The Spotlight is On!

78

A/N: We're winding down to the end of Spotlight. I'm not sure of how many chapters are left, maybe 2 or 3, but it's time to end it soon. But there's good news after it's over, and you'll find out afterward. ;)

Previously...

Edward, Emmett, Alice, Rose, Jasper, and I got together and started to plan a family tour. At first it was a joke that we did on Youtube, but then we actually sat down to make something of it. Esme and Carlisle were excited to hear that we all wanted to do it, though it would cost a lot of money and time. First, we set up to release a single in the studio, called "Jump". Jasper and I got elected as co-lead guitarists.

May 2019

We video-documented everything on the Cullen Family Tour, and it was hard, but a lot of fun! Carlisle and his managing team got together to make everything run, and we got an actual tour bus to tour around the country, and a private jet to travel to South America. We planned to film the tour and turn it into a 3D concert experience for all of our fans.

The format for concerts was this: we would all trade off as separate acts and perform our own hits, then towards the end, we'd perform a few songs altogether.

Sometimes, it was a struggle to perform while sick, especially me, because I got sick a lot on tour. Some days, I wanted to pull through, and other days, I just wanted to go to sleep.

One night when we were in Atlanta, GA, I was really sick, just coughing and sneezing everywhere, and we almost cancelled the show, but I pressed Edward and Carlisle that I wanted to do it. I took some Aleve and sucked in my sick feelings to make it better for the 10,000 fans.

While on the piano for "Titanium", I was feeling confident, but when I got to the chorus, my voice just fell flat.

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

On the word 'titanuim' my voice wore out and squeaked. I bow my head in shame while playing the baby grand piano, my bangs covering my eyes. Hot tears stung my eyes as I sniffled, hoping that no one could hear that. I felt a hand rub my shoulders and my back, and I turned around to see a pair of worried, green eyes. Edward frowned and kept rubbing my back as I kept playing the melody over and over again. He took the mike off of the stand connected to my piano and stood up to the crowd.

"Help Bella out, she just lost her voice, do you know this song? Who knows this song?"

The crowd screamed out, and the lights blared out in front of us. I peeked from behind my hair to see Edward's frame. He walked back to me and took my hand, but I pulled away.

"No, no, Edward, don't, please, I don't want—", I squeaked out tearfully.

"Shh, shh, it's ok, I got you." He squeezed my hand as we kept walking downstage. I wiped my eyes. I looked behind us, and saw the band determined to make this a better night. Edward turned back to the crowd and shouted, "Ok you guys got this!"

You shoot me down but I won't fall

He held the mike out and the crowd sang, or rather screamed, the rest of the chorus out. I looked up from under Edward's arm and saw everyone lifting their cell phones up high, creating this firefly effect in the dark, like millions and millions of tiny fireflies lighting up the night sky. I sniffled and tears, now from happiness, fell down my cheeks. Damn, I loved our fans.
