Rose POV
Everyone left this morning. I told everyone I wanted to work on my car and have some alone time. They all believed me. Emmett was the last one to leave.
"You sure you don't want to join me at the beach, we could always go nude if you're in the mood?" he asked seductively. I smiled at him and laughed.
"Ha! I'm sure everyone there would love that but I just want to work on my car, try to get more mileage on it." I said nonchalantly.
"Ok, I love you", he said and kissed me goodbye.
"I love you Emmett", I said knowing it was the last time I would say that to him. He smiled and left.
I sat at my vanity and contemplated on writing everyone notes. I started to write one to Carlisle, but I couldn't bring myself to actually leave it. I wouldn't want them to linger on that so I scrunched it up and put it my bag. I packed as much clothes that fitted in my big suitcase, and I had a lot of cash on me. I was set to go. I heard the doorbell ring and I quickly made my way to open the door.
"So are you ready?" Leah Clearwater standing with her hand on her hip asked me.
"Yeah I am. Just wait for me in my car." I said just as annoyed.
I went back up and grabbed my purse and suitcase and the picture of my family. It was at Nessie's technically 3rd birthday and we took a family picture. I was next to Emmett and Jasper in the picture and everyone smiled radiantly. It was one of my favorite pictures, that and the one of me and Emmett. It was on our 75th Anniversary and Alice decked our Gazebo out with lights, it was beautiful. In the picture, Emmett and I are dancing and we turn to look at Alice who was taking the picture. It was another great night of ours. I was truly happy and content that night. I grabbed the picture and made my way to my car, after locking the doors to the Cullen Mansion. I threw my suitcase in the trunk and got in the driver's side, where Leah was sitting in the passenger seat. We were headed towards the harbor.
"So explain again how this is going to work", Leah asked.
"Well, I needed you to come with me, because Alice cannot see werewolves. She would know where I was heading. So are you sure your friend is going to be on the ship?" I asked changing the subject.
"Yeah I just spoke to Amy and she will be on the ship, and you can stay with her. She is doing this as a favor for me. Besides Jacob, I am the only person who will be blissfully happy to see you gone." She said rudely. I rolled my eyes.
"Which is precisely why I knew you would help me. I couldn't ask Jacob, because he wouldn't do that to Nessie. So you were my only option. As much as I don't like you and vice versa, I appreciate you helping me. ", I told her maturely.
"Yeah glad I was able to help." Leah said pleased.
" So what did you tell everyone you were doing because I know Alice knows I'm gone and now everyone is looking for me and I have a feeling they are going to ask the pack for help so what did you tell them?", I asked.
"I told them I was going to see a friend who needed me because she broke up with her boyfriend of six years. Since everyone at La Push knows I'm kind of familiar with heartbreak, they believed me." Leah said contently. I nodded.
"So what's Amy's story", I asked curiously. I needed to know this girl if I was going to live with her.
"Amy is part of a close tribe of ours. She actually lost her true love through cancer. Frank actually imprinted on her 2 days after she buried Andy. It is sad if you think about it, but it's our nature. I told them both your situation and they agreed. Of course I owe them now, but anything to get rid of you" she said smiling at me. I didn't say anything when she said that, I just started to think about my family. When she interrupted my thoughts.
"Why are you doing this though, don't get me wrong I am totally encouraging you to but I'm just curious after how many decades your finally doing this? She asked.
"Do you ever wish people would stop looking at you in pity? Do you ever feel like you keep disappointing those around you? Do you ever think of yourself as a waste? Everyone thought I would be over it by now, but the truth is that I will never be over it. When you have the whole world in the palm of your hand and then it just falls, there is no glue or tape to mend what was. You could try to fix it, but it will never be the same. When I see constant reminders of things I can never have, it just brings the worse out of me. It takes me to a place that's so dark and no one else is allowed in. I'm done with my family feeling my pity, my vanity, my bitchiness…"
Leah chuckled when I said that. I looked at her to let her know I wasn't finish and she quickly dissolved that smile.
"I'm stuck on my past after all these years, and I'm tired of my family paying for it. They deserve better, much better. Edward once said that fate had other plans for me, but this wasn't it. My fate is death, Leah…I've always believed that, I'm just finally accepting It.", I looked at Leah who looked down.
We were parked near the harbor and I saw a girl who was about 5'4, with medium length brown hair, a round face and big brown eyes. She was actually really pretty.
"Is that her?" I asked my head nudging toward the woman. Leah looked up at me, as I interrupted her thought and looked where I was nudging at.
"Yeah that's her", she said getting out of the car. I followed right behind her. As she hugged the woman.
"Amy this is Rosalie" she introduced us. Amy crinkled her nose, noticing my scent, and I did the same thing as we shook hands.
"It's nice meeting you Rosalie", she said annoyed.
"Yeah same here".
"Well Leah the ship is about to leave, we'll catch up soon, Are you ready Rosalie? she asked
I looked at her then to Leah who looked at me confusingly. I went and got my things and started to follow Amy on the boat. I told Leah to drive my car over a cliff and she would change to her were self as she headed home. Leah stayed, watching us depart and I looked at her knowing I would probably not see her for a long time if ever. I nodded as a thank you for doing all this for me, and she nodded back but her face still looked confused, as if she thought what I was doing was wrong.
Leah POV
I was running in the forest when I felt a vibration coming from my phone. It was around 1 in the morning who would be calling me. I answered the unrecognized phone number.
"Hello", I said.
"Leah its Rosalie. I need you to help me leave my family." She said hurriedly.
"Rosalie? What? Why? Explain..." I said boredly
"Alice can't see werewolves and out of all of you, I know you would help me willingly. That is all you need to know for now. Now are you going to help me?" she asked annoyed. I thought about it for a second and she was right I was happy to get rid of her and her snooty self.
"Fine what do I do" I asked.
"I need you to help me find somewhere, where no one will find me. I want to leave as soon as possible preferably tomorrow. Do you have another pack you talk to that I could possibly stay with? She asked uncomfortably. I had to think about it when Amy Lightfoot popped in my head.
"Yeah I have someone in mind but I need to call her and explain the situation. I'll call you back" I said and hung up. I dialed Amy's number.
"Hey Amy its Leah", I said.
"Leah Clearwater! How are you?" she asked surprised I called.
"I'm good, how are you?" I asked.
"Good just keeping busy, so what brings this late phone call?
"I need a big favor. I have this…..well….I don't know what to call her, she's not exactly a friend. I don't like her but she wants to leave her family and doesn't want to be found. Of course I want to help her disappear being I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore. But she's a cold one. A vampire, Amy.
"Oh, Leah I don't know…"Amy was saying
"Listen, you remember the Cullens we were talking about a few months ago, yeah she's one of them. She'll stay out of your way I don't know about the smell but she won't be that annoying and I don't think she'll stay forever but do you think you could help? I asked, hoping she would say yes.
I heard her sigh. "Hold on ", she said. I waited for a few minutes and she came back.
"Frank and I are fine with it. But you owe us, like you have no idea", she warned.
"Okay cool", I said smiling.
Amy and I talked for a few minutes more about Rosalie and how she could get here. I called Rosalie back and when she answered she sounded as if she was crying.
"What she say Leah?" she asked.
"She said you can stay with her, you leave tomorrow. There is a harbor not too far from you. She will take the boat, meet us there and ride back with you." I'm already on my way over there. I should be there before noon. Be ready when I get there." I said.
"Okay I will", she said sadly.
I hung up the phone. I called Jacob to tell him where I was going. I would makeup something because I know no one really cares what I do outside the pack and so it's pretty easy to lie to them.
"What's going on Leah?" he answered as if I was bothering him.
"Hey Jake, I'm going to a friend's, she really needs me right now I'll be back tomorrow evening." I said.
"Okay is everything alright?" he asked curiously.
" Yeah, she's having a hard time with a boyfriend who left her after 6 years, you know I seem to know a thing or two about that" I said recalling the whole Sam scenario.
"Yeah okay be careful", Jake said. I sprinted through the woods the whole time thinking why Rosalie would want to leave now after how many years. I mean I can't stand any of the Cullens but they are all tolerable but the exception was always Rosalie. Hate doesn't come close to what she feels for us. But hey, if she wants to get far from here, well it would be an honor to help.
I arrived at the Cullen Mansion, and saw only her BMW there. I rang the doorbell, impatiently for this to be over with. She answered with a deathly stare not a glare. How odd.
"So are you ready?" I said with my hand on my hip.
"Yeah I am just wait for me in my car." She said just as annoyed.
I walked to her car and sat in the passenger seat and called Amy.
"Hey Amy, we are about to head to the harbor."
"Okay I should be there the same time as you guys arrive", she said.
"See you then" I said.
"See you then", she said
As soon as I hung up, Rosalie came and threw her suitcase in the trunk and got in the driver's side. We were quiet for a while until I had to break some tension.
"So explain again how this is going to work", I asked.
"Well, I needed you to come with me, because Alice cannot see werewolves. She would know where I was heading. So are you sure your friend is going to be on the ship?" she asked changing the subject.
"Yeah I just spoke to Amy and she will be on the ship, and you can stay with her. She is doing this as a favor for me. Besides Jacob, I am the only person who will be blissfully happy to see you gone." I said intentional rudeness rolling off me.
"This is precisely why I knew you would help me. I couldn't ask Jacob, because he wouldn't do that to Nessie. So you were my only option. As much as I don't like you and vice versa, I appreciate you helping me. ", she told me maturely.
"Yeah glad I was able to help." I said flashing a sarcastic smile.
" So what did you tell everyone you were doing because I know Alice knows I'm gone and now everyone is looking for me and I have a feeling they are going to ask the pack for help so what did you tell them?", she asked.
"I told them I was going to see a friend who needed me because she broke up with her boyfriend of six years. Since everyone at La Push knows I'm kind of familiar with heartbreak, they believed me." I said contently. She nodded.
"So what's Amy's story", she asked curiously.
"Amy is part of a close tribe of ours. She actually lost her true love through cancer. Frank actually imprinted on her 2 days after she buried Andy. It is sad if you think about it, but it's our nature. I told them both your situation and they agreed of course I owe them now, but anything to get rid of you" I said smiling at her. It was true, Amy loved Andy like I had loved Sam. That's how we became close, loss being our common denominator. I saw Rosalie nod her head as if she understood. I could tell she was starting to get lost in her thoughts when I interrupted.
"Why are you doing this though, don't get me wrong I am totally encouraging you to but I'm just curious after how many decades your finally doing this? I asked.
"Do you ever wish people would stop looking at you in pity? ( Do I ever)Do you ever feel like you keep disappointing those around you?( Most of the time, yes) Do you ever think of yourself as a waste? ( not an exact waste but I guess I can see what she's saying)Everyone thought I would be over it by now, but the truth is that I will never be over it. When you have the whole world in the palm of your hand and then it just falls, there is no glue or tape to mend what was. You could try to fix it, but it will never be the same. When I see constant reminders of things I can never have, it just brings the worse out of me. It takes me to a place that's so dark and no one else is allowed in. I'm done with my family feeling my pity, my vanity, my bitchiness…"
I chuckled when she said and she looked at me fiercely showing that she wasn't finished.
"I'm stuck on my past after all these years, and I'm tired of my family paying for it. They deserve better, much better. Edward once said that fate had other plans for me, but this wasn't it. My fate is death, Leah…I've always believed that, I'm just finally accepting It.", She looked at me and I looked down.
There is obviously something I didn't know about her, something real bad if she has to run from her family that she claimed to love at one point. I didn't want to pry but I was very curious. Love and loyalty is something these Cullens are good at, I know with her leaving it will cause a rift between that family. All of sudden I felt bad for her, for them. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
"Is that her?" Rosalie asked her head nudging toward someone. I looked up.
"Yeah that's her", I said getting out of the car. She followed right behind me. It's been a few years since I've seen Amy and I hugged her.
"Amy this is Rosalie" I introduced them. Amy crinkled her nose, noticing her scent, and of course Rosalie did the same thing as they shook hands.
"It's nice meeting you Rosalie", Amy said annoyed.
"Yeah same here", replied Rosalie
"Well Leah the ship is about to leave, we'll catch up soon, Are you ready Rosalie? She asked
She looked at Amy and then to me, with a final resolution that she was leaving. Rosalie explained to drive her car over the cliff, which hurt, it was a beautiful car that she took care of well. Then I would run back home wolf form. I stayed watching their departure. Rosalie nodded to me as a thank you and I nodded back. I couldn't help but to feel like this is wrong, and I know if this was to come out, I would be in a lot of trouble. Because as usual, I'm always left with the short end of the stick.
When they were no longer in eye sight, I hopped in the car. There was a deep cliff about 200 miles from the harbor, it would be perfect to drive the car off from there. When that was done, I changed in my were form and headed back home. On the way I was thinking about if the Cullens contacted the pack, but really I was worried about what was to come next.
Alice POV
"Come on Jasper, you need new jeans", I said as I dragged him into the Diesel store. We were the first ones at the mall, I needed to hit up the sales before the noon crowd came in.
" Alice, I have enough jeans thank you very much". Jasper said bored
"Well I know but more would not kill you, plus you and Edward wear about the same size, so we could always give them to him. ", I said as I was looking through the racks. Jasper was doing the same, he looks so cute when he tries to find what I like on him. All of a sudden I had a vision. I closed my eyes and saw Rosalie sitting on her vanity looking sad. I saw her suitcase packed on the bed and she was writing a goodbye letter to Carlisle. I opened my eyes, with Jasper right next me.
" What's wrong, what did you see", he asked hurriedly.
" Rose is leaving…" I said worriedly. We ran out of the store and headed to the Porsche. Jasper was trying to call Emmett but Emmett did not pick up.
" He's swimming he doesn't have his phone", I told Jasper. I started to dial Carlisle's office, I saw Esme was with him. As I was dialing his office, I got a flash. It was Rose driving in her car, but all I saw was her hair in the wind and sunglasses on. The flash was like a second long. I told Jasper what I saw.
" That's all? Why can't you see her" he asked in a panic tone. He's usually so calm but he was panicking.
"I don't know it's like static and all I'm getting are little flashes that aren't telling me anything" I said stunned at what was happening.
We arrive at the mansion and I decided I needed to find Emmett and tell him. I told Jasper to go to Edward's and tell him. He pecked me on the lips and ran vampire speed to Edward and Bella's. I drove to the beach where Emmett was at. On the way, I thought about how I would tell him. Poor Em, it's going to break his heart and of course, he's going to feel guilty. The beach was only 20 minutes away and I parked next to his jeep. He was running out of the water and then he spotted me.
"Hey Al, you in for a swim…." he asked and suddenly stopped when he read my face. " What's wrong, where's Rose?" he asked panicked.
I sighed. "We don't know where Rose is. I saw her leave but I can't see her Em. She left. Suitcase and car is gone." I said on the verge of tears if I could cry them. His face was full of sadness and hurt.
"What do you mean she left? Why can't you see her!" he yelled.
"Emmett, stop yelling at me! I don't know!! I can't see her!" I sobbed and shouted at the same time.
We hugged each other, both of us feeling scared, and then headed back in our own cars to the mansion.
Author POV
When Alice and Emmett arrived the whole gang was inside the mansion in the living room.
"I checked with the pack and no one has heard from her", Bella said.
"Her credit cards are maxed and she didn't fly anywhere." Jasper said.
"We asked the Denali's and the other clans if she was with them and none of them have heard from her either", Carlisle said.
Everyone was standing next to their mate, with the exception of Emmett who looked around the room and noticed. At the moment, it hit him hard. He ran outside to the woods.
"I'll get him", Edward said. He ran and found Emmett screaming in anger and hurt.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Rosalie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He tore up the whole woods and Edward was scared to get in his way. He let him feel whatever he wanted, to get it out. Emmett pulled trees out of the ground and threw them so far they were out of sight. He sobbed and fell to his knees. Edward felt so horrible for his big brother, to see him in such distress was really the saddest thing he had ever seen. He held his brother as Emmett sobbed on his shoulder.
"We will find her, Emmett. Edward said confidently.
"She doesn't want to be found Edward, she's really gone. I could feel it. Last night….I thought…I thought…she was over it…..for good…but it was our last night…..our last night" Emmett sobbed even harder.
"Emmett, we have known her the longest which means we know her the best. I know she will come back. It might not be tomorrow but she will be back. ", Edward said trying to convince himself more than Emmett.
Edward wasn't sure on the time they headed back to the mansion but Bella told him they were out there for awhile. Emmett finally went to his room, the last place he saw Rosalie before she left. He stared at her vanity and walked to her closet, where she only took her favorite things. He looked on the floor and saw the little teddy bear she left behind he had given her about 50 years ago. He didn't know if she meant to leave it or if she really forgot it. He sat on the bed looking around the quiet room. He felt the anger building but had to control himself. More than anything he felt empty. He could hear Edward, Jasper and Carlisle talking about not giving up on finding her and to help him through this. The thoughts of last night were running through his mind. Her laugh, smile, touch, things he would never feel anymore.
Then it seemed like he had an epiphany. he wasn't going to give up on her. He would find her and bring her home. He didn't care how long it took, he would never stop until she was found.
Downstairs, Edward smiled hearing Emmett's thoughts and then Emmett joined their conversation.
" We will look everywhere, anywhere", Emmett said taking control. Esme, Alice and Bella entered the room hearing Emmett.
" I want the pack to help I don't care how they feel about her or us, they need to help", he continued.
"She left some of her stuff here so they can get to know her scent, and the Denali's and the other clans, everyone needs to help. I want my Rose back. Our Rose" he said looking at his brothers and his father.
They all smiled at that last line. More than anything they were all determined to bring Rosalie home, where she belonged.
