A/N

Sadly, I didn't get many reviews last chapter. The only reviews I got were from my two best friends (in real life), I love them dearly and their opinions mean a lot to be, but I want other people's opinions. So please review. You don't need an account and it doesn't have to be a long review either – just tell me if you like it or not. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any Twilight characters. I would like to thank (AGAIN) Stephenie Meyer for allowing us FanFiction addicts to use her material.

Nor do I own or claim to own any Flyleaf or Disturbed songs, lyrics, or concert techniques.

I'll shut up now. Promise.



Chapter 3

BPOV

"You warm enough?" Jacob asked. We were sitting in his VW Rabbit, the car he had proudly rebuilt himself. Jake was my cover-up for me tonight. My father thought we were going to a movie. We were really going to a concert and then clubbing. I owed Jacob big time for tonight.

"Toasty. You excited?" I asked, wanting to know if he was only doing this for me, or if he truly did want to go out.

"Hell yeah! I'm going out with a beautiful girl who is going to sneak little underage me into a concert, clubs, and maybe a bar." Jacob looked over and smiled at me. We had pulled over at the bottom of my road so we could talk, without Charlie coming out and yelling at us. Well, maybe we pulled over for a bit more than talking.

I leaned over and kissed him and he kissed me back. Jake slid closer to me, and put his hand in the small of my back, bringing me closer to him. When I finally pulled my lips away from his, I was breathless. And by the sounds of it, so was he.

I smiled at him. He kissed my forehead.

"Wanna go?" He asked.

"Yes, please." I said, content.

The ride to Port Angeles was practically silent. But it wasn't awkward. That was the nice thing with Jacob. Things were rarely awkward. He gave me my space without ignoring me and he cared enough but wasn't nosy. He was almost perfect. But I made sure he wasn't perfect, because I'd had experience with perfect people. They say they love you, and then they leave.

*Cough* EDWARD *Cough*

Jacob pulled into the jam packed parking lot. There were barely any spots left. After a few minutes of driving around, we found a parking spot and got out. Jake came around to the other side and helped me get out. He put his arm around me and we walked to the venue. I didn't normally allow this but hey what the hell. I was sick of denying that Jacob and I didn't have "a thing". And I had finally come to the realization that I needed to get over Edward. I didn't really want to spend the rest of my life pining over him.

We had our tickets scanned and had no problem getting in. Jacob started to pull me back to where we would have sat but I tugged his hand and he stopped. He looked at me with a confused expression.

"What?" He had to yell to be heard over the noisy crowd. And the concert hadn't even started yet!

"I want to go down into the mosh pit!" I told him on a whim. This new badass Bella was even scaring me!

"You sure?" Jake asked, "It's crazy down there!"

"Yeah, I'm sure! Let's do it!" I said back.

We worked our way down to the mosh pit. I had never been to a concert, let alone moshing. I would probably die tonight, but oddly, I was okay with that. Once we finally got as close to the stage as possible, I took in my surroundings. I was constantly being pushed and bumped into by tons of people. A lot of them were kind of scary looking with piercings on every available facial surface and tattoos on everywhere that couldn't be pierced. Not to mention all the colored hair and chains hanging from the pants. But, there were a lot of normal looking people too. And to my utter shock, a bunch of tween girls that didn't seem supervised at all. And I had the death grip on Jacob's hand during all of this, embarrassingly enough.

"Sorry." I said. I looked up at him with an apologetic smile.

"It's fine. I'm glad you're finally warming up about 'us' being in public together now. It's a relief." His eyes showed that he said this in all honesty.

"You're right. I am. I love you, Jake." What a weird time for that to slip out of my mouth.

"And you know I love you. I've told it to you before." He replied. That was true. Jake always had told me he loved me; and he never expected it from me in return.

I kissed him, for once not really caring if people saw. It was nice.

The lights dimmed and the already dark room got practically pitch black. The familiar lyrics of Flyleaf's 'All Around Me' came all around me and Jacob. Once you got over how scary it was here in the pit, moshing was actually kind of fun. The energy of the crowd swallowed me up. I danced with Jake, well as much as possible - the people in the mosh pit were packed like sardines in a can.

After Flyleaf was done, Disturbed came on. They started off with 'Perfect Insanity' one that described me.....now. I pulled Jake's head down to my level and yelled "I'M GOING TO GO THE BATHROOM AND GET SOME AIR, OKAY?" I had to scream right next to his ear, for any hope of him hearing me.

"YEAH." He screamed back. "WANT ME TO COME WITH YOU?"

"NO THANKS, I'M GOOD. SEE YOU IN A FEW."

I pushed my way out to the hall outside of the area where the concert was. It was a relief to have my own personal space again. I made my way to the bathroom and splashed some water on my warm face. It helped a little. Once I was done, I made sure I still had my ticket, and went outside for some fresh air. I opened the door and thank God, there was a cool night breeze. It was so refreshing. I loved the night. I loved its clarity and how it made me feel so close to nature.

I fished my ticket out of my pocket and went back to the front door. I gave it to the person at the door and started to make my way back in.

An arm jutted out across the doorway, preventing me from going inside.

"Sorry, but there's no re-admitance." The burly-looking guy said to me.

"You're kidding right? I wasn't even out here for two whole minutes!" I said back to the guy, starting to get a bit peeved.

"Sorry, those are the rules. You got out - you don't come back in."

"Please say you're just messing with me. My friend, well actually, my boyfriend is in there and he was expecting me back now. I need to get back in there!" My voice unintentionally got a bit frantic.

"You can't." His tone of voice told me that that decision was final.

I stolled off and kicked a beer can, that was laying on the ground, as hard as I could.

"Dammit!!!" I screamed. Screaming and throwing a tantrum wasn't nearly as helpful as I thought it was going to be.

"And what did the poor beer can do to deserve being kicked?" A smooth voice from behind me asked.

"Screw you," I mumbled. I then turned around to see who was speaking to me.

I must have stood there awestruck for at least five minutes.

I then heard Jacob behind me saying, "Bella! What happened? The guy at the door said he wouldn't let you back in and I came to get you, but you weren't........" Jake's voice trailed off when he saw me and the person who I was gawking at like an imbecile.

"What are you doing here?" Jacob asked, his voice all pissy.

Edward. Cullen. That's who the voice belonged to.

What the hell?
