"Dude, what is it with you and the black eyeliner girl?" Emmett asked, as I walked towards him.
I shrugged. "I've no idea what you're talking about."
"Bullshit! That's twice, I've seen you drooling all over her."
"I wasn't drooling," I said, tossing the frisbee at his face. He caught it with ease and laughed at me.
Rose nodded. "I think you've still got a little bit of drool left on your chin. Right there," she said, pointing at me.
I playfully knocked her hand away. "I was being friendly. The girl looks lost, like she could use someone to talk to."
"Speaking of lost girls," Rose said, staring at her cell. "Ali texted, she said Jasper's cousin is being a nightmare. She's only been here one night and already came home drunk."
"I saw eyeliner girl hanging out with James last night. Do you think it could be her, she looked pretty wasted?" Emmett asked.
I frowned at that piece of news, before shaking my head. I didn't like the thought of her hanging around with James. "Nah, she told me her name was Maria. Didn't Jazz say his cousin's name was Bella or something like that?"
"Yeah, something like that," Emmett said, staring after Maria. "So, what's her story anyway?"
I shrugged. "I don't know. She said she's here looking after a sick aunt, but I didn't buy it."
"It could be Bella, you know. I've given plenty of fake names to guys over the years, just to get rid of them," Rose said, looking between the two of us.
"Which guys?" Emmett asked, scowling.
"Easy tiger," Rose smirked, patting his leg. "It was before you came along."
"Do you really think she could be lying?" I asked, glancing up to see if I could still see her. She was nothing more than a small silhouette now.
"There is only one way to find out," Rose said, grinning. "A little impromptu visit to Ali and Jasper's house."
"And what if it is her?" I asked, concerned.
"Then we don't tell Alice and Jasper," Emmett said, picking up a stone and tossing it into the sea. "They have enough to worry about. Perhaps we have a little talk with eyeliner girl ourselves and tell her to sort her shit out."
I sighed. I didn't think any amount of talking would get through to her, if she was indeed Bella. That girl was lost, angry, and bitter with the world. She needed to be reminded how to laugh and have fun. Talking just wasn't going to cut it.
