Chapter 4

We spent about an hour getting ready- or rather, Ali and Rose spent an hour getting me and themselves ready. I just stood there, bored as always when they played Bella Barbie.

Finally we were done, and as we called goodbye to Alice's parents we made our way to Alice's yellow Porsche and sped off to the gig.

When we got there, we were a bit early, and Jasper, Alice's crush and drummer in Edward's band waved us backstage, winking at Alice. Alice blushed crimson as she made her way daintily up the stairs, motioning us to follow her.

"10 bucks says they get together tonight" I whisper to Rose

"You're on" she says and we follow Alice up the stairs.

I saw Edward as we climbed the stairs into the back room, playing his guitar to himself in a corner.

"Hey Edward" I said as I walked over to him. I had the satisfaction of seeing his eyes almost pop out of his head as he took in my new outfit.

"Wow Bells, you look….incredible" He said smiling.

At this I brushed bright red. Nice one Bella- real smooth.

"I have to go check on my amp, can you look after my guitar?" he asked standing up

"Yeah sure whatever" I replied.

As soon as he left I started playing my new song.

I don't think this passenger seat

Has ever looked so good to me

He tells me all about his night

I count the colours in his eyes

He'll never fall in love he swears

As he runs his fingers through his hair

I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong.

And I could tell you

That his favourite colour's brown

He loves to argue

Born on the 29th

His sister's beautiful

He has his mother's eyes

And if you asked him if I loved him-

I'd lie

I didn't get chance to finish however because I started crying. Edward was never going to be mine. Why did this have to happen to me? God get a grip Bella I thought to myself as all my makeup poured down my face.

"Oh my god Bella, are you alright?" It was the one person I couldn't talk to about this "Bells, what's wrong?" said Edward.

"Um nothing, I'm fine" I sniffed, then realised I had to find Alice so I stood up suddenly and pushed the guitar into his arms and ran off to find her.

"Bella!..." he called after me, but I didn't look back at him.

I ran tripping over equipment and wires as I looked for her, and burst into a room, and found her talking to Jasper.

"Alice!" I cried, then started sobbing again.

"Bells, what's wrong baby?!" she said as she held me close to her.

"Why did this have to happen to me?" I sobbed "Why couldn't I have just fallen in love with Mike or something? Not someone as out of league and amazing as Edward. I'm such an idiot"

"Bells, look at me" Alice said sternly. I looked. "You are beautiful, and if anything you are out of Edward's league! You have to calm down, and realise how amazing you are okay?"
"Okay…."

"Good, now lets get you fixed up and out there watching the band. You'll enjoy it Bells, promise" she said, applying more mascara and lipgloss.

Once she was finished we linked arms and went out of the backrooms to the front where the stage was. I saw Edward once or twice looking bored as his friend Emmett (Rose's crush) tuned his bass, but I avoided him so I didn't have to answer awkward questions.

Suddenly, a loud chord was struck, and the crowd around us started screaming.

Jasper's voice filled the air, as Edward played drums, and Emmett played bass. Throughout the whole song, Jasper never once took his eyes off Alice, and I held her hand as she screamed with joy-

Hey girl, whats your name
I think I caught you looking my way
Do you wanna know how to get me all to your own
Weekends work the best
I'll pick the place you do the rest
Hey now don't be shy but you got to keep me in line
Love at first sight never thought it could happen to me
but you made me believe

Kidnap my heart
take me with you
Kidnap my heart
make my dreams come true
Take me away
Cause falling in love ain't very far
Not far from the start
Kidnap my heart.

Can you get me up more
Fun that I can ever dream of
Could you tie me down
Can you keep me hanging around
I don't wanna be here to keep you company
Put your hand in mine got to hold on tight for the ride
Love at first sight never thought it could happen to me
but you made me believe

Kidnap my heart
take me with you
Kidnap my heart
make my dreams come true
Take me away cause falling in love ain't very far
not far from the start
Kidnap my heart.

You've got to hold me tighter
Cause I'm a real fighter
Don't tear us apart
Love at first sight never thought it could happen to me
but you made me believe

Kidnap my heart
take me with you
Kidnap my heart
make my dreams come true
Take me away cause falling in love ain't very far
not far from the start
Kidnap my heart.

Kidnap my heart
Kidnap my heart....

As the song drew to a close, the girls in the crowd screamed and clapped, and Alice ran up to the front of the crowd. Jasper jumped off the stage, and the kissed passionately infront of all the people there. There was a silence, and then cheers, clapping and wolf whistles broke out, making them break apart and grin sheepishly.

I read Alice's lips as she whispered to Jasper "Go get 'em tiger" and with a grin he climbed back on the stage as Edward took the mike.

"Okay, this is a new song I wrote, for a special girl out there" at this all the girls in the audience screamed louder if that was possible, all hoping it was them. "So I hope you all like it, and she knows who this song is for."

EPOV

"I hope you all like it, and she knows who this song is for" I said, and then motioned for Jasper to play a soft counter on his guitar while I played the tune on top.

I looked around for Bella, and finally saw her holding hands with Alice, who nodded at me to go for it.

I focused my gaze on Bella's face, and started to sing-

She looks at me
I fake a smile so she won't see
What I want and I need
And everything that we should be

I know she's beautiful
This girl I talk about
And she's got everything
The other's have to live without

She talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
I can't even see
Anyone when she's with me

I know I'm so in love
I've finally got it right
I wonder if she knows
She's all I think about at night

She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
She's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

She walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there she goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be

I'll try and hold her tight
Give her all my love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know I'm lucky 'cause

She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
She's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put her picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight

'Cuz she's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
She's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

She's the time taken up but there's never enough
And she's all that I need to fall into
She looks at me
I fake a smile so she won't see

As in finished the final chord, cheers rang out through the room, but I only saw a glimpse of Bella's tear stained face, before she ran out through the back door.

What had I done? I had to follow her.

I whispered a few words to Jazz and he nodded, and brought a girl from the crowd to come and sing a song with Emmett. I didn't see who though, all I could think about was Bella. I jumped off the stage, and ran after her, into the night.
