Chapter 37! Sorry it took me so long to update! I joined my school newspaper so I have a limited amount of time to write on FanFiction but I will try my hardest to update as much as I can! Read and Review!
Bella POV:
I woke up earlier then I needed to but I am so excited for today! I grabbed my clothes and walked quietly to the bathroom so I didn't wake anyone up. I turned on the shower so it warmed up. I laid my clothes on the counter and jumped in the shower. I washed my hair and my body and then let the steam clear my head. I was more then ready for today. I am ready to put Laruen in her place. She went to far this time. I turned off the water and got out of the shower, wrapping a towel around myself. I whipped the steam off the mirror and looked at myself. My cheeks are flushed from the heat of the shower and my eyes are shinning with anticipation for today. I smiled and dried myself off before putting on my clothes for the day which consisted of a purple dress that has a belt around the waist, a pair of purple leggings and a pair of black flats. I straightened my hair and put on a little bit of makeup to bring out my eyes. I glanced in the mirror satisfied and cleaned the bathroom. I put all my bathroom stuff in my room and then I walked down to the kitchen to start breakfast. I noticed two notes sitting on the counter and I picked them up after turning on the oven to preheat it.
Bella sorry I can't make it to your concert. I am sure you will knock their socks off kiddo.
-Dad
I shrugged my shoulders and glanced at the next note which was from my mom.
I'm sorry I'm not going to make it to your concert, Bella. I'm sure you will do great!
Love Mom.
Well everyone in the whole town is going to be there but my parents are not. How ironic. I walked to the fridge to get the stuff for breakfast to keep myself distracted and to keep myself from crying. By the time Jasper and Emmett emerged from their rooms I had the food all done and on the table. Emmett pulled me into a hug and Jasper whispered 'hello' through a yawn. I let out a giggle and we all sat down to eat.
"Where are mom and dad?"
"I don't know. They both left noted saying that they aren't going to make it to the concert but they didn't say where they were going."
"Oh that sucks that they won't be they to totally see you destroy Lauren!"
Emmett knew just what to say to make me feel better.
"Thanks Emmett and yes I am totally going to destroy her."
We all laughed before we sat in silence while we ate. After we finished I cleaned up so Jasper and Emmett could get ready since it was almost time to leave. Once they got dressed we all jumped in Emmett's car and made our way to Town Hall. We got there and there was almost no cars in the parking lot. The only other cars there belonged to and various other choir members and also Edward's car. Emmett parked by Edward's car and we got out. Edward got out and walked over to me.
"Alice and Rose are not going to come until it is time to start."
"Okay. Did you learn the three songs I gave you?"
He nodded and he pulled me into a hug. We made our way to the building and when we walked in turned to look at us.
"Oh thank goodness I thought you forgot about the concert!"
"No I didn't forget. Do you want us to practice in the backroom again?"
"Yes please and before the show I will give you the set list for the choir. I am just going to let you do your thing when you get up there I know I can count on you."
I smiled and we walked to the back room. Edward took a seat at the piano and I sat next to him on the bench while Jasper and Emmett pulled up chairs to sit in. We practiced for about an hour and just as Edward was finishing the last song, which I did not sing to,Ms. Bailey walked in.
"Guest are starting to arrive. When are your other friends going to be here?"
"They should be here very soon. Don't worry we will be ready by the time we are on."
"Oh I have no doubts. I am so excited! This is going to be the most interesting show yet!"
With a short clap she walked out closing the door behind her. A few minutes later Alice, Rose and Kasey walked in. Alice looked and Jasper as he smiled at her but I stepped between them. Alice glared at me and I assume so did Jasper but I wasn't facing him so I couldn't see.
"This has to wait until the end of the show or it won't seem real."
"But Bella I haven't seen Jasper in like two days!"
Alice pleaded with her eyes but I wasn't giving in. I softened my tone to show her that I felt bad but I made sure to keep an edge in it to make sure she knew I was not giving in.
"I'm sorry Alice but Lauren is smart. She will figure it out if you guys have your reunion before the actual reunion is supposed to be."
"Fine but don't think I am happy about it."
"Okay now when we are up on stage doing the Christmas songs I need you to smile but look dejected and sad at the same time. Like you don't want to be there but you have to be."
"I can do that. Is there anything else?"
"Um yes Jasper I need you to look guilty but again with a smile on your face."
"Sounds good to me. What is the set list going to be?"
"We are going to do all the Christmas songs and then Edward and I are going to do Iris and Crazier and three other songs and then Kasey, Edward and I are going to do the last song which is the Lauren song while Jasper hangs out with Lauren and when we get to one part in the song he is going to go to Alice."
"What part in the song?"
"Trust me when you hear it you will know."
They all nodded and then Ms. Bailey walked in to tell us we would be on in five minutes. We all got ready and Alice fixed my makeup quick and then we were out. We all stood on stage Alice on one end and Jasper on the other so they were as far apart as could be and then I walked up to the microphone.
"Well first I would like to wish everyone a happy Holidays and then I would like to introduce everyone. Starting on the left is Alice Cullen, Rosalie Hale, Emmett Swan, Edward Cullen, I'm Bella Swan and finally Jasper Whitlock. We are going to start off with the normal holiday songs and then I will explain the rest of the songs."
I stepped back between Edward and Jasper. We started singing and we got through all the holiday songs and everyone clapped and all that good stuff. After the clapping died down I walked back up to the microphone.
" Ms. Bailey wants this to be the most interesting show ever and I plan to make it just that. First I am going to sing Iris with Edward on piano and then the four songs after that are songs I wrote and then the last song of the show will be Kasey, who I am sure you all know, and I singing with Edward on piano so I hope you enjoy the rest of the show!"
Edward started playing Iris and I saw a couple people in the audience smile.
And I'd give up forever to touch you'Cause I know that you feel me somehowYou're the closest to heaven that I'll ever beAnd I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this momentAnd all I can breathe is your life'Cause sooner or later it's overI just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't comingOr the moment of truth in your liesWhen everything feels like the moviesAnd you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me'Cause I don't think that they'd understandWhen everything's made to be brokenI just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I amI just want you to know who I am
The audience clapped and when they finished Edward started playing Crazier.
I'd never gone with the windJust let it flowLet it take me where it wants to go toYou open the doorTheres so much moreI've never seen it beforeI was trying to fly but I couldn't find my wingsBut you came along and you changed everything
You lift my feet off the groundYou spin me aroundYou make me crazier, craizerFeels like im fallin'and IAm lost in your eyesYou make me crazier, crazier, crazier
I've watched from a distance as youMade life your ownEvery sky was your own kind of blueAnd I wanted to know how that would feelAnd you made it so realYou showed me something that I couldn't seeYou opened my eyesAnd you made me believe
You lift my feet off the groundYou spin me aroundYou make me crazier, craizerFeels like im fallin' and IAm lost in your eyesYou make me crazier, crazier, crazier Ohh
Baby you showed me what livin' is forI don't wanna hide anymore
You lift my feet off the groundYou spin me aroundYou make me crazier, craizerFeels like im fallin' and IAm lost in your eyesYou make me crazier, crazier, crazierCrazier, crazier,
Again the audience clapped and I waited until they finished to speak into the microphone.
"I wrote this song a couple weeks after I stared college and got to know Alice and well Rose who I already knew. But this song is for them, you guys are the best."
i like to be around you when you're not trying to be somebody and i like to hang with you talk about whatever we talk about don't care where we go what we do who you know what you knew it'll be okay if your hair is blue or purple or pink (chorus) don't have to be cool don't have to be smart don't need to know everything all the time it's alright if you're alittle bit out of it i don't care just want to be your friend i like to go to the mall and walk around with you laughing outloud and you like to go up to people and tell'm your cousin is somebody famous don't care who we see what they say you and me will be okay if we don't get caught by security (chorus) don't have to be cool don't have to be smart don't need to know everything all the time it's alright if you're alittle bit out there i don't care just want to be your friend i tell you what don't tell anyone else just having you here you know it helps me (chorus) don't have to be cool don't have to be smart don't need to know everything all the time don't have to be tough don't have to be cute don't need to know everything all the time it's alright if you're alittle bit out there i don't care i just want to be your friend don't have to be cool don't have to be smart don't have to be tough don't have to be cute don't need to know everything all the time anything anytime just want to be your friend just want to be your friend i like to be around you when your not trying to be somebody
I finished and I saw Rose and Alice both smiling and I smiled at them.
"This next song is for my mom. I know I am probably boring you with all this sentimental stuff but these songs mean a lot to me. My mom had to work today but I am sure if she could she would be here."
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat onI hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and runPast the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is goldI hug your legs and fall asleep on the way homeI don't know why all the trees change in the fallBut I know you're not scared of anything at allDon't know if Snow White's house is near or far awayBut I know I had the best day with you todayI'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so meanI come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keysAnd we drive and drive until we found a town far enough awayAnd we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their namesI don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at schoolBut I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with youDon't know how long it's gonna take to feel okayBut I know I had the best day with you todayI have an excellent father, his strength is making me strongerGod smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I amI grew up in a pretty house and I had space to runAnd I had the best days with youThere is a video I found from back when I was threeYou set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to meIt's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfsAnd Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide worldAnd now I know why the all the trees change in the fallI know you were on my side even when I was wrongAnd I love you for giving me your eyesFor staying back and watching me shineAnd I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to sayThat I had the best day with you today
I heard Emmett's protests of being older and I saw Rose smack the back of his head. I giggled and cleared my throat, taking a sip of water.
"This next song is for someone very special to me. A couple days ago he got mad at me because I have never written him a song. I told him I was working on one but I was actually already done with it. Emmett here you go!"
"Hell yes!"
Everyone laughed and then Edward started playing.
Friday night beneath the starsIn a field behind your yardYou and I are painting pictures in the skyAnd sometimes we don't say a thingJust listen to the crickets singEverything I need is right here by my sideAnd I know everything about youI don't wanna live without youI'm only up when you're not downDon't wanna fly if you're still on the groundIt's like no matter what I doWell, you drive me crazy half the timeThe other half I'm only tryingTo let you know that what I feel is trueAnd I'm only me when I'm with youJust a small town boy and girlLiving in the crazy worldTrying to figure out what is and isn't trueAnd I don't try to hide my tearsThe secrets, all my deepest fearsThrough it all nobody gets me like you doAnd you know everything about meYou say that you can't live without meI'm only up when you're not downDon't wanna fly if you're still on the groundIt's like no matter what I doWell, you drive me crazy half the timeThe other half I'm only tryingTo let you know that what I feel is trueAnd I'm only me when I'm with youWhen I'm with anybody elseIt's so hard to be myselfAnd only you can tellThat I'm only up when you're not downDon't wanna fly if you're still on the groundIt's like no matter what I doWell, you drive me crazy half the timeThe other half I'm only tryingTo let you know that what I feel is trueAnd I'm only meWho I wanna beWell, I'm only me when I'm with youWith you, oh, yeah
Emmett stood up and ran on stage pulling me into a hug. When he pulled away he had tears in his eyes.
"Thank you so much Bella! This is the greatest Christmas present I could ever get!"
"Your welcome Emmett."
He pulled me into one more hug before walking off the stage and over to Rose, who pulled him into a hug smiling at me over his shoulder.
"This last song is for Lauren Mallory. Lauren this is for all the hearts you broke."
I saw her eyes widen as I waited for Kasey to come on stage. Jasper grinned at Lauren's reaction and I grinned at his reaction. Kasey came and stood next to me and she smiled at Edward who gave her a thumbs up. He started playing the music and we waited for our queue.
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the topShe's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clockIt's a matter of time before we all run out...When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouthI waited eight long monthsShe finally set him freeI told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for meTwo weeks and we had caught on fireShe's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smileWhoa..l I never meant to bragBut I got him where I want him nowWhoa... it was never my intention to bragTo steal it all away from you nowBut God does it feel so good'Cause I got him where I want him nowAnd if you could then you know you would'Cause God it just feels so...It just feels so goodSecond chances they don't ever matter, people never changeOnce a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never changeAnd about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchangedI'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this wayWell there's a million other girls who do it just like youLooking as innocent as possible to get to whoThey want and what they like, it's easy if you do it rightWell I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!Whoa... l I never meant to bragBut I got him where I want him nowWhoa... it was never my intention to bragTo steal it all away from you nowBut God does it feel so good'Cause I got him where I want him right nowAnd if you could then you know you would'Cause God it just feels so...It just feels so good ...I watched his wildest dreams come true
Jasper stepped away from Lauren and walked over to Alice pulling her into a hug.Not one of them involving youJust watch my wildest dreams come trueNot one of them involving ...Whoa,l I never meant to bragBut I got him where I want him now ...Whoa... l I never meant to bragBut I got him where I want him nowWhoa... it was never my intention to bragTo steal it all away from you nowBut God does it feel so good'Cause I got him where I want him nowAnd if you could then you know you would'Cause God it just feels so...It just feels so good.
Once the song was over you could hear a pin drop in the room as everyone turned to look at Lauren. Every single one of my friends had a huge smile on their faces though. Lauren's face was bright red and she grabbed her coat and ran out the door. A couple of teenage girls stood up and started clapping which caused the rest of the audience to clap as well. Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett all ran on stage and we all celebrated our victory. Once the clapping had died down, Ms. Bailey walked on stage with a smile on her face and I moved out of the way so she could get to the microphone.
"Well this certainly was the most interesting show we have ever had. Bella you are an amazing singer and so are you Kasey. Edward great job on piano and as well as everyone else. Best show ever!"
The choir joined us on stage and we all held hands and bowed well the crowd gave one final clap. It felt so good to get that all out of my system and to do it in a way I love. I can finally get a good nights sleep again.
I made it a lot longer then usual since I haven't updated in a while even though there are a lot of songs. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE SONGS:TAYLOR SWIFT, KAITLYN, THE GOO GOO DOLLS AND PARAMORE DO! PLEASE REVIEW!!!
