I watched my Sister run inhumanly fast away from me, towards Forks, towards her. That girl was ripping my family to pieces. I'd had enough of it. At least it was over now. We would carry on as before; starting now. As this thought hit me I realised that the sooner he found out, the sooner my family would heal.
I pulled my phone out from my pocket in my jeans, taking a moment to glance at the reflective screen, before dialling the familiar number.
As I expected it went straight to voice mail. He never picked up anymore; he thought that nothing else mattered. Well, it did.
I was not one to give up though and I kept ringing him until, finally, he answered.
"What do you want, Rosalie?" He sounded irritated.
"Can I not call my brother?" I asked in a fake innocent voice, I knew he saw through it because I could hear him scoff. Before I could say anything else he hung up on me, obviously thinking I was just bored and wanted to annoy him.
I called again and again for a solid five minutes before he picked up the phone.
"Rose, I don't want to hear it." Edward snapped and I could tell he was about to hang up again.
"Wait!" I yelled before he had a chance to. "There's something you need to know!"
I could tell he was considering his choices so before he decided I blurted out, "Alice has gone to Forks."
That got his attention, "What?!" I knew that he was furious with her unnecessarily and that annoyed me but just as I opened my mouth he cut me off, "What do you mean, Rose, why?"
I sighed, this was the hart part; why. I knew this would hurt my brother and I didn't want him upset.
Most people thought I was selfish but I wasn't, Emmett and Jasper knew that. I cared about my family, that's why I didn't like Bella in the first place; she endangered that family.
But no-one saw how much I cared, no-one except Emmett and Jasper. Emmett could tell because he knew everything about me. Jasper knew because he could feel how much I cared and worried about them.
"Rose?" Edward's voice brought me back to the present, I sighed again.
"Well... I mean... Err... Um..." I couldn't say it. I just couldn't. But I knew I had to, so I tried again. "She's gone, Edward, so Alice went to try to help Charlie cope without her." I said softly.
He surprised me by laughing and I began to hope that maybe, just maybe, he didn't care anymore, and he found it funny that I thought that he still did.
However he quickly squashed that hope by saying, "I don't know how Charlie's going to cope without her cooking. Why did she move back to Phoenix anyway?"
His words cut through me as I realised I would have to tell him again.
"Edward, Bella didn't move back to her mother, back to Phoenix. But don't you see that this is a good thing. Now you can come back. We can all be a family again." I quickly got out before I heard his deep breathing down the end of the line.
"Where did she go then, if not to Phoenix?" He knew what I meant, I could hear it in his voice, and he was just begging me to tell him it was some kind of joke. My heart broke for him; again.
I spoke softly and slowly, hating to do this to him and regretting calling him in the first place. "She's gone, gone, as in, well, died, drowned." I heard his sharp intake of breath and knew that I should leave it there but I couldn't seem to stop.
"Alice had a vision. Bella jumped off a cliff and she didn't come out of the water. I'm sorry. No-one else knows, the others are out hunting. Alice didn't spare a second thought, she just ran off to help Charlie, I mean, you know how emotional humans can be." I trailed off slowly, realising he was being too quiet.
"This is a joke. This is a sick joke."
"I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry but things like this happen. You left her human Edward; you must have known that she'd die sooner or later." All I could hear was a low beeping sound; he'd rung off.
I slowly pulled the phone away from my face and looked at it, for once not even noticing how beautiful I looked in the screen. What had I done? What would he do? I shuddered at the possibilities.
Just then the back door slammed shut. My family were back from hunting. I had to tell them, I knew I had to.
As I slowly turned around their smiles and laughter died down at my expression, I didn't know how bad I looked but apparently quite bad.
"Rose, baby, what's wrong?" Emmett asked, and then he looked around. "Where's Alice?"
Well, there it is. Please review, whether you like it or not, I want to know. This is a one-shot, there will be no more chapters.
Thank you for reading, I hope you liked it. Please review.
