"Oh NO!" I shouted. Tomorrow was the concert and the cookout, well hopefully I could make them both.
"What?" Edward asked worried.
"Sorry, it was nothing, um…let's go look at those songs." I said, and loped to the door to take his hand, and pulled him with me to Alice's room.
BPOV
"Edward!" I screamed looking through all the songs.
"Yeah?" he asked looking through some of the other ones.
"Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were right there." I apologized.
"It's fine." He whispered.
'Oh…ok…Well what I wanted to say was 'There are no pair songs'." I said.
"Oh, well I guess you're right. Just singles. I guess we'll have to take turns then right?" He asked.
"Yeah, that will work." I nodded. That was a better idea for sure.
"Great." He said.
We sat there skimming through all the papers until we finally decided on four, two for him and two for me. I yawned and said I had to go to bed.
"good night love." Edward said, then looked away quickly as if he had done something wrong.
"Night." I replied weakly.
--
"Riley! Wake up sleepy head! Alice called your boss, the concert is in the morning now! So wake up we need to go!" Emmett boomed shaking my bed. I groaned and flipped on the bed.
"NO!" I protested.
"Riley…" he said warningly.
"Fine fine, I'm up." I said, and I flipped my legs out from under the sheets, and got up.
"Um…Riley." Emmett said from the doorway.
"Yeah?" I asked turning to him.
"Your…" He said pointing to me. I forgot I was only wearing a yellow tank top and a pair of green underwear.
"Wow Emmett, you'd think that if you were married to Rosalie that you'd have already seen at least this much of a woman before!" I laughed.
"I don't want to see you!" He cried and through a blanket over me.
"Well s-o-r-r-y!" I said then laughed as he stalked out of the room frustrated. .
"What was wrong with him?" Edward asked approaching my door, stopping in the doorframe.
"Oh, nothing. But I think Emmy is a little prude." I laughed.
"Oh, and why is that?" Edward asked,
:Do you really wanna know?" I asked slowly, I mean you get what you ask for.
"Yeah I want to know why he is blocking his thoughts from me."
"Okay. Well Emmett came in to wake me up, well so I did, and I was wearing my pajamas, and then he freaked out." I said truthfully.
"Is that the reason for the blanket?" He asked curiously.
"Yeah." I admitted.
"Now, I'm curious," He said honestly.
"It's no big deal." I said and let the blanket fall down. His eyes widened and almost immediately the blanket was wrapped around me again.
"Wow…you too." I said laughing.
"Just get dressed." He muttered.
What did you think I was doing?" I asked as he walked away.
In the end I just threw on a red and black plaid skirt, a black tank top, and a red tie. I had one glove that came up to my elbow on one arm, and the other arm had the other glove that I had trimmed to come to my wrist, and I had many many black bangles and bracelets. I was so punk. Then Edward came in wearing black jeans, and a black tight shirt with some design, and a pair of grey armings. (Like gloves, but gloves didn't sound manly..lol)
"You ready?" He asked.
"If you are." I said.
"Alright, let's go!" he said.
"We all loaded into to the van. When we arrived we introduced our band as Radical Mayhem, and I got right into my first song.
"Hey guys! I've lost a few people important to me recently, so this one is called 'Someone's watching over me'!"
"Found myself
today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me
back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're
not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in
the sky tonight
I miss you so much Aiden…Sam!
So
I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life
turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes
wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's
watching over me
I know you are!
Seen
that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all
the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking
me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To
this moment to my dreams
This one goes out to you guys!!
So
I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life
turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes
wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's
watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it
doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll
fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to
yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up
No I
won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I
will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in
the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't
break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be
strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the
dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's
watching over me
Someone's watching over me"
I felt a pair of arms hug me on stage, as the tears fell, and the applause was amazing. Loud and sympathetic, they were sharing my pain.
"Thank you!" I said into the mike.
Then Ed took the mike.
"This is called "Sunsets, and Car Crashes, and it goes out to the girl I love!"
EPOV
It was my turn to sing now, I had chosen this song for my Bella, to tell her how I felt about her, even though I wonder if she'd ever remember again. The first notes began and I press the mike to my mouth.
"I
see a sense of wonder deep inside your eyes
As we're sparkling
and twirling in the twilight
And after three long years, I think
that we both need this
So we seal the deal in the parking lot
with a kiss
Bella…my Bella.
And
in case you
And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset
to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you
sweetly retire as stars chase you away
It was the darkness that chased you away from me…it was me.
I'd collapse to the grass, with your notes ringing in my head
Let the rain fill my mouth, and in a couple hours I'll be dead
But all the while my lips are whistling our tune
But the
beauty lies in how you will revive me soon
I hoped that you could save me Bella, I wish it were that easy to end my existence.
And
in case you, and in case you
And in case you were wondering, you
are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end
my day
And you sweetly retire as the stars chase you away
I smiled as I sung, this was supposed to be a happy song.
And
in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me
You're
all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire
as the stars chase you away
And in case you were wondering,
you are like a hurricane to me
Your violence is beautiful, and
your center sweet
Now tell me this, do you know how we'd meet?
And in case you were wondering, you are everything to me (to me)"
I closed my eyes as I sung the last notes, and I was ready to open them. Bella walked up to me and gave me a brief hug, and whispered into my ear so that only I could hear. "I hope you can get her back." She said. So ironic, I almost died.
"Ok guys, that was Edward! Isn't he amazing!?" The crowed roared back and she smiled at me. "Alright time for an upbeat song! This one I think you'll like better!" She cried, the music picked up, and she started to sing, I just watched her as she swayed across the stage dancing, and hopping around in the most alluring outfit I ever saw.
I started to pay attention to what she was singing.
"Just
talk yourself up...
And tear yourself down.
You've hit your one
wall...
Now find a way around.
Well, what's the problem?
You've
got a lot of nerve!
So what did you think I would say?
No,
you can't run away, no you can't run away.
So what'd you think I
would say?
No, you can't run away, No you can't run away.
You
wouldn't.
I never wanted to say this...
You never wanted to
stay.
I put my faith in you, so much faith,
And then you just
threw it away.
You threw it away.
I know, I must have destroyed you…
I'm
not so naïve.
My sorry eyes can see...
The way you fight
shy,
Of almost everything.
Well, if you give up...
You'll
get what you deserve.
So what did you think I would say?
No,
you can't run away, No you can't run away.
So what did you think I
would say?
No, you can't run away, No you can't run away
You
wouldn't
I'm sorry, I did run away.
I
never wanted to say this...
You never wanted to stay.
I put my
faith in you, so much faith,
And then you just threw it away.
You
threw it away.
You were finished long before
We had even
seen the start.
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight
with your bare hands about it now.
Was she talking to me?
I
never wanted to say this. (say this)
You never wanted to stay,
well did you?
I put my faith in you, so much faith,
And then
you just threw it away.
I never wanted to say this...
You
never wanted to stay.
I put my faith in you, so much faith,
And
then you just threw it away.
You threw it away now!"
Before I realized it the song was over and she had already introduced my next song, I was too busy staring at her.
"Sorry!" I cried. "Here's my next song, it's called. "So Much"." I said and waited for Emmett and Jasper to pick up the notes to the song.
"How
does it feel to know you're everything I need
The butterflies in
my stomach
They could bring me to my knees
How does it feel
to know you're everything I want
I've got a hard time saying this
So I'll sing it in a song
I'd love to tell you so much Bella. But I just cant now.
Oh
I adore the way you carry yourself
With the grace of a thousand
angels overhead
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt
When
we become one
When we become one
When we become one
When
we become one
How does it feel
How does it feel when we
get locked into a stare?
Please don't come looking for me
When
I get lost in the mess of your hair
How do you feel when
everything you've known
Gets thrown aside
Never fear, my
dear, 'cause we have nothing left to hide
After you had found out everything you were never sacred to be around me, and I was so entangled by you, but your life was thrown aside, wasn't it?
Oh
I adore the way you carry yourself
With the grace of a thousand
angels overhead
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt
I love you.
Hold
on to me girl
If you feel your grip getting loose
Just know
that I'm right next to you
Hold on to me girl
If you feel
your grip getting loose
Just know that I won't let you down
I'll never leave you again, I swear it, even if you never remember who I am, I'll be here.
Well,
I'm ready
Well, I'm ready
I am ready
To run away with you
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
To run
away with me
I'd love to run away with you.
Pack
your things we can leave today
Pack your things we can leave
today
Say our goodbyes and get on the train
Say goodbye
Just
you and I in the sweet unknown
We can just call each other our
home
We could leave so easily.
If
I had to choose a way to die
It'd be with you
In a goosebump
infested embrace
With my overanxious hands cupping your face
In
a goosebump infested embrace
With my overanxious hands cupping
your cherub face
I want to die in your arms Bella, I love to…I love you.
How
does it feel?"
The song ended and Bella snatched up the mike and dismissed us. The curtains closed and I was left on stage, not knowing exactly what I was feeling, but I knew I couldn't let Bella stay with the dogs, never.
I turned around to talk to her about it but she was gone.
"Emmett where did she run to?" I asked him worried.
"She said something like. 'Damn dog having a stupid cook out.' And ran out." He laughed.
"Crap!" I muttered, and ran back to the house. I ran up to my room and shut myself in my room. I needed to figure out what I was going to do. I couldn't let my Bella go. I flipped up and turned on my radio, and he lullaby filled my room. It always helped me think better.
SO what should happen now? Let me know, I don't know what to do now!! EEHHAAA!!
