TIME: 12:50AM(PST)

As promised here's another one. I'm sorry I have to admit this chapter is a bit slow. But after reading it you'll soon realize the next one will not be. Haha. Sorry if I spoiled it.

Enjoy.

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

"Urgh!" Alice groaned in frustration, "ANSWER YOUR PHONE!"

She glared at her tiny phone as if it was the phone's fault that her calls weren't going through. Her grip around the tiny phone tightened as she called one more time.

"You're going to crush it," I told her.

"What's the point of having a cell phone if your not going to answer it!?" she seethed. (A/N I feel the same way Alice… I feel the same way.)

"Who are you trying to call anyway?" I asked still not looking away from my Vanity Fair issue.

"Edward," she said clearly still frustrated, "he's in Port Angeles and I just saw-"

She stopped mid-sentence.

I looked away from my magazine to look up at her, "saw what?"

"I don't want to tell you," her mood quickly changed from frustrated to wary.

I glared at her suspiciously. She began to fidget nervously the longer I glared. It was only a matter of time until she gives me the information I want. People might find I can be very persuasive without even saying a word.

"Rose… can you not look at me like that…"

"Like what Alice?" I continued to glare but kept my voice smooth, "I don't know what you're talking about."

It was only a matter of time.

"Okay!" she moaned, "I'll tell you!"

I smirked, "that's all I'm asking."

"But you have to promise not to get mad," she said pointing at me accusingly.

I put my hands up as a symbol of agreement.

"Edward saved Bella in Port Angeles," she started.

"Saved?"

She nodded then continued, "Bella was wandering in a secluded area of the city and a couple of drunk men began to follow her… They were planning to… to…"

"To?"

"Rape and murder her," Alice finished.

I felt my eyebrows raise about a quarter of an inch in surprise, but Alice didn't notice.

"Is that when Edward showed up?" I kept my voice smooth, showing no emotion.

She nodded, "he got there just in time, before they can even touch her."

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know!" suddenly Alice's frustration was back, "that's why I've been calling him!" she was glaring at her phone again.

"I see…"

Alice's frustration was gone as quickly is it had came, "you're not mad?"

'How could I be?' I wondered, 'he only prevented the same exact thing that happened to me from happening to her. There was no reason to be mad.'

I shook my head in response.

Alice looked at me for a good two seconds trying to read my expression. She soon gave up an hit the redial button one more time.

"Sorry I've missed your call. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible," I heard on the other end of the phone.

BEEP!

"Edward! Why aren't you answering your phone?! I'm going crazy!" Alice exclaimed finally settling on just leaving a message as she began to walk out of my bedroom, "How's Bella? Is she alright? If they've touched her I swear!"

I sat silently in my room, alone thinking…

Ever since that day when Edward caught me swimming in my shallow pool of vanity, I realize how less and less jealous I had become of Bella. I still didn't like her, not one bit. But, it was good to feel that the envious monster had gone. I still didn't appreciate the threat she posed to my family.

It must have been something Emmett said. I believe it was the part where he told me he always thought Edward would be alone. Who am I to argue with who Edward is meant to be with, even if it is a plain human girl.

I guess I have nothing to do but except it. Well, I won't be inviting her on shopping trips anytime soon. But, it's the least I can do.

I came downstairs the following morning only to hear CNN playing on the TV.

Edward stood unmoving with a hard look on his face as he watched the TV.

"Alonzo Calderas Wallace, suspected serial rapist and murderer wanted in the states of Texas and Oklahoma, was apprehended last night in Portland, Oregon thanks to an anonymous tip. Wallace was found unconscious in an alley early this morning, just a few yards from the police station. Officials are unable to tell us at this time whether he will be extradited to Houston or Oklahoma City to stand Trial."

A mug shot of a rugged, un-kept man with a thick beard popped up onto the screen.

I heard a small growl escape from Edward's lips.

"Is that the guy?" I asked.

Edward quickly snapped out of his anger. Clearly surprised that I was talking to him again.

"Huh?"

I pointed at the screen, "is that the guy? Who tried attacking Bella?"

He just nodded, still in shock that I even knew about the event.

I turned off the TV after the segment was over, "c'mon we're going to be late for school."

"Rose," I heard him say as I turned away to head for the garage.

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind driving?" Edward said "I'd like to take Bella to school today."

"I suppose," I said distastefully.

Like I said, I accepted Bella… It didn't mean I liked her.

* * *

Edward had already left by the time I got to the garage.

I walked into the garage only to find Alice sitting on the hood of my M3 with a grin that occupied most of her face.

"Alice, you know better, "I glared at her, "off."

She gracefully hopped off of my car.

"I didn't leave a dent," she said still smiling.

"Still… you know how I feel about you guys leaning or sitting on my car," I told her as I inspected the hood of my car.

"I heard what you said Rose."

I was still bent over my car inspecting every part of it and Alice's face was now inches away from mine.

"Personal space Alice," I put my whole hand in Alice's face pushing her away.

"I heard what you said," she repeated still grinning.

"What did I say?"

"You called her Bella," I thought Alice was going to explode with excitement.

"So? Isn't that her name?"

"Yeah. But, you usually call her 'that girl' or 'Swan girl,'" she said mocking my voice.

I narrowed my eyes, "shut up Alice."

* * *

I pulled into the schools lot and smirked as I watched everyone's eyes on my baby as I parked it.

"Finally, my car gets the recognition it deserves," I said with a smile.

Suddenly Alice began gasping for air.

"HURRY! HURRY! Quick! Someone open a window!" she said.

Jasper quickly reached over the seat, "Alice?! What is it!? Are you okay?!"

"Open the window!" she repeated, "I can't breathe! There's no room in the car for Rose's ego!"

She began laughing uncontrollably, Emmett following soon after.

I glared at her, "get out of my car."

I opened my door and quickly got out.

"Oh, c'mon Rose! I was just joking," Alice apologize still laughing.

"Ha-Ha. It was so funny," I mocked rolling my eyes. "Hey!" I snapped at Joseph Dash (a junior) who was inching slowly towards my car.

"Is t-t-t-t-this your car R-R-R-R-Rosalie?" he stuttered.

"Did you see me drive it in here?" I asked smartly.

He nodded vigorously.

"Then obviously."

* * *

It was the beginning of lunch and we had just took our seats and like last time Edward sat in an isolated corner with Bella.

I was bored with "eating" so I rested my head on Emmett's chest and closed my eyes.

"Rose, I have something to tell you," Alice said.

"What is it Alice?" I said dully, not bothering to open my eyes.

"Now remember we're in a public place… So, don't do anything rash."

"What is it?" I repeated.

"Now Jazz you have to stay calm too."

"Okay," he said softly.

"Bella knows... About us."

"What?!" Jasper and I exclaimed at the same time.

I snapped up-right in my seat.

"I thought it would be better to tell you here," Alice motioned to the whole cafeteria, "to be honest your reactions are a million times better than the ones you would have if Edward told you at home."

I was now glaring a hole into the back of Bella's head.

Without looking away from his Government book Emmett snaked his arm around my waist and held me against him in a tight grip so I wouldn't move.

"Calm down babe," he said kissing the top of my head.

I did as I was told and slumped into his chest.

"Edward can consider his Aston Martin scraps," I threatened.

"Then I suppose this is a bad time to tell you… He plans on taking her to the house this weekend," Alice said innocently.

I felt my jaw tighten.

"I'm going to strip his car and sell the parts on eBay…"

* * *

"Why are we cooking again?" I asked for the hundredth time.

"Because Bella might be hungry when she gets here," Esme said as she put oil onto a pan.

"Oh, I'm sure food is the first thing on her mind when she gets here," I said sarcastically.

"Rose, you will not be unpleasant to her while she is here," Carlisle told me.

"Babe please pass me the basil," Emmett said reaching towards me.

I glared at him murderously as I passed him the basil. How could he take part in this?

"I can't make any promises," I started, "if a remark slips from time to time, I cannot be held responsible."

"Rosalie Lillian Hale Cullen," Esme said sternly, "you will be on your best behavior. I will not have Bella think you were raised by a pack of wolves. You know better than that."

I winced, I hate it when they used my full name.

I quickly composed myself, "pfft, wolves? C'mon Esme, we know I smell a billion times better than those mongrels…"

"They're here!" Alice squealed as she bounced up and down into the kitchen.

Right on cue I heard the front door click open.

"We're here," I heard Edward's voice say softly all the way from the other end of the house.
