love lost, and a sister found Chapter 15: recording, a twilight fanfic

Recording

It was Monday and we were all heading to school. Everyone had found out that I had one the competition, so right now, I was really starting to worry how crazy they would be. I started fiddling with the hem of my black halter dress. It only came to mid thigh, so I managed to persuade Clara to let me wear jeans under it. Thank god I was only wearing wedges today.

Ryan seemed to sense my discomfort, because he took my hand and smiled reassuringly. Brittany and Rose weren't going to be here today. Rose was to big, and Brittany was also pregnant, and didn't want to leave half way through the week, for she was only 4 days behind Rose, so they were both hanging out at our place.

The Ferrari pulled up in the parking lot. Everyone turned to look as I stepped out of the car, flipping my blond hair over my shoulder. Ryan held out his hand to me, and we started to walk forward.

We had barely gone three steps with Victoria next to me and the family behind us, before I was completely swamped with people.

"I can't believe you won!"

"Will you sing for us?"

"When are you recording?"

"How does it feel to win?"

They were only some of the questions that where asked. Finally, the principle came out.

"All right everyone. Let's proceed to the auditorium, where I'm sure miss Hunter will sing with us," he said.

Everyone started walking towards the school, my family and I behind them.

I waved at my family and stepped up onto the stage, the whole school cheering.

"Hey everyone! How's it going?"

"Good!" they all yelled in union.

"Ok. I'm going to sing the first song I ever wrote. This is before I had so many wonderful people as my family. Hope you enjoy."

Baby, baby, when we first met 
I never felt something so strong 
You were like my lover and my best friend 
All wrapped into one, with a ribbon on it  

And all of a sudden, when you left 
I didn't know how to follow, it's like a shot 
That spun me around and now my heart left 
I feel so empty and hollow  

And I'll never give myself to another, the way I gave it to you 
Don't even recognize the ways you hit me, do you? 
It's ganna take a miracle to bring me back 
And you're the one to blame  

And now I feel like, oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking 
I don't wanna smoke all these cigarettes no more 
I guess this is what I get for wishful thinking 
I should've never let you into my door  

Next time you wanna go on and leave 
I should just let you go on and do it 
It's not amusing like I believe  
It's like I checked into rehab 

Baby, you're my disease 
It's like I checked into rehab 
Baby, you're my disease  
I gotta check into rehab 
'Cause baby, you're my disease 
I gotta check into rehab 
'Cause baby, you're my disease  

Damn, ain't it crazy when your love slams? 
You'll do anything for the one you love 
'Cause anytime that you needed me, I'd be there 
It's like you were my favorite drug  

The only problem is that you was using me 
In a different way that I was using you 
But now that I know, it's not meant to be 
You gotta go, I gotta win myself over you  

And I'll never give myself to another, the way I gave it to you 
Don't even recognize the ways you hit me, do you? 
It's ganna take a miracle to bring me back 
And you're the one to blame  

'Cause now I feel like, oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking 
I don't wanna smoke all these cigarettes no more 
I guess this is what I get for wishful thinking 
I should've never let you into my door  

Next time you wanna go on and leave 
I should just let you go on and do it 
It's not amusing like I believe  
It's like I checked into rehab 

Now ladies, gimme that 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
Oh, now gimme that 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh  

Now ladies, gimme that 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
Oh, now gimme that 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh  
Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking 

I don't wanna smoke all these cigarettes no more 
I guess this is what I get for wishful thinking 
I should've never let you into my door  
Next time you wanna go on and leave 
I should just let you go on and do it 
It's not amusing like I believe  

It's like I checked into rehab 
Baby, you're my disease 
It's like I checked into rehab 
Baby, you're my disease  

I gotta check into rehab 
'Cause baby, you're my disease 
I gotta check into rehab 
'Cause baby, you're my disease

"Thanks everyone," I said, walking off the stage.

"When are you recording the CD?" Mr. White asked as I walked over to my family.

I looked down at my watch, "in 40 minutes. We just came here today to get our school work."

"You may collect your school work than leave," Mr. White said.

I nodded and my family and I went to collect our schoolwork.

When we got to the recording studio, which was huge. Brittany, Clara and Damien were already waiting for us.

We all got out of the cars and headed inside.

Mr. Rileys was standing in the lobby waiting for us.

"Hello again Miss. Hunter. Would you and your family please follow me," he said, leading us down one of the many hallways.

He opened the door at the end of the hallway, we found ourself standing in a huge recording studio, with all the technical equipment you could ever ask for. Behind the glass window, there was a room with all the mics set up and ready to go.

There was a man sitting in front of the control panels, who turned around to face us.

"Hi, I'm Nick. I'll be in here helping you guys," he said, holding out his hand.

"Nice to meet you," I said.

I turned around to look at my family.

"Do you guys want to record the group songs first?" I asked.

"Sure," Victoria said. We had two whole family songs, Jai Ho and Wait a minute.

"Jai Ho first?" Clara asked. She was currently in her 16 year old form, as was Damien.

"Yep," I said. "How about we all record together? The boys only know when to sing if we're singing with them."

"Sounds good," Nick said putting on the headphones.

We all walked into the recording studio to stand behind the mics. There were two people behind each mic. Victoria and I, Clara and Brittany and Irina and Sophie. The boys had also doubled up.

Nick put his thumb up, saying we could start singing.

"1, 2, 3, 4."

"How was that?" I asked when we finished the song.

Nick turned the speaker on so he could talk. "Normally, people would have to sing it again. But considering I could not find a single tiny fault in that, it was absolutely PERFECT!"

"Thanks." I said, turning to my family, "Wait a minute?" I asked.

They all nodded.

I looked back at Nick and he gave us the thumbs up.

"1, 2, 3, 4."

Everybody listen all over the world
I got a story 'bout my favorite girl (Wait a minute)

Oh, my baby sexy for sure

She was 'bout to drive me insane

Gave him my number, he was trying so hard (Wait a minute)
Bought me some things I didn't want, didn't need

Dropped down his jeans like I'm supposed to drop to my knees (Wait a minute)
He been blowing up my phone like he know me
Been leaving messages "You know what you owe me" (Wait a minute)

Shut up...shut up

Girl, you already know
But, I'm feeling like you don't want me

Chasing dreams not diamond rings

You can't buy this
So you can keep that
Wait a minute...
Uh yeah, you can give me that back

"Amazing everyone. You got every note perfect." Nick said while everyone hi-fived. "Why don't you guys come in here so Bella can record her individual songs?"

Everyone nodded and walked out the door.

Nick nodded at me, and with that I began to sing. I sang Perfectly Good heart, Who Knew, Take a Bow, Halo, Us Against the World and three other songs I had written. One was about Edward, which was called White Horse. The other two were about Ryan, which were called Love Story and One in a Million.

Once I had sung all of them I asked Ryan to come in here.

"Okay guys, we're ganna sing a duet that we wrote together," I said.

They all nodded and Ryan stood behind the mic next to me.

"1, 2, 3, 4."

[Bella]

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

[Ryan]
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

[Bella]

But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

[Both]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, no air
No air, no air
No air, no air
No air, no air

[Ryan]
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

[Bella]
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

[Both]
But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
It's no air, no air

No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air

"That was amazing you guys," Clara said.

"All of you will be meeting Mr. Rileys around the other side of the building tomorrow at 5am. You will be filming the music video for Jai Ho and Wait a Minute," Nick said.

"Thank you," I said as we walked out the door.

Tomorrow would be one heck of a day.
