Forks Talent Community Talent Show:
Beautiful Disaster
BPOV
The talent show was a success, and surprisingly everyone loved the sound of my voice. Including Edward, who has taken it upon himself to help me strengthen my voice more. Sometimes I feel like Christine Daae from the Phantom of the Opera, and Edward is the Phantom. Only thing is, I chose him.
"Bella!" came from my best friend and pixie, Alice. I was sitting at Edward's piano, reading over a song in my mind when she runs into the room. I raise an eyebrow at her, placing the paper down.
"What is it?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
"There is going to be a Forks talent show, everyone who wants to can signed up!" Alice says clapping her hands happily.
"Alice…" I start, but was cut off when she pouts and I curse her ability to do that.
"Please?" Alice begged, making her bottom lip stick out. I groan softly, lightly banging my head against the closed piano.
"When I open my eyes, she won't be here anymore." I mumble, lifting my head up and opening my eyes, seeing Alice grinning at me. I sigh and look at her again. "Oh alright." I say.
"Yay!" Alice says happily. "And I know the most perfect song for you to sing." she says, then dances out of the room. I rub my sore forehead, that I didn't notice Edward walking in and moving my hand away, to press his colder one to my forehead.
"Do I even want to know why Alice is so happy?" Edward asked in his velvet soft voice, making me open my eyes to look at him.
"You can't read her mind?" I asked. I notice him frowning. "I take it she isn't letting you see anything?" I asked.
"When you sang at Forks High School Talent show and she blocked, I wanted to wring her neck." Edward says, kissing my cheek. "Jasper wouldn't let me." he says grinning. I laugh softly, leaning against his hard body.
"Apparently there is a Forks Community Talent Show, and she signed me up, again." I sigh.
"Oh, Emmett signed up for that as well." Edward says.
"Oh I fear to know what he's going to be doing." I say, making Edward chuckle at me.
"He's singing," Edward starts, and before I could ask what, he cut me off. "Believe me, you don't want to know what he's going to be sing, from what I can see, you and Alice are back up singers, while Rose is the female singer." he says.
"BELLA!" came my pixie best friend from upstairs. "COME HERE PLEASE!" she yells.
"Oh great, Bella Barbie time, again." I say as I stand up, kissing Edward gently on the mouth, before walking upstairs to Alice's room. She has a few choices of clothes picked out for me on the bed for me to try on.
"If you don't find anything, and if I don't like you in any one of these, we're going shopping….tomorrow." Alice says, I groan and start to try on clothes, and to my dismay, she liked none of them. She claps happily, grinning from ear to ear. "Shopping trip!" she says happily.
"Al-ice." I whine.
"Don't 'Alice' me Bells, you have to look good." Alice says. "And I can already see the prefect outfit in my head." she says grinning again. "Better get a lot asleep, we're leaving early." she says as I walk out. I walk downstairs to see Edward waiting to take me home. We get into his Volvo and he drives to my father's house.
"I'll be back when Charlie is asleep, I love you." Edward says, kissing me. I stare at him, dazed and he chuckles. I blush, as I get out of the car, tripping over a rock, but don't fall and walks inside.

"Alice?" I asked as we walk into another store at the mall.
"Yes?" Alice asked, looking at me.
"If you already know what I'm wearing, why don't we just go get that, so we can go home." I say looking at her. Alice rolls her eyes and continues to walk, she goes into the one store I would never step into, VICTORIA SECRET, I groan softly as she pulls me inside.
"Chill Bella, we're not here for anything of that nature, I've heard about this scent and been told it smells good, so I thought we'd get it." Alice says, pulling me to the fragrance section of the store. "Ah ha, here it is." she says, picking up a bottle called Heavenly,she puts a small amount on my wrist and I smell it.
"Oh wow I like that scent." I says. "How much?" I asked looking at her.
"Fifty dollars." Alice mumbles, but I caught it. I close me eyes, taking a deep breath, which makes me smell the scent again, I open my eyes to see her grinning at me.
"Alright, now can we go to my outfit you saw?" I asked.
"Yep." Alice says, popping the 'p.' I sigh happily, and gladly followed her out of the store, holding the small bag with my new scent, and we walk her favorite store, and she picks the pants and top I will be wearing and pays for them, and we go back home.
We walk inside, Edward frowning as he looks at the back Alice is carrying with my new clothes, knowing Alice is blocking them from his thoughts. She grins at him, before walking upstairs. I follow Edward to the piano, and start my lessons.
After my lessons, he took me home, kissing me again, leaving me dazed, as always when he breaths in my face, and chuckles when I leave his car, blushing bright red and walking inside. When I get out of the shower, changed in my pajama's, I can hear Charlie snoring in his room, and I see Edward sitting on my bed. I curl against him, and he hums my lullaby, letting me fall asleep.
**********
I'm standing in the back, humming the song I'm singing. Edward walks over to me, lightly touching my shoulders.
"Your going to do fine." Edward says softly in my ear. "Just follow along to what Rosalie is playing on the piano, and I'll be watching from the audience, with Esme and Carlisle." he says.
"What are you doing back here!" Alice exclaims. "You'll see her after, now shoo." she says. Edward rolls his eyes, and kisses me on the cheek before going to sit with Esme and Carlisle, his nose twitches and he can smell Charlie, as well as Jacob. The mayor of Forks, Bob Aarons, walks onto the stage, smiling.
"Welcome one and all to the Forks Community Talent show, our first performer did an amazing job at the talent show in the high school, and is gracing us with singing again, please welcome Isabella Swan, and her accompanist, Rosalie Hale." Bob says, he walks off of the stage as Rosalie walks out, going to the slick black piano, wearing a beautiful thin strapped red dress and strappy heels, her hair done in waves and her makeup light. She starts to play the beginning of the song, as I walk out. I'm wearing a beautiful blue knee length dress, tight around the chest, and flares out around my knees. My hair done in waves, I have light glittery blue eye shadow on my eyes, with black mascara and eyeliner and a clear sparkling lip-gloss on my lips, I raise the microphone to my mouth, and start to sing.
"He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?Or just a beautiful disaster."
My eyes move and spots Edward sitting near the front, smiling at me. I continue to sing, walking the stage.
"He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him?
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so longSo long."
I let Rosalie play a solo, before singing again after a few moments past.
"He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh 'cause I don't knowI don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
[Fading]
Beautiful
(Beautiful disaster)
Beautiful disaster."
When I finished singing, everyone started to clap and cheer, I bowed, and looked over to see Rosalie smiling at me, before standing up and bowing as well, we walked off of the stage, where Alice is waiting, grinning widely, before pulling me into her embrace.
"You did so well, I knew you would." Alice squealed.
"We have to go change, for Emmett's song." Rose says, as we walked to the girls dressing room.

I leave my Bella alone, since the show will be starting soon and I sit down next to Esme and Carlisle, who are smiling.
"How is she?" Carlisle asked.
"She's nervous." I says looking at him.
"She'll do great." Esme says smiling. She and Carlisle both notice Edward's nose twitching. "What is it?" she asked softly.
"Charlie is here." I say, my nose wrinkling in disgust. "As is Jacob." I says.
"Remember Edward," Carlisle starts. "They're here for Bella." he says.
"I know." I say. We look towards the stage, seeing Mayor Bob Aarons walking onto the stage. I sit up straighter when he calls Bella and Rose to the stage, I smile when Rose walks out, her gold eyes catching mine, as a small smile forms on her lips, before sitting at the piano. She starts to play, and then my angel walked out, looking beautiful. She raises the microphone to her lips, and start to sing.
"He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him

Oh and I don't know

But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster."
Her eyes catches mine, and I smile at her, making her smile at me, with the blush that I love so much forming on her cheeks, and she walks the length of the stage, careful as to not to trip from the heels she is wearing, that Alice no doubt made her wear, and she continues to sing.
"He's magic and myth

She lets Rosalie have a small solo, playing the piano, and I smile at her, as she watches Rosalie, before she sings again.
"He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful

Beautiful disaster."
I smiled when she finished singing, and everyone started to cheer and clap, Carlisle and Esme beside me doing the same. Her eyes catches mine again, and I smile at her, mouthing 'I love you.' Her and Rose walk off of the stage together.
"Beautiful." Esme whispers, nuzzling her head against Carlisle's shoulder, his arm wrapped around her shoulder, kissing her temple.
"I agree." Carlisle says smiling. The mayor came out again, clapping, and introduces the next act as Laruen and Jessica singing a duet. I lean back against the chair, and enjoy the rest of the show.
