Fresh Rain, Bringing In The Storm
It was going to be raining this weekend. This was one of the few day's were the entire family got together. If she was to be honest she missed them. Of course she lived with them, but lately there hasn't been much activity in the house. With only Bella and Edward, Alice, and Jasper still attending school there was not really a moment where they had to be pushed together. Rosalie had figured this would happen. After seeing Bella's distraught body in that hospital bed everyone had grown distant with each other. It seemed they all blamed themselves for the girls injury. No one wanted to see her with that leg brace on. It only served as a reminder that she was almost changed into one of them.
Due to their mistakes that day, they had almost ripped the girl away from choosing to become one of them. It was like a silent agreement to be at least within a three mile radius when Bella visited. They didn't want her to think she had torn the family apart. Yet they didn't want her to be suspicious as to why everyone had migrated to the house when she visited. So they took trips to take away some of the attention. She hadn't done anything wrong, so they pretended for her.
While they still felt the guilt of there slip ups every time they glanced at the human, in a way they still managed to enjoy the little time they had when she was around. Whether Bella knew it or not; she had every last one of them wrapped around her finger. She had became apart of their family. She was another Cullen in their eye's. So when Alice announced that there would be a perfect rainy day coming Friday; hearing that bit of news comforted them all.
No one had the heart to play baseball after the James incident, so they moved on to the next best thing. Football. Hearing the baseball connect with the bat at the perfect moment where the booming thunder was heard had given them a happy reason to embrace being turned into an in humanly creature. When Emmett offered up playing football in the muddy rain, there had been a small amount of happiness inside of them all at the idea. This would be one of the events where they could start bonding again. Sure their was still movie nights, but that was composed of mainly silence and there attention grabbed entirely by the movie.
This meant they would actually have to speak, and move in sync with one another. They would have a chance at becoming the family that was, before James. Rosalie didn't approve when she had heard Bella was going to be joining them, but she didn't want to complain when she had gotten what she wanted. Her family being together again, and she considered Bella her family now.
She tensed grasping her arms into tighter grip. She could smell strong scent even with the salty smell of unfallen rain that tainted the air. Her eyes flicked to the approaching figures. She had decided to wait leaning against the newly bought land rover, while everyone finished getting ready.
"Hi...Rosalie." She sighed when Edward sent her a disapproving frown at her silence.
"Bella." She nodded in acknowledgement.
"Why she's asked I will probably never understand but she wants to ride with you."
Rosalie nodded. Her chest screamed for the answer she wanted to say. Yet her mind and mouth had shut down all her coherent feelings for the brunette.
"No."
Her head ached and her body punished her for the dejected nod Bella sent her. She ignored the small twitch of her left hand made in protest to the fallen face of her mate. Instead she opted for the best thing she could muster in the moment. She chose to mask her pain with a well practiced scowl aimed to the ground.
"Rosalie was only kidding, she would love for you to join her."
Her scowl deepened when she heard the snickers of everyone. Deciding to let her lips form a thin line instead of arguing, she let her head nod slowly in agreement.
"Don't worry Bella-Boo, Rosie is just being a sour puss, since no one wants to put up with her short temper." Rosalie rolled her eyes.
Emmett always seemed to sneak his childish antics into a situation, and it didn't help that Jasper had started to emmit the small bit of amusement he felt. She shot him a glare, causing him to smile in response. Alice laughed hopping inside Emmett's Jeep. For a reason that didn't upset Rosalie as much as she thought it would. Everyone decided to ride along in Emmett's truck. She didn't blame anyone though, she had made it very clear she didn't want anyone in her truck. Especially when she had only purchased the vehicle three days ago. She didn't like anyone in her cars, but she guess she had to make an exception for Bella. That and she always would make an exception to the brunette.
"Whatever, get in the car." She shot at Bella.
"It's fine if you don't want me to...I mean I can ride with everyone else- it won't be a-"
"Just get in the car." She snapped, at the blushing girl.
"Don't be so rude Rosalie."
Esme chided. Nodding, Rosalie flashed to the passengers side holding the door open impatiently. She frowned when Edward decided to make a longer than goodbye. Was it that serious? It was only a twenty minute separation.
"Do you really want to ride with her?" Rosalie glared daggers at the back of Edwards head.
"Yes...I actually need to talk to her." Her eyes softened for a second when Bella intentionally met her eyes. At least she had manners when it came to regarding the blonde.
"If she gets to irritating then ignore her. That always works."
Rosalie smirked when Bella frowned at the intended joke. She could hear the disapproving response Carlisle muttered. Irritation at the couple boiling over, Rosalie quickly snatched Bella away from Edwards grip. He sent her a glare when his lips met air. She smirked closing the passengers door, making way inside the car herself.
"You don't seem like the...truck type." She flicked her eye's to the brunette, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
Bella did a double take when she spotted the smile ghosting the blondes lips. Rosalie Hale couldn't have just smiled at one of her lame attempts at conversations. Could she?
"I would never bring such a gorgeous vehicle into filth." Bella couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips, at Rosalie's serious response.
"You bought a land rover to fit the terrain?" It was meant to be a comment, and Bella cringed when her the seeming question reached her ears.
"Was it a stupid purchase." She mentally cursed her slick tounge.
"No- I didn't mean it that way, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to offend you." Rosalie took a deep breath. She hated this.
It made her miserable treating Bella this way.
"You don't have to apologize. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions."
Rosalie hated how depressed she felt. It's only been two minutes, since Bella had gone silent. Even with wanting the silence she couldn't help but feel smothered by the tense atmosphere. She had taken small glances at the girl, and from what she could tell Bella seemed to be deep in thought.
"You said you wanted to speak with me." Out the corner of her eye she saw Bella send her a small frown, before returning her gaze back to staring out the window.
"I'd rather not bring it up right now."
If Rosalie hated anything, then it was surely when someone had a change of heart to speak with her. Just the thought of someone dismissing her made her cold skin boil. She had the urge to press on the matter but decided against it, seeing the clearing twenty yards away. Shutting the engine off, Rosalie caught the girls wrist before she could reach for the door. She waited until their eyes locked. A frown appeared when she realized Bella seemed to panic a little at her touch, dropping the hand she averted her eye's.
"We will speak after this. I will take you home."
She didn't wait for a response before she went to the trunk of the truck to take out the gear. Bella didn't move from the position, even after hearing the door slam shut. Her eyes were trained on her wrist; as if in a trance.
"Do you guys really need the gear?" Edward chuckled shaking his head.
"It was Emmett's idea. He thinks it will make the game more...He wants to entertain the idea of the protection. The helmets will only crack under the force."
"So I'm guessing the uniforms were all Alice?"
Bella had tried to stifle a laugh at the sight of the vampire coven head to toe in football gear. It seemed ironic to see a bunch of vampires wearing something made for human protection, while they were practically immune to any human injuries.
"Hurry up Eddie! It's almost time to get started."
Edward smirked at his brothers excitement. Giving Bella one last kiss, he flashed to Jasper's side. It wasn't all to surprising that Edward asked her to sit out from helping Esme referee. If Bella was honest she was slightly relieved she didn't have to make important calls. She didn't want a repeat of the Rosalie moment while helping with baseball. This was great way to actually actually be able to witness their abilities without the worry of messing up a call. She watched with a smile. They were all laughing and actually speaking to one another without tension for the first time since the incident. Bella was no fool. She could see how strained their conversations seemed to be. There was still the sibling humor they had, yet there just always seemed to be that small glimmer of hesitancy between them.
She knew they all blamed themselves for her near death call. She could see it on their faces when they first had seen her on the hospital bed. She had tried to joke that it was no problem, and reminded them constantly that it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't snuck away from Jasper and Alice. If it was anyone's fault then it was her own. They were all trying to pretend for her sake, even Rosalie. She was grateful for the attempt, but she hated it all the same.
If she hadn't taken that call, or manipulated Alice and Jasper then she wouldn't have damaged the families dynamic. Hearing the small droplets hitting the windshield of Rosalie's land rover, Bella lifted the hood of her jacket over her head.
"Ten minutes Bella!" She smiled at Alice's warning.
It was the perfect rain as Alice predicted. Bella could understand why they had chosen rain as their setting. The dirt of the field had been dampened to form the perfect mud as Emmett put it. She knew they took their games seriously, but somehow the lines painted perfectly to match a football fields appearance seemed a little to serious in her opinion. There was no hesitation on blaming Emmett for the exaggerations.
If they had picked the teams randomly, or let just migrated into each other, then it was surely a mistake. With Emmett, Casey, Alice, and Edward on one team; while Carlisle, Alice, Jasper, and Rosalie were on the second. It did seem fairly uneven seeing as Edward was the fastest and mind reader, and Emmett was the strongest. Yet she could understand how the others held a higher advantage. Alice was a psychic, and Carlisle, Jasper and Rosalie were very clever, and could easily maneuver away from any collision.
She tried her hardest to hold in a whimper whenever Edward had gotten tackled. He didn't get the ball much but when he did it seemed that Rosalie was very intent on taking him out herself.
"I said a clean game, no using your gifts as an advantage." Bella chuckled along with everyone else at Esme's scolding.
Bella couldn't believe how muddy they all were. Even from thirty yards away she could see the mud clamps sticking to their pads. It still amazed her when she spotted some dirt smudged on Rosalie's right cheek. While witnessing the blondes fashion sense, and not ever spotting anything out of place. She had convinced herself that Rosalie wasn't capable of attracting dirt.
Shaking her head she zoned back in on the game. She was never a big fan of sports, but watching a few games with Charlie served as a few lessons. So she could at least keep up on what was happening. From what she could tell it Carlisle seemed to be playing quater back for his team, and Emmett for his. With the ball in Carisle's hands it was in there possession.
"One minute." Esme yelled.
Carisle dropped back, and she watched the ball soar through the air. Her eyes landed on his target, and her breath hitched when Rosalie effortlessly caught it mid air. Her focus instantly shifted to Edwards fast pacing figure. Her first thought was that Rosalie would immediately avoid an unnecessary collision, but her frown deepened when instead the blonde took him on purposely. She blinked, and her heartbeat sped as the two seemed very intent on colliding. She started to panic as the drew closer and closer to one another. She gripped at her jacket and tried to keep her heart rate under control.
"Rose..."
Bella wisphered, watching as the blondes head whipped in her direction. Her eyes met confused golden orbs, and Bella sucked in a breath. Her eye sight wasn't the greatest and may be a bit out off due the yards separating them, but she was positive. She frowned in her own confusion when unchanging concerned eyes bore into her's.
She flinched. The sickening crack echoed through her ears, and her thoughts were set into overdrive at the unmoving blonde. She had half the mind to run over and make sure she was okay, but before she could make a decision; in a split second Rosalie was on her feet, and shoving a smirking Edward furiously. That hit had to at least break a few ribs. Bella shook her head. Vampires heal incredibly fast. That still didn't ease the aching of her own ribs. She watched as the rest of the family tried to tear the two siblings away from one another. They were wrestling in the mud, creating even dirtier uniforms.
Emmett and Jasper pulled the two apart with low chuckles emitting from there throats. This always seemed to happen between the pair. They would knowingly pick at each other. Jasper had felt the spike of jealousy from Edward when Bella whispered Rosalie's name, causing him to use more than too much force into the hit. Though he decided to keep that piece of information to himself. Huffing at the two Rosalie's glare shifted to Bella. Holding in the wince she tried to send the girl a small smile that she knew came off as a grimace. She only hoped Rosalie wouldn't mention her distraction.
With the rain still falling around Bella couldn't be too sure if Rosalie had a smile gracing her lips, while Emmett boasted on about his victory.
Still she couldn't shake security she felt knowing the blonde was fine.
Hope that was enough of Bella and Rosalie for you guy's. I mean I tried to keep them in character while still having a little something going on between the two. Could ya tell me if it was too much too soon? Whelp anyway hope you guy's enjoyed it. Please excuse the mistakes.
Write Ya Later ;)
