In this next chapter we will pick up where we left off and I will shake things up a bit now as we see a bit more of Emmett, more specifically Rose and Emmett.
On with the important stuff, here is the next chapter...Enjoy!
Chapter XIX – The Wedding Song
Emmett POV
Her smile faltered as she saw me, but forcing the smile back on her face she turned her head to look at the back of the church as the music changed. Everyone stood up and turned around to see the bride as she started to walk down the aisle on our father's arm.
She looked beautiful and she smiled nervously as she made her way to Jasper. When they got to the front, Carlisle took Alice's and placed in Jasper's, smiling affectionately at her before saying something that made Jasper nod and Alice smile less nervously.
Her eyes watered a bit as he stepped back and she looked to Jasper, he squeezed her hand lightly and smiled at her.
"We are gathered here today to join Alice Cullen and Jasper Whitlock in holy matrimony..."
They had written their own vows and Jasper went first, taking a piece of paper out of his inside jacket pocket. Letting go of Alice's hand to unfold it and flash her a nervous smile of his own.
"Alice, I don't think I'd be as happy as I am with you, if I couldn't hear your laugh or see your gorgeous smile every day. I love you for seeing the beauty in everything and I can see us growing old and senile together, you nattering away about everything and me...just listening to you" he was barely looking at the speech he had written, the pair of them just looking at each other.
"So, I promise...to be silent when you need to talk. To laugh with you and to share your perspective and to do my utmost...to keep you smiling. To always let you know how much I love you" tucking away the speech he took the ring from Peter and slid the ring onto her finger, both of their smiles growing wider.
"Jasper, I love that you know me better than anyone and always know what to say when I get carried away" she sniffed and a tear rolled down her cheek, he leaned forward and delicately wiped it away with his thumb, smiling at her. "I promise to sometimes know when to shut up" some people laughed.
"Also, to laugh at all of your jokes and to let you know how much you are loved in return. To never forget how you changed my world for the better...until we are old and senile, even then I won't forget. Because I love you and nothing can change that" more tears fell but she smiled and put the ring on his finger.
"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife" at the same time, Jasper with his hand still on her cheek leaned in and kissed his wife, she held him close and kissed him back. "You may...continue to kiss the bride" some laughed and the rest cheered loudly.
When they broke apart with wide smiles they took each other hand and walked back down the aisle and out of the church. Everyone gathered outside as the newlyweds exited the church, throwing handfuls of confetti as the black limo pulled up.
Jasper opened the door for Alice and she gave him another kiss, people cheering and throwing more confetti as they got in and shut the door. The limo drove off and two more cars pulled up for the bridesmaids and the groomsmen, taking them off to the reception.
Rosalie was the last to get in the car, busy making sure everyone knew where they were going. When she got to the car door she turned and glanced over at Rob and a blond man standing next to him. She smiled at him and I was sure I recognised him, he smiled back and waved at her. Then she got in the car and left.
I rejoined my parents, still looking over at the blond guy sure I knew him from somewhere. As my mother dabbed at her eyes with my father's handkerchief we too got in a car and left the church.
We got to the hotel and went to the ballroom which was hosting the reception, typically Alice the place was lavish to say the least. The main colours were gold and cream with a splash of pale pink here and there, there was a stage with a live band opposite the door we walked in. Currently the band was playing a smooth jazz number as the guest filled in and took their seats, the singer crooned into the mike as we found our names on the main table to the left of the stage.
Alice had maybe fifty guests at the most, and four long rectangular table were on either side of the dance floor, a mixture of cream and pale pink roses running down the middle of each table, with candles scattered down the tables as well.
There was a massive chandelier as well and it was dim, most of the light came from the candles on the tables. Sitting on a delicate looking aged gold chair, I realised most of the guests had taken their seats and as the singer came to the end of the song they stopped and the chandelier was switched off.
There were sounds of surprise as the room was now even darker the candles only provided enough light to see about a few yards away from the tables.
Then slowly and quietly the piano started to play and a spotlight, placed god knows where focused on the main doors that were at this moment closed.
The doors opened and yet no one was there yet the spotlight remained trained on the doors.
"Ladies and Gentlemen..." said the singer into the microphone as the piano continued to play. "Would you all put your hands together for the new Mr and Mrs Whitlock!" the couple appeared now and they walked in, hand in hand smiling as everyone erupted into cheers and claps once more.
Everyone stood up to clap and cheer as loud as they could, as they walked in a party cannon went off somewhere and gold confetti fell down on them as they went to their seats and Jasper kissed Alice's cheek.
The music went back to the jazz and people took their seats once more, a fleet of waiters with trays of variety of drinks came out making sure everyone d a drink in their hand.
Soon the couple took to the floor, the song changing into Ron Pope's 'You're The Reason I Come Home' as Jasper spun her round and then pulled her close to kiss her again. She smiled and kissed him back, flashes of camera's going off but they couldn't be less aware of any of it, occasionally he would spin her around or dip her then pull her close and kiss her again. More confetti rained down on them as they danced and as they smiled happily at each other it looked very much like the end scene from a romance movie, knowing Alice that was what she had wanted.
Everyone 'ah'ed' appropriately as they took more pictures and when the song came to an end the couple invited others onto the floor. Alice then danced with our father and Jasper started to dance with his mother.
Looking round I saw Rosalie, she was filming with a small camcorder and smiling to herself as the blond man came up to her. He stood to her side and slipped an arm around her waist, for a moment I saw red and wanted to break off the hand that touched her so intimately.
But then she turned her head to look at him, continuing to smile at him as he then kissed her cheek.
Rosalie had moved on.
I unclenched my hands and dropped my shoulders.
Rosalie POV
As the song came to an end, I closed my camera and turned to look at Royce.
"Hey there beautiful"
"Hey" tucking the camera away into my bag, I turned around properly and put my arm on his shoulders as he then put another hand on my waist.
"How about a dance?" he looked to the floor as more couples joined in.
"Sure" agreeing I put my purse down and took his hand, letting him lead me to the dance floor. Taking me in his arms and expertly twirling me, I spotted Emmett. He was looking at me and gave me a small smile, mine slipped from my face and I instinctively ducked my head and tried to slap a smile back on my face before I looked at Royce.
"Are you okay, Rose?" snapping my head back up to look at my date, I fixed my smile and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he swallowed the lie easily, continuing to smile at me and dance.
After a few more songs, where Alice danced with her father, husband, father in law and brother she went to sit down while Jasper danced with Esme.
"Royce, do you mind if I...?" I glanced at my friend and he understood, he nodded and smiled.
"Go on, I'll get us some drinks"
"Thanks" I kissed him briefly and turned away, making my way over to Alice and sitting in the seat belonging to Esme.
"Hello Mrs Whitlock" she smiled happily and glanced at me.
"Hi Rose" we hugged each other and taking two glass of champagne from a waiter, I handed her one and clinked the side of mine against hers.
"Congratulation Al, I'm happy that you got everything you wanted. Lucky bitch" we laughed and took a sip of champagne.
"Thank you" she glanced over at her husband who glance up at her at the same time, flashing his wife a smile before continuing to dance with his mother in law. I saw Emmett nearby dancing with Sandra Whitlock, then I spotted Royce talking to Robert and Carlisle.
He had two drinks in his hands and I had the feeling he was being interrogated, rather against his will due to the uncomfortable smile on his face.
"Hey, are you alright?" pull yourself together Rosalie Hale, you knew very well he was going to be here. So suck it up and stop acting like a meek mouse.
"I'm fine" I smiled and took a final gulp of my drink before putting down the glass. "But I think my date is in a bit of trouble"
"Dad's probably grilling him about his intentions" she sniggered and I shook my head.
"Oh god" I moaned when I realized that she was probably right, getting another snigger out of my friend.
"Hi Rosalie"
"Hey Jasper, I'm sorry but I have to go save my boyfriend" they both laughed at me as I necked the rest of my drink and stomped over to the men.
"Rose!" called out Robert when I reached them, I gave him and Carlisle a brief hug, giving the Cullen patriarch a kiss on the cheek and a wary look as I stood beside Royce and accepted a drink.
"Hi...am I interrupting anything?" Royce smiled at me and I returned the smile, before giving Carlisle a look.
"Not at all Rosalie, we were merely asking Royce here a few...questions about his work and so on" he waved his hand dismissively.
"Really?" Carlisle smiled and nodded but I eyed him sceptically.
"Hello Emmett" said Carlisle, getting out of answering me when his son approached us.
"Hi dad" he gave him a smile and turned to look at us. "Hey Rob...Rosalie" Emmett and Robert shook hands civilly and when he looked to me, he smiled and nodded in greeting which I did as well.
"Hi Emmett" everyone went silent and looked to me and Emmett as we refrained from shaking hands and stood distinctly apart from each other. I saw the look on Robert's face as he looked from Emmett to me, but Royce was oblivious to this.
"Son, have you met Rosalie's new beau?" asked Carlisle, motioning to Royce who gave Emmett a polite smile and held out his hand.
"Hello Emmett"
"Royce" he nodded and took his hand in a handshake. "Nice to see you again" as they shook hands, I noticed Royce wince slightly and shook my head.
"It's been a while" his smile was a bit more forced now as he tried to hide how much his hand hurt.
"It has" Emmett replied with a smile just as forced, his gaze flickered to me and I knew that Royce saw it. He was about to say something to me when his phone rang, he got it out and looked at the screen.
"Sorry, but I have to take this it's an important work call"
"Sure" he kissed my cheek, turning away from the others.
"I'll keep it quick, I promise" I nodded and smiled at him, before he turned around and walked away, to take the call outside.
"Royce King?" said Emmett incredulously the moment he was out of earshot, seeming not to care that his father and my business partner were still present. "Really?"
"He seems like a nice person" he scoffed at his father's comment, still looking at me.
"He's a creep Rose. You could do better"
"He is nice Emmett. It is not your concern who I do or don't date" I spoke in a low voice, trying to end this before I was tempted to slap him or throw my drink on him.
"It is when you are dating an ass who doesn't have a girlfriend longer than a week" maybe I could slap him.
"Emmett" said Carlisle warningly.
"No dad, she should know he's only going to end up hurting her!"
"Yes, because you would know all about wouldn't you?" I put down my drink and trying to stop my hands from shaking, I stopped him. "If you would excuse me, I need a moment to myself. I said to Robert and Carisle, before heading to the ladies.
Going through the doors, I heard footsteps behind me and a voice calling out to me.
"Rose!" turning I saw Robert, heading towards me. He was on his own so I stopped and waited for him to catch up to me. "Rose, are you ok-"
"I'm not okay, far from it. All I wanted to do, was to get through this day for my friend with no drama and with some of my dignity intact. But, no I can't do that can I? At least not with my asshole of an ex here"
"That was out of order what he said" I gave him a sideways look.
"What aren't you telling me?" he shook his head and looked down.
"I...nothing"
"You're full of shit Rob, what is it?"
"You know what I think Rose"
"Yeah, can't you see what a jerk he's being?"
"I think he's jealous" I shook my head and half turned away from him.
"I just want to get through the rest of this evening and then get back to my life, okay?" he nodded. "So...will you just drop it...please?"
"Sure" I sighed and stepping forward I hugged him.
"Right, now unless you want to follow me into the ladies. Kindly fuck off"
"See you in a bit"
The ladies was fairly empty, so sniffing lightly and dabbing at my eyes I fixed my makeup and was about to rejoin the party when I saw Royce.
"Hey, everything alright?"
"Yeah, yeah. Some people just have their heads up their asses" he laughed and I took his arm, we slowly walked towards the ballroom doors before he stopped and turned to look at me.
"Rose?"
"Yes?" he had an odd look on his face.
"I wanted to ask you something"
"Okay...what?"
"I love being with you but I hate the whole going back and forth from here and California..." I didn't see where this was going. "Will you come to California with me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Will you move in with me?" he said and I stared at him open mouthed.
~X~X~X~
Getting back in I started to mingle with some of the Cullen relatives I knew, Royce went to get a drink and I saw Emmett watching me. When It looked like he was about to come over and try to talk to me, I went over to Jeff Platt, a cousin of Esme's.
"Jeff, it's so nice to see you again!"
"Rosalie, you look beautiful as always!"
"Oh, you old flirt" I laughed and saw him slink off in the corner of my eye.
Soon it was time for the toasts before the cake cutting, it started with the best man, Jasper's cousin Peter.
"Right Jazz, do you remember that time in Vegas with the stripper?" everyone laughed but Jasper shot his best man a dirty look, Alice simply laughed and kissed his cheek. "No, in all seriousness, Jasper is completely and utterly...whipped" more laughs. "He has been since the moment he met Alice at school. After their first date he declared her the 'perfect girl' and said he was ruined for all other women. They are so in love after all these years, so sickly sweet I sometimes want to hurl" he laughed this time with the guests.
He lifted his glass as did everyone else. "Alice and Jasper, have been together for fifteen years and I know they will be together for many more years to come! To Jasper and Alice, may they have a long and happy life together"
"To Jasper and Alice!" chorused everyone and then it was my turn, getting up I took the mike from Peter with a smile at him.
"I've known Jasper almost as long as I've been friends with Alice and they really are perfect together. They are complete opposite and it works, Jasper is the level headed one that calms down Alice and she is the one that brought him out of his shell.
They both love each other so completely and they are a real inspiration, for everyone. So...all the best for the awkward boy who had a crush on the loud, chatty girl at school, my friends. Whom I want all the best for. To Jasper and Alice!"
"To Jasper and Alice!" more pictures were taken and the cake was cut, before a few more dances and it was time for them to depart.
"Call me when you land"
"I will Rose, see you" Alice hugged me tightly and I hugged her back. "Thank you for everything"
"It was all you, now go!" with a wide smile she went to Jasper and to the waiting car, ready to take them to the airport and then onto Paris.
"Bye!" called out Jasper, as Alice went to throw her bouquet over her shoulder. All of the single girls screamed and virtually tackled each other to try and catch it, but it landed perfectly in my hands much to the disappointment of the other girls. Looking up, I saw Alice wink at me before getting in the car.
Turning around I saw Royce, who gave me a meaningful look but turning away from him I handed the flowers to another bridesmaid before going back inside.
"Can I help?" asked Royce who had followed me in, I had been telling the caterers what to do with the leftover food when he spoke.
"You can help put the chairs away"
"Okay" I went and helped a waitress in collecting empty glasses and plates, silently keeping my back to him.
Later on Emmett came in too, but not Robert. I had seen him sneaking away with one of Alice's cousin's, I didn't say anything or look at him but he came up to me anyway.
"Rose..."
"Stop please. I really don't want to hear how wrong you think Royce is for me or anything else for that matter. Can I just get on with this and leave?" he looked down silently for a moment
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything"
"You shouldn't have..." I looked at him and got the sense he was feeling sorry. "It's okay though" I sighed and he glanced up giving me a small smile before helping me in silence.
When we finished Royce came back into find and saw Emmett, Royce looked less than pleased to see him and was about to say something when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I didn't recognise the number and was a little confused.
"Is this Rosalie Hale?"
"Yes, who is this?" both men stared at me intently and I turned my back to them.
"I'm calling about your father Ms Hale" my mouth dropped open in shock when he explained properly why he was calling me.
"Thank you for calling me" I said automatically before hanging up and turning around, Emmett and Royce looking at me with nearly identical looks of concern.
"Rose?"
"What's wrong?" they both spoke at the same time and I shook my head, which stopped them both from saying anything else.
"I...I...er...have to go" I turned to Royce. "Can you take me home?" he nodded immediately and put an arm around me, shooting a glance at Emmett before leading me outside to his car.
"Are you okay?" he said in a low voice when we were in his car.
"No, can we go?"
"Sure" he drove off and the entire car ride was spent in a heavy silence, I looked down at my lap for the whole ride.
Getting to my apartment he stood by the door as I unlocked it, I held it half open and he walked in.
"Rose, do you want to talk?"
"No!" I shouted throwing my keys on the floor. "No, I don't want to talk. No, I am not fine! Just NO!" my voice rose higher and higher and I fell into one of the dining table chairs, covering my face with my hands.
"Rose, I'm worried about you" he came over and tried to take one of my hands but I pulled away.
"I can look after myself Royce, I'm not a kid" I stood up and half turned away from him. "Why don't you go?"
"I..."
"Just go Royce!"
"You want me to leave?" he straightened up and I nodded.
"Yeah, leave go back to your hotel room or back to California. I. Don't. Care!"
"If you say so"
Emmett POV
The restaurant was busy, there was a long line of people waiting to be seated and it was only the lunch hour.
"Robert!" he lifted his head and saw me at the door, pouring out a drink and tapping the shoulder of the other bartender, he said something before wiping his hands and making his way over to me.
"Hi Emmett, what's up?"
"Is Rose around? I wanted a quick word" he frowned and shook his head.
"She's not here"
"When will she be back then?" he shook his head and I got the feeling I was missing something.
"No, she hasn't been in today. She called in sick"
"What?"
"She said she caught some bug, look Emmett I need to go. And no offence man, but I don't think she really wants to see you" I nodded and he vanished behind a 'staff only' door, after clapping a hand on my shoulder briefly.
I left the restaurant and hailed a cab, something wasn't right with Rosalie and it wasn't a stomach bug.
~X~X~X~
Stood outside her apartment, I got a sense of déjà vu and hesitated a moment before knocking on her door. She answered her door a moment later and despite the slight puffiness of her eyes and the fact that she looked weary she looked fine.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was worried about you, Robert said you called in sick"
"Go away Emmett"
"Rose what's wrong?"
"There is an asshole at my door, who won't leave me alone!" I put a hand on the door when she went to close it, she huffed and gave me a glare.
"Rose, I know you. Better than Robert or Royce King, I know when something is wrong" we stared at each other for a long moment, before she gave in and let me in. She went and sat on the couch tucking her legs underneath her and looking at the wall.
"So, what is it?" she pressed her lips together and closed her eyes for a moment. I waited, she would tell me in her own time, she had let me in so she would tell me.
"I got a call from the prison...about my fa...about Roger"
"I thought he was in for life"
"He is. He...was"
"What do you mean?" she stood up and wrapped her arms around herself, starting to pace behind the sofa, keeping her eyes down.
"He...passed away"
"He did?" she nodded and stopped pacing, looking at me.
"That's what the phone call was about yesterday"
"I'm sorry Rose" she laughed humourlessly which shocked me for a moment.
"Why? He was a cruel bastard who drove my mom to the edge and then pushed her off...he made my life hell. You of all people know that! I haven't even seen him or talked to him in months" she started pacing again and I walked over, putting my hands on her shoulders gently to stop her.
"He was your father"
"I don't care he can rot in hell" she looked at the floor and she was shaking, I saw the tear roll down her cheek and I hugged her as she sobbed into my chest. "I. Can't. Do. This"
"It's okay, I'm here"
It was a while before she stopped crying and she went to have a long bath and sleep whilst I called the prison and started to make the arrangements.
It was fairly straight forward and in a few hours I had most of the arrangements made, the only thing left to do now was to decide if Roger Hale would be buried or cremated.
I was about to make some coffee when she shuffled out of the bedroom. She wore a grey tank top and yellow and grey pyjama bottoms, her hair in a messy bun but she looked less tired now.
"Hey, most of the arrangements have been made and you should get an email confirming most of it. So I can go if you want" she shook her head and stopped a few paces away from me.
"You don't have to go" she said surprising me.
"Do you want me to stay?"
"If you want to"
"Okay"
"Okay what?"
"I'll stay...if you want?" she glared at me.
"For fuck's sake Em, stay or go just do something!" I tried not to laugh at her and I stepped away from the door.
"I'll stay" I said finally and she gave me a grumpy nod.
"I need coffee" she declared and flicked on the coffee maker, getting out two mugs and motioned for me to sit down.
"Thanks" I said as I took the mug from her, she sat opposite me and brought one knee up to her chest, looking away from me so I could see the side of her face.
"You didn't have to...make all of the arrangements for me" she said ending the silence.
"Well, you couldn't do it you looked exhausted"
"Thank you"
"It's okay" we lapsed into silence again and I remember the final detail that needed to sorted out. "There is just one thing that needs to be taken care of"
"What?" she put her mug down and raised an eyebrow as she turned to look at me.
"You need to decide whether you want him to be buried or cremated" she nodded and thought about for a moment.
"Buried" she said and looked down at her coffee mug before taking a small sip.
"Okay then"
~X~X~X~
"Rose are you ready to go?" standing in her living room I waited for Rosalie to be ready so we could go to the funeral.
"No!" she called out and I started walking towards her bedroom.
"Well hurry up or we'll be late" I glanced to Robert who shrugged and remained where he was stood by the couch, stuffing his hands into his pockets.
The bedroom door opened and she walked out, she wore a conservative black dress and had her hair tied up in a simple pony tail, she was shaking her head as she looked at me.
"I can't do this"
"Yes you can" I replied trying to sound encouraging.
"No, no I can't. Why should I anyway? Just shove the bastard in a box and be done with it, why should I care about him?"
"Look I'm not saying he was perfect, far from it. I know that, okay?" she nodded but crossed her arms with a huff. "But you should say goodbye to him, you are the only family he had left and it's okay to feel sad about what happened"
Her eyes watered and she looked angry at herself, the only thing she hated more than crying was crying in front of other people.
"I don't want to go"
"Yes, you do. You need to do this not for him, for you" I was aware that sounded a bit cheesy but it was true. She sighed and went to her room getting tissues and dabbing her eyes, she sat on the edge of her bed and I shot a glance at Robert.
"I'll bring my car around" he said, before giving me a thumbs up with a nod and then disappearing. I shook my head and then went into her bedroom crouching in front of her, taking one of her hands.
"Hey" she dabbed her eyes a bit more and turned her head towards me. "You don't have to go today, but I think you'll regret it if you don't. He was your last family member too and I know despite it all he was your father and there is a part of you that loves him or you would never have seen him after you got emancipated"
"I'm conflicted"
"I'm here, I know what you've been through Rose. You are so strong and I admire that about you, going to your father's funeral despite what he did, does not make you weak in any way. You are the better person and that's why you should go" she pressed her lips together and gave me a small nod, I stood up and held out my hand.
She stared at it for a moment, before taking my hand and standing up when she did we were both standing very close to each other. For a long moment we looked at each other, then she stepped back a bit and we went outside to Robert's car.
When we got to the church for the service, it was empty apart from Robert, Rosalie and me. Despite the obituary in the newspaper no one else came, it was sad. He had no one, no friends or family that wanted to say goodbye to him. If not for me and Robert, Rosalie would be the only one here.
Rosalie had told me once that her paternal grandparents had disowned their son when he had married young and that her maternal parents had disapproved of him. They had been very vocal about their dislike of Roger, but they had died not long after they had gotten married.
Through the service Rosalie remained silent, more tears running down her face as she stood between us. When it was time for the coffin to be buried, we were interrupted by the man running towards us.
"Rose!" Royce King said with concern, she went over to him as he approached us and he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so sorry Rose, I'm sorry" she sobbed and held him tightly and looked to us over her shoulder, giving me a harsh look.
"How did you?"
"I saw the obituary this morning, I thought I was going to be late" she shook her head as they pulled apart, he took her hand and they walked back and the priest said the final words.
Robert looked to Rosalie and Royce, then to me briefly patting Rosalie on the shoulder.
"Do you want me to stay?"
"It's alright, someone needs to open the restaurant" she said trying to sound light.
"Okay, take care call me if you need anything and don't worry about work, alright?" she nodded, letting go of Royce's hand to give him a brief hug. Robert left and Rosalie turned to Royce, her eyes flickering towards me.
"Thanks for coming, but I thought you had your flight back this afternoon?" he down at his watch.
"Well, it looks like I've missed my flight now" he looked at her and gave her a small smile. "It's okay...are you okay?" she nodded, I turned around and started to walk away.
"I have a few things to do, but I'll meet you at your hotel in an hour?" he nodded and kissed her.
"Sure, see you"
"See you"
"Emmett" she said as she walked towards me, I stopped and turned around to face her. "Hey...thank you, for being there for me"
"It's okay" she fiddled with the watch on her left hand.
"You know this isn't going to be the last time we see each other. Alice and Jasper will have kids and we'll see each other at christenings and birthdays and so on"
"And...?"
"It is exhausting, trying to avoid you Emmett. I really don't want to fight with you, we've had years of that and I don't every time we see each other to be forced and awkward" she stopped fiddling and looked at me.
"So, what do we do?"
"A truce of sorts? Be friends, like we used to be"
"I think you remember that differently than I do, because we weren't very good at being just friends" I couldn't help but smirk and she frowned.
"Can't we try?"
"We could, but you should know something" she raised an eyebrows. "I still love you, my mistake wasn't seeing you again it was getting engaged to a girl when on the rebound from you"
"Emmett" she said warningly, but I wasn't going to stop.
"I love you and you might not love me back, but I know you don't love him either"
"How would you know that?" she put her hands on her hips in a challenging way.
"Do you ever fight with him?" she looked confused and shook her head.
"No, because we actually get along"
"Rose, when I fight with you, I'm really fighting for us...because if I didn't care, I wouldn't bother" she pressed her lips together and closed her eyes for a moment, before letting out a heavy sigh.
"I'm with Royce"
"For now"
"Emmett"
"It's okay Rose, I'm not going to do anything. I'll be civil with you and try to be your friend but know that I love you and that's not going to change. I should have left with you when I had the chance but I'm not going to that stupid again, when it ends with Royce I'll be here" she was at a loss for words. "We belong together, we have history...and Royce doesn't stand a chance"
