Rosalie

On today's agenda was some completely stupid school trip to some compost place, ugh, I can already see my clothes burning because I can't get the smell out. Catching the sickly sound of Bella's truck, my head snapped to where it was coming from, and internally chiding myself, great now I'm acting like a dog that hears the car of the mailman.

''Hey, Tyler, I'm going to ask Bella to go to the prom with me, just saying not that you also wanted to ask her'' That sentence caused a black pit to form in my stomach and I unconsciously let out a low growl.

''Rosalie!'' Belowed Emmet ''My truck!'' looking down to where my hands were I saw a nice dent in the form of my hand ''ups'' I said holding them up in the air now.

Emmet now looking like he would cry if he could pushed me away from it, I need to fix that for him later I thought, feeling sorry. Back to the situation at hand that puppy is now walking over to her trying to control the urge to rush to her side and show him who she belongs to, I continued observing the situation.

''Look at you, you're alive'' obviously

For some reason, she started laughing, and even though knowing that it was more out of politeness. That knowledge didn't seem very clear to the vampire in me, who by now wanted nothing more than to show this human that Bella belonged to me.

Seeming like the Buffon gathered his courage, he asked her, ''Do you ah want to go to the prom with me?''

Bella looked really surprised by this for some reason, like she hadn't expected anyone would ask her, Is she really this oblivious to her beauty

Coming out of her stupor ''Oh I um have already have plans that day in Jacksonville, but you should ask Jessica, I'm sure she would be more than happy to go with you''

Her answer nearly got a cocky smile out of me she said no I know it isn't hard to say no to Mike, and it was just because she has something to do on that day, but still for some reason, I felt like she chose me over him.

''Rosalie can you please keep your emotions in check if I didn't know any better I would have thought you are bipolar you're making Jasper here nervous'' Alice chided from my side. And true, looking over at him, he has a strained look on his face.

A quick ''Sorry'' and then our teacher called us in to get on the buses. But still, the more jealous vampiric part of me really wants to know if Jacksonville l was just an excuse or not.

Pulling Edward towards me ''I need your help'' that made him look at me like I had gone crazy and if he were to ask me I most likely wouldn't even deny it ''you can read minds I need you to ask her about Jacksonville'' I hate what I am doing right now just before I was about to withdraw my request he said something that stunned me

''Even if I wanted to, I can't'' what's that supposed to mean

''I can't read her every time I try it's quiet'' getting a little smile on his face ''It actually makes conversing with her quite pleasant''

wanting to go on I stopped him ''wait stop there for a minute what do you mean you can't read her does she have a gift?'' I mean, some humans have them but they're relatively minor, so much so that most don't even notice that they have them.

Looking intrigued by my idea ''Yeah could be, but I think we should discuss it with Carlisle before we make any assumptions''

Getting a teasing look on his face, ''But whatever it is it seems like your mate is quite special''

Suppressing the embarrassing 'Yes' I wanted to say, I instead rolled my eyes and asked him again if he could ask her. ''Whatever, but can you ask her now or what''

Still haven't lost the teasing smirk ''Now now Rosalie is that the way to ask someone for something''

Now have gotten my eye to start twitching I threatened him in a sickly sweet voice ''I will set your piano aflame and let you watch it burn''

For good measure, I painted him a good picture of it in my thoughts that got his eyes to widen considerably and the teasing smile to vanish only for it to be replaced with a stern gaze

''No, you should talk to her'' At that point, I wanted to say something, but he kept talking

''I don't like the fact that she is human as much as you, but the fact remains is that she is your mate. And that means she is involved with us if you want to or not'' Sometimes I forget how old Edward is and how logical he can be because most of the time he acts like a melodramatic teen.

And I hate to admit it, but he is right. But even now, confronted with the truth, the fear of the past repeating itself again consumes me. Yet the thought of hurting her is one I can't comprehend. Maybe I mean fears are to overcome or some sappy shit like that.

This is horrible The way things smell since I've become a vampire changed drastically, some things more than others. One of them being food no matter how fresh smells foul, so fermenting compost is something I wished I never needed to smell again.

Looking ahead I can see Edward he was looking back at me ''Talk to her Rosalie'' he said faster than the human ear can comprehend. I know she is behind me, I mean she's been staring at me the whole time, which I kind of liked. Unknowingly pronouncing the swing of my hips a little more, causing more than one person to trip.

And believe me, I want to talk to her, I just don't know where to start after all I was ignoring her for most of the time since she arrived here in Forks. But then I realized something Oh god I am behaving like Edward that was all the courage I needed to get me to talk to her.

''What is in Jacksonville?'' great don't even say Hello ''Ah I mean Hello'' did I just say 'Ah' just kill me again

A perplexed look getting replaced with an amused one If I could blush I would

''How did you know about that?'' She asked while looking ahead again, suddenly missing her eyes on me get a grip on yourself, Rosalie you're supposed to be the predator here.

''That's not important'' I can't tell her that, why didn't I think about this before of course she would be suspicious that I know of Jacksonville

Now looking me dead in the eyes with a fierce look, I like that look ''are you then going to tell me how you stopped the van?'' 'And that good feeling from before is gone.

''Bella, we have talked about this before, I can't tell you because it would put you in danger!''

That only seemed to annoy her more ''what kind of danger?'' realized that I wouldn't give her an answer to that, she turned away from me

''Nothing is in Jacksonville'' she now said coldly to me

''Hey Bella guess who just asked me to prom'' came the annoying chirpy voice of Jessica

Now thinking that this is my sign to go, I walked away. Passing by Edward, who was looking at me sympathetically, I don't need your pity.

Right now I'm standing at the entrance of the building, more than a little irritated about the whole trip. I had no chance to talk with Bella again, since when did she get so popular, every time I wanted to approach her another one of her friends would show up. Thankfully when the trip was nearly ending I saw her walking alone, and I took my chance.

Walking up to her from behind her, ''Bella can we please talk?''

Not stopping in her steps ''Does this talk include the answer on how you stopped the van?'' annoyed that she wouldn't stop, I walked in front of her

''Bella how many times do I need to say that I can't tell you that'' during this rant I didn't notice that I took her hand between mine.

''Why because it's too dangerous'' now looking me straight in the eye with a look of pleading ''I want to get to know you, but I can't when there is this secret between us acting as a barrier so please tell me'' the tone of her voice made me want to hug her close to me

But I can't because I'm scared, scared that the truth would make her hate me or worse scared of me.

Looking down now realizing I was holding her hand ''I can't'' I said quietly and in defeat

''Okay'' pulling her hand out of mine she walked away and If I could cry I would have. Never before have I hated what I was as I do now.
