Alice's POV-
"Oh, Emmett, shut up," I told him angrily.
"Why should I shut up? I come into my house innocently and I see you two making out in the kitchen! Tell me how that translates to 'Emmett shut up'!" He yelled.
"At least lower your voice," I said, rolling my eyes.
He glared at Jasper and me. Becca and Bella came into the kitchen, Edward following behind him. "It's not like we were doing anything terrible," Jasper defended.
I giggled. That probably didn't help much. "Uh-oh, Emmett has gone into brother mode," Becca laughed at him.
"How would you like to see your friend and your sister in full on make out session in the room where you eat?!" Emmett fumed.
Edward glared at Jasper now too. "You know, he wasn't even the one that started the entire thing," I told them all. "I was teasing him and then yeah."
Jasper and I both shrugged. Emmett walked off into the living room. Edward followed him. "Jasper, stay here and pay for the food when it gets here. The money's on the table in the hallway," I instructed him, kissing his cheek.
Becca's POV-
Alice headed off toward her room and Bella and I followed her. I shut the door behind me and turned toward my best friend. "What was that all about?" I asked her.
"Jasper told me that he loves me," She giggled back.
The grin on her face was a mile wide. "And what did you say?" I shot back.
This didn't really come as a big surprise to me. I figured Jasper had been leading up to this a lot lately. It was about time, too. They'd been going for like an entire year. Plus, you could tell it was more than just one of those loves that everyone says that they have. It was more like a real love, like something that's really special. Again, I felt that flash of jealousy.
"I said I loved him more," she blushed lightly as she replied to my question.
Bella smiled at her from the side of the room she was standing at. "So Bella," Alice turned on her, "How are you and dear Eddie doing? You two are seriously obsessed with each other. When you're not with him, we all know you're thinking about him, and when you are with him you can't take your eyes on him. When you're not with him, and trust me this gets slightly annoying, he talks about you, asks what you're doing, ext. When he is with you, he never leaves your side. I've never seen him like that with anyone else."
Bella blushed a deep red. "He likes it when you blush," I laughed. "And when you wear anything that's the color blue. I noticed that too."
She blushed even deeper. "He loved the fashion show. He and Emmett were talking about it. Oh, Becca, Emmett said your first outfit looked sexy."
I laughed, "Sure."
"I'm not joking!" Alice defended.
I glanced at Bella. We were both thinking about the same thing. Get rid of Rose. Anyway, Bella turned her head away, still blushing. "You know," I thought out loud, "the food should be here by now. I bet you and Miss Blush over there want to get back to your boys."
Bella made her way for the door and I stepped out of the way. Alice just laid back against her bed. "What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Nothing. Everything is absolutely perfect," she sighed.
"Good," I smiled back at my best friend.
Emmett's POV-
School the next day was boring as usual. I did not, however, expect my phone to start vibrating in the middle of history class. It really disturbed my nap. I pulled the phone out of my pocket and looked. Ugh, what was Becca doing texting me in the middle of the day anyway?
Becca: Ugh. Today is seriously starting to suck. Alice won't listen, Bella is too busy thinking about Eddy, and I'm left with my lonely self
I quickly typed back: Aw, what's wrong? Don't tell me you got kicked off the cheerleading squad or something that bad! It would kill your social self…
I almost forgot what a fast texter she was. I hadn't even put my phone back in my pocket when her name popped up on the screen again.
Becca: Nothing that bad you lazy bum! No, I'm just in a rather depressed mood today. I think there's too much loveyness going around lately.
I raised an eyebrow at this and glanced around to make sure no one saw me texting. The last thing I needed was to get my phone taken away because of my younger sibling's best friend. I texted her back: Aw, that's what's got you down? Hasn't anyone asked you out lately? I mean, normally guys are like worshipping at your feet. Even guys in my grade talk about you. It's slightly scary sometimes.
Becca: Yea, sure, guys ask me out all the time. I even got a girl asking me out last week. (Talk about scary!) But there's this one guy who I like but he's seeing someone else and she's wayyy more gorgeous than me. Plus, he's way into her. I feel kind of guilty just thinking about it.
Aw, poor Becs. (And was the girl Abigal Wosikal? Ppl have been talking about her lately…) Sooo who's the lucky guy this time. (Btw, doubt she's more gorgeous than you. There are very few- and that's strictly coming from a male friend's opinion.) – I texted back.
I looked up again. Rose smiled at me and mouthed the question of who I was texting. I shrugged and mouthed Alice. She smiled. Why had I just lied to my girlfriend? Oh, yea, because she hated Becca with a passion. She had even gone so far as to tell me about it the other day.
Becca: Haha. There are many more gorgeous girls in this school. And yea, it was Abby. Keep it on the DL, though. We were friends in elementary…for a bit lol. Anyway, I can't tell u who he is! You would tell Alice. She doesn't even know!
I chuckled. : Well If Alice doesn't know, then it must be a fairly big secret. Anyway, the bell is gunna ring soon so I'll ttyl. Bye sis :P
Becca: Fine. Ttfn "big brother". Pshh. Naw you're still the teddy bear emmy.
I laughed again and put my phone away, waiting for the bell to ring.
Alice's POV-
I watched my friend text on her phone. I knew who she was texting without even asking. When everyone else refused to listen to her, she'd just turn to Emmett. We had all been ignoring her rambling today because we all knew that it was just a cover up. Becca pretended as if we couldn't see through her stupid act. She would eventually have to face the facts, though.
Ugh, it's so awkward having your two best friends in love with your brothers. I could barely stand having Bella and Edward all over each other all the time. Though, it could be sweet sometimes. They were extremely awkward together, but it was cute. They were practically made for each other.
Ugh. I missed Jasper. Why, damn it, did he have to be a year older than me? If his mother had just waited a while to get pregnant then we would be in the same classes and I would see him more than just at lunch. I fidgeted in my seat. I pulled out my phone sneakily and texted him: I miss you :(
He texted me back quickly. Hehe, always paying attention to me. Jasper: I miss you too. Only two more hours until school is over. Love you.
I giggled silently and texted him that I loved him back. I sighed and put my phone away again. This was torture.
Jasper's POV-
The two hours remaining went painfully slowly. Finally the bell rang and I shot out of the classroom. I threw my homework and such into my bag, said bye to my friends, and went down the hallway to Alice. She turned away from Becca and hugged me. "Hello, there," I chuckled, kissing the top of her head.
She picked her head up and reached on her tip toes- pecking my lips with hers. "Ugh. The day totally sucks without you."
She pulled out of the embrace to pack her bag real quick. Edward, Bella, and Becca were soon ready and we walked out to the car together. Becca was quiet, for a change, and Bella and Edward chatted quietly. I wrapped my arm around Alice's waist as we walked. She looked at me and smiled sweetly.
I had to let go, unwillingly of course, as we climbed into the car. I sat down on the far side, waiting for Alice to sit down next to me. She put her back toward the radio, stretching her legs all the way down that seat. That meant that they went over mine as well.
The ride home was rather quiet. When we were in the living room, finishing up our homework, Emmett finally snapped. "Someone, say something please!" he begged.
"I'm having a party Saturday," Becca offered, her voice still unusually quiet.
"Is Chanler going out of town?" Alice inquired.
Chanler is Becca's father. Four times a year he has to go on these super long business trips. So, four times a year Becca has blowout parties. "Yep," Becca smiled back before turning back to her homework.
Emmett's POV-
Rose hadn't come over that day because she was going shopping with one of her friends. I understood, of course, but I suddenly felt the awkwardness I was sure Becca felt when she was the only one not with someone. Of course, the other four eventually left Becca and me alone in the living room. "So, did your day get any better?" I asked.
"Nope," she smiled bitterly back. "It was still pretty shitty."
"Aw," I replied.
"Yea," was all she said back.
"Soo," I tried to start a conversation to get through the awkward silence. "The party Saturday, it's going to be great right?"
"Have I ever been known to throw a party that was less than absolutely fantabulous?" she giggled back.
I thought about that for a minute. Nope. All of her parties had been brilliant, including her fourth birthday party. Edward and I smashed her cake in her face. So, she pushed us both into the pool. Even when she was four years old that girl had a cruel side. She smiled slightly and turned away. Her hair fell
into her face as she did so. I couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked when she did that. ….Wait. Adorable? Just adorable…like a little sister can be adorable at random times…right?
Bella's POV-
Edward and I locked his door and finally got away from all the tension down stairs. "You could cut it with a knife. I wish Becca would just come out and tell Emmett how she feels," I rambled on and on.
Edward cut my off by kissing me. I blushed and pulled away. "Sorry, I'm just frustrated," I apologized quickly.
"It's alright," he shrugged. "But I didn't kiss you just because you were rambling."
I blushed deeper and had to look away from him. He always made me blush terribly. He was just too great. "I love it when you blush," he added on. That only made me blush even deeper, if that was even remotely possible.
I sat down on his bed, looking at the wall. "You know, it's not fair at all. You just have to talk to me and I blush like an idiot."
He sat down next to me and wrapped both arms around me. He kissed my cheek. "You're not an idiot."
"Yes, I am," I argued back.
"Well, I certainly disagree with that," he laughed before he kissed me again.
Alice's POV-
Oh how I liked to torture Jasper. We were in my room, of course. I was sitting on his lap, but I was completely ignoring him. Well, really, I couldn't stop thinking about him, but I pretended that I was completely absorbed in my magazine. He played with my hair as I tried to focus on the article I was reading. I could feel his gaze on me the entire time, but I didn't react. I hoped my face didn't give away anything.
He leaned his head forward and whispered, "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?"
I giggled from how his warm breath tickled my ear. I threw the magazine aside and leaned back, resting my head against him. "I think you just did."
He pressed his lips to my forehead for a moment and then went back to playing with my hair. "Why do you love me?" I asked him quietly.
He was slightly taken aback. He stopped twirling the bit of my hair and moved his entire arm down to wrap around me. "Well, first off, you're you. You're smart, gorgeous, caring, you know what to do in pretty much every single situation, you're funny, really, you're just amazing."
I blushed a little, not as much as Bella would have, but I still blushed a little. I twisted a little so I could kiss him lightly. We sat together for a while before I asked, "Don't you want to know why I love you?"
He shrugged slightly, "I don't need to know why. I'm happy just knowing that you love me."
I felt slightly guilty at those words. Was I actually being a bad girlfriend by asking that? Really, I was just curious.
Becca's POV-
It was uncomfortable, sitting alone with Emmett like that. I had the insane urge to tell him just how I felt. But no, I had to wait my turn. We had to get rid of Rosalie first. Not even I was that cruel. I wouldn't hurt Rose that badly…
But the temptation was very hard to ignore. I swear if Esme hadn't called for dinner, I would've probably had to super glue my mouth shut. When we went into the dining room, I glared at my friends. How could they have left me alone like that? I examined them. Bella was blushing, as usual, and Edward was holding her hand under the table. Jasper and Alice had scooted their chairs closer together, and Alice looked as if she was thinking hard. I wanted to be sarcastic and tell her not to hurt herself, but I didn't want to embarrass her in front of everyone. Emmett and I sat on the other side of the table, just sort of sitting there looking and feeling awkward.
Dinner past by slowly, thank god. Then, my mom came to pick me up. I said goodbye to Bella and Alice quickly, and then rushed out the door. That had to have been the most awkward time at my best friends' house ever.
