AN – Thank you for all your reviews I really appreciate them. Especially MsNaomi05 please go and check out her stories 'reservations' and 'releasing the tension' they are really good. Sorry for not updating sooner but I needed a little break from writing. I thought I would get hate mail because I didn't let them have any time together but I have the best readers so I had no reason to worry so thanks. Now onto the story

Chapter 12 – EMPOV
She wouldn't move. she wouldn't speak. She just lay there on the bed. I tried to talk to her but she didn't answer. I tried to hug her but no response. I never felt so hopeless in my existence. Edward had gone to visit the Denali's for a few days. He didn't know about Bella and none of us had the heart to tell him. He would find out when he returned. Adam had gone. He ran off as soon as Rose had outed him as a liar. I felt so guilty how could we have got it so wrong? I kissed Rose's cheek and walked downstairs.
"Anything?" Carlisle asked. I shook my head
"Maybe I could try?" Alice offered and before even getting an answer she walked out of the kitchen and walked up the stairs. I heard her knock on the door and when Rose never answered she opened the door. I heard her walk over to the bed and the springs groan as she climbed onto it. There was silence and after a while I heard Rose's sobs. Thinking Alice was bothering her I ran up the stairs and opened the door but Rose was in Alice's arms and Alice was comforting her. I walked back out slamming the door behind me. It was wrong for me to be jealous I know but I was. I had spent hours trying to get Rose to speak to me and it only took Alice a matter of minutes. I wanted to be the one to comfort her.

I tried so hard not to cry in front of Emmett. I had put him through so much these past few years and he had stood by me through it all. I had to be a big girl now and not let anyone else suffer my pain. I was brought out of my thoughts when Alice came into the room. She came over and got into the bed with me. She didn't say anything. She didn't have to. She just put her arms around me and that's when I started crying again. After a while I had calmed down again and Alice and I were just sat in silence.
"I thought she was dead and now she is so what have I lost?" I said breaking the silence.
"Rose, you lost a daughter. It doesn't matter that you didn't know who she was or that you gave her away. She was yours! Don't let anyone take that her away from you" She said firmly.
"Thanks Al" I said using my old nickname for her. I wondered how Charlie was coping. Carlisle had told him last night but I was in such a state I never even bothered to even look at him or check his reaction. I wanted to talk to him. I needed to find out more about Bella. What were her interests and hobbies? What type of music did she like? I stood up
"Where are you going?" She asked
"I have to go and see Charlie" I said
"Are you sure that's such a good idea?" she asked concerned
"Maybe. Maybe not but he is the only one who can tell me about her" I said
"Fine I'll come with you" She went to get up but I stopped her
"No" I said firmly. She hesitated but then nodded. I smiled in thanks and went to get ready. I couldn't be bothered to do my make-up just tying my hair back and putting on a tracksuit. I walked out of the door and went to get in my car but I was distracted when I smelt a scent. I knew it anywhere. It was Adam. I turned around and saw him walking towards me. He looked a mess. He was still wearing his suit from yesterday and his hair was in disarray. You could tell he had been running his hands through it.
"Rose" he pleaded. I threw a disgusted look at him. "Were are you going?" he asked
"I'm going to talk to Charlie and then I'm going to see Bella" I hissed at him "Not that it's any of your business.
"Oh Well we could go together" he offered. That was the last straw
"You come within five miles of me or my daughter and I'll kill you" I said to him before spitting at him and getting into my car.
I pulled up to Charlie's breathing deeply. It was crazy for me, a vampire to be nervous about meeting an insignificant human. I turned off the ignition and walked up the path. I knocked three times on the door but there was no answer. I waited and waited but he didn't answer. I knocked again. I persisted in my knocking and eventually he answered. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was tear-stained. He had a can of beer in his hand.
"Hi" I said softly. He grunted in response and walked back into the living room. I was shocked by the sight. Glass was all over the floor and the couch was overturned. The curtains were closed. Charlie sat back down into his chair and opened another can. He offered me one and I shook my head.
"So what do you want?" he asked me croakily.
"Well Bella …" We both flinched "she….I….am her biological mother" he turned to me
"I know"
"What?" I asked him shocked
"She told me…She said she wasn't going to tell you" he said
"Well she did" I mumbled feeling guilty remembering that I rejected her at first. I changed the subject "I was wondering …maybe I could…go with you to see Bella"
"I'm not going to see her" he grunted opening another can and putting his feet up as if to prove his point.
"Why not?" I argued.
"I don't want to see my baby girl cold and lifeless on a slab in some morgue" he said his voice getting louder. He stood up but then sat back down again sobs wracking his body. I felt sorry for him. Bella was his whole life. I walked over to him and placed my shaking hand on his shoulder. He didn't shrug me off and after he managed to get his tears under control I patted him uncomfortably and stepped back. I was not good at this comforting thing. I stepped back
"Charlie" I said softly "Don't you need to say goodbye? I know I do especially after …what happened" I stopped as another wave of guilt washed over me. Charlie froze and looked over at me
"What did you do?" he asked slowly. Dangerously even. I began to shake my head
"It wasn't my fault. My dad was saying all this stuff and I just…I got it wrong…I was stupid and got it wrong but it wasn't my fault" I knew I was babbling. I was trying to fit my words together to form coherent sentences but I couldn't. Recognition replaced confusion on Charlie's face.
"You…rejected her didn't you?" I could here flashes of anger, hurt and confusion in his voice.
"It wasn't my fault….I was in shock. I thought she was dead!" I said desperately. "I never meant to hurt her"
"But you did" he pointed out, anger becoming evident now. "you left her and abandoned her WHEN SHE NEEDED YOU!" he shouted. I nodded slowly I had no argument he was right. "you killed her" he said slowly "you murdered Bella". It hit me fast and hard. He was right! I was responsible for all Bella's pain and ultimately her death.
"NOW GET OUT JUST GO!" Charlie shouted bringing me out of my epiphany. I didn't need telling twice. I ran out of the door and forgetting my car I ran all the way home. I burst into the house and ran up the stairs looking for Emmett. I ran into my bedroom and Emmett was sitting there on the bed.
"Emmett" I said softly. I don't know whether it was the tone of my voice or the fact I'd ran through the door like a wild animal but it made him look up.
"What's the matter baby?" he asked coming over to me and pulling me into a hug.
"I want you to kill him for me Em …Please…I want Adam dead"
AN – Okay so as you can see I have gone with option two. I think it's more dramatic :) I would love some feedback. I know this chapter was short but the next one will be longer and up either tonight or tomorrow :) please review. If I get more than 200 reviews then I will update in the next 6 hours!
