Don't own Twilight or any of the songs. Probably couldn't write a song if I had too. I do own piano that I haven't played in 10 years so probably couldn't do that anymore either.

Chapter 4

Saturday night. Apparently we were heading to Ethan's. Not that it's normally a bad thing. We'll be up on stage doing our thing. It would be great. Especially now that Dad decided to give us a recording contract. I know what your thinking, daddy got us the contract, probably have no talent. Actually we were approached by several different labels but why not keep it in the family?
Saturday night concert at Ethan's, I'll definitely be getting laid tonight. Girls love guys in bands, practically throw themselves at you. Most of them are dumb as rocks but I'm not talking to them anyway. It's a one night stand, they don't have to be smart for that.
Problem with tonight is Daddy apparently signed some all girl group and wants us to collaborate with them. Which probably means carrying them, no way are girls going to be talented enough to keep up with us. Guess I'll find out in the next 30 minutes.
I met up with my brothers and Garrett at Ethan's and headed back stage. The place was crawling with girls and I was trying to pick out my partner for later tonight. Girls backstage are always the easiest. Groupies, they'll give it up whenever you want.
We spotted Carlisle and Esme and headed over to them. As we made our way over to them I was caught off guard by the most amazing ass I have ever seen. The girl had long brown curls flowing down to her shoulders, a midnight blue tank top that accentuated her pale skin and the tightest, little black mini skirt that hugged her ass and "fuck me" heels. She was bent over picking up a guitar. I had found my partner for the night. Dressed like that she was probably just waiting for one of the band members to hit on her.
I broke off from the guys and approached her "I can show you how to play later." I told her.
She jumped slightly startled by my approach. When she turned around I noticed she had a hint of a blush creeping up her cheeks. "Excuse me?" she asked.
She had the most gorgeous chocolate eyes I had ever seen. Tonight was going to be a good night. "My fingers can do amazing things. I can show you when I get done with my show tonight."
"What if I already know how to play?" she asked quietly.
"Well, then I can show you what else my fingers can do?"
"And what if I don't want to know what your fingers can do?"
"Oh trust me" I told her. "There's only one reason a girl is dressed like you back stage at a place like this and I think we both know it's not for the music."
She smirked at me and asked "What if I'm in the band and I'm really back stage for the music?"
"Ha, girls like you are not in bands. Girls like you are with the band. Do you want to be with my band tonight?"
She was smiling now. Score, I'm going to get lucky and I haven't even sang yet. My dick was twitching in my pants with anticipation. This girl did have an innocence about her. Probably here with her more slutty friends but I like a little innocence. At least I don't have to worry as much about where she's been.
"Do lines like that normally work on the tramps back here?" she asked me. What!?
"Huh?"
"I really don't see how basically being told that there is no way I have talent and that I dressed up just to get laid could really work as a pick up line. Do girls really like being insulted when you try to proposition them? "
"So, I need to flatter you first?"
She laughed at this point, "It wouldn't matter if you flattered me or not. I don't date musicians."
She doesn't date musicians? "What the hell are you doing back stage then? And why don't you date musicians?"
"Well, it really is none of your business why I'm backstage. I don't date musicians because I find that they are normally cocky, egotistical man whores. Thank you for helping me remind myself that that continues to hold true. It was nice to meet you."
And with that she turned and walked away. She fucking walked away from me, me, Edward Cullen. Girls do not walk away from me. I watched her as her hips swayed back and forth. She stopped and spoke to my parents then went into one of the side rooms. What the hell was that about? How does she know my parents?
I made my way over to my parents. Carlisle informed me that apparently Swan, the girl group he had just signed would be going on first and that Em, Jazz and Garrett had went out to get a table big enough for all of us.
I went and found the guys. Luckily they had already ordered a pitcher of beer and a round of shots. It was going to be a long night, I just got shot down and now I had to listen to whiny girl music. Might as well get used to it. Apparently I'll be listening to it almost every night for the next 8 months or so.
Ethan took the stage as the lights dimmed, "Ladies and gentlemen! You saw these ladies for the first time last week. Since then we have had tons of requests for them to come back. I'm pleased to announced that as part of their new record deal they will be here every Saturday night for the next two months. Please welcome to the stage, Bella, Alice, Rose and Kate …..Let's give it up for Swan!"
The crowd cheered as the lights went down on the stage. That's when I heard the opening chords to Hallelujah. Now don't get me wrong, I love that song but it's over done and normally not done well…
Now I've heard there was a sacred chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Holy shit. It's the girl I hit on back stage. The same one that just rejected me. Damn she has an awesome voice. The rest of the band are standing there while she strummed her acoustic guitar. As she got to the Hallelujahs she takes the guitar off places it on the stand and picks up her Fender. What the hell are they about to do to this song? The other girls begin playing and I realize their not playing the entire song. They used it as their intro. I admit, I'm intrigued and curious.
somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
if we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
if only time flew like a dove
we gotta make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming "hallelujah"
we'll make it last forever
holding onto patience, wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
if only time flew like a dove
we could watch it fly and just keep looking on
this time we're not giving up
let's make it last forever
screaming "hallelujah"
we'll make it last forever
and we've got time on our hands
and we've got, got nothing but time on our hands
got nothing but, got nothing but
got nothing but time on our hands
this time we're not giving up
oh, let's make it last forever
screaming "hallelujah"
"hallelujah"
"hallelujah"
Well hell. They are good and I basically insinuated that she had no talent back stage. I sat and watched their entire set completely enthralled. These girls were awesome. Their original songs were brilliant. What shocked me the most was their cover songs. Sure they did Pink's U & UR Hand, I'm pretty sure that one was for me. Why? She looked straight at me as she sang. They also did some Beatles covers that were awesome. They didn't do typical girl band covers. Most of the songs they did were from male artists and hard to cover. They announced they were going to do a song that reminded them of playing back home and did an awesome cover of Whiskey River. Seriously Willie Nelson, that's not something you typically hear in Ethan's but it was good. They got me wondering where back home was if doing a Willie song was what reminded them of home. Man I'm going to have to kiss ass later probably even apologize. We have to work together.
I looked over to the guys and notice that they are as enthralled with the girls as I am. Figures, the bass player was a cute, pixie like girl that was just Jazz's type. The lead guitar was a knock out model type blonde that Em always goes for. The drummer was similar to the blonde only not as curvy, just Garrett's type. Shit this is going to be a long tour.
