Edward's song ended and I was in tears, I mean it was slightly angering that he had slipped that in there, even given the music to his brothers to learn, and then played it. But I guess I did the same thing. We all were jazzed up on the concert, but the curtains closed.
"That was great!" I yelled and ran up to Damon and hugged him. Then I saw that we were missing someone. Emmett, Edwards brother wasn't behind the curtain.
"Thank you for listening to us tonight, even though it wasn't what you were expecting!" I heard his booming voice scream. Wow, I guess we had a diva. "From now on we'll be known as Radical Mayhem, and we hope you love us just as much!" He said and slipped back through the curtain effortlessly with a huge smile on his face.
Then he turned to me.
"If that's okay with you…" He said.
"Of course! You guys rock!" I screamed. And ran up and hugged all of them, Jazzy then Emmy, and then Eddy.
"You mean it?" Jasper asked.
"Of course! I wouldn't lie about the band." I said excitedly. Wow, we were going to rock.
"Well this only means one thing…" Jasper whispered.
"A NEW SET OF DRUMS!" Emmett cried. We all sighed, and then laughed. "What, what's wrong with getting new drums?" He asked defensively.
"Sometimes you are worse than Alice and her shopping." Edward laughed.
I shivered. Shopping, I hated it.
"Are you cold?" Damon asked.
"No, I…um…hate shopping, you guys can go without me."
"Really? Are you sure Rie, cause I'm going to go too?" Damon said. I took his hand.
"Damon, I'd rather choke on stage than shop." I said.
"I understand." He said, then he kissed my forehead and took off yelling, 'Last one to the music store is an idiot.' I laughed and made my way back out to the crowd, and fished out Edwards family.
"So you hate shopping?" A voice said behind me. I turned to see Edward following me, I thought he left.
"Didn't you go with the others?" I asked confused.
"Uh…no." he said his eyes smoldering. Wow.
"Oh." I breathed. Just then his family came out of nowhere, tackling us to the ground.
"That was great!" Alice cried.
"It was." I agreed.
"I can't wait till tomorrows show!" She squealed, I looked at her confused.
"There is no show tomorrow." I said. Then I looked to Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Edward who were all grinning widely. "Oh, man, what's going on?" I demanded.
"Well, I entered Radical Mayhem into the tour slots, and well, you're on tour now. Traveling is sweet!" Alice cried again hugging me.
"But we need new songs!" I said anxiety taking over, I can't just keep singing the same old crap.
"Well, we definitely have that covered, Jasper, and I have songs wrote from like ever ago, and they're supposed to be sung from a male lead but we can work them out to be for a female."
"Well that's just the problem Alice; we have too many leads as it is. Me, Damon, and now Edward, we all have great voices. I couldn't stand to cut one of us out, and then…I don't know Alice, it seems a bit difficult to continue like this." I said.
"Well about that…I talked to um…Damon earlier, and he said he would back down for you two to sing." Alice said.
"But he loves being on stage, why would he just give that up?" I shouted confused.
"Because he loves you, and so do we." Carlisle said. I couldn't help it, I began to cry. I needed to talk to Damon about this, he was the whole reason that I loved to sing. I nodded to them, and then dashed from the room. All the way back to the house, where the guys were already waiting, Damon stretched out on the couch.
"Damon…can I talk to you?" I asked. He nodded once and got up. He seemed at ease about something, Resigned, I think was a better word.
"Riley, I think we both know what's going on. I'm leaving the new band, it feels too weird without Aiden and Sam. We have the rest of the Coven back where I'm from…I'm going back Riley." He said looking away from me. For some reason this didn't hurt me like it should have. Weird.

"Alice, I don't get what you're saying!" I cried, I hushed my voice though, since Riley was upstairs asleep.
"Damon, I know that It's hard to believe, but Riley…she….we knew her when she was human, back at that time…she was in love with Edward. They were…set to get married actually. Then some psycho vampire came to kill her and Edward took care of it, then left. He didn't want her to be in danger, and he didn't want to change her either. He thought she was under too much pressure, and he didn't want her making the choice like that. Well, I can't really tell you what happened to her after we left, but when we came here, he caught her scent at the concert. Damon, he loves her so much. It's killing him, my husband, Jasper, is an Empathic, he can feel the emotions of the people around him, and Edward is in so much pain." She said her golden eyes boring into me.
"So what are you telling me to do? Give up on her? Leave her? What are you saying that she's going to leave me?" I asked outraged.
"Damon, all I'm saying is that the love for each other is still there, Jasper can sense it. They, they belong with one another." She begged. It would make sense, since this was a part of her life I didn't know, and she changed her name, maybe to forget it all.
"I get it Alice. I understand. I think I know how I'm going to remove myself from the picture." I said.
"Damon, I didn't mean…" Alice said her eyes radiating pain.
"Well Alice, I know you didn't mean for me to leave, but I can't stay her and watch this." I said quietly. I walked back upstairs to my Riley, and kissed her on the head. Today is my last day with you love. I thought bitterly. She rolled over and muttered hisname, I laughed. Ironic, but this was why I was leaving.
End FlashBack
Her eyes were wide, like she couldn't believe it, she probably didn't considering the fact that she forgot her old family. But if Jasper could still feel her love for him, even after her mind has been wiped, then I doubt that they will be able to stay apart long.
I sighed, and took her hand in mine.
"Good-bye love." I whispered and then kissed her hand.
"No…no…Damon." She sobbed. I took my hand back quickly, I couldn't stand this much longer, I'd never be able to leave. I looked at her one last time and ran out of the door. My chest hurt so much. I loved her.

Damon was talking to Bella, then I heard his thought before he said them. Oh no. Bella was being setup for another heart break. I went to dash up the stairs, but Emmett was there, and he caught me, along with Jasper.
"It's all for you bud, it was bound to happen anyway." Emmett said. I don't care what they said, I was the most vial being ever. I was causing her all the pain. Then Damon came down the stairs and stopped right in front of me, I was realesed by my brothers, and he got right into my face.
"If you ever hurt her…again, I'll be back." He growled, and left. I was then pushed from behind, and on my own I climbed the rest of the way up those stairs, right to where Bella was. She was on her bed, strumming a guitar and singing. I lingered outside the door to listen.
And her voice hit me.
"I
always needed time on my own When you walk
away When you're gone I've never
felt this way before When you walk away Do you see how much I need you
right now? When you're gone We were
made for each other All I ever wanted was for you to know When you're gone
I never thought I'd need you there
when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the
bed where you lie
is made up on your side
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need
you right now?
The pieces of my heart are
missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing
too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get
me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And
the clothes you left
they lie on my floor
And they smell just
like you
I love the things that you do
I
count the steps that you take
The pieces of my heart are
missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing
too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get
me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah,
Yeah
Everything I do
I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you
here with me
Yeah
The pieces of my
heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know
is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will
always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you"
She was in so much pain, I couldn't bear it, and I had cause it. There was something wrong with me. Yet I couldn't bring myself to separate from her, I was far too selfish.
"You can come in." Her voice said, and I blinked a couple times, thinking that she was talking to me. Then I heard a thump in her room. Then the unmistakable scent of werewolf.
So….whatdaya think?
