Disclaimer: I want to own Twilight but I don't. I do own some abusive parents who are mentioned in this chapter (Hint, hint!)
A/N: This would've been up a few days ago but I had to go out with my family and my dad's friends two days ago then my internet was off all day yesterday and I only got 5 minutes of internet when I went to the beach but obviously I had nowhere near enough time to type it up and post it! If child abuse scares you skip the flashback.
Why Me?
Chapter 7 - Rosalie and Jaspers Past
Previously
"Well, anyway my turn!" I sang. "Rosalie what is your family like and what are your parents like?" Alice and Rosalie looked scared. "What've I done wrong now?" I asked.
"Um, Rosalie I think we should tell her." Alice said to Rosalie.
"Tell me what?" I asked I was honestly confused.
"Bella, come with me. Jasper and I have a story of our own to tell." And with that Rosalie grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs.
"Jasper, it's time to tell Bella."
"Tell me what?" I was honestly confused what were they talking about?
"Well Bella, Jasper and I have our own story just like you have yours. Jazz do you want to tell her or shall I?" Rosalie asked Jasper. I took this time to look at Jasper and noticed that he looked like he wanted to punch someone when Rosalie mentioned their story. "I guess I'll tell it then."
(A/N I figure the best way to describe this is switch to Rosalie POV and do it as a flashback)
Rosalie POV
Flashback
I had just turned 10 when a man came to the orphanage Jasper and I were staying in. The man said that he had something for me then he gave me a note. I will always remember what that note says
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please look after our babies. We would love to be able to keep them but I am only 17 which makes it difficult for me to raise them because I have to go to school. We would love for the girl to be called Rosalie and the boy Jasper and they must always know that their surname is Hale. It must NEVER be changed. When they turn ten give them this note but until then tell them their parents love them very much and that their parents miss them.
C + R
The letter was given to us the same day that we were adopted. At first they were nice they let us go out play and make friends. But the day we turned 13 all of that changed. We would be locked in the attic if we ever went out, beaten if I ever so much looked at a boy and Jasper ever looked at a girl. Eventually I worked up the courage to go out and buy a cell phone. I knew it would get me locked in the attic but I made sure Jasper came with me for my plan to work. I snuck my cell into the pocket of my jeans as we were carted up the stairs to the attic. After I had heard the door lock and the footsteps of our foster mom going down the stairs I called Child Services. They came and when they found us we were so thin you could see our ribcages and we were beaten black and blue. We got taken back to the orphanage when we were told a couple wanted to come and adopt two children of the same age. That's where we first saw Carlisle and Esme, being the kind people they are they adopted us and we came home and met our new family.
Flashback end
Bella POV
By the time Rose had finished talking she was crying and collapsed into Emmett.
"Oh, Rose I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm sorry." I apologized over and over again.
"Izzy, stop apologizing it's not your fault you didn't know." Rose said between sniffles.
"I think I should go now. Bye guys." And that was when I remembered that I didn't have a car. "Um, Ali."
"You want a lift home?" Alice said cutting me off.
"Yeah, I think I'll save telling my parents about my tormenting at school for another time." And with that Alice and I were out the door and on our way to my house.
"Thanks for the lift Ali," I said to Alice when we got to my house. "Do you want to come in and meet my parents? Considering that I've met yours." I asked.
"Yeah why not!" Alice said hopping out of her car.
"Mom, Dad, I brought someone I want you to meet." I shouted as I walked through their front door.
My mom walked round the corner with an apron on.
"Mom, this is Alice, Alice this is my mom Renee." I introduced them to each other.
"Hello Mrs Swan it's nice to meet you." Alice said.
"Same to you but one thing call me Renee Mrs Swan is her dads mother and I'm not that old!"
Alice giggled and said "Alright Renee!"
"Well, Alice are you gonna stay for a bit?" Renee asked.
"No, I've got to get home and look after my foster sister we were talking and it brought back some painful memories for her and her brother. Bye Bella!" Alice explained.
"Bye Ali!" I waved as she drove off.
"So Bella, did you make any friends?" Mom asked.
"Yeah I did Edward and Alice Cullen who are twins their big brother by six months Emmett Cullen and Rosalie and Jasper Hale." As soon as I said Rosalie and Jaspers names Renee ran away and I briefly saw tears.
What was that all about?
A/N: Why did Renee run away crying? Any guesses? I might not be able to post for a while because the country where I live has a tropical storm warning and it normally means we lose electricity which means no internet! (Insert dun, dun, duns here!) Till next time.
