Carlisle Cullen...
Carlisle..
Cullen..
Cullen Productions..
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Alice screams but quickly clamps her hands over her mouth.
I look over at Rose and see she's just as speechless as I am.
"I take it, you've never been approached before then?" He says.
The three of us just shake our heads in sync with each other.
Finally I find my voice. "No, this is actually our first gig, Sam's a friend of my father's and he needed someone to fill in."
He shakes his head as if I just told him something outrageous. "It seems that I've been wrong."
As he says those words, I feel my heart breaking and look at my girls and notice the same thing.
Carlisle looks up and is confused. "No girls, it's not a bad thing but I assumed with how well you preformed up there together that you guys have been approached before."
OH THANK GOD
I can tell the girls are still a bit shaky but I'm the one to speak up.
"Isabella Swan, lead vocalist and guitar."
"Rosalie Hale, bass."
"Alice Brandon, drums."
"Well it's very nice to meet you girls. I was wondering if we could grab a table and talk." he says.
Nodding at the same time as the rest we follow Carlisle to a table near the back.
I look over and see Sam and he's got this huge smile on his face. Humph. Weird.
"Well girls since this is your first time talking to anyone I just wanted to let you guys know that I believe you guys have got talent." We all just stare at Carlisle. Was it really just a few days ago Ali was complaining about how it won't ever happen to us? Obviously I'm not stupid and I know just him approaching us doesn't mean anything but hey a girl can hope right?
"Anyways I wanted to introduce myself and give you guys my card. I would love it if you guys would stop by my studio and play a little something for the guys there as well. Obviously it would be the best if you've got your own songs to perform but doing a few covers work just as well." he says.
"Oh.. Yeah we'd love to!" what else can I say. I'm totally tongue-tied and have no idea how to act.
"Sure just name the time and when you'd like to see us and we'll get something together." Thank god for Rose, she's a damn lifesaver!
"How does 2 weeks from today sound? I would need to find some studio space and get the other reps down to be able to give you guys a listen."
"Not a problem at all! We'll have something together by then!" Alice, finally something out of her mouth other than a squeal!
"Ok so I'll see you guys then. Give me a call and we'll work out the details soon." As he got up to leave, we all just stare at each other then scream!
"OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!" yells Alice.
"Seriously did CARLISLE FUCK ME CULLEN just approach us and wanted to give us a listen?" Yeah Rose and that mouth of hers.
"Wow." They both look at me dumbstruck. What else is there to say? I seriously knew this would one day happen but to have one of the hottest record company, no the man responsible for that company, approach us and to have an interest in us?
I'm totally speechless.
I let Sam know the news and he couldn't be happier for us. He let me know that if we ever wanted to come back to play we'd be more than welcomed.
The drive back to Forks was excruciating.
Knowing that we'd have to get a few songs together to play was killer but I can't wait to tell my parents!
Renee and Charlie have always been our biggest supporters. So yeah we practice out of my garage.
Alice's parents would rather her go to fashion school because they know she's got that special gift of knowing the next big thing and believe she can go far.
Any guesses as to what Rosalie's parents want her to do? Yeah model. Not just any model but a Victoria Secret's Runway model. Talk about pressure. She owns her look that's for sure but she's got the love for music way more.
As Rose pulls up to drop me off at my house, I yell, "BITCHES WE'RE GONNA ROCK HIS WORLD!"
Alice screams so loud Rose smacks her.
Slapping my hands over my mouth trying not to laugh..
Yeah that shit was fricken hilarious!
Alice is just giving Rose the hugest glare ever and Rose right back at her.
"What.. There's only so much screaming I can take during a night." smirking she just turns back to the front.
Alice looks pissed but she knows that Rose has a point but hey I feel her excitement as well, so I wink at her and mouth two words I know will cheer her right back up..
Seeing that smile return back to her face bigger than after we talked to Carlisle is worth it. I just hope I don't regret it.
.~:SB:~.
October
"So our meeting with Carlisle is next week. I know exactly what we're going to wear!" The damn pixie just knows how to start the week off that's for sure.
It's Monday morning and we just got to school. We all hitch a ride into Rose's beat up old car. You would think that the most popular girl in school with the richest boyfriend would have a nicer or at least newer car. But no. We're stuck in a 1989 Ford Bronco. I mean it gets us to the places we need to go but this damn girl won't give it up!
"Oh Bella quit with that look already. I know you hate Bucky but stop it. He's my car and you are just going to have to get off your damn high horse or you can have the Chief drop you off at school in his cruiser." says Rose.
"I know I'm sorry but seriously you would think a chick would drive a totally different car. I mean seriously your car looks like it belongs to one of the jock boys!" I tell her back.
Rose just rolls her eyes at me and walks toward the school. Alice gives me that evil look and I just know I'm going to regret practice after school today.
As we follow Rose up to school, I go over the song list that I've been putting together for us to perform for Carlisle. The girls left that up to me but I still want their input. I won't be the only one singing so that's going to be the shocker to them.
Biology is seriously a drag and I just cannot wait to get out of this class. Although I'm an excellent student, you wouldn't have known that from just looking at me. I don't run with the nerds and my two girls are pretty much the only ones I talk to in school. Finally it's lunch and I head to our table where Rose and Alice are already deep into a conversation. Magazines spread out all over I know where this is going already.
"Hey sexy how about you and me head down to Port Angeles this weekend?" I feel my blood boil when I hear that voice knowing it's none other than Mike Newton.
"You know I've got a boyfriend right Mike? I try to tell him with out losing my composure.
"Yeah so what doesn't mean you can't have fun. I mean he's a res boy he wouldn't even know." He says back.
*CRACK*
Shit. Shit. SHIT. DAMN IT I'm going to the principal's office again now.
I look down and see Mike cringing on the ground and look up at Rose and Alice who give me that knowing look.
"Ms. Swan what's going on here?" I hear Mr. Banner say.
Fuck. Charlie's gonna kill me.
"Uh Mr. Banner. I'm sorry but Mike came up behind me and scared me. He then went on to say that he wanted me to cheat on my boyfriend with him." smirking at Mike I continue to say, "It was an accident, I didn't mean to punch him but guess that's what I did."
Mr. Banner looks from Mike to me, and says, "I'm sorry Ms. Swan but violence is not tolerated and you know that. I'm going to have to ask the two of you to come with me."
After looking at Alice and Rose I follow Mr. Banner with the bleeding fool.
I end up having after school detention for the rest of the week and Mike's got the same. Thank god though that we don't have to serve the time with each other. The girls are going to flip when they hear that. It means our after school practices are going to have to be pushed back and less time to practice each day.
Fuck.
Oh well. The girls know I've got a low tolerance for the guys at our school. It's like they find it a challenge on who can ask Bella the freak out and score with me. I don't know how that got around but I am not a damn slut. They all seem to think I'm some desperate girl looking for some guy to take pity on me.
Well they've got another fucking thing coming.
