One moment

"SWAN! SWAN! SWAN! SWAN!"

This will be my unveiling as a vampire to the world. Am I ready? I think I am.

"And what you all have been waiting for: THE SWAN EFFECT!" The crowd goes wild. I arrive at center stage waving my guitar and smiling. I get to the mic and the crowd calms down a bit to let me talk.

"Hey, I'm Bella Swan." *applause* I chuckle. "Well I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight. I didn't think me and my band would have made it this far in such a short time. Well I don't want to keep you guys waiting soooo without further ado." I turns around. "Guys come on out." Out walks 4 more astonishingly beautiful people, but what everyone else doesn't know is that this is the Swan Coven. Made up of me (Bella), Justin, Ty, Kat, and Shayla

Ty comes up to the mic. "Well you guys are in for a treat tonight. We have a few new songs that we would like to perform, then we have a list of songs that we may get to tonight" He looks at me and I shake my head. "Okay so maybe just one song, since this isn't an actual concert, just a launch party. We were told 20 minutes tops. Well I'm not going to keep you waiting."

Ty headed to his spot as our bassist, Kat went to the first drum set, Justin to the second drum set, and Shayla took her spot next to Ty as our other guitarist. The lights dimmed and got me thinking. Its been 5 years since Edward left me and for the first 6 months I was devastated, but then I just fell out of love with him. I don't know exactly what happened but I was grateful for it.

Shit I need to start soon before they get upset.

"Alright we all have our ups and downs, and sometimes that really sucks. I wrote this when I was left by the then love of my life 5 years ago. I'm happy he left me, because now I'm a better person and know that what we had was never meant to be. So listen up if you've ever been in this situation before. This is called Tennessee Line."

I open my lungs

to breathe in forgiveness and love
Haunting me now reminders of how

I used to be
And on down the road

my troubles are sure to follow
Looking out the window,

the hell if know where I will go
So I'll just keep on driving

On my way to L.A

looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past,

first to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right

every wrong turn that I've learned?
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind,

well it's my heart I'll follow this time

Who would've known

that pride is so hard to swallow
As I rest on the shoulder of a road growing colder
With the trouble I own,

should I just keep on driving?

On my way to L.A.

looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past,

first to last bad call that I ever made
Tell me how to make right

every wrong turn that I've learned?
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind,

well it's my heart I'll follow this time

I know I must be doing something right
Head the other way, back to where I started out
Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight
And stop living with doubt

On my way to L.A.

looking into the rear view as the roads fade away
I've sworn off my past,

first to last bad call that I ever made

Tell me how to make right

every wrong turn that I've learned?
So this can all end tonight
Tennessee line just changed my mind,

well it's my heart I'll follow this time

I've sworn off my past,

first to last bad call that I ever made

(well it's my heart I'll follow this time)

I've sworn off my past,

first to last bad call that I ever made

I'm gonna turn it all around tonight at the Tennessee line

I let the applause die down a little before proceeding. "I'm not sure what the requirements are for introducing songs are but I think I like telling the story behind them." The crowd got even quieter almost as if saying that they like my stories. "Well this next song means a lot to me. It's called Life after You. Well after Edward left me, like I said I was a mess." Ty snickered behind me.

"I don't think a mess covers it sis" Ty says low enough for only vamps to hear.

But as usual I ignore him. "After he left, I thought I was never going to find love. About 8 months, I met my soul mate. What makes it even worse is that I knew him the whole time I was with Edward and was so focused on our relationship I didn't even notice the feelings I felt for him. Carlisle was the one who brought me out of my funk. I realized after that, I didn't want to feel that way ever again. We got together, and it was pretty serious. Around my 21st birthday I got scared he was going to leave me, and I left before he could ever get the chance. And now I deeply regret it. I still deeply love this man with all my heart…so this is for Carlisle."

"Ten miles from town and I just broke down
Spittin' out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone just tryin' to get home
To tell you I was wrong but you already know
Believe me I won't stop at nothin'
To see you so I've started runnin'

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

Last time we talked, the night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must've been high to say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wasting my time
Oh, why did I ever doubt you?
You know I would die here without you

You and I, right or wrong, there's no other one
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a woman with sight could be so blind
Thinkin' 'bout the better times, must've been outta my mind
So I'm runnin' back to tell you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do

The Crowd erupts in cheers. And with my heightened senses I could see a few people in the audience crying. I get it the message is beautiful. But that's just how I feel about Carlisle. I don't want to love anyone unless it's him. I didn't feel that with anyone, not even Edward.

Shayla comes up to the mic this time. "I wrote this song after I found out what my sister had been through. She's a really tough cookie but an amazing person. So this one is for you Bella"

I was stunned. I never knew that they were upset about what happened to me. But then my mood changed, like a calming feeling. I panicked. They can't be here. Not tonight. This is soooo embarrassing. I broadcasted my thoughts to my family. It seems as though Edward is not the only one who could control the mind. Just one more thing I got from him I guess. Ty growled, Shayla started playing and gave everyone else a look that said we'll talk later.

Shayla introduces the song. "This is called Different Day. I hope you guys enjoy this, especially you Bella"

"Can I trust you'll go away
If I'm to say, I'm okay
Just let me bleed on my own
And I will find my way home

Cause the sad sad side of it all
Is you don't remember
Being a breath away from death
The sad sad side of it all

And maybe, on a different day
I'd let the rain, wash this away
But it's just too late
The sad sad side of it all
Is you don't remember

This key cannot be re-cut
Cause my hearts been sealed shut
And if our paths cross again
I'll turn and walk away

Cause the sad sad side of it all
Is you dont remember
Being a breath away from death
The sad sad side of it all

And maybe, on a different day
I'd share the blame I'd share the pain
But it's just too late
And maybe, on a different day
I'd let the rain wash this away
But it's just too late
The sad sad side of it all
Is you don't remember
Being a breath away from death
The sad sad side of it all

Is you're looking around lost
Just trying to find your way
Looking around lost
Just trying to find your way home

Can I trust you'll go away
If I'm to say I'm okay?
Just let me bleed on my own
And I will find my way home

I looked at Shayla and the rest of my Coven and ran to give them huge hugs. We talked low enough for only us to hear.

"Guys I think they are here" I told them a little worried.

"Don't worry Bella, everything is going to be fine. I've already seen it." Shayla said. I chuckled I had my own little Alice, minus the whole extravagant shopper syndrome and the fact that they look nothing alike.

"You want me to kick their ass?" Ty said.

"Yeah which one is Dick-ward?" Justin said.

Shayla and Kat went to their mates, just another reason why I miss Carlisle. We would have been happy here. I sigh and Kat tells me to calm down in my head. I look at her and she speaks.

"We still have to face them Bella. They deserve to know how we all got together, its only fair, do it for him." And that was my breaking point. I think Kat was the only one who really understood what Carlisle means to me. I turn around and face the people attending the party who returned to doing whatever it was before we started playing. And I saw Jasper.

"Jasper, meet us in our dressing room. Bring whoever is with you. We have a lot to talk about it seems." Jasper looked stunned.

"B-B-Bella? How is this possible?" I gave him a look "Ok we'll meet you in like 5 minutes."

And here comes the trouble. The coven went back to the dressing room and just sat around. We really weren't required to go to the party after playing to we planned on staying in here the whole night.

Shayla looks up at the door. "He's outside Bella. He wants to talk to you alone." I look at her. "And you are going to say yes, so just prepare."

Then the fated knock…

(AN: I was going to stop here but I thought wth it's my first chapter might as well keep going.)

We wait just looking around at each other. Kat breaks the silence and says come in. The door opens and in steps my very own angel, the man that I have been missing for 2 years.

"Carlisle"

AN: DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN! Well I was going to write more to the story but i decided that i needed more input before i keep going. So like? dislike? Need to stop? or should i keep going...i think its going to turn out pretty well. Just press the little review button and let me know what you think. =D
