Note: I'm back with the concert! *everyone cheers* Alright, calm down. All of these songs are from various bands and if you want to know what they are call either PM me or, preferably, review to ask. I'd like to thank the people who took the time to review and I'd like to thank everyone who has put this on their favorite stories list, since that means I'm doing a good job.
Chapter 6: The Cold Ones in Concert
"When we get to the ticket booth I'll tell the guy who we are and he'll give us our tickets and backstage passes. Then we will go into the stadium and rock out with our dear old friends and family. After that we will hang with our friends and family. Then by 1:30 A.M. we have to leave, unless we want Charlie to come and get us, embarrassing us forever."
When Alice made plans about shopping or a concert, they were followed. She never let us do something that wasn't planned unless she planned for something unplanned to happen. It makes sense...
"And what happens if they don't have our tickets?" Rose dared to ask.
"I'll kill Jazz and Edward." She answered simply. We knew she would try too. With a name like Cullen people don't mess with you.
As we walked from the parking lot to the ticket booth we heard two annoying, nasally voices.
"I am Alice Cullen; just give me the damn tickets!" Lauren yelled at the man behind the counter, emphasizing the word 'am'.
"I know who Alice Cullen is, and for the last time, you are not her." He looked from Lauren to Jessica. "And I know that you aren't Rosalie Hale. No one is as beautiful as her."
Lauren and Jessica were getting ready to argue again when we came up behind them to get our tickets and backstage passes.
"Alice, sweetie, there you are! I was starting to think you weren't going to show up!" He spoke directly to us. The boy/man, Mark, was always the one who held our tickets for any show. He knew who we are and he has a crush on Rosalie.
"Oh, Mark, you know I wouldn't miss a concert. Especially when my brother is in the band." Alice said, pushing Lauren and Jessica out of the way. She took the tickets and passes from him when Lauren decided to try to take them from her. Worst idea every.
Alice quickly moved out of the way and put the tickets into her purse. As Jessica tried to steal her purse Alice moved just in time for Jessica and Lauren to collide with each other.
"Maybe next time you should just give up before you make yourselves look uglier." Rosalie walked over them while they were recovering. I opted to walk around them.
"Bella, dear, Edward asked me to give you this before you went inside. He wants to see you wearing it." Mark took out a black box. I opened it and was surprised with what was inside.
A gold bracelet, with a small heart shaped stone - I wasn't sure which stone – attached to the chain.
"Wow, Bells, it's beautiful!" Alice looked at it and couldn't stop touching it.
"Jasper and Emmett have things for you girls but they want to see your reactions. Edward couldn't wait for her to have it. Go figure, he's never been patient." Mark said as others came up to get their tickets.
"Really? Wow..." I guess Alice couldn't believe that the guys had gotten us presents.
As we walked into the 'stadium', we noticed hundreds and hundreds of teenage girls and a few boys. Most of the boys were wearing uniforms, which meant they were only there to work.
Our 'seats' were some fold up chairs that would not be in use during the concert but were needed before and after the concert.
"Our seats seem to be right in front, in the middle..." Rose searched for our seats. "Ah, here they are!"
We sat down and began waiting. The concert would officially start in 10 minutes, and the stadium was already filling up. Unfortunately, there were a couple of bands on before them. The bands were OK, but we wanted to see our old friends.
As the places around us were being filled I heard the annoying, nasally voice again.
"Oh, great! Just fucking great! We are stuck behind these losers! Why can't they just go in a hole and die?" Lauren acted as if she was speaking to Jessica but she was really speaking to us.
"Because we don't want to live anywhere near you, slut." Rose replied, almost matter-of-factly.
"Why you-"
Lauren was cut off by a security guard coming up to us.
"Everything alright, ladies?" He was big and very muscular. The sluts must be shitting bricks.
"Everything is fine, Michael, we always speak to each other like that." Alice gave him her best smile and innocent face. Michael looked tough but he's a little puppy inside.
As he walked away Lauren and Jessica just whispered to each other.
"Is pixie Cullen fucking everyone who works here or something?" Jessica asked.
"Probably. Who does she think she is calling us slut?" Lauren answered back.
I decided not to answer their question; I didn't need to have a fight tonight when I was so close to being with Edward again.
The lights soon darkened and the first band started playing. They were alright. More emo/punk, not really metal or even rock. They played for a good 25-30 minutes and then went off.
After another 10 minutes the next band went on. They were a little more rock, maybe a little metal, which was easier for me to pay attention to their music. Their set lasted only 20 minutes, because the drummer apparently broke his wrist while playing. Guess he played too hard.
There was another 10 minute break, this time though, everyone was pumped and ready for The Cold Ones. I still laugh at how we came up with their name.
We were all hanging around at Alice's and Edward's house during winter break. We were all drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies, chocolate bars and other sweet things Esme had left for us before going to work.
Emmett had decided to stick his hands in the snow and put them on Rosalie's bare back. He said, "I am the Cold One, obey me or freeze!"
That's when both Alice and I jumped up and yelled out in synchronization.
"That's it! The Cold Ones!"
Everyone thought it was genius, nothing like that had ever been used. The name was loved by everyone and it help lead them to a recording deal.
A man went on the stage, an obvious plan to get the crowed even crazier than they already were.
"Are you ready for The Cold Ones?" He asked, earning a huge roar from the crowd. Ha asked again.
"I said, are you ready Forks, for The Cold Ones?"
The crowd roared once again. He asked us a few more times before he seemed satisfied with our response.
"Alright Forks, get ready for the biggest band in the world, The Cold Ones!" He went of the stage and the lights went out. It was total darkness.
The music to their first song started while we were still unable to see them. I knew which song was starting. Animal I Have Become. I didn't know what inspired this song or most of their songs since they left. As the guitar started playing a little rougher the lights flickered on and off. When Edward started singing they came on, illuminating the whole stage.
He looked so much better than he had on TV and I couldn't believe it was him.
I can't escape this hell.
So many times I've tried,
But I'm still caged inside.
Somebody get me through this nightmare.
I can't control myself.
So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe, it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal. (This animal, this animal.)
I can't escape myself.
So many times I've lied,
But there's still rage inside.
Somebody get me through this nightmare.
I can't control myself.
So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe, it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become.
Help me believe, it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal.
Somebody help me through this nightmare.
I can't control myself.
Somebody wake me from this nightmare.
I can't escape this hell.
This animal.
This animal.
This animal.
This animal.
This animal.
This animal.
This animal.
So what if you can see,
The darkest side of me?
No one would ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe, it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become.
Help me believe, it's not the real me.
Somebody help me tame this animal.
This animal I have become
That song ended and went straight into their next one, Mr. Jack, followed by The Nobodies, Aerials, and Sweat Dreams.
"How are you all doing here in Forks?" Edward asked the crowd. His voice was heavenly, melodic. He seemed to shimmer a little but I thought it was just my imagination.
"We are very happy to be back in our home town, to see some of our old friends and our family right here with us." He glanced down at us and smiled. I heard all the girls around the three of us gasp and I felt their eyes burning holes into my body. I ignored them.
"To celebrate having my family here," He motioned to someone and then to Alice, "I'd like to ask my little sister, Alice Cullen, to come join me for a moment of nostalgia."
The man came up to Alice and helped her get onto the stage.
Seems like the little pixie was keeping this a secret from Rose and I...We'll get her for it later.
"Alright, Edward, you got me up here. What do you want us to sing?"
He smirked. Almost all of the people in the stadium swooned.
"I'd like to sing What Have You Done."
Alice and Edward used to sing that one together, before I got over my shyness and started to sing.
The music started and Alice placed herself like she had done so many times before. She started.
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
than to harm the one I love
What have you done now!
I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?
What have you done now!
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now?)
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What you done?
What have you done now!
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now?)
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done now, what have you done?
I will not fall, won't let it go
We will be free when it ends
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now?)
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now?)
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you
They were amazing. The crowd roared to life once again after the song was over. Alice headed off the stage and came back to us.
"You know you are in trouble for keeping this from us, right?" Rose said as she came back between us. She just grinned and the concert continued. Edwards piano was now on the stage and Jasper had switched to an acoustic guitar.
"We are going to tune it down for just a little bit."
The tune for Never too late started. Everyone went quiet once again.
This world will never be what I expected,
And if I don't belong who would have guessed it?
I will not leave alone everything that I own,
To make you feel like it's not too late.
It's never too late.
Even if I say, "It'll be alright,"
Still I hear you say you want to end your life.
Now and again we try to just stay alive.
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late.
It's never too late.
No one will ever see this side reflected,
And if there's something wrong who would have guessed it?
And I have left alone everything that I own,
To make you feel like it's not too late.
It's never too late.
Even if I say, "It'll be alright,"
Still I hear you say you want to end your life.
Now and again we try to just stay alive.
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late.
It's never too late.
The world we knew won't come back.
The time we've lost can't get back.
The life we had won't be ours again.
This world will never be what I expected.
And if I don't belong...
Even if I say, "It'll be alright,"
Still I hear you say you want to end your life.
Now and again we try to just stay alive.
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late.
It's never too late.
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late.
It's never too late.
(It's never too late.)
It's not too late.
It's never too late.
He didn't give anyone anytime to react before going into the next one. Gone Forever started, and then they switched back to the more dark and heavy songs with The Beautiful People, Given up, and the Valentine's Day.
"Did you have fun tonight?" Edwards question was once again answered by a loud roar from the crowd. That smirk was on his face again. "This is our last song so let me hear you scream!"
As the crowd screamed, the music for their final song started. It was one of their newest ones. If I was Your Vampire, a very strange song.
6 a.m. Christmas morning.
No shadows,
No reflections here.
Lying cheek to cheek
In your cold embrace.
So soft and so tragic
As a slaughterhouse.
You press the knife
Against your heart.
And say,
"I love you, so much you must kill me now."
I love you
So much
You must kill me now.
If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.
Digging your smile apart
With my spade tongue.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
And I won't fill it alone.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.
If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.
Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart,
This is where it starts...
Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart,
This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.
6:19 and I know I'm ready
Drive me off the mountain.
You'll burn,
I'll eat your ashes.
The impossible wheels seducing
Our corpse.
If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.
This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.
This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.
Here comes the moon again
Here comes the moon again
The crowd roared for the final time tonight. The boys all came to the front of the stage and said good bye in his own way. Emmett, always copying the other bands as a child, threw his drum sticks out to the crowd.
As they exited, I felt slightly anxious; I would be seeing that beautiful creature face to face very soon.
Note: I decided to leave it here for now, since it's already long enough. I'll post the meeting in the next chapter, please review; tell me how annoyed you are because you wanted to see the boys' reaction, or tell me you can't wait. I don't care, just please review.
