Chapter Fourteen - Boo Boo's

Rosalie's POV

The minute we walked in the front door of Emmett's house we were bombarded with questions. Alice just about died when she saw Emmett but completely flipped out when she saw me.

"What happened to you two?" Alice questioned, sounding more annoyed than concerned

"Complications." Emmett sighed and fell onto the sofa

"Elaborate?" Alice demanded

"James crossed the line with Rose and I dealt with him." Emmett explained, resting his hands over his closed eyes

"I told you not to do anything stupid. What the hell do you call beating someone up?" Alice pointed a finger at Emmett and began to lecture him

Jasper who had been quietly checking me over, then turned to Emmett and laid into him about not letting him come with. Even though Alice was complaining about Emmett fighting, at the same time she was saying something along the lines of killing James herself for what he did to me. I found that funny. Alice gave up on Emmett and turned to check on me, sighing from what she saw. I think I told her and Jasper both a million times that I was fine before they finally calmed down.

Out of nowhere Edward came flying through the front door and broke up the whole interrogation.

"Oh my god you guys wont believe what happened, James got his ass ki..." he stopped mid sentence when he got a good look at both Emmett and I

"No way, it was you?" Edward questioned Emmett with a huge grin

"Guilty." Emmett shrugged his shoulders and smirked back

Edward started the whole question asking process up again and the poking and prodding from Alice and Jasper resumed. Alice kept going back and forth from Emmett and I looking us over and fretting about our injuries. Jasper could care less about Emmett's, but kept getting more and more livid when he would look over at me.

"Man, I swear if I was there." Jasper seethed

Luckily their dad was at work, and their mom had gone to the store. I know it was just delaying the inevitable, but the longer we could put off having the parents involved, the better. Finally after what seemed like an eternity but was really maybe a half hour, things died down. Edward and Jasper were off talking about how awesome it was that Emmett beat up James, while Alice started to worry about our cuts and bruises.

"Come on you guys, I need to get you both fixed up." she started pushing me towards the bathroom

"Alice, just let me do it. I'll take care of us." I assured her. I was leery of anyone but me doing anything to my boo-boo's.

I grabbed Emmett's hand, pulled him from the couch and led us to the bathroom. I was more concerned about Emmett than anything, he was the one that got the worst of it. We were both in there and I could barely turn around in the small area, let alone get at the bandages and antiseptics I needed. I closed the door almost all the way and turned to Emmett.

"Sit." I told him, pointing to the toilet seat

I started getting things out from under the sink and the medicine cabinet. After getting some cotton balls full off peroxide I looked over at him and was suddenly feeling nervous about hurting him more. He was an absolute mess. His lip was swollen and bleeding. His right eye was already bruising and he had a fairly big cut above his left brow that was bleeding half way down the side of his face. The knuckles on his right hand were cherry red and all tore up. I'd never seen him really hurt before and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

"God Em." I sighed as I started to wiped the dried blood from his bottom lip, "what a nightmare"

He flinched when I got too close to the cut and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"What happened to the big tough guy?" I smirked at him and he laughed

Once I was done with his facial wounds, I turned to his hand and started to clean up the scrapes. I wasn't paying attention to him until he started to lift up his shirt with his free hand. I looked down and saw he was checking his side for what damage the punch James gave him there had done. There was a distinct fist outline that was already turning black and blue.

"I'll be right back." I told him and turned to walk out the door. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a package of frozen vegetables and headed back to the bathroom. Alice looked up anxiously and I rolled my eyes at her. She knew he was hurt pretty bad and was worried. I just tried to make it seem like it was no big deal to ease her mind.

Once I got back in the bathroom I continued where I had left off, "Stand up." I ordered him once again, and once again he followed my directions without question

I lifted up his shirt and ran my hand lightly over the bruises, "You think anythings broken?" I questioned

"Nah." he quickly answered

I lightly place the bag over the area, "Ughh, oww." he gasped. I looked up at him and whispered, "Sorry."

"Here, you hold it." I waited till he replaced my hand with his

I took a deep breath and turned to the mirror. I hadn't seen what I look like yet and slowly opened my eyes. My hair was a disaster and I had dried tears and what little eyeliner I had worn running down my face. I'd forgotten I even cried until then. I sort of black out when everything was happening.

"Look at your arm." Emmett spoke up after a few moments. I twisted my arm around and saw the scrapes on my elbow and wrists from when I fell.

"Your turn." Emmett put down the bag he was holding and grabbed me around the waist. He lifted me up onto the counter so I was facing him and now eye level. He got a cotton ball full of peroxide and reached for my arm, but I pulled away.

"Come on Rose, it wont hurt, I promise." he reassured me and I relaxed my arm in his grip

He gently started cleaning the cuts and lightly blowing on them after wards. A couple band-aids later he bent down and turned his attention to my one knee that was all scuffed up.

"I couldn't stop myself after I saw him hurt you." Emmett started to speak. It was almost like he was reassuring himself that he did the right thing.

"It's okay Em." it was all I could think of to say

"When I saw you get thrown to the ground my heart dropped. I never should have let that happen." he shook his head while still tending to my knee.

"You told me to get in the car, but I couldn't stop myself from jumping on him. It was my fault Em."

"Yeah, you're crazy you know that?" he looked up at me and gave a small smile

He place one last bandage across my leg and stood back up.

"Good thing is, I doubt he'll ever give me another problem again." I chuckled trying to lighten the mood

Emmett's POV

I reached for a cloth and got it wet under the faucet. I looked into her eyes and started to clean away the tears. I stopped when she started to smile at me. I placed one hand on the side of her face, rubbing her cheek with my thumb. She was about to say something but I went into auto-pilot, leaning forward to kiss her. Just a few centimeters shy from what I had been dreaming of since I could remember, Alice came storming in.

"Are you guys okay?" she gasped when she saw us and I quickly pulled away from Rose, "Sorry." she smiled and quickly turned to leave

I took a deep breath and looked at Rose. She had her eyes closed from the shock of being caught by Alice. I went to open my mouth to say something, but I quickly clamped it shut. I had no clue what to say or what to do even. Like always, my mind didn't work fast enough for me to choose the right decision. I grabbed Rose by the waist, picked her up and off of the counter. She looked up at me and I sighed, rubbing my eyes with one hand. She looked nervous and I was definitely freaking out. I regretted it instantly, but I clammed up and left the bath room.
