After we ran throw the set for tonight me and Carlisle left the house. We were in the car when he said "I don't like the idea of you being blonde. I don't think that it'll work for you."
"You were listening."
"What did you actually expect me not to."
"No, but your wrong. I'll so you." I said before I reached in the back and grabbed the box that held my wig. I pulled it out and placed it on my head.
"You're still beautiful. I guess I just prefer brunettes." He smiled as he looked at me. His smile made me forget that Edward used to say the same things. There's a difference though I can tell Carlisle really means it, with Edward I could never be sure. Then after a minute Carlisle said "You know maybe its better you wear it. I don't want other guys to see you the way I see you." I laughed quietly and looked out the window. That's when I noticed we weren't heading to Charlie's.
"Where are we going?" I asked as we passed the sign saying 'You Are Now Leaving Forks, WA.'
"There's a friend of mine in Port Angeles. He runs a record company. So, you might want to keep that wig on Bella."
"I go by Alexandria when I perform."
"Okay, then Alexandria." I just looked at him for a minute before I went back to looking out the window. It wasn't that long before he parked the car. Stupid vampires and the need to drive 110 mph. As we got out of the car, I noticed that I had been here before.
"I've been here before." I said as I shut the door.
A second he was in front of me saying "I know Angela told me all about the CD today. That's when I got the idea to have you meet James. If he likes you, you'll have a CD of shelves in no time at all."
"Carlisle, I not sure if I can do this."
"Bella, listen to me. You can do anything you put your mind to and I'll be here with you every step of the way." He waited a minute before he kissed me and whispered "I love you" I wasn't sure if I was supposed to hear that, but it was then at that moment that I realized I loved him too. This is so wrong I'm not supposed to feel this way. Hell, I dated he's son. Yet, this feels so right. I don't know what to do. I think I'm in love with Carlisle Cullen. Oh boy, what have I got myself into? "Let's get going." He said.
"Yeah, that way I'll have time to get ready for the gig." I said as we started walking. I was almost to the door when he grabbed my hand to show that he was with me. I didn't let go; I never wanted to. So, we walked in hand in hand. I quickly noticed the studio manager, Mr. Montgomery was his name, was walking towards us.
"Carlisle, it's nice to see you again." He said as he shook Carlisle hand.
"Same to you James, it's been to long." Carlisle said.
"So, is the future superstar you were talking about?" He asked as he looked at me.
"Yes, this is Alexandria."
"Nice to meet you Alexandria." James said to me as he shook my hand.
"It's nice to meet you to, but please call me Alex." I replied politely.
"Okay, Alex let's go in my office and talk about you're career." He said as he led us to his office. Carlisle and I sat opposite to him.
"Well, first things first let's hear you sing."
"Okay." I said as
I tired to think of a song I had memorized. I quickly thought of one
written after Edward left. I started to sing "Did
you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything
you ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me?
Did
you regret (did you regret)
Ever standing by my side
Did you
forget (did you forget)
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm
left
To forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We
were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget
it
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you
regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't
forget
Don't forget
We had it all
We were just about to
fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I
won't forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We
were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget
it
Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our
love is like a song
You can't forget it
And at last
All
the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson
that we've learned
I won't forget it
Please don't forget
About
us
But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But
you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us" (A/N:
Demi Lovato, Don't Forget).
I looked to find the opinions of both James and Carlisle.
"Wow that was great. Did you write that song? I don't think I've heard it before." James replied.
"I did write it. I only sing songs that I wrote." I said shyly.
"Even better, people love that. I'll have to the contracts drawn up. We can have a CD out by Valentine's day." He replied.
"That's not that long away." I said.
"The sooner the better. We'll also have to promote the hell out of this CD. You'll be a star in no time." James said before he picked up the phone and told someone to get something.
"We have to get going." Carlisle said.
"Can you come back tomorrow?" James asked.
"Yes, we can. If you want to hear more she'll be there tonight." Carlisle said as he took at a piece of paper that he had written the time and place for tonight.
"I'll be there." James said before we left.
Later on as I got ready for the gig, Carlisle sat in my room reading over some of my songs. It took forever for me to pick an outfit. I finally arrived on a pair of ripped jeans, a black and white stripped v-neck shirt, a black leather jacket, with a black top hat and combat boots. I walked in my room and asked Carlisle "What do you think?"
"You look unbelievably great." Yeah right.
"Well we better be going if we're going to make it in time. We're cutting it close even with you're crazy driving." I said.
"I guess you're right. Let's go." Carlisle said as he walked out of the room. I hurried down stairs and quickly wrote Charlie a note.
Dad,
I'm going to be in Port Angeles. There's money for pizza on the counter. I'll be back late, so don't wait up.
Bella
Before Carlisle started the car he turned to me and said "You're going to do great. I'll be there with you."
"I know that."
"Do you know that I love you?"
"Yes." I answered before he kissed me.
After that he started the car and said "Let's get this show on the road."
We made to the club just in time. The band was all set up and ready to go on.
"What took so long?" Angela asked as she pulled me back stage.
"Couldn't find an outfit I liked."
"Well, you look awesome. Now, get out there and rock." She said as the announcer welcomed us to the stage.
With
in seconds they guys started playing. I knew the song well it was
about for my feeling for Edward. I started to sing "Life is good I
can't complain
I mean I could but no one's listening
Your image
overwhelms my brain
And it feels good, good, good
Now I'm
rolling my window down
I love the wind but I hate the sound
You're
like a tattoo that I can't remove
And it feels good, it feels
good, it feels good
Like a roller coaster ride
Holding on
white knuckles like
Whoa, whoa
Can't believe I'm like
Whoa,
whoa
[Got me feeling like]
Up and down and side to side
Every
inch of me is like
Whoa, whoa
Got me feeling like
Whoa,
whoa
[Got me feeling like]
In the morning it begins
again
Feels like I'm falling better strap me in
I think I'm
running out of oxygen
And it feels good, it feels good, it feels
good
Like a roller coaster ride
Holding on white knuckles
like
Whoa, whoa
Can't believe I'm like
Whoa, whoa
[Got
me feeling like]
Up and down and side to side
Every inch of me
is like
Whoa, whoa
Got me feeling like
Whoa, whoa
[Got me
feeling like]
My inhibition are beginning to let go
This
situation I can't help but lose control
You're an affliction that
I cannot seem to break
It feels good, it feels good
I'm
holdin' on
Holdin', holdin', holdin', holdin', holdin'
Holdin'...
I'm holdin' on
Like a roller coaster ride
Like I'm runnin'
a red light
Like a rocket ship in flight
Every inch of me is
like
WHOA...
Like a roller coaster
Whoa
Holdin' on
white knuckles
Whoa
Once you let your love in
Whoa
Every
inch of me is like
Whoa" (A/N:
Like Whoa, Aly & AJ).
The crowd cheered. I know that would happen. We've played here
before and that was always a favorite. The music faded into a
different song. This one was about Edward to, but it was after he
left. I started to sing "Don't matter what people say
I never
did believe them
I know, I know they know everything
I'll
be alright by myself
And no one's gonna tell me I'm
defined
Confined by love
Now our days seem strange
I
guess my heart was bound to change
I fell out, out of you and
me
You're fading from view
And you're falling into history
I
fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view
And you're
falling into history
I never thought that I'd say
That I
don't really miss you
I lived, I breathed your breath through
me
Time has a way of passing by
Until I don't remember why
Or how to hurt for you
Love's pain has gone somewhere
And
I'm finally hanging it there
I fell out, out of you and
me
You're fading from view
And you're falling into history
I
fell out, out of you and me
You're fading from view
And you're
falling into history
Falling into,
Falling into,
You're
falling into history
I fell out, out of you and me
You're
fading from view
And you're falling into history
I fell out,
out of you and me
You're fading from view
And you're falling
into history
I'll be alright by myself
And no one's gonna
tell me I'm defined
Confined by love" (A/N:
Brie Larson, Falling Into History).
Before the song started Logan said "This song is meant for all of you who have someone they need to forget.
The
music started and I replied "Every girl needs a pair of red high
heels." Then I started to sing "Baby I've got plans tonight
You don't know nothin' about
I've been sitting around
way too long
Trying to figure you out
But you say that you'll
call and you don't
And I'm spinning my wheels
So I'm
going out tonight
In my red high heels
I'm gonna call
up that old boyfriend
You said still has it bad for me
I'm
gonna take him into town
Flaunt him around for everyone to see
Well you said watch yourself, baby
You know the deal
Nobody
holds a candle to me
In my red high heels
Oh you can
watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back
now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just how
missin' me feels
In my red high heels
All those games
you tried to play
Well they aint gonna work on me now
I put a
barbed wire fence
Around my heart
Baby just to keep you out
Well you thought I'd wait around forever
But baby get real
I just kicked you to the curb
In my red high heels
Oh
you can watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want
me back now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just
how missin' me feels
In my red high heels
Oh you can
watch me walk if you want to, want to
I'll bet you want me back
now don't you, don't you
I'm about to show you just how
missing me feels
Oh you can watch me walk if you want to, want
to
I'll bet you want me back now don't you, don't you
I'm
about to show you just how missing me feels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels
In my red high heels" (A/N:
Kellie Pickler, Red High Heels).
The next song was also about Edward, of course. It's very old, but
then again it's really good. I started to sing "I don't think
that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me
about his night
And I count the colors 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 don't think it
ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I
know all his favorite songs
And I could tell you
His
favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Born on the
seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And
if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
He looks around the
room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go
on
Doesn't he know
That I've had him memorized for so long
He
sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I
don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine
I could tell
you
His favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Born on the
seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And
if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
He stands
there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding
every breath for you
He'd never tell you,
But he can play
guitar
I think he can see through
Everything but my heart
First
thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my
make-up
And pray for a miracle
Yes I could tell you
His
favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Oh, and it kills
me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if
you ask me if I love him...
If you ask me if I love him...
I'd
lie" (A/N:
I'd Lie, Taylor Swift).
The next song was newer I wrote it when I tried dating again, after
Edward left. The song started "He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I
need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He
opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look
beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss
screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and
I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And
that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's
a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that
much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he
will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
But I
miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am
and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming
undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I
could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He
can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause
I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just
so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake
and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I
acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and
coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never
knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could
feel that much
And that's the way I loved you" (A/N:
Taylor Swift, The Way I Loved You).
The last song of the night started to play when I spotted Carlisle
and James in the crowd. I smiled at them then started to sing "Say
you're sorry
That face of an angel
Comes out just when you need
it to
And I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly
believed in you
Holding on
And days drag on
Stupid girl,
I
should have known, I should have known
[Chorus]
That I'm
not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you sweep
off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
this is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me
down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come
around
Baby I was naive,
Got lost in your eyes
And
never really had a chance
I had so many dreams
About you and
me
Happy endings
Now I know
[Chorus]
I'm not a
princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you sweep off
her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this
is a small town,
I was a dreamer before you went and let me
down
Now it's too late for you
And your white horse, to come
around
Here you are your sitting there
Begging for
forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm sooo
sorry
Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm
gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This
is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror
disappearing now
Now it's too late for you and your white
horse
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me
now
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's
too late
To catch me now" (A/N:
Taylor Swift, White Horse).
"Thank you for having us here." I said before we left the stage.
"Bella, that was awesome." Angela said as she hugged me.
"Thanks."
"Anyways, who is Carlisle talking to?" She asked.
"A friend of his that wants to give me a record deal." I answered.
"No way."
"Way."
"Oh My God That's Great!" She yelled.
"I know."
"Wait is he offering this to Bella or Alex?"
"Alex."
"You'll be a real life Hannah Montana."
"True."
