"Hurry up," I screamed as I ran toward my bike. The others had no clue what was going on, and I knew that I was agitating, but today was a really big concert that I couldn't screw up. It was all for her. I would make it perfect for her. I was soon on my bike, and I didn't even wait for Edward this time. I took off, worrying about if I was going to be late for the concert.

When I looked back quickly, I saw that they were right behind me. I was so happy that we wouldn't be stuck in traffic at all. This had to be perfect.

We soon reached the concert hall, and I hoped off my bike before anyone could get out of the hummer. I was soon in the building.

"Ready Bella," Peter questioned as he saw me. I nodded. He was the only one who knew about this concert. I was so grateful that I had him to help me today. "It's for her, Bella. Don't forget that." He gave me a hug which I gladly returned.

"Is he here," I questioned, nervous. He nodded and I sighed in relief.

"What's going on," Romeo questioned as they finally caught up with me. Peter helped me out though.

"It's time to get out there," he stated. "Go get them." I ran out before any of the others could ask me what was happening again. The crowd cheered.

"How's everyone doing tonight," I screamed into the mic. The screamed back. The others entered the stage. "Now, we're going to do things differently tonight. We're going to have a guest in our concert that's going to help one of our members out." The others looked at me with surprise and confusion. "He doesn't know about it yet, but this isn't my concert tonight." The crowd looked confused. "Let me explain."

"When I came here to the great city of New York City, I met someone special. She helped us through all of this, and she was Antonio's girlfriend. Her name was Maria." Antonio looked at me with surprise. "See, she helped me break my shell, the one that I've had for so long. She's not with us anymore because she died of cancer two months ago. She requested something of me before she died though. It was about a concert, in honor of Antonio, so that he knew that she would always be here for him, even when dead.

"Antonio won't be playing with us tonight though, under her request. Instead, Maria had me bring in someone special to her heart, her brother, Mark." Mark entered the stage with his bass and walked over to Antonio. They gave each other a hug, and Antonio walked off stage as Mark took his place. The crowd screamed for Antonio as he walked off.

"She had me record this for her, and now here is Maria," I yelled as I pushed play on the recorder. The crowd screamed as Maria's voice filled the stadium.

"How is everyone doing tonight," she screamed from the recorder, and I almost cried from hearing her voice. She had asked me to be strong though, and I was going to do it, for her and Antonio. The crowd screamed, even though she wasn't here. "I want to thank you all tonight to support the band and my brother. I also want to thank Antonio." I looked over at him to see that he was gasping as he tried to suppress his sobs. I hope that this would work like she wanted it to. "He's helped me through thick and thin, a lot more thick than thin really, and he's always been there for me. I love you, Antonio, and this is for you." I stopped the tape, and everyone screamed! They screamed the loudest I've ever seen or heard before. I smiled for Maria. She would have wanted me happy.

"This song was a creation by Maria," I stated. "Antonio never knew about it; he always thought it was mine, but it wasn't. She wanted it to be played for this special night. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, Cry."

I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But i was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring at a dark gray sky
I was changed

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you
i wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything, all right....

I'll always remember...
It was late afternoon...
In places no one would find...

In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

I played the tape recorder. "How was that," Maria screamed. I chuckled as I smiled. I remember when she asked me to help her with this, and it was so much fun. "I'm sure that Bella said that it was all me that wrote this, but I had help from her also."

"She's a liar, Antonio," I heard me state into the tape recorder. My smile widened. "She's perfect. Never let her escape your heart!"

"Anyways," she chided into the tape recorder while laughing. "This next song was also made by me, with Bella's help—."

"Liar," I heard me yell. The crowd laughed. "She's so selfless, she can't even admit it!"

"Bella," she gasped. "That is so not true and Antonio would know it." I blushed as I remember that day. I turned toward Antonio to see that he was blushing too as he sobbed. The crowd screamed so much that I had to stop the tape until they calmed down. Then I pressed play. "Anyways, since Bella keeps interrupting me, it's for not only Antonio, but it's for my big brother, Mark. That's why I've asked him to play today because he would be strong for me, and he's the strongest big brother that anyone could have. I love you, boys, and here's the next song, Someone's Watching Over Me." I stopped the tape, and we started playing.

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me

I pressed play again, and Maria's voice came on. "Thank you!" The crowd roared on.

Author's Note: Part one of Maria is done!

Emmett: Who's Maria?

Rosalie: Can't you keep up, Emmett? Maria is Antonio's dead girlfriend.

Emmett: That's all we know about her though. What else is there to Maria?

Alice: She's going to let you know later. That's why it's Part One of Maria. That means there's going to be more than one part about her, Emmett. Keep up with things, will ya?

Emmett: I'm sure that I'm not the only one who wanted to know.

Alice is right. I will tell you more about Maria in the upcoming chapters. I'd like to say that I disown the music and characters. The characters, I mean the Cullen's and Bella, are Stephenie Meyer's work. Mandy Moore was the creator of Cry. If you've ever listened to the credits of A Walk To Remember, then you would know that before I even said it. If you haven't seen the movie A Walk To Remember, well I say SHAME ON YOU!!!! That is a great movie with a lot to learn (it's also a book).

The second song was created by Hilary Duff. It was from a great movie called Raise Up. It's about a girl who loses her brother, and how she comes out of her shell once again.

Alice: See you next time!
