Who was disappointed by the long wait for such a short chapter, hope this makes up for it :)

Bella

Sat in the room that had been a study but had now become her art studio, Bella could help but sigh, she had been sitting in here for at least two hours, hoping that she would be able to throw herself into creating a new piece of work to hang in her room to go with all the others she and Rosalie had snuck into her house -while Charlie was at work- to take, along with the rest of her things that she hadn't been able to pack in her rush to just leave Charlie and the pain that conversation had caused her, but it still wasn't working she still couldn't concentrate enough, every time she drew something she rubbed it out because she couldn't stop her thoughts from wandering, meaning what she wanted to draw was constantly changing.

With another sigh, this one of frustration, Bella threw her sketch book on the desk in the corner of the room, then made her way to their newly decorated living room, taking a seat on the cream coloured couch, she couldn't help but stop and take in the room a bit, they had decided to go for a cream and chocolate coloured room the walls where an ivory cream colour that Bella had plans to paint on, she hadn't told Rosalie that yet, but she knew that the blond would love it, the table, and bookcase where a dark mahogany colour, the curtains where a light chocolate colour, there was a 100 inch flat screen TV, DVD player, x box 360 and a state of the art stereo system with surround, turning on the television Bella sat back on the couch and closed her eyes, the TV becoming background noise after a while, as her thoughts once again began to wander.

Rosalie …. She was the cause of Bella's newly found distraction, the brunette just couldn't stop thinking about her, well her family was also stuck in her thoughts, but she was intrigued by Rosalie's sudden appearance in her life and by the fact that Rosalie had left the Cullens and her mate, she frowned slightly as she felt a twinge of emotion, but before she could really focus on it, it was gone. She had been wondering about what had happened after her disastrous birthday party, since before Edward actually left her, and now that Rosalie and they were living together, it had been in her thoughts more often, she wanted to ask Rosalie to tell her what happened, but she wasn't sure if that was a good idea, she didn't want to bring up any bad memories for the blond. Stopping at that thought she frowned, since Rosalie had come back she seemed to be acting more like the Bella she was before the Cullens left her, and she wasn't and didn't want to be that girl anymore, because she did everything for everyone else, but nothing for herself, when the actual fact was that just by being here with her Rosalie was a constant reminder of the pain Bella had gone through for months, so why should she care if she brought up a few bad memories, when Rosalie's presence did that to her on a daily basis.

'"Rosalie" she called out softly knowing that the blond could hear her.

"Yes Bella?" the musical voice asked softly, obviously trying not to scare her with its sudden presence.

Opening her eyes Bella looked at Rosalie, her face the familiar emotionless mask she had perfected, "I think it's time we talk" she stated, she saw surprise flash across the blonds face before she could stop it, obviously she hadn't expected Bella to be the one to bring it up, because the Bella she had known wouldn't have, but she wasn't that Bella anymore and it was time that Bella remembered that.

Nodding the blond sat in the love seat next to the chair Bella was sitting in, "What do you want to know exactly?" she asked looking at the brunette.

"Everything from my birthday party, up until now" she stated turning to face the blond while tucking her feet up under her.

"Alright, so when we all left the house after we had stopped Jasper, he ran off and I followed him, he was so upset that he couldn't control himself, and was convinced that you would never forgive him, that you would hate him forever, he didn't want to hear anything I was saying instead wanting to wallow in his self-hatred, but I managed to get him to listen and I explained that he shouldn't be so hard on himself, and that the reason he lost control was because he not only had to deal with his own blood lust but everyone else's, he had to agree with me, he then told me that it was Edwards blood lust that caused him to snap like that. I don't know what Edward told you about Jaspers control, but while he is the newest to our diet Jasper has very good control, he might not have as much control as Carlisle and I but he has very good control over himself, I mean he was a soldier, in both the human and vampire wars, where they are taught weakness is not an option especially in the vampire armies, weakness could get you killed, so he is skilled in making sure he has no weaknesses or that if he does he has control over them. I have to say out of everyone in the family I think Edward has the worst control, but that's my opinion" Rosalie explained.

Nodding her head Bella motioned for her to continue, "Anyway as I was saying, Jasper said that because of the strength of Edwards blood lust he couldn't control himself it influenced his actions, I then explained that I doubted you would hate him when you knew he never meant for that to happen, he once again agreed knowing that you wasn't that type of person, after talking for a while longer we returned to find that Edward was back and the family had been waiting for us, Edward was trying to convince us all to leave, none of us wanted to and when he saw that no one wanted to leave he started playing off of the fear he knew everyone had, saying that people were starting to notice that Carlisle didn't seem to be aging and that if we stayed any longer others would start to notice, even though he said that we still didn't want to leave, that's when he told us that you had told him on the way home that you wanted nothing to do with us, that you said you thought we were all too dangerous to be around"

Snorting Bella interrupted Rosalie's explanation "believe me Rosalie the only one who said anything like that was Edward"

"I know that now, but at the time we all believed it, and well as you can guess Jasper took it the hardest, especially when Edward stated that you had said that you blamed Jasper for what happened, that's when he said that he was leaving and of course Alice as his mate wanted to go with him, Esme and Emmett didn't want to believe what Edward was telling them, but Carlisle did and the decision to leave was made, even though we hadn't voted like we normally did, it didn't matter Carlisle believed Edward he always did and Edward got his own way once again." Pausing Rosalie ran a hand through her blond locks, "by the morning we were all packed, Jasper and Alice were already gone and the rest of us, apart from Edward, where ready to leave, Carlisle was allowing Edward to 'stay and make sure you would be alright' is what Edward had said he was doing, now I know that wasn't true, anyways we all went up to Denali to stay with the Denali clan, and well that's when things really changed for all of us" she stated, "Everything was different, none of us seemed to be happy anymore, Esme didn't leave her room, neither did Jasper unless they needed to hunt, Alice wasn't as excited she didn't go shopping or anything, and then there was Emmett, he was so hurt by you supposedly not wanting anything to do with him, and I couldn't do anything to help him, I couldn't comfort him, I was also feeling the effects from our leaving, as I already said I've never hated you so it isn't surprising that I was feeling hurt is it ?" she asked Bella, who shook her head in the negative.

To be honest she wasn't too sure she had a feeling that there might be more but she wanted to see what Rosalie would say and if she would comment on what ever it was "so we were all just grieving in our own way, and for me and Emmett that meant being as far away from each other as possible, he didn't want me trying to comfort him, and I didn't want to even try to do so, we just seemed to annoy each other, once or twice I almost hit him, and I know there were times when he almost hit me, and that's what made us sit down and talk, we decided that maybe it was time that we called it quits and stopped pretending, because we had always known that we weren't soul mates, we were mates out of convenience, so we split without telling anyone else, and because of how we had been acting before no one noticed that our relationship had changed slightly" Rosalie stated.

"I can't help but notice that you mentioned everyone but Carlisle and Edward why is that?" Bella questioned looking at the blond vampire.

Scowling Rosalie explained, "Because those two just made everything worse, they tried to act like nothing had changed when it was quite obvious that the rest of us were devastated that we had lost someone important to us to our family, and then when Emmett decided he was going back to Forks, that's when everything just seemed to get worse, the Denali clan left their own house because they didn't want to deal with the both of them, it felt like we were in a prison we couldn't go any where without telling them where we were going, what we were doing, how long we would be, and why was it that way, because Edward convinced Carlisle that we should allow you to live a human life, and that as he was your mate the fact that he wasn't going back that we shouldn't either" Rosalie ground out, "when it seemed that no one was going to attempt to leave, Edward left claiming that he needed time alone as he was so heartbroken, leaving Carlisle to keep an eye on us, that's when Alice had a vision of you, she had been ignoring all visions, but this one had been too powerful to ignore, when she came out of it she told me that she saw you, outside your house and then your future just went black. We of course went and told the rest of the family, I told them that I was going back to Forks, everyone else agreed with me except for Carlisle, he said that we wouldn't go against Edwards wishes, he made Alice search your future again and again, just to make sure but then she saw you again and you were fine. Carlisle then proceeded to squash any plans we had that included returning to Forks, but I would not be deterred, when a persons future goes black in Alice's visions, it means that they're dead, she never sees them again after that, so I wanted to come here and find out what had caused it, when Carlisle realised that nothing he said would change my mind, he told me that if I left then I wouldn't be apart of the Cullen coven any more, I told him then I wasn't a member of the coven any more, then went and packed my things, on my way out I handed him my necklace with the Cullen family crest on it and left"

"Didn't any of the others try to stop you?" Bella asked her head cocked to the side slightly.

Smiling slightly at how unintentionally cute Bella looked at that moment Rosalie replied, "They all did I don't think Carlisle was expecting me to do that, he was shocked we all knew he was, they all tried to beg me to stay, ignoring Esme's pleas was the hardest, she had said that she didn't want to lose another daughter, I told her that Carlisle was to blame for her loosing another daughter, and then I left, I got in my car and came straight here and well you know the rest" the blond finished, watching Bella's face.

Pursing her lips Bella thought on everything that Rosalie had just told her, she couldn't believe that Carlisle would behave that way, Edward she had no trouble believing, but Carlisle, shaking her head she looked up at the Rosalie and her heart fluttered slightly at the look in her eyes, even though Bella didn't know what to make of it, she had become quite skilled when it came to reading people, whether it be their body language, facial expression, or reading the looks in her eyes, but Rosalie seemed to be the one person she was having trouble reading, she wasn't actually surprised seeing as she had had decades to perfect her Ice Queen façade.

"Thank you for telling me Rosalie, I never expected that things would be that way for any of you when you left, that's not surprising seeing as Edward told us different stories based off of my birthday, I don't know what more to really say? Bella stated.

"You don't need to say anything it's in the past" Rosalie told her waving her hand in a dismissive motion.

"Alright so I'm guessing you want me to tell you about what happened here when you all left right?" she questioned, a bit reluctantly.

Rosalie sensing Bella's reluctance shook her head, "not tonight it's late, you should get some sleep" she stated, looking out the window, "I'm going to go back to the garage for a bit okay?" she questioned.

Bella nodded knowing that Rosalie needed some time to think, "alright goodnight Rosalie" she said, and then made her way up the stairs leaving Rosalie to her thoughts.

So we know what happened to the Cullens, isnt Edward an Ass ?
Review and tell me what you think of it.
