Dancing with our hands tied | Rosalie Hale

Chapter 27: Prom

-What is going? - Renee questioned as she walked to us, she was eying Rosalie up and down and her eyes lingered to her arms around my waist, then she looked up to me –Who is this? –

I opened my mouth but there were not sounds coming out of it, I did not know how much she had seen. Had she seen us kissing?

I let go of Rosalie trying to ignore the frown in her face.

-Soffia Grace- she pulled me from my arm away from Rosalie's side – I'm talking to you! -

Renee was freaking out which was making me freak out. I put back on the mask trying really hard to keep my breathing even. My mother then turned to Rosalie expecting an explanation.

-My name is Rosalie Hale- Rosalie did not seem faced by the looks Renee was giving her.

Renee did not attempt to shake Rosalie's hand, but I could tell she was a little shaken up by Rosalie's looks. Of course she was, Rosalie had the kind of beauty that left you speechless at first sight.

-I told you that you had to be normal-she grabbed my arm again, shaking me lightly – I told you, you had to leave all this behind-

-Mom- I gasped when she squeezed a little too hard on my arm, Renee let go with a grimaced, obviously she had failed to realize she was hurting me.

-I'm sorry honey- she gave me a fake sweet smile – I know that this whole living with your father has been hard in both of you- she combed my hair lightly – Also your sister having a boyfriend can make you feel lonely and a little jealous but this is not how you should deal with this feelings-

I could barely hold myself back from rolling my eyes, so typical of Renee. She was so good at deflecting that was trying to brain wash me into thinking this was some sort of phase.

I turned to look at Rosalie, begging her with my eyes to help me get out of this situation but her jaw line was prominent and her eyes had gone black. She was looking at Renee like she will murder her right here.

I looked at Esme alarmed, she nodded once and put on her best act. She stepped up in between Renee and I, leading me discretely next to Rosalie. Rosalie grabbed the back of my hospital gown to close it shut, thank god because I was in no mood to flash my underwear to Carlisle that was now standing behind us with a hand in both of our shoulders.

I was eyeing Rosalie from the corner of my eye, I could tell that she was still pissed at my mother, and that her grip on my gown was more to ground herself rather than for my privacy.

That was not a surprise, my mother had that kinda effect on people.

-Hi, I am Esme Cullen, I am Edward's and Rosalie's mother - Esme's voice was calm and friendly, but I could tell she was also a little stiff then she signaled Carlisle – This is my husband, Carlisle-

Renee's attitude changed in a heartbeat, realizing this were Edward's parents, the boyfriend of her precious older daughter.

-I am Renee Dwyer- she smiled brightly giving Esme a quick hug – It's so nice to see meet you and your husband-

Charlie finally made his appearance, he was holding a coffee in each hand and he looked like he had aged a year, I felt guilt knowing that I was partly at fault for that. When he raised his sight from the floor, he sighed out of relieve and quicken his walk to finally reach us. He hugged me softly with both mugs still on his hands.

-I am so happy you are finally awake- his voice sounded strangled, like he was holding himself back from crying. I was so touched that I melted myself in his hug.
