I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, turned around and hoped when I opened them again she would vanish into then air, but we both knew that wouldn't happen. I finally opened my eyes to see the last person I wanted to, Jessica Stanly.

"hello Jessica" I said without emotion.

"well don't be shy honey bun come here and give me a hug" she said not even noticing the tone in my voice.

"I think I'll pass" I said not moving an inch.

"well you know my arms are always open" she said emphasizing the word always and it made me want to gag right there on the spot.

I just nodded my head and turned to walk away and find someone else to talk to but she grabbed my upper arm to stop me "I mean always Emmett no matter what" she said and I couldn't tell if she was really truly serious, I hoped she really wasn't.

"get your hands off me, now" I said between clinched teeth hopefully that would help her get a clue!

"Im trying to help you Emmett, why wont you let me help you?" she asked, this was really starting to get annoying, what happened to leaving poor old Emmett alone?

"I dont need help especially not from you!" I said hoping she would just go away!

"You will soon Emmett you will and very soon, you'll see" she said as she talked her voice got low and threating. To bad I was about five feet taller than her and I wasn't scared of any thing most of my worst fears had already come true, so there was nothing left to freak out about.

"Whatever Jessica, please keep you hands off me" I said snatching my arm back. She didn't seem upset by this. Thats when Bella came to my rescue, yes I will admit a little late cut it was still a rescue mission.

"Are you okay Emmett?" Bella asked placing her hand on my upper arm, this time I didn't have the sudden urge to pull away.

"yeah I'm fine, thanks" I told her honestly

"And who are you?" Jessica asked in disgust

"Well I'm Isabella Swan, but Bella works real nice to, I'm so sorry my rudeness and you are?" Bella asked, I guess they really did have 'southern hospitality' in Alabama!

" You must be new, I'm Jessica Stanly" Jessica said it like she was a complete idiot for not knowing

"Oh its so great to meet you, I just got down here today still learnin my way 'round" Bella said, I wonder if she could tell what an awful person Jessica was or if she really was just that nice.

Jessica didn't said a word she just looked at Bella from her head to her toes and made a disgusted face, Bella was in cowboy boots short shorts with a belt buckle the size of texas and a plad shirt tucked into her shorts and sunglasses on top of her head.

For what she was wearing she really looked nice she gave it all a sort of cute farmer look. Jessica turned right around and walked away holding her nose up like she was better than everyone else, I could feel the anger bubbling up inside me but I just pushed it back down.

"Well okay... bye!" Bella said waving.

"Don't take offense to her-" I started to say but Bella cut me off

"Emmett I'm not worried about her attitude, trust me I know people just like her" she said shaking her head.

Then Alice came prancing in "Bella oh Bella where are you?" she said in her sing-song voice

"Right here Alice!" Bella said walking to were Alice was.

"Its time to eat so come come, oh you too Emmett" Alice said as if she didn't notice me!

"were are the girls?" I asked Alice just as they came running in yelling at each other.

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!" Paisley yelled at Payton

"YES YOU DID TOO I WAS TALKING TO HIM AND YOU JUST CAME UP YOUR SUCH A THIEF!" Payton yelled back.

"IT'S NOT MY FALT HE ACTUALLY LIKES TALKING TO ME AND THINKS YOUR A BORING FREAK!" Payton yelled back then Paige ran in and started pulling on my pants leg, and I picked her up. By this time everyone was looking at them like they were crazy so I pulled them both into the hall by the belt loops.

"Alright seriously guys whats going on here?" I asked looking at both of them.

"Paisleys being mean" Payton said narrowing her eyes at Paisley

"I am not, your just being a little Brat" Paisley said looking back at Payton.

I had had just about enough with all this name calling and yelling it was ridiculous!

"Okay thats enough with the name calling do you understand me? Now if someone doesn't start telling me whats going on this instance I swear I'm gonna get louder than I already am!" I said my voice was already getting louder with every word.

"Okay alright good lord Dad don't blow a gasket" Paisley said looking at me rolling her eyes.

"Do you enjoy pushing my buttons? Do you think its funny when you push me over the edge and I ground you, both of you?" I asked looking between both of them.

"sorry okay so I was talking to Travis-" Paisley started to say Payton cut her off.

"you mean flirting, thats what you were doing shamelessly with him, my love and you were flirting with him!" Payton said

"Oh shut up you don't even know what love it your such a little kid" Paisley said rolling her eyes

"Wooo no Payton you don't love him he's way to old for you and Paisley do not tell your sister to shut up thats rude, alright heres how we are going to settle this if neither of you can get along with each other then no one is aloud around Travis, and neither of you love him, your not aloud. There problem solved" I said nodding my head, what were they thinking Travis is way to old them!

"But Dad-" Payton started to whine

"No hush I don't want to hear it no go on to the table and at least try and be Seville to each other" I said turning to walk away. They followed behind me hufing and puffing.

"goodness what are you guys the big bad wolfs?" I ask that was one of my oldest cheesiest joke when one or both of the girls got all huffy and puffy.

"wow dad" Paisley said fighting back a smile and Payton just rolled her eyes but smiled and I knew every thing was back to normal now thank god!
