Summary: In Eclipse, we all heard Rosalie tell Bella her story. Now, you are traveling back in time, to when Rosalie was a young girl...
"Blondie" is about Rosalie's childhood and how it went down, from the little things to the big things. This story begins when Rosalie is fourteen years old, with some younger flashbacks, until she is sixteen. I intend on making a sequel beginning after she turns sixteen, until she is changed, so there will be two books for this total. I might make it a short series.

1. Chapter 1 - Rich Priss by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 6] (1175 words)
Hi everybody! This is my first try "running with the big dogs." All reviews are respected and cherished. :) Thanks!
DISCLAIMER: I own NOTHING having to do with Twilight. Except an undying love.
Song of the Chapter:
"RichGirl$" by Down With Webster
"You're a rich girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway.
You can rely on the old mans money,
you can rely on the old mans money.
It's a b**** girl and it's gone to far cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money, money wont get you too far, get you too far."
Thought that was just PERFECT for Rosalie, and how she is at age 14... which, by the way, is the age in which she starts.
2. Chapter 2 - Thoughtful Day by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 5] (1180 words)
Zomg - there's a total of puppies, being told off, courts and jailtime in this chapter!
Yay - I’ve survived so far! If you have questions, comments, feedback, anything but please not hate mail - suggestions work though - email me at usedtobewannabe@gmail.com!
Also - thank you to my beta - though I'm not exactly sure who you are! *frustrated face*
Song quote for this week’s chapter:
“You got your money, you got your car
You got your bottle at the bar
It doesn’t mean anything, you’re anything
A rich b*tch, a rich b*tch
The public loves you, you’re gonna go far
Cause you’re throwin a charity bazaar
It doesn’t mean you give a d*mn”
“Rich B*tch” - D.O.A.
Oh, and one big thank you to the best beta ever: myimm0rtal!
3. Chapter 3 - Surprises by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 3] (1220 words)
Hi, there! After some minor fixes, I'm ready to get Chapter 3 up! I don't have a song for this chapter (I. Just. Can't. Find. One!), but I might get one up eventually!
Hugs n Kisses ~ Crazy
WARNING: This chapter discusses underage alcohol abuse.
4. Chapter 4 - For Better or For Worse by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 4] (2144 words)
Thank you to myimm0rtal. I feel as though I’m overworking you! You’re the best beta ever - I hope you know that - and I thank you for all of the assistance you’ve given me!
Warning: this chapter is a little longer than my usual chapter, and there is underage drinking and a bit of language, though not too excessive.
I actually have two lyrics for this chapter to make up for the lost ones in the last chapter.
These lyrics are for Rosalie’s feelings towards Jax and his drinking issue, and her belief - YES, THERE IS UNDERAGE DRINKING IN THIS CHAPTER TOO - well, you’ll see when you read on. She clearly vocalizes it. It’s called ‘Kiss ‘n’ Tell’ by the best partier ever - Ke$ha! I’m pretty sure these won’t be the only lyrics by her to my stories you’ll ever hear. The whole song doesn’t fit, but the lyrics at the beginning does. It was hard for me to pick a measly excerpt!
“Listen to yourself, you’re a hot mess,
Stuck together with your words,
Breaking a sweat,
What’s it gonna take to confess,
What we both know?
Yeah, I was out of town last weekend,
You were feeling like a pimp around your lame friends,
Now your little party’s gonna end,
So here we go…”
And - for Rosalie to her father, even though we seldom see him this chapter, though she has trouble physically and emotionally realizing and vocalizing it, this is what her heart is really saying. It’s called ‘These Words (I Love You, I Love You, I Love You)’ by Natasha Bedingfield.
“These words are my own,
From my heart they flow,
I love you, I love you, I love you!
There’s no other way,
To better say
I love you, I love you, I love you…”
5. Chapter 5 - Empty Days by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 3] (1454 words)
Hello again, all!
While striving for longer chapters, home life has also been extremely hectic and stressful, so I am regretful for the long waiting period I have put you all through!
I hope you like it!
This chapter’s song is “Lost” by Katy Perry, going like this:
“Have you ever been so lost?
Known the way and still so lost?
Another night waiting for someone to take me home,
Have you ever been so lost?
Is there a light, is there a light,
At the end of the road?
I’m pushing everyone away,
‘Cause I can’t feel this anymore
Can’t feel this anymore…”
6. Chapter 6 - Fading Echoes by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 1] (1196 words)
Welcome one, welcome all, back to…Blondie! Starring the well-known Rosalie, and her not-so-well-known family and acquaintances: Jax, Fargo, Mother, Father, Quincy, and more!
Anyways…
This chapter is dedicated to myimm0rtal, even though she is no longer my beta, for being such a nice good beta. <3 And to my new beta: Dr_Twilight_PharmD! Hope you can put up with my shenanigans!
I also want to thank all of you guys for reading and reviewing - do you know we’re close to hitting 800 views? Yes, 800! That’s a load! :D I can’t thank you all enough!
However, this chapter was fairly easy to write, considering I myself am in a not-so-happy slump as well. So, here goes nothing!
This chapter’s song:
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum
"It's a quarter after one,
I'm a little drunk and I need you now,
And I said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control
And I need you now,
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now…”
7. Chapter 7 - Intertwined by CrazyLovingLife [Reviews - 0] (506 words)
Eeeek! Ohmigosh, do you guys know we are brushing on 1200 views? Maybe only about 600 are from my own excited looks at the story! J
Since I’m now doing dedications every chapter, I’m dedicating this chapter to ‘my fan Sam’, who is very nice and is always dropping a review for me! :D Thanks to ya, Sam!
I’m just terribly sorry for being out, guys. So much has happened to me. Can you believe the last time I even edited this draft was in August? Shocking to me especially.
The last few weeks I’ve been drafting in my head but procrastinating on actually writing up a chapter. Much to your dismay, I’d suppose, if you’re bothering to read, this one’s gonna be short. Usually I put it in a size-10 font and make myself type 10 pages on word. I’m content with whatever I get here though J
This chapter is just about a Rosalie meeting with Quincy, with some background info. The lyrics are aimed at Quincy and Rosalie’s relationship.
“For the Nights I Can’t Remember” - Hedley
“…So I can and I will and you’ll see your hero come running
Over and over tonight
And I do wanna love you
If you see me running back
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I’m going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time…”
