OK so welcome back! I actually should be in school today, but it's sports day and I'm not the sporty type so blah!
Ahh summer is so close I can almost taste it.... Oh and I thought I'd give you this little quote from Midnight Sun about Emmett and Rosalie, no spoilers I promise!
"Emmett and Rosalie were oblivious, having another one of their moments, gazing into each others' eyes with wonder..." "We were all aware of how desperately in love they were" --- AWW!!
No copyright intended blah blah...
Rose's POV
I was beginning to get frustrated. Well I would be if I could feel what I wanted.
It was only 5.30pm. Was I supposed to just lounge around for the next 12 hours, feeling unnaturally happy and calm? Jasper had given up for an hour or two, but now he was doing it again. I knew he was trying to help but it was really irritating me... Even if I couldn't feel it.
"I'm going out to the cars." I told Emmett, he loosened his arms and allowed me to stand up. I looked at him momentarily, he nodded and stood up too. I smiled slightly - Didn't even have to ask.
"I'll go too." Emmett said. He held out his hand, which I took gladly. I always felt better with my hand in Emmett's.
We left the room at a human pace - no point in rushing.
When we got outside and began to near the garage I began to feel like myself again. I felt the anger and frustration sweep back into me. If I could see Edward now... My expression hardened and Emmett's hand closed tighter around my own.
"Poor Rose."
I froze at the sound of my name. Esme's caring tone was coming from the house.
"And Emmett, I'm sure this won't be easy on either of them." Carlisle's voice came next, clear as bell from the living area.
I felt a growl catch in my chest. I didn't want their pity. We would be fine! I felt Emmett pull me further towards the garage, out of earshot of the infuriating conversation inside the house.
"It's ok Rose, they just care about us, you know that." I did know, but it still annoyed me. I let go of his hand and slipped under my convertable. It wasn't going as fast as it used to...
I picked up my spanner and began to search for the problem.
"Come on Rose, don't let this throw a spanner in the works!" Emmett chuckled, if he could have seen my face I would have rolled my eyes but instead I smiled. I loved that he could be so cheery at times like this, even without Jasper's help, we were perfect for each other. We balanced.
At the beginning it confused me greatly, how could he be so happy all the time? After what I'd done to him? I'd just taken his life away from him. If it had been anyone else it would have frustrated me endlessly but something about Emmett was and is different. It's just who he is. He's just what I need.
But sometimes he says stupid things.
"I kinda get why Edward said what he said." Emmett said thoughtfully. I slid out from under the car and glared at him. Oh, Emmett "kinda gets" why Edward would kill a baby! The spanner in my hand was now bent to the shape of my hand, anger pulsed through me.
"Come on Rose," Emmett said, eyeing the used-to-be spanner in my fist, "That th- kid might kill her from the inside!" He had almost said thing. Not helping.
"So we're just going to kill it before we even get the chance to see if it will be a normal pregnancy or not?" I seethed.
"That's not what I'm saying!" Emmett replied harshly.
"Well, it sounded like it!" My voice was beginning to get louder, "Don't you understand-"
"Rose, I understand why you're so defensive of this kid, but I need to know that it's for the right reasons!" Emmett bellowed. I stopped dead. The garage was suddenly very quiet.
I heard plenty of things, I heard a moth land on the bumper of Alice's porsche, I heard Emmett's eyes closing, but I didn't hear his breathing, it had stopped. And when I blinked I missed him leaving - but I did hear it. Apparently he'd taken my silence as the worst possible reason for defending Bella's baby.
But for all the heightened senses I had, I didn't have the sense to go after him.
The first emotion that hit me was shock, how could he think of me like that?
Then anger hit me like a ton of trucks (bricks wouldn't even begin to describe it). Did he think I just wanted my brother's wife, my sister, to die so could take her baby? I'll admit we aren't as close as we should be but... I wouldn't want that for either of my siblings, but to be an aunt! It was the closest I'd ever get...
I stood up, I was going to find that great brute of a man and slap him across the face! Shouldn't be hard, his scent was still very much fresh, even with the rain that was beginning to fall, that intoxicating scent of coconut and that amazing mixture of pleasant fragrances I still hadn't found a perfect name for was only too familiar... No, I needed to keep focus - this could be bad...
I followed him into the woods.
Ok now I'm finished this and sports day was a fortnight ago =S
I know... LAZY! - Or incredibly difficult to escape work, which is almost worse than school!
But freedom is tasting sweet and the end of the year, though slightly sad (I'm a girl at an all girls school, not seeing some of your friends for two months and some of your favourite teachers leaving for good can be pretty upsetting for us!) was overall very good!
I hope all of you are enjoying the summer! Irish summers are pretty much the same as every other season here - wet :(
OH WELL! I'm still getting in the sea!
