First chapter!

I walked onto the stage with the rest of my band, and waved at the audience, that were screaming their heads off at our arrival. I had gotten used to the feeling of millions of people staring at us, so I didn't really blush anymore.

"Hello Chicago!" I yelled into the microphone. Everyone went totally crazy, screaming and holding up pieces of card with 'we love you's all over them.

"Tonight we are going to start with some of your favourites, and then we are going to do something a little different. I am going to dedicate a portion of the evening to" I gulped "my family, who left me. I am alone. My father died a year ago, in a car crash, around the time that they left. I am alone" I spoke, trying not to cry. So then we began.

I sang, and played my guitar for the first hour and then we hopped off stage for a break, and change.

Two minutes later, on stage was my piano, well not mine but very similar.

I walked on stage alone. Everyone said that I needed to do this by myself, I agreed. My long white dress cascaded down my body as I walked onstage. There was a few wolf whistles. Seriously, I could see Jacob and the pack waving and grinning like idiots, with Angela tucked under Embry's arm. I set them up a couple of months ago.

I sat down on the bench, and spoke clearly into the microphone. "This song is, firstly, dedicated to Jacob, he was there for me when they left, but I'll get to them later. This song is called, near to you"

I played the first couple of notes, and began singing.

He and I,

Were something, beautiful,

But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last.

I loved him so, but I let him go,

Cause I knew he'd never love me back…

Such pain as this, shouldn't have to be experienced…

I'm still reeling from the loss, still a little bit delirious

Yeah

Near to you, I am healing, but it's taking so long,

And though he's gone, and you are wonderful,

It's hard to move on…

Yet, it's better near to you.

Well, you and I have something,

Different, but I'm enjoying it, cautiously.

I'm battle scarred, and I'm working, oh, so, hard,

To get back to who, I used to be…

He's disappearing, fading, steadily.

I'm so close to being yours, won't you stay with me…

Please?

Near to you, I am healing, but it's taking so long,

And though he's gone, and you are wonderful,

It's hard to move on…

Near to you, I am healing, but it's taking so long,

And though he's gone, and you are wonderful,

It's hard to move on…

Yet, it's better near to you…

Yet, it's better near to you.

I only know that I am, better where you are…

I only know that I am, better where you are…

I only know that I belong, where you are…

Near to you, I am healing, but it's taking so long,

And though he's gone, and you are wonderful,

It's hard to move on…

Yet, it's better near to you…

Yet, it's better near to you…

I ended, and most of the crowd had candles, or lighters and they were waving them in the air. I was already crying. Thankyou waterproof mascara! I scanned over the crowd quickly, and the face that I stopped on was a face I hadn't seen in eighteen months. Edward. I was almost going to run off the stage, or scream. My nightmares were coming back to me. All the pain I hid inside... for the moment.

"This one is called, goodbye" I said, and stood up to the other mic set up in the middle of the stage. And someone handed my guitar.

I can honestly say,

You've been on my mind,

Since I woke up today

I look at your photograph, all of the time

These memories come back to life…

And though I cried!

I remember when we kissed

I still feel it on my lips…

The time that you danced with me,

With no music playing!

I remember the simple things.

I remember till I cried.

But the one thing I wish I'd forget,

The memory I wanna forget…

Is goodbye…

I woke this morning and heard my song,

And through my tears, I sang along.

I picked up my phone and then, put it down

Cause I know I'm wasting my time…

I still cried!

I remember when we kissed

I still feel it on my lips…

The time that you danced with me,

With no music playing!

I remember the simple things.

I remember till I cried.

But the one thing I wish I'd forget,

The memory I wanna forget…

I wished my cell phone's blowing up with your ring tone

I would of hesitated but answered it anyway,

You sounded so alone…

And I wished I'd hear you say…!

You remember when we kissed.

You still feel it on your lips!

The time that you danced with me,

With no music playing!

You remember the simple things.

We talked till I cried.

But the one thing that I regret,

The memory I wish you'd forget…

Is saying goodbye…

Saying goodbye…

Goodbye…

The crowd erupted and I looked back at Edwards face, and I almost burst into tears of anger…and sadness. My tears fell hurriedly down my face, and I began my new song.

"You are the only exception," I said staring at Edwards pained face.

When I was younger, I saw,

My daddy cry, and curse at the wind.

He broke his own heart.

And I watched,

As he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore,

That she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised

That I would never sing of love, if it did not exhist…

But darling,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception…

Maybe I know, somewhere,

Deep in my soul, that love never lasts.

And we've got to find, other ways to make it alone,

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this,

Keeping a comfortable distance,

Up until now…

I had sworn to myself that,

I'm content, with loneliness,

Because none of it was ever worth the risk…

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception…

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.

I know your leaving in the morning when I wake up.

But leave some kind of proof it's not a dream…

Ooh…

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception…

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception,

You are the only exception…

And I'm on my way to believing…

Oh, and, I'm, on, my way to believing…

And that's when I ran off of the stage, though I still had one more song, but not before, a pair of cold hard arms caught me.

"hey bella" Emmett said as he swung me in his arms. That was when I screamed. I screamed, and didn't stop. Then security came and asked Emmett to put me down, which he did, and when Kale had come over picked me up and ran to the change room, i ssaw a quick glimpse of his face. Hurt, thats all i saw there.

EPOV

I stood there, completely frozen in shock.

My families thoughts were the same.

OMG it's Bella!but I saw the car...

Bella? BELLA!

But I thought that she died.

My sisters alive!

But what about the car crash? Alice saw...

All of a sudden i couldn't see Emmett anymore. He must have gone to see her. All i wanted to do was go wrap my arms around her. Kiss her. And tell her that everything was going to be okay. But I couldn't. I stood here. the songs still perfect in my mind.

That I would never sing of love, if it did not exhist…

Cause I know I'm wasting my time…

Cause I knew he'd never love me back…

Those sentences all replayed in my head over and over. They were all wrong. I had been thinking so hard that I didn't realise that Emmett had come back.

"She...she screamed at me. Screamed. My own sister. Bella. Screamed at me" He mumbled over and over again. Everyone including me, suddenly hated me. We were all frozen, until Emmett turned to glare at me, through the confused crowd.

"You..." Then he lunged knocking us both to the ground.
