Welcome to my latest story! This is my absolute favourite story I have written because:

It has music in it! I LOVE music and singing (See my profile for more info) and this story uses some of my favourites songs :)

It is my longest story so far. I'm so proud :)

I made up 7 new characters :)

I'm sure there's other reasons that I just can't remember at the moment, but for now, please enjoy :D Takes place in New Moon.

Stephenie Meyer is the lovely owner of Twilight :) I don't own the song either.

"Damn it, Bella! I'm sending you to Jacksonville!" Charlie yelled as he slammed his fist down on the table.

"Why?" I asked, hurt. Didn't he want me around? I was always well behaved, why did I deserve to be shipped off to a place I didn't want to be?

"Because I'm sick of this! Watching you try so hard to act normal, it hurts me Bella. Maybe if you go to Jacksonville you'll be able to get over this," Charlie said.

"I'm not going to Jacksonville, I haven't done anything wrong," I said stubbornly. I didn't care about much anymore, but this was the one thing I was decided on. I wouldn't- no I couldn't leave Forks. If I did, how would I ever really know he existed? I couldn't risk losing what little I had left of them.

"I know Bells, but that's the thing. You don't do anything. When was the last time you saw any of your friends?" he asked.

"Yesterday at lunch," I said defensively.

"Out of school. You never see anyone or answer any calls. Just the other day Jessica Stanley called to invite you to her party tonight and you never called back," he said.

"Fine, I'll call Jess and tell her I'm going to the party, but I'm not going to Jacksonville," I said, my teenage instincts taking over. I marched over to the phone and dialled Jess' number.

"Hello," I heard her voice through the receiver.

"Hey Jess," I said, my voice still a little snappy because I was still annoyed with Charlie.

"Bella? What's up?" she asked, sounding surprised. I hadn't spoken to anyone in months, so this probably seemed pretty out of the blue.

"Sorry for the late reply, but I just wanted to let you know I'll be coming to your party tonight," I said, trying to sound enthusiastic.

"That's great! The party starts at 7:00 and goes 'till 11:00, and there'll be food and drink there, so all you have to do is show up! It's at my place by the way," she rambled.

"Okay, thanks Jess, I'll see you there," I said.

"See you later, Bella!" she said excitedly before hanging up. At least one of us was excited.

"There, I'm going, happy now?" I asked, annoyed, to Charlie. He nodded his head, though it didn't really look like he meant it, and I stalked off to my room.

Once I calmed down and got over my annoyance with Charlie, I began to worry. What was I thinking, going to a party? There was obviously going to be people and music, the things I tried to avoid. I had broken all of my CDs after he left; music just brought back painful memories.

It was too late to back out now. I would just have to find a way to deal with it.

At quartered to seven I left for Jess' house. I hadn't put on anything special, just some jeans and a t-shirt. When I arrived I saw that all of the other girls were wearing pretty dresses and tops, with lots of make-up. I didn't really care; I was more worried about not breaking down and looking like a mental patient in front of everyone.

"Bella!" Jess called rather loudly as she opened the door. Everyone turned to stare at me in shock; no one had seen me out of school in ages.

I walked in, trying to avoid all of the curious gazes following me. It was just like my first day at Forks High School, with everyone staring at me. The only ones not to stare at me that day had been them.

I wrapped my arms tightly around my torso and Jess eyed me curiously. I had just realized why she was so enthusiastic for me to be here; she wanted some gossip. Great.

I walked over to the corner furthest from where everyone was standing. Eventually people started talking and dancing again and I relaxed a little.

"Did you want anything? Food? Drink?" Jess offered.

"No thanks," I muttered. Thankfully there was a knock at the door at that moment and she was forced to go answer it.

A song started to play on the CD player in the opposite corner of the room. This wouldn't be good.

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

I could actually relate pretty well with those lyrics. He had promised he'd be around, and I'd believed him. I listened in closer to the rest of the song.


If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened?

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew

My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

After the song finished I spent the rest of the night deep in thought. I had always avoided music, thinking it would hurt to listen to, when really it had helped. It was like the song was written especially for me. I had believed him when he said he loved me, who knew he would only leave in the end? I should have.

For months I had closed myself off, trying to numb the pain, but maybe there was another way. Maybe music would help me let go of some of the pain.

There's the first chapter, what did you think? The song is 'Who Knew' by Pink. I absolutely love Pink, and 'Who Knew' is one of my favourite songs by her. I know it's been used before, but it's just fits perfectly, so I'm using it too :) I'll probably update again tomorrow night and/or Thursday. Thanks for reading :)
