Chapter 3

"Alice? Alice, what am I going to do?" I asked her scared.

"I shouldn't tell you…"

"Yes, you should. You need to warn me. I might make a mistake and ruin everything with Emmett!"

"OK.. I saw you kissing Chuck. And Emmett finding out about it and going mad. Rose, what are you doing?"

"I don't know! I just… I like Chuck, he's new and exciting. But I love Emmett, don't get me wrong. I just… I don't know what to do." I explained. Alice looked like she understood, she looked mad at me too, but hopefully she understood.

"You love Emmett. I know you do. Chuck is just… nothing, a fling. So end it. Before it goes too far. Then we can go home, and you can be with Emmett, and we can forget this even happened." said Alice, but I knew that I didn't want to end it with Chuck. I liked him, I didn't want to hurt him.

"You think we should go home?"

"Yes. Time away from Emmett obviously isn't helping anyone."

"OK, we'll leave this time tomorrow. I need to talk to Chuck first, I need to explain…"

"What are you going to tell him?" asked Alice, just as I was asking myself that.

"Umm.. I don't know, I'll explain about Emmett."

"OK. You better do that Rose. And I'll know if you don't." said Alice, before leaving the room. I sighed, and ran off to go hunting before the sun came up.

When I got back, it was time for school. For the last time. The minute I got there I found Chuck.

"Rosalie, you look beautiful, as usual." he smiled, and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you. Um… we need to talk."

"What about?" he asked confused.

"Not here." I said looking around, Alice had disappeared with Serena. "Feel like skipping class today?"

"For you, of course." he smiled, and we walked out of the school, hand-in-hand.

We went to Central Park, in a quiet little corner. We lied down on the grass next to each other, and I felt so guilty. It felt like I was cheating on Emmett, even though I wasn't. Well… it wasn't what I wanted to do.

"What do we need to talk about then?" asked Chuck. I sat up, and looked at him. He looked amazing. His hair was perfectly styled and his clothes were chosen carefully.

"Alice and I are… we're leaving."

"Leaving?" he asked worriedly, sitting up immediately.

"Yes… um. New York's just not for us I guess."

"But… you can't. Where will you go?"

"It's not for you to worry about." I said, trying to smile, but I took one look at his face and felt like crying. I was hurting him. We'd known each other for two days, and fallen for each other, hard. Things like this were just never fair.

"Rose, don't go. Is there anything I can do… anything I can say, to make you stay?"

"No." I said, truthfully. He looked away from me. He seemed to be desperately looking for something to say. "Chuck, I'm so sorry."

"You know what. Fine. If you really think there's nothing worth staying in New York for, then fine. Hope you have a good life Rosalie." he said and then he left.

Alice appeared out of nowhere.

"You did the right thing." she said.

"Then why does it hurt so much?"

"You'll feel better when you see Emmett. Come on, let's go home."

We sped back home, and Alice was right. I felt so excited when we got to Forks, when we got to the house, I was jumping. Emmett was opening the car door for me the second we pulled up. He pulled me from the car and held me close. I felt safe, home and most of all loved. When I looked at Emmett I forgot all about Chuck.

Later on, we were in each other's arms in our bedroom, just lying there, perfectly happy.

"So, how was New York?" asked Emmett.

"It was… different."

"I know you were only gone for a few days, but I missed you so much." he said, holding me tighter.

"I missed you too. But I think now I know all I need is you to make me happy. Really happy."

"You've only just realised that?" he asked cheekily, laughing.

"Shh you." I laughed.

A few days later, all the boys had decided to go off hunting. Us girls decided a girly day was needed, and a catch-up was needed. Well, I didn't need or want one, but Alice did. And Alice usually can get her own way.

So, I was stuck for a whole day with Alice, Esme, Bella. Oh joy.

"How was New York girls?" asked Esme, it seemed to be the only thing anyone asked these days.

"I loved it! We all definitely need to go shopping there!" said Alice, Bella rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, it was great. So different there." I added. "Anything happen while we were away?"

"Not really. Emmett and Jasper were just moping around the whole time." laughed Bella.

"Yeah, Jasper said he really missed me."

"So did Emmett."

"I wish I could have gone with you two, it sounds like you had a great time." smiled Bella.

"Maybe you can next time!" suggested Alice.

"Next time?" I asked.

"Yeah, you know, next time you fall out with Emmett. And decide to go to New York, to see your new friend." said Alice, having a dig at Chuck.

"New friend? You made friends with someone Rosalie? That's not like you." smiled Esme.

"They got VERY close." added Alice, and I saw her Bella exchange a look.

"Thanks for that Alice." I said, and left the house. She made me so angry sometimes, it just seemed like she didn't care when she hurt my feelings.

"Rose?"

I turned around to see Emmett, "Emm, what are you doing here?"

"I heard you, and you sounded upset."

"But you didn't need to come and see me."

"Of course I did." he said simply, and hugged me. I started to cry. I was taking him for granted so much. He loved me so much, and I had kissed someone else.

"Rosy, baby, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"Nothing."

"It's obviously not nothing. Tell me. Come on, you know you can tell me anything."

"But this is… bad."

"What's happened?" he said.

"When I was in New York… I met someone, just a friend… but we got kind of close. And we… we kissed. It didn't go any further, I promise. And I didn't want anything else to happen, so we came home, and then seeing you reminded me how much I love you. Then you were being you, and it showed me how much you loved me, but I just kept thinking that I had betrayed you. I had to tell you. I love you." I explained.

Emmett just stared at me. We'd stopped hugging long ago, and now we just felt so far apart.

"Please say something?" I said, quietly.

But there was just silence.
