Bella's POV

I woke up startled by a big round thunder. I flinched at the sound and dove deeper into the blankets. I turned my head to check the time on the clock that rested on top of my night stand. 5:00 AM was written in big red numbers.

I tried to go back to sleep but it seemed that the storm had picked up again and the constant lightning brighten up my entire room just to be quickly followed by loud thunder.

I sighed and decided to might as well get up now.

I grabbed some shorts and a tank top for the day and went to the bath room to 'bathe'. Let me tell you something, when you don't have running water bathing is quite uncomfortable. We had to use the water that we collected. You basically stand on the shower and then use a damp small towel to get wet, and then you use the soap and rinse. The hair was more difficult. I hated having a greasy head so I couldn't just put it on a bun and forget about it. I was one of those girls that wash their hair daily, I couldn't deal with the every other day rule. So I had to grab a cup, fill it with water—which was really cold— and then pour it onto my head. I finally managed to get clean after a taking a couple more minutes than usually.

I got dressed, brushed my teeth and combed my hair.

I was surprised to find the hallway light on as I exited the bathroom. I heard voices that seemed to be coming from the living room and so I made my way towards it.

Apparently I wasn't the only one that got waken up by the storm. Everybody was up and talking in there. The girls were still wearing their pajamas and the boys were still using the same jeans and t-shirts they were using when they got here the night before yesterday.

"We thought you were asleep" Alice told me as I entered the room.

"No, I got up about half an hour ago but went to take a bath" I explained.

I went to seat on the floor next to Rosalie and she smiled, appreciating that I was still keeping my side of the whole 'let's not forget Rose' thing.

"Is the water back?" Rosalie asked me with a hopeful look.

"Nope" I said popping the P. "You have to do it the way I showed you yesterday. Sorry"

"God, I hate not having water" she said and Alice nodded.

"What about you guys?" Alice asked "It has to be uncomfortable using those clothes for the third day in a row"

"Thanks for rubbing it in" Jasper teased and then laughed "Yes, actually there's little I wouldn't do for a fresh set of clothes but management still has someone making sure that no one goes up or down"

"That has to suck" I said "I couldn't stand using the same clothes for more than one day"

I was truly obsessed when it came to my own personal hygiene. It was like I wasn't comfortable on my own skin if I was dirty, I felt like I smelled badly even if I didn't. It was all pretty ironic considering I didn't mind other people being that dirty.

"Don't tell me your one of those girls that freaks about not repeating clothes to often" Emmett told me with a raised eyebrow.

"Not at all" I chuckled "It's just that I like to feel clean and fresh"

"Me too, and I can't stand this anymore" Alice said standing up "I'm going to take a shower… well not a shower but you know what I mean. Even if I hate doing it like that"

"It helps if you just go and do it quickly" I told her "there's no use in try to do it slowly, you'll just be cold for longer."

"Ok, thanks" Alice said and left the room.


"So what do you want to do today" Edward asked as we were eating breakfast in the kitchen a couple of minutes later.

"I don't know" Rosalie said "Who knew that being stuck in here could be so boring"

"Well I think I'm speaking for all the boys when I say that we are having a good time in here even if the circumstances are not the best" Jasper told us.

"Yeah, thanks for taking us in" Emmett added "I don't know what I would've done with these two the whole weekend."

We girls laughed and Jasper and Edward playfully punched Emmett in the arm. I caught Edward's eye and he winked at me.

We again moved to the living room and absentmindedly spend the next couple of hours of the morning just talking and enjoying the time we were in here. We were getting to know each other pretty well considering that talking was almost all we did. The storm outside seemed to settle a little but it was still coming down hard on top of the city.

"How about another Mario Kart game?" Emmett suggested. "This time I'm sure I'm going to wipe you guys out"

"You're on" I laughed.

This time we played with teams. The boys against the girls, and much to my and Rosalie's annoyance the boys won two out of three games. I blame it on Alice's constant distractions; she needed to stop making goo goo eyes at Jasper when we're playing!

I may have been pouting a little and when Edward noticed he started to laugh.

"Oh, come on" he chuckled "You're not really angry, are you?"

I just continued to pout until Edward leaned down and gave me a quick peck on the lips. That definitely changed the pout for a smile. I went to snuggle to his side and he draped his arm over my back.

"Better?" he asked me and I nodded my head at him.

"Ok, enough with the PDA!" Emmett said and I just threw him an ugly look before I laughed.

We decided to watch a little of the news and apparently the city was getting it pretty bad. A lot of houses were getting water coming in and the streets were covered on trees, mud and small rivers were forming over them.

We were getting it easy compared to the rest of the city.

"Poor people" Alice commented to the view of a couple of owners of houses that got the whole first floor filled with water. Which meant ruined electro domestics, furniture and whatever they had on that floor. "We have to help somehow when this is over"

"We can collect food and water to get to them" I said.

"They usually also need some cash" Jasper pointed out "I'm sure that we can get some for all of those people if we try when we get able to transit. While the storm is still hitting there's not much we can do"

I nodded and we fell back in silence while we watched the rest of the news.

I must have fallen asleep—after all I did wake up early today so a nap sounded really good—because the next I remembered was being carried by Edward towards my room. He set me down on top of my bed. I smiled at him and grabbed his hand as he was about to leave.

"Edward?" I asked.

"Do you need anything?" he asked me in return.

"I was thinking that maybe you'd like to take a nap with me" I whispered and looked down while I blushed. We were only going to sleep, but sharing a bed was still a big deal to me.

Edward lifted my shin and grinned down at me. I heard as he kicked his shoes off and then felt the bed shift under me as he settled in himself.

I turned on my side and looked at him, who was on the same position as me.

"Can I try something?" he asked.

"Ok…" I answered, unsure of what he was talking about.

He gently pushed me onto my back and then rolled me so that my back was to him, then he pulled me backwards and met me half way. My back pressed to his chest. He put his arm around my waist.

"Is this ok?" he asked.

I turned my head towards him at the same time that I intertwined my hand with his. "This is perfect" I whispered and then settled back down.

I felt him kiss the top of my head—see washing it was a good idea—and then he relaxed behind me.

We both fell asleep soon after that and I for one think that this nap should be on the hall of fame for the most peaceful, sweet, amazing nap of all times.

Alice's POV

After Edward took Bella to her room and didn't come back I assumed that he stayed to accompany her.

Apparently Jasper hadn't slept very well the night before and I noticed that he was having a hard time staying awake.

"Jazz, do you want to take a nap or something" I told him "You look pretty tired"

"I'm fine, thanks love" he said. I didn't miss that my heart missed a beat when he called me love in such a casual way.

"Are you sure?" I pressed "You can borrow my bed for a few hours, as long as you give it back at night for me and Rose, then you can have it now"

"Ok, thanks" he said, stood up and made his way to the hallway that connected to the bedrooms. He then turned around and looked at me "What are you waiting for?"

"Huh?" what was he talking about?

"I'm not taking your bed just like that" he grinned "You're coming with me"

I turned to Rosalie; I didn't want to leave her here alone with Emmett if she didn't want to. She smiled at me and mouthed a 'go' to me. I gave her a quick hug and went to take the hand that Jasper was offering me.

We went to my room and fell asleep right away.

Rosalie's POV

Even if I didn't want to be left here I wasn't going to deny my two best friends time with the guys they liked.

"Sorry you get to be stuck with me" Emmett told me.

I sighed and shook my head "No, I'm sorry." I said "I been acting like a bitch towards you and you don't deserve it. Let's just start over, please"

Emmett looked shocked but smiled and nodded.

We kept to ourselves as we continued watching the news. They were currently listing the names of places that had not survived the storm. Showing mountains of the rubbish that was left of said buildings. It was all pretty depressing; seeing how people were losing everything they had in their homes. I just prayed they had some kind of insurance.

Emmett had passed out on the couch about five minutes ago.

I was starting to fell asleep myself when a familiar looking neighborhood came to the screen; I sat up straighter and rubbed my eyes, trying to make sense of whatever they were saying about the place.

"Like I was telling you Stewart." The lady said "This is another one of the buildings that couldn't stand the force of the storm. It fell apart about two hours ago, but thankfully all of the people that lived here were evacuated three days ago because it was suspected that this could happen."

"Amanda, can you repeat the address" the man that I suppose was Stewart said "So that the people that live in those buildings know for sure if it's their own or not."

"Of course!" Amanda said "The address of this location is…."

She went on to tell the address and but I didn't hear her over the noise of my own sobs. I didn't need the address to know that that was my building; I recognized the blue fence in that now laid on the ground, the smashed swing set that the kids used to play on, all those little details registered before than anything else.

I had to do something! I put on my shoes and grabbed my rain coat, my keys and ran to the door in a hurry.

Emmett's POV

I woke up to the sound of the front door being slammed shut.

I looked around and saw that both of the girls' bedroom doors were still closed, but Rosalie was no longer here with me.

"Rosalie?" I called but there was no answer.

Then the image on the TV caught my eye, they were repeating the address to some building that had fallen down. "Shit!"

Rosalie had left after she saw that. Only God knows why she would do something that foolish but there was no way that she was going to make it. The streets were flooded she would get stuck or pulled by the stream.

"Shit, shit, shit!" why did she do that?

After scribbling a quick note to let the guys know where I was I grabbed my Jeep keys and left after Rosalie.

I just hoped it wasn't too late.


A/N: what do you think? a lot of you were asking me about Rosalie and Emmett so there you go... even if it's just a little bit of them :)

Please leave a review and tell me what you though!
