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!

Yet again I do not own Twilight and its characters. They are the brain children of the great Stephenie Meyers.

Chapter 5: Half Alive

It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume Don't get up, I'll get through on my own I don't know if I'm home Or if I lost the way into your room I'm spiraling into my doom I'm feeling half alive but I know one day You and I will be free, To live and die by our own rules, Free.. Despite the fact that men are fools. I'm almost alive, and I need you to try And save me. It's okay that we're dying, But I need to survive tonight, tonight. Well excuse me while I get killed softly, Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay At least 'til yesterday, You know you got me off my highest guard, Believe me when I say it's hard. We'll get through this tonight And I know one day you and I will be free To live and die by our own rules, Free.. Despite the fact that men are fools.

And you touch my hand ever so slightly (Girl we're not ready for this yet) And the deadly look she cast upon me I won't regret, I won't regret I won't regret. I won't regret... And I was trying to disappear, But you got me wrapped around you I can hardly breathe without you I was trying to disappear But I got lost in your eyes now, You brought me down to size now. I'm almost alive And I need you to try and save me. It's okay that we're dying But I need to survive tonight, tonight Tonight... I'm almost alive, and I need you to try And save me. It's okay that we're dying, But I need to survive tonight, tonight. I need to survive tonight, tonight

After finally going to bed around 4:30 AM this morning, I heard a sharp ruckus coming from in the hallway. Damn! Its only 9:30 AM, I should be still sleeping. I left the safety of my room to inspect the noise. I knew it was either Alice or burglar rummaging through my not so valuable valuables. I pray its not burglar I don't know where I put that baseball bat. Maybe if I scream bloody murder he will go deaf and get the hell out of Dodge.

I slowly crept my way towards the sound. It was coming from Alice. I pray to god Alice isn't getting some pre- tour ass and I hope Jasper didn't think they were going to be getting on when all of us are around. I know its going to super weird to be with two couples. At least I am not the only odd man out. I knocked out the door and was glad when I didn't hear an sex noises I was kind of expecting here.

"Come in!" Alice shouted. I entered her room and it was a told disaster area. Her room was usually in impeccable shape. She was always on my case about how room looked like disaster area. She even cleaned my room one afternoon when I went back visit with Charlie.

"Hey Alice what's going on here?" I asked as Alice was throwing outfit after outfit out of her close. A stiletto heel just whizzed by head. Damn fairy! Your going to cause my death. Death by stiletto, what a horrible way to go it won't even be my fault.

"Bella, I don't know what to pack. I want to pack stuff that is me, but nothing over the top." She looked like she was going to cry. I could tell from the look in her eyes that she didn't want to dress to plain and have Jasper find someone better on tour and not too over the top to have it push him away. I could really tell that she truly loves him.

"Well, Ali I have never been on tour too. So I am going to back a lot of casual clothes and may some thing a little more dress just in case. Alice you need pack what you feel you need. If you have the slightest incline to bring something that you have a slim chance of wearing don't bring it." I told her.

She ran over to me and gave hug as she started putting clothes in her suit case. "Thank you Bells. You always seem to ground me. Oh by the way, I was wondering if I can borrow you spare sleeping bag? You know I don't want to drag my comfort out and get it too dirty." She asked.

"No problem Alice. You don't need to ask. You know that red sleeping bag is yours when ever you need it." I smiled at her as I retreated to my room to start backing since I know damn well I can never get back to bed now. I will have to take a nap later on after lunch.

After the restless night I had I decided to start backing for tour. I know what I need, clothes, my iPod, phone charger, iPod charger and my PSP to keep me entertained. Usually packing is fun because of the prospect of seeing the country, but this time I am nervous. This is the first time there will be any other girls touring with us except Rosalie. Bella is going to be with me. I know we are going to being hanging out a lot because the couples will want alone. I know Emmett had politely or not so politely told us to get lost because and I quote 'Little Emmy bear needs to get some nookie.'. I gladly left because I didn't want to see little Emmy bear make an appearance. That is one thing I can die with out seeing.

I was absent mindedly packing, my scenarios of what can happen on tour. I came to three main conclusions: 1. Bella and I will just become better friends because we both don't want to hang around two sets of goo goo eyed couples. 2. She and I will start a relationship. We will get to know each other and that will kindle the relationship. Or 3. She will push me away because she will discover that I like her and she doesn't like me that way. I hope… no I pray to powers that be it's my second thought not the later.

I grabbed my stuff and start walking the few blocks to our practice space where we decided to meet up with. As I approached the van I saw everyone standing outside. We quickly load up our stuff and got in the van. Emmett decided to take the first leg of driving so Rose rode shot gun. There is four rows in the back of the van. I knew Jasper and Alice were going to take his normal seat in the last row. And I took my normal seat in the second row and scoot over to the window to look out. But I wasn't expecting what happened next.

"Do you mind if I sit next to you?" The angelic voice asked. Did she know that she I can't tell her no. Did she know I am irrevocable, completely head over heels for her?

"No I don't mind have a seat." She sat down next to me. My nose was suddenly overwhelmed with her. The smell of freesias and strawberry went straight to me. I think I would of fell flat on my face and totally biffed it if I was standing. Thank god I was already sitting.

"So are you excited about tour and seeing the country? Have you ever been to the east coast?" I asked her. I smiled and turned slightly. I caught a glimpse of Jasper and Alice cuddling wrapped up in one the fleece throw blankets we leave in the van. They look so comfortable together. They are so cost you won't ever guess they just started dating less that 48 hours ago. I wish that was Bella and I right now. I hope it will be us eventually.

**********

We have been on the road for about 2 and half hours now. Jasper and Alice fell asleep in each others arms as soon we hit the highway. I wish I could fall asleep and stay asleep in a moving vehicle. I can only fall asleep when the van is for an hour at it. Rosalie has also fell asleep. The only people that are awake are Emmett (who is still awake because his driving and the gigantic sized coffee and six pack of red bull he has up in the front.), Bella who has her iPod on and typing away on her laptop and me. I am just staring out the window watching the scenery fly by. I was pulled out of my daze by the tired sigh of Bella.

I turned to look at her. Her iPod was still playing as I gently nudged her. She pulled one of the ear buds out. "What Edward?" She asked.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

"Writing and listening to music." She told me.

"What are you listening to?" I grabbed her iPod. I quickly scanned her artists list. Wow we have a lot of music in common. She has some diverse stuff anything from The Beatles to Linkin Park to Elton John to Secondhand Serenade and then coming full circle The Doors. I smiled at her. "You have great taste in music. If I didn't know any better I would think you were listening to my iPod." I smiled at her. And she just smiled back.

"Do you want to listen with me?" She put one of the ear buds in my hand.

I took it. "I don't want to intrude. I don't want to interrupt your writing." I didn't want her to stop writing on my account. I smiled at her.

She turned off her laptop and put it away in her laptop bag. "No problem at all Edward. Its time for a break any ways. We should try to get some sleep before we get to Spokane." She smiled at me as she moved closer to me. I grabbed the blanket from under the seat and wrapped it around us. She turned on her iPod and put her head on my shoulder. Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl' came on. If I didn't know any better this song was written about her. Soon I felt her falling asleep, I wrapped my arms around her and turn the volume down on the iPod. And then suddenly I was drifting off into dreamland.

A few hours later, I felt some staring at me. I opened my eyes to see Alice and Jasper silently 'awing' at us. I unconsciously pulled Bella in close to me with my head resting on the top of her head. I gently nudged her. "Bella, we are here at Jack's house." I soothingly whispered in her ear. Alice took the sleepy Bella by the hand into Jack's house.

I just smiled at Bella as they went in. "Who's the girl you have the hots for?" Jack asked as we carried in our.

"That's Bella. She is Jasper's new girlfriend's friend/ room mate. And Eddie looooves her. He wants to daaate her. He wants to maaaaarry her!" Em teased like toddler at heart he is. I quickly slapped him in the arm. We carried the ladies and our luggage down to Jack's basement. We made a second trip for our sleeping bags and pillows. Soon Jack was leaving us in his spacious basement. Emmett, Jasper, and I were inflating our Aero Beds. When we finished Rose snuggled in with Em and Alice did like wise with Jasper. I saw Bella trying to make herself comfortable on the rinky dink couch that her legs hung off of.

"I won't sleep there if I were you. I slept there once and I had to make several visit to the chiropractor and my back still isn't right." I warned. She huffed and started to unroll her sleep bag on the floor.

"No don't do that. You take my bed and I will sleep on the floor." I told her.

"Its okay, I won't want you to get a stiff back. I can sleep here." She said. Okay two can play at that game I thought.

"Well either you are going to sleep on the mattress or no one will." I grabbed my sleeping bag and start to spread it out beside her. She huffed again and got up and laid down.

"I will not have you laying on the floor while I am over here comfy. I get over here." She said as she motioned me over. I thought I was going to die from excitement. Down boy! I thought. I layed down on the side of the mattress that was unoccupied. I could see she was slowly drifting back to sleep. She started to scoot closer to me and the next think I knew she was snuggled up to me with her head laying on my chest. God! Bella is going to me the death of me or at least my self control!
