(Bella's Pov)

The stage is a comforting place for me, even though I still get butterflies sometimes. Tonight I had butterflies for a different reason...

The few faces I had seen earlier still hadn't clicked quite yet, I was still trying to remember who they were when, I grabbed the microphone and began on the first song. When I was almost to the end of it, the names of the people in the back finally fit together. THEY were here, THEY came back, and somehow.....THEY found me and I was scared by this, it was something that I couldn't deny.

Then the song was over and I rushed off stage as they quickly switched out the instruments. Josh, Kevin and Chris were already waiting for me and by the looks on their faces we had done great. But their faces quickly changed from happy and excited to worried and angry. They knew exactly what I was thinking even though no one could read my mind, not even the Volturi could get into my head but, they read mine easily, like a Dr. Seuss book. Although I had nothing to say because knowing that THEY were there excited me, but at the same time hurt me. Not knowing why they came, or for that matter, if they were even there for me or not, confusing me and sending chills through my body.

"I knew that as soon as you started the song there was another presence among us," Kevin mentioned,

"There's something that I don't like about 'The Stiff One'."

As soon as he said 'The Stiff One', I knew he was talking about Jasper; he always was tense especially when I was around as a human. Josh was starting to get very defensive, and it reminded me of Emmett and how he was always joking around with me, but if something was wrong he was there to protect me or comfort me. Again a shot of pain waved through my body and when Molly said that it was time to go on again, my mind started racing and I didn't know what do to about THEM. I knew that if I thought about ANY of them during the song, everything would get twisted and slurred, my mind would go blank and I would forget everything. I quickly pulled myself together and just as I was getting ready to walk onto stage, Kevin nailed me with a dart gun in my back.

"YOU NAILED HER BRO!!! How did you catch her THAT off guard?!?!" Yelled Chris.

Kevin replied,

"55 years later and I FINALLY got her!! Yes!!!"

I turned around to find Chris, Kevin and the one I had least expected, Josh, all high fiving each other. I told him that he would pay for it later but right now I had a show to do. Chris nudged me in the back and whispered

"MOVE WOMAN, its show time!!!"

As I made my way onto the stage with Chris shortly behind me, I found myself wondering how I could repay Kevin. I mean he's NEVER gotten me since I joined their family.

I sang the second song with a surprisingly different kind of happiness, I couldn't quite describe the feeling, maybe it was because I had finally felt complete as if I could disappear and it wouldn't matter because everyone was ready for my departure. Maybe, just maybe, I could go out by myself and live on my own. I mean the Cullens and the Kirks had taught me a lot, and I WAS a 55 year old vampire. Nobody could get in my head and see my thoughts for some reason or another I never found out why and didn't want to, so that would help me defend myself.

As I sat behind the curtain awaiting to hear what the rest of my crew had to say about the song, I began to think about if I should approach him, or if I should wait for him to approach me. Just then one of my brothers appeared in front of me, making me fall off the couch. As I stumbled to get up, with Chris and Josh helping me along the way, Kevin was near death on the floor, just from laughter. After I got up, I offered him a hand while the guys just stood back and watched, and to my surprise he took it. So I took the opportunity and flung him across the room and he ended up crashing into a wall, thank God he didn't make a hole. If anything broke we would be paying for it. He landed with a thud and was surprised that I could do that, but what he didn't know was that I was also shocked that I had the strength for that as well.

All 3 of the boys stopped laughing and collected themselves in order to go onto stage again. I couldn't sing this song because; this song was here before I was. It was one on my favorite songs that the band had ever made, even though I couldn't sing it. So while I was waiting patiently for them to start, and finish, I thought of everything I had wanted to say to him and everything that I had ever wanted to do with him. None of us, the band, had had sex with one another let alone another person. Although I remember Kevin saying something about Chris while we were hunting, to the effect of 'He used to have a girl, wonder how far he went with her???' I looked at my cell phone and the time read 11:47pm already, just 13 minutes until we are done with the show and can pack up and leave. Hopefully it will go quick and without Edward saying something, because honestly I didn't want to talk to him. Not today, not tomorrow, but maybe in about a month or two. Thinking his name felt different, I hadn't actually said or thought about his name in a while now, yea I thought about him, but never rely brought myself to say or think his name. Now that I've thought it, anger filled me, instead of the love and longing that normally filled me when I thought about it. He had changed, not physically no because we couldn't really change in that sense, but the way I thought about him had and that was just as bad if not worse than him changing himself mentally.

I still love him, I think. I'm not quite sure; he left me so many years ago and had caused so much pain. It had been my brothers who helped me get over him. If not for them I would have gone mad and more than likely I would have ended up in a ball, dry sobbing.

"Bella?" Josh said making me jump,

"Are you ready?"
No, I thought "Yup!" I lied "Let's go!"

I walked on to the stage standing next to Josh ready to start the last song. I looked at Edward and as I did rage filled up inside of me, then I thought of what Josh might do if he had seen the look on my face. He would know why it was there and more than likely try to rip Edward's arm off or something. The picture filled my mind and I suppressed a laugh. Josh started the song and before I knew it, it was my turn; I closed my eyes as the song came out of me, letting me feel the power behind the words of the song. Josh then joined me for the rest of the song. As we sang I realized how many things needed to be explained and out in the open. The song was over and we all bowed and ran off stage.

"Bella dude, you were so good!" Kevin said as we got back stage,

"I have never heard you sing like that." Kevin kept on going about how well I did but I tuned him out. I knew what was coming, and it was not going to be pretty.
"Hello, earth to Bella!!!" Chris was waving his hand in front of my face,

"Is anyone home?"
"Oh yeah sorry, what did u say?" I mumbled
Chris sighed

"Are we going to go talk to them?"
"Like hell we are!" Josh Shouted,

"She is not getting anywhere near them!"

"Josh don't you think they should get a chance to explain them self to her?" Chris asked then he turned to me,

"I think you should talk to them." I opened my mouth to say no, where there was a knock at the door,

"Bella…?" The voice called from behind the door.

Don't forget to vote on my page for who you think Bella should end up with. Again sorry I haven't updated this in a while. Review please!
