I am so sorry that this is late. My computer crashed, and it took me a while to salvage the chapter and re-do it. Didn't come out as I planned.

Originally, I planned for this to be about 30 chapters long, but now I'm looking more towards 50. So I apologize to anyone who doesn't like long stories, but I thought it would be better to have more chapters of smaller content.

Anyway, this is the second to last update before I leave for sleep away camp. I'll get another one out before I leave next Wednesday morning.

I'm hoping for at least 15 reviews on this one. You guys are awesome (:

Rosalie's POV:

Tell them. Tell them. Tell them.

They've been friends with you your whole life. Best friends, in fact. They support your decisions. If you trust him, then they have to trust him. Isn't that in the best friends code of conduct or something? Just three simple words. I'm dating Emmett.

And then the endless humiliation and squealing provided by Alice. The knowing smirk from Bella. And besides, Bella had just squealed about Edward. Why ruin her big day? She hadn't had a good day in so long.

"Rosalie Lillian." Alice sang waving her hand in front of my face

"What?" I snapped, tucking my bangs behind my ear

"You just went all freshman Bella on us." Alice giggled, receiving a light smack from Bella

Bella's freshman year had been spent staring off into space, or as we now know, staring at the man she was now finally dating. Convenient to be intelligent enough to be a freshman in sophomore classes.

"Thinking about someone?" she hinted, nudging Bella on the shoulder

"This could be it." She whispered in her ear

When would Alice learn that I could hear everything she murmured to Bella?

"So." I smiled, teasing them as much as possible," I have some news to share with you guys."

"Yes?" Alice squealed

"Well, you see, I have this new client. And he's loaded!"

"Are you dating him?" Alice sighed

"No. But you should see his car. Runs like a beauty. Smooth. A velvet purr."

"Rosalie, you sound like Jacob." Bella mumbled

"Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry, I'll stop. Oooh, and look. Here comes Quil with our food."

Man, my burger looked good. If I was sitting on a couch with Emmett my mouth probably would have started watering at the sight of it. But since that wasn't proper, and Alice already had me on a thin leash…

"Here you go, Rosalie." Quil smiled, placing the plate down in front of me

As soon as I caught the scent of it, I felt the sense of heart burn and my stomach began to gurgle. With a fake smile plastered on my lips, and a hand over them as well, I pushed back my chair and nearly ran to the bathroom to throw up.

While I washed my hands at the sink, I tried to place what I had eaten today. A 100 calorie pack for breakfast. Turkey sub for lunch. Nothing out of the ordinary. Probably a 24 hour bug. Or just stress. I had a stressful job.

I hurried back to the table, and picked my abandoned napkin off of the floor and placed it on my lap. I took a long sip of my water, and when I put the glass down Bella and Alice were both staring at me.

"Is there something on my face?" I whispered, trying to scope out the blemish using my spoon

"Oh, no, no, Rose, everything's fine." Bella smiled

They had obviously been talking about me during my absence.

I started to pick at my fries. I wasn't that hungry anymore. In fact, my burger now repulsed me. Alice was eyeing my fries.

"Take one." I demanded

She took a tiny one, drowned it with salt and sucked on it, with a satisfied smile.

"Pregnant women." I laughed

"Sue me." She hissed

"Relax, Ali." I laughed, but I wasn't that into it anymore

I waved down a waiter, and asked for a to-go box. All I wanted to do was sleep, and the smell of this restaurant was driving me nuts.

"Rose, are you alright?" Bella asked with a smile, "Stress headache? Do you need an Advil, Tylenol, Aspirin? I have small pills, tablets, liqui-gels, chewable…"

Could you tell who the stressed out, prepared writer was?

"No thanks, Bells. I'm alright."

"Really, Rosalie, you don't look so hot." Alice frowned

"I think I'm just going to head home and get some rest. I have a client in the morning. But this was great guys. We should do this sometime soon."

"I'm sure someone will let the cat out of the bag about something very soon." Alice smiled at me, batting her eyelashes

"Alright." I laughed

I threw a twenty on the table, kissed them both on the cheek, and headed out to my car.

After starting up the engine, and admiring the smell, I took out my phone and hit the 4 speed dial.

"Hey babe." He murmured

"Hey, Em. Look, I don't know where you are, but I'm going to head back to my place. I feel like crap."

"I'm at Jasper's with Edward watching the game. Listen, head back to my place, take a nap in my big king size bed."

"And then what?" I laughed, "Have some beer, turn on a game, and watch those cheerleaders shake their butts?"

"Always helps me."

I could picture him smiling, with his cell phone against his ear, his eyes on the television.

"I think I'm just going to head home, but Thanks Em."

"No really, go to my place and get some sleep. I'll head over there and make some soup or something for you. There's Advil in the medicine cabinet and beer in the fridge. But don't mix them." He chuckled

"Thank you, Em."

"That's why I love you."

"I love you too."

I headed over to Emmett's place and parked my car on the curb.

After letting myself in, taking a few Advil, and throwing my crap on his couch, I sauntered into his room. I changed into a pair of his boxers and one of his long sleeve shirts. I turned on his fan, crawled under the big, black comforter and lay down.

I loved the smell of his room. A mix of his after-shave, cologne, breath, scent, and Altoids. It smelled relaxing. It smelled like home.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!
