Authour's Note: So, I've never really written or even read an Emmett and Rosalie story but this idea just popped into my head the other day. So, yeah, here's the first chapter hope you like it!
Chapter 1- His Angel
"Hey McCarty, get moving! You should have been up by now!" Emmett jumped out of his sleep at the sound of Riley's voice. Oh right I have training to do today, Emmett thought groggily struggling to open his eyes.
"Oh come on! When you said we would do training in the morning I thought you meant morning not 6:00 am!" Emmett grumbled as he rolled out of bed.
"If you wanna be a firefighter you'll have to learn to get up a little faster, a house could burn down while you're laying there you know! Now get dressed, you've got some training to do!" Riley barked as a smile played on his lips; he was clearly enjoying the chance to order someone around.
Emmett grumbled as he got out dressed but there was a sparkle of mischief in his blue eyes.
Riley was glancing around the room, waiting impatiently for Emmett to be ready, then out of nowhere he felt his body flying towards the ground. He looked up to see Emmett's large frame tackling him to the floor, an impish smile on Emmett's face showing his dimples. Riley struggled but it was to no avail, as muscular as he might be he was no match for Emmett.
"Hey come on!" Riley protested playfully. "If you don't let me go you won't be able to eat the breakfast I made."
At the mention of food Emmett's eyes lit up and he quickly jumped off Riley. Riley smiled as he shook his blonde hair out of his eyes; his plan had worked. He then hastily got up and followed after Emmett. "For that you get an extra hard work out today!" He called out to Emmett, his brown eyes twinkling mischievously.
"Rose dear, it's time to get up. You wouldn't want to be late for your breakfast with Royce!" Her mother's voice sang over the intercom.
Rosalie's eyes popped open at the sound her fiancé's name. She jumped out of bed and hurried to get ready. She wanted everything to look perfect when she went out with Royce.
After spending what seemed like hours fixing her hair, her make-up and finding the perfect outfit, Rosalie was finally ready. Her long blonde hair looked beautiful as always only outshone by the rest of her.
It may seem like a lot of effort but she knew it would all be worth it. In just a few weeks she would be married to Royce King, whose family practically owned the city. Then she would live in a beautiful, big house, have the most beautiful children and live the life she had always wanted. With all that, she'd be the happiest girl in the world she just knew it.
"Okay two more and then you can take a break." Riley instructed.
"Yes sir!" Emmett said giving Riley a mock salute, his eyes dancing with amusement. He then swiftly dropped to the ground and did two more push-ups then jumped up. At the same instance he jumped up Riley threw his water bottle to him but had "accidently" forgotten to put the lid on properly so the water flew in Emmett's face soaking his hair.
"Sorry, I must have forgotten to close it…" Riley said innocently. Emmett glared at him for a second, then with a little smirk on his face proceeded to shake his head causing the water to fly out of his short brown curls into Riley's face.
"Hey!" Riley protested loudly. "Wait, never mind that water feels pretty good actually. It's way too hot out here. "
"Why are you the one that's too hot when I'm the one working my butt off?" Emmett asked, shaking his head.
"Well, you know when you're hot you're hot and I'm hot." Riley said conceitedly, his eyes twinkling.
"If it worked that way you would be cold compared to me." Emmett said bursting into a booming laugh. "So, am I finished now?"
"Yeah, I guess so, I've gotta stop somewhere on the way home though. There's a job opening at some fancy restaurant and I've got nothing to do for the summer so I figure I'd apply there."
"Except of course bug me all the time, I think a job would definitely be good for you." Emmett nodded smirking.
"Wow, you really look beautiful today Rose." Royce said, his voice dripping with sweetness.
"Thanks." Rosalie said, her voice lighting up with pleasure. All her effort was worth it. Of course people called her beautiful all the time but somehow it sounded so much better coming from her fiancé. After all he must really mean since she was already marrying him so it's not like he had to say it. So he must be sincere, right? At least that's what Rosalie thought.
They talked for a while about different things, their lives, their wedding. All the while Rosalie was envisioning their wonderful future together.
Just then Royce glanced down at his watch. "Oh! I didn't realize how late it gotten. I really have to go, business to do, you know? You'll be able to get home, right?" He asked, hastily getting up from the table.
"Of course, I can just call for the car." Rosalie replied.
"Ok, good. I'll call you later. Good bye, Darling." Royce said giving her a quick peck on the cheek and dropping a wad of cash on the table to pay for their meal.
"Good bye." Rosalie said faintly as her fiancé hurriedly walked away. As she got up to leave couldn't get the nagging thought out of her mind that something was wrong but she didn't know why.
Emmett sighed impatiently as he got out of the car, Riley was taking a lot longer than he'd expected. Maybe he'd actually gotten an interview with the manager or something.
Emmett looked around restlessly, glancing towards the door where Riley had gone in and then he saw her. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Her long blonde hair was swaying in the breeze, her captivating violet eyes drawing him in, her tall slender figure practically calling out to him. He couldn't take his eyes off of her.
How could he meet this angel? He wondered. If he just walked over to her, maybe he could ask her the time or something…
Deep in thought, he didn't notice Riley had already walked out of the restaurant. Suddenly he saw a hand waving in front of his face. This irritated him greatly, how dare someone block his view of that vision!
"Hey Emmett! Snap out of it!" Riley called to him, breaking him out of his reverie.
"Huh? Oh, I didn't see you come out. Did you see that girl over there?" Emmett asked, shaking himself out of his daze.
"Obviously you did." Riley teased. "While you were staring you didn't happen to notice the big ring on her finger, did you? She's engaged, probably to some rich guy too, judging from the size of the diamond on that thing."
"Uh-huh…" Emmett murmured, his eyes still following her as she got into a car. "I wonder who she is though…"
Rosalie felt someone's gaze on her while she got into the car. She didn't think too much of it though, people stared at her all the time.
"Where to Miss Hale? Home?" The driver inquired, looking up as she sat down.
"No, I don't think so. Could you bring me to Vera's?" Rosalie responded. Vera had been her best friend for as long as Rose could remember. Most people called her V though, she didn't like the name Vera very much, said it made her feel like an old lady which made sense since she'd been named after her grandmother. She had just been married a few months ago actually.
Of course, Rosalie would never have married the guy; he was only a construction worker after all. Not nearly good enough for someone like her.
That was part of the reason she hadn't visited V in a while. She just couldn't understand why her friend would have married someone like that. She could've gotten much better, you know?
But Rose decided to give up trying to understand her best friend's mind; they had been married for a few months now anyways. She had barely visited Vera since then and she was missing her.
Just as Rosalie was thinking these things the car drove up in front of V's house. This was another thing she couldn't understand, why would V want to live in this little house in one of the poorer parts of town? Rosalie shook her head as she rang the doorbell, confused at the thought of wanting to live in a house like this.
Her wonderings were quickly forgotten as soon as Vera opened the door. V was all smiles, clearly overjoyed to see her friend.
"Rosie! Where have you been? I've missed you so much!" She cried out emphatically, wrapping Rosalie up in a very enthusiastic hug.
Rosalie had to smile at her friend, her green eyes bright with excitement, her red hair as wild as ever. Oh how she'd missed her!
"Oh, I've missed you too! I'm so sorry I haven't visited in so long." Rose apologized, squeezing her friend tightly. That's when she noticed something; V was bigger than usual…
She promptly moved back to look at V. "Oh my goodness! V are you pregnant?" She near squealed but at the same time she felt a twinge of jealousy but she quickly concealed it.
V's eyes danced with happiness, "Shh, I've just told my Matthew about it, the whole neighbourhood doesn't have to know yet." She teased.
Rosalie realized then that they were still standing in the doorway with the door wide open. She hurriedly moved further in and closed the door as V led her into the living room.
"I'm so happy for you! You must be so excited, I'm so excited! Maybe we can have our kids growing up together!" She exclaimed happily, already picturing it in her mind.
V joined in soon and the two of them were almost planning their kids' wedding when Rose's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She answered the phone cheerfully; the image of her children's wedding still in her mind.
"Hello Darling" Royce's voice came across the line."You sound like you're in a good mood, what are you up to?"
"Oh, I'm just hanging out with V." Rosalie replied toning her exuberance down a bit.
"Really?" For some reason Rose thought she heard disdain in his voice when he said this but shook it off as nothing. "I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight, say at nine?" He questioned, his voice oozing charm.
Rosalie was slightly surprised at the lateness of the meeting but was thrilled at having two dates with him in one day. "Sure, sounds great! But I have to go now, I'll see you then!" She hung up happily.
The time passed quickly after that and before Rose knew it V's husband, Matthew, was walking in from work. He promptly watched over to V and kissed her on the cheek. "Hello Darling!"
It was strange to Rosalie; Royce had said the same words to her early and kissed her on the cheek but something about the exchange between V and Matthew seemed different, sweeter maybe. It was like just in that little way they had expressed so much love for each other, but Royce loved her right?
After all, he had asked her out twice today, had bought her this amazing engagement ring and was always spoiling her. She was probably making something out of nothing or at least that's what she tried to think. Still the love, the sweetness, she had heard in Matthew's voice wouldn't seem to leave her mind.
Once Matthew had arrived it seemed to get pretty awkward. Rosalie knew it was probably her fault, Matthew was trying but she was barely civil to him. After about half an hour of the awkwardness she decided it was probably time for her to go.
"You better visit again soon! You can't just go weeks with without coming to see me like that, okay?" V insisted as she said her goodbye.
"I promise I'll try to drop by again soon. I missed not seeing you for so long too! Anyways, I'll have to be around to see how that baby is coming along!" Rosalie said smiling and giving her friend a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Alright, I'm going out for a run. I'll be back in a little while!" Emmett called back to Riley as he slipped his jacket on and walked out.
He knew going for a run would probably wake him and he should really be getting to bed early since Riley would be waking him up early again tomorrow. But he couldn't sleep now anyways, he just couldn't get that girl out of his head.
Come on Emmett, focus, it's just a girl. Emmett thought to himself, pushing himself to run faster to try and distract himself from the girl who was taking over his mind.
He breathed in the night air, taking in his surroundings. It really was a beautiful night, the sun was just disappearing from the horizon and the moon was casting its beams on all that was below it. Emmett quickly got lost in his thoughts, forgetting the girl for now.
He had probably been running for about a half hour when he passed a nearby bar. From a distance he heard drunken laughter and wrinkled his nose in disgust. Although he had turned twenty-one a few months ago he rarely drank, he didn't like what it had done to his father.
He was trying to shake the memories out of his head when he suddenly heard a girl scream for help. He stopped abruptly and looked around trying to figure out where the scream came from. He heard another scream and hastily ran in the direction it came from.
He stopped in an alley near the bar he had just passed and looked around for the girl. Then he heard that drunken laughter again. Disgusted, he turned in the direction of it. That's when he saw the girl, for a fleeting moment he paused because to his great surprise it was the same beautiful girl he had seen earlier. That surprise was soon replaced by indignation and shock at what he saw.
The girl was being pushed up against a wall and forcefully kissed by one guy while two others stood by laughing. He watched, horrified, for a second, then the guy who had been kissing her suddenly jerked back and grabbed the girl's shirt and ripped it open. Emmett watched in horror as the buttons flew away, scattering across the pavement. At the sight of that he snapped, flying through the air at her attacker.
Authour's Note: So what do think? Am I the only one whose nose wrinkles in disgust every time Royce is mentioned? Do you think Emmett will be able to fight off three other guys?
Review and tell me what you think!
