Throughout the rest of the school day I wondered how could I have been so lucky? Why would she chose me of all people she could of had in her life or can still have later in life? As I was putting my books in my locker, I sighed. Walking out of the school I had a strange feeling deep in my gut.

Rosalies POV

"She is feeling uneasy about something." Jasper says from my side as we were walking down the hallway towards Y/N.

"Do you have any idea what it could be about?" I asked worriedly.

"I think it may be your relationship. I sense an intense amount of passion yet a bit of caution. There is also something else, but I can't quite pin point it." He says trying to figure out that last bit.

"Okay thank you Jasper." I say hurriedly as I human sped walked to meet up with Y/N. As I come up behind her we are finally outside. I reach down and grab her hand and give her a soft smile as we continue to walk to her vehicle.

I think she realizes that I know something is up, so she gestures me to get in. I follow her command as I look at my siblings, already seeing them get in our cars knowing I won't be riding home with them. Once I'm in the passenger seat I look over towards my mate.

Her beautiful face is contorted in thought as she drives off. I don't want to push her to talk, so I just grab her hand on the middle console and hold it gently in my lap as we drive toward her house.

Y/N POV

I know she wants to talk to me about what I'm thinking but how am I supposed to tell her that I think I'm not good enough for her? That she could have anyone and why would she chose me? All of that jumbled up with the unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach I don't know what to think let alone say to her.

We pull up to my house, as I put the car in park I turn towards Rosalie. "I know you want to talk about what I'm thinking, but I just don't quite have the words for it yet" I say impishly.

"That's okay love we can talk about it whenever you're ready. Just know that I'm more open minded than I look and I swear to you I'm a good listener. I won't shy away from you, not ever." She said passionately looking into my eyes.

With that being said we walk into my house hand in hand. My parents still aren't home so Rosalie and I decided to camp out on the couch snuggling and talking more about her life and my own.

Hours pass and I finally look at my phone to check the time. My parents still aren't home! I get up and start pacing in the middle of my living room. "Rosalie, my parents still aren't home. I don't know what to do." I say running my fingers through my hair. "I can't call them, they won't have any reception."

"Y/N please relax. We can head to the state park they went hiking at. If they are still there, their car should still be in the parking lot. Come on I'll drive." Rosalie says as she grabs my keys and then my hand leading me out the door. "What park did they go to?"

"Um.. the quileute reserve I think?" I say trying to remember the name.

I notice her tense, but she keeps a brave face and encourages me out the door with a small smile.

"It's okay Y/N, we will find them."

As we start towards the car I hear Rosalie's phone ring.  "Hello Carlisle? Y/N and I were about to go look for her parents, they still aren't home from their hiking trip today".

She gets in the drivers seat as I'm buckling up my seat belt anxious to find my parents. I have a terrible feeling still.

I hardly noticed Rosalie's grim face until she spoke "Yes. We will be right there."

"Y/N. I'm taking you to my house. Carlisle needs to speak to you." She says as she speeds out of my driveway not leaving me any time to ask any questions.

"Rosalie what is happening!" I say clutching the door handle.

All I get is a Stoney silence and a soft glance.  We finally pull into her driveway and she speeds around to my side of the car.

"Carlisle wouldn't tell my why we needed to come here so urgently." She says putting her arm around my waste protectively as I wrap my arm around her shoulders.

"I'm really worried about my parents Rosalie. This isn't like them"

We finally reach the family room and I realize the Cullen's I see on a normal basis are all here. They all have a sorrowful look. And surprisingly the ever missing Edward is here too.

"Carlisle. What is going on?" Rosalie asks.

"Y/N. I'm so sorry, (que music) but I thought I should be the one to tell you instead of the sheriff. The sheriff asked me to sign off on an autopsy. Well two autopsies. Your parents... they're dead. The official report was they were attacked by an animal." He says slowly.

"AN ANIMAL? Are we just going to pretend like this isn't the retched mutts! Maybe they know she's my mate and they are trying to punish her in some cruel way!" Rosalie said fuming.

All I can think of is my lost parents. They're dead. My parents are gone and I'll never get to see them again. I need some space. Slowly walking away I head to Rosalie's room.

Rosalie's POV

I see Y/N walking towards the stairs, but I'm too livid to follow her right now.

"Oh those mutts are going to pay for this." I threaten heading towards the door.

"Rosalie! Wait. It wasn't the shifters." Esme calls after me.

"How do you know?!" I flail my arms up.

"Because I was with them all day!" Edward stood up protectively. Seething is more like it.

"Why were you with them?" I ask with narrowed eyes.

"My mate is Jacob. That's why I've been missing for so long. I was trying to come to terms with it and yesterday I finally confronted him. He imprinted on me and we spent all of today together. With the entire pack." He said defensively.

"Well if it wasn't the mutts," I hear growling coming from Edward. I roll my eyes. "If it wasn't the "wolves" who did it?!" I say still heated.

"Honey I don't know but right now your mate needs you. Go to her. We will find out who did it I promise." Esme says in her mothering tone.

I snap out of my rage once my mate is brought back up. I nod to Esme then speed to my mates heart beat. I find her in my room staring out into the woods.
