"Bella we have a gig that day in Port Angeles! Remember?" Ben said as I bit my lip.
"Please Ben, I can't bring Jasper and I refuse to have Jacob near me. Please."
"I didn't say no! I'm just saying timing!" He smiled.
I hugged him close and messed up his hair. "Thank you!"
"So what's your plan?"
"Ok," I stated. "We go there, get out and change in the car."
"What if we're late?" Ben asked.
"We won't." I said positively.
-Night of the Gig-
I stared out into the crowd with Ben beside me. I hated him for this. I took a deep breath and moved closer to the mic as Ben and I began to strum.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards
One blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite
The light and let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make em go oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on; let your colors burst
Make em go oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave em fallin down oh oh
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original you cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on show em what you're worth
Make 'em go oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky ey ey
Baby, you're a firework
Come on; let your colors burst
Make 'em go oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down oh oh
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to through, ooh, ooh
Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on show em what you're worth
Make 'em go oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky ey ey
You're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em fallin down oh oh
We finished and I smiled. I was shocked when we got a really good response from the crowd, clapping and cheering. I smiled at Ben and we hurried off stage. It was harder to get out than we thought when people were stopping to tell us how good we were.
Ben was laughing at me as I sat in the backseat of his car.
"Bella you were amazing! That was worth this rush."
"Ben if we're late, Dad is going to kill me!"
I threw my dress over my head and strategically took off my tank top at the same time. Ben laughed as he watched me struggle out of my jeans.
"Watch the road you perv!" I yelled.
He laughed even harder as he shook his head. "Come on Bella. I'm gay!"
"You weren't always," I winked.
I climbed back up to the front with my heels in hand. Ben turned on the radio to calm me down as we sped to the dinner. I think we might just make it, if time was on our side. I stared out the window letting music enter my system.

It was quiet at the house now, Annie had left with Daniel already to go to the ceremony and Gramps headed home yesterday evening. I picked are my electric guitar that Gramps had brought me down from Texas. I forgot how much I missed it. My fingers moved quickly along the frets, making chords and such. I finally had a good rhythm going when the doorbell rang. I answered it slowly not knowing who it could possibly be. I was shocked to find Charlie standing there in a suit and tie.
"Sir?" I asked, before opening the door more welcoming him in. "Come on in."
"Is your Grandpa here?" He asked, looking around.
"Sorry, you missed him. He left yesterday night." I explained rubbing the back of my neck.
"We had a discussion at the station, I just wanted to wish him a good trip home that's all."
I just nodded my head, not knowing what to say. I knew Charlie still hated me and I was okay with it. I just didn't understand why he was here.
"Jasper, I wish I had more time to do this but I don't. I'm sure you know I have to go soon."
I nodded. "Congratulations Chief Swan."
Charlie sighed. "Jasper, I've come to acknowledge that what I did to you was wrong… I want to apologize but what you did was wrong as well, especially since you're dating my daughter…" he started. I couldn't believe my ears.
"Sir, I was going to tell you when we got back from Texas but everything happened so quickly."
Charlie nodded his head. "Jasper, slowly, I am being to give you my trust again. Especially since your Grandfather told me about Annie's situation, and how you've taken care of her. I saw you and Bella the other day in Port Angeles; I can see how much you care for her and her you. Her and Daniel's happiness is the only thing in the world that matters to me in the world."
I nodded. "Chief Swan, Bella is the only thing that matters to me. She's truly the most amazing person I have ever met, and Annie is like my little sister, it's very important to me to take care of her. I don't know what I could do to make up what I've done, and I'm so sorry…"
Charlie nodded and looked at his watch. He turned toward the door and I followed him out. He shook my hand and smiled.
"Remember, I told you to call me Charlie."
With that he left and I stood on my porch in shock. I couldn't believe what just happened. Oh boy.

Ben and I barely made it on time. We rushed in as they were starting the ceremony. Dad and Daniel just shook their heads at us as we sat down at our table. Ben just smiled while I mouthed a sorry. Annie just smiled at me with a wink. She looked gorgeous in her dress and I could tell that Daniel loved it, since he could barely take his eyes off of her. Ben smoothed my hair while they were introducing everyone and I sighed. I really wished I didn't look like a mess for Dad's special night. I hope he'll forgive me…
The dinner was great, it looked delicious and it made me jealous to know I couldn't cook like this. Dad smiled at me as we started eating.
"So how was it?" he asked.
Ben and I both looked at each other… we never did actually tell him we had had a gig tonight.
"How was what?" I asked, looking at him.
"Whatever it was that made up late," he chuckled.
Daniel and Annie just smiled at us as they started eating. I almost felt like I was going to get in trouble if I told him, since I was already on too short a string.
"Ben and I had a gig tonight… and we weren't late, we were just on time."
Daniel glared. "You didn't tell me?"
"You wouldn't have made it!" I laughed.
"Still, I wanted the choice," he pretended to glare.
"How did you do?" Dad asked.
This one of the first real conversations we've had in a while.
"It was very well Charlie. The crowd went wild for Bella. I swear she's the next Christina Aguilera," Ben praised with a smile.
I shook my head. "It went really well. I was surprised at how well they embraced the song."
"That's great Kid," Dad smiled. "And I must say all of you look very nice. You boys clean up well."
Annie rubbed her arm and Daniel wrapped his arm around her kissing her forehead.
"Thank you kids for coming tonight," Dad said. "I know this isn't what you want to do for a Friday night I'm sure, Bella can prove that, but thank you."
Dad went back to eating and Daniel and I just looked at each other. Dad never was good with showing his feelings and such, but he was finally warming up to Annie, which brought him out of his shell more. I really enjoyed that.
Soon dinner was over after random conversation and it was time for the awards. As soon as Charlie was called up, we all cheered and clapped at our table the loudest, making sure we embarrassed him. Dad was very proud when he sat back down and I could tell this meant a lot to him.
As soon as it was over we all got in our cars and drove home… and Ben and I were rocking out to The Used.

I could see her light on as I pulled up in front of the house. She must've only just been getting home, since all the other lights were on as well.
Look outside your window
I texted her and I waited until I saw her window opened. I waved my hand so she would down to me. She nodded and shut her window again. I chuckled as I stared up at the sky. The stars were beautiful with the full moon lighting the midnight sky, but Bella shined brighter as she ran out into the street bare foot in her black dress and converse in hand. I hugged her around the waist and spun her around, making her giggle. She kissed me softly and I smiled.
"Can I take you somewhere tonight?"
"Anywhere," she smiled as I helped her into the truck.
She fiddled with her shoes in the car while I turned the radio down while patting my thumbs against the steering wheel. I looked over at her gorgeous face and she smiled, lighting up her face.
"I love you," she murmured.
"I love you too Darlin'."
If only we could drive away forever from everything. Just her and I.
