Also, I know I said I would be updating yesterday but I was on holidays and had to pack everything up and buy some last minute gifts since I had a flight today early in the morning. Anyways, here it is.

After Tonight – Justin Nozuka

Rosalie POV

"I'm loving this vacations Jasper…Everyone's here! Can you believe it? It's like so OMFG."

"Hum…me too." he said sounding not that thrilled, while zapping through our TV channels.

"You know, Jake is awesome and so are his parties. The Reservation guys really know how to rock it. Miami and the Quileute people in the house!" I shouted as I lay down on the sofa.

My Miami friends were installed in a hotel in Port Angeles (till the day they kicked everyone out for two days that, btw, were the craziest ever. I can't even remember where and what we had been doing) but they would go the Reservation almost every day.

Since the Cullens and Bella had gone to Europe during Christmas holidays the parties were Emmett-free. I only regretted Alice and Bella not being here. They were good friends and I loved the attention they gave me…more Alice since she was always thinking what she would do next and where to include me in the spotlight.

'You know you wished Emmett was here…' my inner voice (a.k.a my conscience) shouted from down there, but like really really down there. I didn't like it when she spoke.

Yet, Yorkie guy was always around. He was like a mini-Alice. My Miami girl friends absolutely loved him. He had a great sense of fashion and was also a great friend. His hysterical screams when we showed our Chanel, Rocco Barrocco or Vuitton purses and clothes were absolutely adorable. We had adopted him as our «pet».

"Jasper I wanna watch Jersey Shore…please?"

"Hum…ok."

"Hey Jazz…are you feeling ok?"

"Dunno…I guess not."

"What is it? You've been like this since the Cullens party. I promise you I won't laugh my ass off. You know you can trust me Jazz…" Okay, I wasn't a really good listener since I tended to tease everyone up, but I tried to keep it clean for my brother.

"Oh God…this is kinda embarrassing…"He got on his feet, walking towards the window. "It's because of Alice…' he almost whispered the last words. 'She is in Europe and stuff…"

"Oh god…you and Alice…?"

"Yeah…but this time is different. It's like I've found my soul mate. You may think that it's too soon to say these things but…I just feel it you know?" I smiled. My brother was completely in love with that girl. "I felt the connection since day one."

My cell phone rang, screaming for me to answer the call. "Maybe it's Quil. I forgot to tell you he needs to talk to you Rose"

"Uh?" I frowned "Mum's calling me? What does she want this time?" I whined. "Hi Mother!"

"Hello darling. How are you doing there?"

"We're doing great here."

"Oh…hum, well I talked with Paulina, Josh's mother and she told me everyone is there. Is everything okay darling?"

"Yes. My Miami friends came to visit me and no, we are not doing…don't worry you know I wouldn't be capable of doing something to embarrass my Mother." I tried to sound as ironic as I could.

"I see…Well I just wanted to tell you that I want you to return to Pageant Contests. I'm pretty sure that if you start practicing now you will be able to participate in next year's Miss USA Contest."

"Really? What the hell are you planning to do this time? I'm not your Barbie anymore ..."

"Don't worry about it. I'm your mother, you know all I want is the best for you guys" she sounded so cynical "Rosalie I just want to warn you that you must win Miss USA's title. So you'll need to practice very hard. Also I want you to keep on practicing for the Cheerios because you need to be in perfect shape. Not that you need it much but it's just for me to be sure."

"But there's a slight problem in that brilliant plan of yours…I'm not Miss Florida."

"Don't worry darling. Mr. Donald Trump is a very kind man, very influent and also a Hale's close friend…"

"You're the boss." I joked.

"I've got to go by now. Tell your brother I love him."

"He is here with me…You can talk to him…"I suggested.

"Oh I don't have time to waste…Good-bye."

"Our mother is such a nice person…" Jazz ironically stated. "What did she want this time?"

Vacations were almost over and between all the parties I had to still find time to practice for the Pageants.

As if it wasn't enough I also had to attend extra Cheerios practice because my coach wanted us to participate in a Cheerleading Competition or whatever you call it. And this time things wouldn't be easy since Sue Sylvester had returned to competitions. As far as I knew she had won five competitions in a row…

In the meantime, my friends had already returned to Miami and part of me was relieved it happened ever since Josh and I had broken up. One of my friends had sent me a message with a photo of my now new ex-BFF Rachel making out with him. 'Slut!'

"Hey, Rose…Don't think about it anymore. The guy is a total jerk. If he was here I would have punched is pretty face off." Embry declared angrily.

"Yeah, I can't believe we actually thought he was a cool dude…"

Jake and his friends were so passionate about every aspect of their lives. They lived to protect their family and friends. And it felt really nice to be around them. It was like they had a warm energy that filled every room they entered.

"Ok…I don't wanna hear about Josh or Rachel anymore. Plus you promised me you would take me to my Pageant practice..."

"Let's go then. And Rose's coming with me on my motorbike 'cause she told me she likes them big and thick...ahah."

"Oh god Embry…you just didn't!" Jake opened his eyes.

"Oh…you twisted perverted mind…I was talking about the motorbike seats! What else could it be?" Embry joked, making an innocent look. I felt like rolling on the floor laughing.

They gave me a lift to Port Angeles where I was supposed to meet with my coach. "Remember guys…the Pageant Contests thing stays between us, right?"

"You're the boss…I mean, the Beauty Queen...ahah"

"Don't worry…what happens in La Push, stays in La Push. If you need something just call us 'cause we are as fast as lightning."

I smiled and started walking away when my cell phone vibrated. My heart skipped a beat. Emmett had texted me.

Tomorrow Ill b back. Wanna hang out?

Need 2 talk 2 u.

I wasn't sure about going out with Emmett since he had really let me down. Yet, I we needed to set some things straight so it would be perfect.

"Hey Rose!"

I turned to see who had called me. There was a blond haired guy holding a red skateboard.

I frowned my eyebrows. What did he want?

"Who the…?"

"Don't you remember me? It's Nick Sebraras. We used to be neighbours in Miami."

"Nick? The Nick who lived in the Wooden Maison? It's really you? What happened?"

"My dad got a f***ing stupid promotion and we had to come here…"

"OMG, you have no idea how sad I was when you left. You were like my BFF back then..."

"Yeah…great times…" he dropped the skateboard and put his hands on his pockets.

"You shouldn't have left Miami."

"Yeah…I heard the news. You're pretty known in L.A., Miami, New York and s**t…"

"You must be one of the few people that actually knows that I exist beyond this place. I mean, Rosalie Hale? I'm everywhere…or at least I used to be before I got here."

"By the way, what the f*** are you doing here?"

"It's complicated…I'm currently living here with Jazz and attending classes in Forks High School…You?

"Looks like we are rivals…" Nick joked. "My team is Port Angeles High School…"

"That's great! Maybe next time our teams meet in the field you can tell your team to smash Emmett Cullen…

"You're talking to the right guy…I'm the captain…"

"Awesome…look I really have to go…can you give me your number? Maybe we could hang out together some day…"

Okay, I didn't see that one coming. Finding Nick Sebraras in Port Angeles was the last thing I had expected. His face didn't change much though. He still had that mischievous smile and his lovely blond hair and…oh god, irresistible green eyes. And he sure had grown up…

"Jazz, you won't believe who I found today! Nick Sebraras lives in Port Angeles." I told my brother when he picked me up after my practice.

"Nick's here? Damn, after so many years…gee…" he looked nostalgic. "I thought we had gotten rid of him…" My brother and Nick didn't get along very well. Jazz never liked him and Nick didn't even care."

"Yeah, I got his number so that we could hang out some day."

"You know I don't like him…Be careful with that guy Rose." He gave me a warning look.

"Gee, cut it off Jazz. Btw, the Cullen's arrive tomorrow."

"I know…Alice called me. She invited me to go over their place." Jasper informed as he parked his car in our garage.

Consuela came to open the door carrying her usual smile around. "Niños, I've just finished cooking."

"Great, I'm going to take a quick shower…what's for dinner?"

"Bean stew…you'll love it."

After my shower and dinner I couldn't take it anymore…I was too tired to do anything so I called Jake to tell him I wouldn't go over that night. I also texted Eric to tell him that we had to cancel our plans 'cause the Cullen's were to arrive the following day.

I was so tired but because of everything that had happened during those vacations I had a hard time trying to fall asleep. 'Stupid Emmett…Asshole Josh…Rachel bitch…Nick Sebraras…' I couldn't get them out of my head but I was feeling really tired.

I woke up at 12 p.m. with my phone ringing. I picked it up and answered "Gee, you people leave me alone! I was sleeping!" I practically screamed.

I let my head drown in the pillow. I didn't want to wake up. I felt worse than having a hangover… The phone rang again but this time I was decided not take the call. Yet the music was about to blow my brain. "WHAT?"

"Good morning…? I'm sorry…I didn't want to disturb you but we had plans today remember…?" Emmett's voice told me. "I'm here waiting for you, 'kay?"

"Where?" I was really in a bad mood.

"I'm sitting in my car outside your house Rose."

"Oh god…sorry. Come in." I told him as I managed to get out of my bed and hung up the call. The doorbell rang so I ran downstairs to open the front door.

Emmett quickly entered my house. His perfume invaded my senses and I felt like hugging him but I was still angry so I restrained myself from doing so.

"You can wait there." I pointed to my living room. "I'll be back soon."

Emmett's POV

I sat on the couch in her living room. Seeing Rose in her short pijamas was a vision…a Goddess …she felt comfortable with me around. It's a progress right?

Yet, I had felt the tension between us and I was pretty sure she was really mad at me… 'I'm such an ass…'

"Emmett…I think we should talk first. We can't postpone this and since my brother's not here and Consuela has gone shopping..." She surprised me by entering her living room still in her pj's.

"Uh…I guess you're right." I wasn't really sure about what I was supposed to say so I just told her to sit by my side. 'Don't look at the boobs…don't look at the boobs.'

"You know…At the beginning you seemed to be like a really nice guy. I trusted you…And…I…you really hurt me that night. I just can't keep handling that sort of things. As a matter of fact I don't have to do so."

I looked her in the eyes and grabbed her hands between mine before answering. "I'm really sorry Rose. I thought of it every single day of my vacations. I really want to make things up…for you…I care about you so much that…"

"Why did you react that way? There was no need to call me a whore nor to treat me as if I were one!" I didn't answer. "Why did you treat me that way?"

"'Cause I had a bad feeling about Josh and I was really mad at you because you didn't see that…" Okay, this was also sort of true but not the real truth. I mean I couldn't just tell her that I had been jealous.

"I hope you're talking for real…'cause it's really hard to resist when you put that face…" She bended over and hugged me. Her scent…I had waited all my holidays to feel it again.

"I didn't mean those things…You're so important to me..."I added. "I just want us to be friends again."

She let herself stay in my arms, gently leaning her head on my shoulder. "…so…where have you been?"

"Volterra, Italy…I have family there…my mother's brothers. It's great fun with them. Big Italian family: my uncles Marcus, Caius and Aro, my aunts and tons of cousins…"

"Nice…"

"Yeah…it's really fun there 'cause they own almost everything there and they have this huge farm called Volturi's Fattoria so there's always something to do. It's impossible getting bored there."

"I've been once in Volterra when I was like three years old. My mum took me to a photo shoot there for an Italian magazine. I just remember wanting to play in a kids play place they had there…"

A sea of golden hair was waving gently, the most beautiful frame for the most beautiful portrait. Two violet eyes glanced at me and I felt strange. Her perfect skin, a sea of happiness surrounding her. The little girl smiled at me and then she disappeared forever.

Again, the vision of the little girl hit me but I didn't give it much a thought. It was just a coincidence. Yet, Roses' violet eyes found mine and her perfect smile delighted me.

Our heads were so close I could feel her warm breath in my face. Just one kiss and the distance between us would vanish…

I smiled. She hadn't disappeared forever. She was right in front of me. The girl, the angel I once saw…

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing…nothing much…" I felt my heart blazing.

"You have no idea how much I needed you these holidays…"

'Eheh, she missed me…' I thought to myself…'Great…!'

"Josh and I broke up." she sounded heartbreaking. "But that wasn't the worst part…"

"What happened?"

"I sort of caught Josh and Rachel making out...And she was my BFF…"

I didn't know what to say 'cause part of me felt happy about them breaking up…still I gently embraced her and kissed her cheek, feeling the soft skin against my lips.

We stayed like this for hours. We didn't talk, but I felt she just needed to be with me. I cuddled her and ran my fingers through her soft golden hair, feeling her sweet smell everywhere,

It had been the reconnection between me and Rosalie. And I swore to myself that I would fight for her. I loved her and I would find a way for her to notice me.
