Disclaimer: I still don't own Twilight or the songs I mention
Back in the past :) the songs I used are from the movie If I Stay. There is a fictional rock band and I really like their songs. I'll link the songs at the end. Enjoy :)
'Guys, you have to be on stage in 15!'
Alice shouted coming to the back stage through the thick red curtains in the big theatre hall of forks high.
Today was the annual christmas party and Alice was one of the organizers.
With the clipboard in her hands and the headset on her head, she looked so out of place.
'Ali, are all those things necessary? You look insane. No one needs this stuff in this small school.' Edward laughed.
'Shut up dumbass.' She slapped his arm
'Someone has to take care of everything and so far I'm the only person capable of organising an event. I'll tell you, nothing would work without me. So where is your singer?'
Alice took a look on her watch. 'She has 10 minutes.'
She turned on her heels heading back to the dance floor.
'Jessica! I told you no pinjatas! This isn't any children's birthday!'
'Has anyone seen Bella?' Edward asked his band mates.
Everyone shrugged their shoulders and they looked around the backstage area. Tonight was the first gig with the whole group. They were all excited and practiced everyday for almost a month. Bella was really nervous these last days. All the encouragement of Edward and the other boys was helpless. Bella was really talented but her stage fright was a real problem. They already refused some requests of town events or the band had to perform without her. But they only sounded good with her and Edward together. Their voices were the perfect harmony and they communicated without speaking so they could act impulsive when one of the guys gambled the melody away or someone forgot a part.
'I'll go and check the bathroom.' Edward headed out and into the hallway.
He opened the door to the lady's room. Sitting in the back corner was Bella. She rocked back and forth whispering unintelligible words. She had her arms around her knees which she had pulled tight to her body. Her forehead rested on her arms. Edward knelt down in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders.
'Sshh, Bella. Everything will be fine. Don't be scared... You can do that!'
She looked up he could see the fear in her chocolate brown eyes.
'But if I screw up it will reflect bad on all of you!' Edward sighed. They had this conversation over and over again.
'And if you don't? Bella, sometimes you have to overcome fear to experience something special and exciting! I know you love to sing and you enjoy it. Believe me, tonight will be so much fun!'
'But..'
'No buts' he interrupted.
'You promised me, you would try. Please, do it ... for me?' Edward looked at her with a big pout and puppy eyes.
With a heavy sigh, Bella pushed herself off the ground and straightened her outfit.
'I hate when you do this puppy face!'
'Only because you can't resist my cute eyes.' He fluttered with his eyelashes.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 'Ok let's do it.'
Edward hugged her. 'Thank you. You won't regret it' he whispered in her ear and a shiver run down her back.
'Edward! On the stage, NOW!' Alice shouted through the hallway.
Each member took his place on the stage and Edward gave Alice the sign to open the curtains. the audience was already waiting eagerly and went wild with excitement.
'Hi guys, we're the band of forks high and we will rock your night! Have fun!' Edward spoke through the microphone.
He looked at Jasper who held his drumsticks over his head.
'One, two, three.'
He began to play, followed by Mike and Eric. Edward took his microphone and looked at Bella, who blushed immediately and looked on the ground. For a second he thought, that she couldn't handle it but then she looked up and nodded. He smiled and
started to sing.
I was lookin' for somethin' to sink my teeth into
I didn't know what I wanted,
But now I do
Bella danced to the beat and joined Edward.
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
I was a head-to-toe dressed up in other stuff
Now I know my other clothes ain't good enough
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
You make it looks so good 'cause you know what's up
You know exactly what to, yeah
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me, uh
I was a looking for somethin' to sink my teeth into
I didn't know what I wanted,
I never do
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
You make it look so good 'cause you know what's up
You know exactly what to, yeah!
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
I want what you have,
I want what you have now
Give it to me
After the last tone died out, the people applauded and cheered. Bella and Edward smiled like idiots, breathing heavily. Edward gave Bella the told-you-so look but Bella just rolled her eyes showing him the finger. He answered her by blowing her a kiss.
'Are you ready for more?' Edward shouted. Immediately the next song started.
I've gotta say I'm feeling better than I should
Don't got a lot but I know life is always good
Oh, come on over, bring some friends, we'll have a time
Don't got a lot but right now I'm feeling fine
So many people rushing back and forth to work
So many people walk around all faced and hurt
Let's have a drink, let's cut it loose, let it unwind
Someday we'll be looking back knowing we did it right
We got tonight
We got tonight
Forever yours, forever mine
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling high
I'm feeling like I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
So tell me now
Are you in or are you not?
I don't wanna rule the world
I just wanna sit on top
Let's raise your glasses to the best and to the worst
Here's to the feeling that you just can't put to words
Now everyone's leaving and you're wondering what to do
Now everyone's leaving
It's only me and you
You lean in close and whisper somethin' in my ear
When I'm with you, my girl
I don't know any fear
We got tonight
We got tonight
Forever yours, forever mine
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling high
I'm feeling like I'm never...
We got tonight
We got tonight
Forever yours, forever mine
I'm feeling good
I'm feeling high
I'm feeling like I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
I'm never coming down
Bella felt so good. Seeing the crowd and the band having so much fun made her so happy. She lost her shyness and even played with the audience. This night was a big success.
After hours of performing the band said their goodbye, exhausted from all the adrenaline. Backstage they had a big group hug.
'Great job, guys. We really rocked!' Jasper smiled to all of them.
They all started packing up the stuff back into their rehearsal room. After 30 minutes everything was back in its place and Edward locked the room.
Bella waited outside, leaning on his Volvo. He came to her giving her a big hug.
'You were amazing tonight!'
'Thanks Edward. Especially for your help. without you, I would've never gone on the stage. It was incredible and so much fun!' She beamed and it made his heart jump to see her so happy and frisky.
'No problem, Bells. You know, I'd do anything for you.' He winked and she blushed immediately.
'Let's get you home before I need my bulletproof vest for bringing you home so late' Edward said laughing.
They drove to Bella house in silence. After dropping her off, he waited a few minutes, watching her entering the house. Before she closed the door, she turned back and have Edward a little wave. He smiled and waved back.
His phone buzzed in his pocket. It was a text from Alice.
When will you finally tell her, that you love her, twin? A
He rolled his eyes. Alice was one of a kind.
But Alice was right, he had to tell her ... rather sooner than later.
