AN at the end!


Rosalie's POV (from the moment she left the apartment)

I slammed the door behind me and started to run down the hallways and then the stairs that will take me to the first floor. I had to do something; I couldn't just sit there and pretend that nothing had happened.

As I was reaching the bottom steps the guy that told us we couldn't go downstairs looked up. He was sitting, resting his back against the wall, with his legs on top of a step.

"No one can leave" he repeated looking annoyed.

I just jumped over him as I reached that step and landed on the lobby of the building—getting the bottom part of my jeans soaked due to the water—and kept running out of there.

I vaguely heard a "Hey!" from the guy but I ignored it and kept running. I could do this. I had to do this.

Going through the heavy rain I got to my car and got inside. Once inside I started it and slammed the pedal—leaving my friends behind and going to the unknown.

The streets were a mess, full of trees and mud. The rain wasn't any better—having the wipers at full force I could barely see through the windshield—but I kept going through the flooded streets.

I drove and drove and drove until I hit something that I couldn't see and suddenly my car wouldn't go forward any more. God, this could not be happening! I tried but it seemed that the back wheels will just rotate in place but not move.

"Shit!" I yelled in frustration and slammed my hands against the steering wheel. Now what was I going to do?

I reached for my phone that was on the passenger seat but couldn't use it because I was not getting any bars.

Now I was seriously stuck. This sucked. My home was destroyed, I was alone out here—which was probably my fault—I didn't have any way to reach my friends or call for help and to top it all up the rain was picking up, again.

I had to do something, but what? After a couple of minutes I started to panic and then I saw it. Sitting on one of the shelves in the dashboard.

A red lipstick.

Bella's POV (from the memento Rosalie left the apartment)

BANG!

I was rudely awakened by a sound coming from outside my closed door. What was that?

I was about to stand up to see what that noise had been until I realized that I was currently spooning with Edward and apparently my sifting had woke him up.

"What's wrong?" he asked me with heavy, barely awake. He looked so cute!

"Did you hear that?" I asked him. I sure I heard a door being slammed but that didn't make any sense; we were supposed to be locked up in here until management cleaned the lobby and first floor.

"I didn't hear anything" he murmured "Let's go back to sleep, Ok?" he said and pulled me tighter against his chest. Maybe I did imagine the whole thing, or maybe I dreamt it. I sighed and settled myself back to one of the most comfortable places known to man—Edward's arms.

Just as I was about to doze off again, I heard another SLAM. And this time I was sure that I wasn't imagining things.

"Edward," I nudged him "you have to have heard that!"

He shifted but opened his eyes never the less. He looked around a bit, maybe trying to figure out what was all that about.

"You're right" he agreed "It sounded like a door. But who would go out right now?"

"Or maybe someone came in…" I suggested and cringed at the idea. What if someone was breaking in! We would all die; I mean I'm sure the boys will try to defend us, but what if they had a gun?

Edward must have seen the look of horror on my face because he leaned in and kissed my forehead. "Don't worry. I'm sure no one has come in here, and even if they did who would go against Emmett?" he laughed.

"You're right, but let's go see what's going on out there" I said and stood up from the bed. Edward however stopped me before I opened the door and spun me around.

"I really enjoyed that nap" he smiled at me "Thank you for inviting me to join you"

"You have nothing to thank me for, I enjoyed it as well" I answered.

We left the room and went into the living room expecting to see the rest of our group, but it was empty.

"That's weird" Edward noted.

I went into the hallway to look in Alice's room and found the door closed so that meant she and Jasper were probably there alone. So, where were Rosalie and Emmett?

"Bella!" Edward yelled from the kitchen and I ran to see what was going on. "This was on the table; it's Emmett's handwriting" he handed me a scrap of paper with messy handwriting on it.

Our building fell down and Rosalie ran out

in hopes of doing something I guess.

I went after her. Don't worry I'll get her back.

-Em

"She what? And Emmett let her go?" I asked, glaring at the piece of paper in my hands.

"Love, you don't know that" Edward told me "He went after her after all so she should be fine, Emmett has a Jeep so he can make his way through the storm"

"Are you kidding me?" I panicked "Edward, there's a freaking hurricane out there it's not just some drizzle that can be taken lightly!"

Edward was about to say something but I spun and ran to Alice's room. She needed to know. I banged on the door two times before yelling "I'm coming in, whether you're decent or not!" and opened the door.

Edward's POV

I was about to try and get some sense into Bella when she turned on her heel and ran out of the kitchen.

"I'm coming in, whether you're decent or not!" I heard her scream from the hallway. I could only assume she was talking to Jasper and Alice. I knew Jasper well enough to know he wouldn't not be 'decent'—as Bella put it—this early with Alice; after all he was the perfect southern gentleman. But I still could be wrong so I ran after Bella in hopes of stopping her and actually waiting for our friends instead of busting into Alice's room.

However I was too late, just as I was rounding the corner I saw Bella open the door and step inside of the bedroom. I sprinted to get there as well as soon as possible in case I needed to remove her from there.

Jasper and Alice were both sitting on the bed facing each other.

"Oh." Bella said and shrugged "Alice you have to come!"

"Why what happened?" Alice asked Bella.

"Rosalie's building fell because of the storm and—" Bella started but was interrupted by Alice.

"What? Where is she now?" Alice stood up from the bed "Rosalie!" she called.

"That's what I'm trying to tell you! She left!" Bella said "We don't know anything; she could be hurt or something!"

"Where's Emmett?" Jasper asked, speaking for the first time.

"He left us a note saying he left after her to go and get her back" I explained.

"What are we going to do?" Alice said with a worried expression.

"We are going to get them back of course!" Bella yelled and my eyes just about bugged out of their sockets.

"You can't be serious" I said.

"Of course I am!" Bella said and ran out the room. I saw that Alice and Jasper were on the same page as me because they were looking at the door shocked.

I ran after Bella and caught her from behind by the waist just as she was reaching the front door of her apartment.

"Edward, let me go" she whined and struggled to get free of my hold on her "We have to do something!"

"I'm not letting you go out there" I told her with a serious face. "It's dangerous"

"Edward, I'm serious. Let. Me. Go. NOW!" I hesitated for a moment. I didn't want her to go; it would be stupid and reckless to go out right now. But I wasn't going to use my force to hold her if she didn't wanted me to do it. Thankfully I was saved of making a decision as Alice ran into the foyer with Jasper trailing behind.

"Bella, wait!" Alice said. "If you go out there it wouldn't help them at all and you could get harmed in the process"

"She's right" Jasper backed her up "We don't even know where they are of how far are they, it wouldn't be useful for us to try and follow them"

Bella looked like she was processing everything that we were telling her and then she fell limp in my arms and started to cry. I scooped her up bridal style and carried her back to the living room. I sat down on the couch with her in my lap and she just shifted so that she was now sobbing into my shoulder.

"Shh, it's going to be OK" I told her as I rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.

"I'm just so worried that something may happen to her." She said.

"I'm sure Emmett will take care of her, he'll find her" Alice said "I just know he will"

"Bella, the Jeep Emmett has will get through it" Jasper piped in "Try to relax"

I let Bella finish letting it all out on my shoulder; all the while rubbing her back and her arms. I hated seeing her like this, all broken and sad. It made me want to prevent that at all costs.

After a while she calmed down and sat up straighter.

"I'm sorry" she whispered to me.

"Don't be" I said as I removed some of the tears that were still on her cheeks with my thumb. "You're just worried for your friend"

"Friends" she told me "I'm also worried for Emmett"

"It'll be OK" I assured her one more time. Hoping with all my being that it will be that way.
