Chapter Five: The Legendary Concert Part Two

Edward's POV

I stood here glumly staring off into space wallowing in guilt. I was dragged here by my family. Why we came to this concert still seems completely pointless, so there was another vegetarian vampire, there is bound to be others in the world.

"Come on Edward, at least try to forget about things and try to have some fun tonight." Alice insisted.

My expression hardened before I raged, "HOW DARE YOU! I WILL NEVER FORGET HER!"

He's always so grumpy now. Emmett's thoughts drifted over. I growled angrily causing the guy next to me to look over with a strange slightly frightened look.

Carlisle sent me a disapproving look before warning me sternly in his thoughts.

The crowd broke out in applause and cheering. I turned and glanced up toward the stage. A beautiful vampire girl appeared from the back and confidently strutted on stage. She swayed her hips as she walked while sporting a dazzling smile showing off her pearly white teeth. Her beautiful auburn hair flowed behind her back in smooth curls. She looked oddly familiar.

"I'm in love with her shoes!" Alice screeched in her usual bubbly tone.

"HELLO PEOPLE OF DENALI! HOW ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?!" The girl's voice was smooth, similar to the sound of beautiful music.

"Alice, what's her name?" I whispered under my breath.

"Izzy Elizabeth."

Turning back to the stage I took in her features. She looked to be turned about the age of 18 or 19. She was tall, slim and had an hourglass figure. She was currently flaunting a very flashy revealing outfit. That she looked amazing in. She is beautiful. Wait? No, only my Bella is beautiful.

"I live for the applause, applause, applause

I live for the applause-plause

Live for the applause-plause

Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me

The applause, applause, applause"

Her voice was music to my ears. I smiled to myself, a real smile. It was my first smile in twenty years. Since we left Forks and Bella behind.

At the end of the song she flinched, if I hadn't been a vampire I would not a have caught it, it wasn't visible to humans. A slight frown appeared but quickly disappeared just as fast.

She began to sing her next song called 'Human'. This should be interesting.

"But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human"

What a joke. This is the most ironic song considering she can't do any of these things. I chuckled ever so slightly hoping my family didn't catch it.

As the last lyrics spilled from her lips, she scanned the crowd staring into the faces of her fans. She glanced over in my direction and did a double take. She stared directly into my golden eyes. Then over at my family. Her expression became serious as a frown tugged at the corners of her mouth which then turned into a grimace. She raised her pale slender hand to her chest. Hunching over slightly, her face contorted into a painful expression. She looked about to double over in pain. Strange.

'Izzy' straightened up and smirked. Then began a speech.

"I would like to discuss something a little more serious for a second. A long time ago, I was left by someone I loved very much and I became very depressed and suicidal. I did get through... most of it. But in that period in my life I wrote a song and I would like to share it with you."

She was left by her mate. Despair and guilt washed over me. Guilt for leaving my mate and despair for losing her. But it was for the best. She needed to live a long happy human life. Something I couldn't give her.

"There's a possibility,

There's a possibility,

All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare.

All I'm gonn' get is gone with your stare.

So tell me when you hear my heart stop

You're the only one who knows.

Tell me when you hear my silence.

There's a possibility I wouldn't know"

Sadness flowed through me. This concert was definitely a bad idea.

Soon the song finished leaving me in a great depression. But that's when she began to sing another song.

"It's sad that memories never die

Just fill your head with why

Then you're caught living a lie again

It's sad that all he ever said

Was that he loved me to death

But then he's gone again

And I was wrong again"

Why must God hate me so much? This is torture.

I'm sorry Edward. My family's thoughts directed towards me.

Each word that was sung pierced through my silent heart each time shattering it over and over.

"Can't you hear me crying

'Cause I need you back

'Cause I'm slowly dying

'Cause I need you bad

But you're gone and never coming back

Gone and not coming back

He's never coming back"

I collapsed to my knees as a strangled sob escaped my lips. My hands trembled as I fumbled to try to not make a scene in front of the humans.

"Shoulda known

The long kiss goodbye

Would bring sadness in my life

Wearing this disguise again

I wish that you would have said

Or lied to me instead

Like a bullet to my head"

My family looked at me with clear pity and sympathy. Jasper continued trying to send me calming waves but I was in a great amount of pain and suffering so he couldn't help me. Another sob wracked my body. I want my Bella.

"And now you're gone and never coming back

Coming back

Ooh he's not coming back"

Emmett and Jasper pulled me up from the ground. I took a few deep breaths in order to calm myself. Jasper's calming waves started to benefit me slightly.

Izzy's eyes glistened with venom tears as she sang the last line and then looked into the crowd once again stopping on my family and I.

Quickly Izzy broke out into a wide grin as she screeched out to the crowd,

"WHAT DID YA THINK!?" The audience around me erupted into loud applause and ear piercing howls.

"TONIGHT IS MY LAST PERFORMANCE FOR MY TOUR! I HAD SO MUCH FUN! I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING! NIGHT!" With her farewell speech she turned around and strut off stage. Last minute she whipped back around and gave the middle finger and stuck her tongue out. She pranced backstage and that ended the show.

Carlisle frowned as he began, "Well we will need to talk to her now. I'm usually against this, but this is important. So Rosalie or Alice will you go sweet talk the stage manager?"

Rosalie smiled and flipped her shiny blonde hair over her shoulder. "I got it."

We snuck down an off limit hallway leading backstage there we saw a middle aged man with black hair slighting graying with age, large blue eyes, broad shoulders and slightly shorter than me.

Rosalie spotted him and pulled her top down slightly revealing some cleavage then walked over seductively. Placing her manicured hand on his shoulder flirtatiously.

"I was wondering if you could do something for me." She purred into his ear.

The man stuttered, "Umm, a-ah. Ehh."

Rosalie began tracing the lines on the manager's arm while pushing her bust together.

"I was wondering," The man's jaw dropped as drool formed at the corners of his mouth.

"My family and I would like to see Izzy Elizabeth. Could you do that for me?" She whispered in a seductive tone which aroused the stage manager. "You see, we already know Izzy, we are the Cullens. It would be great to see her again, I'm sure she would feel the same."

"Umm, tha-that's n-not really eh a-allowed. S-so-rry." Sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Please, for me." Rosalie breathed as she cupped his bright red cheek.

I can't believe I'm watching my sister do this. I internally shuddered.

"Um o-okay. Follow me."

The nervous stage manager led us to a dressing room belonging to Izzy and timidly knocked on the wooden door.

A muffled huff came from inside followed by a "Yes?"

"A group of people wish to see you? Apparently you know each other, the Cullens?"

"Send them in."

Good, she played along. My family thoughts were all very relieved.

The manager opened the door gingerly and allowed us to step instead. Soon after, he disappeared from the cramped dressing room.

Izzy politely smiled at our family as Carlisle cleared his throat and began his speech.

"Sorry, I know we have never met but we came to talk about your diet. We saw you on TV; we haven't met any other vegetarians except our cousins."

Izzy breathed out the air she had been holding in the entire time we had stepped foot in the room. "That's quite alright, I understand. I knew you were not some crazed fans, you smelled like vampire. So what is this discussion of my diet about?" She asked abruptly as she stood up in front of us.

That's when I got a good close up look of her. Her red hair fell in loose ringlets just below her shoulders, she had beautiful gold eyes but surprisingly they seemed lifeless and unhappy. No shine to them. I examined what she was dressed in, ripped jeans which hugged her beautiful curves perfectly, high heeled boots which brought her close to my own height. Then, a very interesting top. I furrowed my brows.

That's when Carlisle started introductions. "Well first we would like to introduce ourselves. I am Carlisle, my wife Esme, and my children, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice and Edward."

Izzy's eyes avoided mine, instead she grimaced. But quickly she recovered and smiled.

"Nice to meet you," You could have fooled me. "I'm Izzy." She spoke in monotone.

"Maybe we should take this discussion somewhere a little more private." Carlisle hesitated, "Our place?"

Izzy frowned looking down at the polished floor. Not response.

"Izzy?"

"Yes, sorry, I would love to come over."

This was going to be a very interesting night.

I hope you liked this chapter for Edward's POV. I got a review from a guest recommending the song 'Jar of Hearts' By Christina Perri to use for this fanfiction. I actually based this story from that song! I love Jar of Hearts! Christina Perri is amazing. I'm going to be saving that song for a later chapter. Thanks for the suggestion though!
