Okay, so now it's time for protective older cousin Emmett's pov! It's a good thing, too. I hate typing his name. And this chapter I don't have to! :-)
Chapter 8
Emmett's Point of View
"Stalker!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Isabella Marie Swan, since when have you had a stalker?! Forget it! I don't even wanna know. Let's get out of here." I got up and stormed out of the restaurant, straight towards the car. I could barely hear the others asking me to slow down over the anger raging through me. My baby cousin has been stalked by some wanna-be punk trying to get in her pants! The next time I see him, he is going down. What will I do to him then? I'll hang him, shoot him, give him a lethal injection, lock him in a room with Barney, use him as a baseball, drown him in a bathtub then drop in a hairdryer, chop off his head, pull out a chainsaw, rip out his heart, stuff a bomb down his throat and set it o-
"Emmett!" Bella yelled, pulling me out of my internal rant. "Its fine, he's gone. If he ever comes back, I give you permission to do whatever you want to him-," I grinned "-that doesn't involve killing him. I don't want the police involved all because a guy from school followed me home and watched me through my bedroom window."
"He did what?!" Edward and I screamed at the same time. I turned to him. The guy had just met my cousin a few hours ago, but they seemed to click. He was so overprotective of her already, it was amazing. I won't kill him yet – but I swear to God if he does anything to hurt Bella, he is going down.
"How could he do that?" I bellowed furiously.
"I don't know," Edward seethed in response, "but I swear if he gets anywhere near Bella again, he will die."
"I was just thinking the exact same thing." I agreed. I was already starting to like this guy. "From now until we leave Forks, you and I, along with Jasper, will be the only guys she sees." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my cousin roll her eyes and get in the minivan. I growled and jumped in the shotgun seat. Couldn't Bella see I was just trying to protect her? Since she doesn't have an older brother, I always tried to take up that position, even when we were little.
Edward climbed into the back seat with Bella and tried to calm her down. I watched through the rear view mirror as she turned away from him and pouted. Apparently, Alice never told him how stubborn Bella was. He'd have to learn the hard way.
Rose climbed in next to me, starting the engine. Her long blond hair was straight and simple, contrasting with her blue eyes that seemed to hold so much pain. Her skin was very pale, but seemed slightly tan compared to most people from this area. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my entire life. She was the only girl I had ever met who knew anything about cars, and the work she did on them was amazing. This engine went so fast that the normal 20 minute drive from La Bella Italia to the airport took only two minutes. Rose said she did that same thing on the RV, so it was able to go almost 200 miles per hour, and still drive smoothly. The only problem was that it seemed that she and Bella weren't very close though. I wonder how I could fix that…
"Hey guys!" I started, my previous irritation gone. "I have an idea. Who wants to pull a prank on Jasper?" Rose smirked, not taking her eyes off the road as she parked. Alice grinned, an evil glint in her green eyes. Bella gulped, probably remembering what my pranks were like a long time ago and how much worse they have gotten. Edward glanced worriedly over at Bella, but nodded in agreement. "Okay, good. Now Bella, don't be a baby. It's not like I'm pranking you again." She shuddered in response. "Now, here's the plan…"
Everything was all set. Our plan was refined to perfection, with the help of Alice and Rose. Who knew they were such evil masterminds? Bella was reluctant, probably not wanting Jasper to hate every one of us because of what we did. After a quick stop to the costume store and a check to make sure everything was ready, we went to the local Burger King drive-through and ordered food.
"I love food, oh yes I do, I love food, oh yes I do!" I sang happily, taking a huge bite out of my burger. Rose, who was sitting beside me, winced and covered her ears.
"God, Emmett, are you tone-deaf or what?" She complained loudly, grabbing a few of the French fries.
"Hey, I am allowed to sing if I really want to. This is America, the land of free will and fast food. I can do whatever I want!" I argued.
"Not with me around you can't!" She growled in response, glaring at me. I couldn't help but notice how sexy it made her look.
"Oh really? I bet I can get you to admit that I can do whatever I want with you." I challenged.
"Okay," she replied coldly, "here are the stakes: the first person to embarrass the other five times has to run around in their underwear screaming that the other person is always right. Embarrassing includes anything that makes them blush." She had no idea what she was in for. Blushing was one of the many opposites of me and Bella. She always blushes, it's almost impossible for me to. Besides, I always make an idiot of myself anyway, so what does it matter what she does? Haha, I am so going to win. Let's just hope Rose is wearing cute underwear…
"Stop it! You guys are acting like a bunch of five-year-olds," my cousin scolded. Rose and I rolled our eyes.
"Come on Bells, relax. No wonder you're going on this vacation. You really need to chill out." I commented. "I mean, come on. You have two full rides to choose from, you got straight A's all through high school, and you've never even had a boyfriend, let alone your first kiss. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of stress." I continued, ignoring the hate-filled stare she sent my way.
She rolled her eyes, a bright red blush on her cheeks. "Yeah, yeah. whatever. Just go talk to Rose."
As if I needed an excuse to.
"As you wish, my lady." I bowed awkwardly and turned to Rose. "Good afternoon, lovely. Can I ask what your name is?" I joked, taking her hand and kissing it. A light (a very very light, I might add) blush crossed her cheeks. Hah! Emmett 1, Rose 0. I am so going to win.
"Why, my name is Rosette," she smirked as I felt my face heat up at the reminder of the prank pulled on me a couple days ago. "I'd love to take you for a ride, big boy." She smiled seductively and winked. My blush deepened. God, what is wrong with me today? Suddenly, Rose leaned up and whispered in my ear, "Emmett 1, Rose 2." I blushed as she pulled away. "And now it's Rose 3," she commented and walked over to talk to Alice. I groaned.
That blond is going to be the death of me.
I'm sorry it's a day late...and really short. I had a huge standardized test all this week which almost completely fried my brain. Then, my English teacher was like, "why not make them write a short story to add to their misery?" so the rest of my creativeness was put into that. I almost passed out on Friday I was so exhausted from everything. Plus, I had a concert on Thursday. Long story short, it was a busy week.
I'll try to get Jasper's POV out today too, but I can't be sure. I'm still pretty tired. Also, I have a ton going on next week too.
Please review! It'll make my birthday seem better, since it's gonna suck! (oh and btw, almost 100 reviews! yay!)
