Let me know what you think guys!

Chapter One: I'm Still Breathing

'Deep breaths,' I thought as I walked out onto the stage and took in the crowd in front of me. I turned to Jacob and he nodded at me.

"Wow, look at the crowd we have here tonight Jake," I said as he laughed.

"They're here for a good show tonight, babe. What do you say we give it to them?"

"Of course." I laughed and he started playing the guitar. "Our first number of the evening is called 'I'm Still Breathing'. Enjoy kiddies," I said before I started singing.

I leave the gas on

Walk the alleys in the dark

Sleep with candles burning

I leave the door unlocked

I'm weaving a rope and

Running all the red lights

Did I get your attention?

'Cause I'm sending

All the signs and

The clock is ticking

And I'll be giving

My 2 weeks

Pick your favorite

Shade of black

You'd best

Prepare a speech

Say something funny

Say something sweet

But don't say

That you loved me

Cause I'm still breathing

But we've been

Dead for awhile

This sickness has no cure

We're going down for sure

Already lost a grip

Best abandon ship

Maybe I was too pale

Maybe I was too fat

Maybe you had better

Better luck in the sack

No formal education

And I swore way too much

But I swear

You didn't fucking care

Cause we were in love

So as I write this letter and shed my last tear

Know it's all for the better that we end this here

Let's close this chapter, say one last prayer

But don't say that you loved me

I'm still breathing

But we've been dead for a while

This sickness has no cure; we're going down for sure

Oh we've been diagnosed, so let's give up the ghost

'Cause I'm still breathing

But we've been dead for a while

This sickness has no cure; we're going down for sure

Already lost our grip, best abandon ship, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing

EPOV:

I walked into the club and looked around at all the people dancing to the filler music that was playing till the act started.

"Thanks for coming with me, baby," Alison said as she squeezed my hand.

I looked down at my girlfriend of six months and smiled. She was something else, really. I kissed her lightly and she smiled.

"You're welcome, baby," I said as she dragged me to the table that was occupied by my sister and best friend.

"Hey, guys," Alice said as we took our seats.

"Hey, Alice. Hey, Jasper." I said as he nodded to me.

"So, Alison says this group is really good. Have you seen them live yet?" Alice asked me as I shook my head.

"It's his first time too," Alison said with a laugh as Alice smiled at her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, The Ex-Files!" the DJ announced as the group took the stage.

I looked up at the band as the singer and her guitarist traded some banter before they started singing. Something about this woman took my breath away and brought up memories from my past. She looked so familiar…almost like-

"Bella," Alice whispered as I turned to her.

"What?"

"Edward…that's Bella," she said without looking at me.

I turned back to the singer and then I saw it. I was too stupid to realize it before but there she was…my Bella.

"Is that your ex-wife?" Alison asked as I nodded.

"Yeah, it is."

I listened to the lyrics and couldn't help but feel like she was singing to only me. The song ended and she immediately threw herself into the next number. It started slow and as she sang memories came back to me.

You make me feel like I'm losing my virginity
the first time every time when you touch me
I make you bloom like a flower that you've never seen
under the sun we are one buzzing energy

-Flashback-

"Marry me, Bella," I whispered as I held her naked body up against mine in our tiny bed.

She answered me by crawling on top of me and pushing her wet lips against my aching dick.

"Of course," she whispered before she pushed herself down on me and moaned loudly.

We moved as one and slowly came undone against each other. In that instant I knew. This was the woman I was going to spend the rest of my life loving and the rest of my life wanting.

-End Flashback-

Let's pollinate to create a family tree
this evolution with you comes naturally
some call it science we call it chemistry
this is the story of the birds and the bees

Even the seasons change
our love still stays the same

You give me the hummingbird heartbeat
Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat, hummingbird heartbeat
Oh oh
Hummingbird heartbeat
Oh oh
Hummingbird heartbeat

I've flown a million miles just to find a magic seed
A white flower with the power to bring life to me
You're so exotic my whole body fluttering
Constantly craving for a taste of your sticky sweet

I was on the brink of a heart attack
You gave me life and keep me coming back
I see the sun rise in your eyes, your eyes
We've got a future full of blue skies, blue skies

Even the seasons change
Our love still stays the same

You love me, you love me
Never love me not, not, oh no
When we hear a perfect harmony
You make me sound like, like a symphony

Spread my wings and make me fly
The taste of your honey is so sweet
When you give me the hummingbird heartbeat, hummingbird heartbeat

BPOV:

The show went wonderfully and before I knew it, time was up. I thanked the crowd and quickly walked behind the stage and out into the crowd. I loved to dance after playing to a crowd like this because I was usually so wound up from the music. So instead of just walking hanging out with Jacob I decided to dance to the music that the DJ was playing. I was really getting into to the point where everyone sort of disappeared and it was only me and the music. That's probably why I never once noticed her until she was standing in front of me.

"Bella." I looked up and saw Alice standing two feet from me.

"Alice," I said before I charged at her and pulled her into my arms.

"I missed you so much!" she said as we pulled apart and a tear came to her eyes.

"I missed you too,Alice. How are you?"

"I'm great…will you come sit with us?"

"Wait, us?" I asked as she pointed to the table. I saw him instantly and noticed that he wasn't alone.

"Alice."

"Come on Bella, please. Jasper misses you so much and I want to catch up for a little while." I couldn't deny my best friend anything so I nodded and followed her to the little table.

"Bella!" Jasper said as he quickly got up and pulled me into a hug.

"Jazz," I whispered as he held me close.

He pulled back and looked into my eyes. "How are you?"

"I'm good," I said as he nodded.

"I missed you a lot sis," he said as I laughed.

"You still think of me as that?"

"Forever." He let me go and moved back to Alice.

I finally looked over at Edward and smiled.

"Edward," I said as he smiled.

"Bella," he said before I turned to his girlfriend and held out my hand.

"Hi, I'm Bella."

"Alison…you guys were really good."

"Thanks, have you been to one of our shows before? You look really familiar."

"Yeah, I saw you guys live a few months ago in Los Angeles."

"Oh yeah, well I'm glad you came out tonight. You'd be surprised how little a following we have."

"Actually, you guys are pretty popular around here."

"That's most likely because I'm from here."

"I didn't know you were in a band," Edward said as I looked up at him.

"I couldn't keep singing alone in the shower forever, Edward."

"You're really good," he said as I smiled.

"Thanks." I turned away from him and started catching up with Alice for a while.

EPOV:

Bella turned away from me and Alison took my hand in hers.

"Your ex seems really nice."

"Yeah…she seems really different," I said as I watched her talk to Alice.

"Edward, can I ask you something?" Alison asked as I looked down at her.

"What, baby?"

"Why did you two…you know, divorce?"

I took a deep breath and looked over at Bella. "It's a long story."

"Do you want to get out of here?" Alison asked as I nodded.

Alison turned to Alice and excused herself.

"We're going to go you guys, Bella, it was wonderful meeting you."

"You too, Alison. Edward, it was nice seeing you again," Bella said before we got up and walked out of the club.

We drove the ten minutes to my house and Alison held my hand the entire way. We'd been together for the past six months, but I never gotten around to telling her why my marriage fell apart four years ago. Tonight, I was going to change all of that.

We walked into the living room and she pulled me onto the couch with her.

"Do you still want to tell me?" she asked as I brushed her auburn hair back behind her ear.

"I was fourteen when I met Bella…." I started as she scooted closer to me.
