Chapter 14: Thank God for Rose

EPOV

Argh… Bella was right. What am I going to do with Lauren.

"EDDIE" she screeched as I came back into the cafeteria. She ran over to me and flung her arms around my neck, "I missed you" she said, pouting her lips, probably trying to look cute. However, it just looked like someone had punched her in the mouth, making her lips swell… Actually, I wish someone would do that.

"Um… Lauren… I don't know how to say this but…" God, how was I going to do this?

"GET OFF MY MAN" A girl screamed, but I would never have imagined this girl screaming those words… towards me.

Rose marched over, pulling Lauren off of me, pulling my arm over her shoulder, and snuggling in closer.

It felt extremely awkward, kinda of like a sister, however, Rose wasn't as close as a sister.

"Please, you two aren't together, and if you were, why'd Edward as me out?" Lauren scoffed.

"Haven't you ever heard of a thing called a prank, and we so are going out you little bitch, now stay away from my man" Rose hissed the last part. Have I ever mentioned Rose didn't like Lauren?

"Prove it" Lauren said, quite confident. I was shocked, and looked down at Rose, who looked up at me with determination.

When I said Rose didn't like Lauren, I meant, Rose REALLY doesn't like Lauren.

Rose brought her lips to mine, slowly opening her mouth, but keeping her tongue in her own mouth, as did I.

After about a minute, Rose pulled away, smiling fake sweetly at me, then giving Lauren death glares that were totally real.

"ARGH… FINE" Lauren screamed, running out of the cafeteria.

The second Lauren was out of sight, Rose moved away from me.

"Um… thanks Rose" I said, awkwardly.

"Don't mention it… No seriously, if you say a word about this to anyone any time, I will personally tell everyone a deep dark secret of yours"

"Sure sure" I said, looking around the cafeteria, trying to find one particular face.

When I found it, I looked into her gorgeous brown eyes, and smiled. Her face was shocked, confused, and slightly angry looking.

Next to her, Emmett looked shocked, but when he looked my way, you could see the hurt in his eyes.

Emmett.

Oh God, he knows I know he likes Rose, and then just then, argh, this is going to take a lot of explaining.

I watched as they talked, then walked out of the cafeteria.

This… is… bad.

BPOV

I watched as the blonde pulled away from Edward, shocked at what just happened, confused because I thought Edward liked me… kinda, and hurt, because of the last reason.

I looked over to Emmett, who was shocked and more hurt than I was.

"Emmett?" I asked, concern filled my voice.

"Bella, I think things are getting out of hand" Emmett mumbled, looking towards blondie.

Oh… Emmett liked her.

"Em… I'm sorry, I didn't know she'd do that" I mumbled.

"Don't worry about it, just… I dunno, tune it down a lil, it's all getting far too complicated" Emmett mumbled.

"I agree" I mumbled, walking out of the cafeteria, rubbing soothing circles on Emmett's back.

How do we turn it down, you may ask…

Easy.

Go back to the originals.

I smiled at my new plan.

'Just like old times'
