Sorry it took so long to, yet again, update. I have been having a serious case of writers block. *gasp* . I know, it's terrible, but luckily I have a few chaps that are done (just needs to be checked), so enjoy ch5!!


"Hello there, Rosalie." I sneered. She gave me a look that could probably kill, and I smirked.

I always wanted to be friends with Rose, believe it or not. I wanted to have just one conversation without her glaring at me or insulting me, but she was always…Rose-like. Beautiful but be careful for she has thorns.

"Hello, Bella, it's nice to know that you haven't done anything stupid to yourself, yet. Did you finally get over Edward yet?" I smiled sincerely which seemed to aggravate her.

"Oh I have. I wasn't going to sulk over any of you." I got up and crossed my arms, "So, why did you leeches come back? Here to harass some more humans?"

She scoffed, "Wow, Bella, you've turned bitter."

I frowned, "No, not bitter, just looking out for my kind."

She inched closer to me, "Why don't you just drop the act. You know you still love him, sad but true. Why don't you just try to get over it for once instead of acting so stubborn?"

"You don't have the right to say I haven't got over it. You haven't even seen me since you left." And then a memory came back to me, "Or were you the one I saw at Valentine's Day?"

Rose just smirked, "You are quite observant. So, care to tell how you got so…abrasive?"

Long story, don't want to talk about it.

"Nope." I popped the 'p.'

Annoyance filled her eyes and tone, "Come on Bella, we're all adults here."

Really? For a second I thought I was talking to a brat.

I sighed. "Rose, I would love to chat, but I have to go home. You know, do HUMAN things with my HUMAN family and friends. Why don't you go back to your family of parasites?" I said as politely as I could with just a speck of venom here and there.

She glowered at me for a while, and then a smirk came across her face, "So you don't ever want to see Esme or Alice again?" I bit my lip and clenched my fist.

Of course I wanted to see them again. They were still like family to me…well…just a little. Okay, I still felt a little close to the Cullen family, but I still don't like them.

I hate them.

But I miss them.

Such a contradiction.

"I don't." I said simply.

"You're lying." Am I still a bad liar or is Rose just good at the whole interrogation thing?

"Ok, I am, but why do you care? Wasn't I just a nuisance? Shouldn't you be all happy and celebrating that the THREAT is out of your hair?" She winced at what I said, which confused me.

"Bella," Her tone was soft which also scared me. I was starting to think of ways to escape; this Rosalie was very…foreign to me, "I know I was being out of line with you. I just felt that you were making a big mistake...and…" Was she…nervous? I never seen Rose lost for words before.

I instantly felt sort of bad. Was she trying to say something that might be embarrassing to her? I tried to remember all the bad things she's ever said to me and the way she glared at me, but the old nice me just wouldn't die like a weakling.

I sighed in defeat, "Victoria came back." She looked at me questionably.

"You asked how I got this…It started after Victoria attacked me and one of my friends, Angela. We were in the house, and Victoria came through my bedroom window." This is why I shall never forget to lock my windows again.

"She attacked me at first, and then decided to make my closet friend suffer. I felt…angry, but I also felt something inside…awake." I tried not to look away, afraid she might catch my lie, "Before she tried to attack Angela, she had broken both my arms and messed me up pretty badly." I actually had a few scars to prove it.

"Thankfully, before Angela could be seriously hurt, the La Push wolves came and killed Victoria." I bit my lip again, sparing all the feelings of self-hatred for being such a weakling and not being able to do anything.

"I felt my muscles pulsing ever since that day. My attitude changed and I guess I became more confident, angrier, and stronger." But I couldn't help but feel that in a way, my change was for the worse. "I asked Jacob if he would train me, so that I could kill vampires so attacks like that would never happen again in Forks. I got over all of you; I just haven't gotten over the pain Victoria caused me." It was true. Victoria caused this to happen to me, in a way, and she also hurt my friends, not just Angela. Jacob was severely injured for weeks, and some of the others got hurt too, like Sam and Quil.

I realized that through most of the story, I was looking down. I looked up and was taken off guard. Rose looked…sympathetic? Oh my God, I'm in some twisted story aren't I?

Fortunately, my cell phone rang. I internally giggled at my ringtone. Jacob and Angela decided that "La La Land" was the perfect ringtone for me. I'll have to get them back later.

"Excuse me." I mumbled. I got out my phone and opened it, "Hello?" I asked.

"Bella?"

It was Angela, and she seemed…frightened?

"What is it, Angela? Are you ok? Is Jacob ok?"

"Yeah, it's just…just please come home quickly." She sounded so panicked. So after I assured her that I would be there and said goodbye, I started to walk off until someone grabbed me by the arm. Rosalie.

"Bella, what happened?" I shook her hand off my arm and just continued to walk. I kept reminding myself that vampires are nothing but trouble. Rosalie took hold of my arm again.

"Bella, tell me what happened or so help me I'll call Edward." I flinched. She was really going to use Edward to get to me.

"That's low Rosalie." I said sarcastically. "It's not like I care. And if you two even try to even slow me down I'll cut you down without hesitating." I was hoping she would just take my bluff and go so I didn't have to waste time.

She didn't.

She outright laughed. "Just because your all superhuman now doesn't mean I'm scared of you, Bella. Plus, it's two against one." I lifted one of my eyebrows. If only she knew how many vampires I killed at the same time.

"Try me." I said simply. She had an evil look in her eyes that almost scared me. Almost.

"Edward." She said, just loud enough for someone in a close range to hear. Suddenly, I felt a wind sweeping towards Rosalie and there he was, good looks and all.

I fought, internally, on whether I should just make my escape or make a smart comment. I just couldn't do things the easy way.

"Wow, Edward, it seems these days they just keep summoning you like a pet." I smirked as Rose tried to hide her laughter. I took that as my cue to run before they could catch me.

And that's how the whole chase began.

I was running, fast, and Rose and Edward were running after me although Edward was almost catching up to me since he was also fast. I tried to lose them by changing direction every now and then. Rosalie lost me after the second try, but Edward was right on my trail. This was really getting annoying. Eventually, like every human, I got tired and cursed myself for being weak. I should have worked out with Jacob last week.

Edward grabbed me, but I just happened to trip and we both fell on the ground and I landed on my back. And yeah, it hurt, especially since Mr. Hard as Concrete landed on me. I looked up in his eyes that were burning in mines. It was like high school all over again, but something was off. His eyes were black and tired, and he somehow looked…sad. I couldn't help to feel that maybe this was…my fault? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

My hand had a mind of its own, and brushed his face. Even though his face was filled with sadness, I couldn't help to feel that he was still beautiful beyond compare. He was still the perfect image of a Greek God. He was still my perfect vampire that I loved, note the past tense, but he wasn't mine anymore.

When I had realized that, I slipped away from him and pleaded, "Please don't follow me Edward. I know I have been mean and all, but I just…don't feel the way I did about you anymore." And the tears from my eyes betrayed me. I wanted to stop all this…I was hurting him and I was hurting the rest of the Cullens. Part of me still wanted them to hurt, and this part of me basically took control of me every time I thought of them, but a part of me…I don't know…just wanted to be free of this hatred and pain. But I didn't want to do that, I wanted them to feel my pain, I wanted them to hurt, and I wanted them to see how it hurt me not just because he left me, but because they left me when I needed them the most.

"Bella," he said, his voice full of sadness, "Please…just forgive me…I never meant to say those things to you…I do love you, but I wanted you to be safe. I'm sorry I never thought of how you would feel if I left; I thought you would just…be happy and live a normal life after I left, instead of having to go through all of this pain. I'm such a threat to you; I don't want you to get hurt, but I guess I still couldn't avoid hurting you, huh?" He said the last part with dark humor in his voice.

I was silent, just digesting what he had said. I realized that I didn't want to believe he loved me, and I didn't want to forgive him. If we just picked up where we left off, I would be scared that I would be hurt again.

That was one of my few fears that terrified me.

I didn't want to be hurt again.

So like a coward, I turned on him and left.

I should feel very victorious since this was almost like when he left me, but I wasn't. I was confused, this is what I wanted…to leave him like he did me and just gloat to my friends, sadly, that wasn't what I felt like doing.

Deciding to focus on Jacob and Angela, I ran with tears streaming my face.


I hope that appeases you guys for now and I promise I will update sooner than before. So review, favorite, alert, and pray that the writers block will go away .
