I'm Right Here
Written by: DropDeadRomantic
It's been almost a year since I've seen any of the Cullen's. I know Edward told them not to check up on me, but I also know he can't control Alice's visions. I'm sure Esme has come around, she even put her phone number in my cell phone, under the title "Mom". I haven't used it, I don't want to bother her, but I have it. I've never seen any of them but I felt them, all of them, including the Rosalie and Edward. So much as happened in the last year, so much that I would love to tell them. After they left I used singing to help express my emotions, and while singing under my breath at the mall one weekend a record producer asked me if I'd like to sign with him. I the record deal, and at the moment I'm on my last stop of my tour. I still live with Charlie, even know I haven't really been home this year. He told me before I left that I would always have a home with him.
Five minutes before the concert begins I'm trying to figure out a way to get Alice to have a vision. I concentrate really hard on what I'm about to do and then I grab a piece of paper, and write my phone number on it. As soon as I finish writing my cell phone rings. I almost trip over my own feet trying to get to it.
"Alice?" I whisper into the phone. Not a second later a hearing earsplitting scream and have to pull the phone away from my ear.
"Alice calm down!" I yell at my phone, still away from my ear. Soon, the scream ends and I can hear people in the background asking what's wrong with her.
"OH MY GOD! I MISS YOU SO MUCH BELLA! WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU OKAY? HOW ARE YOU? CAN WE PLEASE COME TO YOUR CONSERT TONIGHT?" She yells into the phone. I laugh as I hear someone say 'Bella?' and 'Concert?'.
"Put me on speaker, Alice." I hear a beep and then a chorus of Hey Bella's.
"Hey guys." I hear something hit the ground and then Emmett's booming laugh.
"Who, out of the seven VAMPIRES in the house, fainted?" I ask them. Emmet is still laughing, Jasper is trying not to, and Alice is yelling at Edward to get up. So it looks like Edward was the one who fainted.
"Alice, put the phone next to his ear." I hear movement then hear Alice whisper 'Ok'.
"Edward?" I whisper into the phone. "Edward you have to wake up. You have to come see me. I miss you."
"Hhhmmm?" I hear his velvet voice. "Bella?"
"Hey sleepy head." I say into the phone, a smile creeping onto my face. "You do know Emmett is going to black mail you with this for a few centuries right?" I hear everyone but Edward laugh. I hear wind, movement of the phone.
"Okay Bella. I know everything I need to know. We'll be there in 15 minutes." Alice says. I can tell she can't wait to see me, and if I'm honest with myself, I can't wait to see her either. I can't see all of them. The
"Okay, Ali. I'll leave everything at the ticket booth, just have Carlisle show them his ID. The best I could get where row 5. Sorry." I said sheepishly. I could hear Esme and Rosalie speaking about what they were going to wear, and Emmett and Jasper talking about the next time they'll hunt.
"Don't worry Bella, that's absolutely fine." Carlisle said "Everyone say by to Bella." I laugh as I hear a chorus of 'By Bella's.
"Okay, I love you guys, bye." I hang up the phone and get ready for my concert.
...
"Hello Washington!" I yell into the microphone. The applause is deafening! I can't imagine what the Cullen's are going through. "Okay, this concert is going to be a little different from all the others, I won't tell you how, but you'll know when you see it." I nod at my band, and they start the song.
"This song I wrote for one of my best friends, and my sister Rosalie Hale." I find her in row 5 and Point to her. She's beaming at me.
She's Not Just A Pretty Face: Shania Twain
(Oh na, na, na)
She hosts a T.V. show -she rides the rodeo
She plays the bass in a band
She's an astronaut -
a valet at the parking lot
A farmer working the land
She is a champion -she gets the gold
She's a ballerina -the star of the show
[Chorus]
She's - not- just a pretty face
She's -got- everything it takes
She has a fashion line-
a journalist for "Time"
Coaches a football team
She's a geologist- a romance novelist
She is a mother of three
She is a soldier -she is a wife
She is a surgeon- she'll save your life
[Second Chorus]
She's- not- just a pretty face
She's- got- everything it takes
She's- mother of the human race
She's- not- just a pretty face
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh na, na, na, na...
She is your waitress- she is your judge-
she is your teacher
She is every woman in the world
Oh, la, la, la
She flies an airplane-
she drives a subway train
At night she pumps gasoline
She's on the council -she's on the board
She's a politician- she praises the lord
[Repeat Second Chorus]
No, she's (she's) not (not)-
just a pretty face
She's (she's) got (got)- everything it takes
She's- not- just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face
The audience is clapping and yelling. I smile at Rosalie. The clapping last a few more minutes. I wait until everything is silent before speaking again. I once again nod to my band and they start while I dedicate the next song.
"Okay this next song is for my other best friend and sister, Alice Cullen. I wrote this on one of the many shopping and clubbing trips you took me on." I look at Alice and she her smiling at me, she already knew I was going to do this. I wink at her, she winks back.
Man I Feel Like A Woman: Shania Twain
I'm going out tonight - I'm feelin' alright
Gonna let it all hang out
Wanna make some noise - really raise my voice
Yeah, I wanna scream and shout
No inhibitions - make no conditions
Get a little out of line
I ain't gonna act politically correct
I only wanna have a good time
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy - forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild - yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, Oh, Oh, get in the action - feel the attraction
Color my hair - do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free - yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
The girls need a break - tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance - we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down
The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and...
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy - forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts - short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild - yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, Oh, Oh, get in the action - feel the attraction
Color my hair - do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free - yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!
I get totally crazy
Can you feel it
Come, come, come on baby
I feel like a woman
Alice is jumping up and down with the song. Rosalie and Esme are squealing to each other. And the boys, Edward, Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper are laughing. I wait until the clapping and screaming quiets down a little before speaking.
"Okay, I'm gonna take a little break while the first of the other bands on tour with me come on. I give you….. THE JONAS BROTHERS!" The applause is a little louder than mine, but what can you do? They've been famous longer than I have. I walk off the stage as the boys go on. I catch Joe's eye, he holds his hand out for me to slap. I do and smile at him.
When I get back stage, I go straight to my dressing room to change my outfit and let the makeup artists redo my makeup.
