Body Electric Chapter 4, a twilight fanfic

AN: Okay. Guys I'm really upset you guys aren't reviewing but I'll keep writing. So here is the next chapter.

Bpov/Lpov

I had just finished my first sold out show here in Paris and I have 2 more left. Let's just say things have been extremely different for me since the Cullen's have left me. Victoria never came back for me and those wolves have taken care of Laurent for me, so I've been safe. It's been 8 years since they have left and I am now 26 and extremely happy with how far I have come.

About a week or two after the Cullen's left I got into a terrible habit. Charlie was out on the rez and I was just sitting in my room moping, I went down to the kitchen to make something to eat and as I was looking through the cupboards I found some vodka. Who knew Charlie drank anything else than beer. After at least a half an hour of debating whether I should take a sip or not I finally did. I was soon drinking every day. I became addicted to alcohol and started doing hard core drugs every day and that happened for a good couple years, I also started writing songs and singing to get through the pain. I than went to the bar in PA just to drink and maybe snort a hoot or two. I was only a little bit tipsy after I was there for an hour or so. They announced it was karaoke night, so I decided hey why not perform. I decided to sing Born to run buy the king Bruce Springsteen. As I finished some guy came up to me asking if I would like to sing for a living. I soon made a meeting with him and I've been singing ever since.

Also I must have been 23 when I realised I was not as happy as I was when I started drinking, doing drugs and smoking. I changed and not in a good way. I ended up going to rehab and getting better but it has still been difficult. I have not been drunk since then but every once in a while I have a few sips of wine or beer but not enough to get me drunk. I stopped doing drugs but I do still smoke it calms me. I have one or two smokes a day not like a whole pack.

Since that one night in the bar I've released 3 albums: Lana Del Rey aka Isabella Swan which didn't do too good, Born to die and Paradise. I have won 10 awards since Born to die has been released.

I am now on my way to my second interview here in Paris. I will be on Taratata at 2 so I have at least a 20 minute drive left. I have also been seeing someone for a couple years, he was in my Born to Die video his name is Bradley Soileau (I know this is not her real boyfriend) for the last 3 and a half years. He was the one to actually encourage me to actually get help with my addictions. Yes he has a lot of tattoos but behind all of them he is an extremely nice guy to me. I still remember when he met my dad.

Flashback

Bradley and I were just driving from Seattle to Forks so he could meet my dad officially. To say I wasn't nervous would be an understatement I am extremely nervous. Hopefully he loves him just as much as I do.

"Honey don't be so nervous, everything will be okay, just calm down." He replied looking into my eyes while holding my hand and rubbing my leg with the other.

"I'm sorry you knew he didn't like my last boyfriend Edward, but I really care about you and if he doesn't like you I don't know what I will do." I said with tears forming in my eyes. He wiped the tears that were falling down my cheeks. He didn't say anything he just held me while I tried to calm myself down. I could feel my eye lids getting heavier and he just laid me down on his lap as I drifted off to sleep.

"Babe were here, wake up" Bradley said while kissing me face trying to get me to wake up. My eyelids fluttered open and the first thing I saw were his eyes boring into mine.

"Okay, let's just get this over with." I said nervously as I grabbed his hand and got out of the rental car and started walking into the house where I spent my last couple years of high school in. "DAD WE'RE HOME!" I yelled. I could hear him get off his precious chair and make his way to the front door where we were standing. I look to the left and see that he has not hung his gun up yet, which makes me slightly nervous. It does not help that we met on my video set and that his has a ton of tattoos. Charlie has already seen my Born to Die video and he was not very pleased that I was still smoking and I was half naked and being kissed every two seconds. Charlie turned the corner and his eyes were wide and he was turning purple, after a couple minutes of not saying anything he went back to normal and just stood there.

"Pleasure to meet you Chief Swan I've heard a lot about you from Bella here" as he stuck his hand out for Charlie to shake his hand. Charlie stuck it out and grasped it hard and shook it. He was also one of the only people to call me Bella instead of Lana.

"Pleasure to meet you Bradley and call me Charlie" I was completely shocked Charlie never asked Edward to call him by his first name.

"Okay Charlie. I just want you to know that I would never hurt your daughter I love you so much and I would die before anything bad happens to her on my watch" Bradley said while keeping a stern face but yet looking kind.

"I know boy, now let's go watch some TV, go fetch us some drinks will you Bells?" My dad said looking me in the eye than nodding knowing I have his approval.

End of Flashback

"Ms. Del Rey we have arrived" the driver said breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Thank you Danny" He nodded his head after I thanked him. I stepped out of the car and was immediately welcomed by my fans, I waved and hugged them and even kissed some on their cheeks. I was ushered into the building and was getting ready to go on. I was freaking the fuck out; I always get nervous before going on.

"Now everyone welcome the gorgeous and wonderful Lana Del Rey" Nagui yelled in the microphone as I walked in. I gave him a quick hug and sat on the two chairs waiting for us.

AN: Okay so I will be using real questions and answers form an interview with Lana. Interview will be in italics.

"I would like to ask you something in advance. Do you really like my music?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Oh. Thank you, that's surprising mostly everyone, hates my songs. I speak from experience.

"Is the melancholy in your music artistically arranged or a case for the therapist?"

"Neither. There's always been a melancholy in me, call it desire. I was four or five when I was sitting on the doorsteps of my parents' house and lingering for a place that was somewhere different. Ask my mother if you don't believe me. This feeling has been accompanying me my whole life. But I don't suffer. I would rather say that I've learned to come to terms with my sadness. But there have been times where I wasn't doing well. Luckily, I have overcome these dark years. The memory of those years inspires my songs now."

"In an interview, you once talked about death as "dark paradise". Are you serious about that?"

"Yes, death and paradise are are intertwined to me. After death, I expect something that is very serene and calm. You could already call that paradise. It is so loaded with meaning. I just love the word "paradise". I even tattooed it on my hand. "Heaven" is also a great word, or "exotic".

"So, tell me about you addiction."

"I was a big drinker at the time. I would drink every day. I would drink alone. I thought the whole concept was so fucking cool. A great deal of what I wrote onBorn To Dieis about these wilderness years. When I write about the thing that I've lost I feel like I'm writing about alcohol because that was the first love of my life. My parents were worried, I was worried. I knew it was a problem when I liked it more than I liked doing anything else. I was like, 'I'm fucked. I am totally fucked'. Like, at first its fine and you think you have a dark side – it's exciting – and then you realise the dark side wins every time if you decide to indulge in it. It's also a completely different way of living when you know that...a different species of person. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me."

"Lana are you in a relationship?"

"You know I don't talk about my relationships. I will say yes I am in a relationship and I am very happy."

"What is his name Lana?"

"I am happy. Very happy."

"Would you ever do any holiday stuff?"

"It would probably end up being really sad, so I don't know. I might not be the best holiday candidate!"

"What's the best fan gift you've received?"

"When I used to stay at the Chateau Marmont, there was this younger kid that came and made me this big book of his own version of my album covers, and he mixed it with tabloids from the 50's and 60's. So I'll have like these potential album covers he thought I should make were mixed with film noir, pop-art newspaper clippings that I thought were so good."

"Where do you store all of your fan gifts?"

"I have a box under my bed!"

"So Lana you are going to be performing one song for us today before you leave?"

"Yes I will be."

"If you may..."

I start to walk towards the little mini stage where my "band" is set up I hold onto the microphone and say "this is for you my boyfriend and my loving fans. I love you."

Blue jeans, White shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!

I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time

Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like: "no please, stay here,"
We don't need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was
Chasing paper
"Caught up in the game" that was the last I heard

You went out every night
And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side
Cause Ima ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well shit, at least you tried.
But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more-but that not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancin' all night
Then they took you away- stole you out of my life
You just need to remember...

The crowd cheered as I smiled and waved. I stepped off the mini stage and ran to the crown and gave them little hugs. I waved goodbye as I exited. That was probably the best interview Nagui was so kind. Hopefully I can come back soon very soon. It is not 3 and I have 5 more hours till my show and I tell the driver to go to the hotel so I can get a quick nap in before the show. As I get to the hotel I see Bradley standing in the middle of my hotel room holding white roses. My favourite. I run to him and jump on him and kiss him with everything I have. After we break apart he just smiles at me and we both say I love you and head to the bed. As soon as we both hit that bed we were out like lights.

AN: Okay that was chapter 3 im thinking next chapter I will just skip to the last show in Paris where Lana/Bella sees the Cullen's. Let me know what point of view I should do.
