AN: I don't own twilight
I got the New Moon Score! It's beautiful.
Sorry, this chapter is short, but I'm going to be continuing to update frequently through out this weekend.
Chapter 11
When I finally began to listen to Alice and Emmett's drunken rant the conversation's topic was far from Bella and I and our new found friendship.
I looked at the clock on their cable box, it was 11:43. I decided it was time to depart so I wouldn't be tired on my lunch with Bella.
"I'll see you guys later," I announced, standing and stretching, not entirely sure how long I was dazed thinking about the past.
"You're leaving?" Rosalie asked. She was probably the only one that heard me due to Emmett's blaring rap music; despite him being the only one who specifically liked the genre, he wouldn't let us listen to anything else in his presence.
"Yeah, I have to take care of a few things early tomorrow," I explained, not sure if she remembered that I had a date with Bella.
Rosalie looked around at Jasper, Alice, and her husband, letting out a sigh, probably noticing how intoxicated Emmett had actually gotten. She put down her magazine I hadn't noticed she was reading instead of participating in the 'party' and began to walk me out of the house.
"I shouldn't have let Emmett get so wasted," she said once we were outside her front door.
"Emmett tends to do that from time to time, it doesn't help that Alice helps him play bartender," I replied, trying to lighten the mood. I began to wonder why Rosalie was walking me out to my car. We weren't very close, so we very rarely spent time talking one-on-one.
"So, Rosalie, what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked, getting to the point, I knew that's how Rosalie preferred things to happen.
"I just wanted to let you know... even though I don't do this sort of thing, I wanted to tell you that I support your relationship with Bella." That was out of Rosalie's normal behavior, she didn't usually pay attention enough about my relationships to form a real opinion- except when it came to Jessica, there were plenty of opinions there. "The truth is, I find it ridiculous for Emmett and Alice to be offended that you want to spend time with her. Frankly, I don't think it's our business who you spend time with. Plus, if you being with Bella prevents you from being with girls like Jessica, well then that's a bonus." Like I said, plenty opinions about Jessica.
"Thanks Rosalie," I said, a little relieved that someone besides my always loving mother was on my side.
"No problem, little brother," she hugged my shoulder and began to walk away. Then, she turned back to face me. "Oh, and have fun with Bella." She gave a wink and then went walking back into her house.
I got into my Volvo and made my fifteen minute drive to my apartment. Sleep sounded sweeter then, but before I passed out completely, I carefully set the alarm on my phone; I wouldn't miss time with Bella. I wondered when I would actually get the answers I was searching for, how close I was to the truth, but now I would settle for the time I was given.
