Chapter 4: I wonder why?
Bella's POV:
When we got back to the house, Alice & Edward were still talking about how and why Rosalie had been changed back into a human. I had been woken up by them when we started going down the turnoff for the house. I wish that they would stop talking about it; I mean it would be change for Rosalie, but I thought that she would like being a human again. It seemed like something she would want.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the house, Edward climbed out, with me still in his arms. We walked inside & they kept talking about it. After a couple minutes of this, I'd had enough.
"Can you guys please stop talking about this, it's bugging me, let's talk about something else. What are we going to be doing tomorrow?" I say, exasperated.
"I'm sorry, love, I didn't realize that it was bothering you, I'm not sure what we'll be doing tomorrow. Oh, and Emmett is running in right now, he's carrying Rosalie, it's already happened." Edward says the last part in a horrified whisper.
Emmett walks in the door a few seconds later; he's carrying Rosalie very carefully, almost like she is made of glass. Emmett looks terrified; Rosalie looks a little exasperated, but scared at the same time.
"You can put me down now, I can walk you know." Rosalie says, clearly upset. Emmett walks over to the couch and gingerly sets her down on it, still treating her like she is breakable. Uh oh, this isn't going to end well. Rosalie growls and glares at him.
"Stop treating me like I'm breakable! It's bothering me!" she shouts as Emmett is retreating form the couch, then she starts to cry.
"Uh oh." I hear Edward say. I get up and go over to her, for some strange reason I can't fathom, I try to comfort her.
"It's okay, he just doesn't want to hurt you, he's not sure how much strength to use, Edward was the same way, in the beginning." I say soothingly. She smiles warmly up at me; I smile back a little reluctantly and sit down next to her.
"I'm sorry I was so mean to you, it was just a new experience to have a human be around us all the time, I guess that I'll just have to get used to it now that I would be considered a hypocrite if I didn't approve." she says scooting closer to me. I put my arm around her shoulder & she laid her head on my shoulder.
"I'll help you get used to being a human again if you want." I tell her kindly.
"That would be nice, thank you for being so nice to me now, I really don't deserve it after the way I treated you before. I'm glad that this happened, we might actually be able to be friends now." Rose says, she sighs contently then wraps her arms around my waist, nervously.
I look over her shoulder and see Emmett with his head in his hands, Alice has a comforting hand on his shoulder, while Edward is on the phone, speaking to fast for the words to be recognizable.
