Emmett's POV of their day. Hope you like!
Emmett POV.
What the hell is that noise? I wondered to myself as I began to wake up. While I was rubbing my eyes I heard Jaspers raspy voice somewhere near to me say,
"Hey Rosie, how are you all?...That pest with the phone calls?...I'll come over by the weekend and stay a few nights……Yeah….see you soon, bye."
As Jasper mentioned Rosalie's name, I instantly remembered the tall blonde that was his twin sister. Ouch!! I pinched myself; I couldn't start thinking about my best friend's sister, out of bounds!
I spanned out one arm while still rubbing my eyes with the other. My arm made contact with someone and I heard a grunt. Why the hell is Jasper in my room? O My God, is he in my bed?
I began to panic, I was afraid to open my eyes, afraid to find Jasper in my bed. I heard another groan from another direction, I froze. Jesus, Mary and Joseph…that was Edward!! What have I done?
My mental battle continued for a few more seconds until I heard Jasper next to me say "Emmett, I think you're sitting on the TV remote."
I opened my eyes slowly and saw the best possible scene ever, considering the one that I'd been afraid of. Jasper was sprawled awkwardly next to me on the sofa with no shirt on…That's ok, I can deal with that, I thought, while Edward was flat out on the floor in front of us. Beer bottles littered the floor and the top of the TV. We must have had a good night last night by the looks of it….that explains the headache too.
I slowly got up and stretched, kicking Edward, 'accidentally', but really just because he was there and was an easy target. Jasper retrieved the remote control from the cushion and I sat back down. I remembered my wake up call and asked Jasper through a yawn, "Was it your sister on the phone a minute ago?"
Amazingly, he understood what I had just asked. He told me, "Yes. That weirdo guy Edward and I told you about has been pestering them again. Edward and I are going to head over there on the weekend and stay for a few days hopefully."
"Cool I'm in" I said as I flicked through the Sky Sport channels. Edward sat up and said "Emmett, you don't have to. I'm going for Alice, and Jaspers going for Rosalie, and we can both look out for Bella too."
I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest saying stubbornly "I'm coming. Edward you have your biological sister, Jasper, you have yours, AND you're both adopted brother and sisters anyway, so that leaves little Bella no mates. So for a few days I get to be Bella's adopted brother. End of."
They both looked at me and sighed in defeat. If I wanted something, or wanted to do something, there was no stopping me. They both knew that.
Later that night,
Its October, it's cold and I'm bored. I thought to myself as I stood outside The Vice, a local club, at 7pm. I hated nights like these, with a passion. It was nearing 7pm and still no-one. There wouldn't really be a crowd until at least 11 o'clock at the earliest so we still had hours to wait.
I looked around the street, begging for something to catch my eye to distract me for a few minutes, but no luck. Edward soon saved me, I heard him sigh and say "Ok, Emmett lets play 'Eye Spy'…for the next three hours" I heard the undertones of boredom in his voice, and knew that we were in the same boat.
I grabbed onto the game like a lifeline, I would probably die of boredom otherwise. I scanned for an object for Edward to 'spy' when I found Jasper heading our way, looking just as bored. "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with J." I said in a sing-song voice that caused Jasper and Edward to erupt in laughter.
"Dude, that's too easy, Jasper." I heard the certainty in his voice. Boy, I'm not all looks, I thought to myself before I replied "Sorry Eduardo, it was Jack-hammer, you loooose" I drew out the last word as I scanned for my next Eye Spy object.
"A Jack-hammer? Where the hell did you spot one of those?" Jasper asked with genuine curiosity while he and Edward proceeded to scan the surrounding area.
"Well, if you look a little closer to that poster there," I pointed to a poster on the wall next to the club's entrance and continued "You'd spot the little Jack-hammer right in the corner." I finished, pleased with my power of observation.
Edward turned around to look at me with a smirk on his face, "So that's what you've been doing these last couple of nights…."
"You didn't think that I was reading the poster did you Edward?" I asked in an over-the-top shocked way, "You know I can't read Edward….I just like to look at the pretty pictures" I ended with a cheesy grin.
Our outburst of laughter rang through the streets, along with the sound of Jaspers phone that rang in his pocket. Edward and I stifled our laughter while Jasper read his text. He let out a frustrated sigh and said "It's Rose, that guy called again and really scared Bella."
I put on my no-nonsense face and said, "We'll go talk to the boss tonight alright? I know I'm not a brother or anything, but I want to help."
Edward smiled one of his defeated smiles and asked me "You're not going to budge on this are you?"
I shook my head, making sure that Jasper saw that I was in too. He smiled and said "I'll tell them that the cavalry's coming then shall I?" Edward and I both nodded as Jasper replied.
Later that night, at 3am or should I say stupid o'clock! Edward, Jasper and I made our way over to our boss who was watching some CCTV footage in his office. We stood just inside the door of his small office. I stood silently while Jasper and Edward did the explaining.
"We were wondering if we could take two weeks off to go see our sisters? Someone's hassling them and we need to go sort it out." Jasper explained while standing tall.
Our boss, Kenny, looked up to Jasper and smiled. That could be good or bad…It was bad, I heard the Jackass say, "Sure you can have your two weeks holiday….next month, when it's due. No negotiation."
I watched Edwards jaw clench, then he spoke up, "Listen Kenny, we've worked all the hour you give us, we work hard and we've worked overtime for you." I noticed Edward's jaw clench again as Kenny held up his hand to silence him.
"Take it or leave it boys, your two weeks holidays start next month." Kenny stated as he sat back in his chair looking smug.
I could tell that Edward was fuming, and Jasper was pretty riled too. The three of us were tired and tended to have short fuses after a night of drunkards. Jasper cut me a quick look, and did the same to Edward; we both knew what he was asking our permission to do. We gave it gladly.
"Fine we quit" Jasper said aloud. The three of us turned on out heels and walked out, leaving Kenny speechless and 3 security guards down.
As we walked down the street towards our apartment I asked Jasper, "You going to call your sister to let her know that were coming on the weekend?" Jasper shook his head and answered "No need to, I told her that we'd be there by the weekend, I didn't think that jerk would be so stubborn that we'd have to quit….sorry by the way guys."
As Edward trailed a few paces behind us I heard him ponder aloud, "Hey, maybe we could start our own security guard company or something?"
I smiled at the idea as images popped into my head. I said excitedly, "How cool would that be!! We could be our own bosses and I wouldn't have to wear a suit anymore, and you can keep me away from the accounts, I don't get on with numbers too well." I admitted.
Beside me Jasper raised an eyebrow and asked sounding suspicious, "So what you're saying is, that you're just going to stand about and look pretty?"
I heard Edward laughing behind me as I answered, "Yep, that's about it…. I'll flex my muscles of course-I'm not working out for nothing!" I gave the guys a demonstration as I flexed my arms like Superman before walking into our apartment.
So….how's it going?? I don't know if this chapter's any good, but I thought it'd be good to see the guys POV and hopefully make the families relationships clearer.
I'll explain anyway-
Edward and Alice Cullen -brother and sister Adopted by Carlisle and Esme
Jasper and Rosalie Hale-Twins Adopted by Carlisle and Esme
Bella Swan- Rosalie and Alice's best friend
Emmett McCarty -Jasper and Edwards's best friend.
