Rose dropped by my house after the girls went to school with Jase and Braylen.

"Hey, ready to go?" Rose asked me.

"Yeah, let's go." I said. We took Rose's car. She drove .

"How are the girls? The boys?" She asked questions like that the whole way to the music store.

It was easy, talking to Rose. She didn't pry. She didn't ask much and figured you would tell her something if you want to and are ready. I loved that about Rose.

We walked into the music store.

"Let's see." I said looking at some cd's. I pulled one out. "These people are good." I hung onto it. I pulled out a few more. "These people are really good to."

"I am updating you're music Rose." I teased her as I set them in the basket.

"That is fine with me. I just hope these people sing as good as you." She teased.

"I don't know. Depends on how you look at it." I answered.

"You do know we didn't leave by choice Bella. Edward left to protect you from what he was. He didn't want you're life thrown away for him." Rose said suddenly.

I didn't comment but pulled out a few more cd's. "I don't know Rose. I don't think he loves me. He never really did. I think he just wants to be my friend." I finally said. From the visions I have been having lately, it seems like he wanted to be my friend. "It never made sense for him to love me. I was human. Even now."

"Bella you are so much more than you see." Rose said. We moved onto easier subjects. "He never thought that."

"That's what he said when he left Rose." I pointed out.

"He did? What did he tell you when he left Bella?" She asked.

"He never told you?" I wondered.

"No. He never mentioned it." She said.

"He said we should take a walk. He led me slightly into the woods, I could still see the house. He said that it was time for yo all to leave and I needed to stay with Charlie. He said I wasn't good enough for him and he didn't love me. That he never did." I summarized quietly.

"He said that?" She asked doubtfully.

"He did." I answered.

"Than let me ask you this. After how many times he said he loved you, why did you believe four words other wise?" She wondered.

"Because he meant it. I am sure he did. Why would he have said it if it wasn't true?" I wondered.

"To protect you." She shook her head. "He was foolish. He thought by leaving and lying to you we would be protecting you form our world. The world no one thought you belonged in, until you left. He went back to find you, you know?" She asked.

"He's been looking for you for the last fifty nine years." She ended the conversation.

When we left the music store, I had gotten Rose at least twenty cd's. We went and saw a movie then to a few different stores and then she took me home.

I had a lot of fun with Rose, except for the Edward subject.

It was a fun day. And Rose had a huge music collection at the end of the day.

{{{{A.N. BELLA DOESN'T WANT TO THINK OF WHAT ROSE SAID. SHE DOESN'T EVEN REALLY THINK OF THE SUBJECT THE REST OF THE NIGHT, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. IT WAS ESME'S TURN WITH BELLA.
