A/N: Hey there. I'm going to spoil you all, but here is another chapter. Eat it up! They won't always come this fast. The chapter song for this chapter is Colbie Caillat's Fallin' for you.
BPOV-
It was almost five weeks ago that we received our nomination letter. So much had happened since then. Things were beginning to change and in a good way. I didn't have to hide with Edward anymore. We went out and toured the city and held hands and were photographed, but we didn't really care anymore. In fact Edward would smile every time he was caught by a camera kissing me. I would never understand him, but I loved him, what could I say. I hadn't told Edward that I loved him, not after what he asked me that night. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I didn't say the words but I tried to show him how much I cared for him, and he did the same.
We weren't the only ones changing. With the whole month of December to shop in new York Alice was ready to take full advantage of it. Not only shopping for our dresses for the Grammys but also shopping for her wedding dress. Alice's wedding. All I could say was poor Jasper. I knew that my best friends were deeply in love, and that Jasper would give Alice the moon if he could, so he was a good fiancé and said the appropriate 'yes dear's and 'whatever you think is best's. He was a good guy. With the wedding coming in May and the talks of a sophomore album for the group up in the air there was a lot of planning happening.
It had been at a band meeting that we decided what we were going to do. Carlisle was on speaker phone in the center of our group as we talked out what we were going to do.
"Alice. You guys deserve a honeymoon. We are not going to force you guys to hurry back to record that's stupid." Rose argued and I agreed with her. And surprisingly so did Emmett although really I think Rose could suggest we would all dance around in chicken suits and Emmett would say he'd pay for them.
It was Carlisle who approached the subject first. The reaction of the public and the fans to me personally was overwhelming at times. The people at the record company had noticed and had been pressuring Carlisle to ask me for some time if I would be willing to put out a solo album.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. "I can't leave the band!" I almost screamed and looked up at my friend in horror.
"I would never ask that Bella. I could never ask you to leave your friends. What I'm asking if, while Alice and Jasper take a break to celebrate their marriage, you would be willing to record your own album. Then after they get back you can record with the group again."
"Bells." Jasper said cutting off the immediate rejection I was about to spout. I looked up at my friend. He smiled at me. "Bells think about it for a minute." He paused to let me think.
"What do you guys think?" I asked my friends. They all said that I should do it. That they would support me no matter what. So I had told Carlisle yes. A few days later in New York I started recording music for my new CD.
Between recording and shopping with Alice there was very little time for much else, but I made time. I made time to see the sights and go to interviews, lots and lots of interviews. They would have been monotonous after awhile if Edward hadn't decided that he was always going to go with me.
It was after the people's choice awards and while I was still recording the rest of the band went back to LA for the awards. They would be staying out there and would meet us at the airport when we flew out this week for the Grammys. It was the day before we were going to fly out and I had one last interview. And it was for Live with Regis and Kelly. It was an early morning show I had told Edward that he didn't have to come but he wouldn't listen at all. I rolled my eyes at him as he grumbled into his coffee cup in the dressing room of the studio. Kelly stopped in before the tapping to talk a little and introduce herself and Regis wasn't far behind her. I was waiting in the wings while they taped the majority of the show as I waited for my turn.
"We have a very special guest with us today don't we Kelly?" Regis asked his co-host.
"We do indeed. We have with us, two time people's choice winner and Grammy nominee Bella Swan." I pecked Edward once on the lips and then headed out of the hall to the stage. Edward when I sat down I realized that Edward was just off camera, but still in my sightline. I smiled at him again as I sat down and said my hellos to both of the hosts.
"So Bella…How are you doing this morning?" Regis asked as I took my seat.
"I'm fine. I've had my two cups of coffee so I'm good to go." I joked and the audience laughed with me.
"That's good." He smiled at me.
"Bella tell us what's it like being a People's choice winner and a Grammy nominee." Kelly asked me with her typical energy.
"It's amazing. It's our first nomination so it's that much more special." I said lamely. God, could my responses be anymore pathetic? Maybe I shouldn't ask that question.
"We didn't see you at the People's choice ceremony." She said in confusion.
"No I was still here in New York recording."
"So it's true what they're saying, is there going to be a Bella Swan album out soon?" She hoped right onto my response.
"Yes." I answered with a smile.
"So what brought that on?" Regis asked.
"Well our drummer Alice and our bassist Jasper are getting married in May and we simply wouldn't let them cut their honeymoon short so we cut a deal with the record company that would allow the contract we signed to consider me putting out a solo album while we delay the recording of Twilight's sophomore album." I explained in length.
"Let's talk Grammys." Kelly bounced ready to change the subject.
"Okay." I smiled. She reminded me of Alice.
"You already have your dress ready?" She asked me. So much like Alice.
"Yeah. It's already in LA waiting for me. I wish I could tell you what it looks like but I was told to keep it a secret." I smiled as I thought of Alice's vauge threats to my personal health if I let it slip.
"You were nominated five times correct?" Regis asked taking a sip of coffee.
"Yeah that's right."
"Wow." He said setting his cup down.
"That's what I said. I still can't believe it to be honest."
"Really?" He seems surprised by my response.
"I'll never cease to be surprised by the reaction to us."
"Now your band Twilight was nominated for two categories, and you were nominated for three separately correct?" Kelly asked.
"Yeah."
"What's that like?" At first I wasn't sure what her question was really asking but then I just guessed and went with it.
"I was shocked honestly, but honored. As the song writer, it's nice to get that recognition, but also it's strange to be nominated without my band."
"Now the catagories you were nominated for were?" Regis asked.
"'Best female pop vocal performance', 'Record of the year' and 'Song of the Year',." I recited. I had said them so many times now it was almost nothing to answer that question.
"Now what is the song of the year for?" He asked again.
"That was for the song Fences. It was our second single. And actually the video that won at the VMA's."
"Really?" He asked again.
"Now does that song have a story? All the best songs have stories." Kelly cut in.
"Yes actually that song does have a story."
"Really now?" Regis asked smiling at his co-host.
"What is the story?" she asked excitedly. Alice and her would get along perfectly.
"Well I haven't exactly told anyone what the story is."
"Why's that?" She asked me.
"Well I…I'm not really sure."
"Can you tell us now?" She asked eagerly.
I glanced over to where Edward was. "I suppose I could."
"Okay so what's the story behind the song?"
"Well like most good girl songs I actually wrote it about a guy."
"Really?" Regis asked again. It seemed to be his fall back question.
"Yeah. Listening to it, you probably couldn't tell. It later became like the group mantra, but it wasn't until later."
"So you wrote it about a guy. Do you still know this guy?" Regis asked.
I could feel the heat come to my cheeks and I hoped that I was blushing too much. "Yes I do. I know him much better now than I did when I wrote the song."
"Really? Could it be the guy just off camera?" Kelly asked with a glance at me and then at Edward.
"Possibly." I answered looking down at the ground.
"Why don't we bring him out Kelly?" Regis asked his co-host.
"If he wants to? Do you want to honey?" Kelly asked Edward off stage. I was shocked as Edward came out with I smile on his face. A stage hand got him a stool to sit on next to me. "Ladies and Gentlemen Edward Cullen." She said as he leaned in and kissed my cheek and sat down. "Isn't he just the sweetest?"
"I think I'll keep him." I said with a laugh.
"Well that crushed the hopes of every single woman in the world." She said dramatically. "So now that he's out here. Why did you write the song about him?"
"Well I was angry at him."
"Is that true?" Regis asked Edward.
"Happens a lot." Edward said with a smile for the man. I smacked his chest and continued the story about how I wrote the song and how quickly it was recorded.
After a few more minutes she turned toward the Camera. "Don't forget to watch Bella and Twilight at the Grammys in a few days. We'll be right back after this break." We waited until the camera man said we were clear and then we shook hands with Regis and Kelly and headed off the stage.
When we were off camera and in the hall that lead to the dressing rooms where we left our things I pulled on Edward's hand for him to stop before we got there. He smiled and walked toward me and snaked his arms around my waist. "Was that song really written about me?"
"Yes." I said smiling up at him.
"I feel so cheated."
"Really and why is that?"
"I was playing a song that was about me this whole time." I laughed and stood on my toes to kiss him. "What was that for?" He asked as I pulled away.
"For being amazing."
"Well I knew I was amazing."
"Don't ruin the moment please."
"Okay." He said and he kissed me again.
We eventually made it back to the hotel we were staying at. I was finishing packing up a few of my bags that I hadn't shipped out with the bus when my phone rang. It was Rose. "What's up Chica?" I asked into the phone and I sat down on the bed next to Edward. He was laying down but his hand went immediately to rest on my leg. He rubbed circles on my knee and I smiled as I waited for Rose to answer. I heard muffled voices and the swish of fabric like she was covering the mouthpiece of the phone. I waited for a while. "Hello?" I asked again. I was starting to wonder if Rose had pocked dialed me when I finally heard a voice.
"Bella." Was the response I received. I barely recognized her voice.
"Rose?" It didn't sound like her. She was worried. No she wasn't just worried she was scared. "Rose what's wrong?" I asked. She was breathing brokenly. She was crying. I knew better than to rush her. I waited and as I waited I studied the background noise and I heard the distinct sound of a doctor being paged over an intercom.
