"We're here," I heard Edward call.
Alice began squealing with excitement as she heard their footsteps get closer and closer. I heard the back sliding door slide open, Jasper walked slowly into the room. I could see the nervousness that occupied his face.
"Oh good you're here," Alice said taking his hand, "I thought you were going to miss her."
"This is important to you," Jasper mumbled as he looked down at the floor.
"Alice, remind me again," I said quickly, "how exactly did she find out? About what we are?"
"Google," she said quickly.
"Google?!"
"Yeah," Alice said nonchalantly, "she Googled it."
I whirled around to give Esme, Carlisle and Emmett and disbelieving look.
"You can just Google anything now a days," I said exasperated.
I was still in shock. How can a simple website such as Google, just feed her all the answers?
'What did she do?! Search "how to spot a vampire 101"?!'
"Bella, this is my family," Edward's smooth voice interrupted my angry thoughts towards that damn website.
Google. Pfft. What the hell.
"Hello," she whispered softly but politely, "it's very nice to meet you. You have a lovely home."
"Thank you Bella," Esme said smiling warmly.
"Hi Bella!" Alice was grinning like she just purchased a one of a kind pair of Manolo Blahnik's.
Before Bella could even return the greeting Alice had her in her arms, hugging her tightly.
"Oh," Alice said while backing away," you do smell good… I've never noticed before."
"Alice…" Edward said through gritted teeth, clearly embarrassed.
Bella began to blush, her cheeks becoming the slightest shade of pink.
Suddenly, I felt a growl slowly rip in the pit of my stomach. I knew no one else could her it, it was a subconscious growl.
'Oh no…'
It was back… the envious monster was back.
This time it didn't crave for Edward's attention. No, not this time.
'What do you want?' I asked the monster.
Then at that moment, everything went silent. I almost couldn't hear anything… almost.
There was a pounding in my ear, it was practically deafening.
DUB, DUB! DUB, DUB!
The pounding was Bella's heart, it fluttered with anxiety.
The noise continued to pound in my ear, taunting me… toying with me.
My brow furrowed as I examined her more closely.
My eyes rested on her rosy cheeks.
The monster's growl was getting louder.
'Is it her blood that you want?'
Edward was to preoccupied with everyone else to notice anything that I was thinking.
The monster growled, it was like it was telling me I was right.
Suddenly, I realized the monster did want Bella's blood; just not in that way. It wanted her blood to be its blood. To have it flow in its veins.
I sighed, 'I understand.'
This frustrated me.
I silently walked out of the room without excusing myself, I'm sure I wouldn't be missed.
"Rose?" I heard Emmett call, "where are you going?"
I ignored him and continued on my way.
"Did I do something wrong?" I heard Bella ask, she truly did sound worried.
"No," Edward said, "Rosalie just has a problem with someone on the outside knowing."
Five minutes ago that would have been the correct answer.
Now? My problem was… the fact that she was human.
This just made things complicated…

(Jasper's POV)
I remained silent as they bombarded Bella with hundreds of questions.
I didn't dare breathe, I was too afraid I would lose control and kill her.
I winced at the thought. It didn't bother me at all if Bella died, it was Alice I was worried about. It was painful just to imagine the look on Alice's face as I hovered over Bella's dead body.
I put all those thoughts away. I concentrated on the atmosphere of the room, everyone was so excited and happy to meet Bella it was easy to forget the image of her dead body.
I let their emotions take me to a happy place.
All of their emotions except one… Rosalie.
This must have been hard for her. I felt her jealousy, as always, but this time it was mixed with an emotion of confusion.
I concentrated harder on just Rose alone… it almost felt like she was two different people, feeling two different things at once. One person feeling confused and the other feeling jealous.
I gave her a quick glance, her brow was furrowed and she seemed frustrated. The jealousy must be coming from deep inside.
Without a word, she silently left the room.
"Rose?" I heard Emmett call, "where are you going?"
She ignored his calls and continued towards the back door.
Bella asked if she had did something wrong, Edward assured her she did not.
Emmett watched Rose slide the door shut behind her and run into the woods.
Emmett's natural joy was quickly replaced with concern.
He was just about to chase after her until I stopped him.
"You stay," I told him, "I'll go…"
"But-"
"It's fine… you stay."
I could tell he desperately wanted to chase after her; but I also knew this is something she would have liked to talk to me about.
He nodded, "okay…"
"I'll be back," I told Alice.
"She's headed west," she told me silently.
I nodded in understanding.
"Bella," I gave her a polite but half-hearted smile before leaving.

(Rosalie's POV)
"Shut up! SHUT UP!"
I felt like a complete mental person, yelling at myself like that. It didn't help much either that I was alone in the woods screaming my head off.
But the damn thing wouldn't shut up.
I thought I had this thing beat! I seriously did. And then it comes back stronger than ever! Only this time it has a new reason to hate Bella.
Did I not come to terms with this? Did I not just say the other day that I accepted Bella for who she was?! Did I not just say that?!
"Did you not get the memo?!" I said yelling at the monster.
I punched a pre-mature tree, the contact with my hard fist only had the tree come crashing down onto the soft soil.
I heard dozens of birds squawk as they flew away in fear.
"Argh!" I was breathing heavily now from frustration.
"You know I'm pretty sure they can't hear you in Canada," I heard a voice say, "maybe you should yell louder."
I whirled around only to find Jasper.
I settled my breathing and calmed myself down.
"I was expecting Emmett," I told him honestly.
"He wanted to come," he said, "but I told him to stay... I kind of figured I would be easier to talk to."
These were the times I was truly grateful that Jasper joined our family.
"Thanks…"
"No problem," he said, "So, did you want to start? Or should I?"
"If you don't mind," I started, "can I start?"
"Okay… lets begin with… what's wrong?"
I sighed, "It's back again… and I can't get it to shut up."
I've told Jasper about the monster before… the first time it had came.
"Ah, I see… That's what I must have been sensing."
I gave him an apologetic look, "yeah, I'm sorry about that. I know how much you hate having to deal with my mood swings."
"I'm used to it by now," he said smugly.
I smiled half-heartedly, I ran my fingers through my hair and closed my eyes tight before sighing again.
"Does it ever get easy?" I asked pacing back and forth.
"What does?"
"Life…"
"Life's a bitch…" he said, "then you die…"
"If we were only that lucky," I chuckled.
"Yeah…" he agreed, "If you want I can make it easier for you."
I coked my head to the side, wondering what he was talking about.
"If you want I can help you suppress the feeling," he told me, "I can try to help you feel content 24/7."
"No Jazz," I said, "that is too much to ask for. You've already done so much. I'm just going to have to endure it. And I don't want to settle for… content."
"Are you sure?"
I nodded, "I can beat this thing… I think."
"Don't worry Rose, you will."
"Thanks Jazz."
Jasper pulled me into a tight hug.
"I've always got you're back," he assured me smiling widely (which was very rare for him), "I don't like this anymore than you do. But c'mon, we're the Hale Twins! We'll get through this."
I gave a short chuckle, "You're right. How about next town we move into to, we'll go by the Whitlock Twins?"
"Nah… I like your last name better," he smiled.
I returned the smile.
I was grateful for a brother like Jasper, he was very understanding.
"C'mon we should go back to the house. Alice, said there's going to be a storm coming. Which means we can play baseball," he told me.
"Okay," I said.
We started walking back towards the direction of the house.
"But, I'm batting first!" I exclaimed with a smile, "Race you to the house!"
I broke into a sprint, pushing him as hard as I could, causing him to stagger a few steps.
"Cheater!" I heard him yell behind me.
