When I got home that night from Olympia, I went straight upstairs and threw all the shopping bags on my bed and then I went straight back downstairs to the piano because I had to get the tune that I had been thinking about out of my head. I had been looking out the window of the car watching the hills and forest pass by when the tune popped in my head. As I thought about the tune, Edward popped into my head and the thoughts of him out in the forest that I was watching go by just seemed to fit with the tune. I sat down, closed my eyes and let my fingers run across the keys producing the most beautiful tune I had ever heard. I had no idea what I was going to call it. When I was finished, I just sat there and looked out the window. That is when I heard a sound behind me and I turned to see what it was. It was my dad.

He obviously came in while I was playing and waited until I was done to let me know he was home by clearing his throat. He scared the crap out of me. He asked me about the song I was just playing and I told him how it came to be, minus the Edward part, and that I didn't have a name for it yet. We went into the kitchen and while I heated up his dinner that I had picked up at the diner we talked about the shopping trip, how much I spent, how much I saved him, about his day and about Jake. After all that, I told him that I was going to go and take a shower and then go to bed. I hugged and kissed him good night and I went upstairs.

Before I got in the shower, I went in my room to get my pj's and to turn on my computer, that way it would be completely booted up by the time I got done. I went into the bathroom and just relaxed in a nice hot shower for a little while and just let my mind shut down. That didn't work of course, because the first thing that popped in my head was running into Alice, Rosalie, and Esme at the mall. Then of course after I tried to process all of that Edward came to mind, so I decided to give up on the shower and go check my email. As soon as I entered my room, I could see the email icon flashing. I sat down at my desk and opened up my inbox. I had some emails from my mom, Jake, Jessica, and then the one I had been waiting for, Andy. I immediately opened it up, read it quickly, and then re-read it to make sure I had understood everything. He said that he was looking forward to seeing us, that he would send a car for us and the equipment on the 2nd, and that the bodyguards wouldn't be a problem. Oh good, that will make dad feel a little bit better about all of this. He also said that we would be playing at the Fenix Underground on Saturday and that he would email me in the next few days with all the details. I was ecstatic. I immediately picked up my phone and made a 3 way call to Jessica and Angela. After what seemed like forever, they answered the phone.

"Hello"

"Hello"

"Hey girls, guess what?'

"What?"

"I had an email from Andy and we are all set for next weekend."

"Really?"

"What did he say?"

"He said that we would be going to a club named Fenix Underground to perform, he is sending a car for us and the equipment on the 2nd, and that the bodyguards won't be a problem."

"Awesome, my parents will be happy about that."

"Yeah, mine too. Have you told your dad yet?"

"No, as soon as I got done reading it, I called you two."

"Wow, I can't believe this is really happening. I want to go now."

"Yeah, me too. I can't believe this is really happening either."

"Me either. Well you girls try and get some rest and I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm going to go see if dad is asleep yet."

"Okay, goodnight Bella."

"Goodnight girls."

After we hung up, I got up and went out into the hall and walked down to dad's room. I listened quietly but I didn't hear him snoring. I gently knocked on the door and waited for him to say something. After a few minutes, he called out for me to come in. I opened his door to find him sitting at his desk with his computer on; obviously he was doing some research on those cases he has been working on.

"What's up, Bells? Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah dad, I'm fine. I wanted to come and tell you that I had an email from Andy and the bodyguards aren't going to be a problem."

"Well good that makes me feel a little better."

"I knew it would and I knew that you would be gone when I got up in the morning so I wanted to tell you now."

"I'm glad you did."

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Yes sweetie, I'm fine. These cases are just driving me crazy and I can't get them out of my head so I can go to sleep."

"Do you want me to make you some tea to help you sleep?"

"No, I'll be fine but thanks for the offer. So, what else did he say?"

"He said that the car will be here on the 2nd and that he is going to email me in a few days with the rest of the information."

"Okay, sounds good."

"One more thing that might make you feel better about all of this is that Dr. Cullen and his family is going to be there as well."

"What? How do you know that?"

"Well, remember when I told you that I met his wife and daughters today at the mall, Alice told me that they were going to Seattle for the weekend as well. So see, I will have my doctor there as well."

"Well, that does make feel even better about this trip. Between the bodyguards, Dr. Cullen, and Jake all being there, I can honestly say that I'm not as anxious about you going now."

"I'm so glad to hear you say that."

"You know that I will have to know what hotel you are staying at."

"Yes dad, I will give you all the information as soon as I get it. Now you try and get some sleep."

"I'll try, Bells. Goodnight and I love you."

"Goodnight Dad and I love you too."

The rest of the weekend and the beginning of the next week was complete chaos. Everyone in the band came over every day and we would practice the songs we had decided that we were going to play while we there. The rest of the time we were packing and making sure we had everything we could possibly need. I also had gone down to La Push to help Jake get his stuff together because he was just as excited as the rest of us. I received another email from Andy on Monday with all of the details. He said that the limo and the truck would be here at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday to pick us and the equipment up. The truck was going to take the equipment straight to the club and the limo would be taking us to the Crowne Plaza Hotel, where he would meet us. I immediately called everyone and told them what the email had said and we all decided that everyone would crash at my house Wednesday night since the car would be here so early on Thursday. Dad was thrilled with that idea. He had told me 'Great, just what I need is a house full of teenagers' while he made his grumpy face and I couldn't help but laugh at him. He was trying to be very brave about the whole thing.

Monday evening after everyone had went home, I decided to email Alice. Even with all of this craziness going on, Edward had still been on my mind and I was excited at the thought of seeing him again. I sat down and sent her an email:

Alice,

How are you? Well, I have heard from Andy and here is all of the information. The limo will be picking us up on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. to take us to Seattle. We will be staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and will be performing at the Fenix Underground on Saturday. We will also be going to the club on Friday night as well. We will be returning home on Monday. I hope you and your family is still planning on being there as I would like to see you again. Well, hopefully I will see you in a few days. Have a safe trip.

Bella

I hit the send button with a little apprehension because what if they had changed their minds about going. I so wanted to see all of them again, especially Edward. I was going to get him to relax around me somehow so that we could talk. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I get one back from her. I turned off my computer and opened my window because it was hot in my room and went to bed.

Alice had been bouncing around the house ever since she found out that Bella was going to be in Seattle the same time we were. I, on the other hand, had been worried, nervous and extremely excited about her going to be there. On the one hand, I wanted to talk to her and take her out on a date. On the other hand, I didn't want her involved with me or my family at all because of what we are and it could bring her harm, or so I thought. The rest of my family disagreed with me and they were all in favor of her becoming part of the family.

Alice had seen that Bella was going to be getting an email from Andy. Now she was just waiting for Bella to email her with all of the information. She was positive that she would but I was a little skeptical because Alice can be over powering and she might have scared her off.

I couldn't wait until Seattle to see her again. I needed to be near her, smell her, hear her breathe. So, I decided I would go for a run the night Alice, Rose, and my mom had got back from shopping and had informed all of us about what was going on. I ran straight to her house and when I was a couple of miles away I could hear a melody being played and I wondered where that could be coming from. It was absolutely beautiful. When I got to her house, I could see that she was in the living room and that the music I had heard was coming from her house and she was playing it. I sat in the tree outside the living room window and just watched her play this amazing melody. She looked absolutely beautiful sitting there at the piano. I was mesmerized. I saw some headlights pulling in and figured it was her father. He couldn't see me sitting here, so I just remained still and watched her. He didn't interrupt her when he entered the house; instead he just stood behind her and watched her. He startled her though when he cleared his throat and I thought that was funny. They started to go into the kitchen and I just remained in the tree and listened to their conversation. I loved the sound of her voice. I can only imagine how beautiful it is when she sings. I was excited to hear her and her band play. After they got done talking, she went upstairs to take a shower. I took this time to go and hunt as I wanted to be completely full just in case I smelled her. When I got back to her house, she was in her dad's room talking about the email and she was telling him that we were going to be there as well and this made him feel better. It did me as well because I know what else is in Seattle that others don't know even exist. When they were done talking, she came back into her room and opened up her window and that is when the smell hit me. It was still and always would be the most intoxicating smell to me but I loved it as I loved her. There I finally admitted it to myself, I love her and I want to be with her. When her light went off, I slide down a couple of branches so that I could see into her room. There she was looking like an angel in a deep sleep. I sat there most of the night until I heard her dad get up and I decided I better get back to the house. I took one last glance at my angel and I ran home.

The next few days were excruciating because Bella hadn't emailed Alice yet and every time I tried to go and see her, she was either not home or everyone was at the house. Finally Monday evening, Alice received an email from her with all of the details. So, now that we knew where she would be staying, we could make our reservations and be there when she got there. Alice called the Crowne Plaza Hotel and made sure our rooms were on the same floor as hers. She also started packing all of our clothes and when we tried to tell her that we could do it ourselves, she just laughed. She decided she would email Bella back and tell her that we were still coming and that we were looking forward to hearing her play. I was looking forward to more than that; I just had to get the nerve up to talk to her without looking like a statue.

I managed to sit outside her house on Tuesday night, after everyone had left. I had been in the woods outside of her house for awhile waiting for everyone to leave. As they all came outside, I heard her say that she would see everyone tomorrow night for the sleep over. Great, everyone is going to stay at her house tomorrow so I definitely won't be able to see her tomorrow night. I better make tonight count then. She came upstairs and went to take a shower. While she was in the shower, I got up the nerve and slipped into her room through her window. She had her suitcases lying on the floor by her closet, her computer was turned on and she had her journal open. I was tempted to read it but I would never invade her privacy like that. I couldn't read her mind and that drove me crazy but I figured there was a reason why her thoughts were meant to be kept secret from me and I was going to keep it that way. I jumped out onto my branch when I heard her coming out of the bathroom and again when she opened the door, her scent was blown straight at me and I wanted her. Not in a she's dinner kind of way but in a way that I had never wanted anyone else. She got into the bed and immediately fell asleep and I just sat and watched her. When I knew she was in a deep sleep, I crept back into her window and walked over to her. I knelt down beside her bed and I just stared at her face. I reached out and gently rubbed my hand on her cheek and she stirred a little but didn't awaken. She was so warm and soft. I wanted nothing more than to lie down beside her and hold her. But instead, I just sat there on the floor beside her bed watching her sleep. When I heard her dad getting up, I touched her cheek one last time and I jumped out of her window. That was going to be the last time I saw her until we were all in Seattle and hopefully if all went well, I would be spending a lot more time with her. With one last glance at the house, I turned and ran for home.

When I got up Tuesday morning, I realized that in two days I would be on my way to making all of my dreams come true and that made me feel excited and nervous at the same time. I was hopefully going to be making my career come true and would hopefully be in a relationship by the time I got back. I got out of bed, turned on my computer, and went downstairs to get some Dr. Pepper and a pop tart. When I got back to my room, I saw that I had an email, so I opened my inbox and there sat a reply from Alice. My heart started to race as I opened it up.

Bella,

I am doing well. I was so glad to receive your email. Thanks for emailing me the information for your trip. The Crowne Plaza Hotel is the same hotel we always stay at. You will love it. The Fenix Underground is a great nightclub. We are excited about seeing you again and can't wait to hear you perform. We will be arriving Wednesday night because dad has some kind of conference Thursday morning. See you in a couple of days.

Alice

I read it twice because I just wanted to make sure that it was true that they would be there. I couldn't believe that they would be at the same hotel. It was like fate was pushing us together. I decided I would go and see Jake for a while and make sure he had everything before the others came over for another practice. Jake had been just as excited as the rest of us about this trip. By the time I got home, practiced with the band, and spent some time with dad, I was exhausted. As soon as I got out of the shower and lay down, I was asleep. I remember that sometime in the night, I had felt a chill but it didn't last long. When I woke up Wednesday morning, it was raining. Great, of all days it had to rain today. I had so much to do today and with it raining it was going to slow me down. I ate some breakfast and got ready to go to the store. Dad was going to need some groceries for while I was gone and I was going to cook him up a few things that way all he had to do was heat it up in the microwave. I knew he wouldn't be able to screw that up. When I got back from the store, Jake was sitting on the porch with his bags. Damn, he is early but I'm glad he is here because he can help carry in these bags.

"Hey Jake, you're early." I called out to him as I ran up to the porch.

"Yeah, dad said I was getting on his nerves, so he went ahead a brought me up. Is that okay?"

"Sure sure, come help me get these bags in." I told him as I began to go back out to the truck.

"Damn Bella, he wasn't going to starve to death in 5 days." He said as he saw all the bags I had in the truck.

"I know that, I just wanted to make sure he had enough just in case some of the guys decided to come over for the games on TV this weekend." I tell him as we carried the last of them into the kitchen.

"I got ya. So, what time is everyone else going to be here?" He asked as he helped me put the groceries away.

"Everyone should be here by 3:00 p.m. and then we are going to get all of the equipment packed up. So I guess it is a good thing you are here so early." I said laughing at the face he was making.

We talked while I made some dinners for my dad. At 3:00 on the dot the doorbell rang and everyone was at the house. We had the best time getting everything ready and just talking. When dad got home and walked into the house, he looked at all of us and just shook his head. We all started laughing at him. We stayed up until 1:00 a.m. and then dad made us all go to bed because we had to get up early. He was taking the morning off so that he could see us off. He made the girls sleep upstairs in my room and the boys had to stay downstairs. He was always looking out for all of us.

We got up at 8:00 a.m. Thursday morning, so that I could spend some time with dad and to make sure we had everything ready and waiting for when the car and truck got here. Dad and I went out onto the porch and just sat on the swing for a little while.

"Now Bells, I want you to be extremely careful while you are there. If you start feeling weird or having any kind of problems, you go and find Dr. Cullen and then you call me."

"I will dad. I'm going to be fine."

"Do you still have that credit card I gave you?"

"Yes, I still have it. Do you want it back?"

"No, I want you to keep it. It is for emergencies and for your shopping sprees while you are there."

"Thanks dad. I love you."

"I love you too."

At 10:00 a.m. on the dot, the doorbell rang and we all started to jump up. I told all of them to calm down. I went and answered the door. There in front of me stood the biggest guy I had ever seen. The muscles on his arms were huge and so was his chest. He was very handsome as well and he had tattoos on his arms. The other guy behind him wasn't as big as him but he was still intimidating. He had long hair, dark skin, and a sly smile on his face.

"Miss Swan?"

"Yes, I'm Miss Swan."

"I'm James and this is Laurent. We will be driving you to Seattle and we will also be your bodyguards while you are there."

"Nice to meet you both, please call me Bella and won't you come in."

"Dad, this James and Laurent, they will be the bodyguards that will be with us at all times."

"Nice to meet you both, now you two be sure to take care of her and the rest of them or you will have to answer to me."

"Nice to meet you, Chief Swan and we will guard them with our life."

"Bella, are you all ready to go?"

"Yes, the luggage is there by the door and the music equipment is in the garage."

"We will get it all loaded and then we will come back to get all of you."

While they were loading the car and the truck, I told my dad goodbye and gave him a hug and kiss. He told the others goodbye as well. James came back in a few minutes later to let us know that they were ready for us. We walked out the door, got into the car and drove off.
