"I'm almost done," I muttered, knowing he'd be able to hear me downstairs. I heard a faint chuckle in reply, as I hoisted my bag up onto my shoulders.

As far as Charlie was concerned, as was going to spend the weekend with my soon to be sister-in-law, Alice, but in reality I was going to spend time with Edward and the whole family.

The door to my bedroom opened and Edward was suddenly lying casually across my bed. I smiled slightly and shoved the last of my clothes into the overnight bag.

"What's this?" My heart stopped as I saw a familiar little red book in Edward's hands. I dropped the bag and tried to grab the book, unsuccessfully.

"It's nothing important." I said, unconvincingly.

He ignored me as he saw the words embroidered into the red, leather cover. I knew what they said, they read 'Songbook' in a flowing gold script.

"You write songs?" His perfect voice was shocked.

"Yes." I finally admitted, completely embarrassed.

He smiled wickedly, "You're definitely bringing this with you." He murmured, slipping it into my back and carrying the bag out the door, leaving me no choice but to follow.

I knew he would want to read the songs and I was dreading it.

...

We arrived at the Cullens' house rather rapidly,thanks to Edward's crazy driving. Alice collided with me once we walked through the door.

"Bella!" she squealed, "Come on! We're going to listen to you sing."

"What?" I gasped as she dragged me into the sitting room, "Alice I can't sing."

"Don't lie to me, Missy. I know you can sing!"

I flushed bright red, looking for an excuse. "I- I erm...I don't have a guitar! Can't sing without one." I said feigning disappointment.

She laughed a bell-like laugh and handed me one.

"What-how?" I stammered.

"It's Jaspers." She explained.

"You don't mind?" I asked, almost afraid to hold it.

"Of course not, it was my idea." He chuckled at my feelings of betrayal.

"You all really want to hear me sing?" I asked in shock.

Seven eager faces stared at me, I sighed and saw Edward smile.

"Fine," I said in defeat, "Edward can pick the first song."

He flicked through the titles before stating "Red."

I winced. "Are you sure?"

"Why?" Esme asked.

"I wrote it while you had all left." I whispered.

"I'd like to hear you're thoughts." He shrugged.

"Ok." I said, shakily. Jasper gave me some confidence and I smiled slightly before starting to strum.

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

"She knows a car other than Eddie's!" Emmett laughed

Faster than the wind
Passionate as sin, ended so suddenly

Edward frowned slightly.

Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn
So bright just before they lose it all

Esme understood what she meant, she had loved Carlisle since that day she'd broken her leg.

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Jasper seemed fascinated by the colours she put with the emotions she felt.

Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red

"The title." Rosalie sighed softly.

Touching him is like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out love could be that strong

"You regretted me?" Edward said sadly.

"I regretted that you weren't with me, that you left."

Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Oh red burning red

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head

The Cullens seemed entranced by the song.

Burning red!
Darling it was red!

Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
Cause loving him was red yeah yeah red
We're burning red

And that's why he's spinning round in my head
Comes back to me burning red
Yeah yeah

Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

"Bella, that was brilliant!" Alice sighed.

"Thanks." I said shyly.

"MY TURN TO CHOOSE!" Emmett yelled


I do not own twilight or the song Red by Taylor Swift

What song will Emmett choose?...

R&R
