Rosalie's point of View

Avery and I was just on our way back home when found out Bella had delivered her baby. Turns out she had twins. I felt awful that I missed it. What kind of friend was I? When she needed me most I wasn't there for her.

Was it any wonder no one cared for me? Emmett gave up on me, Tristian never loved me to begin with. I was starting to believe that it wasn't everyone else that was the problem, it was me.

I needed to take a good hard look at myself. I was beautiful of course, but maybe it was my personality. Maybe Demetri was right about me.

No, I couldn't think that way. Demetri is a fool. What does he know about love? The one chance he had... he messed everything up.

But here I was... alone... just like him... Well... I wasn't quite alone.

I glanced over to where Avery was sitting next to me, her head was laying on my shoulder and she was breathing so softly. She looked like... a sleeping beauty.

Since we have moved up here I've helped her improve her diet, she wasn't as weak and thin that she had been before. Her skin had regained color and her hair was growing, nice thick and shiny.

She reminded me a lot of myself when I was human. She was young and gorgous, her innocence was taken from her against her will. But she was lucky enough to survive.

I wanted to help her. I wouldn't let her die, if it was the last thing I do. She would have a long, happy human life. I wasn't sure exactly how I felt towards her... I mean I knew that I liked her... a lot and enjoyed her company. But I don't know much deeper it went.

I've never been the slightest interested in women, in fact most of the women I came in contact with put me in alert. They were a threat. But Avery was an exception. When I was around her I felt... accepted, cared for, I felt safe. I want to be around her... all the time.

At one point I felt this way with both Emmett and Tristian. But I've learned my lesson. I couldn't just go falling head over heels for everyone that comes into my life. I couldn't let myself get hurt again like this. And with the latest betrayl, I was humiliated. I never had a chance with Tristian... He was never mine.

My heart still ached as I thought about him.

"Rose? Are you alright?" Avery looked up at me, her cheeks turning pink as she lifted her head.

I shook my head, forcing a smile to my face. "I'm perfectly fine, come back over here and get comfortable."

Avery hesitantly did as I said and leaned into my side, resting her head on her shoulder. "Why are you so kind to me?" She asked after a short pause.

That was a good question. I was still trying to figure that out myself. "Because, I care about you..." I admitted, glancing down at her. "And your baby."

Avery smiled widely and nodded. "I appreciate you, I've never... felt so close to someone before." After another brief pause she sighed. "To be completely honest, I did have feelings for someone... he was a boy from school... he ended up dying... that day."

I watched her closely, feeling a pinch in my chest. "Really? Tell me about him."

"His name was Andrew, I've had a crush on him since we where children. But he didn't even no I existed. We shared the same group of friends. But he only had eyes for Stephany." Avery explained, looking down at her stomach. "And once I found out I was pregnant, I knew there was no way that I'd ever have a chance with him."

"If you ask me, Andrew was an idiot, for not realizing what a beautiful, wonderful woman you are. It was his loss." I said with a frown.

Avery's red cheeks seemed to spread to her ears now. "That's really nice for you to say... no one ever has talked to me like that."

"It's the truth," I said giving her a smile. "And I'll tell you that every day if you wish."

Avery grinned at me, lightly twisting a piece of her blonde curls around her finger. "There was someone else... that I had feelings for at one point."

"And who would that be?"

"Well... I knew nothing would ever come out of it... but I did find myself... really liking Bella." She said quietly. "She is a lot like me... and we got along so well... she was the only one that really seemed to hear me... sure the others would talk with me and act like they were paying attention... but the only one to really hear what I was saying, was Bella."

This didn't completely surprise me. Everyone seemed to fall for Bella. I didn't know what it was about her that attracted everyone to her... Some times I really envied that girl.

"I could understand the attraction..." I lied, glancing back to the road. "She is wonderful, kind, pretty much the complete package."

Avery shook her head slowly. "Maybe so, but she is my best friend and I respect her relationship with Edward. I know that Bella isn't interested in girls." She said with a nod. "I'm perfectly content just being friends with her."

That relieved me for a moment and I was able to look Avery in the eyes again. "Bella is lucky to have a good friend like you."

"Maybe so... but I'm the lucky one... to have you." Avery said with a shy smile. She slowly leaned towards me. I didn't even realize that I began to lean towards her, until I felt our lips touch.

The moment was brief however as I pulled up to Avery's house. I was frozen in my seat as I watched her. Her face was so red, she looked like a tomato. There was a feeling deep inside my chest, but I ignored the feeling.

Don't fall for this girl. You can't afford getting your heart broken again. You don't even no her. Just... get out of here... before you do something stupid.

"I-I'm sorry..." Avery said looking as if she was about to cry.

My heart melted at the look on her face. "No, it's ok... it's not like I didn't want you to do that. It's just... I can't... do this right now." I stuttered.

She slowly nodded, before smiling a little. "It's alright... I'm use to no one feeling the same way." With that she got out of my car and walked away.

I watched her go; feeling like someone just stabbed me in the heart. I can't believe that I hurt her feelings... I was an idiot. But I couldn't make up for it now... I already did the damage.

I had to leave. I think we both needed the space at this point. I might as well hunt... and try to get my mind off of what just happened.

But for reason I couldn't make myself move from the car. I couldn't pull my eyes away from Avery. She was just making it to her porch now.

Without thinking I got out of the car and went racing to her.

She turned around, revealing the tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Rose... I..." She started, but I didn't let her finish.

I gently embraced her, pulling her body against mine and let my lips touch her's. This time, she melted into me, holding me close. We kissed for a while, until she pulled away to look in my eyes.

"Would you like to come in?" She asked, nodding to her house.

I nodded. "I'd love nothing more..."

With that, we walked hand in hand into her house.

I knew what I was doing was stupid... but I had a hard time not listening to what my heart was telling me. I wanted this to work... I didn't have much expierence with corting a woman... but... I was open to learning it... with Avery.

As we walked into the livingroom I froze as I saw someone sitting on the couch that I had never expected to see.

"I always knew you where a carpet muncher." Demetri snickered, looking in my direction.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I glared at him as I moved to stand in front of Avery.

There was no way he was getting his hands on this child. Over my dead body.

I decided to do one more short chapter for today. Like I said in the previous chapter, today is really the last free day I have to write. So I'm trying to get as much out as I can.

Thanks for reading and reviewing
