A/N ok so I am really enjoying writing this story! I love country music so much and I m enjoying sharing it. So here is chapter 4.

Also I listened to the songs featured in this story as I wrote it. A slight suggestion is to do the same as you read it , it really helps for the effect.

Disclaimer the songs and characters are the original property of the people who created them my plot line and original characters belong to me.

Chapter 4 Here For the Party

Edward POV

The song ended and are voices came to slow steady hum as the final notes rang through the air. She really was beautiful, and her eyes held such depth, I was lost in them. I barley noticed the crowd's cheers and applause. I was tempted to play the song again just so I could sing with her. I sighed and tore my eyes away from hers, so that I could face the crowd.

" give it up for Bella Swan." I called exuberantly. The crowd cheered once again. She beamed at me. Before stepping closer to the mic and me in the process.

"give it up for Edward Cullen." her exuberance matched my own and with out thinking I pulled her in for a hug. She gasped but hugged me back. Her face was filled with surprise I wondered why that was. I hadn't thought of it before but I couldn't read her mind. My gift wasn't something I liked to pay attention too. My mind reading ability wasn't something I was proud of. It was unnatural and strange, but I'd had it all my life. Strange that meeting this beautiful girl would make me want to use it for once.

She broke our embrace and I was reluctant to let her go. She had this strange affect on me. I smiled softly at her.

" you were great" I spoke honestly and smiled at her. She blushed and it was beautiful.

"thanks Edward" she breathed and I was taken with the way my name left her lips. She was so familiar I felt like I had none her all my life. It was with a pang that I realized she shared the same name as my old friend. I shook my head there was no amount of luck that could bring the only girl I had ever loved into this bar on the same night that I was here. It was just too coincidental and I didn't believe in coincidence. Still I found myself wanting to get to know her, and before I could stop myself.

"Ms. Swan can I buy you a drink?"

Bella POV

"Ms. Swan can I buy you a drink?" I froze I had already asked Nick to order me a paps. What would it look like if I went over to the bar with a guy I had just met? you were just sitting in the lap of a guy you just met. What's the difference? My mental voice was so right. Shut up head. I thought dumbly. I shook my head he looked hurt and I quickly backpedaled.

"no it's not that I don't want you to" I told him as he turned and set his guitar on it's stand mine was resting on my back. He looked at me the rejection still clear in his eyes and it about broke my heart to see it.

"I do believe me but the band all ready ordered my drink." I was still back stepping hoping to get him to see that I wasn't rejecting him.

"join us for a drink and take me to breakfast?" I asked dumbly before realizing what I'd said he smiled at me and nodded the rejection had left his eyes and they were now filled with a brightness that was somehow leaving me breathless. It was then that I realized how green his eyes were. I was lost in them I never wanted to look away.

"breakfast it is." he grinned reveling perfect white teeth. I reached past him and leaned my guitar against the stand next to his. His eyes followed my movements and I blushed profusely and smiled at him.

"shall we?" he asked. I nodded and followed him off the stage. His show was over I'd gotten to sing his final song of the night with him. His band was now packing up the instruments. He didn't introduce me. But God he was amazing. As we left the stage someone had started a song on the jukebox. Gretchen Wilson's Here For The Party came blaring out over the speakers and my face lit up.

"Well I'm an eight ball shooting double fisted

Drinking son of a gun

I wear my jeans a little tight

Just to watch the little boys come undone

I'm here for the beer and the ball busting band gonna get a little crazy just because i can"

Edward grabbed my hand and spun me around. Smiling he asked.

"can I have this dance?" I grinned and blushed nodding my head.

"yeah I'd love too" he grinned at me and we came closer together as he started leading me across the dance floor.

"You know I'm here for the party

And I aint leaving till they throw me out

gonna have a little fun gonna get me some

You know I'm here, I'm here for the party"

He spun me around and we did a loose parody of the waltz mixed with a little dose doe. I found my self laughing and smiling and I enjoyed the fact that he was too. I sang along to the song as we danced. This was slowly turning into one of the best nights of my life. I never wanted it to end.

"I may not be a ten but the boys say I clean up good

And if I rowdy romance you know they would

I've been waiting all week just to have a good time

So bring on them cowboys and their pick up lines"

"You know I'm here for the party And I aint

leaving till they throw me out

gonna have a little fun gonna get me some

You know, I'm here for the party"

Alice POV

I smiled hugely as I watched Edward and the girl Bella on stage the way they sang together was beautiful. When the song ended and he asked to buy her a drink I all but fell out of my chair. If Jasper hadn't grabbed me around the waste I'd have fallen. When she refused him I got a bit annoyed it was clear as day from all the way over here that he was taken with her. I couldn't tell what she said to him but the next thing I knew the two were smiling and dancing. He had been the odd man out for so long it was nice to see him take interest in someone.

"Jazzy?" I asked he smiled down at me. " yeah Ali?" his Texan accent made me melt.

I stood up and pulled him with me.

"Dance with me" he smiled and I led him to the floor. Carlisle and Esme followed smiling at each other and I purposely led our group to where Edward and Bella were dancing.

"Edward" I called as we approached. He looked over at us a huge smile still plastered on his face.

Bella turned to look at us as well she was smiling a slight blush coloring her cheeks.

"Alice" Edward murmured in greeting. He turned back to Bella.

"Bella this is my family. My sister Alice" Bella smiled.

"it's good to meet you." she murmured and stuck out here hand.

"it's good to meet you too. You guys were amazing on stage." she blushed

"thanks" I smiled at her she seemed nice.

"oh this is my husband Jasper." she looked to Jasper and smiled shyly. Before extending her hand to him as well.

"Pleasure meeting you Bella" he was smiling and I could tell that he'd picked up on Bella's emotions.

"your from Texas?" she asked. As the conversation continued I drifted out. Not purposely but, I'd seen this night coming for a while but I hadn't told Edward. I'll bet your wondering how I would have seen this night coming and how Jasper can feel Bella's emotions. Well it's simple were special. For as long as I can remember I have been able to see the future according to the decisions a person makes. Some would call me a witch but I m not I m something else I can't tell you what though. I don't know myself. It's the same for Jasper we just have odd gifts. Edward can read minds. But he tries to ignore it he doesn't want to be considered a freak. He hears us but wont admit it to himself at least not anymore. Not since he became famous. He shuns the thing that makes him who he is. Carlisle and Esme have the amazing gift to love unconditionally. Our brother Emmett is unnaturally strong and his wife Rosalie is well for lack of better wording beautiful and pigheaded. She has a good heart though even if she doesn't always show it. I sighed inwardly before turning my attention back to the present time and place. I'd missed Edward's introduction of our parents. They were now discussing were to go for an early breakfast it was almost one am, apparently we were all going. I stiffened as I had a vision of us going to the small restaurant down the street.

"lets go to Kelley's down the street." I suggested effectively rejoining the conversation. All eyes fell on me and I smiled as though I didn't notice. My family was used to my antics by now, but poor Bella just looked confused.

"so are we going now then?" I asked as though no weirdness had just occurred.

Bella smiled apologetically.

"sorry um a few minutes I gotta say good by to the band. Oh and Edward was going to join me for drink." she looked sheepishly at Edward who simply smiled at her and laughed quietly.

"I did say I would." he confirmed.

"join us?" he asked.

We nodded and headed towards Bella's band of friends.

Bella POV

I hadn't been expecting to meet Edwards family in the same night that I met him I was a bit overwhelmed. I guided the Cullen's over to where my friends were sitting.

"Hey guys I hope you ordered me a drink." I murmured jokingly. Nick handed me the cold brown bottle and I took a swig. It was then that I noticed Nick staring. I then realized that I was still holding Edwards hand. What was his deal yeah he was cute but I just met him. So why does he look so jealous because your standing so close to Edward. And you just met him too but its not weird wonder why that is? my mental voice was again right and mentally told myself to shut the hell up. It was strange though I felt like I had met Edward before, but I couldn't place it. I looked at him he was still smiling he seemed at ease holding my hand and that's when it hit me.

"Calgary, Georgia" I murmured looking at him. He turned to me in surprise.

"what did you say?" he asked he was confused it made his brow crinkle cutely. I shook my head.

"Calgary, Georgia" I repeated. " it's where I grew up." he looked at me oddly, before smiling.

"I knew you were familiar." he beamed at me and pulled me in for a hug.

" God Bella it's been years." I nodded and he released me. I repressed a moan I liked when he touched me way to much. I couldn't believe it was him. His family farm had been right next to mine we hung out when we were kids I had a crush on him. He inspired so many songs that I had written.

"the last time I saw you was when were, were thirteen." I murmured. He smiled but there was a sadness in his eyes. That's when it hit me and I remembered what had happened the reason we hadn't seen each other in so long his family looked confused.

"you two know each other I thought you just met?" his sister Alice asked she looked confused. Edward turned to look at her a goofy grin still on his face.

"Calgary, Georgia Alice think about it." he told her before looking back at me. Alice let out a yelp.

"oh my god. You two were neighbors she's the one you told us about." I froze he talked abut me?

"you talked about me/" I asked stupidly I heard Angela laugh.

I looked over at her and the guys who were staring with confused looks at us.

"of course he did Bella you two were inseparable when were little. I m surprised it took you this long to recognize each other." I glared at her which made everyone including the Cullen's laugh, which I joined in after a minute. I felt better than I had in a long time. I never really realized how much I had missed him. He was my rock when Sky died and when he left I felt lost. Then Charlie died and I was hopeless inside. If it weren't for Ange and my music I'd have never made it this far. I guess I just blocked it al out. It was then that I remembered what I never got the chance to tell him.

"Edward I m sorry." he looked at me grasping my hand once more.

"what the hell do you have to be sorry for?" he asked smiling crookedly at me.

"I never got to tell you that I was sorry for your parents." he stared at me. His mouth hanging open his eyes held sadness. He shook his head.

"it's okay Bella" I stared at him. I nodded once realizing he didn't want to talk about it. So I let the subject drop.

"so how about that breakfast?" I asked with a shaky laugh. He smiled and thanked me with his eyes. Rubbing his stomach at the same time.

" I am pretty hungry." he joked and I rolled my eyes how easily we slipped back in to our old ways. I turned to the band, I had half a beer left and quickly finished it.

"you guys want to join us?" I asked only half hopeful that they'd say yes.

Angela shook her head.

"I m gonna go home and crash I have class in the morning." I nodded and pulled my truck keys out of my pocket. I tossed them to her.

"take the truck I m sure I can find another way back to the apartment." she smiled at me and nodded before saying her goodbyes and heading out.

I looked to the guys eyebrows raised "what about you guys?" Nick shook his head.

"I m heading out too gotta work tomorrow." He handed me a folded napkin.

" this is mine Alec's Luke's and Beau's numbers give us a call or text us when you want to meet to start discussing band stuff." he left after that. He seemed so nice when we first met earlier in the night, but right then he seemed right cold, and for some unknown reason his stiff attitude bugged me. I turned my gaze to the other three guys still at the table.

"we'd like to Bells but we have to work early tomorrow too." It seemed like he really wanted too. So I nodded.

"that's all right see you later then." with that I let Edward and his family lead me out of the bar.

OK please review I want to know what you think!
