a/n: okay I know I've been MIA for like a bazillion amount of months but this chapter is twice as long as the other ones to make up for it. :) and I have legit excuses for not being able to write including getting swine flu and finals and all this other stuff, but you don't have to listen to that, just read. Oh and by the way, I am sorry if some stuff doesn't correspond to information from previous chapters, I seriously forgot a lot that has happened.

Recap:

-Bella is now in the band Twilight
-Edward heard Bella sleep talk in an elevator (I think) and she said one word. Jacob.
-We just left off when Edward was "captured" by Jacob in a bear hug.

Small Town Girls and Hollywood Boys

Chapter 15

EPOV

"Jacob?" I asked slowly, as we sat down on a nearby table.

"Hey dude. My brother from another mother. Long time no see." Jacob replied, trying to be a gangster, even though we both know that doesn't work out.

We rejoiced in a man hug and then composed ourselves.

"Jake, what are you doing here?" I asked him. Who invited him anyways? Not that I mind.

"Alice invited me over for a partay, as she called it." He replied. Before I could ask him how he knew Alice, a girl that looks quite similar to Bella walked over. She had long brown hair and was wearing a purple dress.

Hm.. She looks quite familiar, but I couldn't put a name to her face.

"Hey Edward." She said as she sat down on Jacob's lap.

I stared at her questionably. Do I know her?

"What? Don't remember me?" she asked with a playful smile. "Let me give you a hint. Swing set. Tree house. Intense Ice Hockey."

I looked at her, she gave me a big sigh. "Seriously Edward? You are pathetic."

Who is to say I'm pathetic. Sheesh. There is only one person who would call me pathetic and get away with it.

Nessie.

Oh. My. Goodness. Everything just came back to me. The tree house we spent endless summer nights in, that ice hockey game in the basement of Jacob's house, that swing set where I had my first kiss. How could I forget all that?!

"Nessie!" I said finally, then stood up to give her a giant hug.

She smiled then replied, "Wow, for a second there Edward I thought you have almost forgotten about me."

She then looked up at Jacob, who didn't bother to hide the amusement in his face. "It's not fair he remembers you more than me."

"Well it's not my fault, he liked me better. He always had. Even though he was literally with you, you always knew that he was just using you to get to me." Jacob replied with a wink.

"Okay! Now that's just taking it too far!" I said with a laugh. Damn, I've missed these guys.

"So what has been going on with you two?" I said suggestively at the two of them. Nessie blushed (like Bella, I should add), while Jacob just said grinned widely.

"Hey guys." I heard a voice say from behind me.

I turned around and saw Bella. "Wow, thanks for totally just ditching me over there." She said to Jacob and Nessie.

"Wait. You guys know each other too? Huh? What? How?" I said lamely.

Bella turned to me for the first time tonight, and looked at me with some indescribable feeling in her chocolate brown eyes.

"Jacob and Nessie have been my best friends before Alice and Rose came along, and Alice invited them over since I haven't been able to spend time with them lately." She said.

"What?" I asked without thinking. She's best friends with them? Since when?

"Let's just say it's a small world, Edward." She said as she looked at me strangely, then turned toward Jacob and Nessie, "You guys want something to eat?"

They agreed and left me sitting here. "You can come too if you want Edward." Bella called over her shoulder as I saw them head toward the kitchen.

"No, thanks, you guys just go ahead." I said, but they were already gone.

I sat here thinking about her friendship between Jake and Nessie, until I realized something. Jacob. That was what Bella said in the elevator when se was sleeping. That Jacob was Bella's best friend not her boyfriend.

How can I be so stupid. I slapped myself in the head. I have now officially ruined my chances with Bella. Stupid Edward. Stupid Edward.

I banged my head on the table a few times. Why didn't I even ask her? Why? Why did I even ask Lauren out of all people?

Lauren. Oops. Forgot about her.

I made my way back to the table where Lauren was still sitting, but now in front of her was a martini glass full of a fruity concoction.

I could see that she was going to say something but then she closed her mouth again, she then opened it again, but before she can say anything I interrupted her, "Save it Lauren. Not in the mood."

I sat down and put my head down on the table.

"But you didn't even hear what I have to say." I could hear her whine. I made no motion to lift my head from the table.

"You know, I could sense that you have just realized something extremely important and the way you are acting right now shows me that by not fixing it, you are going to regret this for the rest of your life."

I picked my head up from the table and stared at her. When did she become a freaking psychologist?

"So I probably would regret saying this, but I suggest you go talk to her and try to fix things, even though you know you are losing out on all this." She motioned to herself.

I stared awed at her; open mouthed as she nonchalantly picked up her drink and disappeared into the dissolving crowd.

That was strange.

I thought about what she said and then I realized that she was right. I got up from my seat and left in search of Bella.

I was in the kitchen with Jake and Nessie when Edward walked through the door. Jacob looked up at the sound of the door opening, then asked Nessie, "Do you want to go dance?"

Nessie then agreed, and they soon went on their way to go to the dance floor. Now they leave me with Edward. Great.

"See you man." Jacob said as he passed Edward in the door way. Edward then nodded his head, but kept his eyes on me.

"Bella! There you are, I've been looking all over for you." He said. I looked at him strangely. Looking for me? Okay, now that's a little strange since he didn't talk to me for a while. He purposely avoided me. Now he was looking for me? What is up with that?

He took a deep breath then started to talk.

"Okay, I know you probably think I'm a jerk and all that but I just wanted to say I'm sorry and you don't have to forgive me or anything, I just wanted to let you know." He said, rambling on.

"Okay Edward. Stop. What are you even talking about?" I asked him.

He looked at me confused, then opened his mouth to talk again.

"You know that day when I took you back home from the hospital?" How could I not forget that day? That was also the day that he started acting all weird and also the day when I saw him again.

"Uh, yeah I remember that day. You know it's not one of those days easily erasable in my mind." I told him.

He winced as he recalled the memories, but went on. "Okay so I'm guessing you have no idea why I kept on ignoring you."

I shook my head.

"In the elevator that day, when you were sleeping, you were sleep talking." I winced, thinking of what I could've said. "Well you also said one name."

I looked at him. Is he going to tell me or not?

"And that was..?" I asked him.

EPOV

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Jacob."

The moment I said Jacob's name, I heard a giggle which soon turned into an eruption of laughter. I opened my eyes and found that the melodic sound came from Bella herself.

I stared at her, What was so funny?

Bella tried to get some words out but every time she said something, she would burst into laughter again.

I am so confused right now. I didn't even get to explain anything.

When Bella was able to compose herself, she looked over at me.

"Okay, I think I got it." She said.

"You thought that since I said Jakey's name, you incorrectly assumed that he was my boyfriend. Therefore you completely decided to ignore me and be all avoiding because you thought I wasn't single. Am I right?"

I nodded my head, she got the basics of it.

Bella then continued, "HA! Jacob as my boyfriend. Now that was a funny thought Edward." She went into a fit of giggles again, this one not as long though.

When she finished her laughing, she asked me a question that I didn't quite have the answer to. "Edward, you are so silly. Why didn't you just ask me in the first place?"

I looked at her, that might've been the smart thing to do but I really don't know why I didn't.

"I don't know?" I said helplessly.

"Oh well, whatever was done was done, nothing we can do about it now. So we friends now? All cool?" she said, with her hand outstretched toward me.

"Yep, we are all cool now." I shook her hand. As soon as our hands touched a tinge of electricity went through my body. Did she feel that? No probably not.

"Awesome." she replied, "Not that I don't like your company or anything, but shouldn't you be with Lauren?"

"Lauren?" I asked stupidly.

"Yes, Lauren, your date?" Bella said slowly, like she was talking to a little kid who was having trouble understanding things. "You know? The girl who you took to this party?"

I was too mesmerized by her voice and that she was actually talking to me, that I didn't think much about her words. I quickly shook out of my trance and tried to compose a reply.

"Oh, yes, um. Lauren. She.." Where was she anyways? "..Went home. She didn't feel well so I had someone get her home safely, don't worry."

"Oh. Okay, then. Do you want to go get something to drink?" Bella asked.

"Sure." I said as I held my arm out in the direction of the door. "After you."

She grinned and led the way toward the bar.

BPOV

When Edward mentioned Jacob's name, me being the stupidest person ever, just starts laughing. I mean what kind of person does that?

I was actually quite relived that this whole thing Edward was mad at me about was just about Jacob. If I had sad something worse than that like "Edward you are so hot I wanna kiss you" when I was sleeping that would be bad. Even though it would most definitely be true. But I would never say that to him, as the feeling would probably not be mutual.

I'm quite confused though as to why he even cared if I was single or not. Maybe he liked me more than a friend. No. That's definitely not possible. Just friends. That's all I can hope for now since he started to talk to me again.

We would probably never be more than friends, me a girl from Forks who all of a sudden became some famous singer in one of the most popular bands, and Edward, who is like a freaking Greek god, has the voice of an angel, and probably thinks I'm a big hassle in his life, considering how clumsy I can be. Nope don't see any thing that can connect us.

"Oh well, whatever was done was done, nothing we can do about it now. So we friends now? All cool?" I asked him, trying to stay calm as I outstretched my hand for a handshake.

"Yep, we are all cool now." He said as he shook my hand.

When our hands touched, I felt a short current of electricity go through my veins and my heartbeat quickened. Something so magical just occurred and it was just one indescribable moment. Did he even feel that? No, probably not. I thought.

EmPOV

"EDDIE! BELLIE!!" I said loudly as I saw Edward and Bella at the bar that was set up. They quickly turned their heads toward the voice, and as soon as they saw me they turned back.

"HEY GUYS THAT'S NOT NICE!" I said as I made my way over. People were staring but I didn't care, our parents owned this house and threw this party so if they didn't like me, they can just leave.

I smiled to myself as I thought about this and then I sat on the barstool next to Bella.

"So, what? You guys are now all okay now? What even happened Eddie? You like ignored everyone for a good while and-"

Bella cut me off. "It all okay now Em it was just a misunderstanding. Don't worry." She said with a smile and a hug.

"Good, because I wouldn't want to deal with a moping Edward all next year." I said as I gave him a smirk. He rolled his eyes and went back to whatever he was drinking.

"Eddiee, Where's that slu- I mean, Lauren?" I asked, as I realized that she was no where to be seen.

"Um, she left." Edward said simply, ignoring the fact that I once again called him "Eddie".

"Okay that was good because I was going to think that you actually liked her. She's like the worst person you can ask to go to this party, why didn't you even ask Bella? I mean she's the nicest person in the whole wide world. Oh by the way did you see Jacob and Nessie I mean gosh I knew that they would eventually be together didn't you?"

"Emmett honey. Stop. You are rambling." I heard a wonderful voice say from behind me.

Rosalie. I smiled and turned around on the spinny barstool.

"Hey Rosie, what's up?" I looked at her lovingly. She was beautiful in that dress. And she was all mine.

"Nothing, just looking for Bella and Edward. And you. and Jasper. Okay well you get the point. I'm trying to get the band together to play a song or two before the guests leave, I mean you should since it is in your parent's house and I talked to Esme and she agreed." She got out.

"Um, okay, if that's alright with you Bella." Edward said. I watched as they responded to each other. It was easily seen that Edward liked Bella a lot more than Bella probably thought. The way he acted, it was like he was nervous but trying to stay calm.

I sat here thinking until someone pulled me out of my thoughts. "Emmett you coming? We do need a drummer you know." Rosalie called behind her as she made her way toward the makeshift stage.

"Yeah of course I'm coming, this band is not even complete with me and my manly beats!"

Rose laughed and just motioned for me to get over there at my spot behind the drums in the back. Why are the drums always in the back? I should get more credit for what I do. It's not as easy as it looks just banging the drums with sticks.

"Okay guys take it from the top we are going to do the one that we planned to sing first in our winter concert tour, not the last one but the FIRST one. Remember that one?" Rose said to the four of us.

"Yep, we got it." Bella replied as Edward and Jasper did the same in similar words, then went to their positions.

The first one. Which one was that one? How the hell was I supposed to know which one was first. I looked at Rose confused.

Rose came up to me and said in my ear, "You should have memorized the order by now, I told you to. Now since you have been a bad boy someone's going to punish you later. I might just have to Knock You Down." She then walked down the stage.

I shivered a bit. Rosie is so sexy. Wait what was the song?

"EMMETT!" I heard a chorus of calls from Jasper, Edward and Bella.

I thought about what Rose said. Wait Knock You Down! I got it.

"I'm going." I said as I made my way over to the drum set. Sheesh. Sometimes people can be so impatient.

JPOV

I took my place at the side of the stage with a keyboard and my microphone, i would have to be singing the additional part since we don't have a third singer.

Because we wrote this song with out a guitar no guitar so I got stuck with the keyboard. It sounds pretty cool though.

Rose walked to the front of the stage where Bella was and took her microphone from her.

"Hello out there! Okay, so you guys out there probably don't know, but I'm the band's new manager Rosalie Hale!" she said enthusiastically.

A few catcalls were heard as well as a chorus of Hellos. I even heard one from behind me. Emmett. I rolled my eyes.

He can be so immature sometimes; I don't even know what she sees in him.

"Okay so tonight the band would be playing just one song with our new addition, Bella Swan!" more catcalls and cheers.

"Tonight is a special night because not only do we have Bella and Edward singing, Jasper is going to give us a real treat and join in too."

More cheering, god I loved these crowds.

Rose gave the microphone back to Bella, and Edward started to talk. It seems as if everything is now normal between them two. That's strange. Hmm.. maybe I'll ask Edward about it later.

"So you guys ready to party?!"

A loud chorus of yes's filled the room.

"Now that's the sound I love to hear!" Bella said into the microphone, "Okay this song, is a brand new song that I wrote with Jasper!"

More cheering, and the spotlight was then put on me.

The reason I wrote this song with Bella was because Edward didn't care to come to our writing sessions. He was lucky enough that we even gave him a part in this song.

But the crowd is not going to know this.

"This song, is called Knock You Down. Enjoy guys." I said.

The main lights dimmed and the spot lights shone on me, Bella, and Edward.

Knock You Down by Keri Hilson ft. Ne-yo and Kanye West.

Skip if you want, its just the lyrics. Link for this song on my web page. And I know, Jasper is not the rapping type but just deal with please because its like 1 AM now and I cant find another good song.

Italic: Bella [Keri Hilson]

Underline: Jasper [Kanye West]

Bold: Edward [Ne-Yo]

Not again. Oh this ain't supposed to happen to me

Keep rockin and keep knockin'
Whether you're Louie Vuittonin' it up, or Reebokin'
You see the hate that they serving on a plater
So what we gon have dessert or disaster?

I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
Then you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like I'm in a race but I already won first place
I never thought I fall for you as hard as I did (as hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinking about our life, our house and kids (Yeah)
Every morning I look at you and smile
Cause boy you came around and you knocked me down (knocked me down)

Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

I never thought I hear myself say
Ya'll gon hate
I think I'm going to kick it with my girl today
I used to be commander-in-chief for my pimp ship flying high
Till I met this pretty little missile, who shot me out the sky
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

Tell me now can you make past your caspers
So we could finally fly off into NASA
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams
To seem to only date the head of football teams,
And I was the class clown that always kept you laughing
We were never meant to be, baby we just happened
So please don't mess up the trick,
Hey young world, I'm the new slick rick,
They say I move to quick but we can't let this moment past us,
Let the hour glass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ashes right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
how could a goddess ask someone that's only average, for advice
O-M-G you listen to that bitch?
Woah is me, baby this is tragic
Cause we had it, we was magic
I was flying, now I'm crashing
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now, I'ma ask him

So you gotta take the good with the bad, the happy and the sad
Or will you bring the better future then I had in the past
Cause I don't want to make the same mistakes i did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
Woah, woah
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer loves call
Woah, woah
And if it hits, better make it worth the fall

Sometimes love comes around (love comes around, love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around (comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down).

So now I'm crashing don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could go back and make it happen faster
Don't you know i would baby if I could
Miss independent, to the fullest, the load never too much
She helping me pull it, she shot bullet that ended that life
I swear to you the pimp in me just died tonight girl sometimes love

Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love comes knocks you down

Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You see when love knocks you down

APOV

As they ended the song, I could hear the crowd cheering loudly. They all looked fabulous out there, thanks to moi, the fashion expert. I must say, this is a good song that Bella wrote with Jasper.

This is a song that portrayed exactly how Bella felt about Edward. And he probably didn't even know that. But if I predicted right, they will be together eventually, because they are most like each other, their stubbornness and everything.

I cheered loudly along with the crowd screaming out Jasper's name, then I ran up the stage and gave him a hug.

"You guys did awesome" I said into his ear.

"Thank you Alice." He replied with a kiss on my cheek.

"Look at Edward and Bella." Jasper then said.

I turned toward their direction and watched as they talked to each other on the stage, laughing and pretty much oblivious to the outside world.

Apparently they have gotten over their little feud of which Bella had no idea what it was about. I would have to ask her later.

"You know, I think they just might love each other." I said quietly, unsure of what he would think.

"Yes, I think so too. But neither of them is going to realize that their significant other has those feelings back. I know Edward, and he's going to be so stubborn to even begin think that Bella has feelings for him." Jasper replied.

I thought about what he said, and it was true. There was no way Edward and Bella would get together on their own. They just need a little push toward the right direction, and I had a plan.

a/n: I hope that didn't bore you to death, and tons of POV changing sorry. Eddie and Bella not together yet. But soon!

In a few days I'm off to vacation so no updates then, but right after I come back, expect some more chapters because I think I have a feeling of where I want this story to go. :D

For those of you who were reading my other stories, (One Step at a Time and Find the Key to Unlock my Heart), I have decided that I will NOT post them back up UNTIL I get them done. Sorry. After I finish writing them, I will post each story back up with an update once or twice a week. I have figured out that instead of having you readers wait all the time for the next update, I mine as well write it all so not much waiting okay?

Sorry for the long authors notes, but to celebrate me being back on fanfiction, you wanna click the green button and review? I know you do ;)

Love you.
