Bonus Chapter: Concert Of Hearts

Bella POV

I couldn't find the perfect song to sing in the concert that we were planning as a pre-wedding celebration for me and Edward. I smiled; I couldn't wait until I was officially Mrs. Cullen.

Surrounded by my songs, I flipped through pile after pile searching for the right one to sing. I had accumulated many lyrics that I had written myself, along with songs from other artists who I enjoyed. I wanted to sing something that I had written myself-it would make it all the more special.

I couldn't find anything, and I couldn't think of anything off the top of my head. I sighed, moving away from my huge filing system. I was in my music room, and I had always loved to come down here by myself for a while to relax.

The room was bright and spacious, filled with the instruments that I had self taught to myself over the years. As much as I wanted to show Edward my music room, I didn't feel like it was the right time. But I did want to, and he understood that I did need my own privacy from time to time. (1)

Of course, that didn't stop him from pleading with me, but I had stayed firm with my wishes. Sighing, he had willingly complied.

So now I was alone in the room, but I didn't feel the slightest bit of loneliness. The peace was very welcoming.

Filled with new hope, I resumed my search. I closed my eyes and randomly picked a shelf to pull out. I stuck my hand in, and pulled the folder out.

Love Story-By Bella Swan, July 19, 2045. I gasped as I realized that this would be the perfect song. I had written it based off of my love of Romeo and Juliet, and it was perfect.

Smiling to myself, I stood up from the large desk and walked out of the room, turning to look back at the space before closing the lights and walking quietly back out into the corridor.

Clutching the manila folder tightly to my chest, I placed it in my room before I went to look for Kira. She asked me to do a duet with her, claiming that she had found the most perfect song to do. I laughed quietly to myself. Knowing her, she had something crazy up her sleeve.

"Kira!" I called, knocking on the door to her room. The door opened swiftly, and she pulled me in. "Hey Bella! …That took a long time." I laughed at her expression. "I couldn't find the perfect song, Kira. It took me a while to decide."

She shook her head, giving up on making me spill whatever song I had picked. She and I both knew that I wasn't going to tell her.

"Well, what song did you pick out?" I raised my eyebrows at her as she smiled wickedly. I groaned internally to myself. This could not be good.

"Here!" she thrusted another folder towards me, and I caught it before it could meet the floor. I opened the folder, and laughed when I saw what it was. Womanizer-Britney Spears

"You've got to be kidding me Kira! Nathaniel and Edward are not that kind of men! This doesn't fit their descriptions at all." She rolled her eyes at me, punching me lightly in the shoulder. "I know that! But it would be fun! The rhythm rocks."

I gave her an incredulous look. "Fine….but only for you!" She squealed and hugged me. "Thanks Bella! Now get out-your man is waiting!"

I snorted. I knew that Edward had gone out hunting, and it was impossible that he would be back so early. I made him promise to get his fill, because I didn't want him out of my sight for the next few weeks.

"Right, Kira, when I open your door, Edward will be right outside, holding a bouquet of flowers, back from hunting in less than an hour. Ha ha." I rolled my eyes, my tone brimming with sarcasm. She had an evil glint in her eye, before pushing me towards the door. I swear, sometimes she was like Alice. I shivered at the thought of what they could do together.

"You'll see." I shook my head at her and opened the door, closing my eyes and stepping forward. I crashed into something hard and cold.

"Oof." I winced, rubbing my head. I opened my eyes willingly and gasped.

Edward was standing right in front of me, a bouquet of roses in his right hand. He was chuckling, and gave me the flowers. I smiled as I took them.

"Why are you back so early?" I questioned, a little surprised. "I couldn't bear to be away from you any longer."

I rolled my eyes as I heard Kira yell "I told you so!" through the door.

"Well," I said, lacing my hands with his, "I hope you had a good time. 'Cause I'm not going to be letting go of you anytime soon."

"That's what I was hoping for." He took my face in his hands, and kissed me softly on the lips.

Did I already mention that I had the best fiancée in the world? Well, I'm telling you now then.

Cause I do. :D

***

"BELLA! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!" Alice's commanding tone vibrated in my ear. "Yes, Alice….I'll be right over!" I sighed, extracting myself from Edward's arms.

"Don't be gone for long, love." He whispered, before letting me go.

Once I was within Alice's vicinity, she grabbed me and pulled me towards her room. Forcefully, she pushed me in a chair, and before I could realize what was happening, she had redressed me and did my makeup and my hair.

"Okay, done! Now get your butt to the stage-it's staaarrrrtttiiiinnngg!" She sung in her voice. I laughed, patting her on the head and going towards the makeshift stage that had been set up.

I took a good look at myself. She had fit me into a sparkly blue and silver top, pile my hair up on my head with strands that were framing my face, along with huge silver earrings and a cute black miniskirt. I smiled at my reflection-Alice had done a pretty good job. She had framed my eyes with blue eye shadow and purple eyeliner.

Everyone was seated already when I stepped on the stage, so I winked at Edward before picking up the microphone closest to me.

"Hi everyone!" I yelled through the microphone.

"HEY BELLA!" They yelled back. I laughed before continuing.

"Thanks! Well, let's get started with our little concert here. First off, we're going to have Sophia starting with the song Breathless, written by The Corrs!"

I pulled Sophia up to her feet, dragging her up with me. She was shy, but I knew that she had a wonderful voice. I heard her singing to herself a few days ago, so I made sure that she was singing in the concert. We fought over it for quite some time, until I finally got her to surrender.

As she adjusted the microphone to her size, I quickly maneuvered myself behind the drums behind her. Part of the deal was that I had to be on stage with her. I wasn't too sad to agree-I loved playing the drums.

It looked like Sophia was taking a deep breath, and then she turned to me, waiting for her cue. I tapped my drumsticks together, and bobbed my head right before tapping the first drum.

Go on, go on
Leave me breathless
Come on

Her voice was small to start of with, but then she seemed to get braver as the song went on. I adjusted the volume of the drums to fit the volume at which she was singing. I started off with some quiet taps, but as her voice grew, I played the rhythms louder and made them more complex.

The daylight's fading slowly
But time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I'll feel weak
I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it, so

Go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah, come on

She did a small spin, and I nodded my encouragement. I pounded out a quick rhythm to keep her singing. She seemed too nervous to go on.

And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow
It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don't lose it, don't leave it, so

Go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Yeah, come on

The song was almost ending, so I quieted down a little as we neared the last few verses.

And I can't lie
From you I cannot hide
I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it, so

Go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on

After her last note was finished, I play a quick 'tap tap' sound and then, there was applause filling the room. I winked at Sophia and gave her a quick thumbs up.

Twirling her microphone, she held it up to her mouth again. "Next, you're going to get a special treat-Kira and Bella will be singing 'Womanizer' by Britney Spears!"

I smiled and took the microphone from her hands. "To our wonderful men out there, this song has nothing to do with you." There was a feeling of confusion, so I added, "You'll see!"

Edward looked a little pensive, but I knew that he would understand as soon as we started the song.

Kira was already up, and she was going to start off. I slipped a disc that was pre-made into the soundboard and waited for it to start. I was going to be mixing the song as she sang, and she didn't even know about it.

When the first electronic notes came up, she lifted the microphone and sang,

Superstar, where you from, how's it going?

I know you, gotta clue, what you're doing?

You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here

But I know what you are, what you are baby

Look at you, gettin' more than just a re-up

Baby you, got all the puppets with their strings up

Faking like a good one, but I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are, what you are, baby

I jumped in, singing the chorus

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer,
Oh womanizer, oh you're a womanizer, baby
You you you are, you you you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer (womanizer)

I paused for a second, as Kira started.

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

(You) You got me going
(You) You're oh so charming
(You) But I can't do it
(You) You womanizer

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

(You) You say I'm crazy
(You) I got you crazy
(You) You're nothing but a
(You) Womanizer

As she sang through the later part of the chorus, I switched a few knobs and dials on the soundboard so it sounded more electronic. Kira seemed a little surprised, but she tossed the microphone to me right after she finished the last word. I began the next part, switching places with Kira.

Daddy-o, you've got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you, you just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are, that's just who you are, baby

Lollipop, you must mistake me, you're the sucker
To think that I, would be a victim, not another
Say it, player, how you want it
But no way I'm never gonna fall for you, never you, baby

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer,
Oh womanizer, oh you're a womanizer, baby
You you you are, you you you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer (womanizer)

I caught Edward's eye as I was singing, and he was smiling. He definitely knew that I wasn't singing about him, but I could tell he was enjoying it by looking at his *cough* lower regions.

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

(You) You got me going
(You) You're oh so charming
(You) But I can't do it
(You) You womanizer

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

(You) You say I'm crazy
(You) I got your crazy
(You) You're nothing but a
(You) Womanizer

Kira took over, while I switched the dials back to how they were before.

Maybe if we both lived in a different world (womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, womanizer)
Yeah
It would be all good and maybe I could be your girl
But I can't cause we don't, you

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer,
Oh womanizer, oh you're a womanizer, baby
You you you are, you you you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer (womanizer)

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

(You) You got me going
(You) You're oh so charming
(You) But I can't do it
(You) You womanizer

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

(You) You say I'm crazy
(You) I got your crazy
(You) You're nothing but a
(You) Womanizer

Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are
Boy don't try to front
I (I) know just (just) what you are-are-are

Womanizer, woman-womanizer, you're a womanizer,
Oh womanizer, oh you're a womanizer, baby
(YEAH)

We finished the last line together, as the others began to clap.

"Thank you everyone!" I yelled, as I discreetly gestured for Nathaniel to come up. "Next up, we have Nathaniel, singing 'Crush' by David Archuleta! Take it away, Nate!"

I tossed him the mike, and I gave Kira the sheet music as she slid onto the piano bench behind him. It was a lovely black Kawai (2), with gold lettering and a smooth, glossy surface. I didn't miss the look she gave him as she glanced once at him, with the brightest smile I had ever seen on her face.

Oooh, Whoa, Whoa, Ooh, Ooh, Whoa, Whoa

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
it was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Nathaniel's voice was very lovely, soft, and smooth. But it paled in comparison to Edward's soothing velvet voice. I smiled as I felt his arms wrap around me from behind, while he whispered "I love you" into my ear.

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away, going away

Has it ever crossed your mind
When were hangin, spending time girl,
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, And Ever

I smiled at the lyrics. He had really picked out a good song.

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away, going away

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Kira was smiling, a large, silly grin on her face as she played the last passage. I grabbed my mike, preparing for when he would finish.

Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away
This crush aint going away
Going away
Going away
Going away
Going away
Going away

The last chords of the song faded into silence, and there was a deafening roar of applause afterwards. "Those two are perfect together." I said, mostly to myself. But Edward just smiled into my neck.

"Alright! Bella, get up here! We all want to hear the song that you've picked!" Kira literally screamed into the mike. She was so loud that there were vampires cringing all around us, due to our supersensitive hearing. Even Edwards shuddered.

I pushed myself out of Edward's arms and took the stairs up onto the stage. Picking up my beloved guitar, I set it up near the center of the stage, being careful not to bang into any of the other instruments.

Finally, I got the music stand up in front of me and swallowed. It would be the first time anyone had heard this one.

I cleared my throat and strummed a quick chord before I began.

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights,
See the party the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did i know

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And i was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and i said

I was raising my voice as I sang, not even noticing the people in the audience. It felt like me and Edward were the only people there. The strumming of my guitar brought me back to the present.

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes

So i sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Lets escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo i was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and i said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all theres left to do is run
You be the prince and i'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes

I opened my eyes, gauging Edward's reaction. He was smiling brightly, and by the look on his face, he was only seeing me in the room. I smiled at the thought.

Romeo save me, they're tryin to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but its real
Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes,

Oh, Oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When i met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me i've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, i don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and thats all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby just say yes

I strummed the next measures carefully; the song was coming to an end, and I wanted it to sound perfect.

Oh,Oh,Yes
We were both young when i first saw you

There was a silence that filled the air. I carefully opened one eye after the next, not sure of what I would find.

Everyone was staring in shock at me, some of their jaws hanging.

Edward was the first to start clapping, and when everyone finally snapped out of it, they began clapping also.

"Thanks everyone! Next up, we have our lovely Desha, singing 'Why Do I Do' by Jump 5!" I turned around and tossed the microphone to Desha, who caught it and was on the stage within a matter of seconds. Everyone laughed at the exuberant look on her face.

She didn't waste her time and got started immediately-I stumbled with the electric guitar in my haste to keep up with her.

Why do I do the things I do
Sometimes I feel like I am so insecure
If I could learn a thing or two from you
Then popular opinion I could ignore

You are enough for me
I don't need anything but you (ya)
You are enough for me
And I don't need anything

[Chorus:]
Cause you have given me more that I can ask for
More that I can ever imagine
And you keep giving me love you keep on lifting me up
It doesn't get any better

Why do I do the things I do
Thought everyday is showing me something new
I need to slow down need to learn from you
Cause your the only one I should listen to

You are enough for me
I don't need anything but you (ya)
You are enough for me
And I don't need anything

[Chorus:]
Cause you have given me more that I can ask for
More that I can ever imagine
And you keep giving me love you keep on lifting me up
It doesn't get any better

Lord you show me how
To do it life as it comes around
Even when I'm down
I can count on you to help me stand my ground

Cause you have given me more that I could ask for
More than I could ever imagine
And you keep giving me love you keep on lifting me up
It doesn't get any better

You keep giving me love
You keep lifting me up
You keep giving me love
You keep lifting me up
You keep giving me love
You keep lifting me up
You keep giving me love
You keep lifting me up [fades]

I was exhausted when I finished the song with Desha. She didn't give me any time to take a break, or any time to even think. Well, that was Desha. Always rushing forward.

"Next up is our dear Ginger, with 'So What' by P!nk!" She yelled, in a voice that could have rivaled Kira's.

Ginger's flaming hair was dancing as she jumped onto the stage, and I cringed away from their energy. I gave Desha my electric guitar, not wanting to rush through another song again.

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

I guess i just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (Nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

Uh, check my flow, uh

The waiter just took my table
And gave to Jessica Simp - Shit!
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
Then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
He's gonna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
We're all gonna get in a fight!

You weren't there
You never were
You want it all
But that's not fair

You weren't there
You let me fall

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done (we're done)
I'm gonna show you tonight

And you're a tool
So so what?

I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

Ba da da da da da

My head was spinning by the time they were done. I suddenly slumped, feeling even more tired then I had. Something told me that there was something waiting to happen, but I tried to push it to the back of my mind.

Edward held me up, and hummed my lullaby in his ears. Before I knew it, Rosalie had already done 'Piece of Me' and Alice was finishing up with 'Barbie Girl'.

Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again,
hit the town, fool around, let's go party
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-ah-yeah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(uu-oooh-u)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(Ah-ah-ah-yeah)
Come on Barbie, let's go party!
(uu-oooh-u)

I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
you can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

I clapped with everyone, feeling my energy come back to me slowly. I smiled as Kira went up by herself, to do my personal favorite-Lucky. I had written it only a few years ago.

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

[CHORUS:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

"Best actress, and the winner is…Lucky!"
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky"
"Oh my god…here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night? Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

[CHORUS:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night

"Best actress, and the winner is…Lucky!"
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky"
"Oh my god…here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?

I felt like crying at the moment. Kira had been a Hollywood star before she had been changed. But she told me that it was nothing she loved, because she never wanted to be a star. It was something her mother and friends had molded her into.

I was surprised when Edward moved out of my arms, but then I saw him walking up the stairs to get the mike out of Kira's hands. He winked at me before singing, and I swear, his voice almost made me faint.

Ooh
It's something about
Just something about
The way she move
I can't figure it out
There's something
About her

Say ooh
There's something
About kinda women

But don't need you

That's why I love her
Miss independent
Ooh

Yeah, yeahhh

Her favorite thing
Is to say
Don't worry I got it
And everything she got
Best believe
She bought it
She gon steal my heart
Ain't no doubt about it
Girl
Your everything I need
Said your everything
I need
[chorus]
She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss independent
Wont you come
And spend a little time
She got her own thing
That's why I love her
Miss independent
Ooh the way you shine
Miss independent Miss independent
That's why I love her

I had to hold onto Sophia who was standing by me the entire time as Edward sang. His voice just made me weak at the knees, and I almost collapsed when he finished as he stared into my eyes and smiled his crooked grin. I motioned for him to stay on the stage, as I ran up the stairs, stumbling on the last step. Just like always, he moved forward fast enough to catch me, and everyone around us laughed. If I could have blushed, I would have.

I turned on the music that I was planning to play, and gave Edward a small index card with the lyrics.

(Bella): mia haha,mia hee,,mia,hoo,nia haha
You're gonna be a shining star, in fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far,
Cause everyone knows, just who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
Your steady chasing that paper,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
You got no time for no hata's
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Cause I'm a paper chaser,
Just living my life (Ay!), my life (Oh!), my life (Ay!), my life(Oh!),
just living my life (Ay!), my life (Oh!), my life (Ay!), my life(Oh!),
just living my life

Nevermind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away.
Amazing they ungreatful after all the game I gave away.
Safe to say I paved the way, for you cats to get paid today.
You still be wasting days away, nah had I never saved the day.
Consider them my protégé, how much I think they should pay.
Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way.
I never been a hater still I love them in crazy way.
Some say they so gay they couldn't even work on Labor day.
It aint that they black or white, their in an area of shades of grey.
I'm West side anyway, even if I left today and stayed away.
Some move away to make a way not move away cause they afraid.
I go back to the hood and all you ever did was take away.
I pray for patience but they make me want to melt they face away.
Like I once made them spray, now I could make them plead their case away.
Been thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break.
you'd rather see me catch a case, and watch my future fade away.

You're gonna be a shining star, in fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars.
And then you'll see, you're gonna go far,
Cause everyone knows, just who you are-are.
So live your life, ay ay ay.
Your steady chasing that paper,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
You got no time for no hata's
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
No telling where it'll take ya,
Just live your life (Oh!), ay ay ay.
Cause I'm a paper chaser,
Just living my life (Ay!), my life (Oh!), my life (Ay!), my life(Oh!),
just living my life (Ay!), my life (Oh!), my life (Ay!), my life(Oh!),
just living my life

(Edward):
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculate and positive with the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid.
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics.
Articulate but still would grab a nigga by the collar quick.
Whoever had problems, they reconsile they just holla 'tip.
If that don't work and just fails, then turn around and follow 'tip.
I got love for the game but ay, I'm not in love with all of it.
I do without the fame and the rappers nowadays are counterfeit.
The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the argueing.
Where you from, who you know, what you make and what kind of car you in.
Seems as though you lost sight of whats important when depositing those checks into your bank account, and you're up out of poverty.
Your values are a disarray, prioritizing horribly.
Unhappy with the riches cause you piss-poor moraly.
Ignoring all prior advice and fore warning.
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren't we?

When we finished the song, I laughed out loud, grabbing Edward by the shoulders. It was so unlike what we could ever sing, and it was so fun to do it with the person I loved the most.

I think everyone took that as a shock, because after we started cracking up, they all followed after.

Emmett stepped up afterwards, and I was curious to see what he would sing.

Surprisingly, he sang Nickelback.

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up 'til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with

You can't give up,
when your looking for
A diamond in the rough
cuz you never know
When it shows up,
make sure you're holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh

Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know there not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
(what your looking for)
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
(you never know)
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
(start holding on)
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Again, I felt like crying. He was proclaiming his love for Rosalie, about how he felt before he met her. I didn't know that the often bumbling idiot could be so deep once in a while. By the expression on Rose's face, I bet that she was thinking the same thing.

Jasper was next, and everyone laughed when he chose a song by 'N Sync (3). But still, the lyrics were very sweet.

You'll never know
What you've done for me
What your faith in me
Has done for my soul...

You'll never know
The gift you've given me..
I'll carry it with me (yeah...yeah...)

Through the days ahead
I think of days before
You made me hope for something better (yes you did)
And made me reach for something more

You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside
Help me hear the music of my heart
Help me hear the music of my heart
You've opened my eyes
You've opened the door
To something I've never known before
And your love...
(love)
Is the music of my heart.. (music of my heart)

You were the one
Always on my side (always on my side)
Always standing by (always standing by)
Seeing me through

You were the song that always made me sing
I'm singing this for you (singing this for you baby)

Everywhere I go
I think of where I've been (think of where I've been)
And of the one who knew me better
Than anyone ever will again

You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside
Help me hear the music of my heart
Help me hear the music of my heart
You've opened my eyes
You've opened the door (you opened the door)
To something I've never known before...
And your love...(your love)
Is the music of my heart

What you taught me
Only your love could ever teach me
You got through when no one could reach me
Ohh...ohh...ohh

Cause you always saw in me
All the best that I could be
It was you who set me free...

You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside (me inside)
Help me hear the music of my heart
Help me hear the music of my heart

You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside (me inside)
Help me hear the music of my heart (music of my heart)
Help me hear the music of my heart
You've opened my eyes
You've opened the door (opened the door)
To something I've never known before (never, never, felt before)
And your love...
Is the music of my heart..

Music of my heart
Music of my heart
Is the music of my heart...

Alice jumped into Jasper's arms right after he was done, almost knocking him over with the force. I turned my face away to give them some privacy. But Edward had different plans.

He kissed me, long and hard. I crushed myself against him even more, delighting in the taste of him lips.

I didn't know how much time had passed, before I heard Alice's voice.

"Now, if Bella and Edward could please detach their lips from each other, we can get started with the next song!" I pulled away from Edward quickly, feeling extremely embarrassed. Edward even looked like he could blush if he could.

"That's better. Rosalie, get up here!"

The song they chose, 'Shut Up And Let Me Go!" was very entertaining, by the Ting Tings.

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met

Now oh so easily your over me
Gone is love
It's you that ought to be holding me
I'm not containable
This turns up
It's not sustainable

I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, but I can't show
for the last time you had me
Not Shut up and let me go!
For fear of leaving in regret
I changed this one when we first met

Now oh so easily your over me
Gone is love
It's me that ought to be moving on
You're not adorable
I was something unignorable.

I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't Fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Oh love, hold this.
hey

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I told you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now Shut up and let me go
Hey!

It was a fun song, and we weren't fazed by the lyrics. It was a very energetic song, and I loved the instrumental parts.

Next up, it seemed like Edward, Emmett, and Jasper had a song to do. Although it was by the Jonas Brothers, I didn't mind-because Edward was singing.

Edward:

I'm hot, you're cold
You go around like you know
Who I am, but you don't
You got me on my toes

I'm slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby who turn the temperature hotter
Cause I'm burning up, burning up
For you baby

Come on girl

I fell (I fell) so fast (so fast)
Can't hold myself back
High heels (high heels) red dress (red dress)
all by yourself
Gotta catch my breath

I'm slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby who turn the temperature hotter
Cause I'm burning up, burning up
For you baby

Jasper:
Walk in the room
All I can see is you
Staring me down
I know you feel it too

I'm slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby who turn the temperature hotter
Cause I'm burning up, burning up
For you baby

Slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby who turn the temperature hotter
Cause I'm burning up, burning up
For you baby

Emmett:
Burning up in this place tonight
Brother sing it loud (and we're feeling it right)
Get up and dance, don't try and fight it
Big rob is for real (and that's no lie)
Stop drop and roll (and touch the floor)
To keep from burning up (more and more)
Got E. J. with me, playing it down
Come on boys, let's bring the chorus around

Edward:

slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby who turn the temperature hotter
Cause I'm burning up, burning up
For you baby

Burning up, burning up, for you baby

The song was done nicely. Edward did the best, however maybe I was biased on that standpoint. Emmett did a hilarious 'Big Rob', and I laughed slightly when he put on a deep voice, even deeper than his already was.

Me and the Principessas stood up, and I was excited.

"This is the last song for the evening! Thanks so much for listening!"

Bella:

Boys call you sexy [What's up, sexy?]
And you don't care what they say
See everytime you turn around
They're screaming your name

Boys call you sexy
And you don't care what they say
See everytime you turn around
They're screaming your name

Now I've got a confession [ha, ha, ha, ha]
When I was young, I wanted attention [ha, ha, ha, ha]
And I promised myself that I'd do anything [ha, ha, ha, ha]
Anything at all for them to notice me [ha, ha, ha, ha]

Kira:
But I ain't complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say
What you wanna say

You don't know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies

Desha:
When I grow up, be on TV
People know me, be on magazines
When I grow up, fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

They used to tell me I was silly
Until I popped up on the TV [la, la, la, la]
I always wanted to be a superstar
Who knew singing songs would get me this far? [la, la, la, la]

But I ain't complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say
What you wanna say

Sophia:
You don't know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have boobies [Radio: groupies]

When I grow up, be on TV
People know me, be on magazines
When I grow up, fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

I see them staring at me
Oh, I'm a trendsetter
Yes, this is true, 'cause what I do
No one can do it better

Ginger:
You can talk about me
'Cause I'm a hot topic
I see you watching me
Watching me
And I know you want it, oh

When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have boobies [Radio: groupies]

When I grow up, be on TV
People know me, be on magazines
When I grow up, fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

Bella:
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies

When I grow up, be on TV
People know me, be on magazines
When I grow up, fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

I ended with a flourish, stepping back with all the girls and striking a pose, close to what the real pussy cat dolls could have done.

Everyone was clapping and some of them left. The other were chatting, and I could see Kira and Nate leaving.

I smiled. This is what it meant to have a family.

O.M.G. 26 pages!!! EEEEKKKK the most I've ever done in a chapter haha :D

(1) It's another idea for a bonus chapter I want to do. Please review or PM me your opinions!
