I've spent two more weeks on tour and it's completely killing my soul not to run to Georgia and pray Edward will see me. I talked to my dad the next day after his message and was shocked to hear him nudging me to make a move.

Charlie Swan don't want his little girl tied up with nobody, but somehow Edward made an impression and my dad was urging me to "just talk to the boy." And I intend on it, as soon as I can get myself done with this last week of the tour.

Tonight we're in Auburn, Alabama, and I got three more shows to play throughout here and Florida before this tour is done. Alice and Rose are still traveling with me, since Rose is already out of school for the summer.

I'm sitting for my hair and makeup while Alice does some last minute work on her computer over on the couch. Usually her and Rose watch from a couple rows back from the stage, but tonight they're gonna wait back here so we can get on the road as soon as I walk off stage.

We're heading to Destin, Florida to relax for a few days before I gotta do a show in Panama City. Then we're onto Pensacola and back to Mobile, Alabama, to finish up this short tour.

I hear Alice gasp and turn towards her real fast, so fast that I get a big ol' swipe of liquid eyeliner right across my cheek. My makeup artist is having a hissy fit over it.

"What is it, Alice?" I ask her, worried something bad may have happened.

She jerks her head up and locks her eyes on mine. I can't quite decipher her look, but it has me nervous. She looks shocked and terrified and teary at the same time.

She starts stammering. "Uh… um… well …"

I interrupt her. "Just spit it out, Alice. Is it something bad?" I ask, cause I ain't ever heard her at a loss for words.

She just sits there with her mouth hanging open. I get up from the chair, ignoring the makeup artist's objections and walk over to her. "Alice." I snap my fingers in her face. She seems to come alive then. She quickly closes her laptop and stands.

"Bella, go get back in that chair. You've got a show to do. Move it. We'll talk after," she demands, practically shoving me back in my chair.

"Alright, but you swear everything is okay? Nobody's hurt?" I arch my brow to let her know she better tell me the truth.

She looks me in the eye. "I swear that nobody is physically hurt and everybody's okay. Now please just focus on your show."

I trust her so I finish getting ready.

I do love performing for a good crowd and the one tonight is pumped. My newest song reminds me of Edward, so as I sing, I really get into it. I need to get to that man soon.

After the show I'm expecting Alice will have everything ready to go, so I'm surprised when I find her sitting backstage with her laptop. She looks over at me.

"Come 'ere." She pats the seat beside her. "So I checked my email earlier and it was flooded with new messages. I thought something negative had gotten out at first, but when I clicked on one I saw it was a viral video. Every single email I have has a link to that video and fans all over sent it to me."

"Why would my fans send you a link to a viral video?" I ask her, 'cause I'm not understanding what she's trying to tell me.

"Maybe because it's a video to you," she says.

"What do you mean a video to me?" I'm still confused as to why this is important enough for Alice to hold off on us leaving.

"Sweetie, just take a look and you'll understand."

I look at her puzzled, but she just motions to the screen. Alice hits play and at first I hear some God-awful noise that's supposed to be singing. Then the screen comes into focus and I see Edward.

I look from the screen to Alice then back to the screen.

Edward is singing along with an awesome Bryan Adams song, but the poor man can't carry a tune and he's clearly drunk as a skunk.

When I hear him change the word baby to Bella, I can't help but let tears start flowing.

After the song, the screen goes blank for a few seconds and then I see Emmett. His hair's a good bit longer now and he's such a handsome kid.

He starts talking while looking directly into the camera. "Hey, Bella. It's Emmett. I hope you see this. I wanna tell you how sorry I am that I lied to ya. I hope you can forgive me, but even if ya can't, please don't hold it against my brother."

Alice hands me a tissue since I'm a teary, snotty mess.

"He really likes you." He looks around to make sure no one's in the room, then leans real close to the camera. "I actually think he's in love with ya. He ain't been the same since he met ya and then you left. He's a really cool guy and deserves good things and to be happy. So please call him or text him or somethin'. Anyway, I guess I better go for now. Bye." The video stops playing and I just sit there in shock for a moment.

I can't believe this. Not only did Emmett secretly record Edward singing a love song to me, but he apologized to me himself in front of the whole world. I'm in awe of him. He really is a special kid, taking a chance like this for his big brother.

Then I have to wonder if Edward even knows. Doesn't seem like it from the video, and I know how sneaky Emmett can be from personal experience.

I can only hope Edward hasn't given up. There's only one thing left for me to do.

I turn to Alice. "You gotta cancel or reschedule the next stop. I gotta go to him. Please." I stand up and start grabbing my stuff. I see Alice getting her stuff too. "What are you doing? I need you to cancel and I need to get going!"

Alice stops and looks at me with a smirk. "I already cancelled. You have a case of the flu. And no way am I not going with you. You know I'm a sucker for a good romance. Now, girl, get your stuff together and let's go. Rose is waiting in the car."

So… lots of you guessed or came close to what Emmett had planned. And now Bella has seen it and is on her way. We still haven't seen how Edward is going to react though. See you soon…
