Falling

BPOV

One more hour! Just one more hour until we get to Seattle. One more hour until I can stop hearing Alice thank me, and gab endlessly about finally meeting Jasper. 'Her one true love, Oh she can just see it now', Gag.

" Oh Bella, I'm going to run right into his arms and-"

"What if he shoves you off?" I said as I cut her off.

"He wouldn't!" she said matter-of-factly. " And you know even if he did, it would take his whole bodyguard team to break my grasp"

The scary thing was, is that she's probably right, she has one strong hold for a little pixie of a girl. She is a strong person in general, in every way. Even emotionally, she was never a sap like me. That's why 2 months ago, when I got the news, I was surprised to even see Wonder Woman herself break down.

I couldn't see her like that anymore. She needed to be her bubbly bouncy self. That's why the wish I made was for backstage passes to The Eje concert. That turned her emotions around 180 degrees. She was jumping up and down when I came into her room with the tickets at hand. She only argued for about a second, until she realized I was going to the concert with her. Then she got in her "I told you so," and started squealing all over again.

She would get to meet this 'one true love of hers' without having to sneak in backstage, and her best friend would be there with her.

The whole time in the limo Make-A-Wish so kindly provided for us, even though I thought it was a bit too much, I was hoping I wouldn't faint and ruin all this for Alice. Yes, I was excited to meet the guys in the band, and get front row seats to their concert, but the excitement wasn't enough to make me forget about my illness. Severe illness.

I was actually more on edge about me fainting than usual because I started chemo again. It makes me kind of weak sometimes. Charlie wanted to try it at least once more before they gave up on me completely. Me? I didn't care, I just wanted to keep the people around me as happy as I could while I'm still here. This chemo wasn't as bad as the one I had to go through before. For one; my hair wasn't falling out. Not yet at least. It's getting thinner, but it's not falling out. Also, it's a pill this time, not the injections I had to go through last time. Just stay positive, right?

-

Finally, we arrived. I refused to have people see us get out of the limo, so I begged to get out near the back. Alice, though, wanted to make a scene, and show off the outfits she bought for us yesterday. Basically, she wanted to make this day as hellish for me as possible. Putting on the pointed black heels was torture enough, along with the dark skinny jeans and the tight black swoop-neck shirt under the faded gray-beige blazer vest, but now, she wanted me to show it off to the thousands of people that showed up an hour and a half hour to the concert. Now this, I don't know what you even call this, this was about 5 steps above normal torture, oh wait! I do know what you call this, this is Alice torture, ugh! I just got pixied, by the devil pixie herself.

Since I refused to go out through the front, we compromised, we could go through a back way, if I agreed to act polite today. I was a bit bewildered at her request though.

"What do you mean act polite? Am I rude?" I asked, stunned, for her to think of me as rude.

"No not rude, hon, just well, stubborn, and don't act like you don't deserve to meet them, or any of that crap, okay? Just be Bella." she answered.

"Whatever Alice, its not like we'll be any different from any other group of fan club girls to them, that go in there begging for autographs and hugs . They won't care what we do in there, we're just a part of their schedule they have to get done with."

"See there you go! So act like you're more than a few words on a planner! Because you are. You know you are. I know you are."

I almost started tearing up, but I couldn't. Alice did my makeup, and she would literally tackle me to the ground with eyeliner and mascara if I messed it up a bit. Its just that every time anyone shows any care for me I get all chocked up. I don't deserve their sympathy, I'm the burden for them all.

"Okay I get it. I'll try my best to act worthy. Okay? Just please don't make me get out in front of all those people, out of a limo!" I said, trying to get back to the matter at hand before I needed a tissue.

"Fine, but promise me one more thing before we get out."

"Yeah?" I asked skeptically

"Have fun, for yourself, please." she begged.

" I'll do my best" I promised.

"Thank You, so…You ready to meet my boyfriend?" That made us both chuckle as we stepped out the limo into a back door entrance, where there were still a bit of people waiting, but not enough to make me totally self conscious.

Once we got in, and showed our tickets and our Ids, we were sent into a waiting room where a bunch of girls, and actually a few guys, were lounging around on sofas. Alice and I took shared a chair at the back of the room. After about 5 minutes a woman with a headset and a clipboard came in and explained to wait in a line to a door to our right. As we were getting up she came up to me and Alice and asked "Isabella, and Alice?"

"Yes." We both answered, although it sounded more like a question.

"Make-A-Wish right?" We understood then, and I nodded. "Okay good, if you don't mind we are going to ask you two to wait until everyone is done meeting the boys, then you can go in. You can go wait in that door over there," she said as she pointed to the left "And we'll call you when they're ready, okay?"

"Umm? Sure." I answered, which also sounded like a question. I just agreed because it didn't sound like we had any other choice. But then it got me worried. So the guys knew I had cancer? Can't I go anywhere without someone knowing? Oh Great , I'm ready for the pity, bring it on! This thought suddenly put a damper to my mood, and Alice and the telepathic-like connection we have, noticed this.

"Don't sweat it Bell." She said reassuringly. "Act like your fine, and you'll be fine, and they'll see that your fine. Don't even think about it. You promised…Have fun." she added sternly.

"Okay, fine, Yipee-doo-dah-dayy!" I said jokingly, as we walked towards our special room. It was a fairly nice room actually with a TV, mini fridge, and coffee maker. With a bright orange sofa sitting on a deep red, circular rug.

"So can I just chill in here while you go meet your love?" I asked Alice teasingly.

"I'd wear one of your daily outfits before I let you do that." she answered, which roughly translates as a 'heck no'.

We sat in the room for about half an hour before, um? What's her face, came in and called us meet the boys in the other room she showed us earlier.

These people took my illness overboard, I mean come on! I'm at a concert for goodness sakes, I could've took standing in line, no biggie. I wasn't coughing and spewing up blood or anything. I wasn't even contagious!

Those were the thoughts I was having as we entered the room which looked like an even larger, and better equipped room than the one we were just in. It even had a foosball table. I kill at that game!

My eyes swept the room once, then I heard Alice squeal.

She threw herself into Jasper's arms, just like she said she would, and to my surprise, he hugged her back, and seemed… happy? That Alice ceases to amaze me. All my attention was towards her, but I did have the feeling I was being watched, and I was too caught up in all of Alice's happiness and excitement to acknowledge who was doing the staring. It didn't matter though, my best friend who did everything for, and with me, was now as happy as ever, which made me feel the same too.

"What took you guys so long from doing a show in Seattle? You kept me waiting." She stated accusingly to Jasper, that Alice was one bold girl.

"Oh, sorry." He replied simply.

Then she moved on to Emmett, who was shocked by that little sprite of a girl, and they shared a very powerful hug, and a few nice to meet you's. I turned my gaze back to Jasper for a second and realized he was smiling at Alice. Not in that creepy perverted way at all though, he did it kind of lovingly actually, which made me smile a bit more, if that was possible. How could I ever doubt Alice?

Alice. I then turned my gaze back to where she went, over to hug Edward I suppose. And I was right. She ran right into him, and, that was all I could remember of their hug together, I didn't remember her letting go, or stepping back, or her nice to meet you, because as soon as I saw Edward, I saw his eyes.

Sticking two emeralds in two beautifully white pearls wouldn't do justice to the sparkling magic of his eyes, I was lost in them.

And I was scared in them. They held something so powerful, I couldn't look away, I wanted to, so I could cover my deep red, redder than that carpet earlier, face, but I just couldn't, and he wouldn't look away either. It was scary, but not like horror movie scary, more like that scared-ness you feel, right before that best moment comes, like before a roller coaster. That thrill ride of your life.

EPOV

I felt a hard figure crash into me and wrap around me, then release and say some things, but I couldn't comprehend exactly what was going on. I just knew that I was staring at a very gorgeous girl. I wanted to move or say something to her, I wanted to touch her, to kiss her, but I couldn't move. My eyes wouldn't waver either. They were locked with hers. I don't think the lock to the biggest bank in the world could compare. But luckily, apparently Emmett had the key, because as soon as he practically shouted, "Whoa look how red she's turning!" Finally the lock our eyes held released, and I glanced around the room, and noticed 3 pairs of eyes staring between her and I, and one pair, looking everywhere but at me.

When I looked back at her ashamed figure, I felt ashamed myself. I was attracted to this girl, and had thoughts that went against the gentlemanly side of me. But the thing was, I didn't even know this girl. I knew her name, and I knew she wasn't in the best condition she could be in. But I didn't know about her.

What she liked, disliked, how she spent her days, how many pets she owned. I didn't even know if she was actually from Seattle.

And yet, this strong attraction to her was still there, and it was strong. She could've been a crazed fan of ours, the type I hated. But I had a feeling she wasn't, because she didn't start squealing when she walked in the door, which was another reason to have an attraction toward her.

And there were so many reasons to be attracted to her.

Just by her looks alone. For one, her hair, short and cropped, but still a luscious brown, she could be a model with her slender form, and she carried her self in such an awkward way that it was beautiful. And to top it all off the rouge that painted her cheeks made her all the more…irresistible.

She looked the part of a shallow, boy-crazed girl, but didn't act like it at all. She seemed quiet, timid, and shy. Like a little puppy testing to see if you would accept it or shove it off to the side.

Before my thoughts could go any further. Emmett, once again snapped me out of my reverie and walked up to Isabella with a big hug and a ,"Hi, You must be Isabella, nice to meet ya!"

She seemed shock at first, then she relaxed a bit, and then she looked like she couldn't breathe a bit.

It was cute, actually.

But this was my chance to cut in, and talk to her.

"Emmett, I think your choking her to death, and I heard that isn't good" I told Emmett both warningly and jokingly.

"Oh sorry," he gave her an apologetic smile and stepped back.

"Emmett tends to underestimate his strength sometimes, but really he's just a big lug of a teddy bear, forgive him." I said to Isabella.

"Oh" she replied shyly, "Mhmm, of course, I was just surprised, really." Her simple reply had me intrigued, I was hanging by her every word. This scared me a bit.

"Cool! I'm Emmett!"

"Yeah, I know," she chuckled nervously "nice to meet you too, by the way."

There was a brief pause and an awkward second so I took this as my turn for an introduction.

I stepped forward to her and stuck out my hand for a shake. I didn't know what else to do. Usually girls would be the one to jump right in and give us a hug, but in this case I had to be the one to make a move, and I wasn't sure how I would be received if I offered a hug (I wanted to though) so I just kept it safe with a handshake.

"Hello Isabella I'm Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, hi" I could tell she was nervous, I was too, especially after that stare down we had earlier. "Uhmm, you too…" she ended as if there was something else she had to say, I wanted to hear everything she had to say, so I tried to urge her on.

"Yes?" I asked politely.

"Oh, umm, its nothing, well, actually, its just that you guys all called me Isabella, I just well, umm prefer Bella, but that doesn't matter, never mind, don't mind me…" she replied as she looked about the room purposely not meeting anyone's eyes.

I was confused. Why would she think that doesn't matter?

As if reading my thoughts Emmett asked, "Why wouldn't that matter?"

"Yeah, Bella. Why wouldn't that matter?" Alice agreed, although the way she said it made it sound like she put some hidden meaning into it.

"Uhmm? Oh nothing, never mind, let me start over, Hi nice to meet you all too, you too Jasper" and as she said that Jasper whipped his head from staring at Alice, to Bella, and he smiled apologetically.

"Sorry I must've been daydreaming its nice to meet you." he replied.

"Oh no, its fine, I didn't mean to say that accusingly, sorry, but uhmm, uh-anyway" she stuttered. "Y-you guys can call me Bella." she then gave Alice a "there, you happy now?" look, to which Alice then smiled.

I could tell she didn't like the "all eyes on her" thing because she looked very uncomfortable under all our staring, and she fiddled with a piece of her hair.

I had to save her from this awkward silence after her little ramble so I replied to her with a "Well its nice meeting both of you, as well. Would you guys like a drink?"

I don't know where that came from, we never handed out drinks to these things, we usually took a few pictures, signed a few things, made small talk, said a lot of thank you's and the next group would strode right in.

I didn't want them to leave though.

Jasper looked like he wanted them to stay too. Emmett, was finding Bella entertaining as she tripped on our inch thick rug onto a sofa. He found it even more entertaining when I tried to catch her before she fell. Then landed right on my butt with her falling on top of me.

I'm usually a coordinated guy and all, but when I went to grab her around the waist, right as I did I felt this jolt. It was electric. It wasn't painful, it was just tingly, and it surprised me, which made me then trip over her feet, and land with a thud on the carpet.

Luckily, they all said a 'no thank you' to drinks because then we would be wet plus Bella would be on top of me.

"I am soo sorry" she said apologetically to me as she tried to get up, but her arm slipped and she landed right back on my chest. "I'm such a klutz!" she said, sounding exasperated, which I think she was because she then laid her head on my chest with a thunk and let her arms fall to our sides., as if giving up anymore effort to move.

"Really, its okay," it really was okay I didn't mind at all. I kind of wish she would just stay there. The tingly feeling was all over, I didn't want her to leave. She was so warm.

The closeness of my voice must have made her realize that she was still on top of me because she stiffened, and looked at me with wide eyes. I reluctantly pushed off the ground and stood both of us up. When we were finally vertical, I had to release my hold around her waist, though I really didn't want to. Not at all. But I did, and she quickly walked to claim the seat beside Alice who was laughing hysterically.

'Edward, You have to believe me, I am so sorry, you probably think I did that on purpose, I swear I didn't, I truly am a klutz…ask Alice!" she said as she hid her face in a pillow.

"Yup, she is!" Alice confirmed.

"Really, its okay. I believe you." I tried to tell her as convincingly as I could.

She lifted her head from the pillow then, and stared at me with those hypnotizingly deep eyes. Her face was still a little flustered. And her hair was in a disarray almost as bad as mine.

"Thank You." she said trying to convey that she really meant it with her eyes. And she did.

"For what?" I asked.

"Falling for me." she replied simply. "I mean falling with me, I guess, okay well, for catching me." she corrected.

But she had no idea how true her first response was.

"Any time," I replied, to all of her statements. Any time at all.

Author's second note: Yay!, longest chapp yet! more than 3,000 words! hahaa,I've been writing it on a course of 3 days, and tonight I was able to really write it. My computer has been occupied most of the time. I know this chapter went a little slow, and incomplete at the end, the next will start BPOV. and a little more backstage then during the actual concert. I was going to put a little more Alice and Jasper activity, but I'd already used up 8 pages on windows..haha. so I'll clear some of their stuff up next chapter. If you guys have any questions, or want to suggest anything, like if I put too little, or too much detail, or anything like that, let me know! Appreciate it!.

Thanks for the reviews, and keep 'em coming!

Thank you.
