Last night was one of the best times I ever had. Bella professed her love in song with out singing with me. And in turn I sang another song to her. She knows I love her more than my own life. We came home from karaoke and went straight to bed. Bella was in my arms the entire time. I don't know how my arms felt before she came into my life. Now they feel so empty with out her in them. .
I whisper to her as we both began to fall asleep, "I love you Bella Swan.".
"MMM, I love you too." She murmured as the sleep over took her.
"I love you for always." I smiled as she snuggled closer to me. And we both fell asleep in each others arms. At that moment I know these arms were made for only one person, maybe some day possibly more. I saw a flashes of little girl with Bella's wavy hair, my hair color, both of our pale complexion and darker green, which I assume is a mixture of my green eyes and Bella's brown ones. She was so beautiful and I could wait to have her in my arms. Oh how I love her, even though she is just something that my mind created. This thought of the future is the one that I want and will make happen.
**********
I woke up about 11 am and realized there was something missing. More specifically some one was missing from my arms. Oh where is my Bella? I listen carefully for anything giving away where she is. The house was dead silent, no sounds of people chattering, water running in the shower, nothing but silence. Then I heard it. I heard the sound of metal clanking on the tile floor of what I assumed was kitchen.
I got up and slipped on my pair of jeans from last night and walked out of the room to go find the source the loud clank I heard. The house was too quite for everyone to be here, especially Emmett. He doesn't know the meaning of a whisper.
I snuck into the kitchen where I say Bella gracefully moving around the kitchen as she sang along with the iHome she was using in the kitchen.
She was singing along Jason Mraz.
Well you done done me and you bet I felt itI tried to be chill but you're so hot that I meltedI fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get backBefore the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestestAnd nothing's going to stop me but divine interventionI reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn someBut I won't hesitate no more, no moreIt cannot wait, I'm yoursWell open up your mind and see like meOpen up your plans and then you're freeLook into your heart and you'll find love love love loveListen to the music of the moment people, dance and singWe're just one big familyAnd it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
I snuck behind her and wrapped her up in my arms. I started to sing the rest of the song to her.
So I won't hesitate no more, no moreIt cannot wait, I'm sureThere's no need to complicate, our time is shortThis is our fate, I'm yoursD-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-doBut do you want to come onScooch on over closer dearAnd I will nibble your earI've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirrorAnd bending over backwards just to try to see it clearerBut my breath fogged up the glassAnd so I drew a new face and I laughedI guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reasonTo rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasonsIt's what we aim to do, our name is our virtueBut I won't hesitate no more, no moreIt cannot wait, I'm yours(I won't hesitate)Open up your mind and see like me(No more, no more)Open up your plans and man you're freeLook into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours(It cannot wait, I'm sure)So please don't, please don't, please don't(There's no need to complicate)There's no need to complicate(Our time is short)'Cause our time is short(This is our fate)This is, this is, this is our fateI'm yours
Just as the song finished, the door bell rang. "I got it baby." I told her. I peeled away from her as I walked to the door.
I opened the door. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked the fake girl at door.
"I was wondering if I could borrow some sugar?" I could see her looking pass me to see if anyone else was me.
"No! Walk your ass to the store and leave me alone." I spat at Jessica as I tried to slam the door on her. But she pushed the door and forced her way inside.
"I just need some sugar and I know you can give me some of your sweet, sweet sugar." She tired to give a sexy wink.
"No! Get out of her or I will forced to call the authorities." I yelled as she started to throw herself at me.
Next I knew Bella was prying the Jessica off me.
"Bitch, I thought I told you before back off my boy friend before I kick your ass." She said. Damn she is being forceful and getting me all hot and bothered.
"He is mine. He is only playing with you because he wants me to get mad and jealous. You know they say make up sex is the best sex!" She said. Bella grabbed a fistful of fake blonde hair.
" Now listen here whore. Edward would never degrade himself by ever doing anything with you." She said as Jessica took a swing at her, but missed. Bella retaliated but punching her square in the nose.
"Oh my god bitch you broke my nose! And I just got that…" She trailed off.
"You better get that nose looked at Jess. I hope you surgeon can fix that bad nose job of yours." I said as she turned and ran away holding her nose.
I shut the door and turned to Bella. "Baby are you okay?" I asked.
"I am alright." She tried to hide her right hand, the hand that broke Jessica's nose with.
I took her hand. "No your not okay. Your hand is swelling." I quickly felt up the bones in her hand to make sure it wasn't broken. I knew what to do because I have seen Carlisle do it before. I looked at her. "So what's the diagnosis doc? Do I have to visit one of the fine ER here in Chicago?" She asked with a little smirk.
I smiled at her and shook my head no. I went to the freezer and pulled out a bag of frozen peas for her hand. "Here put this on you hand." I said.
"Damn, how am I going to finish the brownies? I want to make some goodies for the road tonight." She pouted.
"Well I will finish them. Just tell me what to do." I smiled at her. She told me what do as she sat on the island in the middle of the kitchen.
Well wanting for the brownies finished. One of my favorite songs came on the iHome. We both started to sing it.
Just a small town girlLivin' in a lonely worldShe took the midnight trainGoin' anywhereJust a city boyBorn and raised in South DetroitHe took the midnight trainGoin' anywhereA singer in a smoky roomA smell of wine and cheap perfumeFor a smile they can share the nightIt goes on and on and on and onStrangers waitingUp and down the boulevardTheir shadows searchingIn the nightStreetlights, peopleLivin' just to find emotionHidin', somewhere in the nightWorkin' hard to get my fillEverybody wants a thrillPayin' anything to roll the diceJust one more timeSome will winSome will loseSome were born to sing the bluesOh, the movie never endsIt goes on and on and on and onStrangers waitingUp and down the boulevardTheir shadows searchingIn the nightStreetlights, peopleLivin' just to find emotionHidin', somewhere in the nightDon't stop believin'Hold on to the feelin'Streetlights, peopleDon't stop believin'Hold onStreetlights, people
With the end of the song, the oven timer went off. I grabbed the oven mitts and took the brownies on the cooling rack on the counter next to Bella. Then I heard the front door slam and the sound of everyone walking into the kitchen.
"Mmmm what smells good?" Jasper asked.
"Brownies" Bella said.
"Yeah we had an unexpected guest. Jessica." I said.
"Surprise, surprise the bitched showed up. What did she do?" Rose feigned shock.
I smiled at Rose and the rest of our friends. "She broke her nose, when she was try to attack me." I told them with my trade mark evil smirk.
Finally the words clicked and they all notice the frozen peas that are melting against Bella's hand. "Oh my god Bella! Are you okay? Do we need to get you to the ER to check out your hand?" Alice asked with true concern in her voice for her best friend.
"I am fine Ali, Doctor Edward here check it out and told me it isn't broken. It will just bruise. And that is the reason for the peas." She raised the package of peas with her good hand. Everyone just started laughing as we ate brownies. I had to fight Emmett to save some brownies for our trip tomorrow.

Finally the swelling went down in my hand. It only hurt a little bit. We just grabbed a quick dinner and now we are off to the venue. Tonight is the night for the Chicago show. I say some flyers tacked up on the telephone poles near the venue. 'Chicago's home town boy comes back.' and then it listed the band; New Dawn, The Story Changes, The Hanks, Ionia and Signal Home. (A/N: All the bands I listed are real. They are friends of mine and I will post a link to their myspaces on my profile.)
We parked in the back, the guys started to unload as we carried the merch to set up the table in the back. As the guys track in and out, us girls decided to check out the neighborhood. We went around to the front venue where we were met with New Dawn fans. Tons of young girls with pictures of our guy on the front like the girl back at an 'NSYNC concert in the early '90s. Then I small a group of girls that were more our age. Then I heard the shrill voice I didn't want to hear!
"Yeah that girl that claims to be Edward's girlfriend got mad at me when he caught us making out on the couch." Jessica said with a fake sob. The other girls around her started to talk telling her 'they were sorry to hear about me punching her for something that was meant to be.'
I just stepped into the circle with Alice and Rosalie right behind me. I know they got my back. "So who broke you nose again?" Alice asked. Jessica's back was to us.
"That bitch that has her hands all over my Eddie." She said as she turned around. And was face to face with me, there had to be less then 5 inches between us.
"What did you say?" I spat at her. She start to quiver in my present.
"Nothing. I said nothing at all." She lied.
"You need to tell the true. I broke that horrible nose job of yours as you threw yourself at my boyfriend! Oh wait, didn't tell you I never want to see your face around me or my boyfriend ever again and her you are." I yelled at her. I motioned to her like I was going to punch her again and she flinched. She was scared and fled quick with her small band of blonde bimbos.
We turned to walk back to the back. "Oh my god you are Bella, the girl who sang with Edward on youtube?" A young girl probably barely old enough to be here by herself.
"Yup that's me. Hey are you here by yourself?" I asked.
"Yeah, do you parents know where you are? I don't mean it as an insult or anything. You just look really young?" She babbled a little.
"Well I don't take any offense. I am 12 and yes my parents know where I am. My brother is inside. He is the band Ionia. Blaise (Its pronounced Blaze.) is my big brother. I am Hanna by the way." She said.
We hung out with Hanna before the show, went to Starbucks for over priced coffee (in Hanna's case over priced hot chocolate) and bake goods. We chatted and got to know each other until it was about a half an hour before the show started. We walked through the back door and headed back to the merch table where the guys were sitting.
"Hey love where were you?" Edward asked as he kissed me and pulled me down to sit in his lap.
"Outside, we had another confrontation with Jessica. She was out there telling lies and I scared her away." I said with pride in my voice.
"Our little, sweet, innocent Bells scared some one? Did you hit her again? Did you break her jaw?" Emmett said in his boisterous voice.
"No Emmy Bear she didn't nothing of the liking. She just told her off and motioned like she was going to hit her." Rose said.
"Yeah! She put that trash talking girl in her place." Hanna said.
"Why hello there sweetie, who are you?" Jasper asked as he bend down and kiss her hand.
"HANNA! HANNA! Where are you?" Blaise screams.
"I AM OVER HERE!" She yells back. "I am Hanna by the way and that's my big brother." She said as she beamed a smile at Jasper.
Blaise comes up to us. "There you are. I thought I lost you. Mom would kill me if I lost you." He said. "Hey you guys. Thanks for keeping her entertained." He said. The guy and Blaise and the guys started talking music and us girls started chit chatting.
Soon the show started. Bands played. We sold merch. Talked with fans of the guys and now the guys were up on stage playing. I decided I would be joining guys on the stage to reprise Edward and mine' cover of 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart".
"This song goes out to Hanna and the many of people who on youtube left great comments." I said as we started our song.
A/N: Thank you everyone for being not stoning me with virtual stones. I am really sorry it has taken forever.
