Emmett and Rosalie
What on earth was she thinking? Emmett was so confused about what had just happened. Did Rosalie just give him the finger after calling him an idiot?
Five hours before:
'Carlisle, have you seen Rosalie?' asked Emmett?
'No - why? Isn't she getting ready for class?'
'No. No one has seen her and I know she went to her room last night around the same time we all of us did. She never said anything about having to go anywhere. Hmmmm…oh well, maybe she just went out for an early morning run.'
Edward came downstairs then looking irritated. 'Has anyone seen my car keys?'
Esme shook her head, 'No, maybe you left it in the garage locker?'
'I'm sure I took the keys up with me. I'll check the garage anyway'.
Edward opened the inner garage door and scanned the stable of cars….Alice's Porsche, Emmett's jeep, Rosalie's BMW all parked in a neat row next to his Aston Martin Vanquish….which was not there!
Edward suddenly had a thought. Actually he had more of Rosalie's thoughts…..'Go faster Rosalie. Just because Jasper hid your keys to keep you from making a fool of yourself, doesn't mean you can't take someone else's car, right? Oh. There's Edwards keys…he won't mind…I know he won't.' The thoughts came in random order, one on top of the other and all at the same time.
'AAaah', Edward held his head with his hands. Too many random thoughts coming from someone else's head was not good.
Jasper came rushing downstairs with wet hair and grabbed his backpack. Edward walking towards Jasper rasped out, 'Where did Rosalie take my car Jasper?'
The room went quiet and all eyes were on Jasper. 'Oh oh', was Jaspers thoughts that Edward immediately read. Jaspers eyes immediately locked with Emmett's. He was not going to be happy about this. Jasper could be in for a beating. This was all Rosalie's fault!
Emmett walked up to Jasper and caught hold of his brother's shirt collar. Lifting him up a few inches, Emmett quietly said, 'Start talking'.
Esme spoke then, 'Emmett let Jasper go. Jasper, you tell us where Rosalie went and what she is up to? Right now!'
Then Alice came running downstairs….she could foresee the future, and Rosalie's was not looking too comfortable. 'Jasper! Don't. Let Rosalie come back and explain.'
Alice and Jasper stood together at the bottom of the stairs, while Carlisle, Edward, Esme and Emmett stared at the siblings who were protecting their sister from something.
Carlisle had enough of the bickering and negative emotions running through their home this morning. 'Jasper, where is Rosalie and what did she do?' The look on Carlisle's face was not a happy one to say the least. His glare made Jasper swallow. Might as well get it over with.
'Okay I'll tell you, but Emmett, don't be mad at me. She made me promise and I did take her car keys away. I didn't think she'd take someone else's car,' Jasper gave Edward a quick glance.
'Rosalie told Emmett that she was going over to spend a late night with her classmates, Elayna and Kaiella, to work on their social studies project. Instead they bought bottles of alcohol and got completely drunk.' Emmett was slowly getting red. He closed his hands into a fist and stared at Jasper trying not to get more enraged then he was already feeling.
Jasper continued, 'Rosalie called me around 3AM this morning, sounding so sorry and sick that she let herself get so drunk. She made me promise not to tell anyone and I went and picked her up. She was so drunk I let her sleep in the car. I told Alice, and when Alice went to check up on her this morning, she was still hangover and smelled like hell. She didn't want Emmett to see her like that so she asked me this morning if we would cover for her while she drove back to Elayna's for a shower. I told her no way and took her keys away because she was still in no mind to drive. Then I guess she took Edwards car.'
'Oh my gosh…..you mean to tell me that Rosalie is driving drunk back to the city? To take a shower?', yelled Emmett.
'GASP!', was the collective sound that everyone in the room made. Except for Alice who already knew what had being going on.
Esme turned to Carlisle, worried about Rosalie and not understand how a vampire could get drunk she asked him, 'Carlisle, is it even possible for her to get drunk?'
'Oh yes, infact vampires can get more drunk than humans because we don't have blood to diffuse the effects of the alcohol. It goes straight to our heads and takes over our thinking three times faster than it would for a human. But normally vampires don't get drunk only because we don't eat or drink anything, and so don't experience it. But I'm guessing Rosalie, to keep up appearances, bowed down to pressure and drank when she knew that she just wasn't supposed to'.
Jaspers phone rang just then. He looked down and saw that it was a call from Rosalie's phone. He quickly answered it to make sure Rosalie was fine, and also to take the attention off of him. Emmett looked like he was all set to punch his lights out.
The voice on the other end of the line was not Rosalie, but a police officer. 'Can I speak to someone responsible for a Rosalie Cullen please?'
Jasper gave the phone to Emmett.
Half an hour later:
Emmett signed the form and paid the fine for Rosalie's drinking and driving under the influence. He hadn't said a single word to Rosalie and wasn't planning on saying anything anytime soon. He had to calm down first.
In the car, Rosalie moaned. Her head still hurt like hell. If that was even possible. Emmett finally spoke, only to yell, 'Put your seatbelt on!'. Rosalie quickly did as she was told. She had never seen Emmett so angry. At least, not with her. They drove home in silence, every minute killing Rosalie inside. She knew she had disappointed everyone.
Edward followed them in his Aston Martin. Luckily she had been stopped before she could do any damage. Emmett and Edward had had a talk on their way to the cop station before picking up Rosalie. They talked about the relationship between men and women and how sometimes the man had to take control over situations to protect the woman they love.
'Well I think Rosalie's been walking all over you recently and the rest of us as well. Her attitude is really starting to piss all of us off Emmett.'
'Yea, I know', agreed Emmett. 'But this time, I'm going to take care of it. Even if she can't sit down for a week!' Edward turned to look at his brother. He read Emmett's thoughts and for a split second felt sorry for Rosalie.
At home, Emmett told Rosalie to go take a shower. Rosalie took the chance to stall whatever punishment was headed her way and ran up the stairs. Carlisle walked into the room then and was filled in on everything that had happened. Emmett looked at Carlisle. 'Let me take care of her Carlisle. I need to do this.'
Carlisle agreed. 'Yes, I think so too son'.
Rosalie took her own time, washing her hair and standing in the hot water. It felt so good. Emmett losing his patience, banged on the door. 'Rosalie, that is enough. Come out right now'.
Emmett sat on the bed with his arms crossed. Rosalie dried her hair and changed into a tank top and shorts. 'Want to explain yourself?', he asked.
'No. I don't have to explain myself to you or to anyone. I'm a grown woman and can do whatever I want Emmett.' she walked past him and poked him on his shoulder as she said that.
Grabbing her finger, he growled, 'You're wrong little girl. A grown woman would not have secretly planned on drinking with her friends, steal her brother's car and drive drunk. A grown woman would have called her boyfriend and told him the truth about what was going on.' Emmett then stood up and grabbed hold of Rosalie's upper arm.
'Do you know what a stupid thing you did driving off like that in Edwards's car drunk? What were you thinking Rosalie?' He gave her a little shake.
Rosalie was getting angry by the minute. She looked up at Emmett, shrugged her arm away from his grasp and rasped, 'Let go of my arm you idiot! You can't tell me what to do!' Then she gave him the finger and walked out of the room.
What on earth was she thinking? Emmett was so confused about what had just happened. Did Rosalie just give him the finger after calling him an idiot?
He went after her as she walked down the stairs. Jasper decided he played against Emmett enough for one day and had to make amends. He quickly walked up to Rosalie, put his arms out on both sides of the banisters and blocked Rosalie's way. 'Where do you think you're going Rosalie?', asked Jasper.
Rosalie turned only to bang her face into Emmett's chest. Now cornered between both brothers she took a defensive stance. 'Look, I'm sorry I got Jasper involved in this, I shouldn't have. Emmett, calm down and let's talk about this rationally, okay?'
'Calm down after everything you've done today? You get your butt upstairs Rosalie, right now!'
Rosalie looked into Emmett's dark eyes. He didn't blink and glared at her so angrily that she felt a little scared. She turned to look at the faces of her other siblings and parents. All of them were glaring at her with their arms crossed and ready to physically stop her if she tried to run. Edward read her thoughts, 'If I jump high enough, I can go over all their heads and get to the door'.
Growling out the words, Edward said, 'Don't even think about doing that Rosalie, or else you'll be getting a spanking from all of us and not just Emmett.'
Rosalie turned to walk upstairs, never feeling so scared and embarrassed in her whole life.
Please review so I feel inspired to write chapter 2 of this story. Thanks!
