"What in particular do you want me to spill about, Rose?" I asked her.

"What is it that you know about me and my family?" She asked with a serious expression.

"Well I know that you Rose, are gorgeous, bitchy and love cars; Emmett, is scary looking but is really an overgrown teddy bear; Alice, is a pixie that needs to chill out and calm down; Jasper, is the quiet, calm and collected type and also the history buff of the group; Carlisle, is a doctor and looks too young to have a bunch of teenagers; and Edward is a compulsive liar who needs to grow up." I finished my brief summing up of thier character traits.

"And..." She added raising an eyebrow. I knew she wouldn't be happy with me leaving it at that.

"You all have the same strange eye colour without being related, your skin is cool and hard, I've yet to see any of you eat or drink anything and as demonstrated today by Edward you're freakishly fast and strong." She stared straight ahead with no expression on her face.

"What does all that conclude to you?" She asked with out looking at me.

"That's easy, you have a secret." I simply stated.

"You're not going to ask? You're not even slightly curious?" She asked as she turned to face me.

"It's your secret." I told her. "If you ever feel that you trust me enough, for you to tell me, just know that as your friend I will listen without judging you, and I will never tell anyone anything should you ever tell me." She nodded her head in aknowledgement then returned to facing forward keeping her face expressionless. I turned the key to start the truck and pulled out of the school car park to head to the Cullens house.

It wasn't long until we arrived at the Cullens and Rosalie had yet to speak a word to me. The garage door had been left open for us so I drove the truck straight in. Without saying a word Rosalie exited my truck and walked through the door into the house; not knowing what else to do I followed her in. I followed her into the living room where the others were all sat on various couches and chairs. Edward was looking at Rosalie intently and I noticed that, if I concentrated really hard, his lips were minutely moving; he was obviously reading our conversation in her mind and relaying it to the others. My suspicions were confirmed when they all turned to look at me.

"Do I have something on my face?" I asked no one in particular.

"Why would you ask that?" Alice answered my question with one of her own.

"Well I figured that might be the reason you all decided to suddenly stare at me." I told them.

"Stop being rude and stop staring at our guest." They were interupted from their continued staring by who I presumed to be Esme.

"You must be Mrs Cullen, I'm Bella Swan." I introduced myself and held out my hand to shake hers. She looked slightly nervous about taking my hand in hers; once she did her face turned to shock at my lack of reaction. I could never be rude enough to react negatively to Esme.

"Ah you must be Chief Swans daughter, well it's a pleasure to meet you, and please call me Esme."

"Thank you it's nice to meet you too, and yes Charlie's my dad." I told her. "And can I just say Esme that you have a beautiful home."

"Oh thank you dear, you are welcome anytime. Now may I ask why you are not all in school?" We quickly filled her in on the events of this morning.

"Oh my! Are you sure you are ok Bella?" Esme asked full of motherly concern for me already even after only just meeting me.

"Of course I am, after all it was Edward that needed to go to the hospital in the end, not me." I answered her with a grin. I heard a low growl coming from the direction of where Edward sat sulking. I had to hold in the giggles at the look Esme quickly shot him; she may not have really been his mum but she certainly had THE mum look.

"So what are your plans for the rest of the day?" Esme asked.

"Well me and Jazzy are going shopping!" Alice said excitedly, Jasper looked less than pleased.

"Of course you are dear." Esme laughed.

"I'm going to try and break my high score." Emmett announced as he pulled out a games consule from a hidden drawer in the tv cabinet.

"Me and Bella are going to work on her truck." Rosalie said. Esme turned to see what Edward planned to do with his unexpected day off but he was interupted by a growl.

"Who was that?" Esme spun around watching all her 'children'. The growl came again and it quickly became apparant that it wasn't any of the vampires in the room but the human. It was quite amusing that she was ready to tell off one of the vampires when it was me growling, or more accurately my stomach.

"Oh dear you must be hungry. Let me make something for you before you start work on your truck." Esme fussed.

"Esme don't put yourself out I'll be fine I promise." I told her.

"Nonsense I'm not going to let you starve." She argued back. "How does some sandwiches sound?"

"That would be great, thank you."

As soon as the words were out my mouth Esme flitted off to the kitchen to prepare my food. Whilst she was in the kitchen Alice left dragging Jasper with her and Edward announced that he was going to his room. I sat silently with Rosalie watching Emmett play his game. It wasn't long before Esme returned with some sandwiches, chips and a drink for me. Whilst I ate she questioned me on my life, living in Phoenix with my mum, and how it differed to living with Charlie. I noticed Rosalie was paying more attention to our conversation than to Emmett on his game; both she and Esme wore frowns when I explained that Renee was more the child than the parent. Once I was finished eating and had lost the argument with Esme about me washing the dishes as I'd been the one to use them, I made my way to the garage with Rosalie. We had been working almost in silence, only speaking when neccesary, for a while; I'd had enough.

"Rose should I just go home?" I finally asked her.

"What? Why did you ask that?" She asked without even looking at me.

"Well you've given up speaking to me, so if I make you uncomfortable being here I'll just leave." I told her.

"No your ok. I've just got to get my head around some stuff that's all." She told me.

"Well if you ever need to talk I'm here for you." I told her honestly.

"I know." She finally looked at me. "I want to trust you Bella, believe me I do. What you have to understand though is that I find it very difficult to trust people." I nodded in understanding. I knew what she'd gone through before her change, so it was completely understandable that she had trouble trusting new people. We carried on working through the afternoon in near silence, until it was time for me to go home and make dinner for Charlie. As I drove away from the Cullens I lit a cig and wondered if I had revealed I knew too much to Rosalie. I couldn't help but wonder if this would change things. I guess only time would tell.
