Small Town Girls and Hollywood Boys
Chapter 7
EPOV
Wow. I still can't believe that Bella wrote that song that she sung yesterday. (a/n: You Belong with Me, by Taylor Swift. Remember?)
Still in shock from that, if you haven't noticed.
I wonder who or what inspired her to write it. Sounded like something that she would write to a boyfriend. Hm… maybe she has a boyfriend. I mean a beautiful girl like her has to have a boyfriend. But then why is that guy not here?
Anyways, the security guards, watched the tapes yesterday, and found out that the person, who rigged the first voting results, was Irene. Tanya's sister.
Apparently, they questioned her and found out that Irene knew that there was no way for Tanya to win it on her own, so she just hacked into the computer system and did some fancy work on it.
Tanya was supposedly, ashamed and embarrassed, so they made the decision up to me and the guys to press charges against her or not. (a/n: not really sure u can press charges against that type of crime…)
So, I guess I will have to talk to Jasper and Emmett, when they woke up.
BPOV
"YOO HOO!!!" someone screamed out, next to my bed.
I tousled over, not wanting to wake up at the moment. All night yesterday, we went clubbing to celebrate, me winning, and Alice and Rose getting awesome dream jobs. I was exhausted. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper didn't want to come along because I think they said that they have a concert today, and didn't want to get the horrible aftermath of something people call "hangovers".
Since I was "designated driver", I didn't drink anything but a can of sprite. I can get drunk pretty easily, so I skipped out on having even one.
The whole night at the club went by weirdly. Guys came out of no where, offering me to dance and buy me drinks. I think I had a good amount of phone numbers in my clutch I was holding yesterday. I politely declined the dances, but I had no say in what to do with the drinks.
That normally doesn't happen to me. Alice and Rose were usually the girls who got all the attention at the clubs back in Washington. And this wasn't even because I won that competition either.
Flashback
"Here you go ma'am. This is from that guy, over there." The waitress pointed, annoyed, while handing me a lime green martini. This was probably around the 8th drink she had to give me, and I didn't even have to pay for it.
"Thanks." I replied, and set it down on the table that I was sitting at.
Alice and Rosalie were sitting across from me, chatting to themselves, but their eyes lit up, as I set the drink down.
"Thank you Bella." They said in unison. They have been accustomed to saying it together after I got annoyed that they wouldn't even thank me for getting them free drinks. Even though I was only kidding when I said that.
Since I haven't been drinking, they've been drinking my drinks for me. I rolled my eyes. I don't even think they bought one drink themselves, just drinking the money that guys were spending on me. This was hilarious.
Rose could hold down alcohol pretty well, and Alice, lets just say she could hold them as well as Rosalie. Just maybe a bit better, though why, I don't know.
End Flashback
"BELLY WELLY!!! TIME TO WAKEY WAKEY!" the voice exclaimed again. I turned over to see who was disturbing my sleep.
Alice.
"Hey Bella. Glad you have finally decided to wake up!" Alice said as she perched at the end of my bed.
I groaned, and quickly turned to the other side of the bed. The side that's not facing her. I love her like a sister and all, but sometimes, she can cross the line.
"Bella!! You can't go back to bed!! Bella!! We have important stuff to do today!!" she whined.
I pulled the covers over my head and mumbled a quick "go away."
After about two minutes, the door closed.
The coast is clear. I sighed and turned over the covers.
"AHHH!!!" I screamed. I was suddenly drenched in freezing cold ice water. Alice was hovering right over me, with a metal bucket in one hand and a cell phone in the other.
"Tricked ya." She smirked. I heard a roaring laughter coming out of her phone. She quickly then mumbled a "thanks Emmett." And a "kay, see you later Jasper."
"Yeah, whatever. Fine I'm up." I grumbled and sat up, shivering. "Where's Rose?"
"Um… let's just say, she's been in the bathroom for a while. I think she might stay here for most of today." I nodded my head.
Rose had a hangover. It still confuzzles me. Why does Rose get bad hangovers but Alice doesn't? And they both drunk like a billion drinks yesterday.
JPOV
"Hello?" Alice's voice chirped through my cell.
"Hey Alice, I was just wondering, if you, Bella and Rose want to come see our concert today, then go out somewhere for dinner maybe. We have VIP passes for you three." I said into the phone, and then hesitated. "And if Bella feels comfortable, she can sing a song with Edward as an 'encore'. I paused again. "maybe."
"Jazz- I mean Jasper! That sounds great! I'll let Bella and Rose know. But I don't know if Rose might need to take a rain check." Alice said. "Bella's kind of still sleeping, so it might take me a while to wake her up, any ideas?"
Why might Rose need to take a rain check? Emmett looked at me and turned his head to the side, as if thinking. Then he smiled real big.
"Hm… when she has her head under the covers, walk toward the door, like you are defeated, then quickly and quietly walk back to Bella, and hover over her, and surprise her with a refreshing ice water shower!!!" Emmett exclaimed. "It scares the hell out of Edward and Jasper!" he added. (a/n: idk why I always have Bella wake up in an ice shower. was in my other story too. Aw well..)
I groaned. I remember when he did that. The last time he did that to me was in 8th grade. He wanted to wake me up for school, and I didn't want to, so yeah, I guess you know what the outcome was. Except I almost peed in my pants. Such horrible memories.
Alice's sweet laughter filled the room. "Kay thanks Emmett! Am I on speakerphone or something? Why can you guys like all hear me?"
"Yeah, you're on speaker phone, we couldn't decide who would call you, so we wanted to just do it at the same time." Edward explained.
A slight Ohh sound was made from Alice, showing that she understood. "Okay then. Now be quiet, I'm going to go into Bella's room." Emmett sat at the edge of his chair clearly excited to hear what happens.
A few shuffles of her feet, I heard her open a door. Then I think she said "YOO HOO and BELLY WELLY TIME TO WAKEY WAKEY." I laughed along with Emmett and Edward, who was chuckling lightly.
Soon after, I heard the door close and a loud scream. Emmett started laughing really loud.
Alice giggled into the phone, then murmured her thanks, as she was in a fit of laughter on the other side of the line. I turned off the speakerphone.
"Kay, once you guys are all ready, come over to the studio, so we can practice and someone will show you what to do and where everything is for your job."
"That sounds great. Although your new manager isn't going to come." Alice replied.
"Why?"
"One word. Hangover."
"Ohh… okay. Give her some water and some aspirin or something. Hope she feels better."
"Okay Jazz- I mean Jasper, See you later." She said then shut the phone with a click. Did she just call me Jazz? Hm… I like it. Jazz. Sounds cool.
RPOV
Ugh. Today is such a bad day. I shouldn't have drunk all those drinks.
I bent down over the toilet once more. Ugh. I could spend a whole day in here. Might as well make myself comfortable.
These were one of the days when I was envious of Alice. I mean how in the whole damn world can she drink that many drinks and yet not have a bad hangover? I really don't wanna see the guys today in the condition that I'm in now.
Ew. I feel like crap.
BPOV
After I emerged from the shower, I went to go put on the clothes Alice had left me for the day. On the bed was a short denim skirt from Hollister, and a pink floral cross back tank. I quickly slid on a pair of flip flops, and came out of the bathroom. Even though it was almost the end of November, it was still pretty warm here in California.
Alice was waiting, and she was wearing a pair of skinny jeans with heels that matched her yellow top. (a/n: their outfits are on my homepage, the link for my homepage is on my profile…)
"How come you get the jeans and I get the skirt?" I asked Alice. She knew how much I disliked skirts and dresses of the sort.
"Because. I let you wear flip flops today."
Hm… that was true, I mean she normally doesn't let me wear flip flops, unless she wants something. I raised one eyebrow.
"Alice…?"
"Hm…?" she said with a raised eyebrow on her face also, and a bagel in her hand.
"You know what. Alice now just tell me now."
"Fine. Um…IsortakindaagreedforyoutosinganencorewithEdwardattheirconcerttodaythenweareallgoingouttoeat." She said hurridly with a sheepish smile.
"Alice. Slower." I said. I can never ever understand what she says when she says things way too fast.
"Ugh. Fine. I told Jasper and the guys that you would sing a song with them today at their concert, then we are going to go eat afterward." She said then shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh." I managed to get out. How did I get into this mess? Oh yeah. The last couple of days proves everything.
"Anyways come on! We have to meet the guys at the studio. For practice." Alice said then pulled me out the door.
EPOV
Alice and Bella arrived to the studio just seconds before we did, in a red convertible.
Bella looked stunning, even in everyday clothes. How she can make such simple pieces of clothing look so beautiful. Alice hopped out of the passenger seat and ran to Jasper.
I chuckled lightly. They were so perfect for each other. Even though their personalities are different, they have this deep connection that's really hard to explain.
"So… are you going to let us in or just keep staring?" Bella asked. I blinked a couple times, gaining my senses back.
"Oh..erm.. right." I said as I fumbled through my pockets for the key to the studio. Emmett gave Bella a high five.
"Great job Belly Welly!! You've got to be the first girl that can get little Eddie to stammer." He said that loud enough for the whole world to hear. Jeez. Bella glared at the nickname then blushed.
"Shut up Emmie." I mumbled. I knew he hated to be called Emmie as much I hated to be called Eddie.
BPOV
Wow. I can't believe that I actually had the guts to say that to the Edward Cullen. And I can't believe that Emmett had to bring up what happened this morning. I am so going to get back at Alice one of these days.
Anyways, the rest of the practice went smoothly. After they have decided that I would sing another song that I wrote called Better in Time. (a/n: Better in time is by Leona Lewis.) Which Alice just HAD to bring it to their attention. I have to admit, Emmett and Jasper are awesome musicians, who can learn things in minutes.
Edward disappeared while we were practicing. I wonder if he's happy about me being here. I mean how would you think if you just "barged" in and just automatically took a place in the band. Now I feel guilty.
Emmett and Jasper took a lunch break and told me that I could explore but don't break anything. I laughed at that part, but knowing how clumsy I am, I didn't touch anything just to be safe.
I am happy and awed that I am actually part of this. It can be quite scary though. After the world knows that I am part of their group and I would have paparazzi following me everywhere. I didn't want to anticipate that part of all the fame.
I walked down the halls until I found a room where they actually record their songs. It was amazing inside that professional recording studio; I had tons of fun playing with the buttons. I just couldn't stop myself.
"Ahem." Someone said. I froze and turned around, a look of fear evident in my eyes.
It was just Edward. He had a mean glare on his face.
"Oh… Hi Edward. Sorry for playing with all the buttons. Got a little carried away." I said, as I blushed lightly. Inside, I was praying that he wouldn't be that mad. But then he did something unexpected.
He let out a roaring laugh. I looked on confused.
"You. –more laughter- should've seen –laugh- your face." He said as he bent over as he laughed some more.
I sighed. Typical guy behavior.
"Yeah, well, I'll just be getting on my way." I said, trying to slip past him, out the door. He grabbed my arm.
"No, wait." He said as he regained his breath. "That's okay, sorry if I scared you or something. I remember my first time I saw those buttons. I just sat there playing with them for the whole day." he gave me a crooked smile.
My knees went weak, then he leaned toward me. Nothing could ruin the moment.
That is… until my phone rang. "Excuse me." I mumbled then pulled my phone out of the small pockets of the skirt. I frowned.
Alice.
To: Bella
From: Alice
Where are you? I'm in the parking lot. Come out soon.
"That's Alice. I got to go." I said quietly, but then saw a slight look of disappointment on his perfect face. "Sorry, but I'll see you later." I said then walked out the door with a wave.
Wow. That wasn't awkward at all. I walked out the doors of the studio passing, Emmett and Jasper who was sitting near a table eating tacos. I waved to them and headed to the car.
"Thanks a lot Alice." I mumbled then got into the drivers side of the car.
"What happened? Spill now." She demanded. I shook my head.
"Not telling, since you ruined the moment." I muttered.
"Oh. Sorry. He was about to kiss you wasn't he?" Alice said excitedly but then got quiet as she realized what she had done. I didn't reply.
"You like him." Alice stated, looking straight at me. I kept my eyes on the road.
"I don't know." I replied then pulled into the parking lot of the hotel. Thankfully she didnt further question, but from the corner of my eye, i saw her grinning.
But truthfully, I did know. I was falling for him and fast.
