Chapter one:
RPOV:
It was 10am, Saturday morning in the summer holidays and I, Rosalie Hale, was home alone lying in bed; flicking through my old photo album. I know what you're thinking I'm tragic right? Girl with no friends? Well no that's not it at all. I have great friends, in fact they are in the present photo.
The picture was taken nearly two years ago at my best friend Alice Cullen's 15th birthday party. Despite Alice's love of big parties and flashing events she had chosen to have a downscaled party and save the fancy celebration for the next year; and she sure did just that. In the photo Jasper, my twin brother was looking down at Alice who even back then was a head shorter than us. They had just recently declared there feelings for each other, after crushing on each other for two years.
Jasper looks like me; we both have naturally honey blonde hair. While I have violet eyes he has sky blue eyes. The blue the sky is when there's not a cloud present even though it was bucketing down with rain the day before; we rarely get to see that type of sky in Forks. We're both tall and slender.
Alice, who in the photo was holding her bright pink birthday cake and had a giant grin plastered on her face, has short black hair which finish in flicked spikes. She has green eyes and is really tiny; pixie like.
On the other side of Alice was her older brother Edward. He's a year older than Alice, Jasper and I. He's drop dead gorgeous with his unique bronze hair which sits messily on his head. He can totally pull the look of though; he's properly the only one who can. He has boyish features and the same green eyes as Alice. But not my type .
The year before this photo was taken when I was 14 and Edward was 15, Alice had tried to set us up. It didn't work though, neither of us were interested in each other. Edward only had eyes for one girl, Forks police Chief Swan's daughter Isabella Swan. She hates the name Isabella though so goes by Bella. Bella is next to Edward in the photo. Bella has dark brown hair and deep chocolate brown eyes. They're perfect for each other and have been going out for three years; since Alice forced Edward to tell her why he wouldn't go out with me.
I'm next to Bella with the stupidest grin on my face. I must admit even with a ridiculous smile on my face I look really good.
The reason for my smile is the very same reason I wasn't interested in Edward, the same reason I turn down all the many guys who ask me out : the Cullen's oldest son Emmett.
In the photo he was standing next to me with his hand on the small of my back. Of course he didn't realise that it was making my heart beat speed up.
You see I've been hopelessly in love with Emmett since I first lay eyes on him.
Flashback
4 years earlier.
"Rose, Jasper" Mum called. "the new neighbours are here. Please make yourselves look good and come down here so we can introduce ourselves."
Ever since we were little, people would comment on Jasper and my good looks to our parents. So now Mum prides herself on us looking good. Before we leave the house she has to check our outfits and hair. It gets a bit over the top some times but I do enjoy turning peoples heads.
The boys always look my way and Jasper gets annoyed at them and screams to stop looking at my sister. I like the attention though but don't like any of the boys at the moment they're all too boring for my liking. Perhaps one of the neighbours will be a cute boy?
"Coming mum" I called back and I heard Jasper murmur "me too" from his bedroom next door to mine. I checked my reflection in my body length mirror. I liked what I saw, my hair was curled today and it fell to my shoulders. I had a bit of basic make up on from when my best friend Vera was over in the morning giving each other makeovers. I didn't actually need to wear makeup, being only 13 but I like the way I looked wearing it.
Jasper and I left our rooms at the same time; twin telepathy we'd joke. We went down stairs where Mum was waiting eagerly. She was watching the moving van get unpacked from the window but turned and smiled when she saw us. "Wow you two look nice." she said.
I looked at Jasper and he did. He was wearing a light blue button up shirt and black knee length shorts which had a pin strip. He had put some sort of cologne on. I wondered why? Jasper normally only used that stuff for extra special occasions. I didn't think this was that big of deal but I shrugged it of.
"Your dad is just getting changed out of his work clothes and into something a little more casual." Mum told us. That was the first time I'd noticed what she was wearing; a long white skirt and nice deep purple blouse. Looking rather flash for meeting the neighbours for a minute. I wondered if something else was going on here. But once my dad came into the room wearing casual denim shorts and a shirt belonging to a sports team. My mind was put at ease.
We headed for the new neighbours house just as the moving truck pulled away. Mum rang the doorbell, stepped back and waited. A pretty woman soon came to the door. She had a soft heart shaped face and wavy caramel hair. Her smile lit up her face and reached all the way to her golden brown eyes.
"Hi, I'm Mrs Hale. I live next door and thought it would be nice if my family and I introduced ourselves." my mum told our new neighbour.
"Hi I'm Esme Cullen, and it's a pleasure to meet you, please come inside and meet the rest of my family. They should be around your children's age" Esme told us kindly with a smile in the direction of Jasper and I.
We walked inside the Cullen's home and it was beautiful. I particularly liked the far wall being made from glass. Esme lead us into their lounge. Which was filled with packed boxes. three people were sitting on the floor of the room sorting through boxes.
"Carlisle, Kids this is Mrs Hale and her family. They live next door and were kind enough to pop over and welcome us to Forks." Esme introduced us.
"Hi I'm Mr Hale" Dad introduced himself to the family. "and these are our two children Jasper and Rosalie. They're 13." Nice to know someone remembered we were there. I smiled to the family.
"It's very nice to meet you. I'm doctor Carlisle Cullen." a man introduced himself. He must have been in his late 30's maybe nearing the early 40's but he looked good for his age. He had sunny blonde hair and bright green eyes. He was around 6 ft 2 in height…but now it all made sense; Carlisle was a doctor. No wonder mum wanted everyone to look nice.
My Dad and Carlisle shook hands while Esme asked her two child if they'd like to introduce themselves. The way Esme looked at her children made me envy them, the way mother looks at us is like we are an asset, a shiny new toy to brag about not her loving children. Don't get me wrong I know my mum loves us.
A boy who looked just older than Jasper and I strode towards us. "Hey I'm Edward Cullen. I'm 14 and it's good to meet you both." He said confidently. He was shorter than he is now and less toned but even at the age of 14, Edward was well sculpted. I smiled at him while Jasper reintroduced himself
"Sup man I'm Jasper. In case you didn't catch it before. I can show you around Forks if you would like."
Before Edward could reply he was cut off.
The Cullen's daughter was suddenly throwing her arms around me. Though it was unusual for me to hug someone I'd just met I hugged her back.
"I'm Alice Cullen and I'm 13 too" she squealed. "I can just tell we're going to be the best of friends Rose." next thing I knew she was throwing herself around Jasper.
The look on Jasper's face was priceless when he was caught off guard but it soon turned into a huge smile as he hugged Alice back. That's weird he won't even hug his twin sister but will hug someone he just met?
"Mmn Jasper you smell so good!" Alice told him pulling back. Aha so that's why he was wearing cologne; he must have seen Alice out of his window. So Jazzy-boy has a crush aye. I would have to have a talk to him when we get home.
Alice turned back to me "Oh my Cullen! I just got the best Idea ever! What are you doing tonight? We should all totally have a sleepover and then Me and Rose can go shopping tomorrow morning! Yay this is going to be awesome" The little pixie squealed. Something told me we weren't going to have a say in this. When Alice's squealing died down I first heard it; the booming laugh that would soon become a drug for me.
The booming laughter came all the way down the staircase and entered the room we were in.
There he was. With one look at his dark brown curly hair, green eyes, dimples and muscled body I was hooked. And I hadn't even learnt his name yet.
"Gosh little sis. We've been living in Forks what? An hour? And your already plotting to scare our accompany away." he joked with Alice. Alice looked at him and pouted before turning to me and whispering "Please Rose, Please." I nodded. I was in; especially if HE was going to be here.
"Mr and Mrs Hale, Jasper and Rosalie this is our oldest son Emmett. He's 17 at the moment but will soon be turning 18." Carlisle said motioning to Emmett. "Emmett, these are our new neighbours Mr and Mrs Hale and their two children Jasper and Rosalie."
Emmett grinned around the room. Dad was clearly intimidated by Emmett, who at 17 was the size of my dad. But when Emmett closed the cap between them before holding out his large hand to him "Hey it's great to meet you Mr." Dad seemed taking back by his forwardness but took his hand anyway. "Yes, you too son."
Emmett then introduced himself to my mum, giving her a small peak on the cheek. I couldn't help feel a pang of jealousy. Jealousy towards my mother? Now that's a first. But then Emmett turned towards me smiling a dimpled smile; which I would soon learn to be my favourite. He skipped towards me and enveloped me into a huge bear hug and pulled jasper in as well.
"Hey Rosie and Jazzy. Welcome to the family"
Emmett smelled amazing and I found myself being momentarily dazzled by him.
I could tell by being in Emmett's outgoing presence that he and Alice were a lot alike. The only visual factors they had in common were their Green eyes they shared with Edward and Carlisle, and their pale white skin. But personality wise they had a lot. It was safe to say they were the only two people that I've hugged within a minute of knowing them.
"Emmett's right you know?" Alice said pulling me out of my dazzled state.
"Whys that?" I asked her.
"Well not only are we going to be best friends, You and Jasper are going to be part of our Family."
Flashback ended
Jasper and I ended up over staying at the Cullen's house that night. We sleep on the floor surrounded by boxes but it was one of the best days of my life. In that one night Alice and I became the best of friends and Jasper and Edward did the same. While my crush on Emmett deepened.
Over the last 4 years Alice, Jasper, Edward and I have become inseparable; 3 of those years Bella too. We're like the fabulous five, famous five, Scooby Doo and mystery Inc…you get the picture we are 5 best friends. Together to the end.
My relationship with Emmett has grown also. He now loves me! Seriously. He told me so.
Flashback
3 months ago.
It was Emmett's 21st birthday and there was a big party next door at the Cullens. Since Emmett was turning 21 there was alcohol present but Alice, Jasper, Edward, Bella and I were forbidden to drink it.
The five of us were at my place when the party began, watching the movie 'The Covenant'. We had lost track of time and didn't realise the party started until Alice got a text from Esme.
We tidied ourselves up and headed over. We entered the house and Edward, Alice, Jasper and Bella went to find Esme to tell her we had arrived. I wanted to wish Emmett a Happy birthday so went into the Cullen's living room to find him. I soon spotted him; he was hard to miss! in the years since I met him, he'd bulked up so much he now looks like a serious weight lifter. I admit it's a good look on him.
I stoped in my tracks when I saw him…with her. Emmett was busy sucking face with some girl with a skimpy skirt that barely covered her and a low cut top that also showed of her belly button. I was shocked Esme allowed someone to wear so little in her house; but there were so many people here she properly hadn't seen. I couldn't recognise this girl from behind; it was only when her and Emmett could a breathing break did I notice it was Irina Denali who is known around Forks as the town's 'bicycle'. Jealousy and despair rose through me. Alice had been trying to warn me her brother had turned into a player but I didn't want to believe it. I grabbed the nearest alcohol bottle and raced up the stairs.
I found myself shutting the door of Emmett's bedroom. I looked around the room and noticed a framed photo on Emmett's bedside table. I'd ever noticed it in here before, then again every other time I've been in his room was when he was here; so I was either watching him or looking down at the floor.
I picked up the photo and noticed it was the picture taken at Alice's 15th birthday of the 6 of us. I took the photo and put it in my bag with the bottle of vodka. I pushed open Emmett's window and climbed onto the roof of the first floor which extended further that the second. I looked at the built on ladder attacked to the wall; which lead from the first floor roof to the second. I took off my heels and put them into my bag. They're not the best for climbing. I climbed to the top of the roof. It's a good thing I'm not as clumsy as Bells.
2 hours and ¾'s of a bottle of vodka later I lay on the roof watching the stars. For once in Forks the sky was clear enough to see them. I had the bottle in one hand and the framed photo in the other. I wished we could go back to the days when Emmett was just the lovable football player we all loved rather than a day to day player; playing a whole new type of game. There was always the age cap between us but today it really felt like it set us a part.
My phone vibrated from inside my bag, loudening as it connected with the iron roof top. It was properly Alice again or Jasper or one of the others. Even Esme had gotten worried and called. I hadn't answered my phone though. I know I should have but I just can't face them; not only was I heartbroken but I was drunk!
I checked what this message had to say.
Rose answer me right now! I'm freaking out. We all are. Where are you? What happened? -Alice
I decided I should properly let them know I'm ok…physically at least.
Ali, I'm ok. Tell everyone to calm down and enjoy party. -Rose
I sent the text and felt instantly lighter. Until my phone went off again.
R, this aren't cool. Where are you? Are you at home? I'll come home right now if you are? -Jazz
Argh when would they stop?. In the distance I could hear Bella and Edward calling out my name.
J, chill. I'm all goods but want to be alone. Just go spend time with your girl and wish Emmett a happy birthday from me. I'll see you tonight k? -R
After that I shut off my phone. After another hour or so and another 8th of the bottle I couldn't hear my name being called out anymore and the party started to die down. Taxi's were arriving and taking everyone home. Trust Esme and Carlisle to call in taxi's rather than let kids drive. I guess that's what happens when you work in a hospital and see the accidents.
I nearly thought it was safe to go inside when I heard screaming! Emmett's voice.
"ROSALIE'S MISSSING AND YOU ONLY THOUGHT TO TELL ME NOW!" he screamed, I never think I've heard him so angry. I couldn't hear what they were telling him but he screamed again
"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN. I'M GOING TO MY ROOM TO GRAB MY PHONE THEN I'M GOING TO GO FIND HER MYSELF."
"AND THEN WHAT EMMETT? WALK AROUND THE STREETS. YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING YOU CAN'T DRIVE!…PLUS WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST 4 HOURS" Alice screamed back at him. I could hear the hysteria in my best friend's voice.
Next thing I heard was Emmett's door slam just below me and his voice "C'mon Rosie pick up your phone, pick up." he was obviously trying to call me. I felt guilty that this would be ruining his birthday. But then I remembered the reason I was up here in the first place. Him sucking face with the tramp.
Emmett's voice got louder "What's my window doing open?" oh snap I forgot to close it. "I didn't open it today because the rain was coming in that direction this morning" he sounded confused, like he was questioning himself.
I heard Emmett's footsteps climb up the ladder. No, no, no he's going to find me.
"Rosie?" I heard Emmett's voice quieten, almost whisper my name. I turned my head and gave him a small smile. You know I was surprised at the control I still had over myself, after drinking that much.
Emmett was right next to me in a matter of seconds. He pulled me up into a sitting position and sat in behind me so I leaned back onto his chest. He whispered again into my ear "Rosie what are you doing up here? You had so many people worried."
Ha right; coming from the guy who had been too busy sucking face he hadn't noticed me missing all night.
I just shook my head. "Have you been drinking Rose?" he asked eyeing the nearly empty bottle of vodka.
This time I nodded. "Rose please, just say something tell me what's wrong? Say anything. Anything."
"Happy birthday Emmett." I whisper. His chuckles sound. Not the normal booming laugh but deep chuckles. I soon join in - the vodka must be getting to me.
He suddenly stopped laughing and looked at me seriously. "Did someone hurt you Rose? Physically?" His voice was now angered. I shook my head no. But I would have liked to get my hands on that girl you were with on the dance floor. I wouldn't dare say that aloud though.
"Good!" Emmett spoke loud and clearly. "Because I would have had to kill them" he spoke so seriously. I was taken back.
"Why?" I croaked out, my voice wavering.
"Why Rose? Are you seriously Rosie? Why? Because I love you of course." he said. My eyes popped out of my head. I couldn't believe what he just said. Emmett said he loved me!
"Everyone does Rose! We all love you." he turned me around to face him. And looked into my eyes and spoke " You are family Rosie. My little sister! If anyone ever hurt you I would kill them! Nobody touches Emmett Cullen's little sister."
Flashback ended
That's right Emmett Cullen loves me! I'm his little sister. Argh! For ten whole seconds I was in bliss; thinking the love of my life loved me back. But it was too good to be true and with one sweet sentence (that would have had me smiling if anyone else had said it) brought me crashing back down. Emmett Cullen's little sister.
With one last look at the photo in the album I slammed the book shut. And looked at the clock it was now 10:30am. This day was going to go so slow.
It was Edward's 18th Birthday. So Bella wanted to take out for the day and naturally Alice went along taking Jasper with her. I was invited to go but turned them down, not wanting to be the fifth wheel. They were supposed to get back around 3pm. Giving everyone enough time to get ready for Edward's party tonight. Alice and I were going to Bella's house at 4pm to help get her ready. She really was a walking disaster when it came to fashion. She was lucky she was naturally beautiful, and that's a compliment I don't dish out lightly. So until then I had to occupy myself for the a whole day.
I was right the day went incredibly slow; when the clock neared 2:20pm I was literally screaming for it to hurry up and move to 3pm. I had seen Emmett briefly around lunchtime when I was outside working on my car. But he was on his way out to meet up with some of his clubbing buddies since he would have to stay in for his brother's birthday tonight. He had promised me we'd hang out tonight at the party though so that's something to look forward to.
Alice dropped jasper home and poked her head in the door to tell me to be ready in an hour to go to Bella's. I assured her I would be.
At 3:55pm, right on schedule Alice showed up at my house. She was always on time when it came to more or less two things shopping and Barbie Bella! It would only take us five minutes or less to get to Bella's house.
Alice didn't look her hyper self when she came inside though. She walked in and sat down lazily on the breakfast bar, stool. I was worried whenever we go to Bella's, Alice is always buzzing before hand. I practically get dragged out the door. I moved to the stool next to hers and sat down.
"What's wrong Alice?" she looks like her puppy just got ran over but Alice doesn't have a puppy.
She looked up at me tears in her eyes.
"You are not going to like it Rose." she told me, apology in her voice.
"What is it Ali?" I asked her urgently. She wasn't going to move back to Alaska was she? Or dump Jasper! No way she loved Jazz, they were destined to get married one day.
I watched her face change, a mixture of hurt, concern and a tad of excitement that she was trying to hide. Then she said six words that sent my dreams crumbling.
"Emmett's going to be a dad"
AN: So what did you all think? Keen to read more? Please tell me.
Oh and also i was worried about the rating. Is T right?
I tried to go through and tone down a lot of the lanuage as I had gotten carried away with the emotion when writing. So your thoughts on toning up or down the language please.
Much love to all the readers. Next chapter is writen so will be posted when/if you want to read it.
