Long time no see?

To Daizshajones, Happy Belated

Sorry for Mistakes.

Rosalie stood frozen in fear.

Bella stood frozen anxious in anticipation.

Alice stood frozen shock, for once evident across her face.

It was done, the words had left her mouth and she couldn't take them back. Not that she wanted to but Bella was uncertain if Rosalie was ready; or if she was ready for that matter.

"I-I'm sorry" Bella croaked out.

Rosalie's head snapped up her eyes meeting Bella's confusion written across her face.

"Sorry?" the blonde whispers.

Another gasp reminds the girls that they are not alone in the hallway and Bella quickly grabs Rosalie's arm and drags her into the room.

Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

The word had been so foreign to Rose; sure her family and friends would tell her this often but it wasn't the same thing. Bella had just confessed that she loved her, was she IN love with her? Was it just something she blurted out? Rosalie couldn't be sure, nonetheless with Bella standing in her room gazing at her with those beautiful brown eyes; she was filled with hopefulness.

"Um Rose?" Bella's voice is shaky and uncertain, causing the blonde to give a quizzical look. "Are you okay?" Rosalie nods, moving to take a seat on her bed; her shorts riding up slightly. She points to the space next to her hoping the brunette will understand the meaning.

Once Bella is seated and facing her, a small amount of space between them, the girls sit in silence for minutes both digesting what had just taken place. Bella loved her, Rosalie heard the words herself but did she really mean it? Could she love someone as damaged as her? Someone who wanted to take their own life? Maybe she did; Rosalie sat staring at Bella her coffee eyes filled with nervousness, her cheeks with a tinge of red from the cold. The green jacket she's wearing hanging slightly off her shoulders; with her long hair brushing against it.

"D-Do you want me to leave?" a shake of her head. "Okay, do you want to talk? I know your mom is going to come knocking eventually, so we should talk while we can." The taller girl nods, her blue eyes rising up to meet Bella's.

"Love?" it's all Rosalie can manage to say but she knows Bella will understand the question.

"Yeah" the brunette blushes softly "Love. I um- I love you Rose. I'm sorry about what happened to you" Rosalie stiffens, Bella continues. "Thank you for letting me in, I know it must have been hard but I'm glad you trust me enough to allow me in." Bella moves her eyes downward and focuses them on her hands, afraid to look at the blonde. She fidgets when Rosalie doesn't make any acknowledgement towards her.

Groaning Bella runs her fingers through her hair, peeking up to find Rosalie's eyes not on her but closed with silent tears streaming down her face.

"Rose what's wrong!? Did I say something wrong?" The blonde shakes her head but the tears continue to stream down her face. Not knowing what to do Bella reaches forward to embrace Rosalie in a warm hug her arms wrapping around the crying waist. "We don't have to talk now, I can wait until you're ready."

"Hey" a small shove on her shoulder awakens Bella. "Are you guys going to school today?" Squinting her eyes she glances up to see a blurry Jasper standing over her. "My mom says that she doesn't have to" the older twin gestures towards his still sleeping sister. "But if you want to go you should leave now or you're going to be extremely late."

Bella nods; Rosalie had fallen asleep soon after their conversation was over, drained from the days events. Bella however couldn't fall into slumber so quickly, she stayed awake replaying Rosalie's reaction to her confession, doubt entering her mind. Did the blonde's response mean she didn't feel the same towards her? Or was she just not ready? Sighing Bella slowly removes herself from the bed trying not to wake her girlfriend. The brunette needs to go to school, it's the perfect distraction to take her mind away from this weekend.

"Are you going in today?" she questions Jasper as he is making his way to the door.

"Yes Ma'am" Jasper states walking out of the room.

Bella rotates back around, leans down to place a small kiss on Rosalie's cheek, then with a whispered see you later she swiftly makes her way outside to her car.

"Shit Charlie" Bella swears pulling up to the house. She knew she was going to miss first period but the brunette somehow completely forgot about Charlie. The police cruiser is still sitting in the drive-way, so any chance of avoidance was destroyed. "Guess I'll go ahead and get it over with."

"I'm going to assume you weren't out doing drugs or robbing banks, but I hope you have a pretty damn good reason for leaving the house in the middle of the night on a school night and you're just now walking through the door!" He's upset the 18 year old thought once Charlie finished his speech. He is sitting in his favorite chair, police uniform on, and a tired look upon his face.

"Ch- Dad I'm sorry. Rose had gotten back in town last night, I didn't think, I needed to see her so I just left."

Charlie sat staring at his daughter for a moment before sighing and moving his hands to face.

"You know Bells, I think we need to have a talk about how much time you've been spending over at the Hale household. It's not-"

"Can we talk after school?" the brunette rushes out, disappointment already flooding through her system from Charlie's words and she knows she really needs the distraction of school now. Bella gives the older man pleading eyes then with another long sigh he nods his head and Bella is half way up the stairs.

English is almost over by the time Bella arrives at the school, she contemplates even going in but decides it's for the better. Emmett's Jeep is in its usually spot and so is Edwards Volvo, she wonders who in her little group of friends are attending school today. Waiting until third period to enter the building, she reluctantly treads her way into the building; History is close to the entrance of the school so she knows that there isn't a worry of anyone questioning where she has been all morning.

Mr. Holmes isn't teaching class today, the moment Bella sees the substitute she becomes grateful for the small break of stress. Bella sat in the back of the classroom today, adjusting her black hoodie so it covered as much of her face as it could without the hood being pulled up.

"Isabella!" The sound of Emmett's booming voice makes Bella cringe as she walks into the cafeteria. "I didn't know you were here"

Bella looks towards her normal table where Edward, Angela, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie; Bella froze upon seeing her girlfriend, all sat gazing in her direction. The blonde is seated in between Emmett and her twin, her hair in a bun and Peters green sweatshirt on her body. Rosalie's expression is unreadable, she doesn't seem upset or happy; Bella tries to find her eyes but Rosalie won't meet them.

When did she get here?

"She actually got here before you did" a familiar voice pipes up from behind her. "Esme' dropped us off in the middle of second period."

"Oh okay" Bella nods slowly averting her gaze from her girlfriend to the small pixie beside her.

Alice was naked, well at least according to Bella. The shorter girl was wearing probably the shortest dress she owns, the item stopping just below her ass, it was all black no sleeves and neckline cut outs; from what she could see the back was out as well.

"They let you wear that." Bella deadpans, Alice smiles brightly.

"Of course! Who can tell me no? Now are we going to stand here or are we going to sit down." Before Bella can give a response Alice is already dragging her towards their table.

If I didn't end it here, you guys would be waiting another week or so.

Next chapter is in progress and will be longer.
