=^.^=

Thankssss! (Enjoy!)

It was a normal, summer day…the birds sang sweetly in the trees and children played in the park. Rosalie dug her sandals back and forth in the dirt as she sat on the swing by herself, being 9 was tough.... She looked at her brother who was playing football with some of the other boys, "Sure, the big kids get all the fun." She huffed. Rosalie went flying off the swing as someone pushed passed her. "HEY, WATCH IT FREAK!" she screamed.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Rosalie's blue eyes met a boy's green ones. She accepted his hand, and brushed off her jumper. "I'm Emmett," he told her "What's yours?" Rosalie hesitated for a moment, "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." She finally blushed. "Well then my beautiful swan stranger, I'll see you later." When he spun around on his worn sneakers, Rosalie gave his sleeve a tug. "Tomorrow?" she asked shakily. Emmett gave her a smile, "Tomorrow…"

Close to dusk, Rosalie's brother ran over to her "Thanks sis, did you have a good time?" Before she could answer he ruffled her blond locks, and they took off down the block. Their mom was waiting for them with a hot supper, only three places were set at the table. "Mom?" Rosalie asked, "Where's dad?" Her mother wrung her hands, "He'll be working late again dear, just eat your soup before it gets cold."

Rosalie and her brother were already in bed when the door clicked shut. " I can't handle this anymore Robert, coming home late, being a slob all the time…" "Well what do you propose, if you can't live this way then neither can I." "It's time, I can't handle this anymore, tomorrow when the kids are out we are going to court." Rosalie let the stream of light fall on her face from the crack in the door, and cried herself to sleep.

**_ _**

Emmett was waiting for her by the swings the next day, Rosalie broke off from her brothers side and glided over to him. "Hi!" she extended her arm in greeting, "I'm Rosalie." Emmett laughed and shook her outstretched arm, "Well what do you want to do today Rosalie?" he relished at her name. "Depends on how much time you have," Rosalie sighed. "Well my dad is bound to pick me up in an hour." Emmett replied. "Who's watching you here then?" Rosalie chided, Emmett pointed to a girl about 12 years old sitting under a tree reading a book, "My sister, Alice."

"In fact," he added, "I'll take you to see her," Emmett made quotes with his fingers. "She loooovvess kids, just like mom does." Rosalie fell in pace with Emmett as they sauntered over to the tree. Alice looked up and smiled at Emmett, her gaze quickly turned to me, and then back to Emmett. "Well hello there, I'm Alice." "Hi Alice." I added shyly. "I'm Rosalie."

"Oh yes!" she squealed. "You are the Rosalie Emmett has been talking about to Carlisle and Esme!" I shot Emmett a look and he shot Alice a look back. Obviously seeing where this was going Alice flashed her teeth and sat back under the tree. Emmett scowled under his breath and dragged Rosalie over to the swings. "She seems nice Emmett," Rosalie added, remembering her mother.

Emmett came and pushed a golden strand from her face, "What's wrong?" Rosalie stared up at him, "My parents are getting a divorce, that's what's wrong." Emmett clicked his tongue, "I see." "Well how bout I let you meet MY parents!" Rosalie twisted her hair… "Tomorrow?" Emmett smiled big again… "Tomorrow…"

Rosalie watched as Emmett drove off in his father's Mercedes, she jumped off the jungle gym to grab her brother, he had an annoyed look when she tugged at his shoulder but he left his friends with a quick wave. "What's the hurry Rosalie?" her brother asked when they stepped onto the sidewalk. "I have to ask mom a question, Emmett invited me over to meet his family…" she absentmindedly looked up to the darkened sky. "Oh, what's Emmett's last name?"

"Umm, Cullen I believe…yeah Emmett Cullen." Rosalie strained her face to try to remember. Her brother stared at her, "You mean he is the brother of Alice Cullen?" Rosalie looked surprised , "Yeah…how did you know that?" "She's in my class, but I don't talk to her much, she likes to read a lot." Yup that's her, Rosalie thought. They continued their walk in silence. "What are you two kids doing here this late?" A raspy voice called from the alleyway.

Rosalie and her brother jumped at the sound, but they were paralyzed with fear. The figure moved closer to them, and Rosalie smelled it…he was drunk. She tried to scream, but she couldn't even conjure a squeak. " Uh, well we we're just, um going…home." She stared at her brother he was brave all right. The man gave them a devil smile, "Would you like some candy??"

"ROSALIE, GET IN THE CAR!" she recognized Emmett's voice, the Mercedes rolled toward them and sounded a roar. Rosalie pulled her brother from the sidewalk and into the passenger door. Carlisle Cullen was in the front seat dialing 9-1-1, as they sped off toward Rosalie's house they saw the lights flashing in the distance. Rosalie tried to grasp her breath, "How did you know-."

Emmett silenced her, "We stopped at the grocery store on our way, I suggested that we head over to the park, just incase you were still there." Carlisle looked at the rearview mirror, "Yes, and then he recognized you and your brother's figure off in the sidewalk, now where do you live Rose?" "Here," she said pointing to a white house. Carlisle looked back at her, "Doesn't look like there's a light on, how bout you go and check, and we'll stay right here."

Rosalie nodded in agreement and opened the passenger door. She trod up the steps and reached under the mat for the spare key. Turning the lock, she peered inside, no one was home, but a note written in her mother's handwriting lay on the table,

Dear Rosalie, I just got home to take a lunch break, I saw you in the park but you we're talking to your friends so I didn't want to bother you. Sweetie, Rosalie gagged at that name we won't be home till very late at night, so if you or your brother have someone you can spend the night with, please call me and I will pick you up tomorrow morning. Have fun, and BE SAFE.

Love,

Mom

Rosalie beckoned her brother in and showed him the note, his faced brightened up instantly as he reached for the phone. "Hey Billy?" "Yeah, it's Jackson , can I come and sleep over tonight?" Rosalie grimaced at her brother and went to go pack a set of clothes. "Great, I'll be over soon!" she heard her brother hang up the phone and run to his room. Rosalie emerged first carrying her duffle bag and ran back to the Mercedes, "Hey, Mr. Cullen do you mind if I sleep over tonight, my mom's gonna be out late." Carlisle nodded his head and handed over his cell phone. "Tell your mom not to come and get you, we'll bring you home, okay?" she nodded and dialed the number.

"Hello?" her mother's voice filled the speaker. "Yeah, mom it's me Rosalie, I'm gonna be staying with a friend tonight, and Jack will be staying with some Billy kid." "Alright, that's great sweetie," her mother's voice sounded rushed "Oh and mom, his dad said that he will bring me home tomorrow-." "Yeah, sure look I'm sorry but I have to go, have a great time!" The receiver clicked and the line went dead. Her brother bounded down the steps and took his seat back in the passenger row. Rosalie looked back at her house as she opened the opposite door and stepped inside also.

Carlisle Cullen first sped down to Billy's house and dropped off Jackson with a wave. Rosalie's eyelids drooped down as the scenery turned blurry and they sped off to the Cullen house-hold.

So, in the next chapter (when I write it…but I NEED REVIEWS….) Rosalie will be meeting the Cullen family for the first time. What will they think of her? REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!
