CHAPTER 2
"Come on B, you don't have to move out," Rose was sitting on my bed fidgeting with my pillow. She had a sad look on her face that was making me rethink moving out.
I was packing up my room so I could move out as soon as possible. Alice said that her brothers apartment was fully furnished so I didn't need to worry about the big items. Just my clothes, my books, and all my knick-knacky crap. Most of the furniture belonged to Rose anyway. I would just have to start fresh when I found a place of my own.
Just then Emmett's stupid duck came through my bedroom door and made a god awful noise, "I think it's better if I move. I love you and I love Emmett and I know that you don't want him to find a new place. You guys deserve the chance to live together without a third wheel roommate. And I really don't wanna live with a duck. A dog or a cat maybe, hell even a small gerbil, but a duck?"
I bounced down on the bed next to her, "I won't be moving far. We will still see each other all the time." Alice's brother's place is in the same building as Alice and Jasper's apartment which was just down the street.
"I know. I'm just going to miss you. We have lived together for so long, it'll be weird to not see you all the time and just you know, hang out."
"I know, you are my best friend Rose, nothing will change that," I said while giving her a big hug.
"Yo. Yo. Yo., Em dizzle in da house!" Emmett yelled while bursting into my room. Once he saw our sad faces he bounced on the bed next to us. "Aww, why are we so sad," he pouted.
"We're not, just thinking about how we aren't going to live together anymore," I explained with a sad smile.
"Rose baby, there's no reason to be sad. You're going to be living with me!" Em exclaimed as if this solved all our problems.
"Ya Rose, no need to be sad, you have Emmett," I paused, "and a duck!" I said with a sarcastic smile.
She gave a small watery laugh that sorta sounded like a sob while Emmett sat there smiling like a dufus that he was.
"Hey that duck has a name," he pointed his sausage like finger at me with a huge smile.

"Emmett, be careful with that! I yelled while he ran into my new building with my box full of vintage books that I had been collecting for years.
Today was the day, I was moving all of my stuff into Edward's apartment. I didn't have that many boxes so it wasn't going to take to long. I planned to spend the rest of the day unpacking while eating pizza and drinking beer. I had never lived alone before so I was looking forward to the solitude, and the fact that if I wanted to walk around in my underwear I could.
"Thank you guys so much for helping me," I thanked Em and Rose once the last box had been carried in.
"No problem Bella Boo," Em said while plopping down on the sofa and resting his feet on the coffee table.
I turned to Rose who just rolled her eyes, "Come on baby, lets go home."
"Why? I thought we could hang out here and have some dinner," Em pouted. He really got a lot of use out of his lower lip.
She leaned over the couch next to his ear, "I was thinking we could go home and celebrate that we officially live together."
He got the hint, because the next thing I knew he had thrown Rose over his shoulder and was yelling his goodbye while Rose giggled and waved at me.
After I closed the door behind them, I turned around to look at where I would be living for the next few months.
It was a decent sized apartment, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a nice sized living room that had a huge flat screen and a big comfy looking black leather couch. The kitchen was filled with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. I couldn't wait to actually cook a meal in there.
I walked down the hallway towards the master bedroom, it was huge and had a king sized bed. You could definitely tell it was a guys room. It had dark bedding, nothing on the walls, and another huge TV.
Across the hall was the guest room which is where I would be sleeping. It was kinda bare, just a bed, a dresser and another huge TV. It didn't matter though, I had enough knick- knacks to make it feel a little homier.
Back in the living room I flipped the giant TV on after having a fight with the four different remote controls, and started to unpack all my stuff. After several hours I decided to order a pizza from the little pizzeria down the block. It was called Mamas and Papas, and the best thing was that they also had beer.
Thirty minutes later a large cheese pizza and a six pack of Heineken showed up at my door. I paid the kid and settled into the couch while watching an old episode of Grey's Anatomy.
A little while later there was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it and found Alice and Jasper standing there with big smiles.
"Hey," she bounced forward and gave me a hug. "I'm so excited that we live in the same building now."
"Me to. Where are you guys going?" I just noticed that they were dressed up.
"I'm taking Alice out for a date night," Jasper smiled while wrapping his arm around her waist.
"That's really sweet."
"Ya, we just wanted to stop by and make sure you got moved in okay," Alice said while giving Jasper a goofy looking smile.
"Everything is great, it's a really nice apartment."
"Good. Well, we should do something this week, maybe we can have a movie night in are our PJs.
"Ya, that sounds like fun. You guys have a good night and call me tomorrow," I gave them both hugs before they took off down the hall.
After watching a few more hours of mindless TV, I decided to take a shower and climb into bed in just a tank top and black lacy boy shorts, the perks of living alone.
The bed was really comfy and had a down-filled comforter that made me feel like I was sleeping in a cloud. It only took me a few minutes before I was drifting off.
It felt like minutes later that I jerked awake. It had actually been hours and was currently 4:30 in the morning. I wasn't sure what woke me up, so I just rolled back over and tried to go back to sleep.
That was when I heard it, a noise coming from the kitchen. I slid out of bed quietly and looked around the room for my cell phone. When I couldn't find it, I remembered that I left it on the coffee table. I could have called the police or Jasper. Jasper would have been quicker than the cops.
Looking around my room I saw the knife I was using earlier to cut boxes open, it would have to do.
I crack my door open and listened, it's it was pretty quiet with the exception of some quiet shuffling. There was definitely someone in my apartment.
I crept down the hallway on my tiptoes and peaked around the corner so I can see the kitchen. There was a man standing in front of the fridge moving things around, he had already pulled a few things out and put them on the counter. I had bought a few things so I wouldn't have to eat take out every night or starve to death. Maybe all he wanted was food, he could have it all if he would just leave.
My dad always taught me to fight, but to also be smart. I didn't know what to do so I took a deep breath and stepped around the corner holding the knife in front of me.
The man still had his head stuck in the fridge and didn't hear me as I took a few steps forward.
"I have called the cops!" I yelled which startled him causing him to bang his head in the fridge.
He let out a curse before turning around to face me, and I really wish he hadn't. He was unbelievably gorgeous. He had messy brown hair and bright green eyes, he was easily six foot. The most gorgeous thief I've ever seen, not that I've seen a whole lot of thieves.
His beautiful green eyes were wide as saucers while he took in the knife in my hand, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Who are you and why are you in my apartment going through my fridge?" I questioned him without lowering my knife.
He gave me a weird look before answering, "This is my apartment."
It took me a second to comprehend what he had just said.
"Wait a second, who are you?"
"My name is Edward Cullen, and who are you?" he was now eyeing me up and down and it was then that I realized what I was wearing, or really what I wasn't wearing.
PLEASE LEAVE ME A REVIEW! I LOVE HEARING WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO SAY THEY MAKE ME SMILE AND WRITE SO MUCH FASTER!
