This was supposed to be an o/s from a Facebook post by Alycia Northrup. It won't be a long story, though maybe another chapter or two. Hope you enjoy it!
BELLA
What am I going to do? I've only been here a week, and the only job I could find in this God forsaken town is at Newton Outfitters.
If I have to look in the face of the creepy Mike Newton one more day, I swear to GOD, I'm going to scream. He thinks he such a hot-shot. I can't imagine what all the girls see in him. From what I hear, he's been with just about every girl in school. Maybe he has a golden dick or something because I swear he smells like day old soup.
And swear the douche doesn't understand the meaning of no. How many times is am I going to have to shoot him down before he gets it.
When I got in the locker room at school today, I found Angela Weber in the stall balling her eyes out. She's been the only one who's been somewhat nice to me since I've gotten here. I mean yeah, Jessica has been sort of sweet too, but it all seems fake coming from her.
I don't like to be the center of attention, so when all the guys were hovering over the 'new toy' being me, at school, Angela was there to help me through it. I know she's probably just a good girl and all being the minister daughter, but still, it was nice of her to kind of look out for me
"Hey, Ange, umm are you okay?" I say as she finally comes out of the stall with her eyes all red and puffy. Duh! Bella! Of course, she's not okay. Hint, hint ball of tears.
"It's nothing, Bella. I'll be okay," she says between sniffles.
"Are you sure, it sure doesn't look like nothing if it's got you in tears," I tell her putting my arm around her. As we sit there, I see all of the other girls pointing and snickering.
"I'm sure, come on, let's get to gym class before we're late," Angela says. I finish tying up my sneakers, and we head out of the locker room and into the gym.
Once out in the gym. I see the creep Mike Newton standing around the gym with Tyler Crowley, Ben Chaney, Eric Yorkie and some of the other guys he hangs out with. They watch us as we come out of the locker room and I know somethings up. They too all start laughing and pointing, except Ben. He looks like he's uncomfortable with the whole thing.
I look to the other side of the gym, and I see the Cullen kids in a huddle as usual. The big one, Emmett is looking at Mike like he wants to rip his head off. I see the blonde guy, Jasper looks like he's trying to hold him back from doing just that. But I turn my attention back to Angie, as she looks like she just wants to crawl in a hole and die.
Then, Tyler comes over and tries to cop a feel on Angela's ass. She flinches and moves away.
"Don't touch me!" she hisses.
"Aw, come on Ange. You didn't seem to mind Mike getting all up in that. What say you and me this weekend?" He gives her that dirty suggestive head bob and starts licking his lips. That sends Angela into a whole new set of tears, and she runs back into the locker room.
"Hey come on Ange. I promise to make it good," Tyler says with a snicker. I turn up my lip in disgust and push him, before running off to see about Angela.
I find her back in the same stall crying even harder than when I first saw her.
"Angela, what's that all about out there," I asked through the door.
"Bella, I swear. I'm not like that. The only thing I did was went to the movies with him. And I only went because I thought Ben was going to be there. Now, I've got no chance at all with Ben because Mike Newton told them all that I gave it up in the back seat of his car. I swear Bella we didn't. I'm still a virgin for Christ's sake." She says between tears and snots.
"Come on, Angie, open up, let me come in," I ask her.
She finally unlatches the toilet stall, and I go in to find her face again all red and puffy, sitting on the toilet with the lid down. I immediately wrap her up in my arms.
"I believe you, Angela. Hey, hey, come on. First of all, I don't think Ben Chaney believed a word of it. He looked so uncomfortable standing there with the other guys. And if he's really the guy for you, he'll see you for what you are. You're sweet and kind, and you have a good heart. Do you want me to go out there and punch creepy Mike in his junk for ya?" That brings a guffaw that sounds like a grunt through her sobs.
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up," I tell her as I walk her over to the sink and wet some paper towels with cold water to wipe her face.
"So, what's up with that Cullen kid, the big muscle bound one? He looks like he was ready to rip Mikes head off. If it wasn't for the blond one that looks like he's being tortured, I think he may have.
"Oh, Mike claims Emmett's girlfriend, Rosalie was last week's conquest. She hasn't been back to school since. You haven't met her yet. She couldn't take it and left school. I really don't get that though. I mean Bella you should see her. She looks like a fashion model. There's no way she would be with a guy like Mike. Especially when she has somebody like Emmett. You should see them together. And I always thought her tougher than that. She always came off as this ice queen.
"Anyway, I'm pretty sure now that he just started a rumor about her just like he did me. I just wish I could talk to her. But you know, they only keep to themselves. They don't talk to anybody," she tells me. I walk over to the soda machine and get her a drink. After all that crying, I'm sure she's thirsty and probably needs the sugar.
EMMETT
When that creep Mike Newton started the rumor about my sister, I wanted to stomp a hole in his ass. Sure, everyone thinks Rosie and me are a couple. I just let them believe that to keep her protected.
When Rosie found me all those years ago and had Carlisle change me, sure I thought I had a shot with her. But then I heard her story. She was skittish around men now, and who could blame her. After being raped, beaten and left for dead by her fiancé, who could blame her.
When I asked her why she wanted to save me, she told me I reminded her of her cousin Vera's baby and that she couldn't let me die. I owe Rosalie my life, and I will always be there to protect her. No matter what.
After Mike Newton started the rumor, she went back into her shell. Over the years I had sort of built up her confidence. She was now able to put on her tough exterior while we were in school, so everyone thought she was this tough Ice Queen, but I know the real Rosie. The Rosie who was more or less pimped out by her parents to marry the richest jerk in her hometown. The one that, again pimped her out to all of his jerk friends one night while drunk, hanging out on the street corner. He let them rape and beat her within an inch of her life. I swear, I wish that bastard was still alive. I just want to dig up his worthless carcass and kill him again. That was the only thing Rosalie had the guts to do. She got her revenge. After that, she felt like she had nothing else to live for until I came along.
Now, I see that creep Mike has moved on to his next conquest. Sweet little Angela Weber. That girl would never hurt a fly. Edward says her thoughts are always so kind and pure. Jazz says the same thing about her emotions.
The only reason I haven't already killed that Newton creep is that I don't want the family to have to move again because of me. We like it here. We don't have to worry about the sun as much since it's always overcast and rainy. Our Mother, for all intent and purpose, Esmé, loves the house and is happy here.
And then, there's Bella.
There's something about that girl that makes my dead heart want to jump out of my chest. I had Edward to try and read her thoughts, but he says he can't. She's silent to him. Jazz says her emotions are so crystal clear as if he's reading a vampire, not a human. But there isn't an ounce of fear for us like most humans. He says what he's getting from her is mostly curiosity, admiration and a bit of lust.
The one thing about Jazz's gift, he can read the emotion, but can't always interpret what it means. Who's she lusting for?
Well, there's more than lust from me when it comes to Bella Swan, I think I love her. But, of course, It's not like I can do anything about it. Everyone thinks Rosalie and I are together. I can't go blowing our cover now.
BELLA
My first week at Newton's Outfitters is okay. I haven't seen Mike around much. His mom says he mostly only works on weekends when he doesn't have a football or baseball game. Of course, he would be the school jock. Aren't all the creeps and jerks. I only work after school three days a week and all day on Saturdays. It's not much, but I make enough to buy clothes, school supplies and put a little away for college.
Charlie, my dad, tells me he does have a college fund put away for me. He says he wishes I wouldn't work and just enjoy my final days of high school. But I've been doing this since I was ten-years-old. My mom Renée wasn't exactly the most responsible mom. She is sort of flighty. She'll forget to pay bills, and then most of her money goes to the next hairbrained idea that catches her fancy for the month before she gives that up and is on to the next.
Saturday comes around, and I have to work with Mike the creep. His parents have gone away for the weekend and left him in charge.
He follows me around the store like a fucking puppy dog when he's not goofing off at the registers and talking with his boys on the phone. So, I'm left doing all the stocking and assisting customers.
By the time I get home from work at five that evening, I'm tired and mad as hell. All I want to do is take a long hot bath and crawl in my bed. Thank God Charlie is gone for the weekend fishing with his buddies from the rez. God forbid if I had to cook for him tonight. I'd have to tell him to just order a pizza.
Tomorrow, I'm going to sleep till noon, finish my housework and get ready for school on Monday.
ROSALIE
I haven't left the house since Mike Newton started that rumor about me. I mean, of course, I know it's not true. He's a human for God's sake. I'd more eat him, than fuck him. But since I've never even tasted human blood, even that's out.
God, why couldn't Carlisle just leave me on the street and let me die? I know I shouldn't let this bother me, but it does. So now, while everyone else is gone to school, I'm left here to wallow in my own self-pity.
At least once the school year is over, Emmett and I can go off on our pretend honeymoon and I never have to set foot back in that school again.
Why does that little pixie always do this? It's not like I don't know she is hovering outside my door.
"What is it Alice?" damn is school out already. She comes bouncing into my room like a hyper fucking rubber ball.
"I just wanted to know if you want to go hunting with me?" I just roll my eyes. Why does she insist on asking these stupid questions when she already knows the answer?
"Because I want to be polite and give you the option to change my visions. And besides today's Saturday, silly. I just came back from shopping," she says with her annoying giggles. I just throw my duvet off and slip on my shoes.
"Ready, lead the way pixie." She opens the window to my room and jumps to the tree just outside before leaping to the ground. She waits until I join her, and then we take off through the woods.
This is one of the things I do enjoy about being a vampire. Running free, the wind in my hair without a care in the world. We don't stop running until we make it across the Canadian border.
Alice takes down a few elk, and I spot a couple of mountain lion and take them down. Once our meal is finished, and we've buried the remains, we strip down and go swimming in a nearby stream.
"Rose, I know you've been really down since the whole Mike Newton incident, but I really think you need to come back to school on Monday," the pixie tells me. I knew she had an ulterior motive for asking me on this hunt.
"And just why would I do that, Alice?"
"Well for one, what Mike said about you is all forgotten about. He's moved on to the next girl to humiliate." Great. Some new unsuspecting victim.
"And even she's going to be forgotten about by next week. Just come back, for me, please. I promise it will be worth your while," she says with her all-knowing smirk.
"Okay, Okay. Even I know not to bet against the all-knowing pixie," I say with a giggle.
"Rosalie, what are you going to do if Emmett ever finds his mate? Or you for that matter?" Alice asks me, but this time she doesn't meet my eyes.
"Why, what do you know? Have you seen something?"
"You know how my visions work, Rose. Any decision can change the future. I just want to make sure you understand this is a possibility."
"Well, yeah, I know it's a possibility. But also, how likely is that. I mean, we don't really socialize with other vampires, other than the Denali's and Jasper's brother, Peter and his wife." What are you saying, some nomad is going to come and take Emmett away?" Alice shakes her head frantically.
"No, no, nothing like that." But then I can tell, she's really trying hard not to say something, because again she can't meet my eyes.
"What if it's a human?" she briefly flashes her eyes up to me before lowering them again.
"Oh, well I guess that changes things. Then I guess I will have to embrace my new little sister then. Look, Alice, I know you're worried about me. Emmett always says I saved his life. When in reality, it's been the other way around. Emmett is my best friend and the brother I always wished I had. I want nothing for him but for him to be happy. I know, everyone knows how I feel about humans. I don't know why Carlisle insist that we all pretend to be human and live in the human world.
"I guess it would only make sense that Emmett would find his mate in a human. I just wish we didn't have to damn her into this existence. But if she is the one meant for him, I'm certainly not going to stand in his way." The pixie then surprises me, and that in itself is a feat, being I'm a vampire, and it's pretty much impossible to surprise us. She launches herself out of the water and hugs me in a bear hug almost as tight as Emmett.
"I love you, sissy," she says as she clings her naked body to mine.
"As sweet as this is, pixie. Especially since I haven't had sex in over eighty years, I don't swing that way," I tell her jokingly. She laughs and splashes me with water. Soon, we're having a water fight.
"Glad to see you're out of your funk," I hear the deep familiar voice coming from out of the trees.
"Jazz, man, looks like you got some competition with your wife there," Emmett says as he and Jasper saunter towards the stream. Alice and I are just treading water as they stand there looking at us. Alice gives me a sly wink that she's seen what I have planned. And without missing a beat, we push as hard as we can, and it looks like half the river is coming towards our idiot brothers. They are now standing there fully dressed, drenched from head to toe.
"RUN ROSE!" Alice squeals. And in the blink of an eye, both Jasper and Emmett have taken off their wet clothes and dove into the stream after us.
MONDAY MORNING
BELLA
As soon as I pull into the school parking lot, I get a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something's not right. This is going to be a really fucked up day.
The first thing I notice, once I get out of my truck, is Emmett Cullen is staring at me from across the parking lot next to his giant Jeep. Next to him is the most beautiful blonde woman I've ever seen. That must be his girlfriend Angela told me about. Angie's right. She could be a fashion model, and they look like they were made for each other. I see her whisper something in his ear, but Emmett never takes his eyes off me.
As I continue to make my way across the parking lot, I notice everyone is actually looking at me, though not like Emmett. The others are snickering, sneering and pointing. I duck my head as to not draw any more attention to myself.
My focus is on the ground so much, I walk straight into the school bitch and head cheerleader, Lauren Mallory.
"So, you're Mike's latest little tramp," Lauren says with a scowl on her face.
"Lauren, I really don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh really? Well, let me tell you something you little whore. You keep your mitts off my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Funny, Mike never mentioned he had a girlfriend. What exactly did Mike tell you about me?" I look around and see Mike and his friends huddled in next to his car in the parking lot.
"He told me how you practically threw yourself on him in the stockroom of Newton's. His parents were away this weekend, and you two were the only ones working in the store." I just looked at her, unmoving. I wouldn't let her know she's rattled me at all.
"Of course, I did. I mean, everyone else in this school has their turn at him. I just had to know what was so special about him. I thought maybe he had a golden dick or something, with all the girls he claimed to have fucked. Turns out, his dick is so small it's the size of a pencil. And if you're his girlfriend, why is it that as soon as he got it in, he was coming and calling for his mommy. You'd think he'd be calling your name instead," Lauren was so stunned she was just standing there with her mouth open like a fish. Everyone else was laughing. Emmett was literally rolling on the ground, and his deep roaring laugh could be heard above everyone else. Rosalie was doubled over in laughter.
While Lauren was still standing there, trying to figure out what just happened. I walked around her and started marching straight over to Mike. He was beet red by the time I made it over to him, but that didn't matter to me. Because as soon as I reached him, I punched him right in his junk. Every boy in the parking lot was grabbing their junk and wincing. As his knee's buckled and he was about to hit the dirt, I punched him right in the nose.
"If you ever start another rumor about another girl in this school, the only girl you'll be thinking about is me, because there will be more where that came from." I suddenly wished I had just kept the punch at his limp noodle, because the pain that was shooting through my hand and wrist at the moment made me want to cry.
I turned clutching my hand and walked smack dab into Rosalie and Emmett. Emmett's face had a mixture of amusement and adoration. Rosalie's eyes were glistening with tears she was trying to hold back. But she immediately wrapped me up in her arms in a tight embrace that had me wincing in pain. Not just from my hurting arm, but from how hard and cold she was.
"Oh my God, Bella, your hand. Come on, we need to take you to get that looked at. Our dad is a doctor over at Forks Hospital. Let me and Emmett take you to get that checked out," Rosalie said. I just nodded my head, yes. She wrapped her cold hands around my wrist and hand and lead me to Emmett's Jeep.
"Don't worry, Alice and the others will let the school know what happened and that we've taken you to the hospital. She helped me into the backseat of the Jeep before climbing in beside me, while Emmett drove
And like that, Rosalie and Emmett Cullen became my new best friends.
