(A/N) Hello everybody! Thank you so much for the response! This is my first story and I was a bit apprehensive, but you guys make me feel right at home.

The cocktail bar I use here is a real one. Its the same bar my beta and I go. I included a link if you're curious. ( )

Also ,do you have suggestions of a song she can sing in the battle? I'm stuck!

P.S.

Sorry for taking this long to upload. I work 60 hours weeks so let's just say I'm really tired!

Enjoy,

Chapter 2

Bpov

I went home in a daze. Did I really just audition? Seeing Edward was surreal. Somehow even though I sometimes thought about him, I never really thought I would actually see him again. And to top that off, I got through to the battle rounds! I can't wait to tell Rose.

It was a long day and I was looking forward to a hot bath. Opening the door everything was dark. Rose must be hold up at work, dammit, I really wanted to tell her I about today. I turned on the lights and confetti was smashed in my face. "Congratulations!'' Rose yelled. Wiping confetti from my face I asked. "Rose, how did you know anybody turned around?'' She gave me a weird look. "Bella, of course everybody turned around! You have the best voice I've ever heard and Edward was bound to recognize it. So tell me: I'm I right? Did they all turn around?'' I looked at her. The confidence she has in me is amazing. I mean ,I love to sing, and I know that I'm not a bad singer but still. I would never have imagined that they all would turn around. "Yes you're ,right they all turned around! OMG Rose ,I really cannot believe it!''. "We have to celebrate'' Rose said. "What did you have in mind, our usual spot?'' "Sounds good to me girl, come on help me pick out an outfit. You still look amazing from the audition." "Sure thing, I just need to call Charlie first."

Grabbing my cell phone I dialed my dad. "This is chief Swan''. "Hello dad''. I answered. "Hey there Bells! How did your audition go? Did they all turn around?'' I smiled to myself, I guess Rose is not the only one who has faith in me. "They all turned around, and I went with Alice as my coach!'' "I can't believe I didn't ask that, I'm such a idiot'' Rose yelled from her room. "That's wonderful honey, I'm so proud of you.'' I heard someone talking on the other and of the phone.'"Sorry Bells, I have to go. Talk to you soon?''.Chief Swan, always busy. "Sure thing dad, love you bye.''

I walked into Rose's room and sat on her bed. "Sorry Bella, I was just so happy that they turned around that I never thought about you having to choose between them. Tell me everything that happened and start from the beginning." She said glaring at me. I sighed. I liked being to the point, not beating around the bush, ow well. "I got there early in the morning ,and right away they told us that this was the last day of shooting so the spots on the teams are limited. I gotta say that kind of freaked me out.'' I said with a giggle. "Anyway, I did a interview with Carson Daly. We just talked about why this important for me, I told him that I felt like it was my time to shine. That until now I never really believed in myself.'' Rose walked over to me and sat on the bed as well ,an eager look on her face. I rolled my eyes. "The waiting was the worst part, even worse than the audition itself. You know I brought my guitar with me and I was bored so I started to play a little. Some people came to sit by me and it became a huge jam session. It was amazing!'' I smiled remembering.

"Only you Bella could be having a jam session like they have in a movie ,really, that shit doesn't happen to NORMAL people!'' I raised an eyebrow, "If you want me to continue, don't insult me.'' Rose made a shooing motion with her hand. "After waiting for a few hours they summoned me. We did a quick sound check in a soundproof room and then it was already showtime. I was so nervous when I walked on stage, but somehow when I sat on the chair the nerves were gone. A strange feeling came over me like I was back at camp singing that song to Edward for the first time. When I finished they all were facing me. They started talking, and the sell pitch began. Eventually I went for Alice because she seems like a person who understands me, and our music is similar."

''Good decision. I also think Alice is the best option for you, because if you went with Edward it would be kind of awkward don't you think?'' I nodded. "That's what I thought so too''. I turned around to her wardrobe, "Now, what to wear tonight."

We decided that because I was wearing a white tank top and leather pants, Rose should wear a dress. "What about the blue one with the polkatots? Or the simple but oh so sexy little black dress?'' I said. " I'll go with the little black dress, it matches your rock chick look.'' She said with a wink. When Rose was done changing we were off to ''Kiwi'' our favorite cocktail bar.

''Hello girls, it's good to see you again. The usual? for you?'' the waitress asked us.'' Yes please, could you also bring some beer battered onion rings?'' I asked. '' No problem." She turned around to get our order.

When our drinks arrived Rose raised her glass. "Here is to us Bella, we've been through so much but only came out stronger. I'm happy with our live here in LA, and thank you so much for being my best friend. I'm so happy for you, you're gonna make it big, I know you will. When she finished I almost had tears in my eyes. It's true that Rose and I been through much.

Rose parents and mine were friend. One night our mothers had a girls night out ,and while driving home they were hit by a drunken driver. Neither of our mothers survived the accident. I was 7 at the time and Rose was 8.

Charlie, my dad pulled through. Of course it was hard on him but he managed. Now he's remarried to Sue, a lovely woman who takes good care of him.

But Rose's dad is another story. He had his own garage that was doing very well ,but after the accident he started drinking and gambling. Rose's started to work full time at the garage after graduating high school so it didn't go bankrupt. For four years she worked almost every day, more than 80 hours a week ,just to keep bread on the table for her father and herself.

But a year ago her father died, finally drinking himself to death. It was really difficult voor Rose but now she's finally free to do what she wants. She sold the garage and moved to LA with me to start a new life. Taking classes online to get her college degree in economics and works during the day at Jake's garage shop to pay the bills.

I admire her so much for her strenght and her beauty inside and out.

"Bella, are you ok?'' Rose asked. "Yes, of course,'' I said clearing my head.'' Just happy to share this moment with you. I don't think I've would have made it this far without your help.''

After three cocktails we headed back home since Rose had to get up early for work. I was lying in my bed not able to sleep. My head was spinnin, finally I was 1 step closer to my goal. All my life I wanted to be a singer and now was my time to shine, I could feel it. The last thing I thought of before falling asleep were the words I'm yours.
