The Day Before - Rosalie
I loved Alice. Really. But her enthusiasms were exhausting. Wanting to bring a human girl into her life? That might mean into our lives? A human?
She said there would be slumber parties. Hell. Like we need those. What did she think she needed that we, her family, couldn't give her? Mated to a kick-ass warrior – yes, he had caused us to move more than I liked, but he was trying and I did appreciate that – able to see to our finances which we all appreciated, and she had a family.
Didn't she know that was enough?
I was positive that Miss Isabella Swan would treat us just the way all the other brainless girls in that high school did. She would swoon over my brothers, or maybe me if she went that way, but once she tried talking to us, she would get all scared and think we were weird and then she would gossip about us like the rest.
The only problem with that scenario was that my sister would be disappointed.
At least we would all be here to support her. Because that was what families did.
"Where are you going, Esme?"
"The market, dear. I forgot something."
"We're vampires. What did you forget? Hairspray?" I smiled and tossed a length of my own hair over my shoulder.
"Oh, thank you, dear. I did forget that. I'll be back soon."
Esme really needs to get out more.
