Forgotten Promise:
Part 4:
Edward Masen
Edward's Point Of View
My fingers danced along the smooth white and black keys. I closed my eyes and listened to the music, the beautiful sounds that this instrument could make. After a few minutes I heard the door open. I groaned in my head. When I played the piano I just wanted to escape, to be by myself and just write my music for just me to hear. I didn't get that though, I got screaming girls that didn't care what the music sounded like, just what I looked like.
"Five minuets till the show" my manager and best friend Jasper said. This time I groaned out load. "Come on Edward it's just a 45 minute show...it's for charity too." If I had my way I wouldn't be famous, but my parents thought that this was the best life for me. They pushed and shoved me over and over again till I agreed, which was the worst decision of my life because everywhere I go I'm followed by a bunch of idiotic girls.
"3 minutes" Jasper said then turned around to leave. I played the last few notes of my song, and then got up slowly to follow him.
As I walked out of the room I could here all the screaming, which there shouldn't be any. A piano concert should be quiet and relaxing.
"You only have one girl backstage tonight," Jasper explained "though she looks like she wants to kill someone," he laughed.
"Okay…So what's her name?" I asked I usually had at least 5 to 10 people backstage after a concert, so one wasn't that bad.
"Marie White, the author" he said. I nodded, I've read a few of her books, they were all extremely good, and so I just might have to get her autograph.
"And now I'm pleased to introduce the wonderful, Edward Mason.," The announcer spoke into the microphone. Well that's me, Edward Mason. Right now I was on tour to raise money for children's hospitals. That's why I'm in America.
My house is in Europe, I loved it up there. I live far from everything. No one I lived there besides my parents. My mail doesn't even get delivered there.
I walked on stage waving and smiling. Everyone was on their feet clapping, and the idiotic girls were screaming. It took all I had not to run off the stage back to my sound proof room.
"Hello everyone," I said into the microphone "Thanks for coming out tonight, all the tickets sales made will go to the hospitals of New York City. So, thank you so much for supporting this great cause." Everyone clapped "I hope you enjoy the show,"
I walked over to the bench in front of the shinny white piano. I waited for the audience to calm down, and then I started playing my first song. All I played was the piano, and most people would say that is pretty boring to listen to. So Jasper has been trying to get a singer. At first I just told him no, but he got my parents into the idea so I had to at least have additions. While listening to some of these girls sing I probably heard some of the most talented singers, but there was something about them that wasn't right. So I just kept saying no to everyone.
I have this voice stuck in my head, this beautiful voice. None of those girls had it.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
I played 4 different songs, 3 that I wrote, and Clair de Lune one of my favorites, in the 45 minutes that I had to play.
"Thank you for coming," I said into the microphone before walking to the right, and off the stage. While the crowd clapped and yelled.
Jasper right there when I got off the stage "Good show Edward,"
"Thanks," I said back to him
"Don't forget about the back stage pass girl," Jaspers yelled while he walked the other direction. I nodded and started to walk over to the back room, were they kept all the people with the backstage passes. This was probably the worst part of my job the backstage passes. 'Well here it goes' I though to myself as I opened the door to meet Marie White.
I saw her sitting, legs crossed on the couch that was against the wall on the other side of the room. She had dark brown hair flowing down her back. She was also in a short black dress which looked incredible on her.
She looked so familiar, but that was probably because they have her picture on the back of the books, and she was on T.V. a few times. But the weirdest part is that I had this erg to run up to her and kiss her, I've never felt like that before, I've never even kissed anyone before.
"Hello, I'm Edward." I greeted her while holding out my hand to her. She looked mad. Not just an, you took my cookie kind of mad, but an, you destroyed my life kind of mad.
She looked at my hand but didn't raise her to shake mine, so I brought it back down to my side. "I'm very glad to met you Ms. White"
"Edward," she sneered, madly making me even more confused "It's Bella, Bella Swan."
"Okay then, I am very pleased to meet you Ms. Bella Swan." I held my hand out again. There was something in me saying that I had to make her like me, but I didn't know what or why.
"You've hurt me so much already Edward and you're just making it so much worse for me." Bella yelled with tears threatening to come out of her eyes. This girl was crazy! I mean I've heard that the best author's are crazy most of the time. Then there was a part of me that wanted to comfort her, and to not let her cry.
"What?" I had to ask because I was just too confused.
"Edward just answer my questions please. Why did you leave me there? Why didn't you call just to say you weren't going to come back?" She was crying now, and I felt like a complete idiot, like I was hearing a conversation for someone else that wasn't meant for me to hear.
"What?" I asked again, while fighting the erg to take her in my arms. Though now she looked even madder,
"You stupid bastard, FOUR YEARS. Four Years I've been waiting, and crying over you, and you just pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!" she was yelling again, while sobbing hysterically.
"What ARE you talking about?" I was yelling too.
Bella's face got really red with anger for a few minutes then she started to cry again. I felt so bad, and I didn't know why. I felt like her pain was my fault, even thought I've only known her for a few minutes. But I kept reminding my self that I don't know this girl and that she was crazy.
After about 5 minutes of her crying and staring at me, she ran out of the room. I stood staring at the wall trying to figure out what happened.
The door opened behind me. I turned around hopping that Bella had come back to tell me what she meant. But it was Jasper.
"What happen?" he was angry, probably because the girl ran out of the room crying.
"I really don't know" I answer, and then walk out of the room. Think of the events that just happened in my head.
Bella's POV
"Alice I'm not going to wear this" I told her while looking at the dress laid out on my bed which is a short black dress with a plugging neckline.
"Bella suck it up and put the dress on, if you're really going to see Edward don't you want him to be blown away with what you look like now" Alice yelled at me from the bathroom.
After that I didn't argue with anything else she wanted to do. I want him to see his mistake of leaving me. I want him to feel the pain I felt.
So around two hours later I was sitting in Alice's car in front of the building that the concert was taking place in.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Alice asked me for the final time before I left.
"I have too, if I don't I'll always wonder what would have happened" I told her. Alice nodded she knew that this was important she just didn't want me getting hurt.
"Good luck" she said quietly. I said thank you for everything that she did that night, and then got out of the car.
Up at the front door I showed the employees the pass that I had gotten from the company earlier today. They led me to the backstage room where I could put my stuff down. Then they showed me my seat.
"Here we are Ms. White, would you like anything else?" The boy asked
"No thank you" then he left and I sat in my seat and waited for the show to begin.
The seats around me began to fill up, mostly with young teenage girls. That surprised me; I thought that a piano concert would bore them to death.
Then the announcer came up onto the stage. "And now I'm pleased to introduce the wonderful, Edward Mason." He said into the microphone.
Then the world around me stopped as Edward walked on stage he looked amazing in black dress pants and a white dress shirt, but no jacket. I was so over whelmed that I didn't hear what he had said into the microphone.
When he started playing my eyes stated to water, I swiftly got up and walked out of the room, I couldn't stay here any longer or I would go into hysterics. Maybe Alice was right. Maybe I shouldn't have come.
No, I couldn't let myself think that. I made the right choice coming here.
I hope.
For the next 40 minutes I just sat there in the room fidgeting and crossing and crossing my legs over and over again. Never able to get comfortable.
Then the door opened. My heart stopped. I held my breath. Then I saw the blonde hair. My body went back into motion.
"Hello Ms. White Edward will be right with you, I'm his manager Jasper Hale."
"Hello" was all I managed to get out.
The second he felt I started to debate if I should stay or go, if I stayed I might learn the reason why he didn't come back, and it could be something so small that we could be able to put behind us. But if it was something that would break my heart even more I'm not sure I can take it.
Stay or Go
Stay Or Go
Stay or Go
My heart said stay and my brain said to go.
I decided to be sensible and go with my brain. I quickly gathered my purse and stood up, but then the door slowly began to open. So I sat back down again and put my purse down.
My heart was pounding when I finally saw the bronze haired man that I missed so much.
He looked so happy.
"Hello I'm Edward Masen" he said smiling and holding his hand out to me. He knew I knew him that stupid jerk, I glared at him, then looked at his hand he had raised for me to shake, but did not move. "I'm very glad to met you Ms. White" OMG he did not just call me Ms. White he very well knew my name, but maybe I should refresh his memory.
"Edward. It's Bella, Bella Swan" I hissed. Why was he doing this?
"Okay then, I am very pleased to meet you Ms. Bella Swan" he held his hand out again.
"You've hurt me so much already Edward and you're just making it so much worse for Me." my eyes started to water as I yelled at him.
"What" he said confused.
"Edward just answer my questions please. Why did you leave me there? Why didn't you call just to say you weren't going to come back?" I was crying now. I know I should have left. This was just hurting me so much more.
"What" he said again.
You stupid bastard, FOUR YEARS. Four Years I've been waiting, and crying over you, and you just pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!" the jack ass, I HATE HIM.
"What ARE you talking about?" he yelled at me. I just stood there shocked he's never yelled at me before, but then after a few minutes of silence I left and went home.
Okay I know I'm late updating. I'm really sorry about that… I had a really bad day in school if that makes you feel better…i came really close to failing a pop quiz … I got a 79. So sad… oh well can't rewind time.
I'm going to get right to work with the next chapter, and hopefully have it out sometime this week.
Also I hoped you liked having a view from Edward's head. A few people asked for a chapter in Edward's POV and well here it is.
And D4ni3ll3 only had this chapter in Edward's POV but I thought it was to short and I wanted to know what was going on in Bella's head to I put her POV in here.
Review!!!!
