Chapter 37: Stupid dog

APOV

"We're fucking each other."

No way. NO way. Rosalie and Jacob? Ewwww?!

I knew Rosalie had a tendency to use a man when she needed a fix for sex, but to continue having sex with just one man? And with this man? Jacob? What the fuck was she thinking???

I was silent from shock. "What?!" I finally slipped out with complete disbelief. "You're lying."

"Like I said, ask her," Jacob emphasized that I should ask Rosalie.

I definitely was going to find out someway or the other.

EPOV

Who the hell was this douche bag? Why was he getting rough with my sister and why did Bella react to Jacob like that by blushing?

I was furious. I was fucking pissed off and I wanted to hit something. Jacob looked like a good mass of space to take out my frustrations on. I couldn't sit still anymore, not even after Alice said she would "handle this". Fuck that. That Jacob asshole wasn't getting near my Bella.

I looked at Jasper, who wouldn't take his eyes off of Alice. He was watching her like a hawk, more tense than I was.

"I'm not going to sit here like this. I'm going to check on Bella," I said with my hands fisted to my side.

"Good idea. I got Alice," Jasper was up from the table before I and bolted toward Alice's direction. I thought I was pissy about Jacob being there, eyeing Bella up and down, but Jacob had gotten rough with Alice. I thought I was aggravated with the way Jacob handled her, but Jasper had a temper as strong as mine. I noticed that he also had disicpline to keep it in check until it was the right time to let it out. Discipline, though, was wearing very fucking thin at this moment.

I like Jasper already. I could see us becoming great friends.

I watched Jasper as he strode quickly across the floor, maneuvering himself around the tables and chairs obstacle course. He finally reached my sister and stood feet wide apart, ready for anything, crossing his arms across his chest behind Alice.

I passed by them while heading towards the front door and I could hear Alice huff out incredulously, "what?!"

Once I felt comfortable with Jasper being with Alice, I went on with my direction to find Emmett, Rosalie, and Bella. Once outside, I looked around and couldn't see any of them. I almost panicked until I heard Rosalie cry out Emmett's name.

"Emmett, please!" she pleaded.

"Come on, Em, calm down," I could hear Bella trying to soothe him.

My head turned to where the voices came from and I walked in that direction. Towards the end of the parking lot, Rosalie was standing next to Bella, who had Emmett towering over her, glaring furiously at both of them.

"Let me go guys," Emmett said angrily.

"Let me explain please," Rosalie said, her eyes beginning to tear.

"At least hear her out. She wantsto explain what's going on," Bella said in her defense.

It's amazing and weird how the relationship between Rosalie and Bella changed in less than a week.

Emmett ran both his hands through his dark hair and cursed. "Fuck!" He started to pace, trying to calm down, but both Bella and Rosalie were not intimidated by this guy. They stood their ground.

That turned me on. Bella was a very strong person inside and out and I was going to marry this woman. Damn. I hated then, that I was leaving in the morning. I wanted to whisk her away with me to California, but I couldn't do that. It was a stupid irresponsible idea.

"Nothing is going on between me and Jacob, Emmett. I swear to God. We had a one night stand and he suddenly thinks we're in a relationship. I tried to tell him that it was just sex, but he refuses to let that sink in," Rosalie started.

"So you had sex with him? Jesus H. Christ!" Emmett hollered. "I can't even get a fucking kiss without you freaking out on me!"

"Emmett McCarty. Watch your mouth," Bella pointed up at him.

"Why the fuck are you defending her?" Emmett pointed at Rosalie, "You two hate each other! Now you're defending her? This is bullshit!"

"Things change," Rosalie said.

"That's not important right now, Emmett," Bella said quickly.

Emmett seemed to calm down for a second and his face went blank. He looked down at Rosalie as I approached the trio.

"Edward," Bella said, relieved. I stood next to her and she practically collapsed into my arms.

"I thought we would be great together Rosalie. I thought you were different. All that we've gone through, those times together this whole week were…" Emmett closed his eyes. He didn't feel the need to finish his point. "Now this guy," Emmett emphasized, "comes in spouting shit that makes it sound like you're with him. So, what is he to you? What am I to you, Rose?" this is when Emmett's eyes furrowed with pain. There was a small frown on his lips and I felt sorry for him.

Maybe Rosalie was still a bitch. Maybe she was playing Emmett like a fool.

RPOV

Everything was a fucking mess. My life had been screwed up since I could remember. There were rarely great moments that I remember and now that I have memories with Emmett to remember forever, something fucks it up. It's my fault. I put myself in these situations and I intend to fix it. How was I suppose to, though? When Jacob was killing it?

Asshole. Stupid fucking asshole! It should have been a sign that his kisses were terrible, but no, I was an idiot and slept with him. Sex with Jacob was awful. This was suppose to be a one night stand that would follow up with never seeing him again, but he found me, contacted me, and tried to push it into something further. He wanted to continue the sex with me. I refuse and he turns into a stalker!

We had the fling the week before I met Emmett. The world through my eyes seemed to change when Emmett walked into my life.

"…what is he to you?" Jacob is nothingto me. It was just sex. An itch that needed to be scratch and now it's gone. Or so I thought.

"…what am I to you, Rose?" Emmett's face is what hit me the hardest. I couldn't help but let my tears fall freely from my heavily make-uped eyes. They were warm, dripping from my chin as he continued to look at me with pained eyes of his own.

Emmett was the foremost important thing in my life. He is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Throughout all the crap, and crap is an understatment, he has been a miracle. Besides Alice, I've never met anyone like him. Still, Emmett made me feel beautiful, safe, and peaceful.

"I found out recently that you are the most important thing in my life, Emmett. Jacob is nothing to me. That was a mistake."

"He's not the one that beat you, is he?" Emmett asked quickly.

"No!" I scoffed "He would be dead if he tried to do anything like that to me. That…"I paused and took a deep breath, "was a long time ago, with my ex-fiance, Royce King, when I was eighteen," I told him, my voice becoming a little softer. It was a tough subject to talk about, but Emmett deserved an explanation.

"What did he do to you?" Bella asked, putting her hand on my shoulder, to comfort me. Her voice was soft and gentle.

I looked at her and smiled, appreciatively to that she was such a caring person. I envied her so much.

"Royce was gorgeous. Charming and enchanting, he worshipped me when we started dating. He seemed to be a dream come true. We've been together for almost two years when he proposed. I said yes, thinking this was the best thing that's ever happened to me. I just can't believe it took me those two years to finally see the truth about him. After our engagement, he changed to a completely different person."

Emmett's posture didn't relax, but his expression seemed more concerned.

"He tried to order me around, demanding sex when he wanted, practically treated me like his damn fucking slave, saying nasty things. At first I accommodated and done all of things he asked me to, because I loved him. Then he would verbally abuse me, say things that I could never imagine him saying before our engagement," I sobbed, remembering the beatings and what Royce said to me about being a worthless, ugly bitch. "Then he would beat me, not hit me, he would beat me until I ended up in the hospital more than a few times. God, I was such a fucking idiot to put up with that for so long!"

Bella's arms came around me and held me as the sobs started to rack my body. Edward was nearby and I wondered when he had arrived. Was I making a scene? I didn't care now, because I needed to straighten this shit out with Emmett. I wasn't going to lose him.

"You're not in that anymore, Rose. I'm here," Emmett said, tucking a hair behind my ear.

I looked up at him and my heart fluttered.

God, I want this man.

"Rosie!" Jacob's voice came from behind our circle. Emmett turned around, blocking my view of him.

Fuck.

"Jacob, don't!" Alice said from a distance.

Edward and Emmett positioned themselves in front of Bella and I.

"What do you want, Jacob?" Emmett asked rudely.

"I want to talk to Rosie," Jacob said.

I touched Emmett's arm and let myself through from inbetween Edward and Emmett.

"Let me speak to him," I said, sniffling and wiping my eyes.

"No, whatever you say to him, you can say in front of me," Emmett didn't care who was around to see what was going on. As long as he didn't leave us alone, he was fine. Honestly, I was fine with it too. "And it's Rosalie."

Jacob snickered, rolling his eyes at Emmett. That flared the fury inside me.

"Jacob, we need to straighten this shit out, right now. I'm not withyou. I never was. We slept together for one night and that…was…it! Whatever you wanted afterwards was going to never happen," I told Jacob.

Jacob's eyes became defensive.

"I-" Jacob began.

"No! Get over it! Stop calling me, texting me, doing whatever you do. Don't try to start something that was never there. Goodbye Jacob," I said and waited for him to move.

"Fine," Jacob said, "cunt!" His lips curled with the harsh word he mouthed.

"Fucking asshole! Leave, you piece of shit!" Bella yelled at him. Her face was twisted with anger.

Jacob eyed Bella, then his gaze slowly roamed her body up and down again, smiling when he reached her face. Ugh, the asshole dog. I'd like to slap that smile off his face.

"You heard her asshole," Edward threatened, pushing Bella behind him more.

"What are you gonna do about it, dickhead?" Jacob responded.

"I'm going to pound your desperate ass to the ground, then hand you back your nuts,"

I heard giggling and laughs from the guys and girls, but I couldn't pinpoint who it was.

"Fuck you, asshole!" Jacob spat.

"You shouldn't offer things like that, when I know for a fact that it wasn't even remotely good," I had to add that in there.

Jacob's eyes narrowed with anger and took a step forward, causing Emmett to come up and deck him in the face. No warning, anything. No one ever defended me like that before. Even if the cruel words I said initiated the fight.

"Leave," Emmett demanded. Jasper flew in, along with Bella, and held Emmett back as Emmett kept eyeing Jacob with dangerous eyes.

Jacob twisted with the impact of the punch and stumbled in that direction. I put myself in front of Emmett so he wouldn't do anything anymore. I didn't believe in violence, with what I had endured a long time ago. Jacob turned to lunge at Emmett, but instead, saw me there and thought differently.

"Leave, Jacob. Now," I nodded my head. I was giving him a chance to leave in peace and not get the shit beat out of him. Maybe he was going to hit me, maybe not. Who knew what Jacob was going to do, but I forgave him otherwise for an unintentional act. I didn't want anyone to feel that pain that I felt so many years ago.

Jacob turned quickly and stomped away without another word.

I turned around to look at Emmett. He was still angry, that much I could tell in the fading light of day.

"Look at me, Emmett," I asked softly. "Thank you."

He looked down at me and his expression turned back to a gentle sadness.

"I know you don't condone to what I did, but I can't," Emmett let out a frustrated sigh, "I can't think of him or anyone touching you ever again. No one else, but me. I'm sorry Rose," he apologized.

"Don't apologize, and no one else ever will. Only you. I love that you care that much about me. No one ever has," I said.

"We do," Bella said with a smile. Alice came from behind me and put her arms around my neck.

"She's right. We're your friends and we love you," Alice spoke softly.

I couldn't help but let the tears fall again. I felt so lucky, so happy to find great people like this. My luck, hopefully, and my life, was going to change from this moment. I wasn't going to put myself in stupid situations like I always did.

"Come on, Rosalie. Let's go get you liquored up," Bella said, pulling my arm back towards the restaurant.

"Sorry guys. I don't mean to break up the party, but I'm taking Rose hostage. We still have some talking to do," Emmett said.

I looked at him and he grabbed my hand. I intertwined my fingers with his massive fingers and smiled. He did that thing where he kissed my fingertips and my breath stopped. God, it was so easy to forget things with Emmett around.

"Go, take her away, Shrek. Take care of her or you'll have to answer to me," Alice poked him in the chest.

"Me too, jackass. Love ya," Bella stood on her tippy-toes and gave Emmett a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. He released my fingers and picked Bella up, causing her to squeal. Everyone chuckled and started saying their goodbyes to us.

Alice and I embraced for a long moment. I really loved my best girl. Along with Emmett, they were, as corny as it sounds, "a breath of fresh air". Bella too. Her and I went off to a bad start, which was my fault completely, but getting to know her after all the jealousy bullshit, she was as great as Alice. She was so forgiving and I admired that she let the bad things between not get in the way to a coming friendship between us. I was happy for Alice and Bella that they have men that loved them as much as they should be. I just hoped I would be able to get Emmett to be in my life like that. For everything that's happened so far, my heart was going to fight for him.

BPOV

I was relieved when Jacob left. I didn't want it to escalade into anything further, even though I knew he was being a douche bag, and deserved that punch to the face. I'm glad that Edward didn't do anything except inform him that he would get fucked up if he didn't leave. I noticed that he didn't help hold Emmett back after he punched him. Edward wanted part of it as much as Emmett did. I could see it in his face.

When Jacob called Rosalie a bitch, I snapped. I had to say something, even if it wasn't what I truly wanted to say. When Jacob eyed me up and down like the pervert I never wanted to encounter again, I was thankful that Edward spoke up, confessing that he wanted to kick his ass.

Now everyone was leaving before we even had our lunch. I didn't mind leaving Rosalie with Emmett, but I was worried about Emmett. He was not in a good state. He was angry and hurt. Still, what can I do? They needed to be alone together and talk.

Everyone was saying goodbye to Rosalie and Emmett and it dawned on me that this was the goodbye before they were able to see Edward again.

"Hey Edward, it was good meetin ya man. We'll take care of Bella while you're gone," Emmett gave him a hug, no slaps. He knew that this was the last time he would see Edward for awhile.

"Thanks Emmett. It was fun, bro. Let me get your cell," Edward pulled his cell phone out and started tapping at the keypad with his thumb.

"Here's mine too, but it won't matter anyway, I'll be with Emmett whenever you call," Rosalie said. Emmett's dimpled smile brightened up my face and I was glad that he was feeling better.

"You two take care of each other, I'll see you guys soon," Edward mentioned to Rosalie. They gave each other a tight hug and then Rosalie was back in Emmett's arms.

Rosalie and Emmett walked away, holding each other's hands.

"You guys still hungry? The waitress is asking about us," Jasper asked.

"Oh yeah. I'm starving," Alice said cheerfully.

"Let's go," Edward added and we walked back toward the café.

Alice led the way. She seemed chipper now that everything was straightened out. I knew how she felt, but then I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach of disappointment and sadness. I was really looking forward to spending time with Emmett, with Edward around.

I guess I was in deep thought, thinking about it, when I heard a squeal from Alice. Jasper had his arms wrapped around her waist, his face buried into the crook of her neck.

"What'cha thinking, love?" Edward asked me, also putting his arms around my waist, watching me watch Alice and Jasper.

"This whole day so far. It didn't turn out what I expected," I lied to him.

I didn't want Edward to know that I was feeling kinda down. I wouldn't show anymore emotional stress until it was the time right before he walked away from me.

"How are you? Are you still pissed?" I was referring to stupid Jacob.

"Just a little. Nothing sex and food couldn't take care of," I couldn't help giggle at him.

"Maybe we could combine them together. Is it disipitating yet?" I teased Edward, looking up at him to kiss his lips.

"Mmm. Tease," Edward kissed my lips as we paused from walking.

"I know, you love it," I confirmed.

"I concur."

"Will you two hurry the fuck up? I'm starving!" Alice piped from the door.

Well! I knew well that Alice was mouthy when she was cranky or hungry.

"Let's not make her wait, before she goes ape shit on us," Edward mentioned.

There wasn't any need for Alice to dramatize her hunger again. I was done with drama for one day. I nodded my head and quickly made my way to the café, Edward's warm hand swallowing my own.
