Chapter 10 – Birthday/Halloween Party Part 2
POV: Rose

"Easy way. You walk out of my house and never come in contact with me again. If you see me walking down the hall, you turn and go the other way."

"And the hard way?"
"Hard way is I let my cousin here have his way with you. Which I know will be very gruesome, considering he has that butterfly. After that the rest of the family has their way with you. There's no tellings what evil they could come up with in those heads of theirs. When they're done with you then my husband gets a turn." I stated as I looked over my right shoulder at Emmett as he walked up behind me. I looked back to Royce then. "Now I know Emmett here could kill a bear with his bare hands. So trust me when I say, you want to take the easy way." I waited letting it sink in his head. "So which is it going to be?"

"So if I pick the easy way you're not going to hurt me right?"
"I won't." I waited a second. "But I don't know about these guys."
"What do you mean?"

"I mean I won't do anything to you tonight. I could probably keep them from hurting you too. But…I swear to you right now on my mother's grave, if you so much as look at me the wrong way at school, cross my path in any way whether it be at school or on the street, you will pay. You and your boys. I'm telling you Royce, I don't want you or your boys anywhere near me or Emmett, our cars or our houses. Because if you do, you won't have to deal with just Emmett."

Matt spoke up then, "You'll have to deal with us. Granted you're only seventeen right now. But it aint nuttin' for us to wait a few months 'til your birthday."

His eyes got wide. "First off how do you know when my birthday is? Second why would you wait 'til I was eighteen?"

Johnny answered his first question. "Ro told us when your birthday was idiot. Plus not that hard to look on facebook to find out."

Arin spoke for the second part. "Plus when you turn eighteen you become legal. Which means we…" He looked around at the other band members and the wives, "could jump your ass and not get grilled for hurting a minor."

"So like I said, which one is it going to be?" I asked again getting impatient.

"Easy way." I saw Arin and Johnny tighten their grip. "I won't do anything and I'll tell the boys to leave ya'll alone."

Syn stepped away from my side and up in front of Royce. The butterfly knife was still in his hand. With quick reflexes he had the knife just inches from Royce's face. Which scared Royce enough to make him jerk away and hit his head against the wall. "If you even think about hurting my cousin, you or your boys, you best believe that my little buddy right here…" He swayed the knife back and forth to show who he was talking about. "is going to have a field day. There will be bloodshed, and you will be the first one that he sees. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yeah."

The skank Jessica pushed through the circle of onlookers then and had the nerve to speak.

"Royce what's going on?"
"Stay out of this Jess."
"No. There are two guys holding you and another with a knife in your face."
"I said stay out of it. Don't worry."

Jessica looked over to me while dressed in a slutty school girl uniform. "What are you doing to him?"
I looked back to Royce. "You brought the bitch with you?"
"Not really. She tagged along. She was supposed to stay home. She don't listen to anything."
"Tell you what add the skank to the list too. You know what will happen if you break this agreement."
"What agreement?" She asked confused.

I had had enough of her mouth. "Jessica shut up!"
"Who do you think you are telling me to shut up?"
"Let's see you're in my house…" I stated while leaving Matt's side and walking up to her.
"This isn't your house. It's Emmett's."

I held up my engagement ring to her face. "See this? This means what's mine is his, and what's his is mine. So like I said, you're in MY house. This is MY party and I didn't invite neither of your asses. So get the fuck out before I call the cops." I was fuming by this point. Everything about this girl pissed me off. But what made it worse was when she didn't move. "Do I need to brake your nose too like I did Royce? 'Cause I don't have a problem with that."

"You're just mad 'cause I took Royce away from you." The smart ass remark creeping out of her mouth.

I didn't think. Before I knew it my right fist was in contact with her face. I had to set the record straight here and now.

"First off I'm not mad about that. You actually helped me out. Because of you sleeping with him behind my back, I got out of a bad relationship. But I gained a new friend, boyfriend, and future husband." I looked back to Emmett who smiled at me, that in turn got me to smile. I turned back to Jessica. "Royce was pissed 'cause I wouldn't sleep with him. Yeah I wouldn't 'cause he wasn't the right one for me, and you're just pissed off because you didn't get your hands on Emmett. Well here's a news flash for ya, no one wants to be with someone that's fucked three quarters of the school's guys."

She didn't have anything to say. While her jaw was dropped wide open, I spoke again. "Baby…" I looked back to Emmett. "want to help me take the trash out?"

"Don't worry Emmett. We got this." That would be Val, Matt's wife.

Val and her twin sister Michelle, who was also Syn's wife, grabbed Jessica by the arms. The same way Arin and Johnny had Royce. All four walked Royce and Jessica out the front door. When Val came back in wiping her hands clean I couldn't help but ask.

"What was…" I mimicked her, "that for?"
"'Cause I really took the trash out. Threw the bitch down the front steps."
"I knew there was a reason I loved you Val." I said while walking up and giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"'Iite babe back off my woman." Matt stated while walking up beside us and pulling Val into his side.
"You good. Now what are you guys doing here? I thought you would be touring."

Johnny, Arin and Michelle walked back up to us then.

"Well we've missed your birthday almost every year since we went big." Matt started.
"So we decided to take a vacation. Starting tonight we've got two weeks to do whatever. Emmett gave us the idea to come up tonight because there's a surprise for you. We wanted to be here when you got it. Plus we're gonna hang out with ya for the two weeks." Syn finished.

I looked to Emmett who walked up beside me. "Are you for real?"
"Yes."
"What surprise is he talking about Emmett?"
"You'll find out here in a minute."
"Everyone head out! You know where to go! Take the side door in the kitchen!" That would be Alice and her loud mouth.

With that command everyone headed to the kitchen. Emmett made us the last ones out for some reason. We waited in the kitchen against the fridge for a few minutes.

"I hope you're not made at me." He stated while pulling me to him by my hips.
"Why would I be mad at you?" My arms wrapping around his neck as I spoke.
"'Cause this was Alice's idea."
"What? The party? I know that."
"Not just the party, what you're about to see."
"Will I like it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I think you will."
"Okay. So I won't have to have you kill anybody?"
"Could kill Royce and Jessica."
"If he screws up, I might let you."
"Sweet. 'Cause I hate him."
"Same here."
"Alright time to go."
"Go where?"
"You'll see in a minute. Now close your eyes."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes. Unless you want to hear Alice fuss the rest of the night?"
"That would be a no."
"Kay. Then shut them."

I did as I was told. Emmett took my hand and pulled me this way and that way. I knew we had went outside because I could smell the pine trees and grass plus hear frogs and crickets. But all of that stopped. Which meant that we were in another building but where? We hadn't went that far from the house. Maybe we were in one of the garages? After coming to stand still, Emmett spoke in my left ear.

"Open 'em." His hot breath heating the skin on my neck.

When I opened my eyes all I heard was "Surprise!" I was speechless. Just for the fact that I didn't have a clue that this was going on. Alice must have done this without me knowing. That sneaky hooch. At that point Alice skipped over and gave me a hug.

"I should kill you." I stated in her ear.
"But you won't. I've seen it."
"Thank you." I said with a laugh.

I looked around at what all had been done. From the trim molding on the ceiling, table cloths in baby blue, lime green, a metallic silver and neon purple had been alternated and strung from the trim to the center of the ceiling. In the middle where all the table cloths met, there was a cluster of the same color balloons, along with the same color ribbon to make a center piece. In the front left corner of the room, near the garage door, there was an eight-foot tall robot made of paper mache. I would know that one robot from anywhere. Gir from Invader Zim.

When I looked at the back counter that was connect to the wall, Alice had the same color scheme going. On the left side there were different sized boxes and bags that covered to the middle of the table, along with a pile of the floor. On the right half there were all kinds of sweets. Like Alice's coffin of candy wasn't enough.

There was a birthday cake in the middle of the right side. Five layers for the cake with a dog version of Gir on top. The first layer was a baby blue with white stars. The second was a neon purple background with different sized orange polka dots. The third was a pink background with teal stripes. The fourth and fifth copied the top two layers. Around the bottom layer were seventeen candles. All different colors, lit and all with different colored flames.

To the right there were cup cakes. Black, blue, green and purple iced the tops. To the left there were brownies, tubs of ice cream, different cookies too. My favorite being Newton's fruit thins with toasted coconut and drizzled in dark fudge.

Alice had everyone sing happy birthday while she drug me over to the birthday cake. When the singing was done, the candles got blew out. The next forty-five minutes consisted of everyone eating sweets and taking a seat while I opened presents.

Everyone got thanked right then. I got everything from gift cards, money, a few clothes, Gir stuff, along with Avenged Sevenfold stuff too. Alice and the others all coordinated when they got their gifts.

As Alice brought out two rolling luggage's, I looked at her. "Why is there two?"
"It's a set. This smaller ones has the other roller inside along with the duffle bag."
"Okay. I thought they all stacked inside one another when you first bought them."
"They do. But this big one has all the other presents from me, Jasper, Bella, Edward, Jacob and Emmett." She pushed it closer to me. "Go ahead and open it."

I unzipped the black luggage printed with pink and gray skull and crossbones. Inside there was a stack of gifts to the right and on the left there was…bathing suits? Sure enough it was bathing suits. All but one the top was strapless. The first that I pulled out was a sea foam green color. It had the cups of the top then in the middle it twisted to made it smaller. The bikini bottoms were the same sea foam green with brown and gold. It had the cheetah print to it. With the background being the green and the spots being brow and gold, the strap that went along the hip was actually three gold rings interconnected.

The next one was an orange color. Not bright like neon, but not light like a peach, somewhere in the middle. The top was the same as the green one. But the bottom was just a pair of regular bikini bottoms. There was a bright purple top that was the same as the other two. The bikini bottoms for this pair were pretty cool though. White, black, pink, and purple mixed together, printed on the right side was black swirls with silver sequins throughout. On the sides there was a black string that connected the back to the front. If you untied it, sure enough the thing would fall off of you.

Next was a black top the same as the others. But there were two different bottoms that went with this one. One was a regular solid color bikini bottom in black. It was just like the one before it. The other was the same as the full black one, but was black and white stripped. The final one was from FOX. The top was a black and white halter top style with the FOX logo on the right side in red. The bikini bottoms matched the ones before but were black and white with one patch of red on the right side.

"Alright why so many bathing suits?"
"They're from me and Jasper. Those and the luggage. It goes with the rest of the presents."
"If you say so."
"Open them to find out."

The first box that I picked up was a medium sized one wrapped in metallic pink wrapping paper. After ripping the paper off, I took a look at the side of the box. Canon EOS Rebel T3i…a digital camera.

"Okay who got the camera?"
"That would be me." Jacob said raising his hand. "There's something else in there from me too. It should have been up underneath that box."

I looked down and there was another box. It was wider but not as thick. When I pulled the top off I got a glimpse of what was inside. There was an eight-by-eight scrapbook in zebra print, with a pack of different designed paper, a few packs of extra clear pages to put inside, some stickers with the Halloween theme, some for birthday too. There was also a gift card for something called Mixbook and a journal.

"What's Mixbook?"
"It's a website. You can make your own scrapbooks on there too. I thought that since you have so much stuff going on that you would want to keep up with it. That would be a good way to do it. The journal is for when you go out on vacation and stuff. Take that with you write down the places you go when you take pictures and you won't have to try and remember everything you did in one day."

"Awww…thanks Jake."
"No problem. Just don't get all mushy on me. Kay?"
"Got 'cha."

Bella and Edward got me two tickets to Jamaica, Cancun and the Bahamas. Esme and Carlisle got me two tickets to Italy, Rome and Australia. The only other thing was a small box to open. When I did I knew then that it was from Emmett.

Inside was a white gold charm bracelet, with each charm meaning something. There was a Ferris wheel and carousel for our time at the fair. A set of cherries, since he was the first one I had sex with. A deathbat charm for when he met my family. A paw print and picture frame with a picture of Ali in it. A drum set and guitar for when Emmett first found out that I could play the guitar. An engagement ring with a picture frame with us inside. One link there were three charms. A cauldron with green inside, a book of spells and a coffin that opened up to show a skeleton inside, all for which was for this party. A motorcycle for the first time that I had rode one with him. Then on another link was a picture frame with my mom and sister, an angel, and two beads one red and the other clear to represent their birthdays.
