NYC Forever

Chapter 18

Emmett POV

Rosalie's been acting weird lately. She hasn't eaten much, and she's starting to worry me. Alice told me this was how Rosalie normally acts, but I don't believe her.

Rosalie was sitting on the couch, fashion magazine in hand. She flipped the page; her eyes skimmed the page. She closed the magazine and stood up. She was unsteady.

"Em, I'm going back to bed, I'm not feeling so good," Rosalie said as she walked past me. She made it to her room and turned around. She walked back and lay down on the couch. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. I couldn't stand watching her pass like that, she looked almost dead.

I left the room. I didn't know where to go. I decided to go outside and possibly take a walk. I went out the backdoor, I didn't want to encounter Alice and Jasper and their weirdo festival.

I went around the house, looking for the backdoor. If Rosalie was here she would have said, "You've been there before! How stupid are you?" I laughed at myself. I walked around for another five minutes. I finally found the backdoor. I exited and decided it was too cold to take a walk. I walked over to the hot tub. I sat down on the steps of the hot tub.

Time alone usually doesn't bug me, but now that MY Rose was ill, I couldn't stand it. I heard a dog barking in the distance. I jumped. I went back in the house. I could hear Rosalie snoring in the living room.

Alice POV

Jasper and I have been outside for about an hour now. I was getting cold, because guess what I forgot to wear a jacket outside. I went inside, Rosalie was asleep on the couch. I went over to her and pinched her arm. She woke up with a bloodcurdling scream.

"Mary Alice Brandon! I'm going to kill you!" Rosalie snapped. I laughed. Rosalie stood up, a little wobbly, and approached me. The space between us cleared. She was close enough to slap me, but she didn't. I walked away, and went to my room.

As I entered my room, I ran and jumped on to my fluffy bed. My bed was so comfy. I was enjoying the time on my own, when someone knocked on my door. I got up and opened the door. Guess who it was. It was Rose.

"Hey," I said. She smiled and sat down on my fluffy bed.

"You done packing?" She asked. I nodded. She looked at the floor and saw my luggage, not so neatly piled on the floor. She got up and left. I noticed she wasn't her usual self, she was too nice.

I picked up my purse, and stalked out of my room.

"Guys, let's go out for lunch!" I exclaimed. Rosalie left the room, to grab her purse and jacket. Rosalie grabbed her keys and dragged Emmett, by his ear, out of the house. Jasper and I went out to his car. He opened the passenger's side and went over to the driver's side. I got in, and carefully shut the door. Jasper put the key in the ignition, and drove down the block.

We arrived at the restaurant just after Rosalie and Emmett. When we entered the little restaurant. Rosalie and Emmett found a table at the front of the restaurant. We went to the table and sat down. The waitress came to the table; to me she looked like a superficial blonde. She kind of reminded me of Rosalie. She looked over at Rosalie and freaked out.

"Oh my god! It's Rosalie Hale! I got a nose job, to look just like you! How does it look?" She asked.

"Um, horrible! My nose is meant to be worn on me only!" Rosalie said, "Go help that old couple across the room. We're not ready to order." The waitress nodded and scurried over to assist the elderly.

"Wow, that was random," Emmett said. Rosalie laughed and brushed a strand of hair away from her face.

"Hey guys. I'll be your new waiter. What can I get you?" The "new" waiter asked. Jasper looked down at his menu one last time.

"We'll get three large glasses of chocolate milk, and one glass of water. Two large fries, a cheeseburger, and a chicken Caesar salad," I said. The waiter wrote down our order, and walked off.

"Fries? Alice you're going to be fat!" Rosalie yelled. I shrugged. I wanted fries and so did Jasper, so we got fries! Does anyone else object? I just had a silent rant. Omygod! I'm going crazy.

The waiter returned with our meals. I started to eat my fries, and every once in awhile I would have a swallow of chocolate milk. Rosalie was picking at her salad. Emmett on the other hand ate his cheeseburger in record time.

"Check please!" Rosalie called, once everyone was done eating. The waiter came by with our check. We only spent about fifty dollars, so Jasper offered to pay.

"This better happen while we're in Hawaii," I said. Jasper smiled, and paid for our lunch. I had a feeling Jasper had something up his sleeve, if he didn't, boy I'll tell you, I know I do.

Jasper and I got up. Jasper took my hand and led me to his vehicle. His vehicle was right next to Rosalie's BMW. I didn't wait for him to open the passenger door. I opened it myself and got in. Jasper got into the driver's side.

"Have you noticed Rosalie's behavior?" Jasper asked me unexpectedly.

"Yeah. She's starting to worry me," I replied, not looking at him. He took my hand and kissed it. Smiling at the floor, Jasper released my hand, and drove out of the parking lot. Jasper drove down the road; the silence was killing me. I reached to turn on the radio, but Jasper pushed my hand away from the button.

We arrived at the house at just after two. I went in and grabbed our suitcases. We had about ten suitcases for a month and a half. But if you were to look through them, you would see how full the actually are. I carried them out to the car. I put them in the trunk, and hopped back in the passenger side. As soon as I was in Jasper drove towards the airport.

We arrived there just before Rosalie and Emmett. Everything there was a simple as a snap. We boarded the plane at about 3:30. Our flight left at 3:45. We found good seats.
