Next day we hid to the basement with Meg. Rosa stayed up - playing a mermaid.

"Think about it.. Only six years left", Meg sighed.

"Six years left what?" I asked.

"Six years this drama, tense, between Elle, Joanie and us. Six years before Emm chooses one uf us", she explained. For some reason I always felt some kind of uneasy when people talked about that.

"Why it's right six years?" I wondered.

"Because of the tradition. He must be 18 years old..." Meg explained.

"Ugh, I don't know anything. You must all consider me stupid", I sighed.

"You lived your whole life in that orphanage, so that's why we - or I and Rosa - won't", Meg smiled.

"Yeah.." I muttered.

"Actually, time in that orphanage may let you to have the edge over us", Meg laughed.

"What you mean?" I wondered.

"He knows you soooo much better than the other three of us. His family barely went outside from their house, and in Brandon he apparently was with you and your friend all the time", Meg continued laughing.

"No, he's rather cheesed off with me", I realized the funny side and laughed too. Then we heard footsteps and silenced.

"Rosalie? Megan?" we heard a voice ask.

"We're here!" Meg said and we went to see, who was there. The person was Sophie.

"Rosalie! Megan! Here you are!" she sighed in relieve.

"Yes, we are. What's up?" I asked. Sophie turned to look at Meg.

"Meg, you'd forgotten you're going to Boston this year, haven't you?" Sophie reminded her.

"Damn it! Yeah..." Meg sighed.

"To Boston? What the heck?" I shocked.

"Watch your language, girls. To study in there. You're going next year with Elle and Joa", Sophie smiled. Boston was 8000 kilometres away. (4969 miles) In Massachusetts. Still don't what I'm talking about? Literally on the other side of the United States. So I wasn't going to see her in a very, very, very long time.

"Oh my..." I shook my head and ran away. I couldn't see Sophie smiling at me, possibly just happy to get me away from her for a year. With the girls, my cousins, I hated!

"No, I haven't seen her", I heard Rosa say to someone.

"Sophie's looking for her too, but I want to find her first!" next speaker was Emmett. Who were they talking about?

"If I find her..." Rosa started.

"Yes, you'll get some price!" Emm promised.

"Yayy!" Rosa laughed and started running and soon she stood right next to me.

"I FOUND HER! SHE KINDA CRIES!" she screamed. Soon Emm ran there too.

"You're alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure", I said, wiping several tears away with the sleeve of my shirt.

"I wouldn't be so sure", he muttered.

"Rosa, go inside, I'll come soon, and we'll watch 'The little mermaid' again?" I promised.

"Yayyyyy!" Rosa shouted and ran inside.

"So what's wrong?" Emm asked when she was gone.

"Nothing much. I just heard I'm going to Scotland next year - with those stupid Elle and Joanie", I muttered, suddenly more upset than sad.

"Yeah, it's another idiot tradition", Emm sighed.

"I feel so mentally defective or something, 'cause I don't know anything about these idiot traditions!" I said.

"But you're not. You don't know these things because of your past. But it IS idiot to tell you so quickly - just like that!" he admitted.

"I thought I could have years without Elle and Joanie, but no. I really kinda despise them!" I complained. Then I heard Rosa running out.

"Rose! ROSE! You promise!" she complained.

"I'm coming, Rosa!" I shouted back and sighed. "I must go, as you see", I laughed to Emmett.

"See ya later", he laughed and I walked to Rosa.

"Ok, mermaid, let's go", I said and took her hand. She was whooping her happiness.

"And we'll watch the movie and then you'll play it with me, right?" she asked.

"Well... If there's enough time, sweetie", I hesitated.

"I'll get the Triton's trident and make us to have enough time!" she said. I didn't even want to know what was "the trident". I just rolled my eyes and shook my head. She thought it was only funny.

Halfway trough the movie Sophie and Savvy called us for lunch. Rosa started pouting.

"But the movie's not over", she complained.

"We can continue later", I promised.

"Well then", she shrugged and walked to kitchen.

"Rose, would you please go and get Emmett?" Sophie asked when I looked after Rosa.

"Yeah, sure", I replied and turned around. I walked to entry, put my shoes on and walked out. I saw him sitting under a tree and I walked to him.

"Emmett", I called his name. He didn't seem to hear me. "Emmett?"

"Emmett!" I repeated louder. He flinched and turned to look at me.

"Rosalie?" he asked.

"Emmett!" I said 4th time.

"Rosalie!"

"Lunch's ready", I laughed.

"Right."

Four weeks later I was lying on the grass. Emm sat next to me and Meg was on my other side, lying on the grass too. Meg was leaving today. Going to Scotland.

"One year, and you're gone", Emmett said to me. None of us knew how right he was, when he said 'gone'.

"One hour, and Meg's gone", I said.

"I'm going to miss you both", Meg sighed.

"We're going to miss you!" Emmett said. I smiled, it wasn't usual to hear him saying something like that.

"Fifty-fifty", Meg grinned, and we all laughed.

"Meggie! Time to go!" Megan's dad shouted.

"Coming, dad!" Meg answered. We got up and walked to him and his car.

"Your stuff- in the car. Climb up, we better get going", his dad said and got to driver's seat.

"Yop", Meg sighed and hugged me quickly.

"Bye Rose, bye Emm", she sighed and I saw she was in tears - but so was I.

"Bye", I and Emm said and she climbed to her dad's car. He drove away and I felt a tear running down my cheek.

"Calm down. A school year isn't that long", Emm said quietly.

"I know... But I've got here only two real friends... One now, when she left..." I stuttered and wiped my tears away. I felt his hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me. I looked at the car as it got smaller and smaller and eventually disappeared. With Megan, who wasn't coming back soon. I turned away, his hand still on my shoudler, and blinked many times to stop crying. I had to stay strong.

Few weeks after Meg left Jeffrey had been in Seattle, getting our post. When he came back he ran to me and Emm, when we were talking in the basement.

"Rosalie, Emmett, there's a letter for both of you", he said and handed me an envelope(I was closer to him than Emm was). Then he ran up the stairs and I stared at the little envelope.

"What are you waiting for? Open it!" Emm chuckled.

"You better do it", I said and handed it to him.

"Why? You afraid it might blow up?"

"If I was, I would've opened it myself", I snapped and he opened the envelope.

"Who actually sends letters anymore?" I asked.

"Let me see... It's from Mary!" he surprised.

"WHAT?!" I shouted and took the letter from him. It said Mary missed us both, but she'd found some other friend called Catherine Carpenter. She also said we didn't need to write back, 'cause she had no time anymore.

"No time?" Emmett wondered.

"She's with that new girl, Catherine, I guess", I shrugged.

Few days after getting the letter from Mary, Jeffrey said that we were going back to Seattle.

"Really?" Emmett asked.

"Yeahh!" I shouted and felt happy. I had seen Emmett's friends only once, and they seemed nice.

After a long travel we were in Seattle. I heard Emmett on his phone.

"Where are you?" he asked. Somebody answered something.

"Yeah, we just got back... Okay... Of course!... We're there soon, bye", then he hung up and looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Come on! To Third Meadow!" he said and started walking towards the woods.

"Wait, wait, wait! Where?" I tried to slow him down.

"Third Meadow's a pretty place, and Jazz, Ed and Ali are waiting for us there!" Emm told me and I ran after him.

"Okay, let's go then!" I laughed and we walked trough the woods, talking and joking all the time. It was always so much fun with him, and I had no idea why.

"Emm! Rose!" I heard Alice shouting. I turned to look and she was running towards us.

"Ali!" I shouted.

"Hey!" she said and hugged me.

"Hey, how's going?" I asked while she got off me.

"I'm fine-" Ali started but Jasper stopped her.

"Hey, we're here too, you know..." he tried to pay our attention.

"Of course I know", I said and poked my tongue out at him. Ali laughed and Edward came over to us, too.

"Hey guys", Emm said.

So, how's this chap?

After the fourth one I'll have a break, sorry. But it's just that I've written these four chapters now for so long, that it'll take a while to get to the plot and everything I planned for this. Maybe I even cut this in part one and part two, if U know what I mean.

Please review :3
