Hey guys- I just want to clear something up. Many of you were wondering why Rosalie left. Well, I'm not going to tell you. It will all become clear in this chap. This might be incredibly emotional.

37. Saving Rosie

Rosalie's POV

I sat in the lounge room, with the rest of the family. It seems like a normal Thursday night I guess you could say.

I sat quietly in the corner of the lounge, watching on as the family squabble.

Alice was having a giggling attack, while telling the story of where 'Eddie' came from. I've heard this so many times it's ridiculous.

"Okay," Alice nearly squealed. She was grinning at Edward and Bella. "It started when Edward and Bella were at their honeymoon, and when they wer—"

"Whoa!" Emmett yelled. He jumped out of his seat. I would have normally been laughing, but not tonight. "Do I really want to hear this story!? I'll never be able to look at Bella and Edward the same again!" He pointed to Edward, then shivered at the thought.

"It's Bella's fault. She shouldn't have yelled it out in the first place!" Alice laughed. She turned around to give Jasper a high-five.

I could hear Carlisle and Esme laughing from the back of the room.

"Alice!" Bella whined. That's typical Bells. Always embarrassed.. "Don't you dare say anymore! You weren't even meant to hear that! If it wasn't for your stupid vision!" Bella continued to wail.

Alice shrugged, and turned back to Emmett. "So technically, Bella came up with it," Alice giggled. Jasper's laugh was loud and clear in the corner. "And besides, Jasper and I have said much worse."

Jasper stopped laughing, and looked at Alice.

"Alice!" Edward wailed. "Stop! I don't want to see that picture! For the Love of all that is Holy!"

Alice giggled, and stuck her tongue out at Edward. "Oh grow up Eddie!"

AI could tell Emmett would be feeling awfully sick in the corner. "That's enough! I'm totally regretting asking where that stupid name came from! That's enough of the sex stories too! Who's gonna start telling next? Carlisle and Esme?!"

I giggled at the thought. Wouldn't that be embarrassing..

Carlisle and Esme's faces were horrified. "I'm sure Emmett doesn't want to know anything," Esme laughed, nervously. "Seeing we're his parents."

I nodded. I haven't said anything in a while..

"True, you guys are off the hook." Alice chirped. "Who's next?!"

"Since when has this became a game?!" Edward groaned.

"Since now," Alice silenced him with a glare. " Dish, dish somebody!"

"Edward!" Bella moaned. "Please don't say anything about us!"

I quietly crept off the lounge, and slipped the note I'd prepared for the family down the side of the lounge. I sat back down, so I would seem inconspicuous. I took a last look at Emmett, and the rest of the family.

I gazed into Emmett's eyes. I felt like I was going to burst into tears if I stayed any longer.

I took one last look at the rest of the family. I nearly started to sob when I looked at Esme and Carlisle. My parents..

I would miss Alice's continues happiness.

I would miss Esme's mothering instincts towards us all.

I would miss Carlisle's compassion.

I would miss Bella's embarrassment, and caring nature.

I would miss Edward's sweet piano playing.

I would miss Jasper's idiotic-ness.

And most of all.. I would miss Emmett's.. Emmett.

I'm pretty sure I looked shattered, and I ran toward's the door so fast, no-one would spot me.

I looked back on the family, who were still squabbling. "Take care of him. For me." I whispered.

I flew out the door, and pushed myself to my fastest speed ever.

I needed to get away from here, so I couldn't hurt him.

I heard the family's silence, and let out a sob.

"Why can't I see her?" I heard Alice growl.

When I decided to leave, I thought of the consequences. I remembered when Edward left Bella. How did that turn out? Bella became shattered all the time, and she didn't eat or drink.

Would Em have the same reaction?

I looked around at the dark forest flying past me, and sighed.

I had to leave. I didn't have a choice. I couldn't stand by and watch Emmett fall in love with another girl. If he decided to chose her, then what would I do? I couldn't live.

I couldn't complicate his life like I already have.

If he wanted to be with her, then fine. I knew I would have to come back sometime, but I try my best to avoid it at all costs. I couldn't come back, and give Emmett the impression I wanted him. Because, as soon as I was gone, he would become the depressed little boy he's going to be now.

I pushed that thought out of my head, as I ran past the sign that said 'airport'

The sign was blurred by the thick foliage around me, but I could still see it clearly. I had been down this road many times before now.

My whole life, I had been alone. I was supposed to be a mate for Edward, but that never happened. Then when I thought I'd found my sole mate, it has to be this complicated. This was my only resort.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, and I checked the caller ID.

Esme.

I let out a sob, and pushed myself to run faster.

When I get to the airport, I would jump on the next plane to Alaska.

Emmett's POV

I felt a sharp pain shoot through my chest as I read the note Rosie had left for us. It feels like someone has just kicked me in the stomach.

So I'm going.. Forever.

I let out a silence sob, and a tear drop dripped onto the paper.

She's gone.. My soul mate.. She's gone.

Esme hugged herself closer to me, and she sobbed to. Edward grabbed the note off me, and began to read it.

"No.." He gasped. "Rosalie.. She's.." His voice pitched an octave. "Left us. Forever."

Esme let out a sob, and I squeezed her tighter. My tears had streamed down my cheeks.

Why would she do this to me? To us?

Alice and Bella hugged themselves closer to Jaz and Edward, and began to sob.

"That;s explains why I couldn't see her." Alice weeped.

"No!" I burst out. "No!"

I was not going to let her go! When we had first kissed, I promised her I would never let her go. And that's not going to change!

I pulled my head out of Esme caramel hair, so I could speak clearly. " I promised I would never let her go!"

"We have to go after her!" Bella shrieked. "Emmett's right."

Edward sighed. "She wouldn't want us too. This is just like when I—" He shivered, and forced the words out. "-- Left Bella."

"Like that's gonna stop me!" I yelled. I was not only sad, but angry. "I promised her. I made a promise! She said she wouldn't ever leave me, no matter what the circumstances!"

"But Amy's coming over soon.." Carlisle murmured.

I really don't care about that anymore. Rose is much more important.

"I don't care we have to leave now! She's probably not even on the plane yet! We have to go!"

I jumped out of my seat, and lunged for the door.

"I tried to call her but she's not answering.." Esme said.

"She's at the airport now," Alice said, as we all sprinted out to the Mercedes. "We have to hurry if we're going to make it! The chances are slim!"

I jumped into the car, in between Esme and Bella.

"Go, go, go!" Alice shrieked, and Edward put the pedal to the medal. He was the fastest driver out of the Cullen family.

I became quickly impatient, and began bouncing in my seat. "Come on, come on!"

The car's engine revved, and we shot forward. The car ride seemed very, very long. Probably because of how impatient I was.

We pulled into the car park, and I jumped out of the car as soon as we had come to a halt in a car space. My phone buzzed, and I whipped it out of my pocket. "Please be Rosie, please.."

I noticed the caller ID, and groaned. Amy..

"Hello?" I huffed, and sprinted for the entrance.

"Emmett?"

"That's my name, look, why are you calling, I'm in a slight hurry."

"I came to your house, and your not there. Remember, I got mugged today."

I nodded. "Yeah, I know that but.. We can't come home."

"Why?"

"Because.." I looked at the family, and they shook their heads. "I gotta.. a job to do."

"Emmett." she began to groan. I knew she'd be pouting.

"Hey, hey, you broke up with me remember?"

"Yes but.. We're do I go?"

"Call your parents. Get on a flight home. You said you never wanted to see me again, so.. Now your going to have your wish."

There was a long silence, and I began panting as we all ran towards the nearest departures sound.

"The next plane to Pennsylvania will leave in approximately 30 minutes."

I huffed. We don't care about Pennesylvania! We need Alaska!

"Are you at the airport?"

I heard Amy shriek from my phone. "Yeah, what's your point?"

She groaned, and hung up the phone. I nearly ran into a sign as I shoved my phone into my pocket.

I stood straight, and scanned the board.

"Alaska leaves in.. 10 minutes! Gate 10! C'mon!" Alice squealed, and we all sped forward again.

I could tell my family were impatient because they had to run at a human pace. I shrugged them off, as Gate 4 sped past me.

"Gate 4!" I huffed. "6 gates left!"

Everybody nodded.

People stared at us as we ran past them, screaming to each other. I didn't care.

I saw Gate 7 in florescent lights, and that gave me the push I needed to run faster.

"Nearly.. There.." I puffed. My chest was throbbing from running so fast, for so long. And plus, I was not hydrated.

My eyes began to close, but I forced them open. I ran faster, and that's when blackness washed over my vision..

Rosalie's POV

I waited impatiently for my boarding call. Why is this taking so god damn long?

I heard loud footsteps running toward's this gate, and I craned my head to see what was happening.

"All passengers who will be boarding flight J860 to Alaska, may now proceed to the gate to board the aircraft." the loud speaker sounded.

I stood up, and slung my hand bag over my shoulder. I began to walk to the door.

"Rosalie!"

I narrowed my eyes and looked around. I knew that voice oh to well..

"Rosalie, no!" Alice squealed. I saw Esme, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, and Bella running towards me, and a fast human face.

Where were Emmett and Edward? And better yet, why have they come here?

I craned my neck around, to try and see everybody clearly. I noticed Edward bronze coloured hair. I narrowed my eyes further. He was holding something.. no, carrying something..

Somebody was slung over his shoulder, limp. It was Emmett.

I gasped. What was wrong with him?

"We are waiting on one more passenger.. Rosalie Hale?" The over head sounded. I ignored it. My eyes were trained on Emmett's limp form.

I got a surprise when Alice bashed into me, and I nearly fell over.

"Rose!" Alice hugged me tightly. "Don't leave us!"

I shook my head. I hugged her close to me.

She stepped back, and Esme and Carlisle came forward. The both hugged me, and Carlisle kissed me on the forehead.

Bella and Jasper hugged me as well. I then ran to Emmett.

"What happened to him?!" I yelled.

"He just fainted. He pushed himself so hard to here.. His body failed on him." Edward murmured.

"Oh no," I pulled Em off him, and hugged him to me.

Should I still leave?

I felt Emmett grab a handful of my shirt, and smelt it. "Don't.. Leave.. Me.."

"Shh.." I hushed. "I.."

I stumbled to find words. I couldn't tell him I was staying, cause I wasn't even sure of that.

Hmm.. Wow. What's you think? Good bad crap stupid?

Love you all, Bella x
