Chapter 5
It had been two weeks since we all found out about Rose, she seemed to be doing okay. She decided that she did want to press charges against Royce, and has been talking to the Cullen's lawyer, Jenks, about what needed to be done. Carlisle also has Rose seeing the best therapist in Port Angeles twice a week to help her heal emotionally
"Here, Bells, try this one on," Alice said, passing me a black dress over the top of the fitting room stall.
I groaned, "Come on, Ali," I said, grabbing the dress, "Do we really have to do this?"
"Yes, we really have to do this!" she said, "Now get your ass in that dress!"
I groaned again. We were currently in Port Angeles trying on dresses to wear to the guys first performance tomorrow night. Alice and Rose have been throwing dresses at me for the last two hours, and I was just ready to get out of here already.
I stepped out in the newest dress they'd given me. "Guys," I said, "You realize this is a bar, right? Why would I wear this?"
Alice looked me up and down, completely ignoring me. "I don't like it anyway," she said, waving me away.
I groaned, "Can't just wear some cute jeans and a cute top?" I whined. (Yes, whined.)
Rose rolled her eyes, "She might be right, Ali," she said, "Just let her wear what she wants."
Alice huffed and sighed, "Fine," she said.
I smiled, "Thank you!" I said, "I love you, Rose. If Emmett doesn't marry you, I will."
She laughed and walked over to the racks. I went back into the room and changed back into my clothes. When I was done, I headed over to Rose; she handed me a pair of black skinny jeans that had cuts in the knees and red shirt that had black lace across the top on the chest and shoulders. "Get these and wear the boots I got you for your birthday," she said.
I nodded, "Thanks," I said with a smile.
I sat at a table in front of the stage with Alice, Rose, Esme, Carlisle, and my mom. The stage was already set up with Emmett's drum set, two of Jasper's guitar's, and Edward's keyboard.
Alice was bouncing up and down in her seat, "I'm so excited!" she said, "I'm going to my Jazzy on stage!"
I laughed, "What about your brother?" I asked.
She waved me off, "Yeah, him too," she said, nonchalantly.
Rose and I both laughed as I saw Edward step onto the stage, Emmett and Jasper stepping out behind him. We all cheered, and Edward smiled and waved at us, making my heart skip a beat.
At the table behind us I heard Jessica's big mouth yell, "Woooo! Eddie!"
Rose groaned and rolled her eyes, "Who invited her?" she mumbled, "Your brother needs to break up with her, Ali."
Alice sighed, "I know," she said, "He knows too." He knows? Then why doesn't he break up with her? I'll have to ask her about that later.
I looked back at the stage and saw Edward step up to the mic, "Hi, my name is Edward, and these are my best friends Emmett and Jasper, and we're Breaking Dawn!" he said, "We're super excited to play for you tonight, and we hope you enjoy it."
They started off with two rocks songs, that the crowed seemed to love, I even heard a guy at the table next to us saying how great they were.
After the second song, Edward spoke into the mic again. "These next two songs we're going to play for you, are a lot different than our other two songs, and what we usually play," he said, glancing at me. Oh, no, here comes the song. "These songs mean a lot to us though and we hope you enjoy them. And, Rose, this next one's for you."
I looked over at Rose and she was staring blankly at the stage before she said, "Wait. What…" I reached out and held her hand in mine as the familiar beat started up and my voice played through the speakers.
(Bella, Edward, Bella &Edward, Emmett, Jasper)
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down
I saw Alice look at me out of the corner of my eye and I knew she knew that is was me singing.
Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointment
Doing everything I can, I don't wanna make you disappointed
It's annoying
I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did wasn't ever tryna make an issue for you
But, I guess the more you
Thought about everything, you were never even wrong in the first place, right?
Yeah, I'ma just ignore you
Walking towards you, with my head down, lookin' at the ground, I'm embarrassed for you
Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you
Very loyal?
Shoulda had my back, but you put a knife in it, my hands are full
What else should I carry for you?
I cared for you, but
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down
Yeah, you don't wanna make this work
You just wanna make this worse
Want me to listen to you
But you don't ever hear my words
You don't wanna know my hurt, yet
Let me guess you want an apology, probably
How can we keep going at a rate like this?
We can't, so I guess I'ma have to leave
Please don't come after me
I just wanna be alone right now, I don't really wanna think at all
Go ahead, just drink it off
Both know you're gonna call tomorrow like nothing's wrong
Ain't that what you always do?
I feel like every time I talk to you, you're in an awful mood
What else can I offer you?
There's nothing left right now, I gave it all to you
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down
Yeah, don't talk down to me
That's not gonna work now
Packed all my clothes and I moved out
I don't even wanna go to your house
Everytime I sit on that couch
I feel like you lecture me
Eventually, I bet that we
Could have made this work and probably woulda figured things out
But I guess that I'm a letdown
But it's cool, I checked out
Oh, you wanna be friends now?
Okay, let's put my fake face on and pretend now
Sit around and talk about the good times
That didn't even happen
I mean, why are you laughing?
Must have missed that joke
Let me see if I can find a reaction
No, but at least you're happy
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Oh, I let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
And I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Oh, let you down
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry now
I'm sorry
That I let you down
Rose was sobbing by the end of the song, as were our parents. Alice and I reached over and hugged Rose, before turning our attention to the stage once again. "You should've sang with them," Alice whispered to me. I ignored her and watched the stage.
"This next song is for any girl out there who's ever felt like mistreated or like they're not good enough," Edward said.
(Edward, Emmett, Jasper, All)
Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Tellin' those lies, pointing out your flaws
That isn't who you are
That isn't who you are
It might be hard to hear
But let me tell you, dear
If you could see what I can see, I know you would believe
That isn't who you are
There's more to who you are
So when it's late
You're wide awake
Too much to take
Don't you dare forget that in the pain
You can be brave
Hear me say
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
Oh, so priceless
Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it's beautiful
I see it all in you
Oh, so priceless
No matter what you've heard
This is what you're worth
More than all the money or the diamonds and pearls
Oh, this is who you are
Yeah, this is who you are
So when it's late
You're wide awake
Too much to take
Don't you dare forget that in the pain
You can be brave
Hear me say
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
Oh, so priceless
Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it's beautiful
I see it all in you
Oh, so priceless
Sisters, we can start again
Give honor 'til the end
Love, we can start again
Brothers, we can start again
Give honor 'til the end
Yeah, we can start again
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
Oh, so priceless
You're irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable
Darling, it's beautiful
I see it all in you
Oh, so priceless
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
I see a rose in bloom
At the sight of you
I see you dressed in white
Every wrong made right
Oh, so priceless
At the end of the song the whole crowd was cheering, Edward turned and smiled at Jasper and Emmett before walking over and high fiving the both of them.
"They're amazing!" the guy behind me said, "I wonder if they'd come preform at my daughter's party."
I looked at Rose and we both smiled at each other before I turned around, "Did you say you wanted to hire the band?" I asked.
He smiled widely, "Yeah!" he said, "Do you know who I can get in contact with to set something up?"
I nodded, "Let me give you my number," I said, "I'll set it up for you."
The guy smiled, programming my number in his phone, "Cool, thanks," he said.
I turned back around and looked at the girls, "Okay, Manager Bella," Alice joked.
I laughed before smiling at the guys on stage, giving them a thumbs up.
