I woke up extremely early again this morning. I had dreamt of Bella for the entirety of the night.
And now I had nothing to do. I couldn't go back to sleep, thinking of her.
Would it be too early to go see Bella? Would I look like a stalker?
Perhaps I shouldn't refer to myself like that.
I decided that I would only waste my time worrying at home, so I grabbed Bella's key and jotted out the front door.

The phone woke me up the next morning. It was Carlisle.
"Hello?"
"Good morning Bella! I just have the best news for you!" Carlisle answered cheerfully. How does he do that so early in the morning? He has a talent.
"What was that?" I asked him.
"I got a call from an agent this morning. Do you know Lily Allen?"
"I do. What did he say?" I asked him. I was curious, what would Lily Allen want with me?
"She wants you to sing one of her new songs with her at her concert. It's called "The Fear". I haven't heard it, but it has been extremely popular. I'll send you the lyrics and a video with just the music on it if you want to do it. I will say it will probably good publicity, but don't feel pressured." Carlisle always gives me the choice. He unlike other managers was not greedy or pushy.
"I'll do it. What could it hurt?" I answered. Truthfully, I didn't really care, I loved to sing and this was just another opportunity to do so.
"Alright, I'm sending it to you now. I'll see you later!" He hung up.
Alright, looks like I have to practice. Not that I minded.
I turned up the music and began singing.

I let myself in their house with my set of keys.
I faintly heard noise, a sign that Bella was probably awake.
I started walking up the stairs when I heard Bella singing. She had a beautiful voice. I decided to stand outside her door and listen.
I wanna be rich, and I want lots of money.
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny.
What? Surely Bella didn't right that. She wasn't one to care about finances. I tried to ignore the first line. I started listening to the song again, after Bella had sung a few more lines.
I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
'Cuz everyone knows that's how you get famous
I let out a frustrated growl. Bella was going to kill me with that song.
Was Bella planning on producing this song? If she was, she would have to preform it. In front of crowds.
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I'm getting thinner
Carlisle must have had some one else write this song. There was absolutely no was Bella wrote this.
There was absolutely no way I was letting her preform it.
I busted into her room.
"Bella!" I shouted. She spun around quickly, wearing only a sports bra and shorts. I had to focus. She quickly grabbed a sweater off her bed and threw it on.
"I sincerely hope you do not plan on singing that in front of a crowd!" I said. I think my heart sped up from how much anger I was harboring.

I just got done with the first rendition of the song. I liked the tune, and it was kind of funny, but I didn't like the lyrics at all. (PS I LOVE THE SONG! Just Bella doesn't)
It's just that, well, it is definitely not something I would want to sing in front of a crowd of people. I mean it's kind of ridiculous. And that video! Carlisle must not have watched it. It wasn't just music. It was dance moves. Seductive dance moves. I got so over heated just trying to do them that I threw my sweater off to cool down.
I really hope Carlisle didn't already tell Lily's agent I would preform with her. should have just said no from the start, or listened to the song, first.
Suddenly, a very furious Edward burst through my room, surprising me.
"Bella!" He yelled, and I spun around in shock. He froze for a moment, and I realized I was still in my sports bra. I blushed, and quickly grabbed my sweater. Edward continued his rant, apparently not as phased as I though about seeing my very exposed stomach.
"I sincerely hope you do not plan on singing that in front of a crowd!" he said angrily.
I was about to tell him that it wasn't my song, but he went on.
"This isn't like you! There is no way I'm letting you sing that in front of people!"
"Yeah? Well I don't exactly want to either." I answered grumpily. Believe it or not, I didn't want to look like a desperate attention craving celebrity.
"Wait… you didn't write that?" He asked looking very confused. He looked adorable.
I just gave him a questioning glance. I'm surprised he thought I would write that.
"Then why were you singing it?" Still looking confused, he sat down on the couch.
"Lily Allen's people called Carlisle; she wants me to sing it at her concert. I said yes before I knew what I was singing." I sat down next to him. He wrapped his arms around me.
"There is no way I'm letting you sing that. Not in front of a crowd of lust-filled boys." He said with a stubborn face.
I laughed without humor. "It's not just singing. There are dance moves, too."
"You're not doing that." He said, stone faced.
"Fine by me. What are we going to tell Carlisle?"
He unwrapped his arms from me and got up. "I'll talk to him."
"Just one more question," I shot him a smirk, "Do you put yourself into that category?"
"What category?"
"I think you called them 'lust-filled boys,'" I said.
He groaned. "Bella! You're going to be the death of me." He quickly went out the door.
I couldn't stop laughing at his face after he left. It kept popping up in my mind!

"Just one more question," she smirked, "Do you put yourself into that category?"
"What category?"
I fell into her well placed trap. "I think you called them 'lust-filled boys'"
I groaned. She really has no idea what she does to me. "Bella! You're going to be the death of me."
I ran out before she could say anything else. I could still hear her giggling.
I hit the stairs, and pulled out my cell phone. Time to call Carlisle.
"Edward?" He asked. He sounded like he didn't believe it was me. I must not have called in a long time. Now that I think about it, before working for Bella, I haven't seen any of the family…
"Edward, you there?" Carlisle asked again.
"Oh yeah, sorry. I called to tell you Bella can't sing that song." I answered. Just talking about it made me mad again. I haven't really ever been jealous before, but that's just another experience Bella has brought upon me.
"Sure I haven't called the agent yet, but I'm just curious, why can't she?"
"I won't let her. Have you heard the lyrics?" I answered simply.
"Oh yeah! I forgot to congratulate you son! Esme and I are so proud of you! We're happy for you and Bella!"
I heard Emmett talking in the background. "Hurt her Edward, and Jasper and I will have to kick your ass. Big time."
I also heard Jasper agreeing and giving Emmett a high five.
"Emmett dear…" I cut Esme off.
"Put me on speaker Carlisle." I heard the beep of the button. "It's okay Esme. Remember when Emmett would try to beat me up when we were younger? He never could. And that was before I had bodyguard training." I said loud enough for him to hear.
I heard Jasper talking to Emmett. I could always easily beat Emmett when we were younger, but Jasper was always more of a challenge.
"Just don't hurt her and I won't have to kick your ass." Jasper answered.
"He means we." Emmett screamed into the phone.
"Yeah, well I don't plan to. And Emmett, I'm pretty sure Jasper meant himself, and just him." I said and hung up. I knew Emmett would try to beat up Jasper, but end up breaking something, much to Esme's displeasure.
I heard a familiar giggle from behind me.
It was Bella. She came up to me and kissed me.
"Don't be too hard on Emmett, he's only trying to be my big brother." She said laughing.
"Whatever. Let's go get some breakfast. I'm sure Emmett will be calling Rosalie soon to get a confidence boost anyway."
We continued down the stairs. Bella, of course being Bella, tripped on the last step.
I, on instinct, caught her. She blushed a deep red and muttered thanks and tried to detach herself.
I gave her a kiss and preceded to carry her, bridal style, to the kitchen.
I realized something when I caught her.
That Bella belongs in my arms, and I'm never going to let her go.
Here are the lyrics to the Fear by Lily Allen. Look it up, its good
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and f#kloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
'Cuz everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track yeah I'm on to a winner
Chorus
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
'Cuz I'm being taken over by The Fear
Life's about film stars and less about mothers
It's all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic
and that's what makes my life so f#king fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it's how I'm program to function
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track yeah I'm on to a winner
Chorus
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
'Cuz I'm being taken over by The Fear
Bridge
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I'm getting thinner
Chorus
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
'Cause I'm being taken over by fear
Review please!
