Chapter 7: Rosalie

Chapter Song: Everybody Talks by Neon Trees

"PARTAYYYY!" Rose yelled over the bumping music. You know the kind- where it's so loud you can feel it in your stomach.

Rose pulled me into a hug, looking amazing as ever in an ice blue dress. Oh, the irony. Rosalie-once Hale, but not a McCarthy-is what you would call the queen bitch. In high school she was known as the Ice Queen. A heart of ice and the sneer of a venoumous snake. She could and did tear people down with a single word. But all that ice melted away when she met my big bear of a cousin, Emmett. He kept her bitchy-ness in check and she made sure that he kept his stupid comments to himself. They were a match made in heaven.

And they had just gotten home from their 2 month honeymoon in Europe.

"Lets party bitch!" She screamed in my ear and I could smell the alcohol on her breath. She slung her arms around my shoulder and I laughed as she started grinding her hips into mine.

"Where's my cousin?" I asked, hoping she could hear me.

"Getting some-drinks...I think..." She giggled and hugged me tighter. "I missed you SO much BellieBoo!"

"Missed you too Rosie." I said smiling.

"AHHH! I LOVE THIS SONG!" She screamed as the song Everybody Talks came on the speakers. She dragged me towards the dancefloor that was crowded with people.

I told myself that tonight I would try to forget all about my dreams and just have fun. So when Alice joined us and handed me something strong, I quickly gulped it down and started laughing hard, already feeling the affect of whatever the hell I just swallowed.

The three of us danced together, dropping low and grinding against each other. We noticed that we had gotten some attention from other dancers but all three of us were too drunk to care.

After a couple more songs, about 8 more shots and a few stumbles, we finally made our way to the back where our friends and family were at, in the VIP room. The three of us tripped into the room, laughing at absolutly nothing.

Standing there with drinks in hand, was Emmett, Jasper, Jessica, Mike, Seth, Alec and Collin.

You know the story of Emmett and Rose already.

But then there's Alice and Jasper. Ali is a lifelong friend and now she works for me. And she's dating Jasper Hale, who's Rosie's twin brother. They've been together since middle school, and we all know that any time now, Jazz will be popping the question. We're just waiting for when he'll grow the balls to ask.

Then of course, there's Jess and her boyfriend Mike. He's a total creep and he's always hitting on me when Jess isn't around, but they seem to be in love so I don't bother.

Then there's Seth Con, who I've known since Elementary school. He's three years younger than me and still has a percious baby face.

And then there's Alec and Collin, two guys I hung out with in college. They're gay and they've been together since highschool. And now they're looking into adopting a baby, so soon I'll get to be Aunt Bella.

And there they stand laughing their asses off at me, Rosie and Alice as we stumble to the sofa and collapse.

In almost a whimper-giggle, I moaned, "My head hurts."

Everyone just laughed.
