Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't written in a while! There is a problem… I don't have any reviews so If I have any fans out there I need them to review so I can personally thank them.
I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF THE SONGS I USE! If Bella says she wrote them then she does (in the story) but if I put the artists name then she doesn't (in the story) Enjoy chapter 3!
Recap: I ran off. I ran right up to Dr. and Mrs. Cullen and begged for them to forgive me. "I am so, so sorry for sneaking out! I won't do it again! I just had to be here and I needed the money! I didn't know if you'd let me do it or not! I would say that I wont do it again but I REALLY need the money and im already registered" and with that I braced myself for the beating that was sure to come. Then I was pulled into a hug.
After the unexpected hug, I looked at the Cullens in disbelief. If I had pulled something like that with Charlie, he would have beaten me for sure. Then my curiosity got the better of me.
"You're not mad at me?" I asked skeptically.
"Of course were not mad at you sweetie." Said Mrs. Cullen
"We were just worried when we saw you running into the forest" said Dr. Cullen with a giggle. Then I heard a booming yell.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" yelled Emmett. Then he held up his hand. I then remembered what Jake had taught me and I slapped his hand. After I thanked them I heard the word "Trouble" being chanted through the crowd and I groaned. Then Dr. Cullen said "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" probably those doctors instincts kicking in.
"No im fine but that song their chanting is one of mine and I really hoped they wouldn't ask for it this time." I replied.
Then Jasper spoke up. "Why would you hate one of your own songs?"
then I shook my head while saying "My sister used to sing Pop music before she died and Charlie loved her A LOT so he made me sing it. But I hate Pop music. But he made me write and perform Pop songs and 'Trouble' is one of them. And the main rule here is to always obey to encores." Then I walked toward the stage and got an electric guitar and the drummer walked onto the stage.
No attorneys
To plead my case
No opiates
To send me into outta space
And my fingers
Are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I disturb my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
You think your right
But you were wrong
You tried to take me
But I knew all along
You can take me
For a ride
I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
If you see me coming
Down the street then
You know it's time to
Go (and you know it's time to go
cause here comes trouble)

After the song was over, I bowed to the audience and thanked them. Then I walked off the stage to be met by Nick. And he said "you owe me $5 Swan" then like a good sport I gave him the money and walked away to be met by the Cullens.
"Bella what was the meaning of that?" DR. Cullen asked.
"I am sorry Dr. Cullen, I had to sing it" I said quietly.
"First of all, its Carlise and second, what was the meaning of giving that man money" then I sighed relieved.
"We have a bet every week. If they ask me to sing that song, I give him $5 but if they don't he gives me 10. Because it's more rare for them not to ask for that song. Apparently, I'm the only one who hates it." Then everyone stared at me in disbelief. Then Emmett and Jasper enveloped me in a hug. "Finally, someone who will bet with us!" Said Emmett and Jasper at exactly the same time. Then everyone laughed. But I cringed. I hate hugs. They remind me of all of the touching Charlie does to me.
Alice spoke. "I loved that song! Why do you hate it?" then I sighed.
And said "I like songs with meanings. That's why I don't listen to the radio or Pop music. I like the songs I listen to or sing, to be about something. I hate singing songs that make me sound materialistic or like the all American cheerleader. That's why I have two songbooks. The one that Emmett read out loud, and the one that Charlie saw with all of the cookie-cutter Pop songs." Then I looked at everyone's faces and they were all surprised to say the least. Then Emmett said "So what I read out loud, wasn't a diary?"
"No it wasn't. I just got a book that said 'Diary' on it because usually someone wouldn't read someone else's diary." Then my stomach growled.
"Lets get the hungry girl home" said Mrs. Cullen.
At home, Mrs. Cullen made me a grilled cheese sandwich and I gulped it down faster than I thought impossible. Then I went to go wash the plate, when Mrs. Cullen stopped me.
"Dear, you don't have to wash that. Ill do it." Then I thought about arguing but the face she was giving me was one of those faces that you couldn't turn down if you tried. So I just said "Thank you Mrs. Cullen." When I went to walk away, she pulled me back very gently by the arm and spun me around.
"What did Carlisle tell you about calling us that?" then I was reminded of Charlie and I cringed waiting for a slap across the face but then, she ruffled my hair and pushed my playfully toward the stairs.
In my room, I was playing my guitar very gently, just playing around with it when Edward walked into my room.
"Hi." He spoke nervously.
"Hi" I spoke back more quietly then he did.
"I wanted to ask you if I could hear that song that Emmett started to read out loud."
"I don't think that would be such a good idea" I whispered.
"Please?" then he got up and took the song book from my bookshelf, opened it to the right page and laid it in front of me on the bed.
"Please don't make me do it" I said again. Then he shot me the most dazzling smile and said
"Please?"
"I don't want to" I said quivering.
Then he said "ISABELLA SING THE SONG"
Flashback: "Charlie I don't like that kind of music" I said very low.
"ISABELLA SING THE SONG!"
End of Flashback
I flinched at the memory and started playing.
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me-
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past is in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
So don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
By the end of the song I was crying. Then I looked up and through the tears I saw that the whole family was here. All of the women were leaning onto their significant others for support. And Edward was still sitting on my bed. I muttered an Excuse Me and I ran out of the room and into the bathroom. I sat on the covered toilet seat and just held my head in my hands. Then I heard three sharp knocks and I didn't respond. Then Rosalie walked into the bathroom and lifted me off of the toilet seat. She sat down and pulled he onto her lap.
"What's wrong sweetie?" she asked me
"I told him I didn't want to sing the song. It makes me cry every time." I replied through sniffles.
"Is it ok if I ask what that song was about?" she asked kindly.
"Its about how my parents loved my sister more than me. And how I had to follow her dream after she died but I was always the second best." Then Rosalie just nodded but I kept going.
"I wanted to love my sister and my parents I just couldn't do it. Every time I tried they would do something to me and I would not like them again. But I miss them. I mean I miss my mom and my sister. That's why I cry every time I sing that song or even think about it. I feel bad for not liking my family." Then I cried into her chest probably ruining her shirt.
After about 30 minutes in the bathroom, we came out to an anxious family. I just told them I was okay and went to bed. The last thoughts I had that night were about Edward. 'I cant believe he made me do that against my will' and 'He's just like my FATHER'
That was chapter three! I hope you liked it! The songs were Trouble by P!nk and Shadow by Ashlee Simpson. What do you think so far? I need reviews. I will update as soon as I can. Do you think Bella should forgive Edward right away or let him sweat a little? LET ME KNOW! REVIEW
