AN: Wow, it's been a loong time since I last updated. I apologize for the hold up but I will start updated again now. This chapter is extremely short, I know! Next chapter will be much longer, I promise. Rosalie and Bella have a little chat in this chapter, so they will slowly get to know eachother better. Please review and ideas are always welcome! Thank you for being so patient.
It was around 11:00 when I woke up. I headed down the stairs and found everyone watching tv in the living room. "Good morning" I greeted and Edward appeared in front of me and kissed my cheek. "Morning" He said and disappeared into the other room.
I plopped down on the sofa next to Emmett and he tossed his arm lazily across my shoulders. "We're going to the beach in about an hour. You wanna come?" Emmett asked when Alice danced into the room.
"Of course she's coming! Right Bella?" She gave me the saddest look and I pursed my lips, irritated. "You make it sound like I have a choice"
"That's the spirit! Come with me, I have the perfect bikini outfit for you" She pulled me along with her and I yanked my arm away.
"I'm not swimming" Her golden eyes squinted at me and next thing I knew, I was standing in the middle of her bedroom, completely nude.
"Dammit, Alice!" I shouted, desperately trying to cover myself. "Oh, relax Bella! We're both girls" She came out of her mall-sized closet, holding 3 different bathing suits.
"This one is yours" She handed me the black one and I took it awkwardly. "Why black?" I was honestly curious. Before, she always chose blue for me.
"Because it matches your style these days" I raised my eyebrows at her, wondering if I should be 'touched' or offended. What did she mean, my style? I mean it wasn't like I wore black all the time.
"Don't you dare question my sense of fashion missy! You'll look just fabulous once it's on" I rolled my eyes at her as she gave me a light push towards the bathroom.
I slipped on the bikini and walked out without taking one glance in the mirror. I didn't really care what I looked like anyway.
Alice wasn't in the room when I came out so I just slipped my shirt back on and went downstairs. Everyone was already in their swim suits and ready to go. My eyes nearly popped out and rolled away when Edward strolled in with only a pair of black swim trunks on and no shirt.
I heard someone clearing their throat and so I quickly composed myself and turned to face everyone else but from the corner of my eye, I saw Edward's smirk.
"Kay guys let's go!" Emmett jumped out and ran out to the car. "You look really nice, Bella" Rosalie's beautiful voice sounded from behind me. My eyes widened and my words came out in a jumble. "Th-anks Ro-salie umm, you look rea-lly nice too" She wore a red bikini that showed off her perfect super-model body.
I had no idea why I was even wearing a bikini in the first place. I had no body to show off. Rosalie looked like a freakin' runway model compared to me. I was just a messed up drug addict with cutting problems. I could let them try and fix me, but that didn't mean that I would be completely healed.
"You can call me Rose you know. Whenever you call me Rosalie, I think I've done something wrong" Her friendly smile almost made me faint, but I pulled myself together.
I nodded, smiling back. "Rose" I corrected myself.
"We better get going. I can hear Emmett complaining out there" I grabbed my sunglasses and followed her out. I was glad that we were on somewhat good terms now. We weren't exactly best friends yet, but were getting there.
