I'm glad everyone's enjoying this story :) anyway obviously you want to get to the actual chapter so I'll go quiet for now lol
Previously:
He never truly thought that she'd ever care for him, he was just a mutt to her. At least he thought he was. He hugged her around the waist pulling her closer as he hugged her. "I promise...I shouldn't have told you until after the fight."
"I'm glad you told me...stay clear of Emmett and I'll talk to him, make him understand." Rosalie whispered and stepped back from Jacob. "I want you...to do your best when fighting..don't worry about me...I'll be fine."
"But Rosalie if-" Jacob spoke but Rose cut him off by covering his mouth. "I will be fine..." Jacob nodded and Rosalie breathed out. Her breath went across his face, so did her scent. She smelt different to him than all the other vampires did, she smelt sweeter.
"I have to go now...I'll see you soon..I promise." Before Jacob could say anything, as soon as he blinked, Rosalie was gone.
Chapter Eleven-Before The Fight
-Cullen Home-
Rosalie had done showered and changed her clothes and hunted by the time Emmett came home. He had smelt some wolf in the air, but Rosalie told him Leah's visit only she told him about Leah speaking about the fight and how much she hated her family. Emmett was still angry about the imprinting, Rosalie could understand, about now Rosalie and Emmett were in their bedroom sitting across from each other on the bed.
"Do you love him?" Emmett looked at her, speaking low but serious. Rosalie hated being asked so much, under her armor that she would put up she wasn't truly cold, Royce had made her cold. Him and his friends.
"Yes...I do...but only as a friend Emmett. Your my husband, I love you." Rose looked him in the eyes while she spoke, she didn't have to be a mind reader to know he doubted her. The doubt was so clear in his eyes and on his face, that it might as well have been written on his forehead.
"Emmett...you have to believe me..."
"And why do I have to believe you Rosalie? Because you say so? Because he's just lying and isn't your soul mate?" Emmett almost growled the words while he was speaking. "I don't have to believe you...I want to Rose...I really do...you are my wife...my soul mate. This is just so much for me to take in..and even you can't deny that real love for someone comes after loving them as a friend. He isn't family, you can't say you love him like family."
Rosalie stared at Emmett, frowning. She hated this, all of it. She hated fighting with Emmett, she hated feeling insecure. Right now she was vulnerable, she hated being that to. Rosalie got up from the bed going to the door and stepped out of it, pulling it shut behind her.
She stood there a moment waiting to see if Emmett would follow her, but after two minutes, which felt longer to her, she heard no movement. No footsteps, no nothing from inside the room.
She walked away from the door, walking down the stairs and to outside at a normal human pace. She kept walking until she was outside, Edward was walking out of the woods tree line as they stopped in front of each other.
"Are you okay, Rose?" Edward could see her thoughts, he could see everything that happened with Emmett...and Jacob. "I hardly know..." Rosalie whispered. Edward glanced over her shoulder to see in the window as Emmett was looking at her, Edward took her by the arm and walked into the woods with her.
"Rose he just is feeling angry about this...he doesn't understand."
"No..." Rosalie pulled away from Edward and looked at him. "He doesn't trust me...he doesn't believe me..." There was silence between them, Edward didn't know what to say, he didn't want to say the wrong thing, but he didn't want to say something to help Jacob either. He'd be betraying his brother.
"Tomorrow is the fight Edward...after its over...I have to tell Jacob something...and I've made the decision." Rosalie looked at Edward as she spoke.
"Your going to tell him the truth." Edward understood, he hated it but he understood why. He didn't think she should tell Jacob anything, but he wouldn't step in, this wasn't his business to do anything about it anymore.
-La Push- First Beach-
Jacob was sitting looking at the waves as he heard someone walk up, he sniffed and sighed. "What do you want Leah?"
Leah walked to him and sat down next to him. "I visited your bloodsucker." She said calmly.
Jacob growled at looked at her, glaring. "Her name is Rosalie."
"Your making all of this so hard for me and everyone else." Leah looked at him. He just looked over to her with a confused expression. "For you?"
Leah nodded and Jacob stood up as he spoke. "You have got to be the most self-absorbed person alive, Leah. I'd hate if I shattered some of your dream world. Go, away."
"Can't you just see this from my perspective for a minute?" Leah crossed her arms and stood as well. "If I pretend to listen will you leave?"
"Jacob ever since you have imprinted on her, everything has been a mess! This is making me sick! I don't even like that leech. You have me and almost everyone else in the pack that hasn't imprinted grieving and angry over the bloodsucker! First you want to kill her then you want to-"
"Enough Leah." Jacob cut her off, becoming angry. He was trying to keep his shaking from getting any worse but Leah just kept talking. "She might be killed anyway, the fight is tomorrow and who knows maybe the newborns as they are called will take the problem away."
This time Jacob had to really try to keep his control. He glared at her and spoke angrily saying, "If you are concerned or upset about confusion Leah, how do you think the rest of us feel like looking at Sam through your eyes? It is bad enough that Emily has to deal with your fixation. She doesn't need us guys grieving after him to."
He almost regretted the words that came from his mouth when he saw the pain that filled Leah's eyes, the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes if she would let them. She shoved him back and glared. "Screw you, Jacob." She left him alone, he stayed silent as she left him.
He sat back down imagining how pissed the rest of them would be at him, surely they would see it all in Leah's head. Seth and Sam would be pissed at him but they'd have to get over it and understand that Leah pushed him too far.
He was already worried enough about Rosalie in the fight, if she got killed he wouldn't know what he'd do, other than die with her.
-Cullen Home-
"Emmett, you should be easier on Rosalie. She's having a hard time enough for herself as it is, she doesn't need you telling her things like you did." Carlisle sat in his study with Emmett sitting in the chair across from him.
"I know Carlisle...but I can't help it. How would you feel if a dog imprinted on Esme?"
Carlisle sighed heavily and looked to Emmett who was slumping in his chair. Carlisle thought about it deeply, he finally sighed and nodded. "I would try to understand...surely I would be angry but I wouldn't lash out at Esme. It wouldn't be her fault, she wouldn't have been the one to do it or control it."
Emmett stood up, the chair flying back hitting the floor. "But Rosalie isn't making him go away Carlisle! She loves him as a friend supposedly! How do I know its not more than that?"
Carlisle stayed sitting as he looked at Emmett. "You don't. But you can't doubt her. What if she's as torn about his as you are? You are here...yelling about something that I understand wasn't in any control, the wolves cannot control it. I believe if they could, Jacob would have imprinted on Bella. You need to be there for Rosalie, if she develops feelings for him then you can speak it...calmly with her. You cannot treat her different if she does. I don't want either of you hurting, your my family...but you have to understand your wife's situation."
Emmett inside was seething from anger. He didn't want to lash out at Carlisle anymore, though he didn't want to lash out at Rosalie. He knew who he wanted to lash out at, but he couldn't. He paced back and forth until he finally left the room fast. He needed to clear his mind, he needed to hunt.
Next:
"Jacob..." He looked at her as she came towards him quickly and when she was near him, his arms locked around her waist, pulling her closer against him. "Wait..."
"Why Rosie?.."
