IMPORTANT AN AT THE END!


Rosalie's POV

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.

Bella's POV

"I wish they could just get here already" I murmured to myself. I was currently sitting on the living room couch with Edward at my side, who kept rubbing my back in reassuring circles to try and comfort me. After my little breakdown a couple of hours ago, he wouldn't dare leave my side and I was not complaining at all.

"Trust Emmett" Edward said "I'm sure they're on their way back right now"

I turned and gave him a little smile. He was truly helping me in not bolting out of here and out to look for them myself.

Alice and Jasper were on her room, trying to find some sort of cell phone signal to try and call 911 or something like that. I knew that it was useless in this weather but Alice was doing it for me and Jasper wanted to be with her while she paced in her room with her phone raised above her head.

Knock, knock.

My head shot straight to the door and after blinking twice to wrap my head around the fact that maybe this nightmare was over, I ran towards it with Edward hot on my heels.

I turned the lock and yanked the door opened. I let out the biggest sight of relief I had in my entire life. There stood Rosalie and Emmett—holding hands, huh?—soaked to the bones but they seemed fine.

"Rose!" I launched myself at Rosalie and hugged her around the waist, glad that the worst part was over. "We were so worried. Don't ever do that again!"

"I'm sorry" she whispered "I promise to never pull something like that again"

I could see from the corner of my eye, Edward giving Emmet one of those man-hugs and a small slap on the back. Clearly his way of thanking him for getting our friend back.

I released Rose and took a step towards Emmett as well. "Emmett," I gave him a hug, I couldn't express how grateful I was with him "Thank you so much for getting her back"

I could feel him chuckle and ruffle my hair "As long as she doesn't do it again, it's all good"

I laughed, finally over the concern and worry. I released Emmett and went to stand by Edward, who was quick to wrap his arm around my waist and gave me a kiss on the forehead. I was so lucky to have him there to support me.

Alice must have heard the voices because she came running from her room with Jasper in tow. She was yelling even before she rounded the corner "Rosalie! God, I'm so happy that—" She stopped dead in her tracks the moment she saw us, or should I say, the moment she saw Rose "Rosalie Hale. What the hell are you wearing?"

Of course we all had to laugh at that. Leave it to Alice to notice Rose's outfit before anything else.

Alice ran and gave her a hug never the less "If you ever do that again I'll personally go and break every single one of your stilettos"

"What happened?" Jasper asked for the first time.


After settling in the living room and listen while Rosalie and Emmett filled the rest of us in what had happened the last couple of hours the room fell silent.

I was beyond shocked. I would've thought that Rose was only stuck behind a fallen tree waiting for someone to come and get her. But no, she was fighting to not drown in the storm, completely exhausted and barely holding up; only to be found by Emmett who half dragged her to the Jeep and brought her back.

"You found her like that?" Alice whispered.

Emmett just nodded "It's not something I'd like to see again"

"Oh Rose…" I reached and gave her another hug; it was just so good to finally have her back with us.

She sniffed a little a pulled back "I'm actually really tired. I just want to sleep"

"Of course!" Alice and I said together.

"You can take my bed," Alice continued "I'll sleep with Bella tonight"

"It's a done deal." I agreed "Go and get some rest"

"Thanks girls," Rose smiled at us, and then turned to look at Emmett "And thanks again Emmett, I'll forever be in debt with you."

Emmett gave her a small grin and Rose left for Alice's room, still wearing what Alice now called The Atrocity.


The following hours and day just went in a big blur. We pretty much just did the same, but the feeling between the six of us was a little different. After the whole drama that went down we were a little more jumpy—specially us girls—but what I noticed the more was the Emmett and Rosalie were no longer fighting, but were instead teasing each other every so often.

At first Emmett looked surprised but it didn't take the big bear long before he started making his own jokes. I could see Rosalie roll her eyes at him but this time she wore a smile on her face instead of the ugly scowl she had been sporting the past couple of days.

As for the new "couples" we had pretty much just had a great time being together. It was fun to simply hang out around each other. Jasper and Alice were constantly staring into each other's eyes and I could see them going together for the long run. Edward and I had kept to the hand holding, waiting to get to know each other better before anything else. And I am positive that we're both perfectly fine with that.

And before we knew it the electricity, water and phone lines were back on, it was finally over.

However Alice and I didn't get the apartment back to ourselves. The boys' place downstairs still had a lot of damages that would be taken care of by the administration but it would take some time, and since Emmett and Rose were left with a smashed building, that meant that the six of us were back on together at the same place.

But it was different this time. Jasper and Edward went downstairs to get some things for themselves and Emmett, like clothes and toiletries. Rosalie had everything she needed provided by us.

Having water again was a huge relief but I still remember how Alice called dibs on the shower first. Boy was she not expecting what happened to her. The water came, but after being in there for a minute, we heard a scream, some fumbling and then the little pixie shot out of the bathroom, dressed in a towel and with muddy water dripping from her hair.

We had to leave the water running for a while before it came clear and Alice could wash herself, followed by the rest of us.

I was beginning to think my little family of three was turning into a bigger one of six.
