"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I went downstairs, and Mom, Dad, Angela and Bree in the kitchen, surrounding a lit birthday cake. I giggled and ran to everyone, giving them a hug each. As I hugged, Bree, she whispered in my ear.
"I came early for my bestie!" I giggled again hysterically. Angela put a large badge on my white shirt, and I read it. 'It's my Birthday!' I grinned.
"It is!" I struggled with what words to say as I looked over the cake.
"Presents first!" I heard my Mom screech.
"The candles-" I shut myself up. There was no point in arguing. I was turned towards the sofa in the living room, which wrapped items were scattered around. I jumped for the largest one first, which I tore open, and what I saw was the most awesome present ever. A natural acoustic guitar. I was lost for words. I made what I recall, a squeak, and jumped up and down in glee. I looked expectantly around, looking for the other presents, and the wrapping off those went just as quickly. I smiled and hugged my friend and family, then ran to the cake, because the candles were on their last leg.
Please...Make me a star.
I blew the candles forcefully, as to blow all of the candles out, and I heard everyone clapping. I released my hair, not worried they'll get sizzled off by the flame, and grabbed the cake knife to cut everyone a slice. As I did so, Angela hesitantly pulled out the 13 candles, careful on the blade in my hand. I munched happily on the cake, a Victoria sponge cake. Yum. It was school today, which sucked, and Mom had to go back to work, so I walked with Bree to school, to be greeted once again by cheers of 'happy birthday'. Tyler came up from behind and slapped my butt.
"Hey instead of 13 punches, why not 13 slaps on your behind." Tyler grinned cheekily, and I shoved him away.
"Get off me doofus! And no, if you hit me, punch or slap, again, I will humiliate you. I don't give shit for you." I exploded. He looked at me, stunned.
"Boy, with age your mood just gets bigger." He dodged another whack, laughing. "Hopefully when you hit 16, you'll get looser..." he said in a hard voice, and turned in another direction. I frowned. It's as if he's on his period. God! Boys are so confusing. When I got to form, Tia grinned at me and mouthed 'Happy Birthday' I nodded and thanked her quietly. She knew how I didn't like to make a huge deal over my birthday. Diego looked deep in thought.
"What's up, Diego?"
"The sky." it took a second for me to get it, and once I did, I laughed hard, practically on the floor.
"No, seriously. What's wrong?" He shrugged, then looked into my eyes. I froze, speculating what was different about him.
"A-a-are you wearing...contacts?" He shook his head.
"It's the light." I frowned. I swear they weren't that colour before...I looked down to my lap, confused.
The lessons went by quickly, and once I got home, I went straight to my guitar, which I decided to to call Eddie, for my first inspiration for getting into music as a career. Unfortunately, he hasn't been texting me back, and I've sent him at least 5 texts. I don't know where he's got to, and I missed him. It's been 2 weeks since the last text.
At 6pm, I signed online for mine and BB's daily chat. This worked for he was awake at this time in the USA. Apparently he was doing better in his band, and their tour was a complete success, and they were getting more popular. Too bad not so much in the UK, but he promised to tour there soon, when they could. They released a debut album, but he wouldn't tell me their band, which was suspicious, but I let it go.

I shut the laptop off and looked at the clock. 9pm. We've been at this for 3 hours! It's my birthday! I should socialise more! I walked downstairs, and looked around. Nobody was here. Huh. I slowly walked back upstairs and admired Eddie again. I picked up my pick and started plucking again, learning the notes form the book that came with it, and I was at it all night, and by the end I managed to play a decent tune. I spent the day playing the guitar, and I started to make up my own music, and it came from the heart. By lunch, I zonked out for a while, and when I woke up, it was 5pm, so I went to get some grub. Soon I was back on the laptop typing to BB.
BlackBoy: So, when can I see some lyrics, missy? Have you been working on some?
Bells19: In fact, I have. Hold on.

Sending Accepted.
Bells19: Do not steal. That is my voice and music. I worked it along the guitar today. It's not the best quality, but I wrote it, after you.
"...I haven't seen your face
But I know that it's beautiful
I haven't seen your smile
But I know its always beaming
right here everyday
I haven't seen your eyes
But it's gotta be something
that make them shine so brightly..."
The minutes went by, without a reply off of BB.
Bells19: You there?
A minute later...
Bells19: BB.
BlackBoy: You have a really good voice. And that song...is spectacular. Really. It's really good. I love it. You have a beautiful voice.
Bells19: Er. Thanks. It means allot to me.
BlackBoy is requesting a sending document. Accept or Decline?
Sending Accepted.
Bells19: What's this?
BlackBoy: My band's music.
I pressed the button to listen, and I heard guitars, drums, and then voices.
"...You can't tell me it's over
When had the fat lady sung?
Don't walk away. Please don't
walk away from the laughs the kisses
the thing between us was so strong
Think before you call this love over..."
The song was really a great song. I lost all doubt that BB's band wasn't getting somewhere.
Bells19: That's amazing! Please tell me your band's name!
BlackBoy: Nooo I knew that if I'd show you that you won't stop begging! Nuh! this song isn't even on the album, so you can't find it like that! HA!
Bells19: Ouch :( It's a good song though. Not sure about the voices thoughhh :(
BlackBoy: Ouch :'( that hurt allot. And when we are already technically celebrities.
Bells19: WTF? Stop being a jerk and TELL ME NEWS!
BlackBoy: Only if you take it back :'( my heart hurts ATM :'(
Bells19: You know I was kidding, but I take it back...
BlackBoy: Okay :) You're forgiven.
Bells19: So? Celebrity are you? Eh?

Holy SHIT! BB did not just do that! Fucker! I groaned and sent him a text.

Huh. Well that was interesting. i saved that text so I would remember. His name started with a J? Well that was an interesting piece of information...what could it be? James? John? Jim? I didn't reply, not wanting to think I suspected anything. I got an early night, and fell on my bed, tired.
6 months later...
I woke up, feeling in a haze. The radio blasted The Blacks, and I grinned, turning the music louder. My mind filled with images of Jacob Black, the lead singer, and how kissable he was. Just at 14, he was soon to be 15, and he was gorgeous! I smiled to myself and hummed in contentment. His face, those eyes...those...lips...I giggled, coy. I had a poster of The Blacks up on my wall, and I looked at them dreamily, then jumped up and reached for my guitar, playing a few chords. My next instrument will be electric, I want one for my next birthday. Today I was going to the studio to record another song, and I needed to get it right this time. My Mom spent so much last time and I couldn't sort myself out. I've recorded at least 6 original songs now, and I wanted at least 10, to give a record dealer. I was going to make it. I had to make it. For Edward, for myself.
Another 6 months later...
"Bella...! You're 14 today" Mom came into my room with a video camera, and recorded my awakening moments. Too bad I was already awake. But to make her happy, I pretended like I was 14.
"Mom!" I gronaed, rolling over on my bed, and weakly chucking a pillow at her. "I'm tired. 5 minutes grace!"
"Bella! Come ON! We have presents!" Mom said in her excited tone of voice. I sat up, and rubbed my eyes. "Get ready!"
It took me five minutes, and then I was downstairs, in a summer dress and heels. Yes. I have learnt how to tame the death traps. I walked over, smiling at the smiling crowd.
"Gimme!" I screeched as Angela held out a envelope to me. i greedily opened it, and screamed so high pitched, it was barely audible.
"HOLY MOTHER-" I shouted as I read what was on the slip. I was going to see...THE BLACKS! FUCK YES! AND TONIGHT! I raised my arms out and grabbed Angela in a jumpy hug.
"See! I told you we'd go to a concert! Mom's coming with us. And plus...they are VIP. We get to MEET them!" I looked at Mom, surprised. Mom barely went out with us anymore. This was HUGE! I got some other stuff but the tickets were what made my day. I sent BB a text.
EEE! I'm gonna see The Blacks tonight! Jealous much? I'm gonna bring my CD to show them. See if they'll hear my songs :) xxx
I didn't receive a reply, but I assumed he was back on tour again. Must make him busy.
It was a Saturday night, and I was ready to PARTAY! I got dressed early and we took a long cab to the city, where we queued for our seats and made our way to the front row, where I could touch the stage. Jacob Black could move his hand my way, and I would grab it. I don't understand why girls let go of his hand once they have him. Just hold on and PULL! ha ha! The lights dimmed and I giggled with Angela as The Blacks arrived on stage and performed their number one hit, Shut Up And Let's Party.
"...Hold on tight you're in too deep
Tell your friends, this ain't neat
To get off their feet and Jump around
Stop screaming just shut up and lets PARTY!..."
I shouted over the crowd in the wild, concert excitement that was flowing through my veins. Once the song ended, Jacob called out to everyone.
"Hey all! We're The Blacks, and we hope you can accept our American heads!" The crowd screamed in return. "Also, our feature, I'm ashamed to say will not be here with us tonight...he had some...issues to deal with...But that only means that you get more of US! Hello ENGLAND!"
The crowd screamed and shouted, begging for another song.
"You want another song?" Embry Call, vocals and guitar asked. More screams deafened my ears. I took a photo of them close up. I sifted through my bag to put it back, and saw my CD flicker in the flashing lights. I smiled.
Half an hour in, and they had one more song before a break. I decided to put my bag on the side to find my camera, as it seemed to have gotten lost in there, and someone shoved me from behind, causing my bag to fly out onto the stage. I gasped and tried to reach for it. What was worse, was my CD had slided out of the bag. SHIT! I turned around and narrowed my eyes at the Blondie bitch who knocked me. She was too busy screaming in my ear to notice. I turned back, a panicked expression planted on my face. I saw Jacob Black was close by, so i tried to reach for my bag before it was gone forever. Jacob noticed me, and looked at the bag. And he picked up my bag and handed it to me! I mouthed a 'thank you' and he inspected my face before he looked back up and sung out the final lyrics.
"We'll be back after the short break!" He shouted. He then kneeled down and spoke to me. "Are you okay, missy?" My mouth dropped open in response. I was lost for words.
"M-my CD...behind you..." he frowned and spun on his heel, and picked my CD up. When he turned back around, he was reading the cover. He mouthed the words on the CD as he read, and girls were almost climbing on top of me to reach him.
"You sing?" he shouted at me, over the racket. I nodded. "Do you sing good?"
Angela butt in. "She's amazing. Bella writes her own stuff." Jacobs eye glazed over, then his eyebrows rose.
"Really? Well, we kind of need a singer to be our supporting act tonight. Wanna sing?" My eyes went wide with shock, but I managed to nod my head. What was I thinking? I had no idea, but I wasn't in the right mind at that moment. He offered a hand and pulled me up, with the help of Angela. I wobbled when I got on the stage, and the screams went louder than ever. I looked around, stunned, then looked at Jacob. I offered a hand.
"Hi. Bella Swan." He shook it, and electricity flashed through my hand and up my arm. Please say that wasn't a heart attack!
"Sounds familiar." He mumbled, loud enough for me to hear. "Is this instrumental, or with your vocals too?"
"Um..." I went into my back and brought out a sheet of the songs. It went from the songs with vocals then without vocals. "here..." I handed the sheet to him and he nodded.
"What song?"
My brain fumbled for a song I could remember at this time of my life. "Cyber Guy." He nodded then went backstage, before handing me his microphone. I stood there, looking twatish, and looked at Angela, who pleaded with my eyes to not screw this up. I took a deep breath and stormed to the middle of the stage. I felt my arm being touched, and Jacob was there, putting something in my ears and on the side of my jeans. he then took my microphone and announced.
"Everyone! This is Bella Swan, and She's gonna be our supporting act tonight, while we are on our breaks, if you don't mind..." He looked at me as he handed the microphone back. "you can do this." I shut my eyes and turned to face the crowd as the notes started to play... I looked to the big screen at the back, showing me looking like I'd piss myself. I found my happy place, and sung.
"Didn't know what I got myself into
When I first pressed 'sign me up!'
But then I found you
My own personal Cyber Guy...
I haven't seen your face
But I know that it's beautiful
I haven't seen your smile
But I know its always beaming
right here everyday
I haven't seen your eyes
But it's gotta be something
that make them shine so brightly..."
I improved my stance and looked back at the large screen. It showed...Jacob's face. And his eyes were huge as he was walking forward. I turned around, and he had a microphone in his hand too.
"...now it's been a year and I feel
Like I'm on a high everyday with you
But I still haven't see you face to face
But you haven't seen mine too..."
Suddenly Jacob took my hand and started singing the words alongside me. I was confused as anything, but as he sung the lyrics, the pieces seemed to fit.
"...I haven't seen your face
But I know that it's beautiful
I haven't seen your smile
But I know its always beaming
right here everyday
I haven't seen your eyes
But it's gotta be something
that make them shine so brightly..."
The text ending in J...him being in a band...touring in the UK...being the same age...was my cyber guy Jacob Black? My eyes widened as I realised Yes. It was.
Please please pretty please! Review! I have no idea if anyone likes it or doesn't like it, and it means allot to me :')
