*Waves excitedly* Hi, guys! I have a new story. It's something that I've been thinking about for a while now and today I somehow got the idea to stick and wrote it out. Seriously, I've been up since 9AM yesterday working on this and have fifteen chapters prewritten. So, yeah, I'M excited to see what you guys think.
Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns the Twilight cast and crew, The songs: Turn it off, Paramore. Treacherous by Taylor Swift.
ALSO, Breaking Twilight now has a banner. It was made by the amazing missrebecca. I just love it, what do you guys think? (A bigger version will be on my polyvore later.)
Bella
"Do you see my dad?" I asked, nervously.
"Yeah, he just arrived with Sue. They're having a beer at the bar," Angela said.
I peered over her shoulder and found my dad just where she said he would be.
"Okay, I'll be right back."
"You're on in five," she reminded me.
I nodded and headed over to my dad.
He sat next to a small woman with tan skin and long black hair. She reminded me a lot of Leah and Seth.
"Bells!" Dad jumped up from his stool and gave me a hug. "Bella, I'd like you to meet Sue. Sue, this is my Bella."
Sue stood up and pulled me into a hug, "I've heard so much about you, Bella. It's nice to finally meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too," I said. "I'm glad you two could come down for tonight's show."
"Wouldn't miss it for the world,"
"You're dad informed everyone at the station about it this morning," Sue said, causing my dad to blush. "In fact, I think quite a few came down. I know Mark and his wife, Sage, did."
I smiled at my dad, whom was still blushing, "Thank you for spreading the word."
"Anything for you, baby girl."
"Three minutes," Edward breathed into my ear.
I nodded, "Hold on a second. Dad, this is Edward, he plays the keyboard and occasionally sings. Edward, this is my Dad, Charlie, and his girlfriend, Sue."
"I've met Sue," Edward said. "It's good to meet you, sir."
"You too," Dad said, giving Edward a hard stare.
"O-kay," I laughed, pushing Edward away. "Let's get this show on the road."
"Good idea."
Edward and I headed up on stage and got ready.
"How do I look?" I asked them. Them being Edward, Emmett, Jake, and Jasper.
Tonight I was wearing a simple black sweetheart neckline dress with a caged front. I also wore heels tonight's instead of flats like the last time. My hair was wavy and cascading around my face and my make up was smoky and hopefully sexy.
"Great."
"Fantastic."
"Thanks," I breathed. "Let's do this!"
We started off our evening with an original song written by Edward. I thought 'Monster' was my favorite well that was before I heard 'Turn it off'. I fell in love with the song because it was so true, I could relate.
"I scraped my knees while I was praying, and found a demon in my safest haven. Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts. I wanna know what I'd be like, to find perfection in my pride, to see nothing in the light. Or turn it off, in all my spite...in all my spite...I'll turn it off..."
Edward may seem like an ass at times but he can be very deep when it comes to song writing. I knew the feeling too. When you feel like you have to be strong for everyone, that's when I took to writing songs. I'd let the truth seep into the lyrics and feel better when I finished.
"And the worst part is before it gets any better, we're headed for a cliff. And in the free fall, I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom..."
The second song we played was monster then we followed that with a couple of covers and then we took a break. I hung out with my dad at the bar and drank, only water tonight. No need to have a repeat of last weekend.
My dad was proud of me, said I sounded and looked beautiful.
I was hit on a couple times but the icy glares my father gave them made them scurry the other way.
When we went back to play, we played a few more covers and then a song that I had written, long before I had met Edward. It was a slower song, which was why we chose to end with it.
"Two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will get you, get you alone. Your name has echoed through my mind and I just think you should know. That nothing safe is worth the drive..."
I caught Edward staring at me a couple times during my song. Even when I wasn't looking at him, I could feel his gaze on me. I don't know why but it made me feel like a live wire.
Weird...
I finished out my song and bowed when they started to clap and whistle.
My first full show and I feel great.
"Celebration time!" Emmett boomed.
"Do you celebrate after every gig?" I asked.
"Hell yeah."
"I think I'll sit this one out," I said, glancing at Edward.
"Suit yourself."
The boys headed to the bar, grabbed drinks, and stalked out tonight's pray while Edward and I were left to pack up the equipment.
"You did good," Edward said. "You totally transformed as soon as we started playing."
"Music can do that to you," I shrugged. "And getting on stage...it's such a rush."
I looked up to find Edward grinning at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he shrugged it off and packed up the guitars. "You sure you don't want a drink?"
"I'm good."
"Oh, come on," he laughed, nudging me. "Don't you want a repeat of last weekend?"
"Nope, I'm perfectly content only sleeping with you once."
Edward disappeared once we reached my dad. I saw him a couple feet away talking to a few girls and looked away. Well, that was fast.
Although, who in their right mind would turn down Edward Cullen? Oh, yeah, I would.
I wonder if his earlier comment was an invitation to sle...No, Bella. Stop.
"You were made for the stage," Dad told me.
"I think so too."
"I told you, you should've tried to get into Julliard, I know they would've accepted you."
"Yeah, well..." I didn't tell him this but I didn't want to be too far away from home. My dad puts his life on the line daily for the good people of Forks. And though nothing major really happens there, you never know when his life will end.
I know it's stupid to live with that fear, we all die, right? I just don't want to regret not spending any time with him if something like that were to happen.
"Hey, do you and Sue want to join me for a late dinner?" I asked, steering the conversation away from Julliard.
"Sue?" Dad asked.
"Sure, I'm starving."
"Great, let me just say goodbye and we can go." I searched out Angela and found her and Ben making out like two horny teenagers. I said my goodbyes and went to find my band. Jake had disappeared, as had Emmett, and I caught sight of Edward leaving with some blonde-haired girl so the only one still there was Jasper. I said goodnight to him and then left with my father and Sue.
Bella's outfits are posted on Polyvore.
Also, I have about nineteen chapters of this story prewritten so far, I wrote this story in a day. At first, I had a drabble in mind but I kept going over so I just thought I'd do short chapters and update almost everyday.
Again, I want to say that there will be time jumps. I'll try to make it flow as naturally as possible but all this was added after I had prewritten chapters that would be set waaaaaaaaaaay in the future. So, yeah.
If you review, I'll post another chapter or two tonight... PLEASE REVIEW, I Love hearing what you think :D
