After Emmett's massive blow out, Rose and Em decided to take some time apart. Meaning he was now staying with Edward, Charlie and me. While Rosalie was staying alone at their house.
As it turns out the blow up my brother had? Yeah, that was nothing compared to the tension they'd both been having these past few months.
My brother explained to me that Rose and him had been trying for a baby for the last two years, and since nothing had happened, it began to cause problems between them.
They tried everything to get pregnant but kept failing. This just caused more tension between them. To avoid said tension, Emmett began working extra hours, and Rose?
Well, she just began acting irrational, irresponsible, and childish. Had any of us known she was doing this to squash her pain, we would have avoided alcohol itself. Much less allowed her to drink so much or encouraged her childish behavior.
Now? I'm just trying to help her out.
It's taken so much time and energy from all of us to help them talk things out, and even more get them both into the same room.
Today is hopefully a step in the right direction. It's my parents twenty-fifth anniversary, and we're all celebrating by going to a cabin for a week.
My job is to get Rose up there. Alive...
I took my mom's offer to take Charlie up there so I could pick up Rosalie, Jane and Alice before driving up there. So, we could have some much needed girl time bonding, on the way there.
I just hoped this didn't come back to bite me in the ass.
"Rose…" I called, walking into their house.
"Yeah?" She called.
"Are you ready?" I called from the entrance.
"Yes, just let me grab my things and we can go." She shouted, appearing at the end of the hall before disappearing again.
"Alright." I shouted back, looking out the door at Edward's truck.
He told me to drive the truck since Em wanted to drive his Jeep up there. They'd go pick up Jasper and Felix before driving up there, so he wanted me to drive the truck. He even made sure everything we needed for Charlie was in the bed before leaving.
Such a gentleman.
"Hey! Are you ready?" Rose asked, reappearing with two large duffle bags.
"Two?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at her.
"Yes, Emmett forgot his hiking boots, hanleys, and a bunch of other stuff he has for camping. I just thought he'd need them." She explained, as she walked towards the door.
I watched her walk out towards the truck before lifting the truck's bed cover and placing the duffles in there.
"I forgot my bag, and a jacket." She muttered, walking towards the couch and grabbing them.
I nodded, looking down at my sneaker-covered feet before following her out.
"So, are you ready?" She asked, as we walked out of the house.
"Yeah, let's go pick up the pixie, and Janey." I replied as she closed the house up.
As we got into the truck and drove away, the tension seemed to leave her shoulders, and a smile appeared on her lips.
We stopped at Jane and Alex's house first. Rose beeped twice as soon, as I pulled the truck up at the front of their house.
We didn't wait long. It seemed that as soon as she heard us, her ass grabbed her bags, and that fucking demon cat she took in, and hightailed it out of the fucking house.
It was a hairless cat that she decided to name Princess Chunky.
"Oh no! She's bringing that fucking demonic cat! Lock the doors!" Rose yelped, pressing the button before Jane could reach the truck.
I almost died of laughter when Jane finally reached the truck and tried to yank hard on the door and the door wouldn't budge.
"You bitches better let me into the fucking truck!" She yelled, stomping her foot.
"Not until you put that demon cat back in your fucking evil fortress!" Rose snapped back.
"Leave my baby alone! She's harmless." Jane growled.
"Do it! Or we'll drive away and leave your ass stranded here…" Rose chanted, as she gestures for me to press the accelerator.
"Fine, you win, bitches… I'll take her to the neighbor's house…" she muttered, dropping her bags on the floor, and walking away.
When she came back five minutes later, we opened the doors, and let her stuff her bags in the back before climbing into the backseat, grumbling under her breath.
"So, where to now?" She grumbled.
"Alice's house…" I muttered, pulling away from the curb.
"Gee, I wonder what she's up to," Rose muttered, spinning her stress ball in her hand.
As we reached Alice and Jasper's house, she was already waiting for us, when we pulled up.
"Alice decided which bag you want to take and throw the rest into the house!" I yelled as I hopped out of the driver's seat after parking the truck.
"Aw, but it's a whole week! How will I decide what to wear?" She complained.
"I don't care. Just pick one and let's go!" I yelled.
She scoffed, before grabbing two large duffle bags and moving them onto the lawn and then opening the garage and beginning to shove each bag into it.
As soon as she shoved her bag into the back of the truck, she hopped into the back next to a pissed off Jane.
"Who's ready for this road trip!" Alice squealed, happily.
"Not me, I'll tell you that…" Rose muttered to me, as Alice plugged in the iPod to the dock.
"Let the torture begin," I muttered back as I pulled away from the curb.
I only hope Rose had enough patience to not shove anyone into the back if they grated her nerves.
