Lost

part 7

Rosalie was still in Bella's room when she woke up. "Morning." Rosalie leaned over and kissed Bella's forehead. "Did you sleep alright?"

Bella frowned. She couldn't remember if she had any nightmares. "I think so," she said softly. "Charlie?"

"Went to work," Rosalie replied. "But not before checking on you. He's worried about you."

Bella looked down. "I don't want him to worry." Bella felt bad for making him worry. She hadn't meant to. It was the reason she didn't tell him what happened.

"I know." Rosalie cupped Bella's cheek. "Why don't you go get ready and I will make you some breakfast?" she suggested. Bella nodded and climbed out of bed.

While Bella showered Rosalie made some bacon, eggs and toast for her mate. Bella came downstairs just as Rosalie finished up the food. "Milk or orange juice?"

"Milk," Bella requested. Bella sat at the kitchen table and Rosalie poured milk for Bella. "Thank you." Bella dug into the food. "It's good."

Rosalie grinned. "So what do you want to do about school?"

"I don't know," Bella admitted. She grabbed the salt and pepper shakers and poured a small amount on her eggs. "Honestly I'm a little afraid of what people will say when they see I'm all over you."

"They don't have to know anything," Rosalie told her. "They don't need to know about us. There is nothing for them to know anyway. We are friends, let them think what they want."

"Okay," Bella agreed.

Rosalie cleaned up the dishes while Bella gathered her things. When got downstairs she heard a car horn. "That's Emmett. We are riding with him today." Rosalie glanced at Bella. "Normally we ride with Edward but for obvious reasons we can't do that so Emmett offered to drive. Emmett will drop us off here after school."

"Okay." Bella followed out of house and to Emmett's jeep. She climbed into the backseat in between Rosalie and Jasper.

"Morning Bells," Emmett greeted cheerfully.

"Morning," Bella greeted.

"You don't have to be nervous." Jasper patted Bella's hand. "We will be here for you. There's no need to worry."

"It's Biology that I'm worried about," Bella admitted.

"He's not school today," Alice informed her. Bella leaned against Rosalie. She was relieved he wouldn't be around.

Bella could feel everyone's eyes on her when she walked into the school with Rosalie and the other Cullens. She did her best to ignore them. Rosalie walked her to her locker and waited while Bella put away her books that she had taken home for the weekend. She made sure to keep her history book since she had history first period.

"Bella," Angela Webber exclaimed walking up to Bella. "Where have you been? I tried calling but your dad say you were staying with the Cullens. I didn't even know you were friends with them." She caught sight of Rosalie. "Oh, hello Rosalie."

"Angela," Rosalie greeted. She took Bella's history book from her.

"I bumped into Alice in Port Angeles," Bella lied. "We got to talking and I ended up staying there. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you."

Angela was so relieved to see Bella was okay she didn't bother getting mad over Bella not calling. She was afraid something had happened to her friend. Angela threw her arms around Bella and Rosalie growled at her.

Angela heard the growl and quickly pulled away in confusion. She had no idea who or what made that sound and she didn't want to find out. "I'm glad you're okay Bella. I'll see you in class."
