BPOV:

It's Saturday, and I can't be any more excited than I already am. It's 2:00 PM now, and I have practice with the guys at four. I called Rosalie and told her about tonight and I asked her a favor.

Earlier that day:

"Hello?" Rosalie answered.

"Rosalie? Hi, I need help with something."

"What do you need help with, Bella?"

"Umm... the reason why I couldn't go with you guys to the House Of Blues tonight is because I'm going to be there performing, but you can't tell anyone."

"Okay, I promise, but what do you need help with?"

"Can you come over and help me with my hair, makeup, and outfit?"

"Of course! I'll be there in a little while."

"Okay, thanks Rosalie!"

"Sure thing, bye Bella."

We hung up the phone.

It's been one hour since I called Rosalie. I hear the doorbell ring, so I walk down the stairs and to the door to answer it.

I opened the door to find Rosalie holding a big, black briefcase.

"What's in the briefcase?" I ask her.

"Makeup and hair supplies."

I move out of the doorway so she could enter. We climbed up the stairs and walked down the hallway and into my room.

Rosalie walks into my closet. "I'll choose your outfit while you take a shower. You want an emo outfit, right?"

"Yeah…thanks!"

"Sure thing, you can ask me to help you with this sort of thing anytime."

"Okay." And with that, I walked into the bathroom with a towel to take a shower.

RPOV:

Bella walked into her bathroom to take a shower. As soon as I heard the shower being turned on, I walked into her closet again and surprisingly, there were so many choices!

For shirts, she has a "My Chemical Romance" tee, a "Nightmare Before Christmas" tee, "Rise Against" tee, "Muse" tee, "Metallica" tee, and many more.

For bottoms, she has five pairs of skinny jeans- denim, black, hot pink, white, or electric blue; six different colored mini skirts- black, red, pink, white, green, or blue; and a pair of denim shorts.

For shoes, she has seven pairs of ballet blats- white, black, blue, red, pink, green, or purple; three pairs of pumps- red, white, or black; five pairs of sandals- red, blue, white, black, or beige; and she has many other heels.

She doesn't have that many accessories; just some earrings (stubs-white, red, or black), two headbands- red or black, and three studded belts- red, black, or white.

Now, I have to choose an outfit. I'm thinking, the Metallica tee with a black mini skirt, black pumps, red studded belt, and black earrings.

I carried the clothes and put them down on the bed. I walked to the door and grabbed my briefcase. I set it down gently and opened it.

Then Bella walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and I handed her her clothes. She grabbed them, turned around, and walked back into the bathroom.

I grabbed the hair dryer and brush out of my briefcase and waited outside of the door. She opened it about two minutes later.

I dried her hair in ten minutes, straightened it in another ten minutes, now it's time for makeup (she brushed her teeth before getting dressed).

BPOV:

After she finished with my makeup, I got to look in the mirror. She did an amazing job! I look beautiful for an emo girl! She gave me "smoky eyes", light blush, and red lipstick.

"Thanks, Rosalie, you're the best!" I hugged her gently.

"You're welcome, anytime! You'll break hearts tonight, I know it!"

And with that she left.

I grabbed my "Bad Religion" hoodie, a water bottle, and my guitar and walked outside to the truck.

I got to the House of Blues thirty minutes later. We have thirty minutes to practice and we perform at 8:30 PM. It's 7:30 PM right now, so I have to wait one hour to see the Cullens.

Stan is going to play bass, Kirk is going to play the drums, Chad will play the backup guitar, and nobody will sing backup.

"Okay, so how many songs do I get to perform tonight?" I ask Kirk.

"Six," He answered.

"Excellent. So we'll play these songs in this order; 'Decoy', 'Fall Back Into My Life', 'Tigers and Sharks', 'Photobooth', 'S.O.S.', and then 'Dance Floor Anthem'."

"Okay, great, I'll tell the guys."

He did and we rehearsed.

"Welcome, everyone, to the House Of Blues in Seattle, Washington! Tonight we are having a live performance! Please welcome 'Exotic Rhythm' to the stage!" The announcer announced.

Everyone in the crowd clapped and cheered. We walked onto the stage and grabbed our instruments. I looked into the crowd and spotted the Cullens easily…they were in the front row! I grabbed my guitar and walked up to the microphone.

"Thank you, everyone! My name is Bella Swan, and I am the lead singer and guitarist of 'Exotic Rhythm'. My band is in Phoenix for another month. So Kirk, Chad, and Stan are going to replace them tonight. I wrote all of the songs we are going to perform tonight. Here is our first song, it's called 'Decoy'. I hope you all like it."

"Close your eyes and make believe this is where you want to be
Forgetting all the memories, try to forget love cause love's forgotten me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant, the stars reminiscing
Your heart's been wasted on me

You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
My little decoy

Live your life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forcing to you just cause you're into me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and you know I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day

You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy

Oh, oh.
I'm not sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I won't be sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I'd do it over again

Don't look so blue, my little decoy
You should've seen right through, my little decoy
You've never been so used, my little decoy
And so I'm using you, my little decoy"

They all clapped.

"Thank you all, that was 'Decoy'. The next song is called 'Fall Back Into My Life'.

"I know it's not enough to say I'm wrong
You know that I will miss you now your gone
I know it's not your life to see this through
Just know that in my heart, it beats for you
So leave a little note for me behind
I swear I have to know the reasons why
This won't survive

But if you fall back into my life
I'd spend every night waking up to the beat I hear inside
Telling me to be your only one
But if you fall back into my life
I promise you I would never let another day just pass us by
I could never leave this world undone
I want to be your only one

And now it's not the same with you away
Just holding onto hope to save my days
I won't survive
So just stay with me tonight, and try

But if you fall back into my life
I'd spend every night waking up to the beat I hear inside
Telling me to be your only one
But if you fall back into my life
I promise you I would never let another day just pass us by
I could never leave this war unsung
I want to be your only one"

I looked back at Edward for the last chorus, he looked shocked. The song ended and everyone clapped.

"The next song is called 'Tigers and Sharks' and it's about how I feel. I felt depressed when I wrote this song. I hope you enjoy this next song."

EPOV:

I listened to "Fall Back Into My Life" and wondered if she really felt that way right now. I'll have to ask her, that is, if she let's me talk to her.

"The next song is called 'Tigers and Sharks' and it's about how I feel. I felt depressed when I wrote this song. I hope you enjoy this next song."

"All those dirty words that you said, did you mean it, did you now.
You're biting at the hand that feeds you, like a stray for some scraps.
Everybody you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone that you once loved has sold you out."

Oh My God! This is about me, isn't it? I turned my back on her, but only because she accused me. It may have been true, but she didn't even let me explain. I made her depressed? Now I hate myself more than I did before.

"Everyone I know, they faked it from the word go and I need to know why.
That everyone I love has been swimming with the sharks and I don't know why."

That's me, I apparently "faked it from the word 'go'".

"Does defeat leave a taste in your mouth, one that you could live without
Everyone that you once knew has turned their backs.
And everyone that you once loved has sold you out."

It does make me feel terrible. I never wanted to hurt her.

"Everyone I know, they faked it from the word go and I need to know why.
That everyone I love has been swimming with the sharks and I don't know why."

"So how does it feel?

How does that feel?

How do you, how do you

So how does that feel?

How does that feel?

How do you, how do you

How does that feel?

How does that feel to you?

To you…"

"Bella, you want to know how it feels to me? It feels terrible... I feel horrible." I thought to myself.
