Bella woke up to the sun shining into her room, it was later than she was used to waking up. The weight on her chest was welcome, and she purred happily at the blonde hair sprawled across her.

"You stayed."

"Always." The blonde grinned, propping her chin up on her hand. "Good morning sleepyhead."

"Mm good morning." Bella tangled her hand in Rosalie's hair, bringing the woman in for a gentle kiss. "Do we really have to go to school?"

Rosalie laughed, already rolling out of bed. "Yes we do, because you have already missed a week." She threw a pillow at the brunette, laughing harder as it connected with Bella's face. "If you go shower, I'll make you breakfast." Bella perked up at that, quickly tossing the blankets off of her body and heading into her bathroom.

Bella came into the kitchen and grinned. Rosalie was standing over the stove wearing skinny jeans that appeared to have been painted on, and what was obviously one of Bella's button ups. "That's a nice shirt love, where'd you get it?"

"Oh, just this store… It's called Bella's closet, has a lot of sports clothes, and suits." Rosalie slid a plate in front of Bella, piled with bacon, eggs, fresh fruit and toast. "You just missed Gavin by the way, left saying something about plausible deniability."

Bella shook her head at that. "Ignore him, he's a dork. This is amazing by the way, I thought you guys couldn't eat."

"We can't but Esme organized a culinary tour years ago… Everyone in the family can cook, but Emmett tends to do more experimental things, I wouldn't trust anything he makes unless you watched every step."

"Noted." Bella stood and pulled the blonde closer to her, depositing a kiss on her temple. "You sure we have to go?"

"Yes. Positive." She slipped into Bella's lap, pulling her phone out. "Alice says to hurry or we're going to be late." Bella pouted as Rosalie stood up, heading to the door. "Are we taking the car from yesterday?"

Bella grinned, eyeing a keychain hanging at the door. "No, no we're not."

They pulled into the lot, with a few minutes to spare, Rosalie was perched on the back of Bella's streetbike, arms wound tightly around the brunette's waist. The bike purred quietly as she pulled into a spot next to Edward's Volvo.

Bella allowed Rosalie to stop off the bike before flicking the kickstand down and stepping off herself. Bella stepped closer and brushed a kiss across Rosalie's forehead after they pulled their helmets off. "I'll see you at lunch?"

Rosalie smiled and nodded, waving goodbye she followed Jasper into the school. Bella sighed, watching her mate laugh at something her twin had said. She stood there until the warning bell rang, then practically sprinted across campus to meet her brother for class. Her brother eyed her suspiciously as she flew into her seat.

"Late night?" He smirked watching her pull out the wrong textbook three times, finally hauling the old Shakespeare text out of her bag. Bella looked over at the grinning boy, and glared, throwing an eraser right in between his eyebrows. "Jesus, why are you like this?"

"Why are you so goddamn annoying?" Bella snickered as her brother rubbed the red mark on his forehead.

"You didn't have to bean me in the head." He grumbled, scowling down at his novel.

Bella's day drug on, and she sat through her classes hoping they would end sooner than they actually did. The bell for lunch rang and as Bella stepped out into the hallway a pale arm slid around hers, securing Alice's body to the much taller girls.

"Good morning Bella! Will Gavin be coming over with you tonight?" The pixie grinned up at Bella, relaxing against her side.

"I'm not sure Alice… I didn't even know I was coming over." Alice tapped her temple and laughed. "I'll see if I can convince him, Emmett wanted to play video games didn't he?"

"Yes he did. By the way, she's going to love it." Alice whispers into the taller girl's ear as she drug her into the cafeteria. Bella raised an eyebrow at the pixie, following her into the line for food, completely missing the whispers being thrown around the room. The two gathered food and Bella slid into a seat in between her brother and Angela, Alice dropping into her lap a moment later.

"Wow Bella, you're really getting close with the Cullens aren't you." Lauren sneered across the table, glaring at the pixie who was focused on her phone.

"Yeah, I guess. We're friends." Alice gave a small trill of laughter. Glancing up at Bella's face, noting the scowl she tilted her phone towards the brunette, showing various texts between Rosalie and herself.

"Did she threaten to burn…" Bella squinted at the phone before laughing. "You custom order hats Alice? What the hell." Alice scowled, smacking Bella's shoulder.

"I'm sure whatever is going on here is riveting, however, can I steal Bella away please?" Bella glanced up, noting the dumb founded looks on the rest of the table's occupant's faces. In front of her stood Rosalie, balancing on thin heels. The boys sitting around the table gaped at the amount of buttons on her shirt undone, and consequently the cleavage on display.

"Wow Rose, that's a nice shirt… Where'd you get it?" Alice grinned mischievously up at the blonde, the taller girl scowling back down.

"A small boutique I found, l'armadio di Bella." Bella snorted, noting the looks shared around the table.

"Oh that's so neat! I think I've heard of that! isn't it like... Super boujee?" Jessica piped up, Lauren tossing in a small "Yeah." Across the cafeteria they heard peals of laughter coming from the Cullen's usual table.

Rosalie chose to ignore the girls sitting at the table, and instead focused on the pixie and brunette pair directly in front of her. Finally, Bella shifted Alice out of her lap and onto the bench beside her. She stood and silently offered her hand to the blonde, allowing her to lead them away.

Rosalie pulled them into the library, tugging Bella behind the tall stacks. She wrapped her arms around the taller girl's neck, she leant against Bella, pressing her forehead against her collarbone.

Bella wrapped her arms around the shorter girl, holding her tightly. "You okay love?" She felt Rosalie nod against her chest and hummed quietly. "Just a few more classes and we can go to your place and watch some mind numbing tv… Sound good?"

"Sounds great." Rosalie leaned up, brushing her lips across the brunettes, causing the taller girl to groan. Bella twisted them, so Rosalie's back was against the books, pressing her lips more firmly against the shorter girls. Rosalie wrapped one leg around Bella's waist, pulling their hips together tightly, groaning when she felt Bella press against her. The brunette ground against the blonde, causing her to throw her head back against the stacks, allowing Bella to attack her neck. Rosalie dug her nails into the back of Bella's neck, drawing in unnecessary gasps of air. "Bella… Bella… Bella, we need to stop." Bella groaned, pressing her nose against Rosalie's neck as the bell rang. Rosalie carded her fingers through Bella's hair, laughing at the pitiful groan the girl gave.

"God the end of the day can't come fast enough."

"Go to class, I'll meet you at the bike later?" Bella nodded and watched the blonde walk away from her, hips swaying a little too much to be natural.

Several mind numbing hours later, Bella left her last class of the day, and headed to her locker. She dumped all her unnecessary books and grabbed the ones she'd need for homework. When she left the building, she spotted Rosalie across the parking lot standing by her bike, squinting at something. She headed across the lot, greeting the blonde she handed her a helmet and the two hopped on the bike and headed towards the Cullen residence.

Bella pulled into the long gravel driveway carefully, the last thing she needed was to total her bike in front of her mate. She maneuvered it up the driveway and into a spot in front of the garage. Rosalie handed Bella her helmet, shook her hair out, and led the brunette inside. "Mom? I'm home, I brought a guest."

Esme came around the corner, frowning slightly, Rosalie never brought anyone home. Her face lit up when she saw the nervous looking brunette standing in her living room. "Oh! Bella! Lovely to see you dear, come here!" Esme pulled the much taller girl into a tight hug, grinning when she felt it being returned. "You two have fun, be safe." She winked at the blonde and sent the two on their way. Rosalie tugged Bella up the stairs and into her room, gently pushing the brunette into a chair she stood in front of her suddenly nervous.

"You okay Rose?" Bella wrapped her arms around Rosalie's waist, bringing her slightly closer.

"Who's Bridget?" Rosalie watched Bella's face fall and immediately felt guilty. "You don't have to answer that, forget I asked. I just noticed your bike had Bridget written on it." Bella swallowed hard, then the words were spilling out of her mouth, no amount of will power would have been able to stop them. When she was done speaking, and the tears were beginning to dry on her cheeks Rosalie carded her fingers through long brunette hair, pulling her mates cheek against her stomach, offering silent support.

"I've never told anyone other than Emmett about what happened to me. I have always let Edward explain. The thing is Edward can't read emotions from thoughts. So no one has any idea what it was really like." Then Rosalie was sitting sideways on Bella's lap, allowing her thoughts and emotions to spill across her lips. Ever word lifting a weight off her. Bella rubbed soothing circles on the back of her mate's hand.

After a while Rosalie finally spoke, voice barely above a whisper. "I'm glad I met you."

"I'm glad I met you too." Bella sat there, holding Rosalie, allowing the blonde to tuck her head under Bella's chin. "I suppose we should do our homework huh?" Rosalie laughed loudly at that, her body shaking against the brunettes.

"Oh Bella, I haven't done homework in years, I just print off my assignments whenever I need them." Bella pouted at that.

"Can you help me then?" Rosalie laughed and kissed the brunette's temple. "Please?" Rosalie's heart clenched at the adorable pout covering her mate's face.

"Of course I will, now come on, the sooner we get this done, the sooner I can have you all to myself." Rosalie's wink caused a blush to spread across her mate's face and she grinned, spinning the taller girl's chair around so she was facing Rosalie's desk.

"You suck…" Bella whined pitifully, forehead falling against the desk with an audible thud.

"Only if you ask me nicely." Rosalie's deadpan caused Bella to choke on air, thumping a fist against her chest, waving off the blonde's concerned glance.

"I'm fine!" Bella's blush was just receding and a tense quiet had fallen over the two girls when the brunette's phone started blaring. "Shit." Bella jumped, tossing her phone in the air. In a show of extreme athleticism and clumsiness Bella lurched forward, snatching her phone mid air, and slamming her face against the heavy wood frame of Rosalie's bed.

The blonde let out a sympathetic wince as she heard Bella's nose crunch against the bed. "Shit, Bella?" Rosalie had the brunette up and back in the desk chair, in a flash she had disappeared into the bathroom and came back with a towel. "Stay still please." She gently pressed the cloth against Bella's nose, sopping up the blood. "Was the phone even worth it?" Rosalie laughed gently at the glare the brunette tried to give her.

"It was my mom." Bella's voice was thick, coated in pain and muffled by the cloth. "She wants me to come home." Rosalie leaned forward, pressing a gentle kiss to the bridge of Bella's nose, which was swelling at an alarming rate.

"Let Carlisle check on your nose first? Please?" Bella nodded, following a still concerned Rosalie to Carlisle's office. Rosalie knocked sharply on the heavy oak door, earning a soft "Enter." from inside.

"Carlisle, Bella had a bit of an accident earlier, would you mind checking her out for me?" Carlisle frowned at the blonde, silently asking what happened. "If you must know, Bella got startled by her phone and slammed into my bed, I'm fairly certain it's broken."

Carlisle gestured to the desk, encouraging Bella to sit on it. Once she leant back, Carlisle removed the cloth and frowned. "It's already starting to set, fortunately it appears to be setting just fine. I'm assuming you have accelerated healing?" At Bella's nod he prods the nose gently some more. "Just take some painkillers and you should be fine soon." He smiled softly at the tall brunette, sending the pair on their way.

Rosalie led Bella down to the entrance and out to her bike. She shyly wrapped her arms around herself, warding off the chill she'd never feel. "I'll see you tomorrow?"

Bella stepped closer, into Rosalie's space, and wrapped her warm body around the blondes. "Of course, I'll pick you up for school?" The shorter girl nodded, tilting her head up she brushed her lips across the brunettes.

"Bye Bella." Rosalie retreated into the house, swaying her hips slightly.

"Fucking hell." Bella rubbed a hand over her face, sighing. "She's gonna kill me." She hopped on her bike and headed across town to the house on the hill.

When Bella arrived home her family was sat in the formal living room, her parents huddled together on the couch holding hands. Gavin was sitting in the chair facing the lit fireplace, finger steepled, with the flames casting terrible shadows across his face. "Isabella, I think you should sit down for this." When they told her the news she collapsed back into her chair, anguished sobs escaping her mouth, chest heaving violently. They sat there, not talking, and unmoving until the early rays of dawn covered the horizon.
