The penultimate drabble!!

I was asked to do this one. I was planning on it already, but there you go! This is how I see Rosalie, by the way. I don't think she's nearly as much of a heartless bitch as some people seem to think. IMHO.

Also, exciting news-- the wonderful Nouni has offered to translate my drabbles to french!! I'm a little in shock at the moment, but speechless is something I just don't really do. You may have noticed. xP

A lot of you said that yesterday's drabble was the best ever (Thanks, by the way!) but I really like this one. Just a heads up. :)

My goal now, I think, would be 1800 reviews for the whole series. That would be incredible. Honestly. Are you up to the challenge??

Date: 18th March

Character: Rosalie

Stimulus: Silence

"Edward?" My voice shakes. I almost hope that he doesn't answer, but he does.

"Rosalie. What is it?"

"Edward, I…" How do you tell someone this?

"Rosalie. Where is Alice?"

"That's what I'm…"

"WHERE IS ALICE?!"

Silence. It's awkward and painful, and I wish I could say something that wouldn't break his heart.

"ROSALIE!"

"She's… she's in Forks."

"Forks. Forks? Why would she be there? I told her…"

"I know what you told her, Edward, but things have changed. Bella…" He's instantly alert, at the sound of her name. He knows something is wrong.

"What is it, Rosalie? Tell me, or so help me, I'll…"

"Bella's dead, Edward. She's dead."

Silence. Then the phone explodes. "What? No! I… I made sure! I left! NO!" He sounds so vulnerable. So… so damn broken.

"I'm sorry." I've started now, and I can't seem to stop. If I were human, I'd be in tears. "Alice saw, but she didn't get there in time. It was a snap decision, Edward… Bella jumped off a cliff. I'm so sorry…"

Silence.

Then, "People jump off cliffs all the time, Rosalie. Esme did. She survived."

"Her future disappeared. I'm sorry, Edward. You shouldn't have found out this way." I'm babbling now, I can't shut myself up. "I know I never really liked her…but no-one deserves this. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Silence.

"Edward? Say something… please."

Silence.

"Edward?"

Silence.

"Edward, you're scaring me… Please say something…"

Silence.

"Edward? Are you there?"

Beep.
