Sorry it took so long but here it is!

The next morning I tried to roll over but found that I wasn't able to do so since I was sandwich between Alice and Paul. I looked over Paul's shoulder to look at the alarm clock and shot right out of the bed. "WAKE UP!" Alice jumped from the bed and looked around ready to attack if needed and Paul slowly rose grabbing his head.

"What the fuck B?"

I ripped through the piles of clothes looking for something that 'Ben' could wear. "I have to go the bus leaves in twenty minuets and I am still in Bella mode. Both of them started laughing at me and I shot them my most deadly glare immediately silencing them. "OK Bella, you go wash your face and get you mind in Ben mode while Paul and I find you something to wear." I pulled Alice into a bone crushing hug, "Thank you."

I groaned once in the bathroom, even after my hour long shower last night I still had eyeliner and mascara smudged under my eyes. I grabbed a washcloth and scrubbed until they were bloodshot but there was no makeup. Next on the list was my hair, I styled it so it was wavy but not feminine but since I didn't have faith in my skills at this point I pulled it into a low ponytail.

When I came out of the bathroom both Alice and Paul were dressed for the day and laying out for me was a pair of dark blue 501 Levi jeans, a vintage Pink Floyd shirt, and I rolled my eye when I saw the cowboy boots on the ground. Alice always loved a guy in cowboy boots which explained why she likes Jasper. I used my veto right and tossed the boots back at Alice and Paul laughed as he tossed me my black high top converse.

"I don't understand why you won't wear them." I looked over my shoulder at her but never answered her. Once I was dressed I grabbed my 'Ben' suitcase and Alice grabbed my 'Bella' suitcase. "Ok guys see you in Phoenix?" They both tilted their heads at me as if I was stupid for even asking. I already knew they were gonna be there but I just wanted to make sure. "Whatever I'll see you guys there." They both gave me a quick hug before I left.

When I got to the bus a very happy Jacob welcomed me aboard while Emmett snored loudly from the back. I dropped down into the same seat that I had occupied earlier and put in my headphones. My eyes were closed and my head was leaned up against the window when Edward and Jasper finally climbed onto the bus followed by a grumpy Rose. "I swear if you two don't start getting your shit in order I am quitting this job. Every time we leave a venue you two are the last ones on the bus and you're always late." Jasper jabbed Edward in the ribs, "Sorry Rosie but we can't all sleep on the bus like Emmett."

I shook my head not really wanting to hear about why Emmett sleeps on the bus instead of his room. A half hour into the drive Jasper made his way to the back and I pulled my headphones out of my ears. "Hey, Edward?" He lifted his head from the book he was reading. "Look man, I don't know what happened last night with Bella but she wanted me to tell you thank you for her."

He nodded his head letting me know he heard me but didn't feel the need to expand on what the big mystery was. Instead of going back to his book he put the bookmark in it and pulled out his guitar and his laptop. He strummed a little then stopped to type something on the computer. Eventually he stopped and leaned back with his head phones in nodding along to the music.

"Jazz! Em! Jake! Come out here for a sec."

They all stumbled out of the back of the bus and sat down to listen to whatever Edward had just written in less than an hour. It was a rough draft of course and it would sound different when we were actually playing it but it still sounded great. "I was thinking this would be the music for that song you wrote earlier."

We all looked over to Jasper whose eyes were closed as he absorbed the music. When it came to an end he held his fist out for Edward to bump and they both smiled. "Send it to my e-mail and I will add the lyrics in the appropriate places. Maybe we can practice it when we get to the hotel."

Everyone shrugged and I didn't see a problem with that. After sending the e-mail to Jasper everyone went back to what they were doing. I sent Alice a text letting her know I wouldn't be able to hang out when we get there because of practice. When I went to put my head phones back in Edward stopped me. "She didn't tell you about last night?" I laid down on the couch and looked up at the ceiling, "Nope." He groaned, "OK I'm gonna tell you but don't let her know I told you."

I sat up to show I was listening, "She had two guys hassling her last night and I intervened. She held together pretty good until we were leaving and she broke down. I'm not sure what happened to the guys because someone named Preston took care of them. Alice said he would make sure they got what was coming to them." I nodded my head and tried to act the way I though I big brother would act. After clenching my fist a few times and popping my neck I looked up and thanked Edward for what he did for 'Bella'.

I had just laid back and almost had my second head phone in my ear when suddenly there was yelling coming from the back of the bus. Both Edward and I got up and went back to see what the problem was. Jasper, Jacob and Edward all stood there laughing and when I looked up I wanted to smack them. Rose and Emmett were both naked lying on a small bed. Emmett was trying to shield Rose who was trying to act like she didn't care but I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to die.

I rolled my eyes and smacked the Three Stooges on the back of the head yelling at them to mind their own business. Once the door was closed giving the two privacy, the village idiots looked at me like I had to heads. "What?" Jacob was the one to talk. "You didn't even laugh at it; you have to admit that shit is funny." I placed my hands on my hips but reminded my self not to stand like a girl with attitude. "Dude, I have two sisters that shit ain't funny. If it would have been Jasper and Alice I might have punched you all out. Now go back to what you were doing and leave Rose alone."

Edward slowly backed away before speaking, "You just said Rose so what about Emmett?" I smiled and nodded my head, "Oh hell no he will suffer, but not Rose." Jasper tried to hide and act like he wasn't in a room with me. "And for the record, you will respect Alice." I actually heard him gulp before he nodded.

By the time everyone settled down we were pulling up to the hotel and Rose ran straight past everyone to go get our keys for our rooms. Everyone clapped at Emmett when he came out of the room and he took a bow. Rose gave me my key first and I made a dash for it because I needed to use that bathroom.

Edward caught up to me when we reached the elevator and it turned out he was across the hall from me. "So is your family coming this time?" I tipped my head so I could look at him over the edge of my sunglasses, "Alice and Paul will be, I don't know about Bella." I swear I saw his face drop a little but he quickly recovered. "Alright, well I'll see you at rehearsal in a half hour."

I was surprised when I got in the room and Alice and Paul were waiting for me. It amazed me that Alice seemed to find a way to beat us here. "So can someone please tell me why we only spent one day in Vegas?" I rolled my eyes at Paul and tossed my bags in the corned of the closet. "We only stayed one night because it was a pleasure stop. The guys talked Rose into making the side trip before coming here for the concert. Now if you will excuse me I have to pee before I go to rehersal."

I hope you liked it. Please review!
