BPOV:
We finished dinner at six. We heard the front door open. We looked over in that direction to see Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett come home.
"Hey guys!" Alice greets.
"Hey." We all say at the same time in a bored tone.
We all sat down on the sofas as Esme and Carlisle went upstairs.
"Tonight, let's have fun!" Alice said. We all groaned. Usually her term of "fun" is torture. "Oh, come on! It's not bad!" She whined.
"What did you have in mind, Ali?" Rose asks like she's used to it.
"Karaoke!"
We all mumbled, "Okay.", as Alice went upstairs. About a minute later, Alice came back downstairs with a karaoke machine and microphone.
"Okay, who wants to go first?" Alice asks. Suddenly, my phone rings.
"That's when she said I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save
That's when I told her I love you girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"
I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Bella? It's Chad, from Seattle's House of Blues. Do you remember me?"
"Yes."
"Well, we were wondering if you would like to perform next Saturday."
"Sure, what time?"
"7 at night. You have your band in town, right?" He asks.
"Yep! I'll bring them along with me."
"Okay, Bella. See you next Saturday. I also have someone to introduce you to that night."
"Is it a special girl?"
"Yes."
"Okay, Chad! Bring her along! I would love to meet her! See you then." I hang up the phone.
"What was that all about?" Lizzie asks.
"WE HAVE A GIG!!" I shrieked, then the rest of the girls followed suit.
"When, where, how???" Ashlynne asks excitedly.
"Next Saturday, 7:00 PM, the House of Blues in Seattle, and because I played one earlier and they loved our music."
"Did you write any new songs?" Sabrina asks.
"Yep, lots!"
"Now, we really have to celebrate! Okay, back to where we left off. Who's going to go first?" Alice asked happily.
"I will." I volunteer.
"Okay what song?" She asks. I whisper it in her ear. She nodded her head in approval. The music then started.

What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I'm going crazy now
No more gas in the rig
Can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said
Can't even speak about it
All my life on my head
Don't want to think about it
Feels like I'm going insane
Yeah
It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
It's too close for comfort
Throw on your brake lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must faulter be wise
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight

Ain't used to what you like

Disconnectin' your call
Your phone don't even ring
I gotta get out
Or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort
It's a thief in the night
To come and grab you
It can creep up inside you
And consume you
A disease of the mind
It can control you
I feel like a monster
Throw on your brake lights
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't gonna play nice
Watch out, you might just go under

Everyone clapped. I have to admit, that was pretty fun! I love that song. It's fun to sing and dance to because it has an awesome beat.
"Bella gets to choose who's next!" Alice says.
"Okay...hmmm... Rose!"
Rose got up and she chose a song! I love this song too! It started with chiming bells, then guitar.
"Homecoming, I'm coming I'm coming home, I'm coming home I'm coming home, I'm coming home
My sweet mistake
Summer's over, hope it's not too late
I'm pacing, impatient
Up in my head
Taken back to the sidewalk where we met
And carved out our names
Do you remember that?
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart for you Descending, I'm spinning
Lost all defense
How could you swallow me again?
I left you, I meant to Couldn't let you in
Never mind a single word I said
Carve out your name
Do you remember that?
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you.
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart
You've got control of me
Is this the end of me?
'Cause I just can't cut up the strings
I'm coming back for more
Don't let your heart go
Please don't walk away
Homecoming, I'm coming, I'm coming back
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you.
I'm coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I'm falling, falling apart for you."
We all clapped for Rose. She is a good singer. She chose the next person.
"Jazz." He walked up to Alice, gave her a loving kiss, then chose his song. It started, then he sang.
"Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
But momma I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old
But cupid got me in a chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been awhile since we talked last and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love it when she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for sure
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man I swear
She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like here
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)"
That song must be about Alice. It relates to them so much. I looked over to her and saw tears in her eyes and a big smile plastered on her face.
"Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)"
Finally, the song ended. We all clapped. I gave him a high five. "Next, Edward," He walked up to Alice and chose his song. I silently heard Alice say, "Aww.", before the music started. He sang to it. The words made me want to cry. It was very heartfelt. All of it was apparently about me, all except the part about being alone, because he kept his eyes on my as he sung.
"Beauty over wisdom to fit in with their styles
Your Cinderella stories, for a price
Vanities of business built to please the unique
Silicon and stars collide; the rest will fall at night
[Chorus:]
Just as beautiful as you are
Its so pitiful what you are Visioning are stimulating to my eyes
You should have seen this coming all along
Your Cinderella syndrome, full of lies
Your insecurities are concealed by your pride
Pretty soon your eager will kill what's left inside
[Chorus]
(Beautiful)
It's so pitiful what you are
(Pitiful)
As beautiful as you are
(Should have seen)
You should have seen this coming all along
You're everything that's so typical
Maybe you're alone, for a reason
You're the reason
So pitiful what you are
Should have seen this coming all along
(Beautiful)
Just as beautiful as you are
(Pitiful)
It's so pitiful what you are
(Should have seen)
Should have seen this coming all along
(Beautiful)
Its so pitiful what you are
(Pitiful)
As beautiful as you are
(Should have seen)
Should have seen this coming all along"
He had an amazing voice. I didn't cry, but he saw my emotions. He winked at me. He, then, chose who sung next.
"Lizzie."
"I don't know. I'm not a good singer."
"Yes you are, Liz. Just go be yourself" I say.
She got up and chose her song and it was, of course, Linkin Park. It begun. She sung to it.
"[Chorus:] There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem
[Bridge:] To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
[Chorus]
Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
Against my will
I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]"
She really is a good singer. She just doesn't see herself clearly.
"Ash, you go next."
She got up and saud, "I'm gonna sing a screamo song!" I laughed. It was totally Ashlynne. I should've seen it coming. She chose her song. It started. (I don't know the different verses of this song, sorry it went into one paragraph, the whole chapter did... I spent about an hour fixing it for you all)
"silence screams, 'you're just so beautiful in blue' breathless stares escape your undying eyes are you blind to my sorrow and sympathy? a piece of me will die with your last breath... this will all be over soon for you are so lost inside glazed eyes long for the waves' embrace drawn to an end so near... far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice why are you trying to run away? my love, I can't find the words to tell you... drown all of your fantasies with your final broken promise silent angel crashes through sky, having lost sight of the stars regal me with your tales of lonely, bittersweet loss giving up comes too easy when hope is gone I'll walk away so you can choke on your dying breath but if you side against me, to hell with you... far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice why are you trying to run away? my love, I can't find the words to tell you... the fear has stolen her heart as she wakes from her dream treacherous ink finds her lungs, seizing her screams numb hands now reach too late to take back the light far away are days when you smiled just to hear my voice why are you trying to run away? my love, I can't find the words to tell you... far away are days when you smiled... seas cry out butchering this tragic soul without hope their frailty is broken and now fades into the blue..."
We all were shocked. She finally perfected it. She was really good. We all clapped, and I gave her a hug.
"You finally perfected it! Good job, Ashiee!" I say.
"Thanks! Practice makes perfect, right?" I nodded as I laughed. Ashlynne chose Emmett to go next.
"Emmett."
"BOOYAH!!" Emmett screamed in enthusiasm as he got up out of his seat. He walked up to Alice and chose his song. Alice busted out laughing.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing. You'll see." Emmett answers for her.
The music started. Oh. My. God. He's actually going to sing that? Wow. He started to sing.
"I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad
I know your type (your type)
Yeah daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (one bite)
Let me shake up your world
Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad I know your type
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner
With your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble but you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad (bad, bad)
Good girls go bad (bad, bad)
Good girls go
Boy you're dangerous
Yeah you're that guy (that guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me want to lose control
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad (bad, bad)
Good girls go bad (bad, bad)
Good girls go bad
Oh she got a way with them boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with them girls in the back
Actin' like they too hot to dance
Yeah she got a way with them boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with them girls in the back
Actin' like they too hot to dance
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Them good girls go bad yeah
Good girls go bad I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad (bad, bad)
Good girls go bad (bad, bad)
Good girls go"
We all had our jaws dropped. He sang all of the girl parts in a high voice that was supposed to be girly, but wasn't. It was just funny. It finally ended. Everyone except Emmett busted out laughing.
"What?" He asked.
We just continued laughing. We all were rolling on the floor laughing so hard, that we all had tears in our eyes. Emmett just stared at us.
"Taylor goes next." Emmett said with a pout.
She got up and chose her song.(I don't know the verses to this song either, but i fixed it this much. Yay!)
"He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything
I need to hear and it's like I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2am and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2am and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you"
Wow. Country is totally her style!
We all clapped and cheered for Taylor! Ha ha. That's funny. Taylor sang a song by Taylor Swift. I thought to myself. Taylor chose Alice to go next. Alice chose her song.
"Emmett, can you help?"
"Sure with what?"
Alice whispered in his ear. He nodded. She began to sing.
"[Alice:]
Oh, Oh…
Never find a love like this
Oh, Oh…
Never find a love like this
We go back so far,
swinging in your back yard,
all the things that we used to do
We were cool back in high school ooh I really liked you,
must have been your attitude.
[Chorus:]
That's why you keep on running in and out of my mind.
As the years they'll roll by,
Baby, now I know why I keep coming back to you.
You're the only one that knows me,
love it when you hold me,
never find a love like this
Let me hear you sayI'll never be lonely,
look at what you've shown me,
never find a love like this
Well this life tried to keep us apart you keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me,
wrap your world around me,
never find a love like this.
All the guys tried to take me,
you're the one who saved me,
I feel like I owe you my life.
And as strange as it may seem,
I'll go if you take me I'm willing to sacrifice.
[Chorus]
'cause this life tried to keep us apart, you keep calling me back to your heart.
Let me hear you say,
aren't you glad you found me,
wrap you all around me,
never find a love like this.
[Emmett;]
May never find a love, love, love love like this,
that still make me think about my middle school kiss.
I sit here in this chair and I wish for you not to leave me now.
My friends they always told me not to make you my wife,
man they was putting you down.
And now they see we rolling,
me and you, we strolling,
they don't wanna come around.
[Alice:]
Let me hear you say, Oh, oh…
you're the only one that knows me,
love it when you hold me,
never find a love like this.
Let me hear you say,
now I'll never be lonely,
look at what you've shown me,
never find a love like this.
When this life tries to keep us apart, you keep calling me back to your heart.
Let me hear you say,
I'm so glad you found me,
wrap you all around me,
never find a love like this,
Never find a love like this…
Oh, oh...
Never find a love like this...
Oh, oh...
Never find a love like this...
Oh, oh...
Never find a love like this...
Oh, oh...
Never find a love like this...
When this life tried to keep us apart, you keep calling me back to your heart,
Let me hear you say,
Oh, oh…
Never find a love like this.
Oh, oh…
Never find a love like this"
We all clapped. I knew that this song was sung about Jasper. Sabrina went next, and she sung her favorite song, "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage The Elephant.
"I was walking down the street,
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said 'I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice,
And you can go and send me on my way.'
I said 'You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?'
She looked at me and this is what she said,
'Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.'
Not even fifteen minutes later
I'm still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
Then he walks up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
He said 'Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice.'
I said 'You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?'
He said 'There ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.'
Now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same,
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.
'Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.'"
By the time we finished, it was time for bed. I don't have a room yet, so I changed into my sleepwear and brushed my teeth in the bathroom. I walked to Edward's room. I knocked on his door twice and he answered a few seconds later.
"Hello, love." He greets me.
"Hey. Can I sleep with you tonight? I'm afraid that if I sleep with Alice or Rose that I'll be attacked with beauty products." I say. He laughed.
"Sure, of course." he opened the door wider so I could get in he stopped me in the middle of the doorway. "Bella." I stopped. He looked me deep in the eyes. "You don't need beauty products." I blushed.
I walked into his room. His room is still very neat. How does he do that? His room is neater than mine. I shrugged off that thought and sat down on his bed. He sat down next to me and kissed me lightly, but passionately. I didn't want to pull away, but I had to for two reasons.
One, so I wouldn't get carried away. Two, for air.
We laid down, me in his arms and his face in my hair. I cuddled into his chest. The last thing I heard was him humming an unfamiliar tune in my ear. I, then, fell into a deep slumber.
Sorry, if you got an email saying tat there was a new chapter, and then when you clicked on te link it wasn't there. The reason for that was because most of the story ended up in one paragraph! So; I deleted it, edited it, and re-posted it. Sorry for the delay.
Yes, I know, this chapter was long! What did you think?
The songs were:
Disturbia-Rihanna
Homecoming-Hey Monday
Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast in America-Gym Class Heroes
Beautiful-10 Years
Beautiful In Blue-Alesana
