Hey guys, it's Victoria again. I wrote this chapter awhile back but I had to wait until my partner in crime was done chapter 9 so that is why we took what seems like a very long hiatus from Welcome to High School.
- Chapter 11 is already finished and will probably be up next week.
- We're also working on both chapters 12 and 13, so keep reading! :)Twilight belongs to SMeyer and not us~ Emmetts POV
It was shortly after six o'clock in the evening when Carlisle slammed the front door behind him.
I was in the living room playing a new video game I'd bought earlier today.
It's actually so fucking awesome! You have to sneak around guards and then kill them and blow shit up, then when I get up a bunch of levels I have to kill the boss and then save the world from the artificially intelligent nanobots.
Just as I was killing a guard to steal his M Sixty, to go up a level, Carlisle walked in the room.
"Hello Emmett, how was your day, son?" he asked, interrupting my concentration.
Like, seriously? Can't he see I'm in the middle of something? The nerve of some people...
I sighed and paused my game, looking over at where he stood.
"Fine. And yours?" I replied, just wanting to get this over with as soon as possible so I can get back to my fucking game.
"Very well, son... but I need you to go get your brothers and meet me in the kitchen, we're having a family meeting"
Fuck. What had I done this time?
I simply nodded and as he walked out of the living room and down the hallway, I quickly saved my game and started up the stairs to fetch the fuckheads.
I knocked on Edward's door first and then Jasper's. Surprisingly they both opened their doors at the same time.
"What now, Emmett?" Jasper asked, followed by Edward's sighing.
"Can you make this fast?" Edward said after a moment, as I rolled my eyes.
"Listening to classical music again, Edward?" I laughed. He was such a girl sometimes.
I watched as he glared at me, his eyes trying to pierce through my body like a thousand knives.
"Family meeting. Kitchen. Now." I told them. Jasper laughed.
"What did you do this time, Emmett?"
I just smirked.
"Who knows.."
The three of us walked back down the stairs, one after the other, until we were all in the main hallway, walking down it and into the kitchen.
I saw both Carlisle and Esme sitting next to each other at the kitchen table, both supporting straight faces. I can't even imagine why a family meeting was called or what was about to go down in a few moments time...
"Take a seat boys" Carlisle said and we all exchanged glances before we sat down.
"Okay, this weekend, your mother and I will be out of town for a doctor's conference. We'll be leaving early Saturday morning and arriving back home Sunday night. You are all old enough to stay here on your own. But no monkey business!"
Sweet fucking shit! Partaaay!
"There will be no parties, no drinking, no drugs, no whatever else. The only friends you're allowed to have over are Bella and Alice... Got all that?" He asked us, and we all nodded slowly.
"Alright, good. The house is to remain in the same shape as it was when we left it, and if you break any of the rules, you will be punished" The three of us nodded again.
"Alright hunnies, that's all!" Esme smiled sweetly and nodded to us, saying we were now able to leave the table.
Wouldn't this be a fucking awesome weekend? A party, drinking, lots of drugs. Fuck yeah!
I grinned and stood up, stretching for a moment before walking down the hall and back into the living room, leaving Jasper and Edward. They were probably still sitting at the table. Probably real confused too, like the dumb asses they were.
I walked down the hallway and up the stairs. Fuck the video game, I had party plans to make.
I rushed into my bedroom and shut the door behind me as I raced to the computer.
Now, how did I want to go about this? Invite people by word of mouth, message people on MySpace, or send out a mass email?
Email it was. I grinned and double clicked on the email icon on the desktop.
Now, who to send the email to? Alice. Bella. Mike. Should I invite Rosalie or not? I sighed. Oh well, B and Rose could pretend to get along for one night, right?
Now, should I invite Jessica and Lauren, too? I thought about it for a minute. Fuck yeah. The more chicks the better.
"Dear peoples, party at the Cullen house this Friday. 7pm. You all better be there, it'll be fucking awesome! -Emmett"
I pressed send and it sent to Bella, Mike, Alice, Tyler, Rosalie, Eric, Jessica and Lauren. Now to tell the brothers...
I opened AIM because I was too lazy to go fucking find them again.
I clicked on both of their screen names and added the three of us into a group chat type thing.
Jasper has been added into this chat.
Edward has been added into this chat.
Emmett: Operation: Party, is now in full swing
Emmett has left this chat.
Satisfied, I closed it and kicked my feet up on the computer desk. Bliss.
* * * * * * * * * *
Friday went by very slowly. The bell rang and the school day was finally over. Thank fucking god. I walked outside to the parking lot, our normal hang out spot. Bella and Mike were already there, leaning up against the cars. Talking, probably.
"Hey man," Mike said as I approached them.
"What's up?" I leaned against my car.
"You coming to the party tomorrow night?" I asked. Mike nodded.
"Bella?"
I raised an eyebrow at her, wondering why she was being so fucking quiet, when I looked across the parking lot, Edward was walking this way. I sighed.
"Huh? What? Oh. Yeah, of course" Bella said, averting her eyes and looking at her feet.
"Bells, chill. Seriously" She looked up and glared at me.
"I don't know why you go all quiet and shit when he's around anyways?"
"Ohh. Bella's got a crush on Edward?" Mike asked, in a teasing sort of way.
Bella looked as if she was going to murder us both with her bare hands.
"Shut the fuck up, both of you. Now" She spat, right as Edward walked over and stood beside me.
"Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?" He asked Bella, who only grunted and stormed off. We all watched as she proceeded to get into my truck.
"It's probably her time of the month, or some shit?" I offered, turning to look at my brother.
"I'd say," he said as I chuckled and went and got in my truck as well, turning it on and proceeding to roll the windows down to talk to Edward before I drove off.
"Can you wait for Jasper? Oh. And drive Alice home too if you see her. Clearly Bella wants to leave now, so I can't wait for them..." I smirked at Bella, who in turn just rolled her eyes at me.
"Yeah, sure. I guess I could do that"
"Alright, awesome" I said quickly - slurred, if you will - as I raced off, out of the parking lot.
All in all, the car ride home was very quiet. I didn't really have much to say to Bella. I mean, what could we talk about? My brain was only filled with party information at this point.
Ahhh, tomorrow night is the party. Excitement, much? I wonder if we should decorate a bit. Nah.
But maybe we should move some expensive stuff into Esme and Carlisle's room.
I wouldn't want anything to get broken and then get blamed, because that would mean that the parental units would find out about my little party plans.
"So Bella, you're coming tomorrow night. Right?" I asked her, glancing over at her momentarily trying not to take my eyes off the road too much.
Who would want to get into a car accident on a Friday? Especially the night before you're throwing a huge ass party.
"Yes, Emmett. I wouldn't miss it for the world," she replied in that snarky tone of hers.
I sighed and changed lanes because the assholes in front of me were going slow as hell.
"Mmm, that's good. I mean, what's a party without Bella Swan, right?" I said, grinning at her as we stopped at the lights, waiting for the light to change back to green again.
The light changed to green and we were off. My car raced down the road, leaving everyone else in the dust.
"Slow the fuck down, Emmett. Jesus, what are you trying to do, kill us?" Bella screamed at me. I heard her sigh too and mutter something else under her breath that I didn't hear.
"Oh Bells, you're such a Debbie Downer. Sit back and enjoy the ride, why don'tcha?" I said, grinning from ear to ear.
I loved driving fast. It was an adrenaline rush and I lived for this sort of thing. It was like my happy place or something.
"If you like driving so god damn fast, why don't you go be a drag racer or whatever it's called" Bella said, her tone very angry. I sighed and slowed down a bit as I turned onto Bella's street.
"That's not a bad idea, actually. I'll think about it. Maybe you should do a bit of research for me, yes?" I said, half jokingly.
"Oh yeah, you're going to your house, right?" I asked, as we were already half way down her street.
"Yeah, sure. Whatever gets me out of this car fast enough."
I chuckled as I stopped in front of her house and parked the car.
"You probably secretly liked driving fast. You just won't admit it." I watched her undo her seatbelt and grab her bag off the floor.
"Yeah, that's it Emmett," she said, opening her door and getting out. "Goodbye"
"You're welcome!" I called after her, as she slammed the car door. I took the car out of park and started driving off towards my own house.
* * * * * * * * * *
Once I got home, I immediately got out of the car and went straight into the house and up to my room.
I needed to think up a plan for tomorrow morning. A list of shit that needed to be done and stuff.
I shut my bedroom door behind me and went to sit down at my computer chair at my desk.
I opened my laptop, signed into AIM and opened Microsoft Word as well.
1. Clean this place up
2. Get food
3. Get alcohol.
4. Get some E and weed and whatever else is needed
5. Move all the shit out of the main areas and into parent's bedroom.
6. Esme and Carlisle's bedroom is off limits.
7. Music system. Figure it out.
Alright.
I think that's a good enough list. I tried to think if there was anything else. Oh. Someone would have to pick up Bella tomorrow morning. I guess Jasper could do that. He could pick up Alice on the way, too. Hmm. We're going to have to come up with a plan to trick the parental units.
Like tonight, instead of going out, we're going to have to be on our best behaviour.
Me and Jasper could be playing video games in the living room. Make it obvious. Edward could stay in his room, like he always is. Probably updating his journal or something. I laughed to myself. Edward was such a pansy.
I tried to think if there was any more party prep that needed to be done. I sighed. I couldn't really think of anything else.
Maybe I'll call Bella after and ask her to help me or something. I nodded, yes, that would be good.
She's a girl, and well girls have more brains than guys apparently. Or they just know how to use them better or something.
I don't know. Shit's fucked up.
I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and looked up Bella's number. I pressed the green phone icon and it started dialling.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
She picked up the phone but before she could say hello, I interrupted her. Just like Kanye West did to Taylor Swift.
"Hey Bells. I need your help in regards to tomorrow night" I heard a light sigh.
"With what, Emmett?" I thought for a second. Maybe it would just be easier for me to go over there right now, so she could help me plan this.
"I'm coming over now; I need to borrow your brain. Okay, I will see you in a few minutes. Bye!" I hung up the phone before she could say another word. I took off out of my bedroom and down the stairs to the front entrance.
My shoes were still on my feet from when I arrived home only a few minutes before. Good. That means I didn't have to waste any time putting those damn things on.
I ran outside, slamming the door behind me and ran across the lawn to my car. I felt like the road runner or something, running that fast.
It was like I had super powers or something. Jasper would have been jealous. Oh right. Jasper. I hope Edward got him and Alice. Oops.
I wouldn't even be home when they got there. Oh well. Sucks to be them for taking so long to get out of that damn hell hole they call school.
Bella was probably so confused with that short phone call we just had. But that's okay. I'd be at her house in a few minutes anyway.
I will just explain it to her then. Driving there was rather dull. There was no one to talk to, and no good music was playing on the radio.
Sighing, I just drove there as quickly as I could. I parked outside her house and turned off the car.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and slipped the keys in my pocket. I opened my door and got out, locking it from the inside and then shut it behind me.
I walked up to the front door and just walked in. I didn't bother knocking. This was like my second home anyways.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Bells?" I called out, wondering where she was, as I didn't hear the television on in the living room and no one appeared to be in the kitchen.
"Up here, Emmett!" I hear faintly coming from upstairs. I took off my shoes and shut the front door, running up the stairs as quickly as I could.
I found Bella in her bedroom, sitting on her bed, staring out the window. She was such a fucking weirdo sometimes.
"Hey Bells. So, I need your help." She nodded slightly and turned to face me.
"Okay, with what?" she asked.
"Well, with the party plans and such. I figured that since you're a girl you'd be of better help then Jasper or Edward." She laughed.
"Yeah, I guess so then. What's up?"
I walked across the room, got her computer chair and turned it around so it was facing her bed. I sat down in it.
"So, I sent out invites and stuff, and I made a list of what needs to get done tomorrow... But like, is there anything else I need to do? I can't really think of anything. So I was wondering if you could help and shit?"
She laid back against her pillow and was quiet for a moment before asking what exactly was on the list.
"Well, we need some food, alcohol, drugs, and the main areas need to get cleaned up. Oh and we'll need to move some of the expensive stuff into Carlisle's bedroom, which is going to be totally off limits"
She nodded.
"Alright then. So how many people are you expecting to show up?"
I thought about it.
"Well us. Jasper and Edward, obviously. Mike said he was coming for sure. Alice will be there. And probably Lauren, Jessica and Eric. I think that's everyone.. Oh, maybe Tyler too"
Bella nodded. "Alright. Well, we shouldn't need too much food. I mean, people should eat before they come over. So what were you thinking about getting, food-wise?"
I thought about the question, not really sure of the answer.
"I have no idea, really. What do you think?" I asked, looking out the window at the passing car. "Hmm. finger foods. So like, chips, wings, stuff like that."
I got a piece of paper from Bella's printer and a pen off her desk and quickly jotted this shit down. So, we got the types of food down. The people. Alcohol. What types or kinds of alcohol?
Beer was a must. But what else? Maybe Bella would know what's popular with everyone else.
"What kind of alcohol, Bells?" I asked, looking up from my paper.
"Beer, vodka, mixes to mix with the vodka and like those fruity coolers." I nodded and wrote everything down.
"Oh, and I have some gin I can bring over too" Bella said, getting up off her bed and leaving the room, returning just a few seconds later with an almost untouched bottle of gin.
She placed it on the computer desk beside me and then returned to her spot on the bed where she rested before.
"Alright, thanks. And what about drug wise?" I asked, "I was thinking E and some weed."
"Hmm. I think just E, because if people smoke in the house, it's going to make everything smell and Carlisle and Esme will find out about everything. So yeah, no. Not a good idea." I smiled widely at her.
"See! That's why I needed your brain!"
I saw her shake her head.
"It's common knowledge, Emmett. Obviously the smoke smell won't go away in 5 minutes. It would seep into your clothes and furniture and everything." I nodded.
"Right, right, So just E then?" I wrote it down under the list of alcoholic beverages we needed to pick up either tonight or tomorrow morning.
"Hey Emmett," Bella said, staring out the window at the tree outside.
"What if you boys spent the night here? We could pick up all the shit we need for tomorrow and keep it here instead of you having to bring it back to your house. That way your parents wouldn't find out about anything or catch you guys with some drugs or alcohol."
Without even thinking it over too much, I agreed. Bella was always thinking ahead. I sort of admired her for that. It came in handy at times like these.
"Sounds fucking brilliant" I said, putting the list into my pocket. I turned around in the chair and clicked on Bella's computer mouse to wake it up so I could check the clock. It was 4.30pm now.
"Alright. So did you want to go with me now to get some stuff?" I asked, standing up and pushing the chair back into its place in front of the computer desk. I turned to face Bells, waiting for a response.
"Yeah, sure." she said quietly as I watched her get up and walk across the room to her closet. She grabbed her wallet and phone off her dresser and then stood by the door, waiting for me.
I followed her into the hallway and down the stairs where we both put our shoes on and went outside.
I continued to walk to my car while Bella locked her house. I unlocked the car and opened the driver's side door, getting in and shutting it behind me.
I started the car and put on my seatbelt before Bella even had her door opened. I sighed and waited for her.
She got in and shut it, putting on her seatbelt rather quickly.
"So, where to first?" she asked. I pulled the list out of my pocket and looked it over.
"Well, we could get the alcohol first" I said, passing the list over to Bella to hold on to while I drove off down the road.
It didn't take too long to get there, but when we did I parked the car outside the 7-11 and then turned it off.
In order to get the alcohol we wanted we had to go to see Jim who works at the 7-11 store not far from the house.
Unfortunately, in this small shit hole of a town everyone knows everyone pretty much, so since we were all underage we couldn't go buy alcohol without our parents finding out.
Which is where Jim comes in; he is a good friend of mine and will go pick up our alcoholic needs from the store for us, as long as we watch over his store while he is out.
He is definitely a cool guy. Not once during all these trips to get him to get us alcohol has he told on us.
Which deserves some serious respect right there.
Even though he happens to be in his thirties with a small kid of his own, he knows what it was like to be a teenager and party it up on the weekends.
* * * * * * * * * *
We both got out of the car, walked to the front entrance and went inside. I locked my car doors with the key fob as I let the store door fall shut behind me.
"Hey Jim buddy! What is up?" I called out from across the store as Bella wondered around. I proceeded to walk up to the front desk where the cast register was located at.
"Hey man, not a lot. Slow day really. What is up man?" I nodded.
"Cool cool. I was just wondering if you'd do a run for us. Got an event tomorrow night" I explained, not using details in the event that someone else who was in the store might possibly be listening in, something which I didn't want to happen.
"Oh, I see. Yeah, I could do that for ya. Go in the back and write down what size on a piece of paper by the desk so I do not forget." By size, he meant go write down all the shit we needed him to pick up.
I nodded, walked behind the counter and into the back room. I got a piece of white paper from the desk and scribbled down our order for him.
I placed the paper on the desk, placing the bills of money in the centre and then folding the paper around the bills like an envelope. I did that so no one would be suspicious or anything, someone seeing me handing Jim money with a piece of paper with stuff written on it would be a bit sketchy. This way, no one would know.
Jim took the envelope from me and slipped it into his pocket. He nodded and walked out from behind the counter.
"Watch over the store while I am gone," he mumbled under his breath as he exited the store.
I watched him get into his car and then drive off. Sitting down on the little wooden stool that was sitting behind the counter, I rested my elbow on the counter, letting my chin find its way to rest on my palm. I sighed.
The store was completely empty besides Bella and me.
I watched Bella, studied her face as she picked up random items to read the packaging. I watched her facial expressions.
They were so funny. Bella had some of the best facial expressions ever. She does this funny thing with her eyebrows, it almost looks as if her eyebrows are doing the worm or something.
If my eyebrows did that when I talked, I would be looking in the mirror a lot more than I do now. I would just sit there and watch them.
"Yo Bells, I am hungry. Want to go to the pancake house after this?" I asked, my stomach grumbling. Even though I had eaten a big lunch only two hours before now.
I sat up straight, kicking my legs up on top of a box that was sitting under the counter. Ahh, relaxation.
"I don't know, Em. I am not that hungry, really," she said, not even glancing over at me, too interested in looking at all the different types of items that were on display on the many shelves. I sighed.
"Please Bells, I'm really hungry," I explained, hoping that she would change her mind.
"Alright Emmett, I guess we could stop there for a little while after this," she said, "but remember that we still need to go get food and stuff as well"
It did not take long for Jim to return with the stuff. Only about 10 minutes or so.
It was in a disguised brown bag, so hopefully nobody would be too suspicious.
As he entered the store Bella and I met him by the store door. I took the bag from him.
"Thanks, man" I said, and he simply nodded and passed me, returning to his stop at the cash register area.
We walked out of the store and to the car. I popped the trunk and put the stuff in there instead of just having it in the car where someone would be able to see it.
Bella got in before I could even close the trunk. Maybe she was looking forward to eating at the pancake house? I know I sure as hell was.
Mmm. Their food is so good. I love pancakes so much. Pancakes and bacon. That is what I was going to get.
And I would probably eat the remainders off of Bella's plate as well. Or whatever she wasn't planning on eating.
I could feel the drool oozing out of my mouth. So looking forward to eating in a few minutes.
I shut the trunk after I assured myself that the stuff would not fall over and break somewhere in between now and going home.
I walked around the side of the car, opened the driver's side door and got in, shutting it behind me.
I started the car and did up my seat belt. Bella already was to be buckled in.
"All set?" I asked, glancing over at her.
"Yeah," she mumbled quietly under her breath. Hmm, I wonder what was wrong with her. She got all moody and stuff all of a sudden.
Maybe she was just hungry. Oh well, that would be fixed soon as the pancake house
place was only about 7 minutes away from here. I backed out of the parking spot and stepped slowly on the gas.
* * * * * * * * * *
I pulled the car out of the parking lot and onto the main road, taking off down the street as soon as I hit the pavement. Ahhh, such bliss.
The car ride was quiet. Too quiet. It was kind of bugging me. Really bugging me, actually. Bella was so quiet today, and I do not know why.
Normally she talked a bit more then she was now. It kind of made me worry and wonder a bit as to why she was not her normal self today.
I turned on the radio, breaking the thick tension and silence that existed in this car.
It just so happened that the song birthday sex was playing. Such a great song. I mean, who does not like birthday sex?
Everyone likes birthday sex. I have never met anyone who did not. Well, unless they were a virgin or something, but there are not too many of those these days. They are like dinosaurs, really. Extinct.
I chuckled lightly, I cracked myself up sometimes. Like, who comes up with this shit? My mind is a fucking brilliant place, I swear.
We were almost there. I took a left turn and then it was just 10 seconds down the road. 9, 8, 7. We were so close now. 5, 4, 3. I could smell it. 2, 1.
I parked the car and turned it off, unbuckling my seatbelt and getting out as fast as I could. I shut my door as I walked around the other side of the car, waiting for Bella.
As soon as she got out too I pressed the lock doors button on the key fob and started to walk towards the front entrance of the little restaurant café thing. Bliss.
This was going to be the meal of all meals. I have not eaten at the pancake house in months. It had really been too long.
Actually, the last time I was here I think it was with Jasper and Edward. Those nerdfaces. I opened the door, waiting for Bella to hurry up and get over here.
She actually walked so slow, it was like she was not even one ounce of excited about this meal we were about to embark on. I know I was sure as hell excited. She walked in the door and I followed after her.
As we stood at the little podium it felt like we stood there for ages. Talk about boring. The waitress or whoever seemed like she was actually taking eight years. I sighed.
"Hungry yet, Bells?" I asked, glancing to my right to look at her.
"Yeah, I guess," she said, shrugging slightly. Way to be a party pooper, Bella. Like, you could show a bit of excitement, could you not?
I sighed and smiled at the waitress as she walked towards us.
"Two," I told her, before she could even ask the famous question of how many people.
"Booth please." She nodded lightly and told her to follow us, and we did. Almost like little ducklings following their mother. I chuckled under my breath.
The aroma of pancakes hit my nose as soon as we walked past the kitchen doors, that sweet, sweet smell. I could feel my stomach growling already. Yum. I smiled and sat down on one side of the table, as Bella sat at the other.
I opened the menu and looked it over, even though I already knew what I was going to order. What I always got of course. The famous pancakes and bacon combo. Yay. After a few moments, I looked up at Bella, who was still reading her menu.
"Did you decide what you are going to order yet?" I asked her, while closing my menu.
"Yeah, I think so," she mumbled, still reading what was listed on the menu.
"What are you getting then?" I asked her, doubting she actually knew what she was going to order.
"Well, pancakes, duh. This is the pancake house, is it not?" She asked in that snarky tone of hers that she gets sometimes. I watched as she looked up from her menu and raised an eyebrow at me.
Touché, Bella, touché. You get this point, but you will not be so fucking lucky next time.
"But yeah, I am going to get pancakes. Chocolate chip pancakes. And an orange and strawberry smoothie, because, well, they rock here."
"Huh, good choice Bells" I said, then proceeded to make slight eye contact across the room with the waitress, letting her know that we were ready to order what we wanted.
A few moments later, she appeared at our table, notebook in hand.
"Y'all ready to order?" she asked, looking at me.
"Yep. Bella?" I said, smiling at the waitress.
"I will have an order of pancakes, a side order of ham and an orange, banana, strawberry smoothie" Bella told her.
"And I will have an order of pancakes, a side order of bacon and a coke" I finished, then looked up at the waitress from where I was sitting.
I watched as she scribbled everything down on her notepad thing and nodded to herself.
"That everything?" She asked in that fucking sexy ass accent of hers.
"Yeah, that is all," I said, as she winked at me and walked away.
"Gag me" Bella said.
"Shut up Bells, you are just jealous" I leaned back, resting my back against the back of the booth, watching as Bella let out a laugh.
"On the contrary, darlin'" She said, as I stuck out my tongue at her. "Real mature, Emmett"
It did not take long for the waitress to bring our food out. As soon as she set it on the table I started drooling again.
The scent that was coming off these pancakes was such a sweet, sweet thing. I could not help but drool. The scent, so crisp and sweet.
"Enjoy," she said, walking away. I nodded and grabbed my fork, not bothering to even cut the pancake with the knife, but instead just stabbed it in the middle and started to eat around the fork.
"Emmett, please. We are in public you know," I heard Bella say, but my stomach was talking louder than Bella was. So of course she got overruled. I mean, who has time to cut shit up when they are this hungry. Plus we are talking pancakes here. Pancakes! My god.
I sighed after I finished my first pancake. I looked at Bella, who was gracefully cutting up her pancakes and ham. I shook my head. Amateurs. I chuckled lightly to myself before taking a gulp of my coke.
Opinions or suggestions welcome :)!
