I try to reply to everyone who reviews, so if I did not respond I am very sorry. Please don 't chuck stones at me or chase me with torches and pitch forks! 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. I just own the story idea/ plot and the original characters.

Last night was all a blur. I remember driving over the practice space to meet up with the guys, getting in the van, writing, chatting with Edward about music and listening to my iPod. Then I guess I must of fell asleep because I knew I was being woken up by Alice. I was snuggled up in Edward strong, warm and inviting chest. I really don't know why I was cuddled up with him. But what sane girl won't? Then I was being pulled away by Alice and taken into a house.
There was a very uncomfortable couch. Damn this is going to suck. But the couch must me more comfortable that the hard floor I thought. Then Edward and I had an argument about me sleeping on the couch. He was insisting I take his Aero Bed. I tried so hard to put up a good fight, but I was too tired to put a half way descent one. I ended up on the mattress next to Edward. Again I was drawn towards his warm chest.
**********
I awoke to a pair scintillating emerald pools that could pull you and never let go. They just sucked me in. I started to lean up into as he simultaneously was leading down to me. Next I knew his lips and mine were crashing into each other. Oh my god! What is happening? I must still be sleeping. This could be only happening in my wildest fantasies.
Then I heard someone loudly clearing their throat. Edward pulled away from me. Damn you Emmett! Why do have excellent timing? I haven't known Emmett too long, but I am finding out that he has a way to interrupt things at an opportune timing to end 'Edward and me' time.
We quickly sat up and looked at each other. "Well that was really nice." Edward smiled at me.
"Yes it was not nice, I was far beyond nice. Incredible!" I smiled and kissed him on the cheek as Alice soon came and pulled me away.
As soon we were in the safety of the bathroom, I was in the center of the barrage of questions she threw at me.
"What was that? Did you guys get together and not tell? I thought I was your best friend. How could you not tell me? But you guys are really cute together. I knew my vision would come true." She rambled off.
"Yes, Edward and I kiss. No we are not official dating, even though I hope we do soon. Yes you are my best friend. This wasn't premeditated, I didn't know we would ki… Wait!? You saw this happening?" I asked.
"Yeah, I saw it. That night we first met the guys. I saw a blonde guy taking us toward a bronze haired, green eye man. That saw you drooling over. Then I saw you guy together." She smiled.
"But? Why didn't you…" She quickly cut me off.
"Get in the shower. I laid out for you some jeans and a shirt. Got to casual. The guys have a fun day for us today." Alice said. I grinned like a cheshire cat because Alice never dresses me casual. I quickly jumped in the shower. I washed, rinsed and dried like any normal person would do in and after a shower. I brushed my teeth. Don't want to have morning breath when I see Edward again. I quickly got changed into the comfy jeans and t shirt Alice picked out.
I opened the door and rushed out with out looking. I need to get out of her quickly. I don't want to be known as the bathroom hog the entire tour. I ran smack dab into a brood chest. Ashamed I looked up and it was none other than Edward. "Sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I smiled at him with my face blushing my familiar crimson.
"Its okay. Now I can do this." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. Oh my god this guy will be the death of me or at least be the cause of my now permanent blush. After what seemed like an eternity, he let go of me and made his way into the bath room.
**********
Soon after I finished eating the breakfast Jack made for us I hear a knock on the door. He answered it and I heard a woman's voice. And then a beautiful strawberry blonde and Jack came walking into the kitchen. The guys stood up and greeted the lady. "Hey Tanya! So your Jack's girlfriend he has been gushing about when I called last week to confirm that we were staying here." Jasper said.
"Yup that's me. Jackie's my main squeeze. Well now that we have established that we are together, who are these two lovely ladies your roped into coming on tour with you guys?" She motioned towards Alice and me. I tried not to look intimidated by her. But that's what she was intimating with her beautiful looks and grace.
"Hi, I am Alice. Ooo I really like your Prada shoes." She bounced excitedly.
So all of us were putting our shoes on. Tanya changed into some Converse Chucks that were white with pink hearts. (A/N: Picture of Tanya's chucks in my profile.)
"Nice shoes." I smiled at her trying to make conversation.
"Why thank you. They are so comfortable. I would take them over stilettos any day." She giggled a little.
"I agree. I dislike heels with a passion. Alice always deems it necessary to make me wear them. Even though I am one of the most klutzy person you will meet." I giggled a little.
She smiled at me. "So how do you know Edward and the guys?" She asked.
"Well Alice and I went to see Ten Count Fall in Seattle and I. Jasper bumped into us and took to Alice. He brought us to meet everyone else. Edward and I started talking. We ended up going out Tom's for coffee. He is a really great guy." I blushed.
"Yeah Edward is a great guy. When we dated…" She started to say but I interrupted her.
"You dated him?" I asked.
"Yeah we dated for a few months but we realized it would work living across the state and we were better off as friends. I think he knew I was in love with my Jackie." She smiled at me.
"You really like him? If I can be so bold, you love him?" I blushed as red as a stop sign at her comment. All I could do is smile and nod.
"Have you done anything about it?" She asked. Before I got to answer Edward came in the room and asked if we ready to leave.

After a short drive in Jack's huge ass SUV we were at Fastkart Spokane, a go kart track. (A/N: Link to Fastkart is on my profile.) Oh now I know why I got to dress casually. As soon as we got out of the SUV. Emmett started to give everyone a high five.
"Yes! Jack, you know I love this place. It wouldn't be a trip to Spokane with out a little racing." He was bouncing around like a little kid on Christmas that got that Red Rider BB gun he always wanted.
"But, Emmie bear, you know I am going to beat you…again. I always beat." Rose said with a smug smile on her face.
"You know I would let you win every day of my life it means your mine and mine only." He said with a smug smile on his face as he took her hand started to get ready for the race. I just stood there too scared to move.
"What's the matter love?" Edward came up to me. I then noticed it was just him and me standing there. Whoa! Did he just call me love?
"I am scared Edward. I am such a klutz. What if I run into a wall? What if I hit some one else? What if some one else or I get hurt?" I said with terror in my voice.
"You won't hurt yourself or anyone else. Jim here will go over the safety procedures and you will be wearing a helmet." He reassured me. He kissed me gently on the lips. Did that actually was that a figment of my imagination? That was a pretty damn good figment if it was that.
The next thing I knew I had a helmet on and was inside of the go kart. I was kind of excited. Most of my terror was gone. His kiss took away my fear. On your mark… Get set… Go! The race was under way.
The next thing I knew I was accelerating and trying to steer clear of the walls and other people on the track. That's all I need to do is crash into someone else or a wall and go to the emergency room. I really don't want this trip to end.
After I got the hang of driving this go kart, I started to go faster. Soon I was passing Alice, then Jasper, then Tanya and Jack. I was gaining on Edward and Emmett who were in first and second place respectfully. They didn't notice me coming up behind them and on the last lap I passed both of them for the victory.
"WHAT THE CRAP?!?!?" Emmett said as he got out of his kart.
"Sorry, Emmett. Who knew I kick ass at driving fast?" I had a smug smile on my face. Next I knew I heard the musical laugh and soon everyone else was joining in. "Stop being a sore loser." Tanya said.
"Rematch like now!" Emmett shouted.
"I don't think I will be joining you. I am just going chalk this one up to beginners luck and not risk hurting myself or anyone else. I think I am just going to grab my laptop and write in the SUV." I smiled and Jack handed me his keys.
I made it back to the car and opened my laptop. I put in my iPod ear buds and put it on shuffle. I start writing a lot. The story was just flowing out of me. If I didn't know any better I would say it was in time to the music. I start singing along to the music as I clicked away at the keys. Wow! What brought this on? I am in the zone! Did Edward do this to you? Oh I think so. The next thing I some one was sitting next to me.
"How long have you been sitting there?" I asked.
"Long enough to hear you sing some more and say my name under your breath." He smiled at me. I blushed furiously.
"Its fine. You have a great voice. You know I am going to push doing a duet more now. And its also okay I heard you say my name. At least I know you thinking about me. You might not know this but you consume all of my thoughts. That kiss more was the best kiss I have ever had. The electricity that I felt was like…. Whoa." He smiled.
"I felt it too. And I only hope I feel it again soon." And with at being said we start to make out. Soon breathing became hard and it was definitely necessary to breath.
He pulled back a little. I was totally lost in those green orbs which are perfect, all I could do is grin. I probably look like a complete idiot or one of those goofy love struck teenagers.

Kissing her just feels… feels sooo indescribable. It just feels right. It is like we were made for each other. Its like we are destined to be with her and who want to screw around with fate. I really don't want to feel the wrath of karma! I grinned like a goofy love struck fool as we pulled apart breath.
I just looked into her eyes. "Wow." She said as she stared back at me.
"You can say that again." I smiled. I pulled her close to my chest. She said and closed her eyes as she rested her eyes. I turned to Bella who was snuggled into my chest.
"Bella, love I have a question to ask you." She seemed a bit confused. I kissed her on the top of her head. She turned to face be in my arms.
She grimaced a little. I could see that she was worried about what I wanted to ask her. "Bella will you… be my girlfriend?" I asked.
She just got a huge grin on her face. She looked Tom when he finally caught Jerry. "Yes." She whispered. I kissed her and pulled he closer to me. Soon I felt my eyelids start to droop.
Next knew I was woken up to the sound of the car door clicking open. Then I heard Emmett's booming laughter. "Bells and Eddie sleeping in a SUV. S-L-E-E-P-I-N-G. First comes sleep. Second comes se.." Emmett was singing. I screamed before he could finish.
"Shut the hell up Em!" I yelled. I punched him rather hard in the arm. Soon we were driving along. I finally found a way to shut him up!
**********
Finally we were sitting backstage at the show. The other bands were mindlessly talking about tour and their experiences so far. Finally the stage manager or the person who was suppose to be the stage manger said "New Dawn is up in 10 minutes.".
We got up and set up. Next think I knew I was singing.
"Hey everyone. I hope you are enjoying yourself tonight. I am going to take you back old school. This song is my favorite song and it reminds me of my girlfriend." I smiled up at her as she was in the back.
"Here is some Van Morrison for you." The band and I started to play the song.
Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mine With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
As I finished singing I look back up were I knew she was. And to my surprise she wasn't there anymore. I was confused. Was my song so bad? Did I scare her off?
"Well I hope everyone like that song. I am going to take you back one more time. This duet, but I don't see my partner out there." Then Jasper nudged me. I saw her beautiful face in the wings of the stage. I walked over and pulled on the stage. She blushed that beautiful blush again.
"Will you sing with me, love?" I asked. She nodded yes.
"Any thing for you." She whispered.
The song started to play and we started to sing.
Don't go breaking my heartI couldn't if I triedHoney if I get restlessBaby you're not that kindDon't go breaking my heartYou take the weight off meHoney when you knock on my doorI gave you my keyNobody knows itWhen I was downI was your clownNobody knows itRight from the startI gave you my heartI gave you my heartSo don't go breaking my heartI wont go breaking your heartDon't go breaking my heartAnd nobody told usCause nobody showed usAnd now its up to us babeI think we can make itSo don't misunderstand meYou put the light in my lifeYou put the sparks to the flameI've got your heart in my sights
