XXXXX Emmett's Point of View XXXX

I heard the phone ring as I contemplated scrubbing the cake tray with knife marks and mangled cake bottoms, how Rosie could ruin cupcakes is beyond me. It would be easier to buy a new one, I put it in the bin as Rosalie walked in with a worried look on her face, mouthed Jasper and handed me the phone.

I laughed, "No way babe you put him in hospital with food poisoning you go get him." She shook her head and I froze, Rose always laughs at my jokes WTF is going on? Taking the phone from her I put Jasper on speaker.

"Mate you're on speaker what's up?"

"Em I need you to do the Newton presentation solo and feed Kurt for me, I'm taking a week's leave."

I laughed shaking my head at Rosalie's serious face. "So which one are whisking away with you Jazzy, Alice or Jessica? If you ask me Jessica will put out more." I stuck my tongue out at Rose's glare.

"Fuck Emmett I'm serious! That women thinks she knows me, she doesn't know shit about me. How dare she tell me I don't know the real world, I live in it for fucks sake, of course I know it! "

Rose and I exchanged confused looks "Jazz exactly how much did you have to drink? You're not making any sense mate."

We listened as Jasper explained taking a wrong turn and buying art off a street vendor and how he wanted to commission her work, fuck I loved my friend, but he was naïve! He was babbling about how he broke some pot and ruined everyone's dinner and wanted to replace it so he offered her money. I shook my head, this chick was obviously psycho. No money can't buy everything, but he was offering to replace her pot not proposition her for the night! Overreact much!

"….then Bella said."

I froze.

"Yes, Jane called her Bella why?" Rosalie groaned and put her head in her hands.

"No reason, so yeah mate that sucks and I think a week away is a great idea. Course we'll feed Kurt, he can come stay with Aunty Rose and Uncle Em for the weed. Why don't you go back to Thailand, order some cocktails and get another Tatt, it will be good for you to unwind."

"Dammitt Emmett weren't you listening to a thing I said? Bella thinks I don't know it's like to live in the real world, and frankly I'm confused, I didn't know there was two worlds! Maybe it is time to experience "real life" as she keeps throwing at me and it appears my lifestyle isn't accomplishing that. I want to experience what she thinks I don't understand Emmett. Starting tomorrow, I'm not really sure where to go I must Google that, but I will give everything up for a week and live on the street. It doesn't look that hard and I will probably earn more money begging than I would at work! I need to show her I'm not the monster she thinks I am. I've already sent around an email telling the management group of my absence, but I need you to feed Kurt for me OK?"

He sounded so desperate that I wanted to hug him. Poor Jaz he really doesn't live in the real world, in his world there are servants and door men and your washing and fridge are magically stocked.

I sighed and rubbed my eyes "Jazz think this through, you *cough* don't know this women, you'll probably never see her again. Why does it matter what a complete stranger thinks of you?" Rose raised her eyebrows at me as she spied the cupcake tray in the bin, I mouthed I love you and she giggled.

"I don't know Em for some reason her opinion bothered me…Rose are you laughing at me?"

"No Jazzy, honestly Emmett threw out my cupcake tin, I was scolding him" Rose rushed, out mortified at the sadness in Jasper's voice.

"Thank fuck for that, don't think I could force one down ever again!" He laughed "Hey!"…"Guys, I know it sounds stupid to you but I need to do this. I can't really explain why, but it is important to me."

I looked at Rose, she sighed and she nodded her head, "Yeah Ok man, where exactly are you going Jazz?"

"I honestly don't know Em, but I'll tell you all about it in a week. I need a shower and a good night's sleep if I'm doing this tomorrow. We picked the wrong night to drink wine guys. I'll see ya in a week mate, kisses to Rosie, love you both."

I stared at the phone listening to the dial tone; Jasper was really going to do this all because of my stupid sister. I loved Jasper like a brother, but he'd lead a sheltered life. Carlisle and Esme protected him from all the bad things in the world and he'd never truly been alone. His parents staff his building of employees that he isn't even aware of! He won't last a night on the street let alone a week.

I shook my head and looked at Rosie, "Can you take a week off work babe?"
