Song: Hey, Hey by Superchick
Some people you can never please
You might as well just let them be
They mock everything not their own
From their imaginary throne
But I won't bow down,
even if the whole world thinks I'm crazy...
Why try to be like someone else
When you can only be yourself?
No one can sing the song you do
Be true, be legendary you
So I won't sell out,
even if the whole world thinks I'm crazy...
Why be fake when being real takes no effort?
Alice:
"We're going to get you out of this place, Rose. Just stay calm. Don't worry; everything will work out." I reassured a frightened Rosalie.
"I don't want to go to prison!" She whisper-yelled, as if just by saying it out loud it would happen.
"You won't," I said with force. "I promise. Just sit tight and I'll be right back."
She sat on her little cot as I went down the hallway to the small office where Edward and my mother were at. They were just finishing up some paperwork. I sat on a chair and stared off into space. Something about the wall was suddenly very appealing. I sat there, transfixed by a spot on the wall. Then I heard Edward's voice calling me and I snapped out of it. Without anyone saying anything, I knew. Rose was free.
"I paid for the bail and your mother just got off the phone with the mayor. He said he would see to it that Rosalie would be pardoned," he said.
"Awesome," I smiled.
A few minutes later, Rosalie was released form her holding cell. She came out smiling and greeted each of us with a hug.
"Well kids, I must get back to work. I'm just going to give Rosalie a ride home. I'll see you at home, dear." She said, leaning to kiss my forehead. I let her, considering all that she's done for Rose. Rosalie followed her after thanking us again.
As soon as they left, Edward turned to me and said, "The mayor is doing everything he can, but he can't guarantee anything. It's crucial for Bella to not press charges."
"You have to convince her. It should be fairly easy for you. You're the expert at persuasion," I said.
"How do I get her to do that?" He asked.
"Money," I answered simply.
"Something about her tells me it won't be that simple," he responded.
"Then try your default tactics. Charm her, lie to her, sleep with her and tell her you love her for all I care! Pretend she's just another one of your many victims, or as you guys like to call it, victories. Be someone completely different from whom you truly are. Be her knight in shining armor. Just make sure she does not throw Rosalie Hale into prison." I told him fiercely. I started to walk away when a strong hand gripped my arm.
"Not so fast, Brandon,"' he said.
I sighed. "What now, Cullen?"
"You have to help me too. I can't persuade her alone," He replied.
"So what do you want me to do?" I questioned.
"Become her friend. Whitlock's and McCarthy's too. Get behind enemy lines and convince Swan that I'm not a monster," he answered.
"But you are," I said with a smirk.
"Pretend I'm not. You're a pretty good actress. Deceiving others is your thing. Lie to her. 'Be someone completely different from whom you truly are.'" He quoted me.
"Fine," I huffed. Then, turning on my heel, I left.
I knew Bella was incredibly stubborn, but that wouldn't be a problem. I mean, who wouldn't want to be Alice Brandon's new best friend?
It was a position most people would die for.
I know it's short. Don't kill me.
