Selfish

Bella P.O.V

Alice and I walked to the back yard. Jasper and Emmett were practicing while Edward and Jacob were wrestling. I wanted to smile at how childish they both looked but I didn't because of the situation we were at.

"Guys!" I call their attention since Alice has lost the capability of speaking. "Guys, something happened!"

They all look at us with a confused expression. "What happened?" Emmett asks, walking toward us. Jasper, Jacob and Edward right behind him. "Where's Rose?"

"She..." I sigh, looking at Alice. She nods. "She's being taken to the Police station, she was caught shoplifting."

"What?" They all say at the same time. Emmett steps forward and says, "That can't be true, Rosalie would never do something like that. Why would she?"

"They found it in her purse," Alice says, crossing her arms. "They looked and three silver bracelets were in her purse." She sighs, running her hands through her hair. "Look, I don't know what to believe, neither Bella or I saw nothing."

Jasper shakes his head. "God, Dad is going to be pissed," he sighs. "I gotta go see her, see what happens."

"I'll go with you," Emmett says. "I'll call you guys to let you know what happens." They both run to the from yard, leaving us behind.

I let a small smirk out before putting my concerned face back, again. Alice sighs, walking back inside. Edward and Jacob are silent. I look at them and say, "I'm very sorry about Rosalie."

"It's alright, it's just hard to believe," Edward says. "Rosalie doesn't have the need to shoplift, she has everything. Her dad is the god damn sheriff! For fucks sake!" He runs his hands though his hair.

I walk up to him, pulling his hands down. "It's gonna be alright," I say. "I don't know, probably some little kid playing around."

He sighs. "Probably. You didn't see anything?" He asks.

I shake my head. "Not a thing," I say, rubbing his knuckles with my thumbs. "Everything is going to be alright," I assure him.

"Ahem," Jacob interrupts. "I think we should go see them, see what happens."

"No," I say, stepping away from Edward. "I don't think Rosalie wants everyone there thinking she attempted she shoplift. I think having Emmett and her family there is enough."

Edward nods. "Yeah, let's not crowd her right now." He looks at me and adds, "Are you hungry?"

I smile. "Very."

We eat the snacks we got. Sadly, Alice wasn't in a talking mood after what happened. I would feel bad for Rosalie, but she brought it out on herself. By this time, probably the whole town knows. It's a very small town, news spread out like fire. I wonder what Carlisle and Esme will think of little Rose now?

I'm taken out of my thoughts when I see Edward and Jacob throwing food at each other. They're such little kids. They're both laughing, throwing chips and dogging the food the others throw. I wonder how long have they've been friends, how well Jacob knows Edward. That's why I need him, in order to get to know Edward better. Jacob has been very helpful this week. I know that Edward is a musician and that the piano in the second floor is his. He once had a girlfriend but broke up with her a week later because he didn't see it working out. That was during their freshman year.

I can't ask Jacob about him all the time, it would be very suspicious if I did. I have to keep a low profile if I don't want him to know I'm using him for Edward. But, I'm a very impatient person and I want to know so much about Edward, I wonder if he wants to know anything about me.
