Dear diary,

A new girl started school today. Bella Swan, the chiefs daughter with his flighty ex-wife. That's the gossip in town. But that's not what we're worried about.

She smells good. Real good, but we can resist it. Apart from Edward.

It started out as a normal day. Everyone ignoring us. A normal lunch, sitting on our own and playing with our food. The last two lessons passed uneventfully – for me. When we got into Edward's car he was sitting, glaring, furiously and ravenously from black eyes.

'What the hell happened to you?' Emmett demanded.

We all turned to Alice, but she shrugged. She couldn't tell what had happened, just what Edward was planning to do.

'You're leaving?' she whispered.

We all stared at him. Why would he leave Forks? Life wasn't any better for us anywhere else.

'Am I?' he hissed.

Alice began to see something.

'Oh.'

I was frustrated I wasn't in on it, not for the first time. Edward, of course, could see exactly what she was seeing. He glared at her.

'Oh,' Alice said again. Her vision was obviously becoming clearer. Edward didn't like what she was seeing.

'Stop!' Edward groaned. Again, I wondered what she could be seeing.

'Sorry,' Alice apologised. And then she said: 'I'll miss you. No matter how short a time you're gone.'

Emmett and I looked at each other. Why was he leaving? What caused it? How long will he be gone for?

We reached the turn-off to our house from the highway.

'Drop us here,' Alice asked. Edward nodded and stopped the car. Jasper, Emmett and I got out of the car in silence: we would find out what this was about from Alice later.

Alice touched Edward's shoulder.

'You will do the right thing,' she said. It was an order. 'She's Charlie's only family. It would kill him.'

Oh. So this was about the new girl, Isabella Swan. What had she done? Emmett and I exchanged glances again. Edward sped away. But to where?

We all raced home. As soon as Esme saw our faces, confused, fustrated, and impatient, she began to worry.

'Where is Edward?' she asked, her eyes wide.

'He's gone... to think about some things. I don't know when he will be back,' Alice said, her eyes reflecting the concern in Esme's. 'Carlisle will be back soon. Wait till then.'

Carlisle was home much sooner than usual. Edward must have visited him at the hospital. That meant Carlisle knew what was happening. We all waited, perfectly still, while he made his way up the drive. He opened the door and looked at us, all sat waiting for him. Sadness filled his eyes.

'He's gone,' he said in monotone.

'Where?' I asked impatiently.

We all waited for Alice to answer.

'Up North, to Tanya's place, at the moment,' Alice said. This seemed logical enough. 'He seems pretty definite about it right now. I don't know when he's coming back.'

'Why?' Esme asked.

'Isabella Swan,' I spat. I was already beginning to hate this girl. Who was she, an insignificant little human, to alter our lives like this? I wasn't really that worried about Edward leaving, but it was hurting Esme, Alice and Carlisle, and I didn't like that.

'Wait, Rosalie, before you judge,' Alice said, glaring at me. She breathed deeply. 'It isn't Isabella... more her smell.'

'Oh..' Esme said in realisation. We all realised.

It made me angry.

'Her smell? Her smell? All this is about one girl, who none of us have even touched? Because Edward is too weak to resist?' I hissed. I realised everything now.

'Rosalie...' Esme warned. I ignored her.

I glared at Alice. Why was she sticking up for him?

'It was never Jasper we should have worried about. It was Edward. Why does he have to disrupt our lives like this? Make you unhappy? Because he's too weak.' I said angrily through clenched teeth.

'No, Rosalie it not like that -' Alice said quickly. But I was too angry to listen. The fury burned in me and I carried on. 'Of course it's like that! That why he went on a stint when he was a newborn – he couldn't handle it!'

'Rosalie,' Emmett said warily, 'I think you should listen to Alice.'

I looked at him and breathed out steadily, suppressing the anger that had flooded through me. Maybe there was something I had missed. I decided I'd better listen to Alice this time. I turned to look at her.

'Her blood...it's extremely potent to Edward. He feels that if he stays, killing her would be unavoidable,' she explained carefully.

Carlisle looked thoughtful.

'I wonder when he will be coming back. I hope it's not too long,' Carlisle frowned, sadness in his eyes. 'I'm sure he's going to find a way to get round this.'

After that, I couldn't take it any more. Why were they sticking up for him? He could just learn not to be so weak, and stop causing everyone this pain. Carlisle, Alice and Esme were clearly feeling it, and even Emmett and Jasper were missing him. Why can't he just face her, like the rest of us?

I stalked up to my room. Emmett followed soon after.
