Musical Love Chapter 4: The BallPart 1, a twilight fanfic

Chapter 4- The Ball/Part 1

I woke up about five times last night from nightmares about Charlie. His funeral would be in two days. My friends offered to come with me, but I'd feel much better if I went alone.

I slept in to about ten o'clock when I realized I didn't even have a dress for tonight! I dragged myself out of bed and got myself some breakfast. My phone rang right when I was finishing my last sip of orange juice.

Well what do you know? The collar ID read Keira.

"Yes Keira?"

"Guess what? Your going shopping with me! You can't refuse because you ned a dress and shoes for tonight!" she sang into the phone.

"You know what? I'm not gonna even bother getting out of this. I wouldn't want to go to the ball in jeans and a T-Shirt."

"Yes!" I had to hold the phone away from my ears to save my them from bleeding.

"If you don't stop screaming I'll find a way to get out of shopping!" That shut her up right away.

"Pick me up at twelve?"

"Yeah, you better be in front of your apartment at twelve sharp." She hung up before I could reply.

I sighed, I just wish I could sleep all day instead of going shopping. I washed the dishes and went in my bedroom to get dressed. I picked out white shorts, a purple camisole, and some white sneakers.

I watched some TV until five minutes till eight to get up off the couch. I got up, grabbed my apartment keys, and ran out the door. When I reached the last step, I fell flat on my face. I Keira's laugh nearby and raised my head to glare at her. She returned to glare. I sighed, frustrated and headed to her passenger door.

I got in the car and headed to Port Angeles with Keira. We had probably gone to about fifteen stores, before Keira dragged me into the sixteenth store.

"Come on Bells! This is the perfect store for your dress and shoes! They have the most beautiful masquerade gowns!" (The ball is a masquerade ball)

She dragged me to the racks and started throwing a bunch of dresses into my arms, when I gasped.

"What's wrong Bella?" Keira sounded worried. My mouth pulled up into a huge grin. Right before me was the perfect dress for me. It was screaming my name! (Dress on profile)

"Keira this is the perfect dress!" I squealed for the first time EVER, pointing at the dress before me.

"Oh my god Bells! It is perfect!" I picked the dress off the rack and examined it. It was a red gown, stopping at my ankles. The material was horizontal, ending at my waist. The material went down vertically starting at my waist. At the top of the dress, there was silver lining. I imagined myself dancing in it, without my clumsiness. That would be a miracle.

"Bella!" I was brought out of my day dreaming by Keira. In her hands I saw a pair of two inch silver heels. Well, good thing it was only two inches. Any higher and I'd be falling on my face once again. I tried them on along with the dress. I gasped. The dress looked amazing on me. I didn't really wear dresses this long, I always feared I'd trip on my dress. But this amazing dress was an exception.

"Oh Bella!" Keira was squealing like a six year old.

"This dress looks amazing on you! I found the perfect mask for you!" She shoved a glittering, silver mack into my hands. I put it over my eyes and smiled, realizing this mask matched perfectly with the shoes and silver lining.

"Bella, Kyle will so want you! You look gorgeous! I haven't even done your hair or makeup yet!" I inwardly groaned at the thought of Kyle. Did I chooses this dress to make him jealous? No, didn't have one thought about Kyle when I saw this dress. I sighed, I hated thinking about Kyle now.

"Bella all the guys will be going after you! Make Kyle suffer and make him jealous! If he even sees you dancing with a guy who isn't him, he'll be instantly jealous." All I did was nod my head.

I thought about what Keira had said while we driving back to my apartment. I didn't like to think of the times when Kyle got jealous. He'd usually start a fight, which didn't end well at all. I wasn't planning on making him jealous. Especially when he should know we're over.

It was six thirty when we arrived back at my house. I only tripped once on our way up to my apartment.

Right when I walked in the door, I was dragged into the bathroom by Keira.

"Take a shower and wash your hair. You better not make this hard for me."

She closed the door in my face without waiting for my response. I showered and walked out of the bathroom in my towel, only to be pushed into my bedroom.

"Get into your dress fast and then some into the living room." Once again the door was in my face. Why didn't she let me reply?

I got dressed and headed into the living room. Keira jumped up from her place next to the couch and bounded over to me. She sat me in a chair taken from my kitchen. Before me, was a bunch of hair products and makeup.

"Please tell me your not gonna put a bunch of makeup on me."

"Don't worry! I'm getting ready here too!"

I realized she was already dressed. I was amazed at the dress she was wearing. (Dress will be on profile) The light blue color looked great on her. The dress reminded me of a ball being held back in the eighteen hundreds.

I finally got to look at my reflection after about an hour. I slowly walked to the full length mirror at my appearance. I gasped, this was the greatest outfit I had ever worn. My hair was up in a tight bun, with two strands of hair curled to the side of my face. There was a hint of silver glitter on the strands. My mask could probably make it hard for people to identify me.

"Bella you need to move your ass out that door if you want to make it to the ball on time! It starts at eight thirty! It's almost eight!" She shoved me out the door and helped my down the stairs. She would do anything to prevent my dress getting torn.

We arrived there at eight thirty sharp. The passenger door was opened for me. The people working there tonight were supposed to help and greet us tonight. I took the worker's hand and walked towards the wide opened door with Keira.

We made our way through the crowds of people mingling, to where the rest of the band was supposed to wait for us. Keira turned around quickly, trying to block my view.

"Bella, how about we dance for a while? You guys don't have to perform for about half an hour." she said nervously.

"Keira, what don't you want me to see?" I pushed my way past her and saw what she was hiding. Kyle's "date" was that slut who he had cheated on me with. Now I understood why Keira didn't want me to see that. I was disgusted that his hand was rubbing her ass, while she was talking to Lucas. I felt like puking.

When his eyes met mine, his face looked curious. Of course, he didn't recognize me. I walked over to Reese, dragging Keira with me.

"Hey Reese, here's your date." I threw Keira to him.

"Uh, who are you?" Reese looked so confused, I started laughing hysterically. Reese, Lucas, that slut, and Kyle, all looked at me like I had three heads.

"You don't recognize me? I'm Bella silly Reese!" I ruffled his hair playfully and removed my mask to show him it was me. Reese was so surprise, I couldn't help but laugh again. I put my mask back on and looked at Lucas. His mouth was hanging open.

"Bells, you look amazing! I've never seen you wear anything like this." He gestured to my dress.

"Thanks Lucas." I reached up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. I turned towards the slut's voice.

"Oh my goodness! Where did you get that dress? It looks amazing on you!"

"Yeah it really does look amazing on you." I heard Kyle mumble, not wanting anybody to hear his comment.

"Thanks." I responded to the slut. Ok, it's about time I should find out her name right? I'm getting a little tired of calling her a slut.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Tiffany, Tiffany Swenson." She giggled at something Kyle had just whispered to her.

I held out my hand for her to shake. "I'm Bella Swan, nice to meet you." I wondered if she noticed the dryness in my tone. She shook my hand and giggled more for not fricken reason.

"Bells, how about we go dance?" she winked at me. That wink meant that she wanted me to go make Kyle jealous.

She came up and whispered "Time to put those dance moves I taught you to the test."

I gulped, while she laughed. She had taught me how to dance without falling but I never actually used those dance moves in public. I was glad she had taught me how to dance. I wasn't falling as much lately. I was confident I wouldn't fall tonight.

"Ok, well how about me meet back here in fifteen minutes?" I directed the question more at Lucas and Reese. They all nodded their heads and walked away. I noticed Kyle stayed close to us, trying to not be noticed by us.

"Excuse me but would you care to dance with me?" I turned towards the unfamiliar voice. Before me was Brendon Urie, from Panic at the Disco. I falt a smile playing at my lips. "Of course." He took my hand and we were dancing to a fast song. Luckily he caught me whenever I was about to fall on my face.

After about five minutes of dancing, I realized Kyle was glaring at Brendon. I threw a glare towards Kyle. He looked down, as if ashamed when he spotted me glaring at him. A second after that he grabbed Tiffany from a conversation and started dancing with her. He kept throwing glances at me, checking to see if I was jealous or something.

I pulled away from Brendon when it had been fifteen minutes.

"Sorry Brendon, my bands up soon and I need to meet them right now."

"It's ok, I have no problem with that."

I made my way to our meeting spot and found everyone there.

"Let's set up guys." They all nodded. We started moving our instruments to the stage once Madonna and Justin had gotten off. We were all ready to play, when Oprah came on the mic.

"Excuse me everyone, our next performance is Paramore!" Everybody clapped after Oprah's intro and we proceeded with our first song.

Misery Business- Paramore

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass it's tickin' like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months, she finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we'd caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feels so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way!
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like, it's "easy if you do it right"

Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And 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
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now...

Everybody cheered and clapped when the song ended. We proceed singing Emergency, Crushcrushcrush, and Fences. We got off the stage, all of us smiling. I was always smiling after we played together.

"May I have the honor of dancing with the loveliest woman on earth?" I smiled, recognizing that voice belonged to Edward. I turned around, my breathe stopped in my throat.

Edward was dressed in a tux, he was wearing a plain black and silver mask. He looked gorgeous in that tux!

I nodded my head and accepted the hand he held out for me. A slow song came on as he led me to the dance floor. A noticed Kyle glaring at our intertwined hands as we walked by him. Edward led us to the middle of the dance floor. His arm snaked around my waist, while I laid my head on this chest.

"You have such a beautiful voice." he whispered in my ear, sending chills down my spine.

"Are you performing tonight?" he nodded his head as we swayed on the dance floor. The song ended and he sighed sadly.

"What's wrong?" His expression was sad.

"I'm up next." Why was that such a bad thing?

"What's so bad about that?" I said, voicing my thoughts.

"I have to stop dancing with you then." I blushed at that, making him chuckle.

"You have such a beautiful blush."he said while rubbing his thumbs on my cheeks. That made me blush even more. He chuckled.

The song ended as he dipped me, almost touching the ground. He brought me back up and I realized that many people had stopped dancing to watch us dance. I blushed as people were staring at us in awe. What did we do? Half the dance I didn't even remember what moves I did.

Edward stared into my eyes as he walked towards the stage.

I couldn't help but smirk at Kyle's expression.

So what did ya think? Please Read and Review!! Edward will sing in the next chapter!!
