Chapter 14: A Night Out Part 3
*Previously*
Edward hissed something so low I could barely catch it. I'm assuming it was some form of a threat against him if he ever came near us again. The man nodded his head and as soon as his feet returned to the ground he took off running.
Emmett and Jasper laughed at the guy running through the bar. They looked at me and they must have wanted to know if I was ok. I nodded towards them saying thank you. They went towards the other end of the bar where Alice, Rosalie, and Nessie were standing and talking.
Alice and Rosalie must have distracted Nessie while this little scene occurred. I noted to myself to say thanks to them later.
"Are you okay Bella?" A velvety voice asked.
"I could've taken care of it myself Edward," I said turning away from his prying eyes full of question and concern. "I am a big bad vampire now I could've ripped his arms off easily."
He put his finger under my chin and pulled it up so he could see my face. His face only held concern… he whispered the next sentence quietly searching my face, "Could you?"
Bella's POV:
"Of course I could've Edward." I said brushing by him.
"Bella we need to talk," Edward said grabbing my arm turning me back around.
"We don't need to do anything," I said pulling my arm out of his hand.
"Hey Alice!" I said waving my arm to get her attention.
I stepped up to the bar with them and smiled at Rosalie and my daughter. I grabbed Renesmee and gave her a huge hug. "You did great, sweetie." I whispered into her ear.
"So Bella you ready to go?" Rosalie asked
"Um no," I said.
"Come on Mo—I mean Bella. You should go I went and it was amazing!" Renesmee said grabbing arm excitedly. "It was nerve racking at first but once you're up there it's so much fun!"
"Oh please Bella?" Alice pleaded.
"Yea I heard you have an amazing voice," Rose said smiling.
"Oh she does believe me she won't admit to it but I am one of the few who has been allowed to hear her and she is one of the best I have ever heard." Renesmee said turning to Rose.
"It's decided then you are next Bella." Alice said cheerfully.
"You know Alice, you haven't gone yet either. Why don't you go and then I can go after you." I said pleadingly.
"How do I know you will go after I do?" Alice said questioning me.
"I promise to go after you Alice. If not I promise to let you throw a huge party for no reason at my house and you can buy everyone's outfits."
"How about you let me take you on as many shopping trips I want?" Alice said returning my offer.
"Ugh." I said.
"Is that a no deal?" Alice sang
"No."
"No what?"
"It's a deal." I said sadly
"Yay!" She squealed jumping up and down in true Alice style.
She skipped off alone to the DJ booth to tell him her song. With a few batted eyelashes he nodded his head and she skipped onstage. Alice gracefully approached the microphone. She grabbed it in both hands and looked towards the girls and I where we stood by the bar still. She flashed her teeth at us in a smile and winked. It put us into a fit of giggles and we could tell Alice was trying not to join in herself. She took a deep breath closing her eyes. She exhaled slowly and began the song in a beautiful and lilting voice.
"Her face is a map of the world, is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
People who surround her feel the benefit of it, it makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Her next line was enough to send us all back into fits of giggling. It was such an Alice like song that we couldn't help but laugh. I was glad I waited to go until after her.
Suddenly I see Suddenly I see And I feel like walking the world, like walking the world Suddenly I see Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And you can hear she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember what you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wire
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
That this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most and she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower, big strong tower yeah
The power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
Alice had been walking around the stage but now she stopped and stood center stage singing. She sang these lines perfectly.
(Suddenly I see) Suddenly I see Suddenly I see Suddenly I see Suddenly I see
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
She got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see, yeah yeah
(Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
Cause this is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
(Suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see
(Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me"
Alice did a little curtsy and a wave at the end of the song and then walked off as gracefully as she got on.
"It's your turn now Bella," Alice said appearing next to me out of nowhere.
"Oh shit," I muttered.
Alice was escorting me to the stage with my daughter and Rosalie helping push me from behind.
"Guys I don't know about this I mean I really can't sing so I don't see why I'm going up there just to embarrass myself." I said trying to find a way out.
"You're going Bella, now get over your fear and get your ass up there," Rosalie said giving me a final shove to the DJ booth.
Someone's hand grabbed my shoulder after the girls walked away, just as I went to walk up to the booth. I turned around to see who I was.
"Bella listen I really need to talk to you," Edward said pleading in his voice and hurt in his eyes.
If I could cry I would. Here it comes, Edwards going to tell me how he never wants to see me again how he couldn't believe I let myself get knocked up and that I ran away and how horrible a person I've been. I took a step back gasping.
"Don't say it Edward," I whispered my voice filled with the hurt, pain, and sadness I felt.
"Say what?" he questioned.
"Don't tell me how much you hate me, how much of a bad person I am. I know I'm horrible, I don't deserve the life I have and the people in it. Please I promise this is the last time you have to see me I just can't do it tonight. Just don't tell me how much you don't, cant and ever won't love me again. Please." I whispered backing away.
He seemed stunned. I was able to slip back into the crowd and snuck my way over to the DJ booth. I whispered him my song choice and made my way upstage. I searched the crowd for Edward. I found him. He was standing near the middle of the crowd close to the stage. When I found him I slowly began to sing.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face I would hold you in my arms I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Edward's POV:
"Of course I could've Edward." She said brushing by me.
"Bella we need to talk," I said grabbing her arm turning her back around to face me.
"We don't need to do anything," she hissed pulling her beautiful arm out of my hand.
She backed up into the crowed and disappeared calling Alice's name. My angel didn't want to talk to me anymore. I doubt she loved me anymore. I guess she has moved on.
I briefly registered the fact Alice was onstage and singing. I did notice and snap back to life though when I heard Bella's voice pleading with Alice though. Slice and Rosalie and Renesmee were pushing and dragging Bella over to the DJ booth. I needed to talk to her. Maybe I could talk to her there.
The girls walked away leaving Bella alone to go onstage.
"Bella listen I really need to talk to you," I said pleading with her to just hear me out and listen to what I need to tell her.
A hundred different emotions seemed to flash across her face. She seemed ready to burst into tears and I stood here motionless and unable to do anything.
"Don't say it Edward," she whispered her voice filled with the hurt, pain, and sadness she must be feeling.
"Say what?" I questioned confused.
"Don't tell me how much you hate me, how much of a bad person I am. I know I'm horrible, I don't deserve the life I have and the people in it. Please I promise this is the last time you have to see me I just can't do it tonight. Just don't tell me how much you don't, cant and ever won't love me again. Please." she whispered close to tears, backing away.
How could she think I hate her? How could she think I don't lover her? How could she? She's all I have thought about since she left. I have never given up on her, nor will I ever.
When she started to sing though it took my breath away, she was an amazing singer. No, beyond amazing if that's possible. At first she was focusing on her singing but then she started to move and dance a little on stage. What was more important though was the fact that the whole time she was staring at me.
"Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
Of course I love her, how could I not love the angel standing before me.
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do Oh, it's dangerous
And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away
It's so out of line to try to turn back time
She gave me one last look before looking away and out to the stunned and silent audience to sing the last few lines of the song.
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do By hurting you"
And I've hurt myself
I knew what I would have to do next and I was way prepared to do it. I just hope she gets the message.
Bella's POV:
The crowd was either stunned to silence or shocked at how horrible I was. I felt awkward and anxious standing on stage.
"Thank you," I said into the microphone heading to the stairs. Then I heard something. Something that startled me. At first it was quiet sounding, and then it got louder and louder until it was so loud I could hear nothing else but the clapping and cheering in the room. Loudest of all I heard my family – I mean the Cullens and Renesmee.
I would be lying if I didn't say I was shocked by the response. I smiled at the crowd and made my way down the stairs. I was greeted by a small crowd of people and then thankfully pulled out by a rather large arm belonging to Emmett. He pulled me out of the crowd and into a hug. I was then passed around in a circle to get hugged by Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Renesmee. All of whom gave me a chorus of congratulations, good jobs, wows, and you were amazing.
"Bella, this is for you," Edward said. I turned around looking for him and when I found him I was curious and slightly shocked. Edward was onstage at the microphone, and he was getting ready to sing.
He was staring right at me and people seemed to step back making a circle around the Cullens, Nessie, and I. Well that is until they seemed to take a step back too.
"I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in"
I was holding my breath as I listened to him sing. He was beyond amazing and he had me completely mesmerized simply by the sound of his voice.
"If I could walk on water, If I could tell you what's next So come on, get higher, loosen my lips So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Make you believe, make you forget
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love"
Was he trying to tell me something?
"I miss the sound of your voice If I could walk on water, if I could tell you what's next, So come on, get higher, loosen my lips So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet,
perfect words that you said
make you believe, make you forget
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me in love
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me in love"
Could Edward be trying to tell me that he loves me despite everything?
"I miss the pull of your heart
I can taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God
when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on - HOLD
Singin' shalala la
Singin' shalala lala
hwooo
hwooo
hwooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo"
Oh my god I think he is trying to tell me he loves me.
"Come on, get higher, loosen my lips So come on, get higher, loosen my lips (come on get higher, loosen my lips)
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me in love
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just to pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love
It's all wrong
(faith and desire at the swing of your hips)
It's all wrong
(just to pull me down hard and drown me in love)
It's all right So, come on, get higher
Come on, get higher
'Cause everything works love
Everything works in your arms"
"I will always love you Bella," Edward said still using the microphone.
It was at that moment I could finally admit to myself that I still loved Edward Cullen. Surprisingly he still loved me.
