A/N: Just to clear a few things up with this Author's Note.
The 'Night before Final Jam Prom' is NOT an activity. An activity is considered as something the students PERFORM in. They don't perform in a prom, different stars do.
If you don't get the cellphone part in the story, I'll explain it in the later Author's Note.
Sorry about this being so late. I wasn't encouraged enough. :)
Oh, and, sorry about the cliffy too. XD The next chapter will be up soon, I promise.
PLEASE REVIEW! Thank you! :)
BPOV
"Bella, give it up," Tanya said, laughing. "You know he wasn't meant for you."
"I know that." I bit my lip.
"So why do you still try?" she asked. "Isn't it bad enough he doesn't love you back?"
"How would you know that?" I growled.
She laughed a high-pitched laugh. "Bella, darling, he told me that."
I froze.
"Told you what, exactly?" I asked.
"That he loves me." She smiled.
"Do you even have proof?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Sure, dear, he's been telling me that for millions of times!" she picked up her phone from her purse and opened her inbox, then passed it to me.
From: Edward Cullen
To: Tanya Denali
Sweet drms, Tanya. I luv u.
My hands shook as I passed it back to Tanya, almost dropping the phone.
He was playing with me. I was just some ordinary girl to him. Of course! I kept my hopes up for nothing. Now their crashing down on me. This day was the worst day of my life.
Banned from Final Jam, ruined Prom, no date, no real love…
"He did want me to tell you something, too," she said, smiling sweetly at me, "He asked me to tell you to stop bothering him and stop annoying the hell out of him with all your lies and mistakes. He says that it would be better if you just left him and me alone. He also said that if you ever stole something from me again, he'd hurt you."
"Don't worry," I said, my voice cracking, the tears spilling down, "Tell him that I promise to leave him alone. Tell him that I'm sick and tired of him too. Tell him to stay away from me. Tell him I HATE HIM!" I yelled and ran passed her, covering my eyes.
"Bella?" a velvet voice called.
"Eddie sweetie!" I heard Tanya yell as I ran back to the cabin.
Once I entered my cabin, I locked the door and ran to my bed, crying myself to sleep.
EPOV
I stood there at the foot of the stairs, watching as the door closed.
"Hey, Edward, right?" a guy asked.
"You're Jacob," I growled, "Bella left, I'm so sorry." I said, sounding sarcastic.
He blinked. "Er—did I do something wrong?"
I shrugged.
"So, where exactly is Bella?" he asked.
I growled internally. Can't this guy take a hint?!
"I. Said. She. Left." I growled.
He smirked.
"You think I like her."
"What?"
"You like her." He smirked again.
I didn't say anything.
He raised his hands. "She's all yours. She's just a family friend."
I blinked. Oh.
"Thanks… I guess."
"Sure, hey, have you seen Tanya Denali? My sister, Rachel Black, wants to see her." He asked.
I looked around. Where was Tanya?
"Hang on." I said, searching my pockets for my cellphone.
I blinked. Where was my phone?
I checked my jacket pockets, my tux pockets. Nothing…
"I guess not," Jacob laughed. "Don't worry, I'll find her. She probably went out for a walk or something. I saw her go outside a few minutes ago."
My eyebrows shot up and I turned to climb up the stairs.
I pushed the door open and Tanya's head snapped up. I saw Bella's running figure, sobbing.
"Bella?" I asked frantically.
"Eddie sweetie!" Tanya yelled, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"What did you do?!" I asked, stepping backwards.
"Nothing, I just talked to her," she shrugged, "And here's your cellphone back." She said, reaching for it in her purse and handed it to me.
"What the hell! I never remember giving it to you!" I said, hastily snatching it from her hand.
"You left it near the punch table. I just happened to find it there before anyone else could steal it." She smiled.
"What did you tell Bella?" I growled.
She shook her head. "Nothing. Although she did want me to tell you that she's sick and tired of you. She wants you to stay away from her and she'll leave you alone," Tanya said, a thoughtful look in her eyes, "And…oh yeah!"
"What?" I asked, my voice cracked. Don't tell me she—
"She said she hates you."
I closed my eyes and ran a hand through my hair. She hate's me.
"I'll always be here for you, though, Edward." Tanya said, smiling at me.
"Leave me alone." I muttered, walking to my cabin. I slammed the door, which made Carlisle jump from his bed.
"You alright, superstar?" he asked.
Just then, the door opened and Emmett was screaming, "WOOO!"
Jasper came in, a dreamy look in his eyes, but he snapped out of it when he saw me.
"Dude, are you alright?" he asked.
"I just met the most amazing girl ever!" Emmett yelled.
"I'm fine." I muttered, looking down.
"She's a blond, and she's perfect! She can sing and dance and all that!" Emmett still yelled.
Jasper raised an eyebrow, then said, "Tell me the truth."
"Her name's Rosalie Hale, and she's—"
"EMMETT!" Jasper, Carlisle and I both yelled.
"Jezz, sorrrry, I'm just saying!" Emmett said, raising his hands in the air.
"So what's wrong man?" Jasper asked.
"The girl of my dreams hates me." I muttered.
"That Bella girl?" Jasper smirked, then frowned, "She hates you? Why?"
"I have a feeling it's because I kissed her." I sighed.
"You didn't ask her or something?" Jasper asked.
"I couldn't."
"Call her, then." Jasper rolled his eyes.
"I don't have her number." I muttered.
"Rosie does!" Emmett yelled.
My eyes brightened.
"Rosie?" Jasper scoffed. "Nice."
Emmett got his phone out and called Rosalie. She gave him Bella's number and he told me. I paced back and forth as the phone was on its 2nd ring.
"Hello?" Bella's voice asked.
"Bella." I sighed.
"Who is this?" she asked.
"It's…Edward." I said, my voice cracking.
She didn't say anything.
"I know this must be really stupid and stuff, but—"
"How do you have my number?" she asked.
"I got it from Emmett." I said, not wanting to mention Rosalie.
"Why are you calling? What do you want?" she asked, her voice cracking.
I bit my lip. "Please listen to me first…"
"If you don't want anything to do with me, why are you calling me?!" she yelled.
I blinked. When did I ever tell her that?
"I—what?" I asked.
"Don't I annoy the hell out of you? Don't I bother you?" she growled.
"Of course not! Bella, what did Tanya tell you?" I asked.
"She told me everything! That you hate me and that you love her and—"
"WHAT?" I yelled.
"You love her. What? You thought I'd never figure it out? You…you…you player!"
"Player?" I chuckled, walking out the door. "Bella, what in the world are you talking about?"
"The text message proves everything!" she said.
I started walking to their cabin.
"What text message?" I asked, dumbfounded. What the hell was she talking about?
"The one you sent to Tanya! The one where you told her you loved her."
"WHAT?" I yelled, yet again. Then it hit me.
Of course. I never left my phone at the punch table. She stole it from my pocket. She sent that message to herself…and Bella never bothered to check the date it was sent.
"How did I type it?" I asked.
"What in the world would that mean, anyways?" she growled.
I was at her cabin.
"If the text message is written in any wrong spelling at all, that's not me," I told her.
She didn't say anything.
"You can even ask my brothers or Uncle Carlisle, they know that's not how I type my words. I always use the whole word."
Still, she didn't say anything.
"And I didn't have my phone with me when Tanya was telling you whatever she was telling you, you can even ask Jacob. I have proof."
"Edward." Was probably all she could say.
I knocked on the door and I heard Bella gasp in the phone.
(A/N: This might be a little High School Musical-ish cause I liked this part a lot in the first one. :))
I heard her feet shuffling and the door click open. She opened it, the phone still in her hand, at her ear. Her eyes were puffy and red, and she was still wearing her dress.
She hung up and I dropped my hand to my side.
"You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing,
I need to find you, I gotta find you," I sung to her.
"You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me,
I need to find you…" I sighed and held her hands.
"I gotta find you…" I whispered.
She stared at me, and then a small sad smile stretched across her lips.
She lunged at me and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Good luck at Final Jam." She whispered, tightening her grip.
I smiled and held her close.
I love you, Bella.
FINAL JAM DAY (BPOV)
I sighed, staring out into the sunset. Final Jam was probably happening right now. And where was I? Near the lake, with Alice, just watching the sun set down.
I sighed again and Alice looked at me.
"This was supposed to be a fun summer that was all about music, and all I did was get caught up in Tanya drama."
"It happens." Alice muttered.
"I can't believe I agreed to be some background singer just because I got intimidated."
"That's what Tanya can do to you." Alice muttered, yet again.
"No," I pouted, "I did it to me."
"I've never seen Carlisle so harsh." Alice winced.
"I know, he just kept repeating 'Until the end of Final Jam'" I said, imitating his voice.
"Um," Alice sighed, "I know, I was there."
I looked down at the lake and recalled that time. The look he gave me must have meant something. But what?
I tapped my fingers across the wood impatiently.
Then it hit me.
I turned to face Alice and smiled really widely at her that she stared at me weirdly.
"What?" she asked, as I was still smiling widely, "WHAT?"
I laughed and ran passed her. "Come on!"
I could feel her eyes staring at my back. Then I heard her shuffling and she followed after me.
Final Jam Studio (EPOV)
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
Carlisle fidgeted in place, looking down.
"It's not my fault, superstar. Clearly it seemed that they did steal it, but—"
"How would you know if Tanya was telling the truth?!" I asked, yelling, still.
"Edward," Carlisle sighed, "You wouldn't understand."
"Try me." I muttered angrily.
"Tanya's TJ Denali's daughter now isn't she?" Carlisle asked, flashing an irritated smile.
"Well…yeah?"
"And she's part of this camp, right?" he asked, his jaw hardening.
"Yes?" I flinched as he stepped closer.
"Now what if you were in charge of the camp, and ended up doing something wrong to her daughter? Wouldn't the camp be burned down?" he growled.
I pursed my lips. I never thought of it that way.
"Right, well, I gave them a hint anyways." Carlisle muttered, more to himself, then walked into the studio.
I rolled my eyes and walked over to the judge's area.
Emmett and Jasper were looking away from each other. When I arrived they started patting the space in the middle.
"Something happen?" I asked.
Almost abruptly, they started yelling at me at the same time and I couldn't understand a word they were saying.
"Guys!" I yelled.
Jasper glared at Emmett, "If only you would shut up once in awhile!"
"Look who's talking!" Emmett growled. "Alice this, Alice that!"
"Rosalie this, Rosalie that!" Jasper imitated in a high-pitched voice.
Ah, now I understood.
I chuckled and sat in the middle.
Carlisle ran across the middle stage, and stopped once he reached the big spot.
"Alright!" he yelled, "Who's stomped?!"
People cheered around us and I smiled.
"Ok Campers! Friends, Family, Camp Rock fans," he chuckled, "This is it!"
More cheers.
"Tonight, music history will be made as Camp Rock finds a new, Final Jam, winner!" he yelled into the microphone and everyone started screaming again.
Carlisle walked down the stage and up to me.
"Edward? Do me a favor, will you? Call Tanya and tell her she's second up." He told me.
"Why me?" I groaned.
"Because it would be for the best." He said.
I rolled my eyes and got up. When I reached her door, I saw it was open.
"Tanya, are you read—" I stopped when I heard her singing with her back-up singers. Guess not.
"Come on, Come on, Come on, Look at you! Look at me!" she sang, and then I heard shuffling of feet.
I peeked in the room.
"This is not Amateur night!" Tanya yelled at Jessica and Lauren, "This is serious!"
"We did it right!" Lauren cried out.
"No! You didn't! You never do! I'm trying to win here!" she screamed at them. "You guys might be used to losing, but not me. I'm tired of picking up the slack!"
"Stop telling us what to do!" Jessica yelled at Tanya, "You're the one who's ruining everything! Your too intense all the time and I am sick and tired of picking up your slack too!"
She tried to walk away, but Tanya held her wrist.
"Jessica! Stay right here!"
Jessica didn't say anything. She just yanked her hand away from Tanya's and walked out of the room. Good thing she passed the other door.
"Who needs her? She was holding us back," Tanya muttered to Lauren. "Now you really better not mess up." Tanya jabbed her finger at Lauren.
"YOU KNOW WHAT," Lauren said, stomping up to Tanya, "Don't worry about me! DO IT YOURSELF, I'm done!" Lauren said, then rolled her eyes.
"BTW, Your lip gloss is sooooo not glossy anymore!" she said then walked away, following Jessica.
I smirked. Someone should teach her a lesson these days.
I walked into the room and Tanya turned around.
"Edward!" she said then ran up and hugged me. "This is great! I have an idea!"
"Idea?" I asked.
"See, maybe you want to sing with me with my song, 'Two Stars'?" she asked, battering her eyelashes.
"Tanya, I'm a judge, for now," I said and pulled her hands away from my body. "You're up second, by the way." I told her, and walked back to the judge's table.
Carlisle was back on stage, happy that everyone knew when they would be singing.
"This year, the Final Jam winner will not only get a trophy, and a big one I might add!" Carlisle said, putting his hand to the height of the trophy, which wasn't really that big. I rolled my eyes.
"He or she is going to get a sweet prize, a chance to record with my nephew pop star Edward Cullen!" He said, pointing at me.
I stood up and waved at the fans who were cheering really loudly. I grimaced when I saw 6 girls wearing shirts that spelled E-D-W-A-R-D. Then I sat down.
"To make sure the right camper is chosen, we've invited the other member's of Connect 3 to be judges!"
It was Emmett and Jasper's turn to sit up, but Emmett pulled me by the collar so that he wouldn't get any view of Jasper, which must have been hard for him, seeing how big and tall he is.
We sat back down and the cheering died out.
"Alright, put your hands together for the Hasta La Vista crew!" Carlisle said, walking back as the 'crew' came out.
A/N: Obviously enough, Tanya stole his phone from his pocket. Ok? The text message was sent by Tanya to herself using Edward's phone. He doesn't use 'I luv u' but 'I love you' as you see by the ending part when he thinks 'I love you, Bella.'
FINAL JAM. Next CHAPTER! If you have any questions, I'll be glad to clear it up for you.
Sneak Peek… hmm… only if you review. :) And it depends on how early you review. XD
