A/N: Hey there all you people reading this! I would have updated yesterday when Madi sent it back, but it was my birthday so I didn't. But it's here now, so that must count for something. ;)

Madi edited, and it was her idea to bring in a certain someone. (Hint, hint)

Disclaimer: I still don't own Twilight. I do, however, own...someone. (Wink, wink)

I would have just said who, but that would spoil the surprise. :P

Anyways, read on!

Chapter 12

EPOV

Rosalie was getting the jacket that was broken, that much was obvious. What I did wonder, though, was why she didn't want Emmett to know how it got broken. She had made it VERY clear not to tell him.

I wonder also wondered if maybe she forgot the jacket on purpose, wanting Bella, Alice, and Emmett to see our apartment. I didn't see why she would do that though. Jasper and I both would have no problem having them over, without the set-up. Rose knew that, so I assumed she really did just forget it.

Jasper pulled into the rarely used guest spot in front of our familiar apartment building. I got out first this time, offering Bella my hand as she stepped out of the car.

Rosalie looked at me and Bella getting out. "You guys don't need to come in, you know. I can just run in and-"

Bella cut her off. "We want to see your apartment. That's okay, right?" she asked, looking at me now.

"Its fine, Rosalie, why are you so stressed?" I asked.

She shot me a death stare and I decided to go talk to her.

"Bella, excuse me for a minute," I said.

She nodded, and I walked to Rosalie.

The others were still in the car, but I pulled her further away anyways. "Rose, really, why are you so stressed about this?" I asked, making the concern clear in my voice.

"I don't know," she started. "I mean, I know it seems stupid, but I really don't want him to find out. I'm afraid he'll go after this guy."

I raised one eyebrow. "Wouldn't that be a good thing, though?"

"No. You don't understand. That guy will leave me alone. I know it. He's seen, and felt, I might add, what I can do when they mess with me. I don't want Emmett to go and harass this kid. Although he deserves it, he doesn't need it. Emmett doesn't need to mess with him anymore. The past is past, and I really just want this whole thing over with. Does that make sense?"

I thought about what she said for a minute. "Yeah, I guess I can see where you're coming from. But they really do want to see the apartment, and I figure now is the perfect time. We just bought a new bag of Pizza Rolls, and we can pop them in the oven," I grinned, knowing she hated them. "If you really don't want him to know about the jacket then I'll distract him. Show him the TV, or something. Or you could act like its nothing; Say you put it in the wash, and the buttons fell off. After all, you said that was all that was wrong with it."

"That's true, thank you Edward," she said. She hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her, and hugged back.

I pulled back, and said, "You don't need to worry about such silly things, Rose."

By the car, I could see them all watching us. I sighed.

She didn't have to look back to know why I sighed. "For the record, if they ask about this, you are the one that has to come up with some explanation. Got it?"

I nodded, laughing, and walked back to the car, Rose next to me.

As we started walking back, the others got out of the car. Emmett came up, and stood between the two of us.

"Any reason you were hugging my girlfriend, Masen?" he said, both jokingly and totally serious at the same time.

"She was nervous, and I wanted to find out why. She's like my sister, McCarty, no worries," I told him, following his lead by using his last name too.

"And?"

"And what?"

"What was she nervous about?"

Crap. "Oh, um, well she had exams yesterday and she was... stressing about how she did. I was reassuring her she did fine," I said.

I didn't think I was convincing myself, but it seemed to be enough for him, so I let it go.

I went back to Bella, interlocking my fingers with hers. I lead her into the building, up the flight of stairs, to the second floor, where our apartment was. The others were following close behind us. I slid my key in the lock, smoothly opening the door.

I shrugged out of my jacket, and held out my arm for Bella to put her coat there too.

She took off her coat and slipped it on my arm. I decided to be polite and take everyone's coats, although I didn't really know what I was going to do with them. Rosalie took hers off, and hung it in the little hall closet. I followed suit and hung everyone else's coats there too. They had wandered to the kitchen/nook/family room area.

"Do you guys want a really quick tour? It's small, so the tour will be short," I asked.

They nodded, and I went down the tiny hallway, gesturing for them to follow.

"This," I opened the door to the closest room on the left, "Is my bedroom."

Bella walked in, followed by Alice, and Emmett just looked in from the doorway.

"It's so neat," Alice said.

"Edward, man, I didn't know you were a tidy person," Emmett laughed.

I shrugged. My room was always clean. The deep gold bedspread, a couple shades darker than the walls, was laid over the bed; the pillows arranged how I liked them. My desk was clean too, the papers were in neat piles, pencils were tucked away in the drawers.

Bella was looking at my CD wall. I say 'wall' because I have an entire wall covered in shelves full of CD's.

"Edward," she murmured when I walked to her side. "You have so much music."

I nodded. "Music is a passion of mine," I said simply.

"I'll say," Alice said from behind me. I chuckled.

"Alright, moving on to the next room," I said, grabbing Bella's hand and pulling her to Jasper's bedroom door, just to the left of mine.

APOV

Edward led us to another door, obviously Jasper's. I could tell, because Jasper had came up behind us, probably wanting to know what we thought of it. Edward opened the door, and this time, I was the first one in.

I looked around the room. It was about the same size as Edward's but it looked a bit bigger. His was set up completely different. The walls were a soothing sage green. They looked darker than they actually were, as the curtains were drawn and the lights were off. He reached behind me, and flicked on the lights. I was right. The walls lightened a shade.

His bed was diagonal to the walls in the corner farthest from the door. The bed was unmade, but I could tell the bedding was a solid, dark green print. The pillows were the same color, and the sheets were the color of the walls.

Also unlike Edward's room, the desk wasn't as neat. The floor was, however. It was free of clothes and anything else that could have been on the floor.

"I love the color on your walls, Jasper," I told him.

He smiled. "I wanted something calming. All the stress of college was getting to me, so I painted them this," he said, waving his hand at the wall.

Bella walked in, looked around, and went back out.

"Well, she likes it," he said with a laugh.

"She's not really into the whole 'room decorating' thing. I decorated hers," I told him.

"Oh, that makes more sense."

Edward poked his head in. "Moving on to the next room," he said.

I followed Jasper out of the room. Right across the hall from Jasper's room, Edward was opening a door.

"This is the bathroom," he told us. I poked my head in, there was really nothing to see. It was all white, two sinks, a shower/tub (the kind that are connected) and a rug that Rosalie had obviously put there. One side had Rosalie's make-up and face wash and other hygiene stuff, and the other side had, what I assumed was, Jasper and Edward's stuff. Bella looked into the room too, before Edward led us to the last room.

Rosalie now came up to us. "This is my room."

She opened the door, and surprisingly enough, it wasn't pink. The walls were painted a bright, lime green. Her bedspread was laid over hear bed. It was patterned black and white, in swirls and other random shapes. Okay I lied, there was a bit of pink. The bedspread had two colors of pink in it. They were just little polka-dots here and there, colored light and dark pink. All the furniture was wood, but stained black. The ceiling had netting on it, which looked sweet. Over her chair, I assumed, was the jacket I was supposed to fix.

(Pictures of her room are on my profile page)

Rosalie followed my stare, and realized what I was looking at.

"Yep, that's it," she said. "We can leave it here until you guys are ready to leave, or put it in the back of the Jeep now."

"We should put it in the back, so we don't forget again," I said.

She nodded, and put the jacket over her arm. She grabbed a baggie with the buttons in it off the desk. She handed me the buttons, and I slipped them into my pocket.

I grabbed Bella as we walked to the car.

"What is that?" she asked.

"My jacket. Most, if not all, of the buttons need to be sewn back on," Rosalie said.

From the look on Bella's face, I could tell she figured she shouldn't even ask how all the buttons came off.

We went back inside to find Edward pulling a yellow bag from the freezer.

"You're kidding, right?" Rosalie asked him.

I had no idea what was in the bag, but Rosalie seemed to.

"Pizza rolls?" Bella asked. "That's your idea of dinner?!"

Oh. Ew. Freezer food was not my thing, let alone little rolls filled mostly with sauce. I looked closer at the bag, and saw it said "Three Meat" on it, disgusting. I was SO not eating that.

"Edward, I thought you were KIDDING," Rosalie said. "I'm not eating that."

"Me either," Bella said.

Edward looked at me, like my opinion would make or break this dinner.

"Ew, it's gross you even think I'd want to eat that."

Edward sighed. "No Pizza Rolls, guys," he told Emmett and Jasper.

They actually sounded upset about this.

"Listen," I said. "I'm all for getting pizza... just not in the shape of little rolls."

Rosalie and Bella nodded.

"Why don't we drive to Mama Mia's Pizza? It's not far from here," Bella said.

"Sounds good to me," Emmett said.

"Anything sounds good to you, Emmett," Jasper said.

Emmett glared at him. "Actually, that's not true. Broccoli, for instance, does not sound good to me."

Jasper grinned. "Are you sure?"

Emmett laughed. "Positive."

"Just grab your keys, Em. We're hungry over here!" Rosalie told him.

EPOV

I walked into the little pizza place, Bella's hand in mine. Jasper followed with a hand around Alice's waist, Emmett and Rosalie close behind them.

I walked up to the hostess. "Table for six, please."

She seated us at a round table. Bella sat between Jasper and I. Emmett was on the other side of me, and Rosalie was between him and Alice. On Alice's other side, connecting our circle, was Jasper.

Our server came up, looking down while she pulled out her pad of paper to take our order.

I watched her look through her pockets for the pen, and realized I recognized her. No way. There is no way. She DELIVERED for us. She can't be a server too!

Without a word, I pulled Bella on my lap, moved into her chair, and slipped her into the one I was sitting in. She looked at me funny, but I held up a finger, telling her to wait. I scooted my chair closer to Jasper, and he looked like he wanted to punch me. That was, until I pointed to the waitress. His face was unreadable. It looked like shock, anger, and smirking combined. Rosalie looked at the waitress too, and burst out laughing.

The waitress looked up from her apron, and looked around the table before landing her eyes on Jasper and I.

"Oh. My. God." she said, looking totally and completely shocked.

A/N: We couldn't just take her out of the story.. what fun would that be? :P

Now, for my birthday (even though it was yesterday) I want everyone to review. Please, for me?
