Small Town Girls and Hollywood Boys

Chapter 8

BPOV

"Bella. Guys. We are on in 5." Rose walked in, with a clipboard in her hand and one of those ear piece things in her ear. She had gotten over her little hangover and was ready to start her job as manager, and from what I see now, she's doing a much much better job than Mike.

"Breathe Bella. Just Breathe." I kept murmuring to myself.

"Hey yo Bella! Are you coming or not?" Emmett called from the doorway. Oh. I didn't realize they all got up already.

"Yeah, I'm coming." I said then reluctantly pulled myself off of the dressing room couch. I straightened my shirt and tried to prepare for what was to come.

Alice is probably the best makeup/costume manager ever. And I'm not just saying that because she's one of my best friends. She had managed to pull together awesome outfits for all of us in less than half an hour. I was in a pair of skinny jeans, with blue converse shoes and a simple blue tank. Everything was erm… very blue. (a/n: outfit on homepage.)

But I had to agree that her concert attire was way better then what she makes me dress in normally. Now she wouldn't dress me in a short skirt, because people down there can see up. So now it's just me and my jeans. Or the costume department's jeans. I like it that way.

"Bella?" Alice said waving her hands in front of my face, "Are you ready? The guys are going to go onstage now, but they kindof need you to be there."

"Oh right." I said then rushed toward where Edward was standing. Someone on my right, handed me something to stick in my ears and a black walkie talkie looking thing to stick in my back pocket. (a/n: I have no idea what those are tho… I just see people wearing them ;))

"So, are you ready to face the world?" Edward said as he laughed lightly.

"Um… what?" I asked. What the heck was he talking about? Before I got an answer the Edward left to go on stage, while Jasper and Emmett stayed behind with me.

Before the curtain closed, I looked out into the crowd. Now I understood what Edward was talking about. There was so many people at this concert, you would've thought the whole world was here.

I gulped. Hoping that I would be able to get through this night. I mean what's the worse that can happen when you sing a song that you wrote when your ex boyfriend left you? A lot could happen. A lot.

EPOV

The lights dimmed and the crowd cheered. Then the spotlight shone on me. From the corner of my eye, Bella looked scared out of her mind backstage, I gave her a comforting smile and I glanced at Jasper, who knew what I wanted to say to her.

Jasper walked toward Bella and whispered something in her ear, I wanted so much to just go over to her and comfort her but the show must go on.

"Hey everyone! How are you?!" I screamed into the microphone. The was a thunderous cheer and screaming, a few "I love yous!!" and "Will you marry me?!" I laughed to myself. These people were ridiculous.

"Okay so you guys probably might know that after our auditions in the past week, we have chosen one lucky girl who would be part of our band. She will be performing a song tonight and hopefully forever, so let's give a hand for our new band member, Bella Swan!" I said.

Bella walked on stage, waving and smiling to the crowd as she came to join me. The crowd again cheered for her. All the fear that was in her face disappeared. I wonder what Jasper said to her. Or maybe, she's just really good at hiding her emotions.

"Wow. There is a lot of you guys here." she stated, her eyes wide. I laughed, as did the crowd. She blushed but went on. "Okay well, as you guys probably know, my name is Bella, and I am going to sing a song for you tonight."

While she was talking to the crowd, I saw Emmett get into his position at the drums, and Jasper was backstage, talking to Alice. He didn't have a part to play in this song.

I quickly glanced at Rosalie, to make sure everything was where it was supposed to be, lights and sound. She gave me a thumbs up. So far so good. I made my way over to the piano.

"Okay, so I wrote this song, when one of my ex-boyfriends broke up with me, and I hope it inspires all you girls out there that no matter what happens, everything will be okay in the end." She said in the microphone with a weak smile, and then nodded at me to start. In rehearsals 10 minutes before this, she kept a calm face, but I think there's something more behind this song then what she really shows.

I sighed then started the beautiful melody. (a/n: if you don't remember, the song that "Bella wrote" was Better in Time which is actually from Leona Lewis. Song links are on my profile.)

(Ooooh)

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Emmett then started his part.

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

She walked to the other side of the stage; people in the audience stayed quiet and waved their cell phones in the air. Making the auditorium fill with different colored bright lights, swinging left to right and so on.

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the past
I believe it
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

I heard some yelling at the back of the auditorium, and saw a man struggling against the security guard's grip. Bella looked toward him, then turned away quickly as if even looking at the man was poisonous.

Bella hit each note perfectly, it was perfect. The crowd cheered and whistled a thunderous applause. Bella smiled and said a thank you, then went backstage. I could've sworn, once she turned around, with her back faced toward the crowd, her eyes were watery, I wanted to go back there and comfort her and ask her what's wrong, but Rose motioned me to go on with the show, and then I saw her run after Bella.

BPOV

I saw him. The one that I vowed never to see or think about ever again. But that all changed, in one glance.

Why did I have to sing that song.

"Bella! Wait up!" I spun around. Rose was jogging toward me.

I turned back around and kept walking to nowhere in particular. There wasn't many places you can escape to in this theater. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone right about now.

"Bella. I'm sorry. I had no idea that he was going to be here." Rose said, as she caught her breath, from running.

"Yeah. Whatever. It's okay. Really." I tried to assure her, but im pretty sure she could see right through me.

RPOV

I jogged toward the direction Bella went to, after I told Edward to keep going with the show. I cant believe that he even tried to show up. That bastard that broke her heart some two years ago. I don't even want to think of him either.

"Bella!! Bella! Wait up!" I called to her. She turned around at the sound of her name, but turned back around forward, like she didn't see or hear me.

I ran faster, thank goodness I decided to wear flats today, instead of heels. I mean flats are not much better, but they would have to do for now.

"Bella. I'm sorry. I had no idea that he was going to be here." I said, breathing heavily.

"Yeah. Whatever. It's okay. Really." Bella was trying to assure me. But she was lying. I could tell. Her words didn't match her eyes.

"Bella." I said in a stern voice.

"What?" she said harshly. I took a step back. She never did anything that harsh to me before.

"Okay, wait Rose I'm sorry. It's not your fault. I just. I don't know. I don't want to see him again. ever." She said then ran into my arms like a two year old. I gave her a hug and tried to comfort her as she cried into my shirt. After a few moments she lifted her head up.

"Oh I'm sorry for ruining your shirt." She said as she wiped her face with the tissue I handed her. I couldn't care less about the shirt, as long as she was okay.

"Doesn't matter. Are you ready to go in before they report you missing?" I said lightly.

She laughed, and nodded her head. When we went in, I led her to her dressing room, since the concert wasn't over just yet.

As soon as the guys finished their last song, Edward ran backstage, running into me.

"ROSE! Is Bella okay? Where is she?" he asked frantically. Awwh… he cares about her.

"She's fine. Just give me a minute, let me see if she is ready to see anyone." I answered. Edward nodded his head and walked toward Emmett and Jasper.

??? POV

Oh my god. It's sickening to see her sing that song. I cant believe that she actually thought that I loved her.

I mean sure, I said it to her a couple of times, but it didn't mean anything.

Actually I was quite glad that she saw me with Jess. Her face was completely priceless. And of course she didn't even want to hear Jessica tell her that it's all my fault.

My fault? Yes. Does she know that Jess had nothing to do with it? No.

Hm… I wonder if she saw me when I was putting up a fight with the security guards. I think it's time for me to make an official reunion.

BPOV

After I calmed down a bit, Rose came in and took me out to see the guys and Alice. They acted like nothing happened, thank god. Except Edward kept throwing me these annoying "are you alright" glances.

I ignored him and listened to them talk about pointless things. Then we decided to go to an Italian restaurant for dinner then to Edward's to hangout.

It was amazing inside the restaurant, the interior decoration was completely breathtaking. Once we were seated, I could've sworn I saw a dark figure pass behind me, but shook that out of my head.

I ordered mushroom ravioli which was delicious by the way, and I stole some bits of Edward's food too when he wasn't looking. He ordered some kind of fancy pasta with a fancy sauce, which had a name that I could not say.

"Hey!" Edward said as he caught me poking my fork at his pasta.

I laughed. "You didn't notice before, plus your food is really good."

"Well, no wonder it was disappearing. And I thought I was seeing things." Everyone laughed. He eyed my ravioli.

I took another poke at his pasta, and then passed him the rest of my ravioli. He took one bite, and passed me his plate, in exchange for mine. I smiled and continued eating his dinner.

After we were done eating, the guys paid for the bill, claiming it was "their pleasure to accompany such lovely ladies to dinner." It was hilarious, like they had it all planned out because they said it all at the same time.

Emmett, Rose, Alice and Jasper left first taking Jasper's car, since it fit five people. I had to ride with Edward in his Volvo.

"Sit here for a minute. Okay?" Edward said.

I looked at him questionably.

"Going to get dessert so we have some food to eat once we are all at my place." He explained.

I nodded. "Wouldn't Jasper and Emmett get to your place first?"

I wondered how they were going to get in.

Edward nodded and said, "Well, if they remembered where I put the spare key then they could get in, but if they didn't, then they would just have to wait. It's not that cold outside, plus they make the best cheesecake here." he said with a crooked smile.

He was dazzling me, like always. "Okay." I managed to get out. He swiftly walked toward the dessert area.

So here I was sitting alone, in a packed restaurant in a chair of to the side near the wall.

"Hello Bella. Fancy Seeing you here." A vile voice said above me.

I looked up.

"James." I said stiffly
