Partly Parson's

A/N: So…Here is the deal…I'm really sorry about the wait. I got a new job, and finals are happening. It would be very nice, though, if we had some form of feedback. I really appreciate the reviews so far and I'm not discounting them. So in an effort to involve the readers more, here is this chapter's question: What do you want to see happen in chapter 9. Don't be afraid to give detailed specifics, I'll choose from the responses and of course give credit to the person who gave the idea. Please, please, please be honest in your answers and critiques. I've got thick skin and I want to be a better writer but I can't do that without you guys! Now, with only the disclaimer left…enjoy Partly Parson's chapter 8!

Disclaimer: Ummm….so…..ok… like I totally don't own anything twilight, cuz if I did I would sooooo not share Edward. But, I do, like totally claim the story line, cuz like who could not; you know it's like so awesome. (Hahahahahah I crack myself up!) Oh, and no copying my stuff, that's like sooooo wrong. More wrong than socks with sandal, Yuk!

B POV:

I sat in the seat Jake motioned to. "Jake, I'm not really sure the guy I'm waiting for will really be ok with you buying me a drink. We were supposed to be on a date." I really didn't want the words to sound bitter, but I heard them leave my mouth that way and regretted it immediately. I mean, sure Jake seemed nice enough and I'm sure if I give him a chance he'll be a perfect gentleman. My internal rambling came to a halt when Jake started to laugh. It was a hearty, warm laugh that I couldn't help but grin at. "Honey, listen, I'm not your man's competition. I saw you standing there and I saw the wolves about to descend, so I stepped in." Jake said when he was finally able to quit laughing. "Wolves?" I questioned him with a sarcastic tone in my voice. "Sweet-thing, you are too naive. Every guy in this place has been eyeing you and your friends all night. The other two are apparently spoken for and that left you open and available for the scum to claim you." Jake used air quotes when he said "claim you". "Ok but why do you think you're doing me a favor? Aren't you just some scum bag trying to get in my panties?" I shot back at him with all the forcefulness I could muster. Jake was about to answer me when another really good looking guy approached him. Jake's face lit up and the guy reached around to kiss him square on the mouth. I sat there mouth open looking like a fool while the two men in front of me finished their kiss. "Hey, I'm sorry I'm late." The new guy looked very apologetically at Jake. "No problem. This is Bella. I rescued her." Jake motioned towards me and grinned like a child. "Well...hello Bella. I'm Paul. Forgive my rudeness." He held his hand out for me to shake. I took it gingerly. I've never actually met a gay couple. Sure I've had my suspicions, especially about Eric, but no confirmation. "Nice to meet you, Paul." I said meekly, and blushed a bright red. "I was just trying to explain to Bella why her date wouldn't mind if I bought her a drink, but I think you may have given her enough of an explanation." Jake snickered and put his arm lovingly around Paul. "In this case, I'm almost positive that Edward wouldn't mind if you bought me a drink, but let's keep this between us until I see if he has a good enough excuse for abandoning me." I said, finishing with a laugh. "Sure thing sweet-thing, we'll play along." Paul said, slipping out from Jake's arm and moving to sit on the other side of me. "Now, how about getting you a drink?" Jake said while motioning for the bartender to come over. "Surprise me!" I told him. A few minutes later the bartender came over with a drink that was yellow, like lemonade, with a blue layer on the top of it. I warily took a small sip of the drink. I was sweet and a little sour and whatever the blue stuff was, gave it a little tropical taste. "Jake, what is this?" I asked him after I took a bigger drink. "It's called a blue moon. Be careful though, it doesn't taste like alcohol but it is probably one of the strongest drinks you're gonna drink." He told me while holding up a beer glass in a toasting motion. "I love it! Get me another!" I told him and began to drink greedily from the cup. Edward abandoned me, so now I'm getting plastered with two very good looking gay guys. Hopefully he'll see how I feel.

E POV:

Our last song finished and I saw Jasper lunging from the stage, and Emmet wrap his arm protectively around Rosalie, which had her beaming until she noticed the other chicks in the bar eyeing Emm. I looked at Bella; she was standing there looking way to sweet and too alone. I took a step forward but no sooner than I did there was a woman in front of me. "Hi…" She purred I assume she was trying to be seductive but it sounded like she was sick. "Hi. I've gotta go." I said trying to side step her. I couldn't see Bella anymore. "My name is Catherine Carpenter. I'm from Epitaph Records. I loved your show." She said lightly grabbing my arm. "It's nice to meet you Ms. Carpenter, but I really have to go right now. Give me your card and I'll set up an appointment." I told her side stepping again to try and see Bella. "Mr. Cullen, you don't understand. I have a contract for you, I would really like for you to read it and maybe we could talk over a drink." I finally turned to really look at the woman. She was tall with huge boobs, her bleached blonde hair was pulled up in a messy pony tail and her makeup was too thick. She wore some crazy looking tank top number with almost her whole boobs poking out the top. Her jeans were too tight skinny jeans and the shoes she had on were atrocious. "Ms. Carpenter..." I tried again to tell her I was meeting someone. "Oh, please call me Catherine." She said while grabbing my arm and pulling me to a back table. "You may want to text your friend. He'll need to sign the contract too." I really am getting tired of this pushy woman. "Listen, Ms. Carpenter. I have a date, she's waiting on me and I have to get back to her. Now, you can give me your card and the contract. I'll look over it and have Jasper look over it and we'll call you." I said, out of breath and severely aggravated with this woman. "I see. Here you are. Call me by Friday or we'll consider your answer a NO." she snapped and stalked off toward the back entrance. I turned heading for the front of the stage again. Standing in the wings half hidden by the curtain I scanned the crowd of nobodies for the one person I really wanted to see. My heart sank into the pit of my stomach; Bella was sitting at the bar with not one but two fucking guys. I wanted to march over there and rip one of the guys arms completely out of socket, two more seconds and I might have. Thank the good Lord in heaven I spotted the two guys touching hands, it was subtle and brief but I saw it. The knot in my stomach eased and I jumped off the stage.

I made my way silently over to Bella and slid up next to the guy on her right. "So, I see you found someone to keep you company." I teased and she whipped her head around so fast I was sure she would have whip lash. I looked at her face that was not the beautiful smile I was hoping to find. She was looking at me like Wyatt Earp looked at the guy with the red sash at the end of Tombstone. I almost thought she would produce a shot gun any second and scream "Tell em' I'm comin and hell's comin with me!" I wish I would have gotten that response, because what I did get was unnerving. "YOU." She seethed through clenched teeth. "Bella? What's the matter?" I asked holding my hands up in surrender. "You fucking left me. You said this was a date. You wanted this to be a date. You didn't come." Bella was making her way closer and closer to me with every sentence she said. I glanced around for a moment to see if I could find Alice and the real Bella and noticed that she had acquired a beer bottle that was going to make impact with my face very soon. I cringed, waiting for the impact, but it never came. I opened one eye slowly and saw the big guy she was sitting by holding her back while the other one moved toward me. "Hi, I'm Jake. That…" He motioned over his shoulder. "Is my boyfriend Paul. We bought Bella some drinks, which apparently made her frisky. Sorry about that." Jake grinned at me and extended his hand for me to shake. "Yeah, I see that. I'm Edward. I didn't leave her, and we are on a date. I got bombarded after the last song by an agent." I told him quickly "I just have to convince her of that." I finished in a defeated tone. This is not how I wanted our first date to be; hopefully Bella would give me a second chance, hopefully.

Alice POV:

I officially think Jasper is a full of himself, pompous, shit head. How dare he insinuate that it would be ok for other girls to be "hanging" all over him? Who does he think he's messing with? I like the boy alright, but I seem to remember breaking my share of hearts and luring just about any guy I deemed worthy. So I decided to show him just how desirable I am. My plan took off without a hitch too. The bouncer at the door even gave me his number, but I threw it away as soon as Jasper wasn't looking. Edward showed us to our table and I sat down, not too long after that they went back stage and the guys I'd been sending eye signals to made their way over as if under my spell. Now, here's the genius in my plan, I know Jasper is watching from back stage so I play it up big for the guys, flirting, touching, and laughing. I know he can't stand it, and he only confirms that when he comes out on stage looking twelve shades of pissed off. Their songs went off majestically. I gotta hand it to them; those two can sing their pretty little white behinds off. Then for the last song Edward announced the last song was guys choice and Jasper made eye contact with me, telling me who his choice was. Satisfied, I settled in for the song, waiting for him to come to me and Edward to go to Bella. The song ended just right for me, but Bella was left standing there like a deer in headlights. That's when I saw her, the blonde bimbo that had her hands all over Edward just inside the wing of the curtains. Jasper saw what I saw too and tried to pull me away, telling me things aren't always what they seem and that's when I saw Bella walk over to the bar with Mr. Tall, dark and extremely fucking handsome. Who knows what's going to happen when Bella and Edward finally meet back up, I hope she isn't too upset.
