Note: Hello everyone! Since people have been adding this story to their favourites I guess that means that they like this story. I'd rather have reviews to tell me what I'm missing, or if you think it sucks. I don't care, just review. I hope everyone is excited about the concert scene! It'll be in the next chapter, because I found this one too long to add all those songs and the meeting. Anyways, I hope you like!
Disclaimer: I just realized that I haven't been putting these. I own nothing, only the plot of this story. I won't be putting them up before very chapter because I forget...
Chapter 5: Great Songs, Horrible Memories
"The songs are due today, so they better be ready!" Mrs. Leigh called out after the bell rang. We were in the auditorium for the presentations. Most of the students had papers in their hands and were memorising the last of their songs.
Alice, Rose and I were calm and confident. This song was the best we have ever written. All three of us would song while Alice played guitar while Rose and I played piano.
I wrote this song a long time ago, when someone just looked at me and asked me if I was sad. It was just after Edward had left and I was trying to hide my feelings. That didn't work out too well.
"First we will hear...Alice, my dear; you are first on the list!"
Well her name started with a C, I don't know why it's so surprising...
We got up and went to our instruments and tuned them. After a short nod we were ready. (Bella' part, Rose's part, Alice's part)
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All of this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
The auditorium was silent; a mixture of shock, jealousy and awe. After the girls but the instruments back there was a roar of applause and praise. The girls just looked at each other and laughed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's finally here!! The concert is tonight. Bella you look stunning and you're not even dressed up or anything!" Alice exclaimed. She just had way too much energy for 7:30 A.M. but that's how she usually was.
I, on the other hand, was still tired and crabby and may have scared Charlie with the corset I decided to wear so it would be easier to change later tonight.
It was tight and black with some dark green sheen to it. I wore baggy black jeans for now which would be switched to some tight ones Alice kept at her place after the shopping to make sure I didn't forget them. I also had my favourite boots on.
Rose was dressed in her normal attire of a light coloured tank top, pale blue with lacy purple trim, with a dark denim skirt that landed a couple inches above her knee, and her signature stiletto boots. I don't know how she can walk in those without falling.
Alice was bouncing up and down in a black tank top with a sheer blood red shirt over it and a pair of tight black jeans. She wore ballerina flats, which is unusual for her, and her hair was actually just laying on her head with no gel in it.
We weren't the only ones who were excited about going to the concert tonight. Every girl in town had been getting ready for the last month. Of course, we didn't really need that much time but like we said before, not many bands play in Forks
As we drove down to the diner with our respective parents for our monthly brunch none of us could keep their thoughts off of our old friends. We settled into a couple of tables in the middle, seeing as we were 8 people and the tables could only hold six each.
"Are you girls happy that the boys are back in town?" Mrs. Cullen asked.
"Yeah, we really are. It's been just too long since we saw them and we've all grown up so much..." I trailed off. We grew up, but we also changed. What if Edward doesn't like what I've done with my life and body?
My arms held faded scars from when I fell into a depression at 16, when I almost got raped at a party.
*Flashback*
"Hey there honey, what's your name?" A tall olive skinned man asked me. He looked so handsome and his voice was so sweet and calming.
"I'm Bella, and you are?" I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Bella, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. I am Laurent."
We spoke for several minutes. He asked me if I wanted a drink and when I said yes he left to get me something.
When he came back he handed me a glass of vodka and we went to sit down.
After a few more minutes I started to feel weird, not drunk form the alcohol, but dizzy and my vision was fuzzy. I felt him pick me up bridal style and go somewhere up some stairs. I felt something soft and fluffy under me and realized it was a bed.
"We are going to have fun, Bella." He whispered into my ear and then licked it. I didn't like that way it felt. I tried to push him away but I was too weak. I decided to try to speak.
"No, please get off." What was meant to be yelled came out in a whisper. He chuckled.
"Don't worry; it won't hurt...unless you want it rough." He started kissing me down my neck, to my collarbone. I tried one more time. "No, get off, don't."
He slapped me hard. I felt the stinging in my cheek.
"Listen, Bella, I am going to do this and you won't be able to stop me!" His voice was cold and full of lust, not like earlier.
I prepared myself to scream when I felt his lips crash on mine. I tried to protest, to push him off of me, but whatever he gave me made me weak and I could barely move my body.
Just as he was starting to pull my pants off the door swung open and Laurent was dragged off of me. I saw people in police uniforms and was very glad that they were here. Charlie came to me and picked me up. He brought me outside and told someone to call the hospital and have a rape kit ready. He also said to have Dr. Cullen there to take care of me; I didn't let any other doctors treat me.
*end flashback*
I was brought out of my memories by my food arriving. I guess my dad ordered my veggie burger for me.
The conversation was light, about school and our excitement to see the boys. Dr. Cullen seemed to have realized what I had been thinking of because he smiled at me warmly.
He had been the one to get me all the help I needed during my depression and he was the only one I told about what happened that night, other than the basic details the cops needed.
"Alright girls, I know you will be going backstage to see the boys after the concert but I want you home by 2:00 A.M. at the latest. Any later and I will send a squad to pick you up." Charlie wasn't bluffing. The last time we stayed out later than we were allowed the party was stopped and we were dragged into the cars by Charlie himself. The perks of being chief...
As we finished eating our parents started talking about how we used to be with the boys. How we used to sing together and that time when we made a fake wedding for Esme, Mrs. Cullen, so she could always have that to look at when she wanted to make it seem like Edward and I were together and she could have grand children. I miss those times.
"You ready to come over, Bells?" Alice asked me, pulling me out of my memories.
"Yeah, let's go!" I couldn't hide my excitement.
I hugged Charlie goodbye and ran to Alice's Porches. I got to the passenger's seat before Rosalie so she had to sit in back. Alice sped off to her house.
As soon as we got there we ran to her room and quickly changed, not caring that we were naked around each other. We had done worse before...
As soon as everyone was dressed we left the house on our way to the only place that could hold a concert in Forks.
Note: Here is chapter 5! The concert will be next and may also contain them meeting the boys backstage, depends on how long it is. R&R please!!! At least one review for this chapter.
