-Chapter 3-
Bella's POV
He just disappeared right in front of me! This was just too weird. Why did I even do this? Oh yeah, because I'm a stupid girl who has nothing better to do with her time. I'm such an idiot.
I have one day to figure out precisely what I'm going to wish for. What do I want? Money? Power? Stay young forever? What do I long for? I don't know. Well, I guess I've always wanted a friend. A good friend. Someone who would actually talk to me and keep me company. Just someone to do stuff with. Is that a waste of a wish? Trading my soul for friendship? I am feeling even more lonely than ever, so I guess it's not a complete waste.
What if I wished him to serve me? Would that be good? Then he would actually command to my every demand. So, I basically get multiple wishes. I guess if I wish for him to serve me, I would be cheating the 'One Wish Only' rule. Him becoming my servant doesn't seem too bad. I have no one else to talk to, no one to go with me anywhere, no one to fetch me something if I'm incapable of doing something and et cetera.
Did I ever mention that Rosalie doesn't even pay attention to me? Rosalie's my older sister. She's currently twenty-four years old and she doesn't live with me. She lives in an apartment across from town. She's never home either. She's like mom and dad; always at work. I'm the odd one out of the family, though. I don't focus my entire life on just working. Then again, I don't even have a job. All I ever seem to do is read books and write.
Just then, the telephone rang. I ninja jumped over my bed to the bedside table and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Bella?" A sad voice came from the other end.
"Rosalie?" I asked. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" She never called me before.
"No, nothing's okay. Emmett broke up with me and I don't feel like going to work or staying home alone. Can I come over for a few nights?" She sounded so desperate and I felt bad for her.
"You don't even have to ask. Come now, the guest room's free for you to use." I said, curving my eyebrows in a worried expression.
"I'm sorry, Bella." Her voice cracked.
"For what?" I questioned, confused.
"I-I'll talk to you when I get there. Thirty minutes." She stammered.
"That's fine, hurry over. We'll talk." Then I hung up.
Suddenly, a huge realization came to me. I forgot the demon is supposed to be here tomorrow. What will happen if Rosalie sees him? What will she think? She knows I'm not the kind of relationship person.
I flung myself on my bed and buried my face in my pillow. I'm so screwed.
-Later on-
Rosalie arrived right on time. Her cheeks are stained with black mascara that got smudged from her tears. Her hair was so messy and she was still in her work outfit. A mini skirt and a white shirt.
She put all her belongings in the guest room and met me in the living area. She held her head low and now her hair was up in a bun.
"Tell what happened." I offered.
She set herself on the single seat chair and held her knees closely to her chest.
"He yelled at me today." She whispered, shakily.
"Why?" I frowned.
"He said that I'm never home; that it doesn't feel like we're in a relationship." A tear escaped her eye. I wanted to reach out and hug her but I was too afraid.
"And then he broke up with you?" I asked, incredulously.
"Yeah. He didn't even want to try to fix anything. He just said he was done with me." She shrugged, wiping her teary eyes with her wrist.
"It's okay, Rosalie. If it wasn't meant to be, then it's better to know now so you can prepare yourself for the right guy." I attempted to make her feel better.
She laughed a little and shook her head.
"What?" I half-smiled at her.
"I forgot how much of a good sister you are. And-and I'm sorry. Sorry for being such a terrible sister. I was just so caught up with my own life that I neglected my family. This is unforgiveable." She said.
I was shocked at her words.
"I'm always here for you." I smiled and went to hug her.
"I think that I'm going to go to my room. To calm myself down." She rose from the seat.
"Okay, I'll be down here." I told her. She nodded.
I felt horrible for Rosalie. Now I knew that she really was sorry for not being there for me. And I will forgive her. After all, I only have one sister.
Now, there was still the problem with the demon.
And I had no idea how I'll be able to hide him from her.
