18AN: So this is going to be my first fanfic with lyrics in it. Also I don't own twilight characters and all songs are Lana Del Rey's. This story is set 8 years after the Cullen's left Bella, so Bella is 26. For the interview I will just be going like back and forth with no input till they end. Also I will be using questions and answers from a real interview.
APOV
It's been 8 years since we've left Bella and I have not seen a vision of her at all. Leaving her destroyed our family, Edward lost his mate, Esme and Carlisle lost a daughter, Emmet and Jasper lost a little sister. I lost a sister and a best friend and believe it or not Rosalie lost a sister, She's been guilty after the way she treated her.
Everyone is off doing what ever they are doing and I'm bored out of my mind here in Denver. Yes I know I could be shopping but I just don't feel like it anymore, I don't find it enjoyable anymore. I was skipping through the channels on the flat screen in the living room when something caught my eye. An interviewer who looked extremely excited as did the crowd. So I stayed on the channel to watch.
"Now everyone welcome back give a warm welcome to LANA DEL REY!" The interviewer screamed as the audience went wild.
A beautiful women came out In a short blood red dress that sort of poofed out at the bottom (the one she wore at Hackney Weekend show 2012). Her makeup was extremely dark and her eyeliner went out almost up to her eyebrows. Her hair was dark brown and in the bouffant hair style. She was gorgeous.
(Interview will be in italics)
"Hello Jay!"
"Well hello Lana you look amazing today!"
"Well thank you, so do you" Lana replied with a small laugh, she seemed to familiar yet so different.
"So I hear you going to be performing for us today?" Jay replied smiling.
"Uh yes I will be, but I can't tell you the set list I want it to be a surprise.
"Okay! Now may I ask you a couple questions?" Jay asked nervously.
"Of coarse but didn't you do your research?" She winked at him.
"Yes but I would like to hear the answers from you."
"So what is your real name and why did you get the name Lana Del Rey?" Jay leaned in interestingly.
"Well my real name is Isabella Swan an-."
The family rushed down here and I paused the screen with a shocked look on my face I never expected to hear that. The family was just as shocked as I was.
"Damn Bellsie sure has grown up that's for sure." Leave it to Emmet to ruin a moment yet again.
"Are you going to countinue playing it Alice?" Edward replied curtly. The whole family was shocked he has barley spoken. I shaked my head and pressed the play button the remote.
"Well my real name is Isabella Swan and when I was younger I felt like I wasn't the person I was supposed to become yet. I had a vision for myself that was as beautiful as I wanted the music to be. I generally don't deny my creative impulses so that was just one of those creative impulses that I had." Bella smiled answering the question or Lana now I guess.
"How do you cope with fame?"
"I really hope I still feel inspired to write the way I used to a few years ago. When I first found writing, it was really new. I felt like I was doing something no one has ever done before. In Washington, I take a lot of walks and I drive on my own. No one ever said anything to me, I was alone. When I leave America, it gets a little crazier. To be honest, when I'm talking to people with interesting questions like this interview, that is really good. And then the rest of it, I'm not sure about…
" Okay, who is Lana Del Rey beyond music and all these attention from the public? Who are you really"
Although I love music, it is not my first passion. When I decided to stop drinking when I was 23, my passion was working with homeless outreach, drugs and alcohol rehabilitation. I lived in New York for 4 years so that's my job for real. I would say music doesn't really feel like my true calling."
"How do you feel when you feel like you got the attention of people?
"I think the attention came with such a negative spin on the other side. It never really felt like it was something I could sit back and enjoy. I felt more like I have to guard the songs and protect them to make sure their future was protected. I really believed in the record, the music and the producers who have worked on it. I felt like I have no idea what is going to happen now."
"You posed nude in British GQ magazine recently, what makes you do that"
"I just like how beautiful naked women are. I love seeing girls' skin in pictures. I have all the old Playboy magazines from the 60s and 70s. I love the look of girls with red lips and shiny skin. I am a big fan of the female form. So for me, it wasn't uncomfortable."
"How were your teenage years like"
"They were interesting. I stopped drinking at 23 just because I felt like a person who like trying new things and feel different. You do things so fast, you end up having so many different lifestyles all in one short time. Aside from that, I always felt like I have been around for a long time. My mother said that when I was seven, I used to think that I was an adult. When I was at all the parties, I talk to people like they were my friends"
"One last question who are you songs about?"
"I'm usually singing about the same goddamn guy…I'll love him forever."
We all looked at Edward and he just frowned and shrugged his shoulders at us.
"Why thank you Lana it was a pleasure to have you hear today and if you would just head over to the stage to sing for us."
Bella started to walk towards the stage and waved and smiled at the crowd.
"So this is one of my new ones called Ride I hope you enjoy it."
I've been out on that open road Don't break me down I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast Dying young and I'm playing hard Don't leave me now I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
You can be my full time, daddy
White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time, baby
Hot or cold
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it, ride 'til dark.
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
The crowd cheered extremely loud that I had to turn the TV down. Honestly who knew Bella- Lana could sing. The way she sang was like shed was In a completely different world. As she closed her eyes and smiled and used her hands you could tell she was getting into it.
Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn's my mother,
Jesus is my bestest friend.
I don't need nobody, 'cause we got each other,
Or at least I pretend.We get down every Friday night,
Dancin' and grindin' in the pale moonlight.
grand all the prayer, feelin' alright,
She prays the rosary for my broken mind.I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I'm on fire, baby, I'm on fire.Whitman is my daddy, Monaco's my mother,
Diamonds are my bestest friend.
Heaven is my baby, suicide's her father,
Opulence is the end.We get down every Friday night,
Dancin' and grindin' in the pale moonlight.
grand all the prayer, feelin' alright,
She prays the rosary for my broken mind.I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I'm on fire, baby, I'm on fire.My clothes still smell like you,
All the photographs say, that we're still young.
I pretend I'm not hurt,
I walk about the world like I'm havin' fun.
And I get crazy every Friday night,
I drop it like it's hot in the pale moonlight.
and when I pray, I'm feelin' alright,
She's swayin' softly, to her hearts delight.I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I'm on fire, sugar, I'm on fire.
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric, baby.
The crowd screamed even louder if it was even louder. The whole family was even more shocked but was smiling proudly.
"You know I like to sing that one, only a couple more."
Blue jeans, White shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death & sick as ca-cancer
You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby!I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of timeBig dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like: "no please, stay here,"
We don't need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was
Chasing paper
"Caught up in the game" that was the last I heardI will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of timeYou went out every night
And baby that's alright
I told you that no matter what you did I'd be by your side
Cause Ima ride or die
Whether you fail or fly
Well shit, at least you tried.
But when you walked out that door, a piece of me died
I told you I wanted more-but that not what I had in mind
I just want it like before
We were dancin' all night
Then they took you away- stole you out of my life
You just need to remember...I will love you till the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember
I will love you till the end of time
"I'm glad you guys like that one okay so the next one I will be doing is called video games I know you guys like this one" Just as if on cue the crowd screamed.
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car whistling my name
Open up a beer and you take it over here
And play a video gameI'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed, take that body downtown
I say you the bestest, lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on, go play a video gameIt's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do, I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to doI heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true? It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do- crowd roared.
"You sound good." The crowd screamed.Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars, living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts, video gamesHe holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars this is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall in and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun playing video gamesIt's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to doI heard that you like the bad girls

They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you

Everything I do I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to doI heard that you like the bad girls

They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you

"Okay I'm going to leave you I love you."
As we watch on the TV Lana runs away from the stage and toward the crowd with open arms and starts shaking their hands and kissing them on the cheek as some of them are crying. She makes her way toward the exit. She gives the last person a kiss and Blows them all a kiss before leaving, Just as the music ends. The crowd cheers for Lana, they crave her, they need her voice.
"Now wasn't that amazing everyo-." Jay says before I shut the TV off.
"My daughter is so amazing!" Esme cries into Carlisle's shoulder as he rubs her back soothingly. We were just so proud and now we know that at least she is happy we will leave her alone as she is happy and we will not bug her anymore.
AN: So that is the end of this story I hope you all enjoyed it as I did writing this. I love Lana her music is amazing.
SONGS: Ride, Body Electric, Blue Jeans, Video Games and National Anthem
