Disclaimer: Don't own Twilight!
My exams are over (for now…) and I had the urge to write! :D
(I tend to write more when I'm stressed or sad though, so it's not necessarily a good thing…)
Sorry I couldn't update sooner!
Thanks to Louise23 for the comment! I agree about Angela, I would love to have a friend as nice as her, I like the ones I already have though but she would be a good addition! :p
Enough of me now, on with the story!
-Sure I Am
Chapter 11—you know something's wrong when nothing is wrong
I pulled my coat closer around my body, seeing my white breaths disappear in the cold.
There's no turning back now. I have to do this. I have to confront Rose.
I had already made a plan in my mind, it seemed so easy to do and yet it seemed so hard at the same time. I decided that I would somehow get to talk to her by herself when the others weren't around or maybe I'd just ask her to talk to me towards the end—I didn't want things to be awkward between us for the rest of the day. I had played the scene through many times in my mind, each time it was different.
I can now see some figures standing by the park gate, where we planned to meet. I walked slightly faster to catch up them. As I got nearer, I noticed that they were all there: Alice, Jasper, Edward and Rosalie.
"Hey," I said, giving a small wave.
"Bella!" said Alice, being the first to greet me and give me an enthusiastic hug.
"Nice to see you again," said Rose, giving me a sarcastic smile—or maybe I just imagined it?
Rosalie gave me a quick hug too but she felt so different to Alice. It felt like I was being hugged by a statue—no, by steel.
I had forgotten one thing when I kept replaying the confrontation over and over again in my mind. That was how intimidating she was. It's not only her good looks; she also has a strong presence, a strong feeling about her. She's definitely not someone you would want as an enemy.
"Let's go, then," said Edward, turning to face toward the park.
I felt a sharp pain in my chest, noticing how distant he was being toward me. It felt like he didn't even want me there. The only one I can really rely on is Alice now. I like Jasper too, but we were never as close as we were to the others.
The day went by relatively smoothly, I didn't have much contact with Rosalie and had a few, quite brief conversations between Edward. I don't know how this distance between us happened, but I know that somehow we can fix it.
Just when I thought everything would be okay again, we found a swing tied to a tree.
We took it in turns using it. It was quite large for a swing but two people couldn't fit comfortably onto it. It was my turn when Alice brought up its size.
"Do you think two people could fit on?" asked Alice.
"I'm not sure. You want to have a turn?" asked Jasper, "unless Bella wants the turn by herself."
"No, I don't mind if you're on it too, Alice," I replied with a smile.
"I just had my turn, it wouldn't be right," she said. "Edward, it's your turn next. Why don't you go on with Bella?"
My heart jumped slightly at the thought of being so close to Edward.
"No. That's okay," he said. "I'll wait until it's my turn."
I tried my best to hide my expression when I heard this.
"Okay then, I'll go instead!" said Alice, getting on the swing.
We overlapped slightly, but somehow we managed to fit on.
Soon it was Rosalie's turn again. I noticed that when she got on the swing, she only took up around half of the seat, whereas I took up around two thirds. I've seen how much she eats, how does she stay so skinny?
"Edward, do you want a turn with me?" asked Rosalie seductively.
The colour drained from my face at these words and my chest started to hurt.
He's going to say no. I kept repeating this in my mind, willing it to happen. Why would he reject me but accept her?
"Sure," he said. "Why not?"
I had to look away as he got onto the swing with her. When I looked up again, she was practically sitting on him. Things went downhill from then on. Rosalie started laughing and screaming as the swing moved. He joined in with the laughing. It was obvious flirting by both of them.
I had to look away. I couldn't stand it any longer the sounds and images of them together played again and again through my mind. Any plans of confrontation I previously had were erased from my mind.
It soon became dark and we said our goodbyes to the guys who were going in another direction to us. Jasper gave me a short hug and a smile. I only got the smile from Edward.
I walked with Alice and Rosalie to the bus stop, barely saying anything. We soon got there and started to wait for our separate buses.
"It was nice seeing you guys today, we should do it again soon," said Rosalie. "It was surprising to see Jasper looking so hot. I don't know how I didn't notice it earlier; maybe he's doing more sports now? Anyway, we should do something again soon? I know! We should go tango dancing, I know a place near my house and have been wanting to try it out."
She probably said that deliberately, knowing how I can't dance. At all. I looked at Alice, seeing her shocked expression. I bet it was about Jasper. It's not enough for Rosalie to have a boyfriend and flirt with Edward, oh no. She also had to bring Jasper into the picture.
"Oh! There's my bus," she said suddenly. "I'd better go now. But remember, guys: if we do end up doing this tango dancing event, Jasper's mine."
Before either of us had a chance to say anything, she had jumped on the bus, where our voices wouldn't have reached her.
Thank you for reading! I hope you like my story and continue to support me.
I think most of you will agree with me when I say 'I hate Rosalie! She already has one guy! She just had to go and mess everything up!' :'(
Please check out my Deviantart account. I recently posted a drawing called 'Angel eyes' which reminds me of the feelings between Edward, Bella and Rosalie (although they don't look like the characters…)
I may post a link directly to the picture on my profile but otherwise, you can access my DA page and then find it. There's a link on my profile!
Any questions/comments would be appreciated greatly! :D
