Chapter 2! I'm not really gonna focus on this story much; I'm focusing mostly on my other story. I'm really sorry for deleting the Breaking Dawn story it's just that I didn't really like it that much and I really wanted to focus on the other one so I'm really really sorry.
2. Descriptions
Uh-oh,
Spotted, the trendy trio reunited but it doesn't seem like Rosy and B are too happy about it. Stay tuned.

BellaPOV
Rosalie just stood there glaring at me. Alice pulled her along and she sat in front of me while Alice grabbed a chair to sit in between us. I smiled innocently at her. Alice squealed and clapped. The trio was back but not completely. Rose stared out the window and ignored my existence.
"OMG! The trio's back together! I'm gonna go get a latte. You guys just catch up," she said then went skipping to the counter. Finally Rose leaned in to talk.
"Do you honestly think you could go back here like nothing happened?" Her voice was raged with anger.
"Rose, I said I'm really sorry but I honestly did nothing," I emphasized the nothing. I tried to fight back the tears.
"You did nothing!? Bella you made my mom leave my family!" She tried to keep her voice low not trying to attract attention. I finally sighed in defeat. I recalled that night in her house. I didn't want to go back to the penthouse knowing that Charlie would throw a fit if I came back drunk. Rosalie and I were singing show tunes on the way back to her house.
Flashback:
Rose set me down on her couch and laughed.
"Okay, Bella, you're going to stay here," she said then went walking away. I sat on the couch and played with a piece of my hair. Then I suddenly heard footsteps coming.
"Bella?" Mr. Hale stepped in a little confused.
"Oh Hey Mr. Hale! Woooh!" My head started to feel real dizzy. He walked up behind me and caressed my back. I was singing and dancing when there was no music. I suddenly felt cold lips on my back. I tried to shove him away but he started kissing me.
"No! What are you doing?" My head was aching I just wanted to go to bed. He pulled me down the couch and pounded me to the ground. I screamed and tried to push away but he was too strong. Then suddenly the door opened.
"Simon!" Mrs. Hale screamed.
End of Flashback
Tears started streaming down my face. Rosalie pursed her lips and glared at me.
"Rose, I…It wasn't" I was in a loss of words. I started to sob.
"If nothing really happened then why'd you leave?" She asked.
"I just couldn't take it, it was the first thing I thought of doing. I would never do anything to hurt you Rosalie. You're my best friend," my voice was croaked. She scoffed.
"Yeah right Bella. From what you did you're not even my friend at all. Look, I can't seeing you and if you intend on staying let's just say this won't be the best year of your life," she her bag and headed for the door then turned around to say one more thing.
"And one more thing, I never really did say thanks for ruining my family," she screamed at my face. I rubbed my tears away when Alice came back.
"Where'd Rose go?" She asked.
"I…She said she needed to go somewhere," I said while looking down.
"You okay?" Her voice sounded worried.
"Ye…yeah. I'm fine. Perfect in fact," that was a lie. I wasn't perfect, I was miserable. What I had done to Rosalie haunted me for over a year. Leaving Forks was definitely a mistake; coming back on the other hand is another story.
"Alice, I'm not feeling so good. I think I'm gonna go back home and rest a little bit. I'll see you tomorrow," I said while standing up and grabbing my latte.
"Wait, Bella!" I turned around and saw her coming after me. "Why don't you come over later? You've missed so much! And Carlisle and Esme would love to see you again!" She exclaimed. I nodded slowly and she squealed and went back to get her latte. I went to my car as quick as I could. I fidgeted with the keys first then entered. As soon as I entered the car I laid my head back on the seat and sobbed. I put my hand over my eyes and continued to cry. Why did this hurt me so much? I did nothing. I turned the engine on and drove off slowly. When I arrived at home I got a big tub of Ben & Jerry's and headed towards my room. I put on black sweat pants and a big LFHS Spartans shirt. I went straight to my bed and turned on the TV. I watched reruns of the OC and Hannah Montana. I was desperate to watch anything. I finished the ice cream and started flipping through the channels aimlessly. I suddenly felt light headed and fell asleep. I suddenly heard my phone ringing. I picked it out of my night stand and held it to my ear.
"Hello?" My voice was croaked.
"Bells? Where are you? I thought you were coming over? Anyways, we set up an extra plate for you here. Gotta go, see you in a few," she put down the phone. I put my phone back on the night stand and checked the clock. It was 6:30 in the afternoon. I got off my bed and went straight to my closet. I picked out a strapless top and faded jeans and put on brown cowboy boots. I grabbed my other trench coat from my closet and my bag and headed out my room. Charlie had just arrived.
"Oh hey Bella," he walked over and kissed my forehead. "How was the visit?" he asked.
"Fine," I lied. "I'm heading off to Alice's and I'm not eating dinner here. I won't be out late," I said before grabbing my keys and heading out the door. I quickly went to the parking lot and went inside my car. I drove slowly out of the building and headed towards the freeway. Alice's house or should I say mansion was not really in the boundaries of Forks. I turned in the right directions I clearly remembered and stopped in front of the big white mansion. Her house was the same as always. It was modern and with big windows. I quickly ran up the door and rang the door bell. As soon as the door opened, I felt tiny arms around my waist.
"Yeah! You arrived!" She screamed. I patted her softly on the back and stepped back.
"Nice to see you too?" I said. She dragged me into the house and Esme came to hug.
"Bella it's nice to see you again," she hugged me softly then let go. I smiled slightly.
"Hey Bells!" I looked over at Emmett who was concentrating on his Guitar Hero game.
"Hey Emmett," I said. Alice dragged me to the kitchen. Carlisle was stirring some sauce on a bowl.
"Bella!" He stopped stirring and walked over to hug me. "It's nice to see you again," he said.
"Nice to see you again too Carlisle and all of you," I nodded towards Esme's direction. Alice definitely treated me like family. I was like their adopted daughter. They were all smiling at me then suddenly Emmett barged in.
"Woohoo! I won! Where's the food!? We need to celebrate my victory!" He said then grabbed a Rice Krispies from the cupboard.
"Emmett McCarty Cullen! Put that down you'll spoil your dinner!" Esme pointed a finger at his son and Emmett put the Rice Krispies down and rose up his hands in surrender. We all chuckled.
"Well dinner's ready! Alice can you go all Edward and tell him dinners ready," Carlisle suggested.
"'Kay," Alice skipped off to go upstairs. Esme pulled me along to the dining table. Emmett was already set holding his utensils in hand. Carlisle put a chair for me and I sat down.
"Thank you, Carlisle," I said.
"You're welcome," he flashed me a warming smile. Alice suddenly arrived skipping to sit by my side. Following behind her was the same boy at the administrator's office. He ran a hand through his tousled bronze hair and dragged his feet. He was wearing a gray flannel shirt with black sweat pants.
"Oh! I believe Bella hasn't met Edward!" Esme exclaimed. Alice pulled me up in front of him. He gave me the most heart breaking crooked smile I'd ever seen.
"Bella do you remember my brother I was telling you about? He studied in boarding school for the past years and moved back here to finally stay with us. Bella, this is Edward," we shook hands and I blushed. His name was Edward. Just looking at him made me want to hyperventilate. He walked up to take a seat in front of me. Esme arrived with the pasta and the sauce. Emmett started digging in first but Esme slapped him on the hand and suggested I go first since I was the guest. While eating I would make quick glances at Edward. Edward would stare at me at some point then go back to eating. Alice explained the gossip that happened through the past year.
"So, Bella why did you leave Forks?" Carlisle asked interrupting Alice's never ending ranting. I was afraid they would ask that. I hadn't really thought of a good lie that would convince of my leave. I looked down and started talking.
"Well…I…There were some family issues regarding Renée not being able to see me most of the time and Charlie being selfish and everything and I got tired of them fighting all the time so I decided to, you know, leave," it was hard for me to lie to Alice and her family. They treated me like their own, like I was a part of them. I looked up to see Edward looking straight at me, interested in my 'story'.
"Really," Esme said before taking a bite from her pasta. I nodded slowly.
"Why didn't you tell anyone this happened? I mean, you left Forks all of a sudden! No one heard from you in about a year, Bella! Everyone in school went crazy! They all started sending tips to Gossip Girl saying that you're either pregnant or dead or something," he said with food in his mouth. I glared at him.
"Well it's just really hard to explain that's all…it's…it's kind of a family thing so…" Carlisle suddenly cut me off.
"Bella, if you don't want to tell us it's okay. We're not forcing you and it's your decision anyway. The important thing is you're already here," he smiled. Thank you, Carlisle. I smiled slightly and then took a bite from my plate. After we all finished we all headed to the living room to play some video games per Emmett's request. I sat down on the couch next to Alice, who was reading a fashion magazine.
"You still got those Guitar Hero skills, Bella?" Emmett asked. I was pro at Guitar Hero. I beat Emmett's score all the time. I stood up and grabbed the guitar from him.
"You bet," I gave him one quick smile and started playing. At the end of the game everyone clapped but Emmett. I looked over at Emmett, whose mouth was hanging open and gave him a smug smile.
"Told you I still got it," I handed him the guitar and went to stand beside Alice. She gave me a small high five. Just as Emmett was about to slide Edward came over to him and took the guitar.
"Mind if I try?" He asked while holding the guitar in his hand. Emmett started bursting out in laughter and so did Alice. What was so funny?
"Edward, do you even know the rules of Guitar Hero?" Alice said in between her giggles. He glared at her but ignored her assumptions and slipped the guitar on. When he started playing, we all stared in awe. He was really good. Even better than me! When the song ended, ending his game too we all waited for his score. He beat me! Emmett and Alice pursed their lips and glared at Edward. We were silent for a while. He handed the guitar back to Emmett and went to stand beside the couch. He put his hands in his pockets and rocked back and forth on his heels. He suddenly stopped and looked at us.
"What are you guys waiting for?" He asked. Alice took a pillow from the couch and threw it at him.
"Hey! What was that for?" He chuckled.
"I thought you said video games weren't aloud in boarding school?" Alice asked. Emmett's mouth was still hanging open.
"Yes, they aren't. But I never said that they weren't aloud in your friend's house," he raised his eyebrow. We all laughed except Emmett. I looked at my watch to check what time it was. It was 10 minutes to 9. I had to be getting home, not that I wanted to leave.
"Well, I think I better get going. We still have school tomorrow," I said while grabbing my coat and bag off the couch.
"Awww…do you have to?" Alice whined. I nodded my head and headed for the door.
"Say thanks to Carlisle and Esme for me," I said before heading to my car. I went inside my car and started the engine. Alice, Emmett and Edward were looking out the window waving; I waved back at them and started driving off to the freeway. Traffic was gone by this time so it didn't take me long to get to the penthouse. When I arrived Charlie was watching ESPN.
"Hey Dad," I walked up to him on the couch and kissed his cheek.
"Hey Bells. How was dinner?" He asked them took a sip from his coke.
"We had pasta and we played Guitar Hero," I said.
"Oh, okay. Don't stay up too late, Bells. You've still got school tomorrow," he said. I headed off to my room and went to my closet to get my pajama bottoms and a tank top. I quickly headed off to my bathroom and took a quick shower. I went back to my room to fix my stuff for school the next day. I put together my books and pens and…where was my notebook? I looked around for it then found it on the bottom of my nightstand. I picked it up then a small picture fell out of it. I looked at it then sighed. It was a picture of Alice, Rosalie and I smiling happily. We were all best friends but from the current situation I wasn't sure if Rosalie felt the same way. I quickly put the picture in drawer and headed under the covers. I quickly fell asleep after 5 minutes of thinking. I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow.
Another day another dollar. Rise and shine everyone don't wanna be late for school. Now as you've seen or heard B is back in town! But it doesn't seem like bestie Rose is too happy 'bout it. Hmmm… stay tuned!

"Good Morning Forks! It's 107.9 Cayton Hit radiooooo. It's time to get up and get ready 'cause to today is going to be a blast!" I woke up to the annoying radio alarm clock. I stood up and paced around the room for a while. I went to my closet and found my uniform and dropped it on my bed. I took a quick shower and headed out the bathroom with only a towel on. I put on my uniform first then looked at the mirror to fix it. Our uniforms weren't that bad compared to other private schools. We had a navy blue skirt that had to be lifted up to the waist with pleads. We had to tuck in a white polo with sleeves and tie a thin ribbon around the collar. I wore hot pink stockings under the skirt and matched it off with black velvet pumps. I took out my thin yellow headband and wore it letting my slightly curled hair flow. I grabbed my green trench coat, my navy blue bag and my school stuff and headed out my room. Charlie was eating a heavy breakfast today.
"Morning Bells," he said while chewing on his pancakes.
"Good morning Ms. Swan," Brietta said.
"Good morning everyone," I walked up to get a piece of bread from the table and gulp down a glass of water.
"Aren't you gonna eat?" Charlie asked. I wasn't really in the mood to eat.
"Uhhh…no. I'm gonna be late for school so see you later," I kissed him on the cheek then headed out the door. I quickly headed off to my car. I put my things on the passenger seat and started the engine. I arrived at school with everyone holding their phones to their faces, probably updating on the latest gossip. I grabbed my things and stepped out of the car. On the way to my locker people were giggling and calling me whore. They whispered things to their friends and stared back at me. I wonder why? It was partially my first day and I hadn't even done anything. When I opened my locker my phone suddenly buzzed.
To: Bella
Fr: Gossip Girl
Press save to see picture.
I quickly pressed save and gasped at what I saw. It was a picture of me wearing a bikini hugging pole with the background of a bar! This photo was obviously photoshopped. This photo was taken 3 years ago in Rosalie's house when we were having a pool party. The subtitle said 'Looks like B enjoyed herself in San Fran' I snapped my phone shut and pursed my lips. Suddenly Alice came and gave me worried look.
"Uh, Bella," she said. She opened her mouth to say something but I stopped her holding up my hand.
"Alice, don't say anything. I did not join a strip club," I said. I turned around and stalked toward Rosalie's locker. She had obviously done this. She had all the pictures. I turned around the corner and saw Rosalie with her two 'minions', Jessica and Lauren. I walked up to her and folded my arms across my chest.
"Rose, can I talk to you alone," she looked at Lauren and Jessica and they left to go their lockers.
"What is with you? I know you did this 'cause you had the photos," I told her.
"What are you talking about, B?" She smiled trying to act innocent.
"Rose, I don't know what's wrong with you. I know you photoshopped the photos and sent them to Gossip Girl," I said while looking down.
"What if I did? What are you gonna do about it?" I stared down, not knowing what to say to her.
"If you're trying to ruin my reputation, do whatever you wish. But I don't know how this is going to benefit you," I snapped. I know very well what she was trying to do. She couldn't stand seeing me happy.
"Bella you destroyed my perfect family and seeing you happy just makes me sick, but seeing you miserable definitely benefits my joy. I'm disappointed by you Bella. After all those years you still don't know me," she chuckled. What was she talking about?
"What are you talking about?" She stepped closer.
"You know very well I don't let anyone go down without a fight," I gulped. I wasn't going to fight back at her knowing that it will get worse. I definitely knew that the war had just begun.
