Thanks HEAPS to all the people who read the first chapter and alerted/favourite/reviewed it. It totally made my day! Here is the next chapter.
Finding Bella
Chapter 2 – Introducing non-vain Rosalie
Previously
"This new Spa-Beauty house thing doesn't exist Rose," I sigh; I thought I would have had more time to plan this. "You're going to go see Bella aren't you?"
-
I take a deep breath, even though I don't need it, habit I guess. I look down and stared Alice in her eyes. "Yes Alice, I'm going to go see Bella." Her eyes widened and she prepared to dry sob as she heard how I said her name with ease.
"But you don't even like her!"
"Look at me Alice! Haven't you seen I have changed? Do I look in the mirror as much as before? Do I care about my appearance? Bella leaving changed me too, and it pains me to say this but I miss her too! And her leaving us has teared us apart." I sighed, Alice looks so fragile and broken, but I can see she understands. "We've all changed you, Emmett, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle and especially Edward. I'm still not sure why he left, but I don't think we will ever know unless we find Bella,"
"Rose-" Alice started.
"No, Alice wait, promise me one thing, keep your mind closed and don't tell anyone," Alice nodded, "Even Jasper." She looked down.
A few moments of silence engulfed the space we were standing.
"What is it Alice?"
"I want to help," Alice said with a small voice
"You can't come! This is something I need to do myself."
"I know, I know, I can see the future you know. I was going to say that I can help you by telling you where Bella is, I do know she is in New York... I can see you with her outside a club, I think" Alice trailed off then said with a fast and low voice. "Wonder why she's there, Bella would never go to New York."
"I don't think Bella is the same as she was before she left. It's been two years imagine what that could have done to her?" I asked.
Alice didn't answer at first then said, "You know I can't see her future, she's completely blank."
I stopped myself from saying something sarcastic, "Really?"
"Oh god Edwards coming, block your mind Rose. Why didn't I see him? Must have been an instant decision." I began to sing another song in French, as Edward came and stood three meters away from myself and Alice.
"Hey, Edward." I say.
"Edward, fancy you being here. Nice Hunt?" Alice said.
"Yes, I did." Edward replied. His voice has changed in the past few years, it was once low, deep and intelligent, but now it's empty and everything he says is overly polite, forced.
"What are you doing here?" Edward asked. I was shocked, he rarely ever asks questions, the last one he asked was four months ago.
"Well Edward, Rose and I are just discussing fashion in this lovely, green, muggy environment." Alice's voice changed to disgust when she said 'muggy'.
I scoffed, that's hard to believe.
Edward walked away, after all that is about all the conversations he will engage in today, it's like he doesn't exist anymore. If he had it his way he would not say anything at all he'd just be up in his room. He only talks for Esme's benefit.
I smell a familiar scent approaching me for the second time today Emmett snaked his arms around my waste. I looked at Alice who was still standing next to me
Alice got the message and left with a "Talk to you later."
It was here when Emmett spoke, "I'm really going to miss you Rose." He is adorable when he says that.
"I'm going to miss you as well Emmett." I replied.
For some reason this didn't satisfy him enough, and Emmett put a confused and sad look on his face. He said, "You don't seem the same anymore Rosie, you don't look in the mirror as much."
I smiled at him, "Is that a bad thing Honey? You could say that I'm not as vain."
Emmett seemed to process that, I was glad that he understands, but once again a sad look came upon his face.
"I feel as if I'm losing you Rosalie, we don't talk as much as we used to, you don't tell me much anymore." Emmett's hands, now placed on his sides, patted the sides of the jeans Alice brought him, like he was searching for something in his pockets.
I took both of Emmett's hands in mine and looked into his eyes and said, "Why would you think that?" I'm sure my face mirrored the sad expression on his face, as we searched into each other's eyes.
"I think it because... You know I'm really not sure why. I just know it, something's changed Rosie, and it's not because..." Emmett paused not wanted to say Bella's name, he searched for a better word, "she is gone. I know it, I just don't know what. Do you understand me Rose?" Emmett squeezed my hands tighter.
"I understand you, but just remember this I do love you and I have not one intention of leaving you or the family, okay?" I smiled at Emmett and he thankfully smiled back.
"I love you too Rosalie." He now had a full grin plastered on his face. "How long are you going to be in New York for?" Emmett asked.
"Uhhh..." I had not been prepared for this. I would give myself two weeks; I could extend my stay, saying that the opening was delayed. "I would say about two weeks, give or take a day." I nodded to myself. "I'll call you everyday Emmett, don't worry."
"We're going to go on small holiday when you get back; I want to get acquainted to the new non-vain Rosalie." Emmett laughed.
I nod and smile, but I have something else in mind. If everything goes to plan, and I get Bella back here, I think Emmett will be much too busy getting acquainted to a certain little sister.
Please review! And if you have any ideas and/or constructive criticism I'll be very happy.
