"I cannot believe him! Doesn't he know?" I yelled through my teeth. It was always helpful to "vent" to Emmett about my issues…
"Rose…he loves her. How I love you…he's told me…just, be nice…" he pleaded. I felt a bit ashamed of how I acted, with "a bit" being the operative word. Not because I was trying to be mean, or I hated Bella because of Bella. I hated Bella because of me. That day, only three short weeks after Edward left, and went to Alaska for four days, to escape her, he was bringing her to our house! She knew our secret, which also made me wonder, 'how could she want him?' she was a human, with everything going for her. A beautiful, happy life. And she wanted Edward. She couldn't see that we were monsters? I tried to not hold anything against her, but it was hard. She was popular at school already. She had human guys lining up to go to prom with her, but she turned every one down. To be with a vampire, my brother. I knew deep down that I should've been happy for him. After so many years alone, the odd man out, he finally had somebody—this girl—Bella…but being the only one concerned for our safety, I couldn't think of that. Bella seemed totally oblivious to the fact that if this ended badly, we would all be in huge trouble. She didn't seem to care. Leaving me as our protector, I put on a tough exterior.
"Em, I can't…sorry. I just…I need time."
"How much time? Rose, I don't think you'll ever get used to it, but you need too…Edward has control. I know he won't hurt her." Right. Explain Alice's vision. Over the few previous weeks since we met Bella, her vision had stayed the same. Bella looked young still, so it couldn't be more than a few years off.
"Fine…I won't be able to be nice to her…so I'll just keep quiet."
"Thanks."
"Can't you be on my side on this?"
"Sorry…I really am, Rose. But we like Bella…well, everyone but you." I growled quietly…as if I didn't have a reason to dislike her?!
"Rose…are you mad at me?" he cooed, teasing. I couldn't help but find it adorable, but at the same I was annoyed…
"No…I just am mad at this situation…"
"Then how about we go downstairs…ready?"
"Yes…let's go" I took a deep breath, and I could smell her from downstairs—she had arrived. Bella. We walked down the grand staircase across from our bedroom, and I caught sight of her. She stood in the kitchen smiling, before Esme wrapped her in a hug. She laughed. I rolled my eyes. Why was everybody being so…not cautious…didn't anybody fear for our safety?
"You're okay?" Emmett whispered
"Yeah…love you…"
"You too" he smiled, a dazzlingly heartbreaking smile. Bella walked towards me…
"Hi, Bella…" only the beginning…
