Innocent Sorrow

Chapter One-Future Is Blank


-Cullen Home-

Rosalie Hale sat outside listening to Alice talk away with Carlisle and Esme about the graduation party she saw that should go smoothly. She wasn't a fan of human any human party since Bella had walked into the family. They had to leave for the last party. "Rose!" Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts looking over at Alice who was running to her. "Yeah Alice?"

"Everything is blank!" Alice sat beside Rosalie on the steps and gave a loud huff. "Then does that mean the party is canceled?"

"No..its not danger blankness...its more of when Bella is around Jacob." Rosalie rolled her eyes. She crossed her legs and leaned back against her elbows. "Alice I don't want mutts around here. They will stink up the whole house. You know how Bella smells after being around them."

"Yes, I do know Rose. But if they come I want you to act..." Alice trailed off looking at Rosalie, trying to think of a word so she wouldn't make Rosalie angry. "Civil.." Rosalie looked at Alice who finished saying the last word in a mumble. "Civil...to dogs..I'll try Alice. But I'm not making any promises." Rosalie stood up stretching then walked into the house to help set up with the party. Alice smiled to herself, jumping up as well and made her way inside to her purse. She was going to go shopping to grab everyone up some new clothes and other things needed for the party.

She was about to walk out the front door when she froze mid step. She started seeing the party, Rosalie going to the door then her future vanishing. It wasn't just for the graduation party, all of Rosalie's future vanished which caused a small panic in Alice. Forgetting the shopping, she grabbed her phone from her purse and called Edward. After a couple rings he picked up with a grumbling, "Hello Alice."

"Edward, we need to take extra care at the party."

"You called me during hunting for that? Alice..."

"No Edward, Rosalie's future has gone blank..not just for the party either." Alice leaned against the door frame of the house, glancing around. She heard Rosalie sigh in annoyance and heard Carlisle and Esme setting up a few things. "Alice its probably just because of...Jacob and the others. Bella's invited them though I doubt she'll want them there now." Edward sighed into the phone and Alice tapped her chin. "Is Jasper still hunting?"

"Yes, so is Emmett."

"Alright, I just want to be extra careful...that's all." Alice shook her head to herself and went out to her car. It was getting late so she didn't have to worry about the sun. "I know you do Ali. We'll be back in a couple hours then you and Rose can go hunt."

"Bye Edward." After hearing him say a 'bye' Alice hung up the phone and put it in her purse. She was going to speak to Jasper about helping keep everyone at the party calm enough, she didn't want anything going wrong like at Bella's party. Getting into her car she breathed out forcing a smile. "Just calm down Alice."


A few hours later...

"We're home!" Emmett's booming voice filled the house as he stepped into the front door. Rosalie stood up from the couch and went to him smiling. "Finally, I'm starving." Rosalie gave a small laugh, Emmett wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her closer to him. "Sorry we were gone so long but you know how Edward is with his better safe than sorry moods." Rosalie rolled her eyes and heard Alice yell from outside, "Hurry up! The party is tomorrow and I want to make sure everything is perfect!" Emmett and Rosalie both groaned then Rose stepped away. "I guess its Pixie says time." Giving a quick peck on Emmett's lips, Rosalie ran out to go hunting with Alice who had bought a lot of things at the mall an hour earlier.

-La Push-

Jacob had tried calling Bella but without success. He knew she was angry with him, he threw the phone on the couch and stood up. "I'll be back later." He said to Billy then left the house. Once he was far enough he phased and began listening to the thoughts of Embry, Sam and some of the others. He sat down laying his head on his paws and shut his eyes.

"So when are we going to that party Jake?" Jacob heard Embry and sighed in his head. "Eight. We won't be able to stay too long. Just need to talk with the fangs and then we can leave."

"All of you need to be careful and keep your cool. Try not to get too angry and if you do leave." Jacob stood up hearing Sam speak to each one of them who were phased and who were going. He heard everyone start saying the 'of course' and 'yes' answers. Jacob stayed silent and layed back down.

"Guess the leeches do know how to throw a party." Embry crossed his arms and they walked out to some of the Cullens. Away from any human ears Jacob and some of the others waited to start talking but then Jacob heard someone speak. "Well, look here Bella's brough her pets."
