Rocket Launcher and New Song
It was a treat to see the boys face, even Edward was shocked and scared. I, Rosalie and Alice where laughing our lungs out.
"Why did you do this to me, Rosie?" Emmett asked in a sweet, four year old voice.
"Oh, baby. This is what you get when you mess with us." Rosalie backfired.
"But, what did I do?" Edward asked, confused.
"You did not do anything, Edward. It was just your fate that you landed in the shots. But don't worry, our little Bella saved you from getting humiliated like these two." Alice said pointing towards Emmett and Jasper. Edward turned towards me and shot me one of his famous crooked smile, I blushed and looked down.
"Ow Bella, I thought you where my lil sis!" Emmett exclaimed in a hurtful voice.
"Yeah Bella, I thought you were a sister to me too." Jasper wined.
"Come on guys, after what you did you totally deserved it. And after all Edward was not involved with you guys so he is spared, if he would have been a part of your prank then even if Bella would have protected him, he would have not being spared." Alice explained, smiling evilly. God, I would never mess with this pixie or else I don't know what she would do with me.
"Aw Ali, how could you think ill of you own brother. I mean it's ok with Jazzy – poo, but with your own brother. How could you?" Ok, now Emmett was being over dramatic. This earned him a smack by Jasper.
"Never call me that!" Jasper was pissed.
"Yeah, right. Whatever." He said to Jasper and then turned towards Rosalie. "And baby, how could you betray me? You know how much I love you."
"How much do you love me Em?" Rosalie asked in a seductive voice.
"Aw Rosie, don't do that to me." Emmett was practically drooling over Rose. Looking at her like a lost puppy.
"Tell me Em, how much do you love me?" She asked again, this time more seductive. Emmett got off the couch and came towards Rose, lust evident in his eyes. He came forward and was about to press his lips to her when she smacked his arm and pulled away. "Emmett, answer the question first." She said, retreating.
"Very much, so much that I could bring the stars for you." Nice. I have never seen Emmett saying anything so deep.
"So bring them then." She piped.
"Bring what?" Emmett asked in a confused voice.
"The stars, Emmett." She replied, playing with Emmett.
"But how?" Emmett mumbled. "Jazzy. How can I bring the stars for my Rosie?" Emmett turned towards Jasper.
"First, stop calling me that stupid name. I don't know which idiot kept that name. And second you will need a rocket to go up there and get the stars." Emmett was about to answer but Jasper held up one hand and stopped him. "Emmett, to launch that rocket, you will need a rocket launcher too." He added.
"Well. Jazzy – poo, firstly I did not keep that name of yours…." Jasper interrupted him.
"Then who kept this unintelligible name?" He questioned.
"Alice kept it." Emmett said pointing towards a fuming Alice. Jasper's eyes widened in shock and realization.
"Oh my, Ali. I thought it was Emmett who kept it and so I was just…" He started explaining but Alice was way too furious to listen to anyone for that matter.
"Jasper!" She exclaimed so loudly that all of us had to cover our ears to protect our eardrums. "How could you forget it? It was the first ever nickname I gave you?" Ok, now Alice was beyond pissed.
"Ali, listen to me…" He once again started to explain, which just made even angrier.
"Don't call me that!" Was the reply he earned. When this didn't work, he turned towards Rose. His eyes were practically screaming 'please help me'. I felt bad for him. Poor Jasper. On the other hand Rose turned her head towards Alice.
"Rosie, you too." Jasper wined.
"I am sorry Jasper, but this is your fight so I am not coming in the middle of this. And even if I would have to come, then I am with Alice." Then she turned towards Emmett. "And Emmett, I need the stars or forget about kissing me for a week." She said in a seductive voice. On the other hand it seem like someone had slapped Emmett right across the face.
"Rosie, baby, come on. We are not like Jazzy – poo and Alice?" But Rosalie seemed stuck on her decision.
"Em, honey. Be lucky that I still love you." With this she got up, Alice did the same. I was way too confused to follow their actions. "Come on girls, let's go downstairs." She said, I got up too and gave one last look at Edward, who was staring at me and started walking out of the door. Rose suddenly stopped and turned towards them. "Martha asked me to tell you that if you guys are not dressed up and down in ten minutes then there will be no breakfast for you, so hurry." With this we left.
"But Rose, I did not remember Martha telling us anything about no breakfast?" I asked, wondering that is my memory going weak. I might have to eat soaked raisins in the morning.
"No Bella, she did not." She answered as we reached towards the stairs.
"Then why…." I again started to wander aloud. I will have to stop this before I say something wrong aloud. I made a mental note of it.
"Oh gosh, Bella. Get a life and have some fun. I just said to get them out of that room, I would like to see how they all manage to bathe and get dressed in ten minutes, with only one bathroom and Emmett in the line." She said the last line as a matter of fact. Alice laughed loudly at this, I rolled my eyes at them. We reached kitchen and Martha was nowhere to be seen.
"So, what do you guys wanna do today?" Alice asked, excitedly.
"Alice, where do you store so much of energy in this small pixie body of yours?" I asked. She stuck her tongue out, I laughed. Alice was just about to make a remark when the boys entered the kitchen.
"Come on guys, help me please." Emmett wined as he entered the kitchen. When they entered the kitchen we girls burst out in fits of laughter at the sight before us. Jasper's hair where sticking out just like Alice's, Emmett's hairs still had the foam of the soap and Edward's hair where a mess. Not that I complaint, I like seeing them like this.
"Where's Martha?" Jasper asked, looking around. Alice was still mad at Jasper but could not control her laughter. When we did not answer and kept on laughing Jasper went around in search of her. Right on cue Martha appeared. When she saw the boys, she too started laughing. At this we laughed harder. I peeked to look at Edward who was staring at me, with a smile on his face. This suddenly made me self-conscious of myself, I looked away, blushing furiously.
"What did you girls do?" Martha finally asked after her laughter died down.
"We did not do anything." Alice replied innocently.
"Girls" Martha said narrowing her eyes.
"Ok, fine we did." Rosalie accepted her crime.
"And may I know what that was?"
"You can see it on You Tube." Alice casually replied, Martha's eyes widened.
"What did you do that they are in such a condition? And what do you mean see it on You Tube?" Now she was getting angry.
"First of all, we are not responsible for their condition, they are responsible for it themselves. And secondly, since it is payback so we did what they did to us." Alice explained.
"Ok, fine." She sighed, nobody can win against Alice. "Now, you boys first go up and clean yourself and then you get the breakfast." Martha said as she turned towards the boys.
"But Martha, I am hungry." Emmett wined.
"When are you not hungry." I heard Jasper murmured in a low voice, but Emmett heard. All of us heard. We all burst out in another round of laughter. This surely is one of Emmett's worst days. He huffed.
"Ok, enough of that, boys go upstairs and clean yourselves." Martha commanded. "Quick" She said when she saw that no one moved. At this the guys slowly started out of the room. As soon as they were out of the room, we started laughing again. Gosh, I don't even remember when was the last time I laughed this much. Right now I had tears in my eyes and my sides where hurting from laughing so much.
"So, what are we doing today?" I asked them since I could see no sign of them letting me go home tonight. Alice was just about to open her mouth but I raised my hand to silence her. "No, Alice. We will not go shopping." I said sternly.
"But….." She argued but I was not in a mood of shopping today.
"No 'Buts'' Alice. We are not going shopping. And even if you are going then I am going back home. The choice is yours." Yes, for the very first time somebody defeated Alice and I am proud to do the honor.
"Wow, Bella! That was quite impressive of you." Rosalie praised me. I blushed even deeper.
"What's impressive?" I heard a velvety voice ask from behind. It starleted me so badly that I jumped up and when landed back lost my balance. I was ready for the impact, but it never came. I felt a pair of strong arms around my waist, I looked up only to find a pair of green eyes looking at me. As soon as I looked in them I got lost. "Sorry" He murmured as I snapped out of my daze. I heard someone clear the throat so he gently lifted me up, I blushed ten shades deeper. "By the way, I like your dress." He whispered in my ear as he set me on my feet.
"Thanks" Was all I could say. He smiled.
"So, what do we do today?" Alice asked as I stepped away.
"Well…" Jasper started.
"I did not ask you." Alice growled at him. "So, Edward. What do you think?" She turned towards him. Edward was about to answer but a booming voice interrupted him. I mentally cursed Emmett for that.
"Well, let's play ten fingers." Emmett suggested.
"Yay! Let's play!" Alice squealed, I groaned. This game never ends well. As Alice started towards the living room, Jasper caught her arm and took her towards the kitchen. Alice protested but went. We all started after them, trying to figure out what just happened.
"Come on Bella, let's go." Rose said grabbing my arm, I was still in shock so I stumbled as she dragged me along with her.
"Rosie baby, please listen to me." Emmett said as he came in front of Rosalie out of nowhere. Man, that bear is fast. Rosalie tried to doge him but he caught her by the waist.
"Emmett, what do you want?" She asked, clearly frustrated.
"A kiss." He simply said as he started to bend over Rosalie, but she moved away.
"Not until you get me a star." She demanded.
"But how can I get one?" He said, releasing her, so he could scratch his head. Emmett only does that when he is confused.
"That's your problem." She started to walk away but Emmett again caught her.
"Rosie, please." He made his famous puppy dog face. From Rose's expression, I could see that she was not falling for it. Staying with Emmett has made her immune to it. Good, cauz I always fall for that.
"No Emmett." She said sternly. "And if you continue to beg, then I'll extend it to two weeks." Emmett let go of her and sighed in defeat. Just then we saw Alice and jasper coming out of the kitchen, walking hand – in – hand. Good, atleast one of them has resolved their issues. I smiled at them, Alice beamed in response.
"Come on, let's play ten fingers." As she said, Jasper's stomach growled loudly.
"Looks like someone is hungry." Alice said in a playful tone, Jasper kissed her neck. I looked away, feeling like an intruder. Then we all started towards the kitchen where Martha had already set the plates for them. Emmett quickly went and started scarfing them down like a hungry bear. I guess the food was still warm cauz it burned his tongue, so after two or three bits he dropped his fork and swallowed the glass of milk that was in front of him. On the other hand Edward and Jasper where eating slowly and with manners.
"Guys, you need to help me build a rocket launcher." Emmett said, with his mouth full of food.
"First of all, Emmett we don't speak with our mouth full. And secondly, why do you need a rocket launcher?" I asked.
"So that I could bring my Rosie the stars." He answered my second question, ignoring the first as this time too he spoke with a full mouth.
"Emmett, what if you fall down from it?" Edward asked in a playful tone. In all these years, Edward has blended with us quite easily. While on the other hand, Jane never spoke to us and always looked at us with angry eyes.
"Then we will have to build it strong." He simply replied. Edward was amazed, he did not expect such a straight, sensible answer from him.
"What if it crashes?" Jasper said, playing along.
"Then I will use the parachute." Again he answered in simple words. Did this bad day made him go sane, I thought.
"What if the parachute failed?" Edward piped, seeing what he answers next.
"The I'll catch him." This time Rosalie answered. Just then I got the idea. I quickly sprinted from the kitchen towards Rosalie's room. I tripped a few times but reached the room without falling. As I reached the room I picked a paper and sat on her desk, words of a new song flowing through my mind. No one followed cauz they all recognize this expression and know that I do not like it when someone is around me while I am writing the song. I picked up the pen and the words automatically started coming from underneath it. It took me about fifteen minutes to write the song and edit it, I read it for the last time and sang along with it trying to get it in rhythm and then entitled it.
Parachute
I don't tell anyone about the way you hold my hand
I don't tell anyone about the things that we have planned
Won't tell anybody, won't tell anybody
They want to push me down
They want to see you fall down
Won't tell anybody how you turn my world around
I won't tell anyone how your voice is my favorite sound
Won't tell anybody, won't tell anybody
They want to see us fall they want to see us fall
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
Don't believe the things you tell
Yourself so late at night and
You are your own worst enemy
You'll never win the fight
Just hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
It's you and me up against the world
It's you and me
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I'll fall into you
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I'll fall into you
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down
I must admit that it is a good song. I stared at it for a minute and then went downstairs to show it to them. As I reached the boys where done with their breakfast and Alice was jumping in her seat like a five year child for candy. I did not even reach them and Alice sprang out of the chair and ran towards me. Before I could register what is happening she snatched the sheet from my hand and started reading it with a smile.
"Jeez, Alice. Calm down." But she ignored me. As she read the song her smile grew bigger. At last when she finished reading, she looked at me and squealed.
"Bellllllaaaaaaa!" We all had to cover our ears and I standing close to her heard her ear – piercing squeal. She bounced towards Rosalie and handed her the paper, she reads it and them passed it on for the boys to read. In the meantime Rosalie came and hugged me.
"It's really a nice song, Bella" She whispered in my ear. Then she pulled back and looked at me. "Where did you get the inspiration that you wrote it so fast?" She asked. Rosalie knows that behind all my songs there is always an inspiration. Be it am emotion, a small talk or just a gesture. Also it takes me like two hours to finish a song, but this one was easy.
"Well, I was just hearing your and Emmett's talk and that when the words stuck me. It was easy, cauz because of your conversation I got my direction so when I started writing the word easily came into my mind." I explained.
"But Bella, why have you named it Parachute?" Jasper asked curiously.
"Firstly because you guys where talking about parachutes and secondly it fitted the song perfectly." I explained, editing the important part, Jasper saw my expression and was about to question but Alice interrupted him. Thank god, I have never been so thankful for Alice's big mouth.
"Bella, you have to sing this one on New Year party." This year Alice had arranged a mini concert along with Rosalie's annual New Year party, she has been planning for it for like six months. Rose and Alice love throwing parties, so be it any occasion there is always a party at Rose's house. And everytime I am stuck with them, they also invite Lauren and those good – for – nothing girls, which bought me back to why Lauren was outside Rose's house yesterday.
"Rose" I called to get her attention. "Why was Lauren outside your house yesterday?" I asked as soon as I had her attention cauz I know that if I did not ask her quick then her attention will go back to Alice. At first she seemed surprised by my question, but then answered.
"Lauren and I are partners in chem., so we had some project work which was supposed to be done in pairs." She explained with a grimace. "But how did you see her?" She asked.
"When we came over yesterday, she welcomed us." Edward responded. I could see Rosalie's blood boil and Alice flushed with anger.
"Was she a part of the reason of your outburst?" Rose asked through clenched teeth.
"Yes" Edward answered before I even got a chance to open my mouth. I glared at him, he simply shrugged.
"God, I swear I will kill….." Rose started but I put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Please Rose, don't spoil you mood over her or I will feel bad on bringing the subject." She eyed me and then nodded. I could feel her calm down under my touch.
"Come on guys. Let's go and try this song." Jasper said, trying to lighten the atmosphere. It worked, Rosalie's smile appeared on her face and we all went into her music room. Yes, she has a music room in her house. In this room all the instruments from guitar to conges are kept. I quickly went and picked up and guitar while Rose got on the drums, Emmett took the tambourine, Alice took the bass and finally Jasper went on the synthesizer. We started finding the right tune, after some tine Emmett dropped the tambourine and sat down against the wall saying that he would just see us perform to which we all agreed. Edward was a great help, since he has a great knowledge of rhythm so he helped us pick the right tune and me the right pitch to sing. We worked for about two hours until we all got exhausted and decided to have some lunch.
Sorry, it took so long to update. I know, I know that I had made a promise to you guys but sometimes I feel terribly lazy while typing the whole thing. I wish there would be a computer that could read your mind and then type it on itself. Well let's see if there will be any such thing in the future, then I will probably be the first one to buy it.
Also, I am working on the updates of my other stories, so look out for them. I will soon post the new stories too.
I made this chapter long as to make up for going missing for this long.
The song in this chapter is Parachute by Cheryl Cole. I am searching for new songs, so tell me if you guys have any song related to heartbreak or a soft song.
Also, you guys are not being fair on your part. There are so many people who are adding this story in their favorite list, but are not leaving a review. Please keep in mind my work and do review.
On the contrary, I am getting loads of PM's asking that will there be sequel. The answer is yes, I have a sequel planned.
Last but not the least, please review. Because I got around twenty to twenty five PM's so I am letting it go this time, but please do review for the next time. Your reviews energize me and make me want to write more. I am also grateful of the people who added my story to their favorites or to alerts even though I cannot thank you all personally. I love you all.
So review, review and review cauz next chapter will be totally Emmett. So to get it soon, you will have to review.
Much Love,
Bella
