Chapter 2: Boys
EPOV:
Being successful was our thing. I'm Edward Cullen famous singer with my friends Emmett McCarlthy and Jasper Whitlock. We have been on the music scene for a while now and sure it wasn't easy but who said it was going to be? We are currently working on our next album to put out in New York City. My girlfriend Tanya is a model who travels all over the world for different magazines, if you ask me it's not much of a relationship. The boys have been on the single side for a while now and aren't looking for anything at this point.
"Hey Edward, want to go check out some open mike night tonight?" I looked up at Emmett "Why would we want to do that?" I looked up from the magazine I was reading to see Jasper walking into the room. "Maybe we can see some of the talent that is in New York. We could get some ideas for the new album." Jasper had a good point I would mind seeing some of New York's talent. "What time will we be going and where is it we're going?" I asked Emmett. "It's a small bar just around the corner so we will leave around 11:00pm." "Alright be ready by quarter to." They nodded and went to do their own things.
Later on I was picking my outfit I thought a black silk dress shirt with black dress pants would do. I grabbed my phone and went down stairs to see if the guys were ready to go. As I reached the stairs Emmett was waiting at the door. "Where's Jasper?" "I'm right here don't worry about me." "I wasn't worrying I want to be on time." He rolled his eyes at me and opened the door. We walked down to the bar, getting in wasn't a problem for us.
I looked around and spotted the bar where a little pixie like girl was cleaning some glasses. I looked to Emmett and Jasper, "I'm going up for a drink want to join?" They nodded their heads and followed. When I got up to the bar I noticed the girl was wearing 6-inch stilettos, I had not seen many women do it especially someone so small.
"Hey you got a problem?" I looked up and was meet by ice blue eyes staring me down. "Pardon?" I asked. "Your staring at my legs and I don't take kindly to that." I laughed and shook my head. "I was simply admiring your shoes. Not many women can walk in 6 inch stilettos." She smiled, "Thanks, what can I get you gentleman to drink tonight?" "3 rum and coke would be great." As she went on about making the drinks I looked around the bar and took in the setting. It was small, very dark it suited the type of neighbourhood. She placed the drinks on the bar. "It's on the house, sorry I gave you trouble earlier." I smiled at her, "You had every right to give me trouble. What's your name?" "I'm Alice Brendon, pleasure to meet you and you are?"
As I shook her hand I introduced myself, "I'm Edward Cullen, these are my friends Emmett McCarlthy and Jasper Whitlock." Her eyes went wide, "The Edward Cullen that sings in the band Darkness?" I laughed "Yes I am." "Well I am happy to have met you and I hope you enjoy the open mike night." Just as she cut the conversation, she came out from the bar and ran over to the door where a blonde and brunette were hanging up their jackets.
Alice POV:
I ran over to Rose and Bella as they walked in. Bellas was wearing a midnight blue shimmering dress that went about mid- thigh with strappy heels and Rose wore a similar design of dress that was red and shimmered with her 4 inch red heels. I felt a pair eyes watching my movements, I turned to look and seen Jasper watching me. He seemed to realize I had caught him looking when he turned his gaze away.
"Bella Rose you guys look amazing". Rose started to laugh while Bella glared. "It took me 3 hours to get her into that dress Alice". I rolled my eyes and burst out laughing remembering Bella was not into fashion like Rose and I were. I lead them over to the bar and out of the corner of my eye, I seen Edward and his friends go sit down at one of the tables near the stage.
"So you guys see those guys at that table in front of the stage?" Bella and Rose looked over their shoulders. 'The Bronze, Blonde, and Brunette Bella asked'. I nodded "Those are the band members of the band Darkness." Rose's eyes widened. 'Seriously, and we are performing tonight?' 'Yuppers so who needs a quick drink?' 'Me!' Rose and Bella said in unison. I walked back behind the bar and them a rum and coke.
'Cheers ladies this might be what we need for a record deal!' We smiled at one another and drank are drinks.
EPOV:
I watched the Brunette who was having a drink with Alice. She was stunning with her hair cascading in curls down her back. The dress showed the curves of her perfect body. I took another sip of my drink and looked at my watch; it was time for the mike night to start. The first two singers were not too bad, nothing I would use in my music. When Alice and the other two women got on stage, I was shocked. I turned to Jasper and Emmett, 'This should be interesting'. They nodded. The brown-haired woman took to the microphone, 'Hi everyone I'm Bella Swan, to my left you have Rosalie Hale and to my right Alice Brendan your favourite bar tender'. The crowd erupted with cheers. 'So this song I'm singing is about an old boyfriend who didn't understand me. I hope you enjoy it, its call Mr. Know It All'.
"Mr. Know It All" By: Kelly Clarkson
Mr. Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Ain't it, ain't it something y'all
When somebody tells you something 'bout you
Think that they know you more than you do
So you take it down another pill to swallow
Mr. Bring Me Down
Well ya, ya like to bring me down, don't you?
But I ain't laying down, baby, I ain't goin' down
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be
Nobody's gonna make a fool out of me
Baby, you should know that I lead not follow
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr. Play Your Games
Only got yourself to blame when you want me back again
But I ain't falling back again
'Cause I'm living my truth without your lies
Let's be clear baby this is goodbye
I ain't coming back tomorrow
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
So what you've got the world at your feet
And you know everything about everything
But you don't
You still think I'm coming back but baby you'll see yeah...
Oh you think that you know me, know me
That's why I'm leaving you lonely, lonely
'Cause baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
You ain't got the right to tell me
When and where to go, no right to tell me
Acting like you own me lately
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me
Mr. Know It All
Well ya think you know it all
But ya don't know a thing at all
Yeah baby you don't know a thing about me
You don't know a thing about me.
I stood up and cheered for all three of the girls. They had talent and I would be making some calls to my manger tomorrow morning, he had to see what these girls had.
