The Cullen house was quiet for a change today. Carlisle was at the hospital, Esme was reading, Emmett was out hunting and Jasper was god knows where. Alice was back in Forks to help Charlie out all for one reason. Bella was dead. Poor Edward still wasn't back from trying to track Victoria which meant he didn't know that the love of his life was gone of the face of the earth forever.
My wardrobe was occupying me. I for one wasn't as upset for Bella as the others, she was the one who decided to jump of the cliff, but I cared more for Edward and that he was okay. The love Edward had for Bella was special, it wasn't everyday a vampire fell head over heals for a human. I didn't have any idea how he would cope when he found out Bella was no longer with us or in this case, anyone. Alice had made me along with the rest of the family swear not to tell Edward. I didn't see a reason why he shouldn't know that Bella had passed on because I for one would like to know if Emmett was gone. I looked up the clock. It was 10am where we are here in Alaska which would mean it would be about 7.00pm in Rio de Janeiro, not that it really mattered what time it was because Edward hadn't slept in almost 90 years and he won't sleep for the rest of his existence. I looked over at my phone which was sitting next to the television in my room. All I would have to do is pick it up and find the number. But what about the promise I had made to Alice? Stuff Alice, Edward deserves to know
I slowly walked over to my phone, half expecting it to ring with an angry Alice on the other end of the line ready to go off but it didn't. As I got to the phone I picked it up and slid the screen up to reveal the numbers underneath. I went into the contacts list and scrolled through the contacts until I found Edwards number. I closed my eyes and took one deep unnecessary breath before pressing the call button.
I put the phone to my ear and waited for Edward to pick up. "Come on, pick up the phone" I said as I paced around my wardrobe which was big enough to be another bedroom. But every time I said it I was answered by that annoying ring.
One ring…
Two rings…
Three rings…
"What do you want Rose" Edward snapped
I hadn't thought that far yet. "Edward I have something to tell you. Are you sitting down?". It was a stupid question considering we are like rock.
"Again Rose what do you want?" He said calmly but anger still tinted his speech.
"It's about Bella" I said
"Spit it out Rose. I'm really not in the mood right now" He said not trying to sound calm. You could tell he was starting to get pissed now.
I couldn't stall any longer "Edward, Bella's dead"
The phone went silent. "Edward are you there?" He didn't reply. "Edward, if you want to talk I'm here for you if you" I said getting concerned.
"Bye Rose" he answered, obviously upset
Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. Damn you Rosalie Lillian Hale what were you thinking? Now Edwards going to be mopping around for the rest of his existence and Alice is going to rip your head off. Great move Rose! What am I going to do now?
