*GASP*

"She said she'd update in a week, and it only took her two days!"

"AMAZING!"

That's right I just couldn't wait to write this chapter and it provided a nice break form studdying. THANKS for all the good wishes for my calculus exam, now will you please extend that love for my Business Studies and Phisics exam as well? )

IMPORTANT AN: ok just to get things straight, Rose's car was being dragged on the road but it fell onto the side, which is on a lower level than the actual road; making the top of the car a little more at level with the actual road. I know it's weird and hard to explain but in my mind it looks right. Hope you guys have avid imaginations LOL.

Hope you enjoy the chapter, and thank you for the wonderful support you showed for the last one. It's not that I think it was crap, I'm just not used to writting angst so I had NO IDEA of how it would read. So I'm glad you liked it!

Enjoy!

Rosalie's POV

"Please! Somebody," I yell for what seemed the thousand time "help me!"

And finally, after all the screaming and fighting to keep myself up in the strong rain, I hear someone calling back.

"Rosalie!" I hear him yell.

I see the bulge of what I think is the person crazy enough to come out in this weather, but he's moving in another direction, not knowing where the calls are coming from.

I take a deep breath and try to manage to get another shout out but my throat is sore after being in the cold for so long. But I said I wouldn't give up, no matter what—better lost my voice than my life after all. I struggle to get up and once on all fours, since that's the best I can do at this point, I call again.

"Help, over here!" it's like the wind is knocked out of me because I fall once again and I start to sob again, hoping that this all over soon.

I see him change direction and now, finally, someone's moving closer to where I am. He stops for a second as if gazing in my direction and I think once he knew for sure that I was in that line of course he came running straight to where I was—well as fast as you can with more than two feet of water at your feet and rain that seems to be determined to crush you under it.

"Rose!" I hear again in this time I think—no, I know—who it belong to. It's not just any man, it's Emmett.

Emmet… why would he come after me? He of all people, of all the other ones that could have come, I was a royal pain in the ass and yet he came; and probably he will be the reason I make it out of here without drowning.

But it can't be him. I'm sure I'm just imagining things after all the time I spent thinking about him in my car. My mind is just playing me.

Not a single one of my friends came after me, and I don't blame them at all. It's dangerous and they would just have gotten hurt in the process. They are probably worried sick right now, and it's my entire fault. Just the thought of it makes me cry harder and stronger, but it will all be over soon.

"Dammit Rose!" the person that can't be Emmett yells "I can't see a thing. Where are you?"

My mind is trying to cope with the idea that he might have come, but it still doesn't make any sense to me. "Emmett?" I manage to say loud enough for him to hear and he finally run-swims the rest of the way, blindly searching with his arms to feel the car.

He finally is close enough to see and his face is the one of pure concern.

Emmett's POV

After reaching the car, what I see just finishes breaking my heart. First it was the scream and now the picture in front of me is not one I would wish to anyone.

Rose is crumpled on top of the car, sobbing into her arm. When she looks at me, her eyes hold nothing but shock and sadness. Was she shocked that I came? Surprised I'd understand, but shock.

I jump the barely there gap and get on top of the car. I gently pick her up by her arms so that she is sitting and try to see if she is hurt.

"You-u c-ca-me-e?" she stuttered. "Oh, Emmett"

The last thing I thought would happen occurred. Rosalie launched herself at me and hugged my waist tightly, burying her face on my chest and holding on to dear life as she cried. It took me a second to realize what was happening and then I cautiously wrapped my arms against her shoulders and back and rested my head on top of hers.

"Of course I came" I answered her earlier question. "Now, let's get out of here"

She nodded against my shoulder but didn't move. "Do you think you can swim back to the car? It's not that far now that I know where you were"

"Emmett, I've been in here for hours" she looked up at me "I don't think I can do it" she now looked remorseful as if she was sorry that she couldn't move.

"Hey, don't worry" I dropped my arms, but held hers. Then I turned around and wrapped them around my neck. "You think you can hold onto me while I take us back?"

"Yes" she whispered but moved her arms to my shoulders and tightened her grip on them. I turned my head and gave her a thankful smile; I didn't want to be choked in the water right now.

I made our way back to the Jeep that was waiting for us, and thanked God that it was still there when we arrived.

Opening the driver's door I jumped inside with Rose still attached to me and quickly closed it back, not wanting to get any more water than necessary; I helped her move to the passenger's seat.

"Are you hurt?" I finally asked her and she shook her head.

"I'm just really cold" she said in a voice stronger than the one she had only moment ago.

I reached to the back seat, where I kept my gym bag. Thankfully I still had the clean towel and t-shirt that I hadn't been able to use the day this whole flood started. At this rate we might as well just build an arc.

I handed the towel and shirt to Rosalie but she only took the towel and started drying herself over her soaked clothes. I had to stop her.

Putting my hand on her arm to halt her movements I said "You'll get sick if you stay in those wet things for the ride back, it didn't exactly took me ten minutes to get here."

I shifted so that I was facing my window and with my back to her. "I won't look, I promise"

I heard her sigh but she didn't say anything to contradict me so I just assumed that she was doing as I told her.

Rosalie's POV

He was right, and I was glad that I did have something to remove this 'wet things' as he had put it.

I peeled of my shirt and bra and toweled myself dry the best I could. Then I took the bra and placed it on the towel, closing the towel around it I rinsed the bra so that most of the water was left on the towel and then put it back on. It felt damp of course, but it was better than no bra at all.

I took the folded t-shirt and pulled it over my head. Of course it reached almost to my mid-thighs and so I got an idea.

"Do you have some running shorts?" I asked Emmett, who was still facing away. "I don't care if they're dirty."

"Are you sure?" from the sound of his voice I could tell that said shorts were dirty.

"Yes," I said "My jeans have more water in them than my shirt did. Where do you have them, I can get them myself"

"Look on the top compartment" he told me.

I opened the zipper and found some used basketball shorts and another t-shirt. He had worn them; that much was clear but they didn't smell bad and I thanked my lucky stars for it.

I took of my jean tossed them to the floor right next to my shirt and then removed my panties, repeating the process with the towel and then putting them back on, followed after Emmett's shorts.

"You can turn around now" I said after taking a deep breath. He did and I could see the grin that he was trying to hold back. "And no comments on my fabulous fashion statement, ok? I know I look like a wet cat with my make up all over my face, my hair sticking out on big chumps and me drowning on your clothes"

"I wasn't going to say anything" he muttered and looked down.

"Thank you, Emmett" I told him in all honesty.

"For the clothes?" he asked me.

"Well, yes for the clothes." I answered "But also thanks for coming after me. If it weren't for you I don't know what would've happened. You saved my life and I will always thank you for that."

I watched as he moved one of his hands so that it rested on top of one of mines.

"What you did was very, very stupid Rose" he said and I nodded. "But there was no way I would just let you go like that. You woke me up when you slammed the door and I basically ran after you that moment"

"So the others didn't know" I asked as I watched our intertwined hands instead of his eyes.

"I left them a note" he said just as quietly.

"I'm sorry" I said once again. He then lifted my face to look me in the eye.

"The important thing is that you are fine" he smiled and then shuddered.

It was then that I remembered that even though I was the one out there for a longer time, he was also soaked to the bone in cold water. And here I was, comfy and warm on his dry clothes.

He must have noticed what I was thinking because he smiled at me and shrugged it off "Don't worry about it" he told me.

"At least wear your other t-shirt" I suggested and after thinking two seconds about it he reached into his bag to take the shirt out.

The difference her was that he didn't asked me to turn the other way, he simply took off his wet shirt and replaced it with the new one. I was left to gap for about ten seconds at his beautiful body.

Of course I blushed at my own thought and he noticed and smirked a little bit.

"Let's get back to our friends" he said and started to drive.

It took us nearly two hours on that horrible weather but we managed to get back to the apartment in one piece. We ran to the lobby and were greeted once again by the guy who didn't want to let us out on the first place; he spotted us and stood up.

"Oh no you don't" he said and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Dude, it was an emergency. Ok?" Emmett tried to reason with him.

"An emergency? Yeah right" he scoffed. "You two were just probably making out; out there and now you got cold and want to get back in. Well guess what? You're not gonna."

It looked like Emmett wanted to say something to the annoying employee but I said something first.

"Well of course!" I agreed. "And now you're just jealous that we got to spend a little alone time out there together, while you've been here alone this past couple of days. Now if you'd be so kind as to let us get back to our friend's place because I want to keep doing that with him, but without freezing to death. Ok?"

I didn't even bother waiting for an answer; I just walked right passed through him. Not that he put up a fight, he looked so shocked that I actually stood up to him and 'admitted' what we had been doing.

I looked over my shoulder to see what was taking Emmett so long. Poor guy was so taken off guard by my little speech that he was standing there with his mouth hanging open with a look that combined shock and amusement written all over his face. He regained his composure and followed after me, not before giving the other guy a smirk. It was good thing neither of us actually lived here; otherwise we might've had problems with management or something.

After walking up the flight of stairs, I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"They'll kill me" I muttered.

Emmett surprised me by holding my hand. "They'll just be glad that you're back safe" he whispered.

"Thanks to you"

Then I heard the sound of two pairs of running footsteps.

AN: so... how was it? Leave me a review and tell me all about it :)

Who could those footsteps belong to?

The next update will probably be someday next week. I need to study and plus I have 3 fashion shows this weekend so no time to write, but on monday I'm done with exams and I'll have more time to work on a chapter.

PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!

XOXO

P.S. nobody told me what they thought of the banner! what did you think? I, for one, LOVED IT! specially the fog-y effect with Rose and Emmett at the eye of the storm :)
