand piano.
"Stand here" I said planting Bella at the front of the piano, I looked around, "Dad!" I called, he was at Mum's side instantly.
"Ok" I breathed as I sat down at the piano, Mum was staring at me perplexed.
I looked over at Alice who was leaning on the stair case, she smiled at me, Jasper came and stood by her.
Carlisle and Esme stood in the middle of the room as well looking at me.
Edward had his hands around Bella's waist and his head was resting on her shoulder.
"Right well I wrote this for a special occasion, I planned to give it to you on your birthday Mum, but seeing as I upset you with the whole not letting you come to my graduation thing, I thought I'd give it to you now" I said.
Bella opened her mouth to speak, "shush!" I said as I looked to the piano.
I written this song the first night I was at my new school, at one in the morning in the music room.
I began to play, I had kept my musical talent from my parents pretty well, they knew I had started to play but they didn't know how good I was.
I took an exam about two months ago, I was marked as a Grade Eight Piano player.
I started to play Mum's song, it wasn't as slow and sweet as Bella's Lullaby, it was slightly up more tempo than that, this song was about how much I missed her.
I played for a full three minuets, and as I did I was acutely aware of what everyone else was doing.
Jasper had grabbed hold of Alice's hand.
Carlisle and Esme had become increasingly still watching me, I think Carlisle's arm was around Esme's waist.
But Bella was the stillest person in the room, she looked as though she might cry, but her being a vampire, I knew that was impossible.
Edward was looking over Bella's shoulder at me, he didn't look sad, his face was relaxed and his eyes were closed.
I could sense all there emotions, it felt like a huge weight on my shoulders, I closed my eyes so I could concentrate on the song.
I played the last few notes, letting the last one linger like Edward always did, I smiled to myself, moister was brimming at my eyes, I blinked them back, this wasn't the time for that.
I opened my eyes to the sound of a few small claps, I didn't need a thunderous applause from Bella to know she liked it, the way her face looked was enough.
"That was wonderful Nessie" said Esme still clapping lightly.
"Thanks Grandma" I said smiling.
"You definitely inherited your Father's gift for music didn't you?" said Alice.
I shrugged trying to fight a grin that was threatening to break through on my face.
"Mum?" I asked turning to her and Edward for the first time since I had closed my eyes.
Edward was smiling pleasantly.
I looked to Bella but before I could blink she was hugging me.
"Thank you" said Bella.
I smiled, "sorry you couldn't come to my graduation" I mumbled into her hair.
She laughed, she then let me go and looked at me, still having hold of my shoulders, "What's the song called?" she asked.
"Um, I hadn't really named it yet, for now its just 'Bella's Song'" I admitted sheepishly.
She laughed again.
"How original" muttered Jasper from the corner.
