A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews and all the alerts and what not. I am just flabbergasted that people actually like my stories. I try to reply to everyone who reviews. If I didn't respond to you I am very sorry! Here is my next chapter. ENJOY! I am sorry its late. I was at Midnight Release of Twilight on DVD on Friday/ Saturday morning.
Yet again I do not own Twilight and its characters. They are the brain children of the great Stephenie Meyers.

What did Jasper say? He wants us to come on tour with them. Was he just asking both of us he knew Alice wouldn't like leaving alone for most of the summer? Is Edward mad that I am going to be hanging around all summer? I looked deep into Edward's eyes briefly. Whoa! What is that look? It looks familiar… is that friendship? I don't know, it looks like something more I don't think I have ever seen.
I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard Alice's shrill shriek of joy. "YES! YES! We will go!" She said sending a 'don't you dare rain on parade' look. She knows I would never do that. I was never one to be the party pooper. It isn't like I had another places this summer besides getting a part time job and writing more. I guess I will just have to bring my laptop with me to write and selling merch is sort of a job. And plus I will get to see the US for basically free. Also I will be with Edward all summer. Oh that means I will more time to get to know him and maybe we can become more.
"So when do we leave?" I said hoping that I had some time to prepare myself for this trip. I glanced at Edward.
"Well since you said yes both of you can't go back on your word." That sly grin appeared on his face again. "We are leaving tomorrow. First stop is Spokane with a friend of ours Jack. It a little over 4hours away. We are leaving at 7 PM tomorrow so we can get there around 11 PM and have Saturday morning and afternoon to do stuff. And then play that show then we are off to Montana I think." Edward said. As soon as he finished speaking I noticed we were in the back alley of the club with Jasper and Alice no where to be found.
"Hey where did Ali and Jasper go?" I asked him.
He started to chuckle. "What!?" I asked.
" Where you totally out of it Alice told you her and Jasper were riding together to Tony's Place and you are going to ride with me to drop off the van and catch a ride with me to Gene's. Did you hear anything I said to you?" He asked.
"Yeah you said We are meeting at 7 PM to head out to Spokane to meet up with your friend Jack. We are leaving late so we have most of the day Saturday to spend doing stuff before the show and then we are heading out to Montana you think." I smiled a knowing.
"I guess you were listening to one of your friends." He said so low that I don't think he meant for me to hear it. Only if he knew I hung onto his every last word. I smiled as I climbed into the van. He turned on the radio. The Muse softly played in the back ground.
"Wow I love these guys." I turned to look at him.
"Me too, their one of my favorite bands." He smiled. We slipped into a comfortable silence as we made our way back to their practice space that is only a block from his apartment. When we got the practice space we parked the van. He grabbed my hand and started pulling me down the side walk. We walked a few blocks to his apartment.

Damn I totally got caught in her and forgot to change after show. I can't go out with her and smell like a sweaty armpit. "Do you mind if I go up and change?" I asked her.
"Sure." She smiled. I pulled her into my building. She was starring at all the golden in the grand lobby. I pulled her into the elevator. We rode up in silence then I heard her humming along with the elevator music.
"Are you humming along with the elevator music?" I questioned her giving her a quizzical look.
"Yeah. What's it to you?" She said trying to sound touch. Soon the elevator dinged and the doors opened.
"Nothing, I thing you have a lovely voice from what I hear. I would love to hear you sing for real. I bet you have a great voice. Maybe if I play my cards right, I can get you to join me on the stage for a duet." I smiled as I dug my apartment keys out of my pocket.
"I don't see that happening. Number one I don't have a good voice and number two I get nervous in front of crowds. So I would entire have the audience running because of my voice or I will end up whipping out the first three rows when I fall off the stage." She said as we walked into my apartment.
I led her in, "Well I guess I will have to hear you sing to see if you as bad as you think you are. And when you get on stage with me, I will have to hold onto you so you don't fall of the stage." I flashed a grin at her as I saw a faint blush spread across her face.
We were standing in the living room. "You can have a seat while I go get change or if you want you can look around." I said.
"I think I will look around. This is beautiful apartment you have here." She followed down the hall way as I went into my bedroom. I don't have a problem with her snooping around. I have nothing to hide. I am pretty much an open book.

Damn he has a great apartment. I know his real and adopted parents both had money. But damn this puts my apartment to shame. I didn't think my place was too bad, but just being her makes it look like a hobo's cardboard house. I followed down the hall way past what I assumed was his room. I saw the bathroom on the left. Its cute with pastel blue color and an old antique claw foot tub and a small circular shower stall on the other side of the room. Then I went into the last door at the end of hall. This room was bright, the walls were white, but the walls were lined with black bookshelves with thousands upon thousands of cds and a little small collection of books. Then right in the center of the room was a baby grand piano and a black Fender Stratocaster with a small Orange brand amp.
I made my way over to the piano. I gently pressed the keys, I played a little when I was young. I quit because I suck at it. I could barely play "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". I started playing the few scales that I remembered and then I started to play song that I made up when I was teenage when I found my keyboard in the attic. It was a sweet little simple song. Nothing complicated at all. I know I am not Beethoven or Mozart.
I closed my eyes while I played. As I was finishing I felt a presence in the room. I pray its just Edward, not some bulgur that is hear to rape and kill me. As I played the final notes I felt the person in the room sit down on the bench next to me. I opened my eyes and turned see Edward starring straight into my eyes. "I am sorry, I could resist. Its so beautiful." I smiled at him.
"No its quite alright. I didn't know you could play. That's one thing you left out the other night at coffee." His face was only a few inches away from.
"I won't say I am a piano player. I took some lessons when I was younger, but quit because I wasn't good at all. I think when I practiced I had all the neighborhood dogs howling at my way off key playing." I smiled.
"If your not a pianist, then what was that. That was a beautiful song." He flashed that dazzling smile at me.
"Well it was just this little tune I made up a few years ago when I was helping my clean out the attic I found my old keyboard. And this cute little song came to me. I play around on the keyboard when I get bored." I smiled to try and counter that dazzling white smile.
EPOV
She isn't a pianist my butt! That is a great composition. I will have to get her to play. "So how does my baby number one play? The guitar beside you is my baby as well. If anything happened to it or this piano I think I would cry. Just don't tell the guys. I would be the butt of their jokes for years to come." I started to play the piano from my end of the bench.
"Well this is the most magnificent instrument I played on. I have only played on my rinky dink keyboard and a old up right piano that was in the chorus room in high school." She said.
"Are you ready to go? I think we took long enough. If we don't get going I think they might send out a search party for us." I chuckled a little. She smiled as I stood and took her by the hand. She grabbed her purse off the couch and we made our way out of the apartment and down to my car. On our drive over to Tony's I told her about the memorable times I had on tour last summer.
Finally we were entering the almost empty pizzeria, the only table occupied was the table our 4 friends were at. "Thanks for finally showing up! I thought I would have to file a missing persons report." Alice grinned at us with a 'what took you so long' look.
"Hey Eddie, my man I was starving so I already ordered some pie." Emmett said.
"You always hungry Em!" I playful punch in the shoulder. We took our seats as Tony the owner came over to deliver our pies. He started chatting with us. We always came to his pizzeria after shows.
While eating we were chatting about this summers tour. Alice was really concerned about what she should bring.
"Well, sweet you need to bring a blank or sleep bag, clothes and a pillow. And when I say clothes I mean you can only bring a large suitcase or large duffel bag and a few smaller bags. We don't have to much room now that our numbers went from 4 to 6." He smiled. Alice looks like a girl that would bring 50 outfits for a week long trip.
"Yeah, we stop at laundromat and wash clothes at people's house we stay out." Rose said.
"Okay. Where are we staying on the road? Are we going to be sleeping in the van?" I asked.
"Well we try to stay with friends, show promoters or locals that play the show. But sometimes when we are pass through some podunk town we find a cheap hotel to stay at and if its nice enough we will pitch tents in a camp grounds." I said the lovely lady next to me.
We continue to chat, laugh and eat. Finally we got up to leave. I paid our bill and I was walking Bella and Jasper was walking Alice to her car. They drove off. I can't wait until tonight when I see her again and I know she will be with me for at least 2 months.
BPOV
Oh this summer is going to be fun. I can't believe that Alice isn't going to bring everything she owns. But over this summer will be great, especially since I get to spend most of my summer with that devilishly handsome Edward. I falling head over heels for him. I pray that we get closer and I know this summer will make or break me.
