Rosalie's POV
She just stood there. Too afraid to move. Too afraid to say anything. Too afraid to believe. To believe, the horrible things I just said. Her eyes begged me to take it all back. But I couldn't. What said is already done. I cant take it back.
It feels like the world has stopped. Just for this moment. Just to witness, the separation of two people who loved each other more than anything in the world. How bonds of friendship, of family, of sisterhood, are easily broken. Sliced to bits by some venomous words.
"I said go," I murmured. Now I was too afraid. To say it out loud. To give myself away. To show her how much this is breaking me too.
"Let's go B," Joseph stood up, and with one hand pulled Emma up from the couch. What was with him and that fascination he had with that human? She wasn't the prettiest thing out there. She was pale, just like everyone else in this rainy town. Everything about her is ordinary. She has plain chestnut-hair. Not exactly the reddish-brown, that Edward has. Something less unique. Something straight from a Hair-dye box. But in the one quick second that she flickered her eyes towards me, and back at her mate, I saw it. It was love. The way her, grey eyes looked at him. The way you could tell it would crush her to let go. The love she showed towards him, by looking warily at my sister.
"Bella please," Joseph whispered to her. He was begging her to move, but she wouldn't budge. She was frozen in her place. I couldn't stand it. I cant stand watching her expressions. It was the look of deception, of heart break, and of pain. Do something. Get her out!
"Bella," Edward moved towards her. He got up from the couch and began reaching out for her hand.
"Don't," She hissed almost inaudibly. She took one last pleading look, and when she saw that she wasn't going to find a reason, she dashed out the door. I heard a devastating sob escape her, as she busted the door open. I could hear her running through the tress, hearing those agonizing cries.
"Um Thanks," Emma said to us, before Joseph placed her on his back, and raced after her.
"Rosalie," Carlisle called me. But everything around seemed to have disappeared. What did I just do?
"It's a little late, to regret what you just did," Edward said to me without any emotion.
"How could you? She's your sister! How can you be so-"
"Selfish," Emmett finished Alice's insult.
"Selfish?" I grunted at him. He doesn't know anything. He isn't the one who just lost a sister! And not a want-to-be sister like Alice, a blood related sister.
"Yes your selfish. I always thought Edward always said it to mess with you. I never thought I would see the day, you would possibly do something so idiotic. How can you have so much love for yourself? I wonder if you even love me. If you cant love your own blood, how can you love someone who has devoted themselves to you like pathetic slaves for the past seventy-five years," He said angrily. How could he even think that? I love him! More than myself!
"How dare you question my love for you?" I sneered.
"How can you possibly love anyone that isn't you," He said through his teeth.
"We aren't having an argument about you and I, Emmett." I said rolling my eyes.
"Fine. Let's talk about what the hell got into you! How could you dismiss Bella out of our lives like that? You just thought about what you wanted, about what suited you better. Not what it would cost the rest of us! She's my family too! And you know Edward wasn't going to hurt her! You just didn't tear her heart apart you vaporized it! She is in love with him!" He asked impatiently. My coven's eyes were all on me. Waiting for my answer. But Edward was the one who gave me the most chilling glare from all of them.
You don't love her. I thought.
"You don't know that," He replied.
Then what? Did you want to play "Hormonal teenage boy" again Edward? Isn't it almost a century too late for that? You cant have two mates at the same time. This isn't like a human scenarios Edward. Mates fight till death for the ones they love. I wasn't willing to sit back and let you hurt my sister, you idiot.
"How can you be sure it would be me? When clearly you did a perfectly good job yourself. You were willing to give up her happiness for what you thought was right," He said. I don't have to explain myself to you. And I want you to leave her alone.
"In fact, I want all of you to stay away from Bella. It'll be like she never existed. Like I never had a sister. I'll be the last remaining Hale." I said to them.
"You cant make me stay away," Came the voice of the person I least expected to contradict me.
"We are not discussing this Emmett. You will stay away from my sister. I don't want any Cullen to go near here. Especially you Edward. Keep away."Why is it so hard for them to understand? I just want what is best for Isabella. Why cant they see my pain?
"Rosalie Lillian Hale! Don't you dare try to keep them away from each other. It's fate! It's love!" Alice yelled at me. Stupid hard-headed pixie.
"Alice," Carlisle spoke up. "We will respect Rosalie's wishes. It is her decision to pull her sister out of her life. We must not complain. She is nothing to us-"
"She's going to be my best friend, Emmett's favorite sister, and Edward wife! It's in our destiny! It's in the future damn it! And Rosalie cant come in between that," She continued to yell. "Never Bet against me Rosie."
"Screw the future Ally. I'll be damned if Edward gets near her. For being a limited psychic you seem to forget that, choices alter the future. Try to find one with Bella in our lives now," I hissed.
