AN: So, this update is a bit late, considering how fast I've been updating this story… I actually got out of the house today. (I know, I'm shocked too. xD) I got my school schedule, and I'm less than pleased. Hahaha. I have sixe classes a semester, as opposed to the usual four. D:

So, more work for me. Meaning that my updates will be less frequent during the school year. Oh well. I still have two more weeks of summer, so you'll probably get updates most of the next two weeks.

Anyways, thanks to all that have been reviewing. It means the world to me, really. Most of your reviews make me laugh out loud, and I try to reply personally to as many as possible.

Also, I have this AWESOME new idea in my head for another story. It'll probably be short… But whatever. I'm going to start working on it soon. ;)

At the sound of Rosalie's sharp comment, I lowered my gaze to my feet. Rose walked further into the apartment and sat down at the table where Alice and I had eaten our breakfast.

"Rose, stop being such a cunt and get the fuck out of my house. If you're going to disrespect Bella, I want nothing to do with you," Alice snapped at her, "You may have my brother wrapped around your boney little finger, but I know better. Now get the fuck out!"

I looked up at Alice and my jaw dropped. I'd never heard her talk like that to anyone. Rosalie must've been as shocked as I was because her jaw dropped as well. "What? Alice, stop being retarded and just help me," Rose said softly.

Alice pointed to the door, her eyes practically glowing with her fury. "Get out now, before I kick you in the uterus and kill the only thing that gives you the right to have any of my brother's money," she said.

Rosalie stood up and walked to the door, turning around to face us. "Believe it or not, your stupid brother loves me," Rose purred at Alice, "And he's a better fuck than you ever were." With that, she walked out the door, slamming it behind her.

I looked at Alice again and walked over to her. She automatically wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face into my neck. "Shhh… It's okay," I whispered as I rubbed her back, "I'm here. You're safe."

Alice lifted her head and looked me in the eyes. "Bella, don't listen to her. You're gorgeous," she said, pressing her lips against mine. "You're perfect and… I… I love you," she added in a whisper.

My heart swelled in my chest and I smiled. "I love you too, Al. I'll always love you."

She smiled and kissed me deeply on the lips, her fingers locking into my dark hair. I pressed my body against hers eagerly, needing friction between my thighs. Alice broke the kiss and smirked at me.

"Let's get out of here," she said quickly, grabbing her jacket. "I don't want to be reminded of Rosalie right now. You are my future and I want to show you off to the world."

I rolled my eyes playfully and followed her out of the apartment. We walked down to her yellow Porsche, hand in hand. Some people stared at us, but I didn't really care. I only had eyes for the gothic-pixie at my side.

We got in the car and Alice started the engine, and then began to play with the stereo. After settling on a rock station, she began to drive down the road. Her hand rested on my thigh, stroking it slowly.

"What did you mean before about ruining any chance that Rosalie would have in getting to Emmett's money. Is he rich or something?" I asked curiously.

Alice nodded and took a deep breath. "Emmett, like myself, has a direct link to the Cullen family bank accounts. I'm not sure exactly how much money we have, but it's enough for all of us to live comfortable lives and never have to work," she explained, "Emmett doesn't think that the kid Rose is carrying is his. He's not the smartest guy around, but he has a lot of common sense. Also, because he's older than me, he gets most of the inheritance from our parents when they die. This, in turn, would be passed onto his children."

I nodded and placed my hand over hers, wanting her to continue.

"Even though Rose and Emmett aren't married, the money would still go to the child, meaning that Rosalie would have full access to everything: bank accounts, credit cards, investments… You name it," she continued.

"But… If Emmett doesn't think that the child is his, couldn't he just write in his will that he would rather have the money go to someone else?" I asked.

"Yeah, I suppose he could, but Rosalie has Emmett wrapped around her finger. He loves her very much, though I have no idea why, so he puts up with all of her indiscretions, no matter how bad they are, or how bad they make him look. I'm pretty sure that once this kid is born, Rose is going to just send it away somewhere and drain Emmett's bank account."

I nodded slowly and looked down at our hands. "Why didn't she just do all of this with you?" I asked.

Alice looked at me and smirked. "I can't give her a child. I'm a girl, remember? Also, Emmett will get more than I do when my parents pass away. She used me to get into my brother's pants, even though everyone knows that she fucks Emmett's best friend more often than she fucks Emmett."

"That's the other guy in that picture, right?"

Alice nodded and looked back to the road. "His name is James," she said through her teeth, "I hate that little leech."

"Why? What did he do to you?" I pressed, curious about her obvious hatred for him.

I saw a single tear form at the corner of Alice's eye, then roll down. I resisted the urge to dab it away.

"James has always been a little shit, even when we were kids. When I turned sixteen, and I started to go through puberty… James took an interest in me. He raped me at my seventeenth birthday party."

AN: Short chapter, I know. Don't go givin' me shit about it. xD But I felt that it needed to end there. It's… dramatic. Hahaha.

I'll probably write the next chapter after I post this one, just because I have the whole conversation playing out in my mind right now.

Review, or they'll get into a car accident. ;)
