TIME: 8:43PM (PST)

Dude, seriously this sucks…. Spring break is almost over… I go back to school on Tuesday (why Tuesday? Idunno). But in about two months…. GRADUATION! Wooooooooo!

Okay, I'm done now. Lol.

Enjoy.

***********************************************************

"Edward told us to wait here for a bit," Emmett said as he caught up with me, Jasper, and Alice.

"Wait for him here?" I was a bit confused.

I heard Alice snickering to herself, which as expected, she was one step ahead of all of us.

Already annoyed, we did as we were told and waited for Edward.

I looked for the Volvo in the crowding lot, it wasn't hard to find only because it was the best looking car here. Plain in comparison to anything I would drive, but it still stood out like a sore thumb.

I watched as the Volvo was idly parked in the middle of the lane.

"He isn't moving," I pointed out irritably.

Alice began to snicker again.

Her snickering had me thinking, 'what am I missing that's so funny?'

That's when I saw it, that noisy behemothof a truck that Bella Swan called a vehicle. It was honking impatiently at my brother's Volvo.

As I focused in on my brother, I noticed he was laughing uncontrollably. My eyes shifted from vehicle to vehicle.

He was doing this on purpose. He wanted to see her agitated from his idiocy.

I felt the envious monster within me growl in dissatisfaction. It didn't like the fact that Edward tried so hard, without really trying at all.

I closed my eyes tight and tried silencing the monster. I tried everything, but nothing could stop it.

Without drawing any attention from the others, I looked down to the ground and slightly turned my head away.

I knew Jasper would notice, if my emotions haven't already given me away.

"Help," I silently mouthed.

I felt his hand on my shoulder and immediately the monster was calmed.

I sighed in relief and composed myself.

"Okay, I've had enough," I told the others, "Let's go."

I took Emmett's hand in mine and led our way to the car.

I had to admit, it was weird seeing my brother shake uncontrollably from laughter rather than scowling at everything and everyone.

Emmett opened my door before taking his seat in the front.

Before I got into the car I couldn't help but stare at Bella Swan.

She was red from irritation, her forehead creased into a frown as she revved her noisy engine.

I didn't like this girl but I had a serious urge to kidnap her truck and remodel it for her. I could just imagine the contents that were under that hood. A rusted old engine, leaking radiator, I even bet the transmission stalls. No one deserves to drive that crap.

My thoughts were interrupted.

"Rose c'mon," Alice said, probably misreading my dazed look.

I did as I was told and got in the car.

Edward was still acting like a fool and now Emmett stared at him like he just lost his mind.

"Let's go!" I hissed impatiently, " Stop being an idiot. If you can."

* * *

"Edward won't be sitting with us today," Alice told me as she met me at my locker.

Lunch had just begun and we were waiting for Emmett and Jasper to arrive.

I gave her a confused look.

"He decided to speak to Bella," Alice grinned.

I didn't acknowledge Alice with a verbal response. I just simply rolled my eyes (I've been doing that a lot lately).

"It's only a matter of time now," Alice said more to herself than to me.

Emmett and Jasper finally joined us.

We headed towards the cafeteria, Emmett and I leading the way.

I always felt so pleased with myself, everyday as I walked down these halls (or any school hall I have walked in). I knew it wasn't my imagination or my ego getting the best of me. It was a matter of fact, that every time a Cullen walked these halls, you move aside and get out of the way.

I continued my little ego boosts all the way to the cafeteria.

As we entered the crowded room I now realized what Alice meant.

Edward sat in an isolated corner away from our usual table.

He was planning on spending lunch with her.

The monster began to snarl again, but I ignored it.

I passed his table without giving him so much as a glance.

'Idiot.'

* * *

A couple of days had passed, I was on the couch flipping through channels, dozens of channels flashing on the screen in the matter of mere seconds.

'I wonder if I can turn my M3 into a nine second car instead of a ten,' I wondered idly.

I then heard the piano stool screech lightly against our floors.

My hand froze as it still held onto the remote control, causing the TV to remain on Animal Planet's: Wild Kingdom (The Lion Chronicles).

Without turning around for any confirmation, I can just imagine Edward's fingers flowing gracefully as they touched each key.

He began playing one of his most beautiful compositions I have ever heard.

'Edward is composing again?'

I listened attentively, trying to decide where he got his inspiration from this time.

This piece sounded much more fragile, delicate actually. Edward over the years has dedicated numerous pieces to each of us, representing our love for our mate. So I wonder who this one is about.

'Wait a minute… Fragile? Delicate?'

Suddenly my jaw tightened angrily realizing the source of Edward's inspiration, 'it's that damn girl!'

'Why is it always about that god forsaken girl?!' I started thinking venomously. 'What power does she have over Edward, that I didn't?! URGH! I can't stand this!'

Just then I heard Edward's composition come to an halt. He let out a snort, smacking his hand to his face before he could laugh any further.

My eyes widened in mortification, Edward just heard everything.

Esme was downstairs in a second, probably like me, listening to the music and just came down to see why it had stopped.

She glanced between Edward and me.

My face still looking shocked and embarrassed.

Esme gave me a confused look before heading to Edward's side.

"Don't stop, Edward," she urged him.

He did as he was told with a smug look on his face.

'If you say anything I will hunt you like a dog,' I thought viciously as I raised to my feet and headed for the garage.

"What's wrong, Rose?" Emmett called after me, looking away from his chess game with Jasper.

I ignored him and continued towards the garage.

"It's a lullaby," was the last thing I heard before I entered the garage.

* * *

I slammed the garage door shut, but that still didn't stop the noise of that damn lullaby from seeping through the walls.

I put the stereo on full blast before I hooked the jack up to my car.

A couple of minutes past before my blaring music came to a quite stop.

"Turn it back on, Emmett," I said from underneath my car.

"But, I'm leaving to go hunting now," he said, "don't you want to say goodbye?"

"Bye," I simply said.

"C'mon babe, don't be that way."

I just rolled my eyes.

"Are you rolling your eyes?"

I opened my mouth to say something smart but…

"Pfft… No," I responded rather lamely.

"Are you mad at me?" he asked innocently.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you're taking Edward's side," I huffed.

"No I'm not," he said quickly.

"You're going hunting with him aren't you?"

"Rose, you can't be mad at Edward."

"What?!" I mouth silently to myself.

"You have to admit," he started, "it was about time he's found somebody. I was starting to think poor kid, was going to be alone forever."

I never really thought of it that way. I didn't really think about how Edward must feel being surrounded by couples all these years. When he had no one to love the same way I did Emmett or Alice did Jasper.

"Rose?" I didn't realize I had remained silent for too long, "Rosie? Are you listening to me?"

Emmett began to gently nudge me with his foot as I still laid on my back underneath my car.

"Will you stop kicking me?"

"Aren't you even going to look at me before I leave? I'm going to be gone till Sunday," I can just hear his pout.

Damn him. He knew me all too well. He knew neither of us could say goodbye like this; even if it were just a three day trip.

I sighed rather loudly.

"That's my girl," I heard Emmett chime, I can practically see him grinning his child-like grin.

I felt his massive hand grasp my leg and pull me towards him.

I rolled out from underneath my car with oil stained cheeks, Emmett's Von Dutch shirt that I was wearing wasn't looking any better.

Emmett got on one knee, now eye level, and wiped my face clean with his hand.

He placed his hand just under my chin, "Good-bye my angel."

He was inches from my face, until finally his lips touched mine.

"I miss you," I told him against his lips.

"I miss you too," he said breathlessly, "if I didn't have to go right now. I would have you right here."

I gave a short laugh, "get out of my garage, McCarty."

Amused, Emmett cocked an eyebrow with the use of his former last name.

"See you around, Hale."

He pulled me into one last kiss before he reluctantly pulled away.

I watched as turned my music back on and made his way back into the house.

I sighed one last time before rolling back under my car.
