A/N: Hi! I am using Microsoft works word processor so this might come out differently!
Once again… I am risking my iPod and car privileges to give you this so please be nice!
Enjoy…
All of us were sitting in the living room when Edward came in.
"I am going to bring Bella home today so can you all please be nice and try not to embarrass me."
"WHAT?" I exploded with rage. I sensed Jasper trying to calm me down but it had no effect on me. "YOU ARE BRINGING A HUMAN INTO A HOUSE FULL OF VAMPIRES? I DON'T F****** CARE IF SHE IS YOUR MATE OR NOT! YOU CANNOT DO THAT!"
Emmett ran over to me and put a restraining hand on my shoulder. I didn't realize I had taken a couple of steps closer to Edward.
"Rose, calm down." Emmett's voice soothed me and I was able to speak calmly again.
"Edward," I said through gritted teeth. "Didn't you consider the fact that if she sees something abnormal, she might just run for the hills - or the authorities? We'd have a huge angry mob of people and we'd have to go into hiding. We'll be all over the news!"
"Relax, Rose. I know Bella. For her, freaky and weird are just two different words for normal. She can handle it." Edward smiled.
"Fine!" I huffed in defeat. "I'm okay as long as I don't have to be there."
"Emmm, Rose? You have to be there." Alice said.
"Okay, okay! I'll be there, but I didn't say I would be nice."
I ran upstairs to the library.
Stupid Edward. How could he possibly be sure that Bella wouldn't run away screaming?
"Because I love her." Edward's voice made me jump. "I wouldn't want to put any of my family in danger, Rose. If I thought we were in any danger, even just a smidge, I would have left ages ago."
He sat down beside me.
"How do you handle it all? Being able to read minds, I mean."
"It's very difficult to handle. It's like everyone is shouting really loud. It gives me a sore head sometimes."
I sighed.
"The worst thing about it is the lack of privacy other people have. No-one's thoughts are their own when I'm around."
I stayed silent.
"I know you can play the guitar, Rose. Very well, I might add."
"You're not angry?" I asked him.
"No. I'm actually quite hurt that you didn't tell me. All those lovely songs, wasted."
"What do you mean 'wasted'?"
"What I mean is, no-one heard the lovely music you played."
"Oh."
"So? Anything else I should know about? Alice having a passion for the bagpipes? Esme falling in love with the didgeridoo?"
"Nope." I smiled.
"Awwww. We could have started a family band."
I laughed.
He leaned closer to me and draped his arm around my shoulders. I tensed for a second, then leaned into the hug.
"If you tell anyone about us hugging, I will shred you to pieces, followed by your piano." I threatened.
He laughed. "Of course I won't tell."
I got up and pulled him with me.
"Get on my back." I said.
"Why?"
"Just get on!"
"O…kay."
He got on and I raced through the forest to my meadow.
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "It's beautiful!"
"I know!"
"I have a meadow as well."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"So…. Do you want to hear me play guitar or not?"
"Of course I do!"
"Okay then!"
I got my guitar and sat down beside him.
I sang my favourite song.
Being with you is like
Balancing on a see-saw.
Every time we hang out
I feel like I'm braking the law.
I shouldn't be with you
He would get so mad.
I don't know what it
Is about him,
But he just
Ain't as bad.
The way you speak,
The way you move,
The way you walk,
The way you groove.
You just attract me.
Wooooahhhh-oooh
Attract me.
Wooooahhhh-oooh.
Attract me.
He's so controlling
He's always knocking on my door.
But when he says 'I love you'
I know you love me more.
The way you dance,
The way you cry,
The way you smile
When you try.
You just attract me.
Wooooahhhh-oooh
Attract me.
Wooooahhhh-oooh.
Attract me.
"What do you think?" I asked nervously.
He smiled. "It's very… attractive."
I playfully punched his arm.
"Come on, Rose. Emmett has a surprise for you waiting at home."
"A surprise? What is it?"
"You know, you sound like a four year old."
"I don't care. I want my pwezzies!" I pouted.
He laughed. "Grow up."
"ROSE! COME INTO THE GARAGE! WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU!" Emmett hollered as soon as we reached the lake.
I sprinted into the garage.
"SURPRISE!" Emmett grabbed me and carried me bridal style to his Jeep.
Before I could blink, he was in the car and we were speeding down the highway over 200mph.
"Where are we going?"
"Wait and see, Rose. Wait and see."
About ten minutes later, we arrived in the middle of no-where.
Or should I say slap-bang in the middle of no-where.
"Why are we here?"
"I am going to give you the best 2 hours of your entire existence!" he exclaimed.
2 HOURS LATER
It turns out that the so-called 'best 2 hours of my existence' were really Emmett and I hunting.
It was kind of crap.
"Emmett, this has been really boring. Can we go now?"
He pouted. "Did you not like my amazing hunting skills?"
"Well…it wasn't the highlight of my trip."
He laughed. "I really brought you here to get you out of4 hours of shopping with Alice."
I threw my arms around him.
"Thank you so much, Emmett!"
"Anytime, Rose."
We drove back to our house and we were met by one very angry pixie.
"ROSALIE HALE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU MISSED 4 HOURS OF SHOPPING!" Alice demanded.
I groaned. "We have tons of clothes, Alice! Why do we need more?"
She smirked. "Rule number one of being a Cullen: Never- and I mean NEVER- wear the same clothes twice! By the way, I found your secret door. Your converses are dead."
She turned away before I could say anything.
"Right, people. We have 1 hour to get this house perfect for Bella. Esme, you go cook in the kitchen. Carlisle, you go… look doctory. Emmett, wipe your shoes and clean the hall. Rose, clean up Emmett's mess. Jasper, come with me."
I grabbed some wipes and cleaned up all the muddy footprints.
After half an hour of intense cleaning, Bella finally came.
All of us were in the kitchen except Edward.
We heard her voice drift up the stairs.
"Wow. It's so…light and…big."
Edward smiled. "You wouldn't expect 7 vampires to live here, would you?"
"No…"
After what felt like an eternity- humans walk so slowly- she finally came to the kitchen.
Her chocolate brown eyes widened as she took in all of us.
"H…hi." she stuttered. Then she blushed and looked at the floor.
Esme was the first to speak. "Hello, Bella. Welcome to our house. We've made dinner for you. Are you hungry?"
"Em…No. I kind of… already ate…." she blushed again.
"That's very considerate of you." Esme said.
"Hi, Bella." Alice danced over to her and put her arms around her neck. ""We'll be great friends."
Bella looked confused. She obviously wondered what the heck was going on.
Jasper stood back a bit. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Bella."
"Em…Hi." She blushed… again.
"Perfect. This is just perfect." I said as I crushed the bowl of salad I held in my hands.
Bella jumped.
"Just ignore Rosalie, I do." Edward muttered to Bella. Obviously, that show of sibling love in the meadow was forgotten. Some brother he was.
"Yes. Let's just keep ignoring the fact that this is dangerous for all of us." I scowled.
"I would never…tell anybody anything, I swear." Bella put her hands in the air defensively.
"She knows that." Carlisle stated. "It's just-"
"Sssshh!" Edward cut him off.
"No! She deserves to know!" I almost yelled.
Jasper sent waves of calm towards me. It didn't work.
Emmett stepped in. "You two have gone public now so…"
"We're leaving now. Come on, Bella." Edward dragged her out.
Carlisle put his arms around Esme's shoulders.
She gave me a stern look. "Clean this up."
I complied and raced upstairs to my bedroom.
It wasn't that I disliked Bella, just the fact that she could tell anyone. The Volturi could find out and we could die. There was no way that Edward would change Bella.
A/N: What about it?
