Summer Memories Chapter 7: First Kisses and Goodbye, a twilight fanfic

A/N: Okay Guys, I need the reviews. I want to know what you are thinking, if your liking it, anything confusing, any suggestions of what you want to see happen. At the moment i can see people are reading it, but not many people are leaving me feedback. So please, i'm now begging (yes i have resorted to begging) for reviews. I wanna know.

Also i was havinga bit of trouble withmy computer so this may or may not be on here a couple of times.

Thanks and leave me some love.. xx

So here I am. Sitting by myself in the middle of the stage, guitar in hand, microphones propped to the right positions, stage lights gleaming down on me, almost blinding me, obscuring the audience from my view. I actually think that may be a good thing, I could only make out a few of the tables. Thankfully they all contained the ladies from the party, and they were basically in high spirits. I try to get comfortable in my chair, my nerves hitting me fast and hard. I had never performed this song in public before. I had never performed in public full stop.

I lower my head, focusing on the stage and begin to take deep breaths. I drown out the MC's voice as he announces that I will be singing a song that I wrote myself. I can see the girls clapping and cheering, trying to egg me on. I focus on the beat of my heart, drowning out all the outside noise. I'm not certain whether or not it's the alcohol talking, but I all of a sudden feel more relaxed, confident even. Strumming my hand cautiously over the chords, I take a deep breath. And begin to play…

I could honestly say
You've been on my mind
Since I woke up today (up today)
I look at your photograph
all the time
These memories come back to life
And I don't mind

I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
i remember those simple things
I remember till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
A memory I wanna forget
Is goodbye

I begin to feel the music flow through my veins, the meaning of these words overwhelming me..

I woke up this morning
And played our song
And I know my tears sing along
I picked up the phone and then put it down
Cuz I know I'm wasting my time
And I don't mind

I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
I remember those simple things
I remember till I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
A memory I wanna forget

I feel the tears start to slip down my cheeks. I try to ignore them. I ignore the fact that, right now.. in this very moment, I am revealing to a bunch of practical strangers one of the most sentimental moments in my life..

Suddenly my cell phone's glowing up
With your ring tone
I hesitate but answer it anyway
You sound so alone
It does it right to hear you say

Remember when we kissed
You still feel it on our lips
The time that you danced with me
With the no music playing
You remember those simple things
We talked till we cried
You said that your biggest regret
The one thing you wish I'd forget
Is saying goodbye
Saying goodbye
Ohhhh
Goodbye

I finish strumming the last few chords of the song. I can still feel the tears on my face. I look up at the audience, seeing no one, hearing no one. In the span of a three minute song I had fulfilled one of my best friends wishes, relived and exposed one of my deepest secrets, overcame my fear of singing my work in front of people and overcame me fear of singing in front of people full stop. In that very moment. I was numb, numb to everything.

That was until I was knocked backwards off my stool by two big baboons who seemingly tackled me from the side of the stage. As the hit landed, the two guys began laughing a deep hearty laugh. They sounded so young and free caring. Also like they had had a few drinks. There was also something vaguely familiar about these two guys, but I couldn't quite figure it out.

"and nooooooooow it's time for the very energetic performance by.." the MC announced looking down at a slip of paper ".. Quil and Embry" he finished moving off the stage.

Hold on one minute, Quil & Embry. Quil and Embry from La Push. Quil and Embry who I spent the last summer with. Quil & Embry who probably didn't know about what happened last summer. WAIT.. They are here and they are going to perform?

I was brought out of my inner thoughts by the guys pulling me up and beginning to dance on either side of me.

My first kiss went a little like this
And twist and twist
Well, my first kiss went a little like this
And twist and twist

I said no more teachers and no more books
I got a kiss under the bleachers, hopin' that nobody looks
Lips like licorice, tongue like candy
Excuse me, miss, but can I get you out your panties?

I glanced back at the front row tables. All the girls were staring, Angela winked at me and then nodded her head in Laurens direction. I took a quick glance and saw her seething. Not five minutes ago had she practically had an orgasm over these two guys and here they were on stage, practically humping my legs.

In the back of the car on the way to the bar
I got you on my lips, I got you on my lips
At the foot of the stairs with my fingers in your hair
Baby, this is it

She won't ever get enough once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way, you know that I'd make her say
She won't ever get enough once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way, you know that I'd make her say

Angela walked up to the front of the stage and handed me a new drink, leaning in to whisper "Let loose. Have some fun. You deserve it" before walking back to the others. I took a sip of my drink and thought 'fuck it' I'm going to enjoy this with my friends, who I haven't seen since last summer. I felt the effects of the alcohol flowing through me and began to feel a little bit more adventurous. I started to get into the song with the guys a bit more.

My first kiss went a little like this

I said no more sailors and no more soldiers
With your name in a heart tattooed up on their shoulders
Your kiss is like whiskey, it gets me drunk
And I wake up in the morning with the taste of your tongue

In the back of the car on the way to the bar
I got you on my lips, I got you on my lips
At the foot of the stairs with my fingers in your hair
Baby, this is it

My first kiss went a little like this
And twist and twist
Well, my first kiss went a little like this
And twist and twist

Dancing on the stage, pretending to kiss each of the guys as the song described, jumping up and down and really just not caring what anyone thought of us at that moment.

She won't ever get enough once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way, you know that I'd make her say
She won't ever get enough once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way, you know that I'd make her say

Once the song was over, I felt a little bit more dizzy, a lot drunker and surprisingly carefree. The guys ushered me off the stage and over to the bar, somehow i must have spilt majority of my drink on the stage, so i was in desperate need of a refill.

"Bella, oh my god what are you doing here?..." Embry asked

"It's been so long, when did you get back in town, how long are you back for?..." Quil continued

"oh my god.. we soooooo need to hang out some time, we could go cliff diving again.."

"or we could so totally take her to that spot we found the other day whi... are those girls over there with you?" Quil finished pointing in the direction of the hens party. I laughed, paid for my drink and turned to the boys.

"woow woow woow, Calm down.." I said waving my hands in front of them "Hen's night, got back on Monday, here for the summer, yes we should hang out some time, and yes I am with those girls over there" I finished taking another sip of my drink.

"so who's hens night are you attending and are any of them single?" Quil asked as he and Embry leaned back on the bar facing the crowd, drink in hands.

" the hens night is for best friend Angela Webber, you guys remember her, when i wasn't in La Push i was always with her, I'm actually the maid of honor, and yes there a few single ones in there. Want me to get their numbers for you?" i answered back raising my eyebrow suggestively.

"oh man, that would be awesome. Your the best Bella" he exclaimed making both Embry and i laugh.

"Anyway what are you guys doing here?" I asked realizing i hadn't hugged these guys in over a year. I pulled them each into a one armed hug.

"we came down with a bunch of friends from La Push for a night out on the town. You know get away from all our problems, even if it is just for one night." Embry said

"Hey you guys didn't happen to go to a bar named Ramones's did you? Quil asked

"ahh yeah, we were there earlier, why's that?" i countered.

"where you there when they had the stripper. The bar tender at the bar said that two of the girls were getting pretty handsy with him?.." Quil asked with a tone "wondering if you could point those two fine ladies out for me?" he finished.

I lowered my head to the ground trying to cover the giggling noise escaping my mouth and the tell tale blush rising on my cheeks.

"Come on which one's where it?" Quil pushed

I looked out into the crowd and found Angela, raising a hand in her direction, making both of the guys look.

"that's Angela, the BRIDE" I said emphasizing the word, noticing Quil's face drop "and the other.." i said trailing off. I must have been quite for a little bit too long because both guys looked in my direction.

"OH MY GOD IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT" they both exclaimed. I looked up at both the guys and decided to have my fun.

"Jealous that it wasn't you i was grinding up on?" i said as i began to make my way back over to the girls. I was just about to reach the out skirts of the group when i felt someone grasp onto my arm and pull me in the opposite direction.

"What the fuck.." i exclaimed as my captors lead me further back into the room.

"we only just got you back, think we are going to let you go that easily? Hell come sit with us for a bit, and we will introduce you to our friends" Quil said.

I just laughed and nodded my head as we finally reached a table full of Quileute people.

"Hey Guys, this is Bella Swan. Chief Swan's daughter, Head's bridesmaid at that.." Embry said pointing in the direction of the now wasted Angela "lady's wedding, and apparently, she is also one of the fine ladies that Joe the bar tender was telling us about back in the bar" he finished looking at me as I slapped his arm.

"Bella, this is Sam & Emily" he said gesturing to a man who had a woman sitting on his lap at the head of the table. They both raised their hands in greeting "… that's Paul, Brady, Colin, Jared, his girl Kim.." he said continuing around the table ".. Seth and his sister Leah, Lisa and Karina who are friends of Emily's.." he continued around the table ".. and then of course.. you remember.." he trailed off pointing of at the end of the table.

I had a huge drunken smile plastered on my face as i greeted everyone, saying hello as politely and slow as possible, trying to come off soberer than what I really was until my eyes landed on the one person, I wanted to see but was scared off.

"Jake!" was all I could get out

"Hey" was all he said...

Bit of a cliff hanger but I promise there will be lots of J/B action in the next chapter. Again please review and let me know if i'm out of my mind :-)
