Today was the sing off. Jasper and I had chosen me to sing and Rose's team chose Edward. The stage was set up in the meadow where Charlie and Pack sat on plastic lawn chairs. Some members of the tribe were there as well. I wondered what Alice had told them to make them come here. I was wearing a blue sundress that was cotton and off shoulder. It had an elastic smocked bodice and of course these were the Cullens so the designer was Shannon Rodges. Edward looked dashing in a simple white shirt and dark blue jeans.
"Thank you everybody for coming here, for the past month we've been doing the Cullen Family tournament and this is he Cullen Idol portion. The finalists are Bella and Edward." Alice announced. The crowd cheered. I peeked through the curtain and my eyes caught strawberry blond hair. Alice had invited the Denalis!!
"Yes they have managed to make it to the finals. It looks like its going to be a difficult challenge. But first all the other poor ones that didn't make it will sing. So first let's welcome the first to lose come out of the running Jasper Hale." Emmett announced. As Jasper's name was announced a surge of applause was coming from the audience.
Jasper walked onto the stage and began singing Leavin' by Jesse McCartney.
Hey baby girl
I've been watching you all day
Man that thing you got behind you is amazing
You make me want to take you out and let it rain
I know you got a man but this is what you should say
Chorus:
Why don't you tell him that I'm leavin' never looking back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
No more making you cry
No more them gray skies
Girl we flying on a g-5, g-5
And we're leavin' never looking back again
So call your shawty you tell him you found a new man
The one who's so so fly
The one to keep you high
Have you singing all night, like that
Now if I talk it girl, you know that I will walk it out
Man I'll put my money money where my mouth is
Cause you're the baddest little thing that I've ever seen
So I'm gonna ask you one time if you got a man
Chorus
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Just tell him to the left left left
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Cause we gone & we gone & we gone
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl you deserve nothing but the best
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl you need to tell him...
Chorus
As Jazz neared the end of the song the audience roared with applause. Next will be Emmett singing Forever by Chris Brown.
As Emmett finished his song everyone in the audience stood up and clapped. Rose was up next singing "I need a hero" by Frou Frou. The audience clapped for her as well. Finally Alice sang Won't stop by Lauren Christoff. Carlisle and Esme who were posing as the judges did not join in with the singing.
"Okay everyone the wait is over our two finalists Edward and Bella will sing their songs that will actually be marked. So first up is… EEDDDWWWAARRD CUULLEENN" Emmett announced stretching out Edward's name.
Edward walked out onto centre stage and began singing Jesse McCartney's Because you Live. But before that he said, "Bella this is for you"
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live
Edward sang melodiously. His velvety voice carried out over the crowd. Everyone sat quietly and listened. Jasper dragged me out to the stage and started dancing with me. Edward threw me a smile. And continued. As the song ended everyone was quiet for a moment but the audience erupted with applause. I saw Tanya look at Edward and give him wink. Jealousy flowed through me and Jasper tried to calm me down He was only half successful. Edward came to me and twirled me once to no music and whispered that he loved me in my ear. That's all It took to calm me.
"Next my new sister Bellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Culllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnn" Droned Alice.
I walked onto the stage. I had always been very shy and I was still shy. Too bad Jazz couldn't use his power on me now.
"Hi everyone I'm Bella" I stated the obvious.
"Hi Bella"
"Um.. hi I'll be singing Drive my Soul by Lights and I'm not copying Edward but this song is dedicated to him. He really does drive my soul so here it is." The crowd clapped waiting.
The music started and I sang putting all my emotions into the song. Unlike the other Cullen's I had a very soft voice so it sounded just as good from my voice as it did from the actual singer's. I still had low self esteem, I don't think I was a very good singer.
Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the road is a minefield
I can't follow the way she moves
I can't see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear
When you are gone
Will I lose control?
You are the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can't expect the hard curves
There is no borders
There are no lines
How can I know where to turn?
You make the street lights reappear
I feel bright when you stand near
I know what I am when you are here
My place becomes so clear
When you are gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive me soul?
Will I lose control?
You're the only road that I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Drive my soul
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
When I finished the audience gaped at me. Was I really that good a singer or were they shocked at how terribly I sang. They all stood up to give me a standing ovation. Edward went over to talk to Carlisle and Esme and they nodded at something. He came up to me took me in his arms and kissed me. At first I was shocked but then I kissed him back there was a chorus of awe's and whistles from the wolves most likely oh and probably Emmett too. He let go of me and took the microphone from my hand.
"Isabella Marie Cullen, because of you there are twice as many stars in my sky, I love you so much that if you ever left me I'll die. Thank you for being mine always…forever" He whispered the last part. I would've cried had I been human.
I could hear Embry and Quil yell 'Say something' I took the mic. from Edward and sang a little part that applied to me and Edward from a song called Pretty Baby by Vanessa Carlton.
"Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty baby why can't you see
You're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
For you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
As long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby"'
This didn't sound so good; my voice was raspy as I neared the end. Had I been human I would've been crying up a storm.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen I love you, and I'll always love you forever and forever. Until the sun goes out and the stars leave the sky, no matter what I'll always love you" I cried tearless sobs. Edward held me as I sobbed into his chest. Everyone got up and clapped for us. The wolves Embry and Quil howled and Emmett was giving cat calls from backstage.
Esme and Carlisle walked onto the stage and simply said "Thank you for coming" and everyone left. What did everyone know that I didn't. I'd ask Alice later, right now I was content being in Edward's arms. We all went home and asked Carlisle and Esme " Who won?"
"Well it's a tie once again so we'll have to do one last challenge and if that also turns out to be a tie then the winners will be both teams."
"Well," Emmett interrupted, "Since Carlisle and Esme chose this challenge we as in Alice and I will choose the next challenge."
"Alright Emmett" sighed Carlisle.
"Good because we knew something like this would happen so we planned before hand" Rang Alice's soprano voice.
"Drum roll please"
We actually heard a drum roll and Emmett and Alice started together "The next challenge is…"
