AN: The votes came out even, so I went with the outtake. Sorry if you wanted the next chapter. I know this is kind of different. Outtakes are supposed to come at the end, but then you guys would be confused as to where they belong. These scenes were taken out of the story for an obvious reason Bella wasn't there to tell it. But I thought you would like to know what had been going on at the time.
I don't own twilight or bad reputation.
Outtake 1: Rose/Emmett weekend (Friday the same day Emmett asked Rose out)
Rose spotted Emmett climbing onto his bike in the parking lot.
"Um Muscles. Hi," she uttered shyly.
"Hello. Are you okay?" he asked.
She nodded.
"You know you didn't have to be so rude."
"I know and I'm sorry, but I was angry at Bella for pushing me to go out with someone. I'll do it when I'm ready."
"You're right and I figured as much." He was about to leave.
"H-hold on. I was talking with a counselor. I feel broken. See my problem is I'm afraid I can't defend myself."
"So take one of those self defense courses," he recommended.
"But that's the problem. I'm too embarrassed to go. I was hoping maybe you could show me some defense techniques."
"Me? Why me?"
"Because I can't imagine anyone better at it."
Emmett realized she was taking a step to better herself. "Okay. I think I know a couple of things I could teach you. Meet me at the Y on Saturday morning, 9:00."
"Sure."
*0*
Saturday morning Rose dressed in her gym clothes prepared for a lesson in self defense.
"Okay, first thing you need to show confidence. Don't let them know you're afraid. The attacker could use that," Emmett explained.
"How do I do that?"
"No crying. If you yell, you know for help, yell 'no' or 'fire' those words always get other people's attention."
"No or fire," she repeated.
"Another thing, fight dirty. Go for any soft part the attacker has. Use what you got like your well groomed nails and go at his eyes, ears, hair, or . . . his crouch."
"Really?" she questioned.
"Yeah, show no mercy," he laughed. "Now remember, you simply fighting back will scare the guy, but if it doesn't I'll show you some trick maneuvers that will allow you to use the guy's weight against him."
They went through each maneuver carefully going step by step, fighting stands, and flip techniques. He showed her how to throw a punch and trip an assailant. It was mid afternoon before they knew it.
"Okay, pretend I'm coming after you." He started to come at her with open hands, prepared to grab her. She pulled him and swung him over to the ground, but lost her balance and landed on top of him. They were both laughing. She hadn't laughed like this since before her attack. She felt like a weight lifted off of her.
"You almost got it," he claimed.
She didn't move off of him. Instead she leaned down and softly kissed him once.
He was frozen for a moment. "You kissed me."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to violate your space." She got up to a standing position again.
"It's okay." He shook his head to clear it. "You want to try the flip again?" he asked delicately. She nodded.
He came at her and she flipped him correctly, but he twisted and landed hard.
"Ow! I think I cracked my ass."
She giggled. "Oh no, you won't be able to sit anymore." She came to sit on the floor beside him. "I really appreciate you helping me."
"No problem," he smiled.
She leaned back looking up at the ceiling, feeling the smile on her face. "Can I ask you something personal?"
"Depends on what it is," he replied.
She rotated to face him. "What's your real name?"
He took a moment to answer. He rotated his body to her. "It's Emmett. Kind of corny, huh?"
"No. I like it." She gazed into his baby blue eyes, which made him oddly nonthreatening. She moved her head closer and connected her lips to his.
They were kissing for about thirty seconds before Emmett's hand came up and glided through her hair. That's when she pulled away.
"How dare you take advantage of me!" she hollered. Emmett was confused. She stood up and he quickly followed.
"What? Take advantage?"
"You're forcing a kiss on me."
He saw her eyes begin to tear. "No, Rose I didn't," he gently spoke.
"No." She retreated back towards the door.
"Rose," he called to her. He followed at a quick walking pace. "Don't go."
She stopped by the door and glanced at him for a moment then turned to leave.
Outtake 2: Rosalie and Emmett (Monday when Rosalie ran off)
"Just leave me alone," Rose mumbled and left the table.
She walked the halls keeping her arms wrapped around her torso. Finding a room all to herself, she closed the lights and slowly allowed the tears to fall. Her face turned red and blotchy. She took out a mirror from her bag. She stared at her reflection and scowled. She prized herself on always looking her best, but recently she has been a failure in that department. She pulled out some tissues to wipe her face and her foundation. Her facial bruises were practically gone, but she felt the residual broadcasted her inadequacies.
While she dabbed and smoothed over her face, Jacob and the three stooges passed. Emmett noticed her through the window, but didn't stop. When they got closer to the cafeteria Victoria appeared.
"Victoria, where have you been?" James quested.
"Nowhere."
"I've called you and you don't answer your cell. Is something wrong?"
"I just need a break," she responded. She started off.
He went after her. "Guys, I'll catch you later."
Paul shook his head. "He's got it bad."
"Speaking of getting it," Jacob said as he glanced into the cafeteria. "Look who's sitting next to Bella again."
"Hey guys I forgot something back there," Emmett said taking his opportunity. "I'll be back in a minute."
Emmett walked back to the dark classroom. He took a breath and walked in.
"Hi. Are you okay?"
Rosalie got up. "What do you want?"
"I was concerned. You took off. I wasn't trying to do anything. You kissed me."
"No," she whispered shaking her head.
He could tell she was embarrassed about it. He turned around to have his back to her. "Rose, please? I'll keep my hands to myself. Just . . . just kiss me again. I don't want you to shut yourself in, because you may never open up."
He didn't hear anything. He slowly turned back to find she was standing behind him.
"Rose," he whispered. She lifted her hand to his face and stroked his cheek. Her violet eyes focused on his baby blues and a tear rolled down her face. She took a deep breath and leaned in. Their eyes closed in the moment and Emmett stood still allowing Rose to be the one in control. She continued to kiss him even though her tears kept flowing.
When she pulled away to take a breath, he spoke. "Do you want to meet me for dinner this Friday? Nothing major, just food." He had a minute smile on his face.
She slowly nodded and kissed him again.
The door opened suddenly and Bella walked in.
"Omigosh!" she exclaimed. They pulled apart. "I'm so sorry. I was just worried—"
"It's fine," Rose interrupted. She wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out. Bella looked at Emmett. He averted his eyes. Bella went after her.
This is a bit different, an outtake on an outtake. I didn't want to go into another relationship story, so I kept it pretty minor. But it does explain why some things happened later.
Outtake on an outtake — What happened with Victoria and James?
"Victoria, where have you been?" James quested.
"Nowhere."
"I've called you and you don't answer your cell. Is something wrong?"
"I just need a break," she responded. She started off.
He went after her. "Guys, I'll catch you later."
"Victoria what do you mean you need a break?" he asked her.
"I mean I have big exams coming and I'm seriously stressed out. I need my alone time to study. I'm not a super brain. I have to earn my grades. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring you."
He embraced her in a gentle hug. "It is okay. You could just say you need to study. I would understand. If you want, we could study together. I'm not a whiz either, but Volcano needs help in his classes and he studies with Bella."
"Bella? Well that's a possibility," she considered.
AN: I hope you liked this little break from the flow of the story. Next chapter is back to Bella and Jacob. Don't forget to review.
