Chapter 3
The Game
Emmett's POV
After the band played The Star Spangled Banner they took their potstones in their lines at the edges of the football field from end zone to end zone. Once they were done on one knee with the drum line being the only part of the band standing, the cheerleaders came running out and took there positions. The drum line started to play a cadence and the cheerleaders started there cheer. As they finished the team was announced and we all took off with are helmets on. Full speed Jasper, Edward and I were in the front, with me in between the two of them. I broke through the banner that the cheerleaders were holding up and the home side went wild.
Jasper and I took off are helmets and walked out to the middle of the field to be joined but the two boy from the South Lake team that were about to eat the grass that they were walking on for even thinking about touching Rose or Al. "Heads or tails East Ridge?" the referee asked Jasper and I.
Without hesitation Jasper said "Tails." And the coin was flung up in the air. Once it landed on the ground the referee looked down and picked it up.
"Tails it is. Kicking or Receiving boys?"
Jasper and I just grinned at each other and said in unison "Receiving." Jasper and the team already knew my plan; somehow we also got coach to agree. The four of us shook hand but it was obvious that there was tension between the four of us.
"Watch out for the ground McCarty, Hale tell you sister I said watch who real men play." Alexander said with a smug smile. His head was shaved and his skin was tanned. I knew he was just Rose's type but she was going to be mine. He even saying her name mean me clench my fist so that I wouldn't fight the boy right here and now.
Jasper just put his hand on my shoulder and said "Save it for the game, Tucker." We both turned around putting are helmets back on and going to join the rest of the team.
Bella's POV
I was sitting in the sky box on the visitor side watching the game start, watching for something good to put in my article for the school news paper. I loved being able to sit up here during the games, I could write in peace, text the girls if I missed something, and get a birds eye view when Edward was scoring a touchdown. While the teams were lining up in there positions I get a text form Rose.
Where did you disappear to after class today?
I could see her and Alice down in their seats watching the game intently since Emmett and Edward were both on the field. Even though that was a little odd that Emmett was on the field, I ignored it since they obviously had a plan, and went to text Rose back.
I had to go home to get my camera since I forgot it this morning. Can't miss getting a pic of the boys after they win.
I put my phone down and watched as the ball was thrown back and placed and kicked. Edward caught it and took off with Emmett there to cover him. Out of nowhere Alexander came charging at Edward. Without hesitation Emmett went into gear and tackled him, sending him to the ground with a crash that even I could hear.
My phone started to ring again. I had to pry my eyes away from the game that was paused to look at it. In big letters Rosalie typed.
DID YOU SEE THAT? COULD YOU HEAR THAT?
I could tell from the box that her eyes were big and a smile was spreading across her face. That normally happened when Emmett tackled someone but this time it was more prominent on her face.
My fingers moved with a blind furry.
OMG! Yes! He is definitely making a trip to the hospital tonight.
Once the paramedics got Alexander on the stretcher and had a neck brace around his neck they rushed him to the ambulance and took him to the nearest hospital. The referee flagged Emmett for un-sports men like conduct but he didn't care. Plastered on his face was a large goofy smile even though he would have to sit the rest of the game out. I could tell that all he cared about was 1. Getting his revenge and 2. Getting the biggest threat off the field.
After that the game was smooth sailing, Jasper through a perfect game, and Edward ran faster that I have ever seen. We won of course, 40 to 7, which must have hurt the ego of the whole South lake team since they held their heads down the rest of the night.
I grabbed my stuff and ran down the stairs only to stumble at the bottom step. So like me. I ran over to where everyone else was and jumped into Edwards hands kissing him deeply. Once I pulled away I said "Nice game."
Emmett's POV
We were all standing by the 50 yard line in a small huddle. Edward had his arms wrapped around Bella, who was standing in front of him. Rose was standing beside me and Alice beside her. Jasper walked in front of Alice and took her hands in one of his.
"Alice McCarty would you grace me with a date?" He had his smug little grin on him face and I could see that my sister's knees were shaking.
Alice jumped up and wrapped her arms around Jaspers neck as she practically screamed 'Yes' in her sing-song voice.
Jasper wrapped his arms around her waist and it was obvious that they didn't want to leave each other's grasp.
I could hear a sigh escape Rosalie's soft plump lips and all I wanted to do was ask her what I cold to for her but she just walked away without even glancing in my direction.
I would have followed after her but out of the corner of my eye I saw the other Tucker walking up. Instead of coming over to us he was walking over to where Alice was following after Rosalie. Without warning he stepped in front of her and tried to wrap his arms around her.
In the true nature of my sister she pulled her fist back and slugged him right in the nose. With him toppling over to hit the ground she just said "Keep your hand away from me you pig." And went and ran over to Rosalie.
We all went over to Drew and started to laugh. "You should know even though she is only 5 foot tall she punches like I do." I said with my booming laughter.
Rosalie's POV
I had just made it to my car when Alice's voice commanded that I stop. As I turned I saw that she had a worried look on her face. Before I could say anything she spoke. "Rose what's wrong? Why did you just walk off like that?"
"Nothing it's just I don't want to be around someone I have such strong feelings for that doesn't even give me the time of day." I could feel the hot tears pool up behind my lids as I closed them. Before I knew it Alice's arms were wrapped around me. I wiped away my tears until I saw that Emmett was coming up here to see what was going on. "Alice I have to go. I can't be around him like this." I pleaded but the tiny little pixie that was my best friend didn't budge until Emmett was directly behind her.
"Rosalie what wrong?" His masculine voice soothed my nerves long enough for fresh tears to surface. I felt Alice's arms leave my waits only to be replaced by a pair of muscular arms that sent chills up my spine. With a whisper in my ear he pleaded. "Rose please tell me what's wrong."
I couldn't hold it in any longer. I looked up into his brown orbs, "It's you." I said softly "It's the way you say my name, the way you try to confert me when I'm sad. Emmett I have fallen for you and I can't be around someone who doesn't feel the same..." I was cut off when his soft cushiony lips crushed into mine. It felt as it I was on cloud nine, like I had died and was in heaven. The feel of the stubble that was on his chin tickled my cheek and it felt good.
He pulled back and looked into my blue pools "If you think I don't feel the same way then I have some manger convincing to do." A smile was spread across his face and mine.
A/N: OK I know I cut the game down to just a few lines. But even for a manger football fan like me, its boring to write out a whole game.
Well review and tell me what you think. I always want to know good or bad.
I hope you liked this chapter. I will try and get another one out tomorrow but no promises. I have mid-terms coming up and I do need to study.
