BPOV-
Edward left. That thought sent a pang through my heart. I walked back to the house. I sat down on my bed and let the tears fall. I don't know how long I sat there but I was brought out of my thoughts by my cell phone.
"Hello." I said, hiding the tears as best I could.
"Hey Bella. It's Angela. A few of us were going to karaoke in Port Angeles. Wanna come?" I thought for a second.
"Sure" I said.
30 minutes later
We were sitting in the club when suddenly it was my name being called. I looked around at my friends and noticed that Jessica was smirking at me. I swallowed thickly and walked up to the mic taking it off the stand.
"Alright this is Bella and she will be singing "My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne." The person running the karaoke said. I looked at Jessica and noticed that she looked like she was waiting for some thing to happen.
'Maybe she's waiting for me to break down.' I thought to myself. I put my hands on the stand and took and deep breath as the music started.
My Happy Ending (Avril Lavigne)
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do [CD version]
All the shit that you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus]
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
[Chorus x2]
[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
Once I was done, I realized that I had been dancing around the stage and didn't fall once. I placed the mic back in the stand, smirking at Jessica, and started walking back to the group. Before I got there however, I was stopped by a man who introduced himself as Kenny Ortega, and he asked me if I would be his female lead in the movie, he was going to start working on call High School Musical. I thought that it might be fun, so I agreed. When I sat down and told my friends what happened all I could think of was.
'Maybe everything does happen for a reason.'
I was flown down to Albuquerque, NM where the movie was to be shot. I was told by Kenny that I was going to meet my co-star after I dropped my stuff off at my new house. They bought me a house. Ugh! I specifically told them that I didn't want them to spend any more money on me than necessary. Obviously, that went in one ear and out another.
I rolled my eyes as the limo was driven up the driveway to a like four story house. Like I needed that much space! I wasn't even allowed to get out of the car because they don't want the paparazzi to get anything on the newcomer to the movie world. Once the driver got my two bags into the house he got back into the driver seat and drove away from the house.
Once we got to the set I was whisked to my trailer with a vail over my face to keep my identity, again, a secret. I was suddenly hit with nerves so crippling.
' What if I mess up? What if the rest of the cast doesn't like me because I'm too 'normal and ordinary?'
Now- still BPOV- time skip: 6 months later-
I was standing beside Zac waiting for our que to walk onstage for my very first live interview, and I am fidgeting like crazy.
"Calm down, B." Zac said, calling me by the nickname he gave me the first day we met.
Flashback-
I walked into the studio and stood near the back, so I wasn't in the way of all the people bustling around. I went to take a step back when a group of like half a dozen people came by with a background in their hands and bumped into what felt like a wall. I heard a grunt and spun around to come face to face with the most amazing grey eyes I had ever seen. I started to apologize but got cut off by "Mr. Hotty" beating me to the punch.
"I apologize. I wasn't watching where I was going." He said. I blushed and said,
"No, it's all my fault. I'm a total clutz." He laughed, and I smiled at the sound.
"Well, it looks like we have a lot in common then." He replied. I started, then asked him,
"Wait, your clumsy too?" He laughed and replied with a question of his own.
"You think just because I'm famous that automatically means I'm not clumsy?"
I blushed and looked down, ashamed because that's exactly what I thought. I felt a finger under my chin gently lifting my face up til our eyes locked.
"Please don't hide your eyes, or your blush. They're both beautiful." He stared deep into my eyes almost like he was looking at the real me.
He smiled and was going to say something when his name was called. He grabbed my hand and kissed the top before smiling and walking away. But before he left the room completely, he turned around and said,
"Welcome to the movie B. I'm excited to get to know you." I smiled and watched til he left then turned around to look around set, but I couldn't quite get the huge smile off my face. I had never liked people calling me that, but with him it felt right. I suddenly couldn't wait to get started on the movie.
Present day-
"Now if you'll please welcome to the stage the cast of high school musical. Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, and Isabella Swan." We all walked out and sat down. I sat next to Zac on the love seat.
"And so, it begins" I thought.
