I woke up the next morning to a knock at my bedroom door. I attempted to sit up but was held down in my place. I glanced down to see Rose laying half on top of me with her arm across my stomach. We must have fallen asleep that way after I cried my eyes out to her as she soothingly stroked my hair and told me I deserved better. Emmett entered my room with a tray of breakfast. There was so much food that I assumed there was enough for the three of us. I gently nudged Rose off of me and shook her slightly.

"Wake up, Rosalie," I whispered. She sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"I brought us breakfast from that diner by the coffee shop. I thought you gals might want some breakfast." I had to admit that Emmett possessed every quality I would want in a spouse for my cousin. From what I could tell he was extremely sweet and kind. I could also tell that he loved Rose fiercly, which made him okay in my book.

"That was really nice of you, Emmett." I patted the empty space on the bed in front of Rose and me as an invitation for Emmett to sit down. Placing the tray in the center he sat down on the opposite side of Rosalie and me.

"No problem, Bella. It's the least I could do after the night you had. Although I still wish you would've let me kick the shit out of that Jacob guy last night," he replied before shoving a piece of pancake in his mouth.

"You're such a macho man, Emmett," Rosalie said as she took a bite out of a piece of bacon.

"Oh you know it, baby," he responded winking at Rose.

"Cut it out, guys. You're being totally gross." I couldn't help but feel jealous of their relationship. More than ever I understood what Rose meant when she had said that what Jake and I had wasn't love. For a time, I honestly believed that I loved him but along the way I kind of fell into a routine of accepting that no one else would want me. I was broken out of my thoughts by Rose nudging me.

"Geez, Bella, I thought I lost you there for a second," she said with a sad smile.

"Sorry, Rosalie, what were you saying?"

"I was saying that I called Nana Dwyer after you stormed out last night and she said she would sign off her guardianship on the savings account your inheritance is in for NYU, and I called my mom as well. She said you are more than welcome to come live in the apartment. I think she's more glad that I won't have to pay for that apartment anymore," she laughed

"How did you know that I decided to move?" I asked while trying to hide a smile. After last night we barely talked before she held me while I fell asleep crying. It was times like these where I didn't know how I survived an entire 20 years without having her closer to me.

"I knew you decided the minute you found out you were accepted. You just needed a little push from your favorite cousin," she grinned.

"Thanks, Rose, I really appreciate it…and you too, Emmett. The both of you have been really great and you've only been here for less than 24 hours. I promise my life isn't always this dramatic."

"Damn, I was hoping having you around would spice things up in New York. The fact that my brother is hopelessly miserable is starting to lose it's fun for me." Rose and I both just stared at Emmett with a quizzical expression on our faces.

"Oh yeah, my brother Edward… well he's like the perfect definition of an Emo kid. He pretty much never laughs and takes everything way too seriously, so I enjoy irritating the hell of out of him but he's gotten really good at just ignoring me. I need someone new to bug," he explained with a shrug.

"You will do no such thing Emmett Cullen," Rosalie growled.

"Alright. Alright. Geez, babe, relax."

After we got breakfast and cleaned ourselves up, I decided that it would be nice to cook dinner for Charlie before I broke the news to him that I was moving across the country. We proceeded to spend the day getting the rest of my things from Jacob's apartment while he was away at work. I wanted to avoid a confrontation at all cost, which didn't please Emmett very much. After we were done at Jake's, we made a pit stop at the supermarket.

I grabbed a shopping cart upon entering and made my way to the vegetable aisle with Rose and Emmett following closely behind me. I decided on making the steak that I already had at home along with a side of potatoes and broccoli. I was putting a bundle of broccoli in my cart when Rosalie tugged on my arm and practically dragged me into the cereal aisle with Emmett behind us wheeling the cart.

"What the hell was that for, Rose?!" I asked stunned by her actions.

"Ah crap, I saw Jake's friends and I didn't know if you wanted to see them," she explained in a hushed voice.

"Can I fight one of them?" Emmett asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"NO!" Rose and I replied in unison.

"Fine. Chill out, ladies. Geez. I thought this was a vacation, Rose. You don't let me do anything fun!" he sighed

"Sorry, but my definition of fun does not include taking care of you after you get your ass kicked by a group of huge Quileute boys." Before Emmett could protest we heard the sound of the group getting closer and closer to us.

"They just broke up. Are you even sure she wants to talk to us? I don't even think that was her," I heard Embry say as they turned the corner.

"BELLA!" Seth yelled as he jogged towards me and pulled me into a tight embrace.

I let out an umph as his arms circled me and awkwardly patted him on the back. "Hey there, Seth," I said as he let go of me and took a step back. "Oh, Hey Quil, Embry, Paul," I greeted the group with a nod.

"Hi, Bella," they replied almost simultaneously.

"Where the hell did you guys run off to! We have to hurry if…" Leah said as she rounded the corner pausing mid sentence when her eyes settled on me. "Oh…Bella," she said surprised. "I didn't know you were here."

"You must be the bitch that was on her knees for my cousin's boyfriend," Rosalie responded, and before I could speak, she had moved to stand right in front of Leah with Emmett and I flanking her. The rest of the guys stood aside awkwardly.

"Gross," Seth commented.

"Baby, where did you run of to?" Jake yelled down the aisle, stopping short as he spotted the group of us. I never realized how tiny a supermarket aisle could get.

To say that this was getting awkward would be an understatement. I could sense the anger coming from Rose as she stared Jake down but before any of us could speak Emmett threw his arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek. He lingered near my ear to whisper, "Just play along."

"Come on baby, lets get out of here," Emmett said while placing a soft kiss on my neck.

I stood there stunned for a moment not sure what to do. Thank heavens Rose cut in before I could embarrass myself.

"Hello, Jacob. Long time since I last saw you," she said as she nodded in his direction.

"Yeah, nice to see you, Rose," he responded warily as he moved to stand by Leah.

"Oh, so you're Jacob then," Emmett stated. "I owe you a thanks, man."

"For what?" Jacob replied curiously.

"For fucking up with Bella. Now I get to have her all to myself when she moves to New York. I wasn't sure how I could contain myself with her living in the same apartment as me. One look at her in a towel and that would've broken all my will power…" He paused before saying, "Well I guess that's what broke it last night anyway." Rose let out a chuckle and I mentally thanked god that she understood what Emmett was doing. I couldn't help but laugh a little at the stunned expression on Jacob's face.

"You were fucking this guy behind my back, Bella? And you punched me in the face for cheating! You're such a slut, I bet you had no problem sucking his dick." Jake said as he stepped forward and came to a stop right in front of Emmett and me with his arms crossed.

Uh-oh. This could get ugly.

It was at the mention of me punching him in the face that I really took in his appearance. His eye was definitely starting to bruise, and I couldn't help but feel a little empowered by the fact that I was the cause of it.

"I never cheated on you, Jake. I have these great things that people sometimes have, and they're called morals. As for giving Emmett a blowjob. Well you caught me there. I mean look at him. What girl, no matter what her objections, wouldn't get on her knees to worship him," I said. I was scared that I went too far but I glanced at Rose and her facial expression exuded pride.

"You mother fucker," Jake said as he lunged for Emmett but before he could get any closer Quil and Embry jumped in between the two. I was knocked into some cereal boxes as Emmett pushed me aside to safety.

"Aw well, it was nice meeting you, Jakey-poo," Emmett said as he stepped closer to Jake. I held my breath as Emmett reached over the boys to pinch Jake's cheek. I swear that if Embry and Quil weren't holding Jake back there would have been a massive call for a clean up on Aisle 5.

"Lets go, guys, before I have the urge to show this bitch how New York City girls get down," Rose said as she pulled Emmett and me back.

"I will fucking kill you, Emmett," Jake yelled as we turned to leave the aisle. Before we turned the corner, Emmett place his hand in the back of my pocket and squeezed my ass as he looked back and winked at Jacob. From the corner on my eye I could see Jake struggling as Embry and Quil pushed him in the opposite direction. As Emmett and I got to the front of the supermarket we noticed Rose standing at the door with a bag of groceries in her hand. I guess during the tella novella I failed to notice that she had taken the cart and paid for our items.

"Emmett was too busy groping you so I rushed ahead and bought the broccoli and potatoes 'cause the faster we get out of here the better," she explained.

We both nodded. I felt like I was being watched so I instinctively turned my head to find out who it was, only to see Jake at the register with Leah standing next to him. He was looking at me with a pained expression on his face while Leah just glared. I couldn't help myself and flipped them the finger as I smiled and ran through the doors to catch up with Rose and Emmett, thankful that I managed to stay upright and not make a fool out of myself.

We rushed home so I could get started before Charlie arrived. As I was unloading the groceries and starting to prepare dinner I began to feel guilty about leaving Charlie alone but I realized that if I stayed to take care of him then I would just end up alone myself and I knew that was the last thing that my dad wanted for me.

After my mom left, he sort of shut himself off to the possibility of falling in love again. I always assumed that he still held a torch for her. After she remarried I think he finally got the hint that she was never coming back. He dated a little but nothing ever panned out. I think he just accepted that at his age there was nothing left for him. At least he had a job he loved, a loving group of friends and an awesome daughter.

I ended up cooking dinner alone because Rose and Emmett had disappeared. I shuddered at the thought of what they might be doing. Emmett was very attractive, but I didn't need to imagine him in the throes of passion with someone who was basically my sister. Luckily, they reappeared just as Charlie walked in the door, saving me the task of covering up their whereabouts.

"Ah, so nice of you to join us," I announced to them all. Rose sort of glared and Emmett had a look of triumph on his face, as if I needed any more proof.

Everyone sat down and chatted as I finished up dinner. I had decided on making the t-bone steaks and homemade mashed potatoes because I was hoping they would soften the blow of my moving announcement.

"This is great, Bells!" Charlie said cheerfully as he stuffed a spoonful of mashed potatoes into his mouth. After he finished chewing he pushed his half eaten plate aside and grabbed an envelope from his back pocket and placed it on the table. "This wouldn't have anything to do with this acceptance letter from New York University would it?"

The three of us stared at him dumbfounded. "Yes sir," I answered nervously.

"You know that I don't like the idea of you moving to a place like New York all by yourself, well I guess you'll be with Rosalie…" He sighed before continuing, "Look Bella, I know you're an adult, but New York City is a scary place. So I called your aunt and spoke with her. I know she's in New Jersey but that's closer than Forks so she agreed to keep an eye on you and assured me that you'd be just fine."

Rose and I had been looking at each other warily, waiting for Charlie to protest and demand that I remain in Forks forever, but it never came. I jumped out of my seat and threw my arms around Charlie's neck and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Thanks so much, Dad. I'm going to miss you."

I let him go and sat back down in my seat. He had this sort of shocked expression on his face. I guess it was because it was the most emotion I'd shown towards him since I was 5 and cried for my daddy after falling into some mud.

"Sure, sure. Just keep some pepper spray on you and don't go anywhere alone at night," he replied as he began to finish his meal.

"I'll make sure to watch after her," Emmett said with a smile.

"I'm sure you will, Emmett," Charlie responded with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Rose and I proceeded to spend most of the night packing and gushing over childhood photos of us that I owned. Once we packed the photos and I was brought back to the present. I felt the need to apologize to Rose. Although there was nothing going on between Emmett and I, I couldn't help but feel guilty about what had happened earlier in the supermarket.

"About earlier Rose, I'm sorry about that. I had no idea that Emmett would do that," I said as I began packing an empty box with books.

"You don't need to be sorry. I thought it was brilliant. The look on their faces was worth having to watch my husband throw himself all over my cousin, but just to warn you Bella, he will never let you forget what he said about the blow job thing," she warned as she tossed some more books into the box.

"Great!" I rolled my eyes and blushed. I didn't even know where that little rant came from at the time. "Thank you, Rose."

"For what, Bella?" she asked as she looked at me with apparent confusion.

"For everything," I replied. "For giving me the push I needed, for talking to Grammy Dwyer and letting me move into your apartment. Most of all for being the only person who really gets me."

"Don't even mention it, Bella," she said with tears in her eyes as she walked around the box to pull me into a hug. We stood there hugging for what felt like eternity before we both glanced at the door expecting Emmett to barge in and make some comment alluding to some girl on girl action. When it was apparent that no such thing would happen, we both laughed and shook our heads.

"He's a great guy," I said with a smile.

"I know," was all she said before we continued to pack.

Once we were done packing, Rose informed me that while she and Emmett disappeared earlier she had talked to him about my transfer, he said that it was no problem and he was excited for me to meet the rest of his family and get to know me.

I shut off my side table lamp and snuggled into bed. It was then that it had finally sunk in. In less then 24 hours my life had completely turned upside down. I would be in New York by the weekend, and my new life would finally begin.
