*R O S E's P O V* 
I walk into the compound in the best of moods. Then I hear Nik yelling. 
"Where were you?" He yells. 
"I went to a bar." I say didn't knowing I had to check in with anybody. 
He vamp speeds in front of me fuming. "You can't run off like that." He yells in my face. 
"Stop yelling at me!" I yell back. "I haven't had one moment since I got out of the hospital to calm down. I went to a bar and I got to do the one thing that de stresses me. And by the way your the one that told me I needed to stay away from your family!" 
He doesn't say anything but I can tell he's still mad. "You should have still told us!" He yells. 
"Niklaus!" Elijah and Rebekah yell in unison. Bella walks into the courtyard and sighs in relief when she sees me. Edward walks in and shakes his head reading my thoughts. 
Elijah walks down and looks at me. I shake my head in disbelief at how they all reacted. 
"Stay out of this Elijah." Nik says. 
"How about you Klaus calm down!" I yell. Everyone looks at me when I said Klaus instead of Nik. "I was doing something you told me to do so don't get your panties in a not. I went out and had fun. I'm old enough to go out without having to ask someone."
Nik looks at me with a glare. I vamp speed to my bedroom and pack everything. Edward and Bella walk in. 
"What are you doing?" Edward asks. 
"I'm going to a hotel." I say looking up. "I can compel myself a room." 
"Rose slow down. Just stay here. There's no point of getting a room. Your leaving Wednesday." Bella says. 
"And Nik hates me." I turn and face her with tears in my eyes. "Nik hates me. Nik hates me and I don't know what to do with myself." I throw the dress I had in my hands down and collapse on the floor. 
Edward looks at Bella who isn't doing anything. Edward sighs and crouches in front of me. He takes my hands and rubs a thumb over my knuckles. 
"Klaus does not hate you Rose. He's just looking out for you. Why do you think I left Bella last year? I left her to protect her from my world." Edward says. 
"But I'm just as much apart of yours and Nik's world then I am the human world. Yes I'm a hybrid but I'm a vampire more then anything. Nik needs to understand I am a big girl. Yes I've been in two wrecks but it's happened I'm ok. And neither of them were his fault." I look down at my phone when Caroline's name crosses it. "Care?" I smile at my other sister. 
"Hey Rosie!" Caroline says when I answer. 
"Hey Carebear. How is everything?" 
"Oh my gosh Rose. It's awful down here." 
"I'll come see you once Bella is married. It's been to long. What's Bonnie, Elena, and Stefan doing?" I ask. 
"Bonnie is... complicated." Caroline says with stress in her voice. "Stefan and elena are fine." 
"Oh. I hope you are all well." 
"How's Forks?" Caroline asks changing the subject. 
"I'm in New Orleans." I say sighing. 
"Why?" She asks curiously. 
"I'm singing in a concert with one of my friends." I say. I hear her gasp on the other side. 
"Why didn't you say anything? We would have been there." Caroline says hurt. 
"You can pay a visit to Forks. I'm doing a show in a town near it." I say. She sighs again.
