Chapter One

BPOV

"Bella!" I heard a voice shout from across the crowded bar. I turned, beer still pressed to my lips, to see a blonde head weaving towards me though the throngs of people. I waited patiently for Rosalie to reach me, still sipping my beverage.

"You got here just in time. Their about to start." I nodded to the stage where the rookie band was opening for the real show. We were here to watch our friends perform tonight. Jasper, Rose's twin brother started the band when we were in elementary. Jasper being lead vocals, Edward being the bassist, Emmett on drums, and my least favorite, Mike Newton as lead guitar. I don't see why they even included him, he seriously hindered the overall talent.

"Did Jazz or Eddy tell you about the new guitarist?" Rose asked when the opening act finished packing up their stuff. I nearly choked on my beer. Newton was gone? YES! Don't get me wrong, he was a decent guy, just not when he was hitting on you 24/7.

"Who is it?" I asked excitedly. "Anyone we know?" She shrugged.

"One of Edwards cousins. Apparently one we've never met. Suppose to be really good though." I nodded. "And.." She stopped. "You know what, I'm gonna let you find out for yourself." Rose smirked at me.

"Rosie!" I whined. "Tell me! Please?" She shook her head, pointing to where her fiance, Emmett had just taken his place at the drum set, Jasper and Edward not far behind. I noticed the guitarist was really short, but that's about it, seeing as they stayed in the shadows.

Jasper's voice belted out and before long the first song was over. Jasper stepped back after saying that the next song would be sung by their newest member. Shadow-Person, as I had dubbed them, finally stepped out. Shadow-Person was actually a Shadow-Girl. I felt my mouth drop and my breath catch.

"This," He put his arm around her shoulder, bringing her forward. "Is Edward's cousin, Alice. Make her feel welcome guys!" Jazz said before retreating to stand beside Edward. Alice took a deep breath before a slightly creepy melody came on, followed by her guitar then voice.

Every street in this city
Is the same to me
Everyone's got a place to be
But there's no room for me
Am I to blame?
When the guilt and the shame
Hang over me
Like a dark cloud that
Chases you down
In the pouring rain

It's so hard
To find someone
Who cares about you
But it's easy enough to find
Someone who looks down on you
Why is it so hard
To find someone
Who cares about you
But it's easy enough to find
Someone who looks down on you?

It's not what it seems
When you're not on the scene
There's a chill in the air
But there's people like me
That nobody sees
So nobody cares

Why is it so hard
To find someone
Who cares about you
When it's easy enough to find
Someone who looks down on you?
Why is it so hard to find
Someone who can keep it
Together when you've come undone?
Why is it so hard
To find someone
Who cares about you?

I swear this time
It won't turn out the same
Cause now I've
Got myself to blame
And you'll know when we
End up on the streets
That it's easy enough to find
Someone who looks down on you

Why is it so hard
To find someone
Who cares about you
When it's easy enough to find
Someone who looks down on you?
Why is it so hard to find
Someone who can keep it
Together when you've come undone
Why is it so hard
To find someone
Who cares about you?

I brought my fingers to my mouth and whistled as loud as I could, which was louder than the majority of males whistling at Alice. She had the most amazing voice I'd ever heard. She could – no she should be a millionaire.

Okay, maybe I'd reacted a little too enthusiastically. I say that because I was the first one to react at all, so she automatically glanced my way. I gulped as her eyes raked my frame.

"Sexy, isn't she?" I jumped, chest heaving. Rose just smirked at me. So this was what she wouldn't tell me!

"Rose I can't believe you didn't tell me about her! She's – she's just.. so – wow.." I felt my cheeks heat up. I took a deep breath, trying to get the blush to recede before looking back to the goddess on stage. She was facing away now, teeth clenched, looking slightly crestfallen. All I wanted to do was hop up on the stage and comfort her, but I didn't think that would be appropriate for someone I hadn't even met yet.

"Come on." I grabbed Rose and pulled her with me. "We're going backstage."

APOV

I was a bit nervous to be playing in front of such a large crowd, I usually kept my music to myself, especially the personal things that I wrote myself. But Edward and Jasper convinced me to play a song I'd written.

The one that we picked for tonight, I wrote it after a particularly bad break-up, when I didn't want to date another girl again. It only ended in hurt. I still feel the same way.

Jasper sung one song before passing the mic off to me. I took a deep breath before beginning. My song was kind of long, nearly five minutes. As soon as the sound faded completely there was an uproar, but I noticed one in particular.

There was a brunette way at the back, leaning against the bar that was now slowly bringing her fingers back down from her lips. She was clapping now and I couldn't help but let my eyes move down her body. Oh. My. God. I needed to meet her, badly.

But of course she was already taken.

A blonde with the body of a model leaned forward to whisper something in her that made the beautiful brunette blush and her chest heave. I looked away when the brunette dragged the blonde off, my jaw set painfully.

Why am I having such a strong reaction to someone I haven't even met? I've never felt so jealous in my entire life! My blood was boiling so that I could barely finish our line up. Jasper ended our show a few songs later, saying goodnight and that we'd be back next week. I hope the brunettes back next week too, just without the other chick... No! I shook my head. No more relationships. Not for a long, long time.

I shook my head quickly, taking off backstage.

I stood in front of the mirror that had been set up for me, since I was the only one who actually had to worry about my make up and appearance. Sighing I began removing the heavy eye make up and concealer. Finally seeing my real face I walked back to where the rest of the band would be waiting. I heard laughs coming from the room.

Opening the door slowly, I came face to face with the brunette beauty from earlier. I also noticed that the blonde was strung across the drummers lap, making out like they hadn't seen each other in years. Yes their not together! No, no relationship.

"Okay Bells, Rose," The two girls in question turned to face my cousin. "This is Alice" He said nodding to me. "Alice this is Bella, and that's Rose." He nodded to the blonde last so I took it that the girl in front of me was Bella. Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella! I repeated her name in my head like a mantra, grinning stupidly.

"H-hey." Bella looked at me, blushing again.

"Well Ali-Cat, Bells is the resident dyke of our group and Bella, Alice is the new dyke of the band." Jasper grinned widely, slinging an arm around both of our shoulders. I rolled my eyes as Bella snorted. There's no way she's lesbian.. I thought.

"Jazz, last time you tried to play match-maker, the girl nearly raped me on the first date." Bella glared at him accusingly. Jasper raised his hands defensively, taking a step back.

"Hey! It's not my fault, I didn't know she was a sex addict!"

"How do you set your friend up with someone before knowing everything about them?" Jasper sighed.

"Okay, okay. I knew she was hot for Bella, but that's it I swear. If I knew she wanted sex that bad I wouldn't have set them up. But you gotta admit you needed it Bella." She shook her head and leaned forward to look at me around Jasper. I suddenly felt very self conscious.

"I'm sorry about him. He took it on himself to be my personal cupid since high school." I smirked, laughing outright when she blushed. Everything this girl did was cute, especially the way the blush crawled up her chest and across her... Dammit Alice, stop thinking!

How the fuck was she doing this to me?

Well, first chapter. Review if you think I should continue or have ideas.
