Chapter 15

Bella's POV

I was perfectly content just being secure in Rosalie's arms but I needed to hunt animal again and that would give Alice and her to talk which makes everything set in plan. I'd ask Esme and Carlisle to help me since I believe that Travis won't like to drink human. Speaking of Travis, I'm beginning to suspect that he has a thing for Alice but he's just too shy to admit it. I sighed.

"Rose, you should go talk to Alice." I told her. She pulled away and we both sat up and she smiled weakly and nodded.

"Maybe I should. Will you be alright alone or should I send someone to accompany you here?" she asked formally.

"I'm going hunting. I'll ask Carlisle and Esme to come with me. I want to get rid of these eyes." I replied and she nodded.

"I'll tell them to come then." She said and smiled as she stood up.

"Rose." I mumbled and she looked at me and her eyes bore into mine and I could just get lost in her golden orbs. "Thanks Rose. For everything." I said sincerely and she smiled at me.

"No problem, Bells. Anything for you." She told me, I felt so warm inside, and she was gone. Suddenly, I felt empty as she left. It was strange and the thing is that it was a stronger kind of emptiness than when he left. Carlisle and Esme were now in front of me, smiling. I smiled back.

"Let's go out and hunt those ridiculous animals, mates." I said in a fake Australian which made them laugh.

"Yes, let's." Carlisle agreed and we were off hunting.

Rosalie's POV

I went to Alice's room and I heard the shuffling of clothes. I assume that she's in her closet, choosing an outfit. She must be going out. I went in the door and she was indeed in her closet since she wasn't in the bedroom itself.

"I'll be out in a minute." I heard her say. She sounded stressed. I laughed quietly to myself. Exactly after a minute, she was sitting next to me on her couch. She smiled.

"What were you doing in there?" I asked and she shrugged.

"I was looking for clothes in my closet. I'm going shopping with Travis tomorrow." She told me and I arched an eyebrow at her. Since when did guys learn to shop? "It's unbelievable, right? He's like the first guy I've encountered who likes shopping."

"He is so different." I remarked and she nodded. "So…. I was thinking. "Why do you thing I like Bella?" I asked her and she had a shocked look on her face.

"That was not the question I saw in my vision. It went like, Alice, do you think I'm heartless? Anyway, the answer to that was of course not. Back to the topic, OMG you like her?!" she squealed and I realized what she understood by like was like like. I shook my head.

"Not that kind of like! I mean as a sister." I clarified and her mouth was a perfect 'o'.

"I misunderstood. I think you like her because Bella's one of the most selfless, kindest, smartest, funniest and most lovable person there is." She told me. She's also beautiful and wonderful…... God, why are my thoughts like this?! I thought.

"You don't think it's because of Nessie?" I asked her and she shook her head.

"Why would I think that way?" she asked e, incredulously.

"Well……. When I talked to Edward at the meadow, he told me that I only liked Bella because of Ness and when Bella and I fought, she told me the exact same thing." I said, sadly and Alice shook her head.

"Bella didn't mean that. She was just hurting. Edward on the other hand is a………. fool to say that and he might have drilled that into Bella's head."

"Why would he do that?" my voice went up two octaves higher.

"Because he's jealous of you."

"Why in the world would he be jealous of me?" Especially when he has Bella and Ness.

"Because Edward thinks that you match him in so many aspects. He's insecure." Alice told me and she smiled weakly.

"That is just crazy."

"Tell me about it. Edward's just like that but even if he did take Jasper" she winced "away, he's still my brother and I still love him." Alice was so kind and forgiving. She deserved someone way better than Jasper.

"Anyway, what's up with you and Travis? I was on the impression that you hated him." I said, casually and she giggled.

"I did hate him but I found out that there's so much more about him that made me like him in a way." Alice said and I smiled at her.

"That's good for you. Where is he, by the way?"

"He went out to feed."

"Won't that make his eyes bright red?"

"As you have noticed, his eyes are violet and when he just fed, it's blue."

"That's cool. Do you mind if Bella and I tag along with you? We both need to get out and we're going to distance ourselves from you and Travis."

"I do not mind and you do not have to distance yourselves." She told me and I laughed.

"I just want to." That would please Travis.

"Okay……. If you insist."

"I do. "

There was a moment of silence between the two of us and it was pleasant. Anyone would agree that being in Alice's company was relaxing. My thoughts averted to Bella again. Her beauty. Her scent. Everything about her. Since the moment I held her some moments ago, she was constantly plaguing my mind. It was weird. She was just so…….. She was Bella. There was something about her that gave me hope to be happy one day. She was light. I cannot believe I am thinking this. I sighed and looked at Alice who seemed to be having a vision. She seemed to blink in surprise but she shrugged.

"Alice?" I mumbled and she turned her attention to me.

"Yes, Rose?" she asked, a grin across her face.

"I think I might have a crush on Bella." I told her and she beamed.

"I know."

A/N: Rose finally admits that she a crush on Bella. If so, does Bella feel the same? Read the following chapters to find out. This chapter was done due to boredom and it is not my best chapter. This chapter sucks.

I want to clarify with the reviewers that the reason Travis doesn't want to change Kaitlin is because he doesn't want to subject her in the kind of life he has.

I went over my past chapters and I realized that I made some mistakes with some stuff. When, Rose saw Edward, I meant weeks not months, okay?

Please review. The next chapter is the shopping trip. It has both Bella/Rose and Travis/Alice. As for the romantic relationship part, I'm going to escalate the Bella/Rose pairing some more. Anyway, 'til next time.
