Author's Note: Here's chapter 16! Oh and happy July 4th! R&R please!
Disclaimer: I still don't own Twilight that's Stephenie Meyers, American Idol, A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope (beautiful song), and A Woman in Love by Barbra Streisand

"Charlotte!" called Paula, I watched a brunette girl stand up she was just as pretty as the previous girl but still she somehow didn't match up to the blonde vixen who had sung first.
Something about that Rosalie Hale was so addicting, too bad she wasn't a bit single. Believe me I tried she's still hitched to that big guy on steroids. (AN: aka Emmett)
I thought back to Charlotte's audition as she walked up to the stage, we first met her in Massachusetts, where she had sung Thinking of You by ATC. As well as her pretty singing voice she had a strong personality and she seemed determined to win.
(AN: Remember you my reviewers can add yourself too! So review!)
CPOV (Charlotte… not Peter's Charlotte)
I jolted out of my seat in the audience; this was strange suddenly I was so excited like someone had just set me off. Strange I thought as I made my way up the steps to the stage.
I had never been one of stage fright but suddenly I was scared out of mind. At least I'm in America I thought far, far away from Phil I smiled at that thought knowing he couldn't bother me from where he was. He couldn't even afford a plane ticket yes I was perfectly safe.
Though at this moment I decided that if I didn't win American Idol I would see to it he would die a slow, painful death… I mean I wouldn't rock climb with him, like I wanted to anyway I sighed grabbing the mic in my hands and began singing.
"A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven." I liked how this song felt, it wasn't a sappy love song but it was filled with love for someone. I thought all songs should be like this, it wasn't straight to the 'I love you always' point but it was a song filled with the meaning of I love you even if you never will. A sad but heartwarming song, I continued singing
"I don't wanna waste the weekend,
If you don't love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it's time to go.
As my train rolls down the East Coast,
I wonder how you'll keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
And still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't take what you don't need from me.
It´s just s drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
And still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don't take what you don't need from me.
It´s just s drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no.
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no.
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
You are my heaven." I finished the song feeling like I gave it my best, how funny it felt to feel so fulfilled. Like I actually wanted to be here in the first place, I wanted to be here to get away from Phil but then suddenly I wanted to be here because I wanted to prove to myself I could do this, what was going on with me today? I wondered as I headed back to my seat as I heard the next name called.
"Bella Swan!" called the only female judge; I turned my head to see a brunette heading up to the stage. I could tell she was nervous by how she shook but suddenly she calmed just like I had, her brown eyes stared out to the audience but I could tell her mind was elsewhere.
BPOV (Bella's)
"Bella Swan!" called out Paula
"You'll do fine love," whispered Edward, I sighed at his perfection.
"Thanks," I said getting up I walked up to the stage nervous until Jasper sent me some calm waves. I made a mental note to thank him later; I really hoped I was going to make it through to the top twenty. Then sighed at the thought this wasn't my dream it was someone else's for some strange reason I was still around.
I bet Edward bribed them into letting me go this far I thought, stupid rich vampire I thought. Still… my eyes were scanning around the audience, my human eyes trying desperately to see through the over head light's glare. I was in love with the stupid rich vampire, somehow I had fallen in love with the most dangerous creature and I didn't care. He was my perfect vampire boyfriend- I mean fiancé I mentally cringed at the dreaded word.
How a word could hold so much meaning for both Edward and I, I would never understand. He adored the word, I dreaded it. I didn't want to be that girl, the one who graduates from high school then gets married to her high school sweet heart, I could hear people talking. Saying to each other "the chiefs' daughter is up to no good with that Cullen boy," but Edward saw nothing wrong with getting hitched so soon.
I pushed my mind off the thought and grabbed the mic off the stand and began singing. This time I had put more thought into my song, I had put all the passion I could muster up into it. I really wanted to win it, though I was guessing it was Jasper who was doing this, not me but this song was as close to me as I could be at this moment.
"Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning goodbye
Down inside, you know we never know why
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do
With you eternally mine
In love there is no measure of time
We planned it all at the start
You and I live in each others heart
We may be oceans away
You'll feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do
I am a woman in love
And I'm talking to you
You know I know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again," I finished and headed off the stage.
"How was I?" I asked Edward as I sat back down next to him feeling whole once more.
"Perfect," Edward said
I smiled up at my angel, "it's true," I said "I'm a woman in love."
"Hey Rosalie why didn't you sing a song for me? Even Jasper sang a song specifically for Alice," Emmett complained.
Rosalie rolled her eyes, "why doesn't Edward sing you a love song," she suggested.
I covered my mouth trying not to laugh no use, as I began laughing so hard my sides hurt.
"Sorry Rose but it just won't have the same meaning," Emmett said, obviously not getting it was a joke.
"I wasn't being serous you dummy," Rosalie said whacking the back of his head for some reason she seemed in a better mood.
"Oh," Emmett said in realization
Everyone except Emmett joined in on my laughter as we exited the auditorium while the judges contemplated our fates.

I turned to the camera, "Now the judges will contemplate the fates of Rosalie, Jasper, Julia, Charlotte, and Bella," I said.
Me: So who do you think will leave?
Ryan: I don't know, wait where am I?
Me: With the rest of the characters of this fic, *evil grin* all under my control
Alice: Don't you mean the reviewers control?
Bella: Alice! *gives Alice a hug*
Emmett: hugging time! *joins hug*
Bella: Emmett-can't-breathe!
Emmett: oh sorry… *let's go of Bella*
Bella: *panting*
Edward: Stay away from her she's fragile *glares at Emmett*
Emmett: *rolls up sleeves* let's do this
Me: Guys stop! Let's all together tell the reviewers why they should vote for you, Rosalie you first.
Rosalie: *clears throat* apart from the obvious
Everyone except Rosalie: *rolls eyes*
Rosalie: What?! I'm pretty, I can be vain. Anyway I have the best voice here
Jasper: Ugh Rosalie
Me: it's actually true
Everyone: whose side are you on?
Me: *crawls into corner* umm…no ones?
Jasper: OK I'll be the voice of reason and say why I should be kept, I'll make the competition more interesting *mischief smile*
Everyone except Alice: umm… OK…
Julia: vote for me because I make the show more diverse which means more money and I like bugging Simon.
Charlotte: vote for me and you can play with my dog Blaze if not monkeys will hurt you tonight
Me: ???.....
Julia and Charlotte: What? It wasn't us it was you; you're the one who has issues
Me: True, maybe I should talk to Paula... Bella?
Bella: I don't know, just vote for whoever you want just as long as I'm with Edward
All: Aww…
A/N: enough of my weirdness, well that was the first time I did that and I did a lot of OOC stuff but oh well. R&R to vote please cherries on top and Edward Cullen. That should get my reviewers to review.
