Bella.
Alice bounced impatiently as she sat on Jasper's lap. He reached up to her waist and paused her.
"What's taking them so long?" She growled, highly impatient. I looked over at the living room through the kitchen door before turning to face Carlisle again.
"Are you sure?" I asked, staring at him. He chuckled before embracing me.
"Of course I'm sure Elena. It would make me many times happier if you did." I nodded with a smile before walking with him into the living room. Jennesa stood up, standing beside me. I looked at all of the others before looking at Jen and sighing.
"What is it already, Elena? I can't take it anymore!" Alice pleaded standing up. Jen stifled a laugh and I smiled.
"Jen and I," I began, Alice's eyes growing slowly but surely. "Are going to stay here from now on." Everyone stared in silence for a minute before bursting out in shouts. They stood up and hugged us, still shouting.
"I can't believe it!" Esme said, hugging the both of us at once. "We have to decorate your rooms!" She squealed, like a little girl getting a priceless diamond necklace.
"We were going to leave that to you and Alice, since we know that you love decorating." Jennesa said, gaining bright smiles from Esme and Alice. A sound of an engine caught my ear, no more than 5 miles away. They sat down and began to talk about who's room should look like what when Rose walked towards me, placing her hand onto my shoulder.
"Can I speak with you?" She asked and I looked over at her before nodding. She led me up the stairs to her bedroom, which had a clear view of the front of the house.
"What is it Rose?" I asked, sitting on small leather love seat which sat against the window. She walked over to gaze outside and after a few minutes, the sound of loud engine came closer, shutting off in front of the house. I looked over my shoulder and glanced at the girl climbing out of an orange truck. Her skin was very pale, the veins clearly visible to me, and her brown hair fell down, stopping at the end of her shoulder blades. Since Rose had a window open, her sweet human scent blew in with the wind. "Oh," I muttered. "So that is Edward's singer." Rosalie looked over at me and nodded.
"She wants to become a vampire." She whispered, venom dripping with every word.
"And? What's wrong with that?" I asked, fixing my body so that I was facing my cousin fully. She glanced at me before sighing heavily.
"Don't you see, Elena? She has a chance at everything we ever wanted. Having children, growing old, being able to someday watch as our grandchildren grow." She explained, sitting beside me. I stared at her for a moment before shaking my head, a low sigh escaping my pink colored lips.
"No, Rose, she has a chance at everything you wanted. As for me, I always wanted to become what I now am. I wanted immortality. It was the only way that I could be with..." My voice stammered, but I managed to push the words out. "With Father and Uncle." She stared at me as if I had just ripped one of her favorite blouses.
"Haven't you ever wanted to get married and have children?" She asked in harsh whisper. I shook my head lazily and she growled.
"I am glad with my choice, Rosalie. I'm glad that I hadn't decided to stay human." I said, grabbing her hand and squeezing it lightly. She looked down for a moment before snapping her head up, a clever smile on her lips.
"You can change her mind!" She whispered excitedly. My eyes widened as she grabbed my hand into hers and lifted it. "You have the greatest ability out of all of us! Change her mind! Keep her from making such a horrible mistake." I stared at her, now the one in shock.
"Think about what you are saying, Rosalie." I muttered harshly, causing her eyes to widen at my unusual anger. "Edward is happy with her and by what I can tell, she is happy with him too. Why would you want to change that? And my abilities aren't always assured. If I try to change her perspective on becoming a vampire, I might change her perspective on vampires entirely, but most of all, her thoughts of Edward. They can instantly change from those of love, comfort, and happiness, to those of scorn, distress, and terror. How do you think he would feel after he sees the terror-struck expression of the one he loves?
"I understand, you want her to be able to do all of the things that you could not do, but dearest cousin, this decision is up to the girl and Edward. If not for the fact that Edward is what he is, I would say that this is 'Romeo and Juliet' performed on its greatest stage. Two star-crossed lovers willing to do anything for one another, even if it means giving up life and starting another just to be with the one you love. I will not change her thoughts. I wouldn't be able to even I had wanted to. You can remember that Edward was once my singer, and that I want nothing more than his happiness. If he finds it in this girl, then I couldn't be any more over-joyed. You should feel the same Rose." A knock at the door ended my short monolog and Rose and I looked over at the door.
"Come in." Rose said. The door opened and Edward walked in, followed by the human girl. His face seemed to hold a mixture of both anger and calmness, causing a smile to spread across my face.
"You must be Bella." I said standing and walking towards her. She stared at me for a while before nodding her head in a timid reply. "Don't be shy now love, I won't bite." I chuckled and she smiled. "At least not now." I finished and her smile disappeared. I laughed before appearing beside her, my arm over her shoulders. "I'm just kidding, dear Bella. I wouldn't harm someone so important to my family." I said and she looked at me before smiling again. "Oh yes. My name is Elena Eneas and I'll be staying with my family from now on."
"Elena!" I practically jumped at Emmett's loud call. I turned and looked over my shoulder, finding Emmett at the door. "There you are! Jen just challenged me to a football game, you in?" He asked and I smirked slightly.
"Football, eh? You know I beat you every time in that game." I said, turning and walking towards him.
"Nope, not this time. I am going to kick your ass!" He shouted and Rose shook her head.
"No, I'm pretty sure she's going to win again." She said, sucking her teeth. Emmett looked over me to where she was and lifted his hands.
"C'mon, babe! Way to be supportive!" He stuck out his thumbs and I laughed.
"Say Rose, why don't we play against him and," My eyes scanned the room in thought, stopping at Edward. "Him and Edward. Whoever wins gets..." The last word dragged on. Emmett smirked.
"Whoever wins gets a new car from the losers! Whichever one they choose!" Rose and I sent each other a smile before looking at Edward.
"You in?" I asked, leaning against Bella. He looked at the four of us before smirking at Emmett.
"And miss the chance of getting a new car?" He said, gaining a cheer from Emmett, who walked over to him and gave him a high five.
"The brothers against the cousins." He said excitedly. "Oh and Babe, you already know what I want." He kissed her cheek before walking out of their room. "WOOOH! I'm getting me a Hummer!" He shouted, already downstairs.
