As Charlie and I got home he started coming back from being dazed. We started talking as I got dinner started.
"You were great Bells. I can't wait to hear you sing tomorrow!" Charlie was overjoyed. He kept complimenting me until I went up to go to bed. I needed to be rested up for tomorrow.
When I came downstairs Charlie was waiting for me.
"Hey, Bells do you mind if I bring a few of my friends from La Push to the concert with us?"
"Sure Dad bring whoever you want to." I sort of liked the idea of having a big audience. We ate breakfast and Charlie called his friends and told them where to come. Then we drove to Forks High, where the concert was.
When we got inside Charlie went to find his friends and a seat. I went to get changed.
The people singing were really good. I was on next and I was a little nervous but it was nothing I couldn't handle.
Finally it was my turn to perform. I walked on stage and everyone clapped for me. It did help the nerves a bit. So with that I started to sing.
"This song is called When Your Broken, hope you guys like it.
"Wake up to a sunny day,
not a cloud up in the sky,
and then it starts to rain,
my defenses hit the ground,
and they shatter all around,
so open and exposed,
but I found strength in the struggle,
face to face with my troubles,
"When your broken in a million little pieces,
and your trying,
but you can't hold on anymore,
every tear falls down for a reason,
don't you stop believing in yourself,
when your broken,
"Little girl don't be so blue,
I know what your going through,
don't let it beat you up,
hitting walls and getting scars only makes you who you are, only makes you who you are,
no matter how much you heart is aching,
there is beauty in the breaking, yeah
"When your broken in a million little pieces,
and your trying,
but you can't hold on anymore,
every tear falls down for a reason,
don't you stop believing in yourself,
when your broken,
"Better days are gonna find you once again,
every piece will find it's place,
when your broken,
when your broken,
mmmm….
"When your broken in a million little pieces,
and your trying,
but you can't hold on anymore,
every tear falls down for a reason,
don't you stop believing in yourself,
when your broken,
oh when your broken,
when your broken….
When your broken"
Nobody said anything. I saw most of them with their mouths hanging open. When I spotted Charlie he was grinning from ear to ear. After about five minutes everybody stood up and clapped way more than they did for the others.
"Thank you." I said just before I was about to walk off of the stage. The stage manager stopped me.
"Some people want to hear some more of your songs, Bella."
"Really?" I hadn't thought that this would have happened."Which ones?"
"They want to hear 'Every time we touch' and 'Could this be love that I feel."
"Ok. I am going to go and get something to drink, could you tell them that I'll be out in just a sec.?"
"Of course." She said just before walking up to the microphone to announce the next time I would be on.
