I am so sorry that it's taken a long time for me to post. I took my life and moved and it's very frustrating. I am no where done unpacking. I hope you guys forgive me. Enough of my sob story, here's the next chapter.

BPOV

"What are you doing here?"

I put my hand to my chest in shock.

I gasped while turning to look at my sister and all I got was a shrug.

"Come in." I stepped out of the way of the blond headed boy that I've know for practically my whole life.

As he walked in and hugged me, that's when I saw her, the red head.

I pushed him off and squealed.

"You are here too?"

She came to me and hugged me tight. I hugged her even tighter.

While pulling back to give both of them a look.

"Why didn't you call me Victoria?"

I turned to him and pointed my finger, "James! Why didn't you call me?"

I looked at my so-called sister. "Why didn't you tell me they were coming?"

James said while laughing, "It was surprise. Surprise! Rose told Tori that you were going to sing and we both wanted to come to be your groupies."

I gave him another hug.

"I can't believe that you guys are here. I spoke to you the other day Victoria. I am mad at you guys."

I grabbed Tori's hand.

"Let me see it."

The ring is beautiful and so Tori. A tear drop diamond on white gold with little diamonds surrounding the big diamond.

I gasped and congratulated them both.

"You are officially off the market." Rosalie said while putting her arm around me.

Tori looked at James and winked at him.

"Finally." I blurted out.

Tori walked up to Rosalie.

"Hey guys." Rosalie said while hugging them

"Let me just say, how weird is it that you and his idiot cousin are dating siblings?"

"I know." Rosalie said. "It is really weird when I walked into the living room and realized it was my child's father. By the way where is she?"

Rosalie looked around and when she realized they were empty handed.

"Where's my baby?"

"Doodle bug is here too?" I said while clapping my hand.

"She's with Jasper at Alice parent's house." Victoria said

"She must be going crazy seeing Emmett."

"Jas ran to him when I put her down." James said.

"You look cute Bells. Let me guess Rosalie?"

I gasped at Victoria.

"Do you think I couldn't pick this outfit out myself?"

"You have your own style."

Victoria put her arms around my shoulder and whispered, "Personally I love your style better."

"You see this is why I've always loved you. Look at you guys, you look so different."

James cut his blond hair short and curly. And Victoria controlled her crazy red hair by straightening it. Her hair was cut short to her shoulders. I remembered she always had long red frizzy hair to her waist.

Just then somebody honked a car horn.

"Shoot. That's Angela. I got to go."

I pouted my lips and Victoria gave me a squeeze.

She said, "Good luck. You will knock them dead tonight."

"Yeah," James cut in. "You will be beautiful up there and if you hear somebody screaming the loudest it's this one over here."

He motioned his thumb to his love. Victoria laughed and lightly slapped his arm.

I kissed everybody bye and I ran out to the car.

As I walked to the car I noticed that Angela was on the phone.

"No Eric we are leaving now."

She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Eric can you please. I know we are supposed to have been there 10 minutes ago. Look big brother. I know you are watching the door and we need 4 tickets"

I waved my hand to get her attention and put up 2 fingers.

She gave me a questioning look and continued.

"Umm I think that's six."

You can hear Eric yelling through the phone. She pulled the phone away from her ear and mouthed for whom.

"James and Victoria are coming."

She just gave me a blank look.

I smiled and I knew why she looked that way.

Even though she's with Ben right now, she always dreamed she was going to marry James Hale.

It was the last barbeque my dad had.

*Flashback*

"Come on Bells."

Angela is handing me the other end of the jump rope.

"Ange I don't want to play."

Rosalie nudged me.

"I will play if you play."

Angela started getting real excited.

"Yeah yeah."

I huffed and took the end of the jump rope.

"Hey Rosie."

We all turned to see who was calling her.

Rosalie blushed to her reddish brown hair and dropped her eyes while smiling.

I leaned over to Angela and said, "What's the matter with her? Why does she look goofy because Jasper is calling her?"

Angela just shrugged her shoulders.

"Hey Jas."

"Your dad just gave me some burgers to give you girls."

Angela and I grabbed the food and gobbled it down while Rosalie looked into Jasper's eyes and blushed ever redder.

I chuckled and said, "What's wrong with your face?"

Rosalie gave me a dirty look while Jasper chuckled too.

Just them a lanky blonde headed kid jumped on Jasper's back.

"Hey Jimmy."

James jumped off Jasper's back and huffed, "Don't call me that. You know I hate that."

Jasper looked at me and scrunched his face and said, "Whatever Jimmy."

We laughed and James punched Jasper in the arm.

"Anyway, this is lame let's get out of here."

I put my hands on hips and said, "My dad's barbeque is not lame."

James walked closer to me while laughing.

"Your dad's party is lame."

"You are lame."

Jasper cut in.

"What do you want to do then?"

"Let's play a game."

"What kind of game?" Rosalie said looking bored.

"We all have to say what we want and somebody in the group has to do it."

"Do what?" I said afraid because I know how Jasper and James take games to the extreme.

"What ever it is we want"

"You have to be more specific than that." I said while folding my arms.

Jasper huffed and got up from the log.

"If you are going to be a baby about it shortie, then don't play."

He said while messing up my out of control hair.

"I will go first. Since you want to be miss baby, Bella I want you to hop on one foot and sing the stars spangle banner."

I gave him a dirty look and told him I wasn't.

"You have to do it. That is the rule."

I did it and I have to say not well. I tripped and everybody laughed.

"My turn. Rosie I want you to stare at Jasper until one of you laughs

She started to look goofy. She was blushing to her hairline and Rose turned to face him.

But neither of them laughed. She dropped her eyes and turned a deeper shade of red I've never seen before.

Jasper stuttered, "You lost."

Rose cleared her throat and said, "Ange, I want you to tell us what's in your heart right."

Angela looked at me and cringed.

"Umm. I would like to have umm my first kiss. And I want umm James to give it to me."

We chuckled and James walked to Angela and gave her a soft kiss on her lips.

And she's been in love ever since."

As we parked in front of the club I could see that people was already there. I couldn't wait to get up on the stage and sing to feel the vibe from the people. I thought I chose well and I hope they really like me.

There was somebody already on stage singing and I had to admit he wasn't that great. Angela waved somebody over and they told me the time I was going on. I text the time to Rosie and I threatened she should be there on time.

I also noticed that some people from our school were also there. I looked at Angela and gave here a dirty look. But I couldn't worry about that. I silently prayed that I would do well.

The people that matter started arriving and I knew it was almost my time for me to go on. I looked around for the one person that I need to hug me to calm me down. But I couldn't find him.

As I heard my name called I felt someone staring at me. I looked to the table where his friends were I spotted him sitting between those hags Lauren and Jessica. Great that's what I need right now. Put it out of your mind Bella. You are about to sing and wow them with your voice.

As I hugged Rosalie I looked over his table again and our eyes met.

EPOV

When I walked into Sonar I spotted Bella. She was laughing with her sister and some redhead I've never seen before.

Even thought Bella was having a good time I could see her eyes looking around. Is she looking for me?

She looked so beautiful. Her smile her lips just begged for me to kiss them.

But if I tell her will she hate me. Will I disgust her? I knew what I was doing. I was pushing her away. But it was so hard I needed her. I was falling for her in the short period of time I was getting to know her.

I wanted her around me all the time. And it killed me when I hurt her. She saw my pain. Bella saw the anger in my eyes.

Next to the stage is Bella Swan

I cut to the stage where they were calling for her.

I looked back at her and Bella's eyes started fluttering and she cut to me. At the same time Lauren put her hand on my shoulder and leaned in to say something to me.

Bella lifted her eyebrow and I can see that I just hurt her.

I should have been there with her.

But she can't be part of my life. I will hurt her worse than I am hurting her now.

I didn't deserve happiness. I hated myself to feel like this but she deserves somebody better for her.

She hugged Rosalie and looked at me again. I just wanted to get up and walk to her and kiss her and tell her how I felt and what is going on in my head. But my feet couldn't move.

"Damn Bella looks good." Mike said while watching Bella walking to the stage.

Eric agreed and I clenched my jaw.

"Hi I am Bella and I am singing two songs by Adele. Melt my heart to stone and Hometown Glory. Bella said as she sat at the piano.

Bella closed her eyes and started playing the piano. She let her fingers play the song. It was beautiful. Her fingers just glided over the cords. As she opened her mouth everybody was silent and all eyes on her.

She sent chills up and down my spine. I had to move around in my seat to get comfortable.

Her eyes remained closed as she was singing feeling the music. The passion in her voice was too hard to handle.

"I didn't know Bella could sing. She's amazing." Lauren said.

I've heard Bella singing before but this was on another level.

"I have goose bumps." Jessica said showing Lauren her arm.

At that moment I knew I loved her. I wanted nobody but her. I had to tell her. I had to tell her everything.

I closed my eyes and felt her singing to me. Singing to my soul. I pictured both of us in her room with me in her arms and she humming to me when I was afraid last night. I saw how beautiful she looks when she first wakes up, or when I open my eyes and she's the first thing I see. How it tugs at my heart when she laughs or when I piss her off. I love her. I love Bella Swan.

My thoughts were interrupted by everybody clapping. Her entourages were screaming the loudest. I could see that Bella started to blush and looked like she was going to cry. She thanked everybody and got off the stage.

The mc came back on and asked them to clap for Bella and called the next person to the stage. A dark curly hair boy with blue eyes also sat at the piano and announced what he was singing.

I watched Bella run to them and I wished that I was over there congratulating her.

BPOV

That was amazing. I closed my eyes and pictured my dad and me on the piano singing and my mom and Rosie in the kitchen cooking dinner.

That was for you daddy. I love you and I miss you.

He was with me and I could feel that he was proud of me. He knew this is what I wanted and I knew he wouldn't want to me to give up.

Charlie put his hand on my shoulder urging me to sing with my heart. I put my all in that song and I know the crowd felt it. The love and the passion I had to give them.

As I hit the last cord the crowd went crazy. I thanked them and I ran into Rosalie's arm.

I got hugged and patted and words of praises from everybody. People I didn't know and the ones I love with all of my heart.

I hugged Rosalie again and I whispered in her ear that daddy was with me up there. She lowered her eyes and I lifted her head to look at me and I kissed her cheek.

"That was Bella Swan. Wasn't she amazing? Next to the stage is Sean Bryant."

A curly dark haired cutie walked to the stage.

Angela grabbed me and told me that Ben's cousin was next.

I looked over to Edward and he was still watching me. He put his head down and I just shook my head and looked back at the stage.

"Hi I am Sean and I will be singing Apologize by One Republic."

He sat at the piano and started playing. My jaw dropped. He sounds so good.

His voice reminds me of Justin Timberlake.

"He's good."

Angela nodded her head

I blew out a breath. I was done. I was happy with the song I chose and now I was ready for Jason Mraz to come out. I was stoked.

Sean finished singing and Angela and Ben were going nuts. Sean walked to them and hugged them both.

Angela pulled Sean to me and introduced us.

"Hi Bella. You were great."

"Thanks. So were you."

He scrunched up his nose.

'You think? I was nervous."

"I was too but you couldn't see it. "

Sean took my hand and said he was going to leave.

"You aren't staying?" Angela said pouting.

"Nah I have to work in the morning. Nice to meet you Bella."

"Nice to meet you too."

Sean smiled at me and left.

He is a cutie. I looked over and saw that Edward was gone.

Oh well.

"Ok ladies and gentleman. Thanks for all the people that came out to support the talents that came to jam with us tonight. You guys were awesome. Now coming to the stage is someone special who also wanted to jam with you. Please welcome Jason Mraz."

I don't know what came over me but I started jumping up and down. I was screaming. Grabbing on Rosalie's arm. Everybody was laughing at me.

"Thanks guys for allowing me to jam with you. Let's have some fun tonight."

He started hitting his guitar and I started screaming louder.

He started playing Butterfly and we all were going nuts. I sang along with him.

Jason Mraz was jamming for 45 minutes and we are having the times of our lives.

He finished singing I'm Yours and said,"

"You guys are awesome. I was sitting in the back and I was listening to your talents on stage tonight and I have to say they are incredible. But there is one that stood out for me. And I have to say when they were singing I was blown away. And I think I would like for her to get on this stage and sing this song with me. Where are you Bella Swan?"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I stopped breathing and turned to Rosalie who was screaming.

"He's calling you baby sis. Get up there."

I walked to the stage with a big grin on my face.

"Bella I would love it if you sing Lucky with me."

That was my favorite song.

"Sure I would love too."

He started playing the notes on his guitar and we started singing.

I noticed that my family was in the front stage cheering me on. And I had to fight back tears. This was the best.

Who would have thought I was the same girl that was abused by her mother.

When the song was over every cheered and I hugged and thanked Jason Mraz.

"Hey Bella, what song do you want to hear?"

I looked over my shoulder and yelled out Geek in the pink.

That was the last song of the night.

"That was amazing." I said as I got out of Rosalie's car.

I turned to take by doodle bug out of her car seat. She was fast a sleep.

I lifted her up and rested her head on my shoulder.

"Yeah it was great. And you my dear blew the crowd away."

Emmett bowed his head to show me respect.

I started to giggle.

Rosalie closed her car door and said, "Yeah and I was proud of you Bells. You sang your heart out tonight.

"And I got to sing with Jason Mraz. I hope you guys recorded it."

"Yeah James did. Speaking of James, did you guys see how Angela was getting upset when he was Tori and him kissing?"

Just then James' car pulled up.

"We will continue this later." Rosalie continued.

As I turned, I saw Edward sitting on our steps.

"Oh its you." Rosalie said

"Rose I got this." I said.

"Well I am going to put Jas to bed." Emmett said and he took her in his big arm and pulled Rosalie with his other one while she throwing out curses at Edward.

"Is there a problem?" James said protectively.

"No James, there isn't a problem. James, Victoria this is Edward Cullen."

"You are Alice's brother. She's mentioned you." Victoria said.

Edward didn't say anything, just green and chocolate brown eyes staring each other down.

"Ohhh kayy. We will go inside." Victoria said while pulling James.

"What do you want Edward?"

"I just wanted to come to see you."

I folded my arms and raised my eyebrow, "Oh after you hung out with the skank twins."

He huffed and got up from the steps to walk to me.

"It isn't like that."

"Let me tell you how it is. I was singing today and when I looked over at my family, the man I care for wasn't there but with his friends. How do you think that made me feel? You know what forget it."

I waved my hand and walked passed him.

"Wait Bella."

"What are you going to say? I'm sorry Bella. Please forgive me Bella. I think I am tired of hearing I'm sorry."

"What do you want to hear? I love you."

I stopped dead in my tracks and my heart stopped.

"That's low even for you."

He walked up to me and turned me to face him.

His green eyes were very intense.

"When you were singing I realized that I love you tonight and I am ready to tell you."

I started to breathe very fast.

"Tell me what?"

"Everything."

"Everything?"

"I love you Bella Swan and I am not good for you. I say this because of my past."

I touched his cheek and said, "I don't care about your past."

"I know you don't but I do. It is dirty. And to me you are pure."

"I am not pure."

Edward took the knit hat off my head and let my hair fall.

"To me you are and I don't want you to be tainted by my past."

"I can take it."

Edward took a deep breath and looked deep into my eyes.

"This is hard for me to say."

"Just close your eyes and say it. I love you Edward and you can trust me."

Edward closed his eyes and said in a whisper "I was raped."

What what what!!! Where did that come from? You have to wait till the next chapter and I promise it will not take months.
