Chapter Twelve

Alice and I caught up with each other and she 'fixed' my makeup.

"Alice, we need Bella." Edward knocked on the door. I held up my phone, and she cracked up when she saw the picture of Edward.

"Alice now." Edward growled.

"I'll be watching back stage." Alice smiled and I nodded and opened the door. Edward stood at the door and his arm touched the opposite door post and I ducked under and got to my place on stage.

Principal Romanelli introduced Edward and welcomed their families. Edward gave his corny speech on how hard we all worked hard, considering he was the new teacher. Katie and I held back our laughter, but we shut up when Edward turned around and introduced that I was up. I sang Gravity and as I sang, I saw my family Colin walk in with Derek and Rosalie walked in with Emmett and my family and the Cullens came in and sat near each other.

As I sang, "Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone." Alec, Jane and Heidi walked in. My face light up, I could feel it. I soon finished I saw a few parents who had tears in their eyes. I walked off stage and ran to change while the rest of choir sang.

Alice brushed out the wrinkles and hung the dress up and I changed into a one shouldered purple ruffle dress with white satin heels.

Next up was a World of Chances.

The songs flowed smoothly into my solo and I started, when I got to the part of Maybe you'll all me someday Hear the operator say the numbers no good And that she had A world of chances, for you. I thought to myself, I had a world of chances for Edward to come back and find me. He would've been my knight in shining armor if he didn't leave, who knows where we would be if he didn't. Married, still dating? Or would we still not have worked like we thought we would have. But I had Alec and he was all I needed.

I finished and the whole crowd clapped and bowed. Alice had two songs to dress me. The boys were singing making my way back to you and I had just finished slipping on my simple black halter dress with a simple diamond accent in the center. I got on my black ankle heels and walked out behind the curtain and watched Alec listen to the concert. Jane spotted me and nudged Heidi and Alec and pointed to me. They waved and I fluttered my fingers.

"Bella, you forgot your microphone." Alice whispered.

I quickly met her where she was and grabbed it from her. "Thanks Alice."

"This will be Isabella's last solo, then she will be closing us with help from Dylan." Edward said and everyone clapped and I walked back out.

"This is White Horse." I announced and gave Edward the nod to start. His fingers started to play and I started to sing. Edward and I added a big moving part to boost the tempo so people wouldn't fall asleep; Emmett had the thought of adding special effects. But what I didn't know was the special affect was rain.

"There in my rearview mirror disappearing now And 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."

When I started to sing Whoa Whoa, the rain affect started and there was the sound of rain falling. Though luckily I wasn't getting wet. It was one of those rain illusion machines. A huge smiled came across when I thought I was going to get wet and I did my big finish. This seemed like my ending but there was so much more.

"YEAH ISABELLA!" Derek and Colin shouted and if I could I would have blushed. The first row back section there was the Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme and then a few empty seats next to her was Madi, Steve, Derek, Amy, Colin, and Brett.

I bowed and walked back to the dressing room. My last dress was Zebra Silk with a neon blue bow under my bust. Wasn't my first pick but I needed a party dress. My phone when off as I was about to leave, it was a text from Alec, Well done, you are doing great. Love you Alec.

"Aww." I sighed.

"What?" Alice asked.

"Oh nothing." I told her and erased the text

"Now this is called Missing you and this will be done by Dylan and Isabella." Edward smiled and everyone smiled and cheered. To start the song Dylan and I were hiding when I started to sing. And eventually we showed our self

Dylan and I had everyone clapping and dancing, then the choir had secretly had a cocktail dress on and the guys had a dress shirt and dress pants on and the ripped off their choir robes and they started to dance behind us. It was kind of corny but it got the crowd going. There was a really dark part that was done by the CD and while it came on, Carlisle spotted Alec, Jane and Heidi. His face was a look of panic and luckily we only had 30 seconds left in the song.

"KATIE!" I called my mind.

"I know I'm on it when we are done."

"I'll be out as soon as I am done getting changed." I told her.

"Got it, go, you are on." Katie shooed me out of her mind and I finished. Dylan and I joined hands with the rest of the choir and we all took a bow. Alec, Jane and Heidi were cheering and while we waited for the crowd to settle down, Alec was mouthing sweet things to me and I smiled and winked at him. I ran back stage and changed in 2 minutes flat, back to my blue dress with black lace. I sprinted to Alec as humanly as possible.

"We haven't broken any laws." Carlisle told them, Edward was already with his family and ready to kill them.

"ALEC!" I squealed and his strong arms caught me and twirled me around and kissed my =lips softly. He let me down and I looked over to the Cullens and their eyes were wide with astonishment. Edward's face was full of pure horror and it was priceless.
