DISCLAIMER: I OWN NO CHARACTERS USED IN THIS STORY


Psssst everybody!

This story is about LynetteCullen's life.

Be sure not to tell her.

Just kidding. She already knows.

She was my fabulous BETA as always.


She was getting tired of this. Hiding who she really was from her parents so that they would accept her. She wanted to be able to be herself and not have to worry about deleting the text messages from Alice, and she was sure as hell tired of having to end their phone calls every time her mother came into the room.

'I just wanna be my fucking self,' Rose thought as she got off of the school bus. She was a senior in high school and she wanted to be able to do what she wanted to do. Her mother let her do everything else, but Esme had made it very clear that no daughter of hers would be a lesbian. And in actuality, Rose isn't a lesbian, she's bisexual, but she knew that to her mother, lesbian and bisexual were one in the same. She made straight A's. Why couldn't that be enough?

"Hey," she grunted as she got in the car. Esme merely nodded in her direction, and didn't even bother to look up from her phone. "I got my report card," Rose grumbled as she tossed it in her mother's direction.

"I didn't expect anything different," she grumbled, scanning the seven A's that graced her daughter's report card. "Where's CJ?" she asked, looking over at Rose for the first time since she had been in the car. "Oh here he go," she said flatly as Carlisle Cullen Jr. got into the back seat. "Where your report card?" she asked him.

"Right here," he answered as he got it out of his backpack and handed it to her.

"MY BABY IS SO SMART!" she exclaimed. "Look Rose. CJ got two B's and five C's," she proclaimed as she shoved it in Rose's face. "Doesn't he make you proud?" she questioned, looking at the little boy in the back seat currently picking his nose.

"Seriously?" Rose asked, beginning to get pissed off at the fact that the little motherfucker apparently couldn't even get an A in gym, but mom still thought he was so damn smart. "Mom, if he's smart, then what the hell do you consider me? Mega genius," she asked sarcastically.

"He's a boy, so it's different. And anyway, you're that weird kind of smart that creeps people out," Esme admitted.

"Ha, ha. Mom called you weird," CJ chimed in from the back seat.

"Be quiet you little ass wipe," Rose said, ecstatic that they were pulling into the driveway of their home. She was getting pissed off at the fact that her mother always called her weird. Just because she'd rather have a book that a mini skirt, Esme tagged her as abnormal. An outcast because she didn't fit the mold of the typical teenage girl.

"Watch your foul mouth Rosalie. No man is ever gonna wanna marry you," Esme warned as they got out of the car. Rose couldn't help the small giggle that left her lips. If only her mother really knew. If she were to get married, it sure as hell wouldn't be to a man. Dick was a rare thing for Rose to crave anymore. Her Alice was all she needed.

"Yeah I know mom," she fired back as they walked through the front door. "I'm quite aware that according to you, I'm gonna spend the rest of my life alone," she finished as she walked up the stairs and down the hallway to her room. She had grown accustomed to her mother's insults, but it didn't make the pain that they brought less bearable.

Once in her room, Rose locked the door, a habit that she had recently adopted, and went to sit on her bed. "Time for the only bit of sunshine in this hell I call a life," she mumbled to herself as she pulled out her iPhone (she refused to have a computer because her mother snooped far too much) and opened up the latest text from Alice.

Thinkin of u

Alice would never know how a simple text like this brightened up Rose's day. She would never know that the calm she brought to Rose was what kept Rose sane.

Smiling to herself, Rose typed her reply.

Thinkin of u 2. Call me later?

The reply was so quick, it made Rose happy that she had someone that cared so deeply for her.

Of course. Sumthin wrong?

That's Alice for you. She could sense something wrong, even in a text message. She just has that sixth sense for recognizing problems.

Kinda. Not really sumthin u txt about. Meet me at the lake in 10 min?

Rose had intended to talk to Alice about this over the phone, but after some reconsideration, she realized it was a matter better discussed in person.

OK.

The simple reply meant that Alice was already on the way, meaning that she'd be there before ten minutes was up.

Rose quickly got off the bed and grabbed her bag before heading downstairs. She sighed to herself as she made it to the bottom of the stairs. Both Esme and Carlisle were sitting on the couch watching TV. Rose had considered sneaking out, but had let the idea go when she thought about what Esme might do when she discovered that she had left. So she sucked it up and once she got down the stairs stated, "I'm going out. I'll be back in an hour," before she turned on her heel and left without hearing their replies, knowing that she'd have to take some shit from them about it later.

She hurriedly raced across the yard and through the woods surrounding their house to reach the old boat dock by the lake, only to find Alice sitting there waiting. "What's the matter Rosie?" she asked, her voice full of concern. "Did something happen?" she questioned without even giving Rose time to answer. "Tell me all about it," she finished, finally giving Rose time to speak.

"Well there's not really a problem," Rose began as she gracefully sank down next to Alice on the dock. "It's just that I'm tired of hiding our relationship from my parents. I want to be able to let everyone know how I feel about you," she admitted, laying her head on Alice's shoulder before running her fingers through the red bob, something that she had began when they were little.

"I know you do honey, but you know that we can't tell your parents until we graduate," she reminded her, thinking of the outburst and abuse that would come with Esme knowing that her daughter was in love with another girl. "And once we get to college, it's fuck what they say," Alice stated with a straight face, knowing the expletive would make Rose smile.

"God I love you Alice," Rose said with a soft giggle, loving the way Alice could make her feel better when she was feeling blue.

"Three more months Rosie. That's it," she reminded her as she stroked the silky blond hair that she loved. "And I love you too," she added though she knew that Rose didn't need to hear the words. Slowly she turned to Rose and pulled her in for the most passionate kiss that they had ever shared.

It was slow and intimate, unlike most of the kisses that they had shared in heated moments when they were alone. The kiss was loving and sweet, which was just what Rose needed. She wrapped her hand around Alice's neck deepening the kiss.

They were so into the kiss, that they weren't aware of the footfalls crunching through the woods behind them. They weren't aware of the video camera taping them as they slowly undressed each other, and made love on the dock. They weren't aware that their lives were about to be turned upside down, and that their relationship was about to be seriously tested.


LEAVE FEEDBACK. I LOVE IT.
