Hey! This is my first story so please give it a chance.
Disclaimer for the rest of the story, I, sadly, do not own Twilight. Stephanie Meyers does :)
So I now present you with Psh, Really? Enjoy!
"Close you're mouth Edward. You're drooling all over my food." Rosalie huffed, moving her tray of food closer to her. "Seriously, go ask her out already you idiot."
My mouth snapped shut. Turning to look at my best friend, I scowled. "Shut up." Then, like the mature 17-year-old that I am, I stuck my tongue out at her. "Take that."
She rolled her eyes and turned to look back at the table my eyes had been glued on. A soft smile graced her mouth and I looked at her curiously.
Emmett McCarty had just sat down next to Bella, throwing his arm around her shoulder. He said something that made her blush and timidly look over to my table. I adverted my eyes down to the book in front of me, trying to contain my slightly flushed face. Fuck, had she seen me staring at her? God, why am I such a pussy? I sighed and stuffed some chips into my mouth.
Rosalie giggled from across me. "God, Edward, grow a pair." Her giggles dissolved and her eyes grew wide. I looked over my shoulder, concerned, to see Emmett coming our way with a huge smile.
"Cullen." He said in his booming voice that made me cringe in my seat while Rose sat still in hers, eyes trailing Emmett's every movement while he snatched a chair from the table next to us and sitting on it backwards. Hm, gotta ask her about that later.
"I see you like my girl over there." Emmett nodded toward his table where Bella and her friends sat.
"You're girl?" Rosalie's voice was cold and harsh.
Emmett looked over at her, his smile getting so big that his dimples showed completely. "No, she's my cousin." He stuttered out once he realized that Rosalie's stare wasn't dimming at his smile. I scoffed. Emmett's thinking was ridiculous. Rose was a stubborn one. When we were about six, I remember us being obsessed with playing doctor. At first, she let me be the doctor until her older brother, Jasper told her that only men were doctors, using the example of both of our fathers being doctors. After that, she stomped her feet and refused to play with me if I wasn't the nurse or the patient with her always being doctor. Not even with a cookie or a promise of being her personal punch back was enough for me to become the doctor when I played with Rose.
"Incest is frowned upon you know." She said bluntly, narrowing her eyes on him. I saw a pained look flash in her eyes and my heart clenched.
"WHAT!" Emmett screeched, earning a scolding look from one of the teachers on lunch duty. "I mean, you're crazy." At the word, Rosalie stiffened. She looked back down at her tray of untouched food and back up at me, letting her hair hide her pained expression from Emmett's view.
"I have to go." She stood up quickly, pulling on her coat and picking up her bag. "See you later Edward."
Rose didn't look at anyone as she strutted out of the cafeteria and into the cold.
Emmett blinked a couple of times, clearly confused. "Did I say something?"
"Not at all." I didn't mean for my voice to sound so angered and mean toward him but it did. I looked down at him as I put on my coat. "We'll talk some other time." I dropped my book into my bag and headed to look of Rose, leaving Emmett alone at the table with my chips and Rose's food.
My heart really did go out for Rose. She had so much on her plate that I'm constantly surprised she just doesn't stay in bed all day, crying her eyes out.
I wandered off to the parking lot where I knew she would be. And I was right. She sat on the hood of her red convertible BMW with her face in her hands as her body shook with sobs. Dropping my bag on the ground, I went to pull her off her car and into my arms.
"Rosie, don't cry. It's okay, love. She can't hurt you anymore." I whispered.
"Edward." She buried her face into my chest, crying as quietly as she could.
I pulled away from her and sat down on the grass. Needing no invitation, Rose curled up on my lap, hugging me. "I'm sorry."
She tried to explain but i shook my head. "Don't worry about it Rose. That's what best friends are for." I smiled at her and she smiled back. Even with her nose all red and runny, her eyes shinning with unshed tears, and a blotchy face, Rosalie Hale was still looking like she wandered off a runway. She was a beauty alright. Her honey blond locks fell down to her back and her legs went on for miles. Her features were straight and perfect and her body was impeccable. Curves in the right places and a million dollar smile that made any guy forget their name (trust me, I have seen it happen many times.) But the most striking and unique thing that set my friend apart from anyone was her eyes, the color of violets. Rose's perfect appearance wasn't really the same as her life was. Rose had a lot to deal with. No one really knew what went on in the Hale household. When her father, Noel Hale, got arrested, the charges were never leaked out to the public which caused rumors to fly around about possible fraud, murder, drug trafficing and who knows what else. It didn't help that a year later after her husband was arrested, Caroline Hale was arrested too and then sent to a facility that no one knew the specialty.
"Let's go, the bell rang." Rose stood up, stretching out her hand to help me up.
"You're going to be okay for the last two periods?" I questioned her. I looked her over silently as she thought about it. Finally she nodded.
"Yeah. I can't miss so much school. Esme wouldn't like it." She smirked. "Your mother may be a a kind, peaceful woman but when something isn't done as she wants, she's out for blood."
I laughed. It was true. My mother, like Rose, had a personality that sometimes contradicted her appearance.
"Come on, she might hear out thoughts of ditching school and I'm trying to stay alive so I can ask Bella out." I didn't notice what I said until it was too late.
"Edward Anthony Masen Swan. I like it." She teased, running her fingers through her hair. "May I ask, when is the wedding, love?"
She laughed at my slight blush.
"Fuck you." I said, glancing around to make sure no one heard her.
"Oh Edward!" Rose gasped, her expression turning into one of surprise and regret. "Is that her behind the bush?" She laughed even harder at me as I ran around looking behind every bush around us. She walked away then, holding her sides as she laughed. Gr, that girl knew how to make me sweat.
