When the Heart Races
Season premier
INTRO:
There's a rhythm to every movement;
A rhythm to every beat.
An explosion of bodies, and sounds, of hands reaching for something more.
Something more than just the ghost of the past.
But to hold on to something real.
There's the pressure of bodies slamming, dying and aching to get to the addiction they so rightfully deserve.
To find peace and solitude in this hell on earth.
To breathe again and feel alive.
This loud pounding, ear shattering noise we love so much is calling our names.
Taking our hands and leading us away from the darkness.
Taking us to the one place we can call home.
It's what makes the rhythm in our chest beat wild with a passion.
Fighting and pounding violently against chamber doors, screaming for peace.
It's what makes this rhythm, our heart; race.
Because when the heart races, this is what it's racing toward:
The here.
The now.
The future.
And ultimately the fast pounding noise we call our home.
What we call: music.
EPISODE ONE: Dark Blue
It's amazing how the feel of perspiration and the movement of hands reaching towards the ceiling can bring forth one of the most amazing feelings in the world.
And there's no other place in the world I'd rather be than here.
Wrapped in the arms of this thrumming sound bleeding the speakers and pouring out into our souls with its own tint of light in the very much blackness of our hearts.
There's no other place better in the world than living in this moment right here and right now…
My eyes traveled past the waving hands, past the bobbing heads, and jumping bodies dancing to the amazing noise and to the shade of bronze hair I knew so well.
His long pale fingers were flying across the keyboard and I didn't think I heard a sound more beautiful in my life.
His stunning green eyes were concentrating on his beautiful work.
And I was aching to truly see them outside of this dim light.
I had seen them only a few times vaguely before but even in those moments they were a stunning shade of green.
He was stunning, as well as his music.
I always wished to tell him this but I never even got the courage to even ask what his name was.
There seemed to be so much to him that many maybe didn't know.
Something that I would like to know one day…
The song ended its final cord and the crowd erupted in yells and cheers.
I smiled but remained silent.
And finally his green eyes lifted toward the crowd and he smiled.
A smile that could light the world in its own light.
I wished more than anything that his eyes would see me but as always they didn't.
And as always he and his band members made it off the stage and like all the other nights; that would be the last time I would see him.
"Bella!" I turned to the sound of my name being called to see Alice making her way towards me with Jasper.
When she finally got to my table they both slid in the booth across from me.
"Hola mi Amiga. Why the sad face?" Alice asked.
I laughed. "I don't have a 'sad face' this is how I always look. I'm fine Alice, really."
She gave me a skeptical look but didn't press the matter.
Thank God.
"So where's Rosalie?" I asked causally taking a sip of my soda.
"No idea. Probably with some guy." Alice answered and Jasper's eyes narrowed. He always got protective when it came to his sister and all the guys she dated.
Rosalie was no slut.
She didn't sleep with them all but she did have a lot of boyfriends she went through.
I simply nodded and unconsciously my eyes scanned for that slight trace of bronze hair.
I didn't see him.
Dejected I turned back and was met with Alice's curios gaze.
I shook my head letting her know I didn't want to talk about it.
She nodded but her eyes looked a bit worried.
I looked around the small club; zoning out as usual and just taking everything in.
Each wall was painted a brilliant shade of dark blue and the floor was pitch black.
I remember first coming to this place, see it all, and thinking at that time that I would always love the color dark blue.
And since then it always has been my favorite color.
It's hard to not drown yourself in a place like this; in a place you feel like you belong…
"Hey guys!" Rosalie called out.
And my 'zoning out' moment was shattered.
I turned my head to see the beautiful blond making her way towards us.
She gave Jasper and Alice both a hug before sliding into our both next to me and giving me a hug as well.
"Where have you been Rose?" Jasper asked threw gritted teeth.
"Oh relax Jaz! But Alice, Bella: I met this amazing guy. He's tall, pale and handsome."
We all laughed except for Jasper.
"What's his name?" Alice asked eagerly.
"Edward." Rose answered; a huge smiling stretching across her perfect lips.
"Edward huh? So who exactly is this "Edward"?" Jasper asked suspiciously.
Rose rolled her eyes. "Edward is a musician and he's going to be here any minute so I want you to behave your self!"
Jasper mumbled something under his breath but it was too low for any of us to hear it.
Rose looked over Jasper and then quickly back at us. "Ok he's coming over. Be nice Jaz." Jasper just glared but said nothing.
And what happened next will forever be in my mind.
The tall pale bronze haired god I had watched almost every night was headed straight for us.
My breathing stopped. And his stunning green eyes bored into mine.
A look of surprise and wonder on his face.
And ironically I was sure the same look was on mine.
But then the dream was shattered as he came to stand by Rose and she got out of the booth and pecked him lightly on the lips.
That was enough to rip me apart.
He was the Edward she was talking about.
The same guy I wanted to talk to, to be with since the first night I saw him. And he was hers in a matter of a few short hours at most.
I wanted to scream.
"Alice, Bella. This is Edward. Edward this is Alice and Bella my two best friends." She gestured to us and Alice flashed him a smile and stuck out her hand. He chuckled and shook his hand with hers.
"Nice to meet you, Edward."
"Nice to meet you too, Alice."
She laughed and removed her hand from his.
"And this is my brother, Jasper." Rose stated.
Jasper's hand shake was firm and Edward raised his eyebrows in question. Jasper merely shrugged.
And then Edward's brilliant green eyes turned toward me once again and I stared at him like a deer caught in head lights.
I had never heard his voice, never knew his name.
And in a matter of minutes I find this all out plus the fact that he was with Rosalie.
And now I looked like an idiot with a mental disorder, just blankly staring at him.
"And you must be Bella." His velvet voice purred and he held out his hand for me to shake.
I glanced at it and then back at his face.
A small frown was forming between his eyebrows.
And everyone was staring at me.
I shook my head and took his hand in mine.
And I felt like I was on fire.
He must have felt it too because his green eyes went saucer wide and his eyebrows shot so far up I thought they were going to reach his hairline.
"Edward." He said unsteadily. I quickly dropped my hand from his and looked at the table. Could this get any more awkward?
"Okaaaaaaaaaaaay. That was weird. Well, me and Edward are heading out. Just wanted you guys to meet him and to let you know." Rose informed us.
"Ok, have fun!" Alice said happily.
Jasper just glared and I remained silent but I noticed that Edward kept his eyes on me the whole time.
"Well, we better get going..." She touched Edward's arm and finally he snapped out of what ever he was thinking about and glanced down at her like it was the first time he had ever seen her in his life.
"Are you ready?" Rose asked him.
He just nodded but his eyes shot to mine when he did.
"Okay. I'll see you guys later. Bye." Rose waved and with another surprised awed look from Edward and a few goodbyes; they were both on their way out the door.
And my already shattered world crumbled even more.
"Hey Bella are you okay?" Alice asked me, concern heavy in her voice.
"Yeah I'm fine. Sorry, just thinking."
"Alright. Whatever you're thinking about; you know you can tell me right?"
"Of course, Alice." I said automatically.
She smiled. "Good."
We left the club shortly after Rose and Edward left and for the first time in my life I was actually glad to leave and go home.
I took the public buss that night and looked up at the sky.
It wasn't a dark blue color I longed it to be.
But instead black with the hint of light from the moon and stars.
There were only four people on the bus with me and I had never felt so alone in my life.
Alice had offered to drive me home multiple times and was about to force me to get in the car but I told her how much I just need to be completely alone. Just to think.
And I did need that and for that I was grateful that she let me go home on my own.
I see the world could be burning now there's nothing but dark blue, if you've ever been alone you'll know.
And those words rang in my head all through out that night even to the early hours of the morning till finally sleep over took my body and dreams invaded my mind.
So what do you think? Leave a review telling me your opinion! This is only chapter one and there's still SO much to come so please review and read this story. I think you guys might really like it. (I hope) Thanks for reading and remember: Review, review, review!

Tonight's episode featured music by: Jack's Mannequin
And now here's a preview of next weeks episode:
There was just something about her that made me question everything else.
There was a depth to her that many most likely did not see.
But I did.
Why was last night the first time I had seen her?
Had she never been at the club before?
Or was I really that blind?
I shook my head, clearing my thoughts and took a deep breath.
Now or never right?
I gave out a shaky nervous laugh and knocked on the door.
I could hear a muffled shout and then the thud of foot steps approaching the door.
I took another deep breath as I watched the door knob twist and swing open.
And here we go…….
Yes, that preview was in was Edward's POV.
And it will go like that for every other episode. Episode three will be BPOV & episode 4 will be EPOV & so on & so on.
But who was Edward talking about? Rose or Bella?
And whose door is he knocking on?
