Bella's father was starting to really piss me off. The way he was putting her down and telling her that her dreams weren't real enough to be reality. Who did this guy think he was God or something. He was the most judgmental prick I had ever met. I whispered into Bella's ear to ignore him but the sentiment didn't go unnoticed by him.
"Again, who the hell are you and why are you toughing my little girl?" He took a step towards me. "You think you can just use her for your needs! Shes only 19 for christ sakes!"
"Charlie chill the hell out. Nothing is going on between them. I would know and I would beat his ass." A smirk was on Emmett's face but Bella's shoulders slumped and she moved away from me and left out the front door. More yelling started between Charlie and Emmett but it was Rose who finally stepped in.
"Okay, shut the hell up both of you!" Surprisingly they did. "First of all Emmett your as blind as a bat!"
"What? Why, I-"
"Shut up, you just are! And you!" She looked at me. "You should have told him awhile ago because he may be blind but I'm not. Today was conformation enough." I really didn't know what to say so I just stood there. "And you," She rounded on Charlie and for the first time his angry features faltered to that of a scared man. "You should be ashamed of yourself! Your daughter is the most caring and understanding person I have ever met! She doesn't hate you even after everything you have said and done to her! When she puts her mind on something she wants, she gets it! Hell look at this place! Before her Emmett and Edward were hanging on by a thread and now they have more costumers then they know what to do with! So if she wants to open a dance studio, I would bet my money on her you, you no good piece of shit.. sperm donor!" Rose finished her speech and stormed out of the shop running in the direction that Bella had went.
We stood in silence after that. I wasn't sure what to say. Emmett looked between Charlie and me and let out a long sigh. "Edward, what was Rose talking about? About me being blind and you should have told me?" I looked at Charlie not really wanting to have this conversation in front of him. Emmett seemed to understand and turned to his Dad. "I think you should go. If Bella wants to talk to you, I'm sure she will but I'm not forcing her." Charlie nodded. I guess what Rose said seemed to affect him because he didn't fight Emmett. He just pulled out a paper to put his number on for the hotel he would be staying at for the night and left.
"So." I said stupidly.
"Yea."
"Wanna grab a beer? Talk?" I asked. He nodded and walked out locking up.

"Hey." I jumped at Rose's voice as she came to sit next to me on the sand. "You ok?"
"I don't know."
"Just talk. You need to get it out and I'm not here to judge, about anything." I gave her a side glance and took a deep breath. She had come after me to make sure I was ok. I hadn't spent a lot of time with her so far but I did like her. I trusted her. She was good for Emmett and she made him happy.
"I just, I don't know what I was thinking. That Emmett would be ok with it. I mean I always knew that was a possiblilty that he would get pissed but I really, I don't know, thought maybe it would all be ok. And now I just feel stupid for believing it could work. Maybe I should go back with my Dad. Not say a word to Emmett about it all and just thank him for taking care of me."
"I doubt he will let you walk away that easily. He loves that your here. He talks about you all the time. To be honest if you weren't blood related I would be jealous." She winked when I looked at her and I smiled. "Look the comment Emmett made was stupid. Yes Edward should have talked to Edward first but you can't change that now."
"How long have you known?"
"Since the party, well I was wondering before that but you slipping up about being on him in a position where he would push you off him." I nodded. I figured that she knew since then.
"God how could I be so stupid! I mean really, how did I ever think I could just move down here and start over? Start college? And then to top it off, add Edward to the mix and I'm destroying a friendship!" I slammed myself back into the sand.
"No, no, no. Don't do that. Your Dad was wrong. I've seen that. Do I think it will be easy? No. But I know you can do it."
"How? How do you believe that and I can't. For that matter neither can my Dad."
"Because he doesn't want to see you as independent, why? I'm not sure. But I believe you can do this because I see the determination in you. Emmett boasts about you all the time. He is so proud of you. And the way Edward looks at you. I've never seen that look on his face before. He cares about you a lot."
"You think?"
"Yea, so I don't think you should leave. And I doubt Edward, Emmett, Alice, or even Jasper would want you to either." I let out a small laugh as I tear dropped down my face.
"I really don't want Emmett to hate Edward."
"Oh sweetie he won't," She put her arm around my shoulders. "I can't say he won't be mad but I doubt it will be because of your relationship, he will just be mad he wasn't told. He loves you and wants you happy."
