Chapter 6

Meanwhile, back at the Cullen's house

Rosalie's point of view

The phone rings, making me yelp. Everyone looks over at me and Emmet chuckles.

"Someone's jumpy tonight" he teases. I ignore him.

"I'll get it" Jasper says quietly. He walks over to the antique glass table and removes the phone from the receiver. "Hello" He says in a friendly tone. "Cullen residence," He pauses "Oh, hey Carlisle. Is something…" but he never finishes his sentence. Suddenly, he gasps. His face turns grave, and Alice jumps to his side for support, and also so that she can hear better. I know what's going on. I know exactly what's going on. They found the human. I never should have gone through with that plan. It was stupid. STUPID! Subconsciously, I knew it would never work. God, I was so desperate! Why didn't I wait and plan it out? It was a spur-of-the-moment plan. Of course it was going to fail! Why didn't I realize that?!?! There is only one thing for me to possibly do. I need to leave. They will find out I did this. I'm sure they will. And then they will murder me. Weather she's dead or alive, they will make me pay. And I won't die for that stupid human. No. I am leaving. Leaving this family, leaving this life, and especially leaving Edward. Maybe he will miss me. Maybe once I am gone, he will realize what he missed out on. But it will be too late. He will suffer, just like I did. Yes, yes. I will go now. I will leave. I can find happiness elsewhere. I will find true love. I shall win in the end. I will fly to Paris tonight. I quickly stand up and walk out of the room, followed instantly by Emmet.

"Where are you going?" he asks me as I open the front closet and pull out a jacket. I don't actually need one, but seeing as it is only about 7 degrees outside, I can't exactly walk outside in a mini skirt and tank top without being noticed.

"I need a… ummm… a walk" I say, offering him a forced grin. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon". He doesn't realize that I completely lied. Good.

"Should I come with you?" He asks, reaching for his own coat.

"Nah," I say, brushing his hand away and shutting the door. "I'll be fine. Go finish your show." He smiles.

"Alright, well, I love you." He smiles.

"Yeah, me too," I say, trying my hardest to sound convincing. He buys it. I run upstairs to my room and grab the biggest purse I own. As quickly as I possibly can, I throw in a brush, a few changes of clothes, my cell phone, my two favorite pairs of Jimmy Choos, and my brown leather wallet. I sigh, and then rush back down the steps, not even taking a final glance at myself in the mirror. I take in one last look at the house, and sprint outside into the cold night air. Jasper is still on the phone. Alice is sobbing uncontrollably. I feel my first pang of guilt, but quickly push it away. I will forget them. I will forget them all. I will run to the airport. It will be faster that way. I take one last deep breath, and I escape into the night.

Jasper's point of view:

"Jasper, I need you to remain calm. She's going to be fine. Please be strong for your family. Everyone needs you right now" Carlisle says sternly. I take a deep breath, and agree.

"Of course, whatever I can do to help" Alice, sobbing, clutches my arm tightly, and I kiss the top of her head. Carlisle thanks me and I place the phone back onto the receiver. I turn to face Emmet. "It's Bella…" I inform him.

"Yeah, I got that part. You know, I'm not exactly deaf," he tells me. But there is no sarcasm in his voice. He is scared as well.

"Jasper" Alice cries into my shoulder. I hug her tightly. "Why would someone do something like this? And… and why didn't I see it coming? I should have caught this!" I rock her back and forth in my arms, trying to comfort her. I fail miserably.

"Why" She sobs. "Why couldn't I see it coming?! What's wrong with me?!"

"Perhaps it was a spur- of- the- moment decision. Maybe it wasn't planned out. Don't beat yourself up, love. It's not your fault" I kiss her lightly in my head.

"Was it a wolf, do ya think?" Emmet asks. "Then she wouldn't see it anyways."

"No, if it was a wolf, Bella would be dead by now, or at least have some tell-tale scars. Carlisle would have mentioned that."

"Is Edward with her?" he asks.

"What do you think, idiot" Alice snapped. "And I should be there as well." She sits up and smoothes out her blouse. "I'm going there to see what I can do"

"Should I drive you?" I ask her, jumping up.

"Nah. I'll be fine" She huffs. "You should be here when Esme gets home. She was in Seattle today, and forgot to take her cell phone. She should be on her way home though. And I don't think its wise to have Emmet break the news to her. No offence, but he isn't exactly the most comforting person." She glares at Emmet. He smiles back awkwardly.

"No problem" I assure her. "Give everyone my best" I kiss her lightly on the lips. She smiles sadly.

"Of course. See you later" She hugs me quickly, and then rushes out the door. I sigh quietly and sit back down, inwardly praying for Bella's safety. I don't think I can handle Edward if Bella… well, dies.
