Rosalie POV

"You have got to stop avoiding Bella," Alice exclaimed, bursting into my room.

I glared at her. "Who says I'm avoiding her?" I asked. I was avoiding Bella but that wasn't the point.

"I do," Alice said. She plopped down onto my bed. "And so does she. I had a vision of her confronting you. It only lasted for thirty seconds and then she changed her mind. She thinks you wanted her to get hit by the van."

The brush I was holding snapped in half. "Why in the hell would she think I wanted her dead? Why would a human assume someone wants them dead?"

"Because you are ignoring her!" Alice yelled. "We have all taken the time to get to know her, to build relationships with her. Jasper is doing great. He's been close to her and I haven't had a single vision of him doing anything. And you can't get the god damned nerve to introduce yourself!"

Jasper came into the room, probably due to the heated emotions. "Everything alright here?" he asked, even though I was sure he knew the answer better than I did.

"I swear Rosalie," Alice continued completely ignoring Jasper's presence. "If anything happens to Bella because you're too busy being a coward…"

She didn't get a chance to finish. I was crouched down in front of her. Angry didn't even begin to cover how I was feeling. "You know nothing," I snarled.

Jasper started to crouch down but Alice put a hand on his shoulder. "Do not interfere," she told him. If I wasn't so angry I would have wondered about that. She turned her attention to me. "You are being selfish Rosalie and it's not fair to Bella. You haven't seen what I have. If you would just…"

She didn't get to finish what she was saying. Angry vampires were dangerous. I don't know what Alice was thinking pissing off an already angry vampire. At that moment I didn't care. I grabbed her and threw her through the window and out of the house.

Jasper was snarling as he jumped out of the house to go check on her. I jumped down as well, ready to attack Alice again if she started talking.

Jasper was crouched down in front of Alice. I could hear Alice trying to calm him but it wasn't working. Emmett, after hearing the noise, had joined us outside. He crouched down in front of me, ready to protect me if a fight broke out.

"What is going on?" Emmett asked. No one answered him.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale!" the very angry Esme yelled. Shit. I was in trouble. We may have been alive for more than a hundred years but Esme knew how to make us feel like a little kid. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Esme stormed outside with a spatula in her hand. I had no idea why she had a spatula, especially considering no one ate.

"Who said it was me?" I asked. I hoped I looked innocent.

Esme glared at me. "I saw Alice go flying out of the window," she said crossing her arms over her chest. She glanced at Jasper and Emmett still crouched down ready to attack. "Oh for Heaven's sake, knock it off you two. Jasper I understand you're upset but Alice is not hurt."

Emmett straightened up but didn't move from his position in front of me. Jasper took longer to move out of his crouch. The soothing words from Alice were enough to calm him.

"Rosalie," Esme said rounding on me. "I don't care what it was that Alice did to upset you. We do throw each other out of windows. Do you understand?" I nodded. "Good. Now you will fix that window or so help me…"

She didn't need to finish her train of thought. I knew exactly what would happen to me if I didn't do what she wanted. "Yes Esme," I said bowing my head.

"Good, now whatever is going on with you two," she looked between me and Alice, waving the spatula, "you need to fix it, now."

With those words Esme walked back to the house, pausing briefly to stare at the mess I made. Emmett followed Esme to the house leaving Alice, Jasper and I.

Jasper turned his attention to me. "Rosalie, you're my sister and I love you. But don't ever throw Alice out of a window again." The threat was there even if he didn't say it.

I nodded. Jasper ran off toward the woods, most likely to go hunting.

"Alice," I began.

Alice held up her hand. "Me first, please. I'm not sorry for what I said." I growled. I no longer wanted to apologize for throwing her out of the window. "Listen please. It wasn't my intention to hurt you but I had to say those things. I looked at many possible futures. It was the only one that worked. The only one that helped you."

"How did this help me?" I growled.

"I can't tell," Alice said sadly. "I know you don't trust me right now but please listen. I swear this is for your benefit. I know you don't trust me," she repeated. "But please try."

"I'm going to go hunt before I fix that window," I announced. Anything to get away from Alice and this conversation.

"Rosalie," Alice called when I got to the edge of the woods. I stopped but didn't turn around. "I know you keep an eye on her, just watch her around Edward please."

I had every intention of hunting but instead I ran. I had no destination in mind. I simply ran throughout Forks. I ran and ran until I found myself outside of a familiar house, Bella's house. I had never been here but everyone in town knew where Chief Swan lived.

I climbed the tree next to her house and watched. I could smell Bella from outside as well another human which I assume was her father, Charlie. The scents were similar enough that it had to be someone related to Bella.

I also smelled Edward. It wasn't as strong as Bella's scent, or even Charlie's scent, which meant he wasn't here now but still he had been here recently.

I watched Bella for a minute. She was working on homework. She was mouthing something to herself. I recognized it as math problems. It was a way in for me. I could help her with homework. It would make Alice happy if nothing else.

Another minute had passed and I jumped down from the tree and ran back home. I would not be some creepy stalker. She was safe and I didn't need to watch her.

There was something else that bothered me. Edward's scent. It was all over the tree I was in. I had no idea if it was inside. It was hard to tell without going inside myself. That was something I would never do unless I was invited.

The thought of him inside her room without her knowledge made me want to rip him into pieces. I had no idea why I felt like that. It was a feeling I couldn't identify, something I had never felt before.

I pushed myself off the rock I was leaning on. It was time to fix the window I broke. Thoughts of Bella were pushed to the back of my mind while set off to work. Luckily we had the supplies in a shed behind the house. Esme always kept extra windows and home repair supplies on hand.

I was putting the final touches on the window when I heard footsteps behind me and caught his scent. It was Edward.

"What were you doing outside of Bella's house?" Edward demanded. Well hello to you too brother. He didn't acknowledge my thoughts.

"I was checking on her," I responded. It was mostly true. I did check on her but that wasn't the reason for going there. "Why was your scent all over the place?"

"That's none of your concern," Edward said crossing his arms over his chest.

"You were in her room," I realized. "Did she know you were in her room?" Nothing. "So she didn't. You've done a lot of messed up shit Edward but going into her room without her knowing is topping the list."

My thoughts went to the night I became a vampire. One of the worst things about being a vampire, besides the never aging and no chance of ever having a family, was my memory. I would forever remember the night my fiancé, at the time, gang raped and murdered me.

It was always my first reaction when it came to men. It was one of the reasons Emmett and I never worked out. Even though I trusted him more than anyone else, I couldn't never get over that fear that he was going to hurt me. After being thrown through so many walls Emmett realized it as well.

Edward looked horrified by my thoughts. "I would never."

I felt a little guilty about my thoughts. I knew Edward well enough to know that he would never do something like that. He was a decent guy, young and immature sure, but he wasn't Royce. "I know," I said with a sigh.

Nothing I could say would stop him, but I vowed to keep an eye on him. Alice's warning echoed through my brain. Was this what she was trying to warn me about? Would Edward kill her in her room? She was his singer after all. Would we have to leave because of it?

"I like her Rose," Edward said. It was like he was begging me to understand what he was doing. I would never understand hiding in a teenage girl's room.

One of the perks of being a vampire was we could think of many different things at once. It made it easy for us to hide our thoughts from Edward. It wasn't perfect. Only our main thoughts were accessible to Edward, if something we wanted hidden came to the forefront of our mind. Then he would know. Practice made it easier.

"I don't care," I said honestly. I really didn't care if he liked her or not.

Edward gave up and left my room. I briefly contemplated getting a do not disturb for my door.
