NYC Forever

Chapter 15 Part 1

Emmett POV

Funeral Day

Days have past since we've arrived in Rochester. Alice and Jasper have been getting to know each other. Rosalie and I have done the exact opposite, fact is I haven't talked to Rosalie for six days. The reason Rosalie has ignored me is because I've been a totally major dick. That's beyond the point.

Jasper and I were waiting for the girls. Alice made us wear Armani suits. Did I mention they are very uncomfortable? Time passes right before your eyes. Well at least that's what it feels like while waiting for Alice and Rosalie to get organized.

Rosalie came down the stairs first. She was wearing a Dolce and Gabbana black dress, a black trench coat, and a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. Don't ask me how I know that, cause I'd have to tell you I've done my research. That means, I've gone through Rosalie and Alice's closets, which is very creepy.

Rosalie glared at me. Alice appeared at the top of the stairs. Alice was wearing a black dress, a white trench coat, and ankle strap sandals.

"Rosalie don't glare. It's impolite," Alice said very authority. She walked down the stairs, brushing past Rosalie.

"Since when are you my mother?" Rosalie asked Alice. Alice totally ignored her. Alice walked over to Jasper and started to play with his suit. I laughed. Boy was I glad I didn't have a nagging girlfriend or a girlfriend at all.

"Are we ready to leave?" Rosalie asked. Alice nodded. We walked out the door and towards Alice's "Baby". Looks like Jasper has some competition. Rosalie got into the driver's side. I didn't know where to sit. Do I sit in the front with Rosalie or sit in the back? I went towards the back of Baby. I went to open the door, but Alice and Jasper were already there, acting like lovesick puppies. God are my friends weird.

This left me no choice. I was stuck sitting in the front with Rosalie. This ride was going to very long and awkward. I got into the front of the car. Rosalie put the key in the ignition and stepped on the gas. We drove down the road, in an awkward silence. I guess it really wasn't silent. Alice and Jasper were chattering.

Several minutes of constant chattering from Alice and Jasper, we arrived at the funeral parlor. From where we parked, I could see the casket and Susan the Psychopathic Mother who bakes good cookies. Rosalie followed my gaze and burst into tears. I put a muscular arm around her.

Rosalie looked up at me and slapped me across the face. She got out of the car, rubbing her eyes. Alice giggled at me. I glanced over at her and gave her the finger. Alice returned the gesture by giving both the fingers. Alice and Jasper got out of the car. I followed them.

The priest was starting when I got into the parlor. I could see Alice and Jasper, but I could not see Rosalie. I walked over to sit next to Jasper. When the priest was finished talking about Mr. Hale, I leaned over and whispered to Jasper.

"Where's Rosalie?" I whispered. Jasper pointed over to the next isle. I followed his finger and finally saw Rose. She was sobbing into another man's arms. She's crossed the line now.

"Alice, who's that dude?" I asked, as I pointed at Rosalie. Alice looked over and saw where I was pointing. She started freaking out.

"OMG! OMG! That's Royce King the Second! He was the hottest guy in high school, and he still is," Alice said in a yell-whisper, "Did I mention he's Rosalie's fiancé?" I was shocked. I honestly thought Rosalie LIKED me.

"How's she Rosalie's FIANCE?" I asked with emphasis on the fiancé part.

"You don't know? Royce proposed to her in grade six and then again in grade twelve. It was sooooooo romantic!" She exclaimed quietly, "They broke up when Rose moved away and now they're back together! OMG!" I was surprised nobody was staring at us because Alice was being so loud.

The funeral part ended. We left the parlor and went to the little restaurant outside the parlor. I saw Rose and Royce, so I decided to go up to them and formally introduce myself.

"Hello. I'm Emmett McCarty. You ladies are?" I said. Rosalie looked at me with a look of disgust.

"Seriously? I'm Royce King the Second," He said. Rosalie smiled at him. I just about barfed. I went to shake his hand, but I punched him in the jaw. He fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Rosalie went to help him up, but I grabbed her arm and took her into the restaurant.

"What the hell's your issue?" Rosalie screamed.

"My issue? What's your issue?" I yelled.

"Screw off Emmett!" She screeched and ran away. By now everyone was staring at us. Alice ran off towards her.
