There is this song. That I can not stop listening to. My dance teacher got it stuck in my head. And also with the new tv show Glee. I can't stop cracking up at Sue when she said "I'm going to buy you a kitty-cat. I'm going to make you fall in love, with that kitty-cat. Then one dark cold night, I will steal into your house, and punch you, in the face."
That was so funny! Okay, back to the story!
Previous: (In Bella's POV)
"Bella! Don't come in the room!" I heard Alice shriek, then a huge crashing sound was here. What was she talking about? I started walking a little bit more forward...
"Bella? Listen to her!" I heard Rosalie say, then she screamed. What was going on in there? I still was walking, a litle bit faster now.
"Bella. Don't even dare." I heard Edward say, then I stopped. If he was saying that, then I must think that it was a very bad thing to go in there.
"Oh, she listens to Eddie, but not us!" I heard Emmett say, then I heard him take a sharp intake of breath followed by 3 people screaming. That's it. I don't care!
I barged into the room, and saw something that shocked me.
There was that Aro vampire, that I remember from when I was 11. There was also Alice's tracker person I remember. Didn't we kill him though?
"BELLA!" I heard everyone shout, then I felt something behind me. I turned invisible, and turned around. I saw a board being swung at me, but it just went right though me. That Aro person just wanted me dead, didn't he?
You could see me now, so that was my chance to kill these people. I started to move, but felt a pain in my back. It turned out that Alice's tracker had kick me where the worst bruise from Charlie was. Yeah, I think I just broke a rib.
Present:
Chapter 28: A Million Dollars
Edward's POV
I could tell that we were all awake, but when I turned my head, I wish I was out concious. There stood Aro, and all those other people. I hated them. I turned over to Alice, which I guess she was in a vision or something.
Once she was done, she looked panicked. I saw Aro smile, and turn towards the door. What were they doing? Who was out there?
"Bella! Don't come into the room." Alice yelled, trying to struggle against the table with, strong grips. BELLA! She better not! Or I swear... And she didn't listen. I could even hear her walking more towards the door. What does she think she's doing?
"Bella? Listen to her!" Rosalie said, but still she didn't listen. More footsteps, this time way closer then the last.
"Bella. Don't even dare." That stopped her. I saw Emmmett drop his jaw in disbeliefe.
"Oh, she listens to Eddie, but not us!" He said, then Jane came out from the corner, shutting him up. He closed his eyes, and started breathing in sharp gasps. When Rosalie, Alice and I started to talk, Jane put her power on us. I just kept picturing where we really were, and that Jane was not doing this to us.
I then saw Bella barge into the room. Alice's tracker dude said something Aro, so fast that it was even hard for me to see it. We saw Aro move to quickly over near Bella, with what looked like a very hard piece of wood.
"BELLA!" We all shouted, and Aro tried to hit her with the board. She dissapeared, but I could sense that she was still in the room. He swung, actually hitting nothing. He looked like he was shocked. I would have been too. She reapeared, then she got hit in the ribs by Alice's stalker, and went down. I saw Jasper actually tampering with Aro's emotions, making him fell sorry.
Jane just stared at him, and he stopped, groaning in pain. Alice put a hand on his shoulder, but he seemed to not notice.
"Just...st-stop..." Bella said from the floor, staring at Jasper and Jane. I wonder why Jane's powers don't work on her. Aro stood over her, crouching down right next to her. His eyes turning even more redder than I have ever seen them.
"Aro, stop!" Carlisle said, running in to fast for any of us to see, throwing him of of Bella. Esme came over to all of us, breaking the chains. I started rubbing my wrists since they were most likely cutting off my circulation.
Carlisle and Aro started fighting, moving very fast. I ran over to Bella, as the rest of them took out either Aro or Alice's tracker. She was still breathing, but was having a hard time doing so. I started checking everywhere, trying to see if there was very bad damamge. It looked like she had 4 broken ribs, and, wow.
"Bella, where did you get all these!" I whispered angrily to her, making her look at me. She looked me in the eyes, then back at Carlisle.
"Charlie..." She said lower than a whisper. That b- "Dad!" She screamed, making my attention go right to Carlisle. He wasn't moving, just lying there, with Aro staring right over him. Jane was by Aro's side in an instant, only making sure he was alright.
Esme actually rammed into both Aro and Jane at the same time, flying them backwards through the 124 walls. Never get Esme mad. Esme, Rosalie and Jasper ran over to Carlisle, while Alice and Emmett ran over to me and Bella. They both crouched down looking at her in pain. She tried to smile, but it looked like even that hurt her. When we turned around again, we saw Aro and Jane running away, with, CARLISLE?
How far were they planning to hurt my family? I didn't like being so helpless. No one does. 'You're right Edward.' Bella thought, touching my arm again. She wasn't looking at me, she was looking at where everyone except for Emmett was now chasing after Aro, Alice's tracker, and Jane. They were never going to catch them.
I said, pulling Bella up into my arms, and started running back towards the school parking lot. I can't believe all of that happend in our school. Looks like we were going to have to move again. Emmett sat with Bella in the back seat as I drove to the hospital hurriedly. I didn't want Bella in pain. Then a thought came to me. I put a hand on her knee that was curled up on the back seat, and just asked her. 'Can Emmett hear you too?'
She looked at me, then had a surprised look on her face. She shook her head no, and I took my hand off of her.
"What do you guys do when your doing that?" Emmett said jokingly, trying to brighten up the mood. Yeah, thanks for trying.
"I don't know actually." Bella said. How could she be saying this if she was in pain? If I was her, I would probably have passed out a couple hours ago.
"Sure you don't..."
When we got to the hospital, we were immediatly greeted by none other than, Charlie Swan. News spreads fast in this town.I forgot about that. He came running up to us, staring at Bella. But I could tell it was a act. People might not know this, but it is easier to read a person's eyes than to listen to what they are saying. His eyes read that he didn't really care about Bella, that he was angry at her. His words were not the same.
"Oh my God, how did this happen?" He said fakely. What kind of father would do that to their own daughter? When he started saying that, Bella froze. She opened her eyes wide, cringing back into my body. I really didn't care about that. I just kept walking by him, following the nurse that had called us in.
I set her down on the bed and watched as they attacked her with needles and IV's and machines. We all knew that Bella didn't like needles. Or blood. Emmett came back in after a number of minutes, telling me what Charlie had said to him. Yeah right.
"Were not giving her up. Not again. We already lost her, I don't think we can lose her again." I said to him, staring at Bella who was now facing us, listening to everything we were saying. All of us heard what the patients outside were saying to parents and doctors. More than 46 percent of the hospital had Cancer, and all of them don't look so good right now. Bella had always hated that. She didn't hate them, she felt bad for them.
Alice and Rosalie came into the room when Bella was asleep, but she woke up soon after that. The doctors said that we could stay as long as we want, and we made up a story about how Carlisle was probably noy going to be here for about 2 weeks. Speaking of him, Rosalie told us that they never found Aro. Esme and Jasper were still looking, searching for any sign of where they went.
Bella jerked up in the bad, looking like she was in a little bit of pain. She didn't care though. She turned towards Alice.
"Alice?" She said hyperly. What just happend here? She came out of a vision, smiling like a mad women.
"Already done." What were they talking about?
Bella's POV *******************
After the Cancer problem, I though of the best way to raise money. I jumped up from the bed, forgetting about my 4 broken ribs and sprained leg. Edward jumped at the sudden movement, but I just looked at Alice.
"Alice?" I asked her. She turned here head, seeing what I was thinking already. When she came out of her vision, she was smiling wider than I have ever seen someone smile.
"Already done." She said, then raced out of the room. I didn't know if this would work. They rest just all looked at me like I was crazy.
"Let's just hope that all of you guys can sing." I stated, getting even weirder looks from Rosalie and Edward, but a smile broke out on Emmett's face.
1 Week Later
It's been about 3 days since I was last in the hospital. They said for me to take it easy, so I am. And were not going that far. We're going somewhere important. Try outs.
Alice said that she can actually see ALL 5 of us at final round, so none of us were nervous. Esme said that she wanted to stay home. Everyone was very depressed since we haven't seen Carlisle, but Aro said that he needs to answer important questions, and that dad would be okay for now.
The plane ride was very long, but it was really fun. Emmett actually got to fly the plain, and actually tried to make it do a loop in the air. Edward and Jasper pulled him away before he could do that though.
Alice and Rosalie kept on talking about what songs we were going to sing, Emmett and Jasper kept trying to actually prank the flight attendents, and me and Edward just talked. School, pain, and about how annoying it is going to be to have random people fighting over us.
We all decided that we weren't going to listen to any other people except for eachother. We weren't going to allow the lies that Hollywood had brake our family apart.
When the plane landed, we were going to go straight to the doors. Once we got there, we had to wait outside. But that wasn't boring. There were over 2.1 million people trying out for "American Idol" and us six were going to try out for it.
As we were waiting outside, we decided that saying we were family was not a good idea. So, we were just going as are regular names, except for me. They said that I could use the 'Cullen' last name. The other names went such as;
Edward Masen
Rosalie Hale
(And Alice was actually going to use her real name, don't ask why.) Mary-Alice Brandon
Jasper Whitlock
Emmett McCarthy
And of course, Bella Cullen.
It took eventually all day to finally get inside the building. We saw so many people crying, and there were cameras everywhere. I think I fainted from all the light flashing, well, that's what Jasper said. Oh. My. Gosh! Emmett was up first! Oh god! This is going to be crazy.
"He's, oh my god. He's, he's...hahaaa!" Alice said, leaning against Rosalie for support. He must have benn singing something weird.
Emmett's POV
After Bella fainted, about 3 minutes after my number was called in. I didn't know what song we were going to sing. There were camera's following me, actually talking to me about song I should pick. Actually, I guess I should have picked a song before I came here.
When I walked in those stupid black doors, I saw the three judges. Randy looked like he was gonna jump out of his seat, Paula had her hand over her mouth, and Simon looked like he was afraid for a moment. I think I'm gonna crack up.
"So, your name is Emmett McCarthy, correct?" Randy said after a moment, snapping out of what ever stage he was in.
"That's right." I said, thinking of songs that I should sing.
"Well welcome. Is there a specific song that your going to sing to us today?" Paula said after saying something to Simon. Well, I could hear them, but the comment wasn't about me.
"Yes." I lied. I could hear Jasper and Edward laughing outside, and Alice filling Bella in on what was happening. Wait, wasn't there a tv outside that showed me in here? I looked around quickly.
"We're waiting." Simon said, and that was it. I picked the last song that Alice sang. I tried to shroten it down a little bit, so it wouldn't be that long. And so they would probably go into shock.
SOS shes in disguise... SOS shes in disguise. Theres a she wolf in disguise. Coming out coming out coming out.
A domesticated girl thats all you ask of me. Darling it is no joke this is lycanthropy. The moon's awake now with eyes wide open. My bodys craving so feed the hungry
Ive been devoting myself to you. Monday to Monday and Friday to Friday. Not getting enough retribution or decent incentives to keep me at it. Im starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office. So Im gonna go somewhere cozy to get me a lover and tell you all about it.
Theres a she wolf in the closet... Open up and set it free... Theres a she wolf in the closet. Let it out so it can breathe.
Once I stopped, I noticed that all of them were out of there seats, actually yelling at the people for not getting me that little yellow paper thing that said, "YOU'RE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!" Well first of all, we're all ready at that place. Now, let's see who is next.
Rosalie's POV
Emmett came out of the room, humming the song of She Wolf to himself. I was up next, so as I walked down the hall, I couldn't stop laughing. I had discussed what song I was going to sing, but now I'm thinking of changing it.
Let me just tell you this. Paula looked jealous because Simon and Randy didn't pay any attention to her. All there attention was on me. Pigs.
"So, Rosalie. What a lovely name," Simon started say, I always hated him. "Let's hear what song were going to hear your lovely voice sing today." Pig. I took in a deep breath, and began singing.
I hopped off the plane at LAX with a a dream and a cardigan. Welcome to the land of fame excess, am I gonna fit in? Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time. Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign. This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous! My tummys turnin and Im feelin kinda homesick, too much pressure and I'm nervous Thats when the taxi man turned on the radio And the Jay-Z song was on. And the Jay-Z song was on. And the Jay-Z song was on!
So I put my hands up, theyre playin my the butterflies fly away, I'm noddin my head like Yeah!
Movin my hips like Yeah!
Got my hands up, theyre playin my song. They know Im gonna be okay Yeah! Its a party in the USA!
Yeah! Its a party in the USA!
When I was done, well, Paula finally let me pass after she got a kiss on the cheek from both men. Awful women she is. I started walking out, wondering who's turn it was this time. When I walked out, I high fived everyone, and they were all cracking up.
"Paula looked like she wanted to kill you Rosie..." Bella said, laughing a little bit. I just rolled my eyes at her playfully, then asked.
"Who's next?"
Alice's POV
"Who's next?" Rosalie asked, and I knew it was me. I started to freak out a little bit, but then remembered that we were all going to pass. This should be fun.
When I walked through the mean black doors that one door didn't open up, Paula, again, looked like she wanted to kill me now instead of Rose. She really was dramatic. And the men were animals.
"So, Mary-Alice," Randy started off, "Alice." I corrected him. That name was getting really weird now, so I needed to keep my cool.
"Okay, Alice. Let's see what your singing today." Simon said, then he got hit in the arm by Paula. I didn't wanna know.
Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.
And I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you.
Tonight.
It's always times like these When I think of you,
And wonder if you ever think of me.
'Cause everything's so wrong And I don't belong.
Livin' in your precious memory.
'Cause I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you.
Tonight.
They made me sing until I was half way done. Well, Simon and Randy said it was enough, but I guess Paula was looking for an excuse for not passing me. Tough luck girl.
The people handed me the same paper that Rosalie and Emmett got, so I skipped out. People were snapping pictures of my family, asking them questions. We were going to have to get used to this. I saighed, then started walking over to them. Next person?
Jasper's POV
Alice came back, so after I gave her a quick hug, I started to get nervous. Yeah right. I wasn't nervous, I just. Okay, Emmett is paying me $1,000,000,000.00 to sing some really random song that he showed me on his MP3 just about 3 minutes ago. This was going to be so weird.
When I walked in, Randy and Simon looked freaked out, but Paula sat up in her seat. "Hello darling, what's your name?" She asked sweetly. A little too sweetly.
"Jasper Whitlock." I said, not even believing that I was about to sing this song.
"When your ready sweetie." She said to me. I wonder what Alice was thinking right now? Anyway, I breathed in, and this is what came out.
When I need a tasty treat, that picks me up, and lifts my off my feet. All I wanna do is just chill with you, but you know what else might be cool. Maybe I can get Frosty with you?
Our temperature's gettin' hot I think the posse's on fire, 'Cause we're so hot I know what can cool us off!
Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty.
Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty Ooh baby Do you wanna get Frosty with me?
Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty Ooh baby Do you wanna get Frosty with me?
Lemme break it down. Hand spun with real coffee girl, just like you like it... Do you wanna get Frosty with me?
Frosty...
I trailed off at the end. These people must think I'm freaks. But Emmett said he would pay up. I just wanted to start cracking up right now at how they responded to this.
"Give him the ticket!" Randy said, lifting his hand up in the air.
"I'd say, that was one of the best performences I've ever seen!" Simon said.
Paula just licked her lips. "Very tasty." Okay...I'm just going to say that was for the song. I walked out of the door with the yellow paper in my hand. Now, Edward is next.
Edward's POV
Emmett just dared me to sing this song. Hey, he said that he would pay me $1,000,000,000 dollars. Plus, he was already giving Jasper the same amount for singing the Wendy's song to them. I can't believe they were going to pass him. Well, now I just can't think of what the will think of me.
I got up, let go of Bella's hand, and started walking away. I have to tell her I love her. It's not even funny any more. I didn't even notice that I was in the room already.
"Ah, Edward Masen. Let's hear what you are going to sing for us..." Paula said... Okay, I'm starting to hate her like I hate Tanya.
I stopped thinking for a second, then just let my mind wander back to the song I had heard about 12 mintues ago.
No burritos just tacos no. No burritos just tacos no. No burritos just tacos no. No burritos just tacos no.

Sorry sir we're out of tacos. Sorry sir we're out of tacos... Sorry sir we're out of tacos. Sorry sir we're out of tacos... Sorry sir we're out of tacos. Sorry sir we're out of tacos.
I already knew what was next. "Boy, grab that ticket, we'll see you in Hollywood!" Paula said. But wait, we were already in Hollywood.
I grabbed the ticket and walked fast to get back to Bella. And the family... I hope she does good. I wonder what she's singing.
Bella's POV
I didn't know what the heck I was going to sing. Something with no swears I can say. Emmett tried to bribe me into singing some random stupid song, for a million dollars. I heard him say the same to Edward and Jasper. Meanies. If any of the 6 of us win this, we all decided that we were going to give the money to charity to help find cures for Cancer.
I walked into the doors, and opened them up. When I walked in, I saw Randy and Simon sit up more, and Paula slouch. What was this show about? How good people were looking?
"So, Isabella Cullen-" "Bella." Simon said but I corrected him. "So, let's hear what you're going to sing...
What is Bella going to sing? Find out, now!

They did the same thing they did to Alice to me. Randy and Simon said that that was enough, but Paula wanted to see if she could get me to crack. I didn't think I was very good, but finally Paula let me go.
I grabbed the yellow ticket, and walked out the doors.
