"Mom?"
"Hi Honey? What's up?"
"Er...nothing, can I ask for a favour?"
"Um..sure. What is it?"
"Can you make me a dress, in 2 weeks?"
"Well, sweet you should have given me more notice, but I think I can sort something out, family discount, of course, 100% off"
"Really? Thanks Mom."
"Can I ask the occasion?"
"Premiere."
"W-what? Honey you aren't going to a premiere..."
"Oh yeah but I am. Face Punch. I'm on the soundtrack, so technically I'm invited."
"Really? But I never knew you could sing..." I sighed. Of course you didn't Because you're never here.
"Hun, I have a customer, I'll see you soon. Come up today so I can do measurements. Bye and I love you." She hung up. I sighed and logged on to the chat room, signing on with my favourites.
Bells19 has signed on.
BlackBoy has signed on.
Bells19: Hiyah
BlackBoy: Hey Bells! How's it going? I have big news!

Bells19: Wow. Just wow.
BlackBoy: Okay...never mind about me, hows it going over the seas? When's your premiere?

BlackBoy has signed off.
I sighed and turned off my laptop, shoving it lightly away from me, so it touched the back of the wall. Me and BB had turned into friends, which I was happy about, and I was excited for him. Overjoyed. I know a rising star! That I know of...you can't be sure that he's real...he could be a psychopath for all I know...
I dialled a cab service, and got some money out of the drawer.
"Ang! I'm gonna visit Mom! Wanna come?" I shouted loudly enough for her to hear. I heard a thumping and then Angela barged into my room.
"Ok. When?"
"Cab will be here in 10." Angela nodded then left the room. I got changed into sweats and a stretchy t-shirt, and tied my hair up in a ponytail. Screw fashion. I waited downstairs for Angela to arrive and I got into the taxi. We soon pulled up in front of Renee's and I handed the driver the money.
"Tah" I mumbled as I climbed out. We waited for Mom to finish with her customer, then she greeted us and hugged us tight.
"I missed you! Okay...measure...ments..." She then measured me and we chatted about how things are going.
"Mom can you make me a dress?" Angela asked, as sh sifted through the rack.
"Maybe on an occasion, sweet. Prom."
We spent the rest of the day there, and when I returned home I was knackered, so went straight to bed. This was new for me, usually I can't sleep for ages!
The 2 weeks past by in a blur, and soon I had the dress in a bag, and was in my hotel room provided by the company. I hadn't met anyone I knew, besides Charlotte, and people came in to do my hair and makeup. One was called Tanya, and she was a chatterbox.
"So, Bella. Why are you here?"
"I've seen Edward."
"Where's that dress?"
"Have you had speaking training yet? Don't say anything that could be compromising. I'll get someone to tell you the basics."
I was glad when she was done, and I was starving! But nobody thought food was an option, so I starved for most of the day. Someone helped me into the dress, and I looked at myself in the mirror. I hummed at what I saw.
Mom had made me a silver floaty dress that revealed my back and had thin straps. My hair was done up and was left in it's natural waves on top of my head. The makeup was dark, but shiny at the same time. I did a turn as I spun to heck myself out. Tanya rushed me out and I was ushered into a car. Throughout the short drive I thought back to what that trainer had told me. And once the door was opened, all I saw was flashes of camera bulbs. Someone came up to me and led my to one interviewer.
"Hello. What is your name?" The man gave me a fake grin. I smiled back politely.
"Bella Swan." I said confidently. The man nodded.
"And who are you wearing, Bella?"
I looked down at my dress and pushed my shoulders back. "Renee Swan."
The man looked surprised, but nodded in interest. "Ah, yes, the famous Renee? Family relation?"
I sent him a tight smile. "Uhuh."
"So, I hear you have a song on the Face Punch soundtrack. Is this true?"
I nodded enthusiastically. "Yep. I'm honoured to be a part of the soundtrack."
"So tell me about the song...?"
"Ah you'll have to wait and see..." I winked.
"Okay...thank you for talking, Bella Swan." I nodded and moved away for another person, who asked similar questions. I ignored the questions that were too personal or involved me and Edward, until one interviewer, who I knew off the TV.
"So...rumours say that you and our rising star, Edward Cullen are in a relationship...care to confirm?"
"Well, me and Edward are very good friends." I sent a white lie. We were over now. He nodded.
"Thank you, Bella." I moved away and scoured the red carpet. I then noticed the familiar bronze head. I grinned and stalked forward. He was grinning as he posed for a picture, then glanced at me, and did a double take.
"Bella!" He shouted in joy, and enveloped me in a hug. "Bella! Bella!" He spun me in a circle, and I ignored the shouts of the interviewers as I relished in this moment. His wore a shit eating smile as he stood there looking at me.
"You look beautiful, as always." He smirked, and led me to an interviewer.
"Hello, Nahuel." Edward greeted, and I looked up at him in astonishment. He sounded so calm and confident.
"Hi Edward, and is this the famous Bella Swan we've heard so much about? How are you both?" I felt myself blush crimson, and I looked down.
"Yes it is, Nahuel. I am very happy to be here, and I look forward to everyone's reactions to this film."
"And you Bella? How are you? We've heard your participation to the soundtrack, and we love it." Edward gave me a squeeze, and I gained instant new found confidence. I beamed at Nahuel.
"Yes, thank you, I am very good and so excited to be here. It seems so...surreal. And thank you! I'm glad you all like the song. Its a very special song to me, and I'm so delighted to share to with the world." I winked at Nahuel and he grinned.
"Edward, care to explain what Face Punch is really about?" He turned his attention to Edward, and I relaxed, listening to Edward describe the summary of the film, and then we left to take more photos.
"Just keep smiling, Bella." Edward whispered into my ear, and he departed, kissing my on the cheek. "I'll see you later, I have more interviews." So I did. I grinned, waved, and posed in front of the cameras, as I made my way down the carpet. I couldn't help but spot some famous celebrities, to which I was excited about, and even spoke to a few people. I finally finished, and was led to my seat, and soon Edward sat next to me. He look my hand and squeezed.
"You did so well." He whispered, as the film began. I watched the film intently, and admired Edward's stunts and acting skills. It was a great film. As underage, we all went to our rooms after the film, and I hugged Edward tightly as we were separated.
"Call me." I mumbled into his shirt as I shed a tear or two.
"Don't worry. Nothing can stop me...besides bad signal." I laughed weakly, and his lips touched mine softly before he turned around and left. I got out of my dress and put it back in the bag, and put on my sweats again, and climbed into my bed. The next morning, I was served my breakfast, and then it was time to go, back to my home in town, back to my normal life.
Have you left yet? B xx
A few hours later I got a reply.
I had to leave when I said goodbye last night. I had an interview with Carmen. E xx
Carmen was a talk show, that showed in America first, because it was based there. I should be able to watch it online, tomorrow. The next few days were suffocating. Everyone crowded around me when they saw the magazine pictures of me. Ugh Ugh Ugh! It was worse on Monday...
Flashback
I was late for class that day, and once I entered Math, all eyes went on me, and they completely ignored the teacher for the rest of the lesson, glancing at me from the corner of their eyes, as if they were expecting me to run out of the classroom any second, or as if I weren't real. Th bell went, and I took my time to get my books away, and into my bag. I could see that my class were taking their time too, as the next class were already outside the door, peering in to see me. This sucks. I then jumped up and walked at an inhuman pace out the door, and everyone just happened to finish what they were doing at that time. Bree was waiting outside the math block, and gave me a look. I could trust her. I turned a corner with her at my side, heading for the music room. Once i shut the door behind me, Bree looked at me pointedly, tapping her foot on the ground.
"Explain. Why didn't you tell me?" I groaned.
"Don't tell anyone- ok?" She nodded quickly, as I explained how I scored a contribution to the soundtrack. She sat down and promised over and over again that she will not tell a soul, not even if we fell out.
"Can I hear?" She looked up at me, and I sat at the keyboard, nodding.
"...Just answer me this
tell me now before I leave
Did you really love me
Oh was this all a hit and miss?..."
I sung my heart out, as I always had, and I saw Bree start to cry once I finished.
"That was...beautiful...w-was that about Edward?" I shrugged as I went over to give her a hug. Her makeup had run, and I told her so.
"I don't give a shit, Bella. You are meant to sing. Go on a talent show or something." She let out a weak laugh
End flashback
I logged online and started my fun conversation with BB. He was talking on a high today, as today he was going to perform a concert. I had to laugh at his excitement. He commented how he missed the Carmen show, which reminded me to check it out online. I signed off and searched the video. I found a successful one, and clicked on it.
There was applause as Carmen was introduced, and she introduced Edward, who strolled on stage.
"Hello, Carmen!"
"Hey Edward! So, how are you? This is your first time on here, right? You're a bit over friendly, stranger." A few laughs were heard.
"It is, Carmen. Techincally I am not a stranger. More like stalker- I've watched almost every one of your shows."
"Okay...that's not weird..." More laughs, and Edward smirked.
"So...Edward, tell us about your new film."
"Well, it's called Face Punch, and it is basically an action packed film about me and my co-star, Maggie, who are sent to take down these bad guys. It was really fun to shoot."
"And you had to go to school, while you were filming, did you not? Was everyone all over you? Don't lie, now." She waggled her eyebrows, and Edward ran a hand through his hair.
"Pretty much...I didn't stay long in every school, though. Just until we were done shooting in that particular area."
"There has been rumours that you met someone over in one of those school, who you hooked up to be on the soundtrack, is that correct?" Edward nodded.
"Yes, Bella Swan. I met her on my first day at this one school, and we grew close. I heard her singing voice and took her to my director, Aro, to let him hear her. Once he did, he made room for her vocals and music to be in the film. She has an amazing voice, and writes her own songs." He spoke with such interest and enthusiasm, and I hadn't realised, but I was grinning.
"Well, we must get a performance of her... and you yourself ar eon the soundtrack, too? And you are going to perform it here, live, with us?"
"Yes, it's called Hear Me Now."
"Well why don't we hear it now. Ladies and Gentlemen, Edward Cullen, with his new single, Hear Me Now!" The lights dimmed as the crowd cheered. Edward moved onto the platform, and grabbed his acoustic guitar as he fingered the notes, and started plucking.
"...Listen, Can you hear me now?
Do you understand, where I'm coming from.
Love, can you hear me now?
Or are you just ignoring me.
I don't try, to, be, anyone I'm not
Please just hear me...out...
It was one time, it was crazy
I had no idea what was going on
All the memories are fuzzy
Just please, stop, turn and
hear me now
hear me now
hear me now
Just Hear me now
I can explain, just please would you
Hear me now..."
Don't mock the made up lyrics (if you think they're good then please say so xD)
