(A/N) Hello everyone,

how have you been? Me and my Beta have been extremely busy! With drinking ;)

Ningo just kidding. If you haven't noticed already my beta and me know each other personally. We are actually very good friends and sometimes we don't have time to write, because we're watch movies or enyoing the spring sun. Just the other week we had a ''Lord of the Rings'' marathon. Yes, we are nerds.

Anyway I digress, hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think.

P.S.

(A quote that I love)

Chapter 3

Bpov.

I was dreaming when an irritating sound woke me up. Opening my eyes I looked around to see what interrupted my sleep. My eyes landed on my phone. I glared at it. Who knows, maybe it will stop if I glare really really hard. But no such luck. "Hello, this is Bella.'' I said with a groggy voice. "Bella, this is Alice! How are you?'' I know that voice. Alice, Alice, I don't know an Alice... The only Alice I know is Alice Brandon the pop star, but why would she be calling me? "Bella you there?'' Ow shit, The Voice. I thought maybe I had imagined it. "Yeah, sorry Alice, not really awake yet. I'm great and you?'' Alice giggled. " I'm excellent, sorry that I woke you. I just wanted to say that I'm so happy that you're on my team. We're going to do great things together, I just know it.'' I looked at the clock and it was 7 in the morning! How the hell could this woman be so cheerful this early in the morning! I mean damn, there is such a thing as too happy in the morning. "Alice, are you always this happy in the morning?'' I asked. "Uhm let me think... Yeah, I'm always this happy in the morning. But I actually called to set a date for the studio with you. You do know that every one who is through to the next round has to record the entire song?'' Hell yes! Recording my own song. "I remember Alice, are you going to the studio with me?''. "Of course Bella! There is a slot free the day after tomorrow at noon. Is that good for you?" "Yeah sounds good... Uhm Alice, do I need to bring anything?'' I never officially recorded a song how the hell would I know! ''Don't worry Bella, its all taken care of. You just need to bring your voice, oke?"

We said our goodbyes and hung up. I dragged myself out of bed, now that I was awake I could do something useful like workout. I looked at my workout sheet to see what was on the planning for today. Rose and I started to do Insanity a few weeks ago, and let's just say, you have to be INSANE to do it. Anyway because we're not quitters we persevered. Today on the menu was Cardio Recovery. Yeah for me. After putting the dvd in the player I started working out.

"I think you should wear something comfortable."'Rose said while looking at me. I was standing in front of my closet, deciding what to wear to my recording session. "I know that Rose, but Alice is going to be there so I have to be a little fashionable. What about my blue dress with the white ballet flats?'' I asked while holding the blue dress. "Sounds like a plan, are you nervous?'' ''A bit yes, I know the song after all but I never recorded anythimg in my life.'' "Don't worry sweetie, just relax. You know that you can do this, I have faith in you after all.'' She said with a wink.

''Bella! It's so good to see yo,u how have you been?'' Alice squealed. Hello there Alice", I've been good. How are you?"" I'm fine, of course I'm fine! I'm always fine." She grinned. "Ever been to a recording studio?" I shook my head. "Well, most people haven't so don't worry. Back here we have..." She started explaining the workings in the studio. I just stood by and let the information wash over me. It was safe to say that I was overwhelmed.

''Now Bella before we begin with recording I wanted a little chat, you know girl to girl.'' Alice said when we were in the recording booth. "You know this song. Hell, it's YOUR SONG! I just want you to channel the feeling that you had the first time you sang this song. Could you do that for me?'' I started to blush. "I guess Edward told you about that didn't he?'' She looked at me like I was crazy. "Of course he told me, Edward is like my big brother, we tell each other almost everything! But when you think about it, its quite obvious. I mean, he turned around for you. He never turned around for anybody who sang that song, and the way he looked at you spoke volumes.'' I was red as a tomato by the time she finished. "Uhm, yeah, lets just say It won't be hard channel that part of me, I remember it very well.'' Ow shit I shouldn't have said that . The way that she is looking at me, like she knew something I didn't. "I also have to warn you Bella, I like you but if you turn out to be another bitch like Tanya you'll be sorry. He deserves much better than that skanky ho who was only after his fame.''

I was taking aback. "I didn't audition so I could see Edward again. I did it to get better at singing and for the experience." I told Alice. "Seeing Edward again is just a bonus but I'm not assuming anything. It was years ago after all." "I believe you Bella, I just hope I'm not wrong.'' She said with a small smile.

After our 'chat' we started to record. According to Alice we were done in record time. She said it was probably because I wrote the damn song and 'I exactly knew what I wanted'. Afterwards we were sitting and drinking a latte macchiato at a little cafe near the studio. "So, you live here with your best friend? And what about a boyfriend, you've got one Bella?'' Alice asked. "Yeah, Rose and I have been friends since childhood and now we are living together. No boyfriend in either over our lives. Rose is too busy working and studying while I'm focusing on my career. We just haven't had time to date. How about you Alice? I've heard some rumors about you and a certain country singer.''

She blushed. "We get along great and we both like to flirt. That's it. For now." She grinned. "I'm just waiting to see how the show progresses and if that works out... Well I will make my move. But for now we are just close colleagues." We talked some more about everything and nothing, just like I would do with Rose. Talking to Alice was easy.

After our latte's we walked to my car. "You know Bella, this was fun. You are a cool chick!'' I laughed. ''Well thank you Alice! You know, Rose and I are going to get cocktails tomorrow evening, if you free you are welcome to join us.'' "Sounds good, where are you going?'' "We usually go to Kiwi but if you want to go somewhere else the choice is yours.'' "You know, I really would like to join you guys but could we go to 'Beez'? It's paparazzi free for most of the time at least.'' I nodded. "Sorry, didn't think about that. But I'm afraid Rose and I couldn't get in since we're not on the list.'' I said while turning red. "No worries Bella, I'll hook you up. Let's say 8 o'clock?'' "Sure sounds like a plan, see you there Alice!'' I got into my car and couldn't wait to tell Rose about today!

A/N: Sorry for the late update. Life has been hectic. Next chapter will come a lot sooner and will be in Epov. You will found out a lot more stuff about the "bitch" Tanya.
