He looked just as I remember. He looked like me. The right words wouldn't form in my mouth so I threw myself into his arms, hugging him tightly. I tried to speak but the only noise I made was a weird choking one. I couldn't believe it. To my disgust I started crying all over his shirt.

'Dude... I NEED to be you right now.' I threw Emmett a seriously scary death glare as I disentangled myself from Jasper. My brother brushed a piece of hair out of my face staring at me intently and what I saw in his face dissolved one of my worst fears. I had been afraid that he hadn't missed me, that he'd forgotten me.

'Rosie girl, what are you doing here?' whispered Jasper as he hugged me close again. Even at the time I thought I was overreacting but I'd missed Jasper for so long that it was just completely overwhelming to have him right there. He hadn't just been my brother; he'd been my best friend, the only one who understood about Dad and everything else.

'Am I missing something? Do you know each other? Where from? How long ago did you meet? Why didn't anyone tell me? What's going on?' Alice was speaking a mile a minute and when she finally stopped we were all just looking at her with stupefied expressions. 'What? Do I have something on my face?' she ran her hands over her face as we all shook ourselves out of our stupor.

'… This is my sister.' Jasper said quietly, not taking his eyes off my face like he couldn't believe I was actually there in front of him.

'Ohmygawd, I knew you looked familiar and your name as well. Ohmygawd I can't believe I didn't realise it, haha. This is amazing! What are you doing in Forks? Ohmygawd this means you're like a sister to me. Ohmygawd we are gonna be awesome friends. Wow, I need a glass of water.' She walked over to the tap and shakily got herself some water while we all just watched. She took a sip and then walked back over and sat on the stool I had been on. 'Too much at once... Brain overloading with questions… Someone start from the beginning.'

'Umm, well you all know about Rosie, I've told you about what happened and everything.' He explained before he turned back to me, 'But what are you doing here? Does He know?' I took a deep breath

'I've moved here.' I said quickly. Jasper looked at me in disbelief then I saw anger I his eyes

'Has He moved here as well?' He asked roughly

'No. It's just me.' I sat down on a stool again but this time on the one next to Jasper. 'I told Dad that I didn't want him controlling my life anymore, that I wanted to choose my next school and that I wanted it to be in Forks. He was mad but he'll get over it. He has another PlayBunny to occupy him anyway.'

'He's remarried?' I nodded 'so where is He now?' Jasper asked, his hatred for Dad in his voice.

'On the A380, first class to France.' I said, echoing his bitterness, '"I haven't been to France since my first wife".' I said, imitating Dad's deep voice.

'Wow Jazz, I am so happy for you,' Emmett said earnestly.

'Thanks Em.' Jasper said

'… I mean, your sister is fiiiiiiiine.' At exactly the same time Jasper and I grabbed apples from the fruit bowl next to us and ditched them at Emmett's head.

'You missed.' He said as he ducked to the side smoothly.

'Thanks for lunch Mrs Cullen.' I said after I had finished my third slice of pie. It was so good I would have sold my left leg for a lifetime supply.

'Call me Esme please, Mrs Cullen is my mother-in-law.' she laughed and started clearing up the dishes. I got up to help but she waved me away. 'You're my guest, don't worry about this.'

I looked at Alice and she shrugged,

'I wouldn't try arguing with her. She's as stubborn as Emmett.'

'Heyyy…' Emmett and Esme said in unison.

'So Rosie, where are you staying until school starts?' Alice asked, picking up on Jasper's nickname for me.

'I was just going to stay at the school.'

'You can stay here. We have three spare bedrooms so it'll be no problem. We can have a slumber party. It'll be awesome. Emmett will like it too because he can drool over you every second of the day and not have to worry about his spank bank.' I choked on the mouthful of water spraying it across the table.

'Attractive.' Jasper said as Emmett pissed himself laughing.

'I hate you Alice but Rose, That was hilarious!'

'Alice, don't be crude please.' Esme said disapprovingly.

'Oops. Sorry mum.' She smiled and it was obvious she wasn't sorry at all. 'Let's go to Carrie's and tell her the surprise.' She lightly nudged my arm to let me know I was supposed to follow her and we filed out of the kitchen and made our way out the back door and down the side alley that came off their driveway.

Alice and Jasper were walking in front of me, their arms around each other and I couldn't help feeling deliriously happy. The look on my brother's face when he looked at Alice was the happiest expression I had ever seen him wear. Alice returned his smile and I knew that she felt the same. I was jealous of them because I had never had anything like that but overjoyed because their happiness was contagious and you couldn't help but smile around them. Emmett was walking behind me, his hands in his pockets, kicking the ground.

'What's wrong Emmett?' I said, chuckling. He looked up apologetically

'Alice was joking by the way… I don't really have a spank bank!'

'Haha I know. Don't worry about it. It was funny.' I laughed. Emmett looked relieved and immediately cheered up.

'We're not far now. It's just a block away.'

'Okay. It's cool that you live so close. Does Edward live near here?'

'Why? You're not like… into him are you?' Emmett said, his eyes narrowing

'Eww, god no. He is wayyy too arrogant for me.' I shuddered at the thought.

'Yeah he does have a pretty big 'higher-than-thou' attitude when you don't know him. I don't know if I've just gotten used to him or whether he just doesn't act like that around us anymore' he shrugged just as Jasper and Alice stopped in front of us. We were there. Jasper's house was smallish and built with grey bricks. It looked like something from a Brother's Grimm tale with its dark walls and gothic windows.

'It used to be a church or something. Pretty cool ehh?' Emmett said quietly.

'It's gorgeous.' I muttered. Jasper opened the gate and walked into the back yard. I wondered what the front of the house must look like. The garden was cute with little flower beds filled with roses and daisies and a swing in a large oak tree.

'Jasper? Is that you Hon?' we had just reached the back door when Carrie came around the side of the house. She was wearing grubby overalls and large dirty gloves. She must have been gardening out the front. 'Hey kids. Did you get all your things to the school alright?' I couldn't stop staring. Carrie was as gorgeous as she had ever been with strawberry blonde hair and a smile just like Jasper's, shy but welcoming. She noticed me staring at her and brought her hand up to shade the sun 'Sorry…it's not... Rosie?' she said hesitantly, I nodded slowly and she ran forward, hugging me. 'You've grown so tall! Just like your mum! My god, you're gorgeous!' she hugged me tightly and it took me back to the times she picked Jasper up from Dad's. She always gave me a hug and a kiss, saying she loved me and missed me even though I didn't even know her that well. She was just that kind of person; she was one of those everyone's mum kind of women.

'Hi Carrie.' I managed to choke. I was trying so hard not to cry. Once in one day was enough for me.

We figured out that for that before school started I would stay with Carrie and Jasper. Alice met her other roommate and her dream of being in a room of prodigies was crushed when her second roomie, Tanya Denali, turned out to be dumber that a box of Jessica Simpson's and two years older that all of us. Alice of course knew they'd be the best of friends. Esme and Carlisle had left for their trip around Europe and I got to know Forks. I've lived in quite a few places around the world; India, Milan, Rome, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Sweden and the Netherlands but I had never found a place that felt like home but in Forks was the closest I had found. It was easy to understand people and they were all friendly and helpful. I went shopping with Alice and spent time getting to know Jasper again. I watched bad movies with Emmett and actually started to really like him; he was really funny, adorable and just a really nice guy. I didn't see much of Edward because he was spending time with his family after spending three months in Italy. Then, before any of us were ready, it was time for school again.

Alice, Emmett, Jane Paine, Tanya Denali, myself and the three hundred other boarders were all gathered outside the auditorium where we had been told to report at six pm sharp so that they could brief us on the rules and such of the school for boarders. We were still waiting outside at six-thirty because of some IT problems.

Alice and Tanya were talking enthusiastically about the few malls in Forks, Jane was sending everyone evil death glares and Emmett was walking his Nintendogs so I was left to look at the students around us. They all looked like they came from well off families and most were standing in haughty looking groups around the entrance to the Auditorium.

'Hey, does anyone know why we're still out here?' I looked behind me to see a girl of about average height and weight trying to talk to a bunch of audio/visual nerds. She had dark brown hair and vampire white looking skin. When the nerds said they didn't know why they were stuck outside she took a couple of steps and then looked around her. She looked kind of lost so I assumed she was a new kid, like myself. I turned back to Emmett who was training his puppy to sneeze or something; he just kept yelling 'achoo' into his DS. I turned back when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

' Hi, I'm Lauren Mallory. You're new right? Your dad owns that record company?' Lauren was the same height as me and obviously thought of herself as a 'Queen Bee'. I was the 'Queen Bee' at my old schools but I realised after a while I didn't like being a bitch and to stay at the top you had to beat everyone else down which meant you had to be a bitch. I knew from Lauren's face that she was trying to recruit me because of who my father was and honestly, that pissed me off.

'No actually my father works at a peanut butter factory, you must have me mistaken with someone else.' I said sweetly, plastering a fake smile on my face. Lauren wrinkled her nose, an expression that meant I was beneath her and wasting her time. I happen to be an expert at that face.

'Oh. Well, nice meeting you. Hi Emmie' she said falsely as she stalked off.

'God I hate her.' Emmett said from behind me. 'I'm the only one on the football team she hasn't slept with and I wanna keep it that way.' He shuddered and I laughed but I was also upset because that was how I used to be and I didn't want Emmett to hate me if he found that out about me.

'Hey guys, they're going in.' Alice called as people started to move towards the auditorium again. Emmett put away his DS and slung his arm over my shoulder and said jokingly,

'Welcome to Boarding school Babe.'

AN: Hey guys, Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Hopefully I will a bit more regularly now. Hope you liked it. Review and tell me what you think.
