Chapter 8 Family is Embarrassing

Emmett POV

I was woken up by the sound of yelling at the bottom of the stars I don't know why but it sounded like mom and dad were arguing about something. Buth they didn't argue and even when they did pops made sure none of us were in the house. I crept down the stairs in silence it was my best chance of hearing what they were saying. Both of them were talking so fast and quietly that it was hard for me to follow on. They must have had a lot of practice doing that since they turned Edward.

"That's not what I'm saying I know, what we agreed on but do you really think that it's in his best interest to go through with this." I didn't really understand the settee or the context of the situation but I know what mom said gave dad pause. Minute of silence stretched on as he tried to figure out the best way to respond.

"Yes I do and I don't appreciate the fact that you are suddenly backing out. We had a deal now I expect you to follow through. It could have been a lot worse and you know that."

I heard my father harsh and unfeeling tone, what were they making me do that mom wanted to back out on. Why did they see what happened yesterday was such a big deal? I ran up the stairs only to see Rose sitting up in the bed. Giving me the side eye like she knew that I had just done something that I shouldn't. But I pushed her gaze to the side and walked or to my dresser looking for something to wear.

"What did you hear." I rolled my eyes at her frank question before slipping on a pair of jeans and a white long sleeves shirt. Wrapping the family created on my wrist as I looked intently at myself in the mirror making sure that my eyes were still gold before running down the stairs.

I could hear them talking but this time it was more a normal human pace but they were still talking about something serious. It would be best not to interrupt them but I wanted to know what they were talking about. But would it really be smart of me to get caught spying on them, I took in a deep breath when I was about to talk into the living room. "Emmett we would like to talk to you in the kitchen."

When I opened my eye there was my mother standing in front of me, her arms folded behind her back as she poked her head around the corner. This gentle and worried look in her gold eyes. I could tell by the way that her lips quiver when she tried to give me a smile that something was wrong. She wasn't any more happy about this then me and whatever it is it could be good for her to disagree with dad.

I snapped to attention when her brow furrows at me, I must not have moved at all or none recognize that she was there. I took in a deep breath even though I didn't need to before walking into the kitchen. What kind of madness could he have possibly cooked up this time? I moved into the kitchen as slow as humanly possible. As I caught my father gaze I had to resist running out the room, I was a ball of nerves and the cold angry gaze he was giving me.

I just don't understand how in one breath you can thank me for saying your daughter, my wife. Then in the other, you can say that I failed the family and now I was getting my ass kicked. I started that fight was because my wife his daughter was being assaulted and insulted. "Your mother and I have agreed." I heard mom clear her throat at dad's statement like she was arguing with him without having to say anything.

"I have decided that the whipping isn't going to be enough so along with being grounded and your mother will also be driving you to school every day. Till I know that you aren't going cause any more problems at school. Rose will drive alone with Edward and Alice, and Jasper. Got that now head of school early to apologize to the Newtown boy." I scoffed at him, he really thought taking my jeep away would change anything.

I sneer at him before looking at mom that who had this pleading face, like she just wanted me to agree to it peaceful. I don't know why what could he possibly do. "No, are we done here." I looked at the aggravated sneer that formed on his face. His golden eyes turning tarr black as his vampire nature threatened to take over. "I figured you would say that, so every time from this moment on that you disobey me is another day that you don't hunt. That's one do you want to go for two?"

I felt this weird spark in my chest as a surge of anger and indignation formed deep in my heart who the hell was he to take hunting away from me. Did that mean no blood in general or just hunting? "You can't be serious this is bullshit." I snarled at him and he was in front of me in a second. I didn't even see him move "That's three days you want to go for 5 please say something else because once you do I'm going to throw a beating in there too and I'm not talking about the belt."

I scoffed at him, taking in the deep seeded anger in his black eyes that were slowly turning back to gold. The angry frown on his face and the way that his body tensed every time I shifted my weight. Almost as if the thought that I was going to attack him. I scoffed that sentence was downright laughable sure I was calling him out but that was only because he was being a dick.I had no interest in being coven leader.

I walk away not saying a word to him, simply going into the living room and grabbing my bag slinging it over my shoulder as I slowly shuffled out of the house. This had to be the worst week of my life no hunting, no fun, no car. Just school that I have been to a thousand of times already, really it's like they wanted me to walk into a wolf den and say give me your worse. I sighed heavily as I collapsed into the plush leather of my mother sliver sedan. I wasn't even planning on speaking to anyone when dad knocked on the window.

I glared angrily at him but rolled down the window ignoring the stuffy heat of the car to look at him. "No bye, no I love you." I scoffed at him "That would be a lie, and I wouldn't want it to get yelled at for that too. We are done here I have 8 hours of school to suffer through." I rolled up my window at the shocked look on his face, I could tell that he wanted to pull me out of the car and demand why I would say such a thing but I wouldn't even look at him. I stared directly out the front wind while waiting for my mother. Fuck this shit.

As the car door slammed shut I didn't even hear my mother sitting in the car but as it moved I had to assume that it was her. I let out a huff of air out of irritation and laid my head gently back on the seat. Taking in the smell of leather as I closed my eyes slowly. "Dear what you said to your father no matter how angry, wasn't right." I sighed her voice was hurt, by being spiteful to him I hurt her. I knew that if I looked in her eyes at this exact moment there would be venom tears.

I took in a deep breath as she counters to tell me how shitty of a son I was to the both of them, "I don't agree with any of it, you were protecting Rose and I understand that which is why I didn't have a problem in a lecture and calling it a day. But your father is convinced that this would lead to a bigger rebellion that could cost you, your life down the road." I scoffed at that statement I wouldn't endanger my life it means too much to me. "Emmy look at me."

The car titled to a stop, when I opened my eyes I could see the school a few inches from where my mother had parked the car. I looked over to my mother her gentle voice, moving my head without my consent. I was right though there were a few venom tears streaming down her face. I sighed and gently lifted my hand wiping away the few tears that escape her eyes. "Ma please don't cry, I will apologize to dad okay. I'll call him after I deal with the Newton boy then I will apologize again in person. Just please don't cry."

She gave me a sad smile before placing a gentle hand on my face, it should have been cold but it also felt warm to me. This loving and caring look in her eyes told me that she believed every word that I was saying and was touched by my words. "Thank you, now get going, bear" I smiled and nodded my head before jumping out of the car that was going to be a long day.
