"Emmet!" three voices simultaneously called out as he punched Jasper in the face.

"What is the meaning behind this?" Esme says coolly walking through the entrance. "Now?"

Unfortunately, while she was hoping for one person to explain, four voices started explaining things.

"Jasper smacker her-"

"Emmett Just punched me-"

"HE'S BLEEDING!-'"
"Mom I don't kn-"

Esme raised her hand to stop Rosalie, Jasper, Edward and myself from continuing. "One at a time thank you"

"I don't know what happened. Jasper just smacked Bellas as-butt and Emmett freaked out"

"what do you mean you don't know Rosalie! Bella is my girlfriend, and you all just expect me to watch as Jasper constantly assaults her and tries to get her in bed!"

"Emmett! Japser doesn't want to bed me!"

"He does!"
"Emmett that's enough. I think it's best you and your parents go for tonight. Carlisle!"

Jasper groaned on the floor as he held his bloodied face, I crouched down and held his hand. "you'll be okay. It's just a broken nose. I've given you worse before."

Jasper tried to laugh at my antics but it just hurt his face more, so he resulted in smiling softly up at me.

"That's what I'm talking about! Look at them! He's in love with her and we all know it I just! Agh!" Emmett stormed out of the room, and I followed.

"Emmett!" I yell at him as he's walking out of the house to his parents car. "Emmett! We need to talk! EMMETT" He finally turned around and faced me with a glare.

"What." He demanded

"Emmett you can't just go punching people out of nowhere. Jasper is my best friend Emmett!"

"He's in love with you!"
"No!" I yell back, "he's not. I love Jasper and he loves me, but we aren't in love. There is a difference. Japser is my best friend!"

"Then why, pray tell, does he smack your ass!"

"Because I've known him forever. He's my best friend. Hell Emmett if I didn't know better I'd say he's gay!"
"And how do you know better?!"

"BECAUSE WE FUCKED OKAY!?"

Emmett stood in shock silence.

"Emmett I've known him my whole life! We grew up together, we were each others firsts and I love him. But I'm not in love with him! You can't just punch him!"

"But you're my girlfriend he has no right! And you have a past you can't expect me not to be jealous. Shit Bella."

"you just don't get it. Emmett if you can't accept my relationship with my best friend then you can't have a relationship with me. We're a package deal." I said solemnly, turning away.

"Bella what are you saying?"

"I'm saying, that if you don't trust me enough to be around my friend than I can't be with you."

"Bella I-" I shake my head and walk away, tears forming in my eyes.

Tuesday morning, a week and two days later, I finally go to school after a much needed vacation to California with Jasper, Edward, and Rosalie, I wake up in my own bed. Sighing, I get up and look in the mirror. I look like shit "I look like hell has beaten me down" I say to myself.

"Yeah, you do" says Jasper from my bed, smiling at me from his side.

I smile faintly and head to the shower. "Care if I join?'

"Not at all." I say over my shoulder, "In your room, in your shower."

Jasper laughs and gets out of my bed, still in his sleeping pants. Jasper was the best body pillow. Nothing more.

Humming to myself I grab my phone and see a missed call from Emmett, signing I lock my screen, use to seeing missed calls from him, The phone, however, went off again, this time with Alices number.

"Bella" I say, aggravated to hear her voice this early.

"Bella it's me." Emmett says form the other end. "Don't hang up. Look, I'm sick today and I can't take the kids to school. My mom is in the hospital on bed rest and my dad had to work at 5 am. Can you please take them to school. Please"

"Emmett I'm not your girlfriend you can't ask me-"

"I know but I'm asking anyway. Please."

"Fine" I sigh. "I'll be there at 7:45"

"Thanks Bella, I'll have them all ready. You'll have to take the kids to Forks Elementary, and Carl goes to the day care center on the east of the elementary. I'm sorry"

"it's fine" I hang up, dreading lugging kids around.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

I left my house at 7;20. Much earlier than usual mind you, and I borrowed my mom's Mercedes Benz GLK. My car only had 4 seats, and my mom's has 6, so it's a lot better to lug kids around.

I pulled into Emmetts parking space, and walked to the door.

"Thank you so much Bella. Here I'll go strap the car seat in." Emmett looked like hell, and I felt bad for him.

"No, Em, go to bed, I know how to put a car seat in. C'mon little man." I said as I picked Carl up.

Carl's car seat was in the first row, seated with megan and, derrick opted to sit in the back back, "That's so cool! I've never seen a back back as nice as this before!" He had said, Alice was seated in the passenger's seat.

The Mccarty's only live about a half mile from the high school, but the elementary school was 7 miles south of that, which is why they couldn't walk.

"So," I started conversation, "How're you guys? I haven't seen you in a week!"

"I'm fine." Megan said shortly.

"well.." It was quiet again.

"They are mad at you because you hurt Emmett's feelings." Alice said, she also seemed mad at me.

"I-" I was cut off by Carl's babbling.

I stayed quiet until we got to the school. I helped stayed in the car with Carl, and Alice dropped the kids off at school, telling the office that Esme would pick them up. Esme had offered to babysit, as I had Cheer after school, and it was important Rose and I were there, as we had missed a week.

After I dropped Carl off, I went to school myself. My Mom was going to drop off my car, and take hersd at about 9 or something, I don't know, I was just told to leave her keys in the office.

That night, Roger McCarty visited his wife in the hospital and explained the situation. Emmett was down with the flu, and couldn't be around the kids, so Esme and Carlisle Cullen had arranged with him to babysit them. Alice was to stay wherever she pleased.

Gia McCarty was not pleased in the least that her children were going to be corrupted by the rich.
