Friend, Foe or More?

Chapter Four

When I was clear of Emmett, I went straight back to the Cullen Mansion. I walked through the front door and heard the soft mumblings of the people who lived here.

"Carlisle, you can't be serious, did you see her? She's vein, I won't share a house with someone like that."

"Edward, you need to co-operate here, no one is leaving and no one will make her feel uncomfortable." Carlisle replied honestly. It was Ironic really because I now felt unwanted. Maybe I didn't belong here. Why wouldn't I? I belonged anywhere I was pretty.

"She's gone."

"Emmett? What do you mean?" Jasper asked.

"I was with her."

"He kissed her." Edward said blankly.

"Don't do that." Emmett said to Edward.

"You just make it all the worse! You know she's not wanted and you welcome her like a mouse to cheese." Edward spat.

"Look just because you don't like the idea of someone that makes you feel intimidated under the same roof as you, does not mean we all should abide by your rules and banish her." Emmett said back in fury.

"I am not intimidated by Rosalie." Edward said. "She's just too vein and I don't like it." Edward continued.

"Stop it, both of you." Esme said. "This isn't going to solve anything."

"Now all of you listen, if any of you like it or not, Rosalie Hale is staying here, under this roof. You will learn to like it and you will learn to love her like a sister.....or more." Carlisle exclaimed and then I heard a sudden slam of a door and when I walked into the room I seen Edward was gone.

"There you are." Emmett said and smiled. Rosalie didn't look at him she just looked at Carlisle.

"I can leave if you like. I will not cause you any more pain."

"You heard? Rosalie you don't have to leave, none of us have a problem with you....other than Edward but he'll over grow that feeling in time." Carlisle said. I nodded and walked out the room.

"Hey wait." Emmett shouted to me and I didn't reply.

"Emmett son, leave it." Carlisle said, but he didn't listen. He ran after her up the staircase.

"Hey?" He asked me and I didn't look at him.

"What?" I asked coldly.

"Why have you gone so cold now?"

"This is me get used to it."

"You're not cold."

"I'm cold and vein get used to it."

"Rosalie?!" He shouted back to me as I walked into my room and closed the door. I looked around and then walked and sat on the couch. The door opened and he walked in.

"Did I say enter?" I asked now annoyed.

"No."

"So why enter, get out."

"No."

"Move!"

"Rosalie I love you." He said slamming the door shut, I thought it could of flew from it's hinges.

"Tough." I said standing up and walking away from him as he walked to me, but he got faster and he stood in front of me.

"Rosalie, I'm never going to give up you know. Get it into your head I love you and I'm not giving up so easily."

"Stop saying my name and move."

"This isn't you, you weren't like this."

"It may have escaped your attention that I've always been like this. I don't know anything but this, so please if you don't mind, move." His smile faded and when I got one last look into his eyes before he left the room I saw heart break.

Over the next week I started to feel weaker. Emmett had disappeared ever since I upset him. Edward blamed it on me and seemed like he wasn't hating me so much. Alice comforted me when I needed it and Jasper kept his distance. Esme was there when I needed a good talking too and Carlisle was there when I wanted wisdom or help. Both Alice and Carlisle tried convincing me that he would come back soon and I tried to say I didn't care in the nicest way, even though I did care. It seemed he was braking my heart the more he was away, and I couldn't show this feeling to any of them, I couldn't seem weak to them, I was vein and supposed to stay in my own false sense of security. It seemed to me that Emmett was giving me a taste of my own medicine I broke his heart now he's braking mine.

I now sat in my room all alone on the sofa. I hadn't left it for the past day and I wasn't thirsty yet. For anew born that hadn't fed for 3 days, I thought I was doing pretty well.

"Miss me?" A voice asked from behind me. When I stood up from the sofa, I saw it was Emmett. I was a little shocked, happy and angry.

"No."

"You 're much faster than before." He said and smiled. Yet he didn't approach me. "You sure you didn't miss me?"

"Positive." She said.

"You're lying." I didn't say anything I just stood there and he took a few steps towards me. We were a reasonable distance now. "So you've had no feelings for me since i've been gone. So your still angry at me?"

"Yes."

"Shocked?"

"Yes."

"Happy?"

"Yes."

"Maybe I underestimated you."

"You didn't." I said giving in. "I'm happy because your back." This satisfied him and he smiled. "I'm shocked because you left and I didn't think you would, I thought you'd just go in a tantrum and you left me on my own and now you stand there as bold as anything." I got upset now and his smile faded, he didn't realise how I would of reacted. "I'm angry at you for leaving and breaking my heart. You knew I was lying every time you asked me if I love you or had feeling for you. You knew I was lying and still you left, you knew I wouldn't give in to my heart, you knew how vein and pure I thought I was and you broke my heart." I stood breathless and he stared at me like a new chapter had entered his life or like he had been watching an emotional movie. He was across the room in a split second his hands on my face.

"I'm so sorry Rosalie." He whispered and he hugged me. I hugged him back. I had no idea why I was giving in, but over the past week I had realised how empty I was without him in my life. I realised I needed him. I finally caught on in the moment and took advantage of his arms around me and I put my arms around him back and he comforted me. "I won't do it again, I promise." He said like it was an honour to say. "I love you and I will not break your heart again." He breathed on and his head balanced on top of mine. "So you love me?" He asked ruining the moment.

"Don't push your luck." I said. "It's been barely 2 weeks." I left his embrace and walked toward the door.

"I'd give it, maybe...what another few days...a week? You'll be in my arms Rosalie."

"We'll see shall we?" I agreed, amused by his bet.

"We shall." He replied. Before I walked down the hall I turned to face him.

"I'm betting on Alice." I said and he smiled as I did and I walked off down the hall.
