sorry its taken so long, it wouldn't let me upload my documents but I found a way around it :) - enjoy. APOV
It had been 2 days since we had returned, Rosalie was trying to come through this. She had returned to normal life helped by Emmett who avoided her like the plauge. She hadn't set eyes on him since yesterday which had been a serious mistake, she had froze looking at him, not even moving, while he backed off and went hunting, he no longer stayed when she wasn't busy, trying to spare her any pain. Jasper had been working in the shadows slightly helping her when she faltered, whenever she was on the verge of breaking down he would send her a few waves of serenity and she would go on like normal. It was midnight right now, I sat with Jasper on our bed. Today Carlisle, Esme and Edward would return. I had tried to forsee how we would tell them, I know my phonecall had worried them, as I refused to tell them anything but requested they come immeadiately come home. But there were so many diffferent outcomes it was impossible to know what would happen.
"Any luck?" Jasper asked. I had also been trying to figure out what had happened in the forest but to no avail. I sighed "No, I just don't understand how this happened, I should have seen this!" He held my hand and squeezed it gently, whispering "It's not your fault" I rolled over on to his lap, "I know" he leant down and kissed my lips, sending his own personal wave of warmth.
Together we watched the sun rise on one of those rare sunny days in forks, sending rays of light around the room, bouncing off us both like a disco ball.
I caught the scent of one of us, and realised that we had been sat there for so long Emmett was back from his nightly hunt. Rosalie had spent most of the past two days in their room, so Emmett usually only stayed out at night as that was when she usually came down to see us. Although she wanted to be by herself. Jasper said that she's scared that she might come down and find us all gone.

I kissed my wife gently, and lifted her head to place it back down on the bed. I didn't need to tell her where I was going, she always knew. I loved her for that, knowing she always had my back, and I hers, partly the reason I didn't like going to places without her, she may know that I am safe, but I not knowing she is, downright terrifies me.
I came into the lounge and found Emmett just sat on the couch, he glanced my way with a small nod. Although it physically hurt to be around them with all their painful emotions, I tried spending my time with him and Rosalie, so i didn't have to use my powers, but at times like this when he would sit doing nothing wallowing in self pity, which in turn made him feel even more guilty, I couldn't help it. I sent him a wave of pride, "So anything good out there today?" he turned more eagerly "A few, well 3 deer and a grizzly bear." I smiled, normally he didn't hunt that much with all his increasing amount of trips, he knew he couldn't affect the balance of animals just around here so he usually went a few hundred miles away. "Thats great." Alice walked down behind me, as she was passing she placed her arm on his shoulder. I doubt that even she couldn't feel the difference it made it to him, when he knew we didn't hate him. I couldn't forgive him, We couldn't feel bad when we'd see Rosalie and the way she was, and know that was all down to him. Regardless of his intentions he had scarred her, something I knew all about and wasn't about to let off lightly.
I spent the day in the room next to her, keeping watch, I was her twin, and nothing else was going to hurt her, while I was around. Alice popped in between the three of us just dancing around the house trying to find something to do, everynow and then she would have a quick chat with Rose, suggesting something to do with the cars or shopping, and then bounce down to Emmett and just talk about nonsense, he wanted to talk about her, but I know Alice wouldn't carry on with the topic until the rest of the family returned.
Finally I hear the car.

I heard the car and froze, forgetting how time went so quickly for us. I reluctantly headed down the stairs, as much as I wanted to forget this, I knew that they would all want to see me and from what I gather find out exactly what had happened, which of course I was still not sure. I wasn't sure how much they knew. I reached the bottom stair as Emmett and Jasper came through from the kitchen. I blanched, I thought that I had got over reacting this way to him whenever I saw him, He cast a nervous smile my way which I had no reaction to, I was frozen it wasn't till Jasper reached me I could get a hold of myself, I glared at him, I could handle this and didn't need his help, He apologized with a small smile of his own, one that I could react positively to which he felt. Emmett on the other hand was now staring at the front door, as I had all but completely ignored him. I didn't want him to feel bad, I don't blame him, this was my fault.
Alice joined me and Emmett in the hall so Jasper could go and help the others with their bags, and ask Edward to try to not to listen to our thoughts until he had heard what had happened. Alice said thier reactions could push him over the edge. I was always hurting him, why did I have to mess everything up, Carlisle should have left me to die. "What!" I jumped slightly I had gotten lost in my thoughts I hadn't noticed that Carlisle, Esme, Edward and Jasper had returned, Jasper was looking at me sadly, while Edward had a look of incredulation on his face. I knew he couldn't help hear our thoughts but the fact that he too had gone against his word stung and yet again the self hatred in myself roared out, first Emmett now Edward, once Carlisle and Esme found out what I had thought they'd hate me too. How much longer would they let me live here, when I was tearing this family apart.

"Try not to listen to our thoughts please, something has happened which I'll explain but it's best if you hear it from me first, ok" Jasper had come out to welcome us home. "Sure" I gave him a quick hug, while we each grabbed a few bags off Esme. I walked into the house and as hard as I tried... "Carlisle, should have left me to die." I stared at her "What?" how could Rosalie think like that, what was wrong with her. She jumped slightly, and I realised she hadn't noticed us come in. I had forgotten about not hearing their thoughts and now everyone was bombarding me.
"Son, what's wrong?" Carlisle wanted to know what had happened, presuming that what I was heard was the 'bad' thing that had happened in our absence. "Edward!" I didn't expect Alice to be angry at me, I was starting to get confused at everyone's reactions. Emmett wasn't mad at me for shouting at her, and he wasn't comforting Rose either he was looking sad. And what was up with her, how could she be thinking like that, the last time she had ever openly wished for her own death was before Emmett joined the family. I looked to Jasper to try and see what everyone was feeling. I couldn't understand at first I noticed worry was actually what most people were feeling especially Esme and Jasper. And I wasn't suprised he was so worried with all the feelings flying around the room thought that wasn't his reason for being worried, from his point of view I could sense Rosalie. Rosalie and all the pain ripping through her, I felt destraught, I almost couldn't bear it, I quickly got out of his head, and the feeling's dissapeared not completely but thankfully enough so I could get a hold of myself. "Jazz" Alice whispered he quickly reigned in Rose's feelings, I felt awful I don't know what had happened but I had somehow made her feel terrible and with her Jasper. No one moved in an akward silence, as Rosalie shut off her mind, whilst everyone else pondered what had happened in the minute we had arrived. I was really starting to worry what had occurred in our absence. It was Alice that broke the silence "We all need to talk" at the small glance she threw Emmett along with his internal cursing I could guess that he wanted to avoid this 'talk' more then anyone.
