*******************************************************************************************************
Over the past weeks I was busied with rehearsals, meetings, costume fittings and more rehearsals! I had always envisioned myself as the star, but never
thought it would actually happen. I mean me? Bella Swan, leading lady? I don't think so. But when I told my angel about it, he seemed overjoyed.
"Excellente Isabella! I knew the directors would love you!" The velvet exclaimed from the shadows in my room.
"Merci monsieur!" I smiled, happy to see his excitement. "Will you be watching the show tomorrow?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world and the heavens up, dear!" He reassured me. Even though the comforting and gentle words did easy my self esteem, I was
felt like I was about burst from my nerves.
The night came, and it was time to prepare for the show. After my 5 maids finally settled my ridiculous costume on me, and laced me up, I was taking my
place backstage.
"Good luck" Esme squeezed my shoulders and gave me and encouraging smile. I attempted to say "Thank you" but was no words came out, so I nodded
instead. I tried to look my best, or at least look like I wasn't about to vomit. I peered out the curtains, and saw every seat filled. I could feel sweat beads, rolling
down my back as my nerves got the best of me. Don't mess up, don't mess up! I continued to say to myself over and over. Caius cued the musicians and the
music slowly drained on. Alice gave me a hug before leaping on stage and performing the routine with the rest of the ballerinas. I saw Lauren glance at me
from onstage and I gave her a little wave. Ha, jealous much? When the routine finally ended, it was my cue to go onstage. Crap. I did my best to walk out on
stage, without tripping over my insanely large dress. When I reached the middle of the stage, lights flashed on me as my song began.
"Think of me..." The words sang out of my mouth effortlessly, and I let myself sink into the music. I began to smile as, the song became nothing more than a
blur. Peoples eyes intently watched me, as my soft voice filled their ears. Wow I thought to myself. I walked down to stage right, and let my eyes wander.
Sitting in one of the booths was Carlisle and Aro, beaming at my singing. I gave a little nod to them, and wandered towards to stage left. Once again my eyes
gazed up the walls. When instantly they stopped at the booth above me. There watching me with a smirk on his face, was my friend, adviser, love, Jacob Black.
My thoughts were stopped when the songs big finally came. Don't mess up!
"Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade. They have their season, so do we. But please promise me that sometimes, you will think... of me!" My voice rang
throughout the opera, as people stood and applauded me. I took my final bow, but looked up once again to the booth above. Jacob was gone. Had he left? Did
he not enjoy the opera? My singing? I was rushed off the stage, when the curtains closed and the Opera had ended.
I was now sitting in the center of my new bed in my new room! It was so much larger, since I'm a leading lady now. Alice was not happy about that, but she
was really proud of me. I was going to miss Alice. Even if we were still living in the same building but... I felt a bit lonely... In this big room by myself. That's
when my angel popped in my head.
"Angel?" I turned around to find a red rose with a black ribbon around it. It was so beautiful! I wondered who left it. Suddenly there was a knock at my door.
Alice, I thought. That was until I opened the door to see...my old childhood friend.
