Chapter 4 " road trip and the concert."
Bella's POV
"Bella where are my shoes!" Rose yelled as I was packing my guitar and lap top in to their cases. "Bella have you seen my shoes." Rose asked more politely this time.
"No Rose I haven't seen them are you sure there not in the 'closet'." I said yeah right closet that thing is a whole room and she calls it a closet.
"No oh Bella you're a life saver I just remembered the perfect shoes that are there." she said and ran off to the 'closet'
Well its been about a week or two I think its two yeah its two weeks that we won and we did our first concert here in Seattle and then now we are going down to Portland then down to California to do some concerts there.
Wow this is going to be exhausting plus we just found out that Quil can't make it and neither can Embry man I would be mad if Jake said no but I guess it was either Embry and Quil or Jake. Well that's what Sam said we had to chose and well I guess Rose and I can put more into it her and I with the guitar and me with the piano.
"Bella you almost ready to go we have to meat the Cullen's in about 30 minutes?" Jasper asked from the door.
"Yeah did you pack up the keyboard?" I asked him and he nodded "is Rose ready?" I added
"Yeah she has more bags then you and well that's a wow." He said with a smile. "oh and Jake is here also. Remember the only things we are packing are the things we really need, like the instruments and cloths." Jasper said
"Okay my thing are there and well I'll carry my guitar and laptop down stairs." I told him and he nodded and grabbed my things. I went to the bathroom and got my this that I needed for what I called my ritual also known as makeover time. Time to go and face the music, ha ha ha I really crack my self up because that works both ways. Then I realized that I was down stairs.
"Looks like some one got cut up in their thoughts." Jake said as I put my things on the couch.
"Can we go now or are we waiting for pigs to fly." I said
"No we can go now me and Jake put all our things in the truck also he already took the drum set to were he have to go." Jasper said
"Oh Bella can I talk to you really quick in the kitchen?" Rose asked
"Umm... sure." I said and fallowed her into the kitchen.
"Bella um… I need to… um tell you something?" she stammered
"Go ahead say it." I encouraged her
"Um Alice called last night," She said and I nodded "And she asked ifyouandjasperweredating." she said to quickly
"Wait what?" I asked her
"If… you… and... Jasper.." I cut rose off
"Rose I'm Bella not stupid say it right." I told her
"If you and Jasper are dating." she said
"Why would she think that? And why does she have a crush on Jasper didn't she have a boyfriend?" I asked
"Bella come on stop being like that you know her and James broke up." Rose said now walking out of the kitchen and to the front door.
"Tell her yes." I told Rose as I passed her and just stood there like if she just saw the last pair of the limited edition of Jimmy Choo's. dead in her tracks. I hoped into the truck while Rose took the back seat with Jake. We drove about Hmm…now where because one I looked at the address I realized that they are our neighbors about half a mile up the rode.
"Stop!." I yelled.
"What is it Bella?" Jasper asked with concern as we well skidded in front of the Cullen's house.
"We are here." I said pointing out of my window. Then Jake was laughing his ass off.
"Gosh Jasper I told you it was close." he said in between laughs. And then they got out and were in front of the truck then Emmett, Alice, and Edward came to great them. I still in the truck. Oh god Emmett noticed.
"AHHHH!!" I screamed as Emmett pulled me put of the truck and swung me around.
"Put my fragile Bella down Emmett." Jasper ordered.
Edwards pov.
"Put my fragile Bella down Emmett." Jasper ordered Emmett.
I turned around to look at Alice and her face was written in heartbroken and pain.
"Emmett put Isabella down. Now." Esme told him
"Ye ma'am." and he put my Bella down, wait no not my Bella Jasper's Bella.
"umm… hi Mrs. Cullen but I go by Bella not to be rude or anything." Bella said with a slight blush.
"Okay and Bella its Esme for you too" She said and went back to Carlisle
"So I guess we should put everything under the bus." Emmett directed a while the girls went to check out the bus. During the whole thing of putting the bags under the bus there was an awkward silence between me and Jasper.
"Hey have you guys seen my portable keyboard and my laptop?" Bella asked just as we were going to get on the bus.
"Yeah Eddie here was to busy in thought that he just flung everything under the bus." Jacob responded
"What! That coast me a lot of money." Bella exclaimed
"I'll get it." I said and went to were I threw the bags but I only threw them because I thought they were Jaspers I mean the bag said Jasper's or well it was stitched on. So I got the laptop and keyboard plus her guitar. And went back to the door of the bus but then noticed that they were inside already so I took everything inside and noticed that Carlisle was ready to hit the road. So I went inside and noticed that Bella was a the table looking out the window just waiting for us to leave.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I put her things down in front of her.
"Yeah I guess its that. Wait why I'm I explaining this to you all you have been doing to me is ironing me." She said and she was right I was ignoring her but it was because I can't look at her I'm not worthy of being in front of such a beautiful goddess.
"I'm sorry." I said and then turned and went to where the beds were and decided to work on some music. But then heard the door open and I noticed that it was Bella. Thank god she can't see me I was in the far corner of the hallway/room.
She got on the top bed and opened the computer along with her guitar and a little piece of plastic. Is that her keyboard it looks more like well a piece of plastic. Then she started playing on it god that melody is wonderful.
"There is a song that is inside of my soul.
Its one that I've tried to write over and over again.
I will wake inth then it could but you sing to me but you sing to me over and over again.
So I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pry
To be only yours I pry to be only your…." "God why can't I come up with more words." she said
"All you have to do is consecrate on the music." I told her from the side of her assigned bed
"Ahhh!!" She yelled and Jasper came running threw the door along with Rosalie.
"What are you doing to her!" Jasper yelled and Rose pushed her way to Bella who was now crying on her shoulder. "Get out!" he yelled and I applied.
"GO sit with Dad Edward." Alice said with a clenched jaw.
"Edward we should have told you." Carlisle started
"Told me what?" I asked
"About Bella's past and why she doesn't get close to any one." he responded
"So what happen to her?" I asked again
"Its not my place to tell Edward you know that." He said.
"Dad is Bella and Jasper you know going out." I asked
"Edward." he said
"Yeah I know. I know." I said and the rest of the way to Oregon was silent all that came from the bus was the song Bella was trying to write.
"Edward we're here come on lets go eat." Rosalie told me as she tapped my shoulder. We stopped at an Italian place. We walked in and they sent us directly to our tables Esme and Carlisle got a table for them selves and we took one.
"Hello I'm Chris I'll be your waiter tonight is there anything I can get you." He mainly asked Bella. She just blushed at him, did I see a wink I totally saw a wink what would Jasper say. Why is Jasper flirting with Alice and she looks totally uncomfortable we all know that they are going out why would they do this to each other.
"Hi yes I'll get the Tour of Italia and an Italian soda. Please." Bella told him and he nodded. While every body ordered I just sat there looking out the window that was on the other side of where we were sitting.
"And for you sir?" he asked me
"Coke and Ravioli." I told him curtly. And he closed his book and went to place the order.
"Oh Bella our song." Rosalie told Bella
"What song?" Emmett asked
"Well we wrote a song and Jasper there has a friend who is in the radio business and we gave the song and its been in the air for a wile but nobody actually noticed.
"No Sleeping Tonight." I told them
"What? you know it?" Bella asked me stunned
"Yeah I think is a good song I never thought you sung it though." I replied
"Oh that's nice." Bella said then the overly 'helpful' waiter came and out the food on the table.
"So is there anything I can get you?" Chris I think his name was asked .
"Yeah your number. Maybe I will have a reason to "come" down here." Bella said with a blush.
Bella's pov
Man I can't believe Rose is making me say this.
"U so O me Roz" I texted to Rose
"Yeah your number. Maybe I will have a reason to "come" down here." I said turning a very deep shade of Red
"Er… Umm… I'll be right back." Chris the waiter said and ran off.
"Oh on all that is holy that was hilarious Bella why did you do it?" Emmett asked me and I noticed that Jasper was trying really hard not to laugh. God kill me now. Why don't you." I thought.
"Bella why did you ask him that I thought you were going out with Jasper." Edward said as I drank my coke but sprayed it out threw my mouth and nose.
"That's not true who told you that?" I asked him shit I didn't think Rose would actually tell Alice that.
"Alice did." then I turned to Alice and she pointed to Rose
"Why did you tell her that?" I asked Rose
" I didn't she asked me if you two were going out and I said nothing. Its not my fault that Alice took it as a yes." Rose explained . Thank you Rose I so owe you some knew shoes. I thought.
"So you aren't going out?" Alice and Edward asked in unison
"GOD NO." Jasper and I yelled at the same time
"He's my brother." I said
"She's my sister." Jasper said
"How you look nothing alike." Emmett asked bluntly
"We were adopted." Rose said in a quiet voice.
"Why?" Emmett asked again
"Emmett don't" Alice warned. Did she know? Did Rose tell her? Were the questions going through my mind.
Dinner was silent we ate and didn't talk Carlisle paid while I gave an extremely generous tip on the table. We walked out of the restaurant and back on the bus it was only about another 6 hours till we got to Portland. Everybody went to there signed beds but I decided to stay out side well in the "dinner table". I worked on some lyrics and that when that one song came to my head.
"So tell me now, tell me nowWhy you're so far awayWhen I'm still so closeYou don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"You said you would love me until you dieAnd as far as I know you're still alive, babyYou don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heartI tried so hard to be attentiveTo all you wantedAlways supportive, always patientWhat did I do wrong?I'm wondering for days and hoursIt's clear, it isn't here where you belong"
After that I packed up my things and decided to write in the bedroom with the headphones on. I went to where I thought my bed would be but I saw Emmett on it and he was faced towards Rose watching her sleep.
"Emmett where I'm I supposed to sleep?" I asked him in a hushed voice.
"There is a bed in the back right." Emmett answered with a sigh so I decided to head back to Emmett's bed no body was in the bed in front of it, it was either Esme's, Carlisle's, or Edward's but hey I have to work on that song to get it done so Rose and every body can give an "okay" t it.
"Anyhow, anyhowI wish you both all the bestI hope you get alongBut you don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"You said you would love me until you dieAnd as far as I know you're still alive, babyYou don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heartYou don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"You said you would love me until you dieAnd as far as I know you're still alive, babyYou don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heartOpen heartOpen heartIt should be illegal to deceive a woman's heartOpen heartOpen heartIt should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart"
"Yes finally done." I semi-yelled
"What's going on." the person next to me asked in a groggy voice. It was Edward's voice.
"Oh I'm sorry did I wake you?" Then I noticed that it was 2 A.M.
"No its okay I fell asleep when you began singing, Oh by the way we are in front of the hotel were they are sleeping at." Edward stated
"What?" I asked
"Well you were too into your song all you told then was go have fun." Edward explained
"I'm just used to saying that." I stated and started to pack up my things to put them in the closet next to the bed. "So are we staying or do we get a room also?" I asked
"No we get the duty of watching the bus." Edward said as he rose from the bed. Oh god he is ripped I just thought it was computerized. "Bella are you okay you are paler then usual." He asked
"I'm fine." I said in a quiet voice as he handed me one of my bags. That had my casual cloths in it. "Thank you." I told him and went to the micro minni bathroom to get changed. God why did Rose take out my comfy cloths. Wait this isn't my bag this is Rose's. Great now I have to use her things. So I put on one of her dark blue satin babydolls that went a little bit above then mid thigh then put my hair down from the peony tail that I had it in and walked out of the bathroom.
"Wow." was all that came out of Edward mouth to low that I think I wasn't supposed to hear.
"Sorry they left me Rose's bag not mine,." I told him.
"Sorry I got the bag I had your name on it." He apologized
"Sorry its that ever since we moved out of my dad's our things are all over the house. We've only been there for a few weeks." I told Edward as I hopped into the bed witch I think I gave Edward a wonderful view of my other face.
"So what happen? Why don't you let anybody in?" Edward asked and I think the paleness on my face was completely gone.
"Umm…it happen when I was in college I was dating a guy named Mike nice guy really cute. but it only lasted about two years he even proposed and I said yes." I started but immediately got watery eyed.
"Um Bella I'm sorry but Emmett sent me a text him and Rose are now officially going out." Edward said.
"Good for them." I said with silent tears going down my face. Good thing that the lights were off.
"Bella you don't have to tell me." Edward said .
"I want to Rose told Alice about every body's problems even mine I think its only fair you know." I told him.
"Only if you want." Edward said
"Well it was a year and a half when he asked me then he began with the verbal abuse. Saying why I didn't get pretty like I used to. I mean I had midterms I didn't have time I was studding law for gods sake. sorry god. Then we would hit me nothing major just in the right places so you wouldn't see them. Them I found him and three girls in my bed with him on our day before our wedding and three of them were my best friends and my bride's maids then out of no were my maid of honor comes out naked and sweating and my best guy friend coming out of my bathroom." I said
"Oh Bella I'm sorry I didn't know." Edward said as he pulled me in to his arms and now I realized that I was sobbing and hard. Then everything went black,
Next day and the concert
"Aww look at them they look so cute." I heard a high pitched voice say
"Bella looks hot in that nighty and its barely covering her ass too." I heard a familiar voice say and then I saw lots of flashes.
I opened my eyes and saw that it was Emmett and Alice and Rose. Jasper that were staring at us then I saw Edward next hugging tighter as I tried to get away.
"No Bella don't go. I wont do that to you." Edward said in his sleep. Oh he sleep talks how cute. I thought.
"Edward baby time to get up." I whispered in his ear sweetly to see if he would get up and it worked his eyes flashed open. "hey buddy can you let me go I need to go pee." I told him and he let go instantly.
Edwards pov
"Edward baby time to get up." I heard Bella's voice say but then my eye flew open because she called baby. "hey buddy can you let me go I need to go pee." she told me and I reluctantly let her go.
"Wow what happen to you two last night?" Emmett asked
"Nothing she told me about Mike and she cried I hugged her and then she fell asleep." I explained.
"Wait she told you about Mike?" Jasper asked stunned
"Yeah?" I said but it sounded more like a question.
"Oh well look at the time. We girls have to get ready. Well got to the mall not get ready." Alice said
"I what?" Bella asked
"Lets go I think that will do for now." Alice and Rose got Bella's arms and purse and out the bus they went and took Alice's Porche that we were hauling.
Before the concert
Bella's pov
Me and Rose bought really nice outfits I wore bark denim skinny jeans with thigh high healed boots that I bought along with a nice top it was a simple blood red tube top but with a design in black but I couldn't really notice what it was. I got my red hair straight and my brown hair in loose curls. Rose got red knee high boots with a skirt that was also dark denim with a black top. We made Jake and Jasper wear simple back t-shirts with dark denim jeans and the regular shoes.
We got out of the bus because well we were in front of Portland Arena.
"Alright Bella you know your on in about a hour. So we are going to get the things down and you guys discuss the song your going to sing and well the makeup room is down the hall." Carlisle told me.
"Yes I got it and thank you again." I said
"Bella you going to make this tradition?" he asked
"Well is there any other way of thanking you?" I asked
"yeah you rock your heart out." Carlisle stated.
"Okay." I told him and went to the makeup room. They did my makeup black eye shadow with black eye liner and dark red lipstick that from far away it looked black.
"10 minutes Eclipsed Sun." the back staged manger told us.
"Ready guys we are starting with I Want to be Your Car, then The Howling then Everybody's Fool, and then Hello then we shift to 4ever. And I think we'll do My Immortal, then Somebody to love and well we just go from there ." I told the guys
"Alright Eclipsed Sun your turn. So we were thinking every body go on now and then we elevate you up." the stage manger told me
"Sounds good." Rose answered for me while I nodded like an idiot.
"Okay out you guys go… this way Miss Swan." the Stage manger said and I fallowed her to a plat form thing it looked like a big square. "Okay Miss Swan you are going to squat and then as it rises so are you got it… good." she said and then left.
Once it started to move I heard that the band started to play so I started to sing into the microphone.
Edward's pov
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
I want to be you car tonight
So you can take me for a ride
And you can grip me like your streeing wheel
Just for to night I'm going to be tough like steel
I got the bumper that you like
I got the kind of rims that shine
You can turbo charge me if you like it fast
Cause I'm the girl that was built..
To last."
"Oh go I love this song Rose sang it for me yesterday she old me that Bella wrote it for her." Emmett wailed out.
"It was very… moving." I said
"Edward I think she was looking at you the whole time. Wait she's going to say something." Alice stated
"thank you very much we are so excided to be here again. I know we've been here before to do a battle but we finally won. This song has been written for my sister and her life but actually that song and I can't believe I'm saying this. I wrote this song because me and my sister have this crazy obsession with cars and well I wrote this about a person that millions of girls drool for and I get to be on a bus with him for a whole tour." Bella said into the microphone.
"Wait what!." Emmett yelled and Rose looked well surprised as well.
"I guess she had us all fooled." Alice said
"Yeah." I said with a sigh
"Well Eddie now you know that you got Bella's attention and that Rose sang your song before we shagged." Emmett said bitterly
"God Emmett like we want to know what you and Rosalie did plus my name is Edward not Eddie." I semi-yelled at him.
"Okay well we are switching it up and going with Everybody's Fool." Bella said and then they started to play and the audience went crazy.
Then I heard the piano that Bella was playing then the band begin to play and I saw how each of them got into the music each one into a little bubble that seamed to be glued together. Then she began to sing.
"Perfect by natureIcons of self indulgenceJust what we all needMore lies about a world thatNever was and never will beHave you no shame don't you see meYou know you've got everybody fooled"
"Wow I didn't know Bella was so deep I'm begging to like her Edward don't let her go." Esme told me as she leaned so she can whisper it into my ear. I just mouthed mom to her.
"Look here she comes nowBow down and stare in wonderOh how we love youNo flaws when you're pretendingBut now I know sheNever was and never will beYou don't know how you've betrayed meAnd somehow you've got everybody fooledWithout the mask where will you hideCan't find yourself lost in your lie"
"I totally love this song and look ay how Bella puts meaning into her face when she is sing it its like she is telling people out there." Carlisle stated
"I know the truth nowI know who you areAnd I don't love you anymore
Never was and never will beYou don't know how you've betrayed meAnd somehow you've got everybody fooledIt never was and never will beYou're not real and you can't save meSomehow now you're everybody's fool "
"well this song is actually for my sister Rosalie, men look at her and only she her not her problem and what she went though." Bella said with a tear sliding down her face.
Then they went on with their songs. I loved how Bella would give the name to each song when she began my favorite was 'I want to be your car to night' and '4ever' also 'Somebody to love' but that was Alice's favorite also. Then they were don and went off stage and now it was our turn.
"Okay Twilight Moon your up." Sandra the stage manager told us.
"Okay what songs?" Emmett asked me.
"Ever lasting Friend, Boston, Here Without You.." but was cut off by Alice
"I still can't believe you wrote that song about Bella … Well that's all you been doing since you saw her on the road." Alice laughed
"okay fine can we just go and sing?" I asked them
"Yeah sure lover boy." Emmett said as he made his way out the door.
Bella's pov
"This song is really new its not out in any CD that we've written and I too wrote this song for a person I'm sharing a bus with…So here we go and we hope you like it."
"A heart beat skip, relationshipinside a bubble bathan icing drip below your lipso we undo the matha sudden slip betweenmy pathetic sedativesa real life script of how mistakes became our medicineso delay the hurtful wordsof complicated overcastplease take the messagethat i'm picking up my chin at last
"Bella he wrote this for you" Rose stated
i said my confidenceit gets stronger when you're next to mebut we pray for miles awayin quest for what we long to bei might crumblei might take a fall againbut you're my everlasting friendmy everlasting frienda heart beat skip, relationshipso we would stay up latea tear drop drip below your lipbeside the airport gate
"Oh god Bella I think he's into you." Jasper fake gasped
a sudden slip from wherewe used to be a year agoa real life script of how our hands would holdand not let goso delay the mournful wordsof complicated overcastplease take the messagethat you taught me how to live at last
"Wow I wonder what you guys talked about last night." Rose wondered allowed
and i said my confidencegets stronger when your next to mebut we wave respect goodbyein quest for what we long to bei might crumblei might take a fall again (still missing you)but you're my everlasting friendwill you be coming home?everlasting friendwill you be coming home?"
"See all he wants is a friendship not a relationship why would you two think that or fake to think that." I told Rose and Jasper.
"Bella please I see how he looks at you he sees you with adoration, and when you put your head on his shoulder when you rest he just stares at you like you might be gone or disappear any second." Jake said as he got me by the shoulders.
"Wow Jake I don't know you paid attention to well my life." I told him
"Bella your like my sister of course I look out for you." Jake responded
The rest of the concert was filled with screaming fan and some girls threw there bras and one even jumped on stage just to hug Edward. It was hilarious, then we were done they packed up all our things in the big rig truck that has been hauling our things around and to my surprise there was a shiny Volvo also in the back and I knew why it was there so he could drive when he wants to get far away. Or so that's what Alice told me.
I had just finished in the bathroom and was wearing my dark blue basketball short and my Cornell tank top. And went to sit at the couch that was in the bus and Edward was sitting there watching TV.
"May I sit here with you?' I asked him as I got out a blanket from the top cabinet.
"Sure if you want I can put in a movie?" He asked
"Sure whichever one you like is fine. Has every one gone to bed?" I asked
"Yes they were tired and we are only diving to a rest station that is about an hour away we will rest there and then head down to California." He informed me. Then the movie started, so I curled up on the couch as I wrapped the blanket around me and Edward. It wasn't until 30 minutes into the movie when I finally fell asleep.
