I lead him into the dinning room and poured myself a glass of red wine.
"Why did you come all the way from Georgia?"
"I am sorry and I want you back."
"What makes you think you could waltz back here after you CHEATED on me?"
"I was dumb and I realized the mistake I made."
"Why should I forgive you then? Huh? Come on lie to my face."
"You should forgive me because I love you."
I don't know what or why but I believed him. We were back together since I had nothing more to lose. He left to his hotel and it was as if he found the thing I most cared about and gave it to me, Love. I sat on the roof and stared at the huge starry sky when I saw the northern star. I stood up, closed my eyes and made a wish, "Please let Jacob feel the same way." The cool September breeze brushed my hair back when my phone started to ring. It was Jacob.
"Hello?"
"Hey Rose."
"Hey, ummmm, I got some news."
"What is it?"
"My boyfriend and I got back together."
Jacob's point of view
I couldn't believe what I heard. I felt like if someone put out a thousand cigarettes on my heart. I just replied, "Rose that's great. I just wanted to let you know Adrianna is coming out tonight so don't get worried." Then I hung up. I added, "I love you." I wish she could hear me. I don't know what she did to me but I feel like I could be with her for the rest of my life. I hated that guy who hurt her. If I could have just met her earlier. I started to get hot but all I could think about was her. I couldn't take this crap anymore I just threw all my tools off my table in my room. "Why is love so complicated?" that's when I could hear Rose's voice on the radio:
Cupido no te de entiendo alardeas de ejemplo
de juntar corazones un experto en coneccion
te fallaron las flechas
y de tantas violetas
que por ti he regalado en mi jardin no hay ni una flor
pues dile al amor que no toque mi puerta
que yo no estoy en casa
que no vuelva manana
a mi corazon ya le han fallado en ocaciones
me fui de vacaciones
lejos de los amores
y dile a al amor que no es grato en mi vida
dale mi despedida cuentale las razones
Cupido no entiendo si la suerte me odia
y me a dado de herencia la fortuna del desamor
y te pido disculpas pero no haciertas una
mis febreros son largos aunque no se tu intencion
pues dile al amor que no toque mi puerta
que yo no estoy en casa que no vuelva manana
a mi corazon ya le han fallado en ocaciones
me fui de vacaciones lejos de los amores
y dile a al amor que no es grato en mi vida
dale mi despedida cuentale las razones
no quiero fechas en mi calendario
ni citas en mi horario si se trata de amor
no me interesa oir mas canciones
no quiero ver flores
si se trata de amor
tengo a dieta los sentimientos
evitando momentos de desilucion
cupido..
dile al amor que no toque mi puerta
que yo no estoy en casa que no vuelva manana
a mi corazon ya le ha fallado en ocaciones
me fui de vacaciones lejos de los amores
dile a al amor que no es grato en mi vida
dale mi despedida cuentale las razones
i don't need no love in my life
i don't need no love in my life
i don't need no love in my life
i don't need no love...
I just shook my head and went to bed. I do need her.
Rose's Point of View
I looked down at the ground. I closed my eyes as I stood up letting the wind blow back my curls. I softly whispered:
What you got if you ain't got love
the kind that you just want to give away
It's okay to open up
go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
you want to shut the world out and just be left alone
But don't run out on your faith
'Cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside
a problem that seems so big at the time
it's like a river thats so wide
it swallows you whole
While you sit around thinking about what you can't change
and worrying about all the wrong things
time's flying by
moving so fast
you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
What you've been up there searching for
forever is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes everything else
Seem so small
That's when I tripped. Even though I knew I wouldn't die I just was having a moment when I started to scream. I finally hit the ground. My body was really sore. I felt my bones crack and it hurt like hell just to blink. But the worst part was the healing. Feeling every bone and tissue set back in place was making me wish I set myself on fire. It was over in about 5 seconds when I just climbed back onto the roof, and fell asleep next to my guitar.
The next morning I woke up with a sore back and that's when I saw it. The reddest rose I ever saw right next to my guitar. I reached toward it smiling when I saw the small note attached From Jacob. I got up walking to the shower with a small headache from the beer last night. I turned up the water steaming hot letting it run down my back and through my hair. I got out and put on a pair of faded jeans with my favorite t shirt that read real girls eat meat. Then Alice spoke, "Happy Birthday Rosie!" I ran into the kitchen to see my sisters eating breakfast.
"OH MY GOD!" we all screamed while hugging each other. Iris had grown really tall and skinny. Instead of her long brown curly hair it was replaced with long black waves. And Lily was tall too with blonde hair. So much for being identical. "Dude!" I yelled when Iris pulled my hair back into a ponytail and dragged me upstairs. She threw a pair of dark green cargo pants at me. "Put these on." She said and I did. Then I looked in the mirror. "OH MY GOD!" I looked actually awesome. I had to admit I would be lost without my little sister. And so she dragged me downstairs for breakfast of coarse chocolate chip waffles.
We all down on the couch watching cat scratch when I started checking my texts:
Bella: Happy Birthday 2u and ur sises
Jacob: Happy Birthday Rose and same for ur sisters
Chris: Happy bday tell iris hi
Angela: hey hey hey happy bday
Eric: happy bday surfer
Jessica: happy birthday cant wait to party!
None from Tim. "Who's Jacob?" oh crap. I forgot to tell them. "A friend." I replied. Iris just said, "A guy friend." When Lilly added, "Who she likes more." Then they said in unison, "than a friend." "Shut up you guys." I said when I replied to Jacob by da way it's not a costume party. He soon replied Ok Bella told me that so no prob. I'll pick you up in like 5 minutes. I continued to watch TV when the door bell rang.
"Happy Birthday Rose." Jacob said once I opened the door. He had three bouquets of flowers, one of roses (red), irises (purple), and lilies (tiger). He handed me the roses and I hugged him. "You shouldn't have!" I said smelling them gently. Then he walked in "Hi you two must be Iris and Lilly, I'm Jacob. And happy birthday" he said handing Iris the irises and Lilly the lilies. I felt like kissing him right now he was so sweet.
"Do you guys want to come?" I asked my sisters as I pulled on my hoodie. "Nope we're good." They replied. So it was going to be me and Jacob. We were driving to party city when Jacob started humming something that sounded good. "What you humming?" I asked curious as usual. He smiled and replied. "Why do you want to hear?" I nodded like a five year old and he started:
Once again you're home
Tears running from your eyes
And I'm on the outside
Knowing that you're all I want
But I can't do anything
I'm so helpless baby
Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
You've been livin this way so long
You don't know the difference
And it's killing me
Cause you can have so much more
I'm the one your looking for
But you close your eyes on me
So you still can't see
Everyday same old things
So used to feelin pain
Never had real love before
And it ain't her fault
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
All she knows is the pain
In the corner of an empty home
She's still comfortable
I want her to know
It can be better than this
I can't pretend
Wish we were more than friends
She knows better but
She can't help it
Wanna tell her
But would that be selfish
How do you heal
A heart that can't feel, it's broken
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
His love is all she knows, all she knows, all she knows
I smiled, "That was amazing, Jacob. Really it was." He blushed and we continued towards the store when I got a text: Hey Rose its Carlos your dance partner. Look I can't make it my sister is in labor really sorry I can't go. Happy birthday. "Damn it!" I said a little too loud. "What's wrong?" Jacob asked.
"My dance partner's sister is in labor so he can't come. I don't have a dance partner."
"I can dance with you."
"Really? I mean, are you sure?"
"Yeah, no problem."
"Ok, um, thanks."
And we got to party city. We walked through the foggy mist into the huge store. "Where do you wanna start?" He asked me when I walked to the front looking at noise makers. I picked some out and we made our way towards the back with two carts full of stuff looking at confetti.
"Jacob what about this one?" I threw some at him.
"I like it!" then he picked me up spinning me.
"We are gonna get kicked out." Now he put me down and we were really close, a little too close, looking into each other's eyes. You could literally feel something happening when I said really low, "I'll take these then." walking away. Wait. Oh s- he's a wolf! What have I done! I fell in love with a dog! No wonder everyone was calling him a mutt! But what was that look in his eyes? Oh well and I paid for the stuff we got.
We drove back to the house where he dropped me off and I had to get ready while Esme, Edward, Carlisle, Jasper, Bella, and Emmet decorated. I was immediately pulled into Alice's huge bathroom where Iris and Lilly's hair was being done. Rosalie was doing my hair when Iris and I all started talking:
Iris Lilly Rose Alice
"Jacob is a wolf."
"I knew something was up with him! But he is super awesome!" she took off her glasses so Alice could straighten her bangs.
"Yeah he is. Lilly you should really not wear your glasses you look nice without them, even though they're really nice."
"I can't Rose. Well, I don't know."
"I think I, I, I, I love Jacob."
"What! You've known the guy for less than a week!"
"It seems more time has passed. It's just different with him."
"I can't believe you're older than me and starting with this crap!"
"By five minutes! God Damn why is everyone holding it against me!"
"It's forbidden to be with a wolf. God you're so stupid!"
"Hey you just found out what you were last week and didn't know what the identity ring was! Who's stupid now?"
"Whatever, but if Samson finds out you're screwed."
"Thanks for reminding me."
"No problem."
"Okay makeup time! No talking!"
Alice tortured us with makeup for about an hour when she finally finished. When we all looked in the mirror all of our mouths dropped. Lilly had thick black lashes, natural makeup, and light pink gloss on. Iris had REALLY thick black lashes, silver glittery makeup (Not a lot), and clear gloss. I had the same black lashes as Iris, a little silver glitter on my eyes and red lips. This is what our hair looked like:
Me:.com/product_images/0265/8010/_
Iris: .
Lilly:
We smiled at each other and raced to Alice's room, but we made sure neither of our hair was ruined. We stood in front of the dress bags when Alice unveiled them:
Me: .
Iris: .
Lilly: .
Our mouths dropped again and we made our way to the stairs where Edward, Jasper, and Emmet were waiting. Edward offered me his arm and I took it, same with Iris and Jasper, and Lily and Emmet. "Rose you look exactly like mother." Edward commented. I smiled and we slowly descended the stairs into a room full of people in awe. But my eyes were focused on one, Jacob.
He offered me his arm and I took it as we walked to the center of the room. Oh my god he looked fine! He had on a black button down shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and his hair was gelled back. "You look beautiful." He said close to my ear when I suddenly caught sight of Tim. Oh s-! Wait; oh HELLLL NO! He was making out with Adrianna! The song listen to your heart was playing in the back round when I suddenly didn't care about this lying mother beeper. I cared about Jacob and that was that. I whispered in Jacob's ear, "Thank you." And I kissed his cheek. I could barely see him blush when I suddenly thought, listen to your heart Rose, not your head or anyone else. Listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye. That's it.
Jacob walked back wards when my red finger seductively motioned him forward. He held me close when I asked, "Are you sure you know how to dance?" he smirked, "You should see me with my white shoes and leather jacket. Exactly like James Brown watch out." I laughed, then the song Time of my life from the movie Dirty Dancing came on.
Jacob dipped my romantically. And I followed when we started the complicated foot work. He spun me several times quickly. Damn he could dance! When he lifted my half way letting my dress flow dramatically. When the part with my body and soul came on we parted and I started moving my body even more seductively. He followed forward when I stroked his chest before the fast part came on. And we started to grind and I mean GRIND. I thought Edward was going to kill him when I saw him step back but he relaxed. Then I ran toward Jacob and he lifted me up high like near the end in the movie when the song finished and everyone applauded. Jacob then held my hand as we walked into the crowd when it was Iris's turn.
She danced to the song she made, Umbrella, and it was amazing. It was like she was dancing on air. I never knew she could dance. It was a million times better than me I thought. Then when Lilly danced it was smooth and delicate. Just like her.
I ran up on the stage Emmet made and sung:
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
Ha, Time for a little revenge
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him along, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming, nor did I suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I'm psycho
Cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha ha
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Whoa
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge,
And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
Cause I don't think you do, Oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I put the microphone down and walked back into the crowd. Jacob was there waiting for me and I hugged him and smiled.
J. P. O. V.
I looked down at the beautiful woman in front of me. "Is something wrong?" I asked her. She shook her head and kept fake smiling. I took her hand, spun her around, wrapped my arms around her waist, and put my head on her shoulder. I heard her laughing when I kissed her cheek. I see her smile but something was still wrong. The song on the floor started to play when we started to dance. She walked until she was in front on me moving like a flickering flame. "Damn. She is so hot." I thought when we got closer and started to dance together again. Rose grabbed a drink and started to chug it down. Then it got really intense.
She was looking in front of her at this guy holding Adrianna. Oh hell no this is that Tim crack head. Rose started to grind harder into me. That's when Adrianna came behind me grinding and Tim in front of Rose. I grabbed a few beers and started chugging them down. Then everybody started to join us making a sandwich. Rose started going faster and harder. Damn this girl is really hot.
Everything got sorta fuzzy. I think I had too many beers. Everyone stumbled away when the song finished and Rose got up on stage. "This is dedicated to my "amazing" boyfriend Tim McGraw." Oh this going to be good.
R. P. O. V.
He said the way my blue eyes shined
put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie."
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thankin' God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standin' on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read is:
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmmm
He said the way my blue eyes shine
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
And now I was really pissed, "Thank you for being the worst person in the world you douche. You never loved me, never will, and I want you to go rot in hell! And take the blonde tramp with you!" I could see Jacob trying really hard not to crack up. I a tear ran down my cheek, and I stormed into the garage.
I sat down on my working table and cried. I thought he loved me. I started to beat up his car with my pocket knife and a bat. The door creaked open and soon I was faced by Jacob.
J. P. O. V.
"What do you want?" She cried
"Rose, tell me what's wrong?"
"Tim cheated on me for the second time. God I feel like an idiot."
"He doesn't know what he is missing out on."
"Yeah right, you don't even like me. You found someone better."
"The girl I was talking about was you." I put my arms around her while she cried.
"What are you talking about?"
"The girl was you." I looked down at the beautiful angel in front of me, pulled her close to me, and kissed her full red lips. Jesus Christ, I thought when she pulled me forward when her back hit the wall.
R. P. O. V.
I couldn't believe it, I was kissing a wolf. I melted into his arms. Our lips twisted evenly and it felt like heaven. He ran his tongue across my bottom lip asking for entrance. I parted my lips a little continuing to kiss him when his tongue gently caressed the inside of my mouth. Meanwhile his hand was at my hip pulling me closer to him, while the other slowly ran down my back, and my hands were running through his hair. Then I heard the door slam open. Oh s- here we go again….
Tim stormed in with Adrianna behind him fuming. "So this is how you treat your boyfriend!" I stepped forward, "You aren't boyfriend ever since you cheated with those tramps. Especially this little s-." He stepped forward and pushed Jacob. I punched Tim and when Adrianna tried to touch me I grabbed her neck and threw her across the garage. Jacob put his hand on my shoulder I turned around. He looked at me with pleading eyes, "Rose, stop. Please, this is not you." I looked at steaming hot, "You don't know me, Jacob Black. You don't know me." He looked scared and stepped back when out of no where Tim grabbed my arm and I spun around to smack him right into his shattered car. Then the door slammed again. This time it was Iris and Lilly.
Iris looked mad when she picked Adrianna up by her hair, "What the f- do you think you're doing here!" Lilly started to step back as Iris began to hit Adrianna. "Iris she's pregnant!" I yelled but she just yelled back, "When isn't she! She's had like 50 abortions already!" and continued. That when Adrianna started to fight back and LILLY jumped in! Holy s-! That's when I heard a car pull up. It was Charlie's cruiser. Oh s- Tim called the cops. Here we go AGAIN…
"Rose? Iris? Lilly? What the hell?" Charlie said confused. "Hey Charlie….. Uh… we can explain….." We all said in unison but he already started with rights and was handcuffing all of us including Jacob, Tim, and Adrianna. How am I going to explain this to everyone?
We got into the cruiser and were soon at the police station. "I'm really sorry I dragged you into this." I said to Jacob. He shook his head, "It's not your fault." God he was sweet. We were all put in one cell sitting on a bench. I put my head in my hands, while Jacob held me in his arms. This was a really bad time and I thought nothing good could happen now. "Really Jacob I shouldn't have spoken to you like that really please forgive me." He lifted my head with his hand, "You don't have to apologize. You were right, I don't know you, so would you let me know you?" I looked him in the eyes, "Like, dating?" he nodded and pecked me on the lips. I heard someone cough and when we turned Adrianna took out a pack of cigarettes. Lilly kicked her with her heel, "Tramp give me smokes." Adrianna handed them trembling with blood trickling down her nose. Lilly snatched the pack and looked at Tim, "Douche bag give me your lighter." He handed it over and Lilly took it. She took out a cigarette lit it and handed them to Iris and she did the same. She passed them to me and I did the same. We got up, leaned against the cell bars, and smoked with my sisters until Charlie came. We looked at each other and had a mental conversation: Rose Iris Lilly
"What are we going to do? We can't get out of this mess."
"I think it's time to reveal who we are."
"But then what are we going to do? Move again?"
"You guys are not the ones who have to move…"
"Well should we?"
"I don't know…."
"I think it's time."
We nodded and put on our rings. Charlie came and looked at us expecting us to ask for a phone call when we handed him our hands. He looked at them and bowed, "Im sorry for the misunderstanding your majesties." And he opened the cell. I motioned for Jacob to come out and he followed. We went back to the party and went straight to the dance floor. Thank god no one noticed we left and so Jacob and I were dancing when the song you raise me up by West Life.
We slowly rocked on our heels. "So…." I said resting my head on his shoulder. "So…" he replied. "Today was interesting..." he chuckled, "Yea it was Rose….." I smiled, "I love this song." He smiled, "Our song." And he leaned down to kiss me.
