Well, here is the next chapter. Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, alerted, favoured. Enjoy!
Missing breakfast, we spent over hour in the ER instead. Luckily there was a free doctor on duty that took care of Emmett right away, confirming the broken nose Edward already diagnosed. I felt very bad like this was my fault, even though it really wasn't.
"How'd he walk into a doorframe?" Jasper laughed.
"Well," Edward said smoothly, "he was trying to walk with his hands over his eyes, then he didn't realize the door has to start somewhere. Emmett being Emmett."
"I really wish I would have seen it," Jasper said with a scowl.
I smiled for a second before returning back to my conversation with the girls. I think Alice was debating some kind of shopping trip, but I was listening to Edward's and Jasper's talk. Apparently it's a secret that we were about to get it on before we were interrupted, so I didn't make the effort to rub this in Rosalie's snotty face.
"I'm hungry," Alice whined after about thirty minutes of waiting passed. "Can't we just leave Emmett and go to breakfast?"
"Yeah," Rosalie agreed. Wow, some girlfriend. "Let's just go and then come back for him later. Some of us actually get hungry and need to eat. Now let's go." She stood and grabbed her purse from under the chair. Alice hesitated though it had been her idea. "Are you coming or not, Alice?"
She picked at her cute little pink dress. "Maybe we should wait for Emmett to get fixed up. I mean, it shouldn't be much long, right, Edward?" She turned to look at him.
Edward exhaled and thought for a moment as he stretched his arms. "Yeah, not long now." I smiled slightly up at him.
"Ugh," Rose groaned. "I'm going to, like, pass out."
I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "Good," I muttered.
"Well, whatever," she continued on, even though no one was listening. "But I'm just saying that we all are hungry and Emmett's going to be, like, impaired when he comes out, so let's all just go eat. Just because he's hurt doesn't mean we, like, have to wait for anything."
"Rosalie," I snapped, "just shut up. No one's listening and no one cares, if your hungry go yourself. Just shut the fuck up!" I exhaled. God, was it ever nice to get that off my chest. Edward stifled a laugh and Alice smiled tightly, also containing a laugh. Jasper turned his head away so I didn't know his reaction, but his cheek was upturned and I knew he was at least smiling. I wanted to find it funny too, but I was way too annoyed. Could she not at least pretend to care? And if not, just shut up!?
She smiled cockily. "Well, little virgin, don't speak for everyone in this room. How much do you want to bet that Edward's hungry too, but won't agree to leaving cause it'll upset you?"
That flared my anger, and I scowled at her.
"Actually, Rosalie, I may be hungry-" Edward began with a smile in his voice.
"Ha, see, virginal girl?"
"But its not for food," he added. Edward and I laughed out loud at Rosalie's annoyed and pissed off expression. Our little inside joke.
Alice pouted. "I don't get it."
We laughed again. "It doesn't matter, Alice. Inside joke," I told her. Edward's arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me up closer to his side. Nothing like morning fights, I thought. If only we also got the morning sex, too. But I couldn't dwell on that because eventually we would have sex and hopefully it wouldn't take more than three tries to get the sex right. Whatever, right now Emmett came first.
Wow, he's not even my boyfriend and I care more than Rosalie.
"Whatever." She rolled her eyes. "I don't like dirty inside jokes, anyways."
"Ugh," Rosalie huffed. "I'm going to find the doctor." She stomped down the quiet white hall towards the front desk, and leaned over to talk to the receptionist. I just shook my head as it looked like she was arguing almost.
Alice whispered in my ear, "When do you think Emmett will realize that she is not right for him?"
I shrugged, extracting myself form Jasper's and Edward's conversation. "I don't know, but I hope soon. I mean, she's never been this bad and now she's being a total bitch. She really needs to turn the attitude around before I put her in her place." What kind of girlfriend would be putting her selfish needs in front of her injured boyfriend's? Alice and I always agreed that Rosalie was not right for Emmett whatsoever, but right now she was crossing that line she already drew. It just angered me for someone I'd known for, like, forever to be with someone who,..who Alice, Edward, Jasper and I all agreed was a gold-digger. Though that didn't make complete sense, I guess. She does have everything in the world.
"Ohh, I'll help you!" Alice suggested with a giggle. I smiled back at her. She lowered her voice, casted a glance behind me, then whispered, "So did you guys do it last night?"
"Alice," I groaned.
"Tell me!" she squealed. "Did you guys? I did find the lingerie bag on the counter still..."
I exhaled with an eye roll. Was I ready to confess last night's sexual issue? "We did," I said simply. No details were needed and she wouldn't know the aspects.
When I didn't say anything else, Alice sigh-exhaled. "Bella, I want details. I gave you guys the alone time you needed, and I didn't even get any hints or details that it happened last night this morning. What was up with that?" she hissed quietly.
"Well, fine," I muttered, leaning in. "We tried it, lost it, stopped. Okay? We did technically do it, but not really because he felt like he was raping me. The pain was just...unbearable." The memory of last night filled my vision and I shuddered as I recalled that pain. It wasn't as real as it had been at the moment, but it still struck me.
"Oh, yeah." Alice nodded in understanding. "I remember. So, then how 'bout this morning? When you guys kicked me out?"
"Now that brings up the reason-" I began, but my voice melted as Rosalie walked back over.
"Oh. My. God. You will never believe this," she said in that everyone-listens-to-me-whenever-I-talk sort of way. "Apparently he was to get stitches, so its going to be awhile. Now can we go?"
"No," we all hissed in allusion, forcing a groan from her mouth as we all shifted back to our conversations.
"I'll tell you later, okay?" I whispered to Alice while Rosalie checked her reflection in a compact mirror. "Not with that around."
She snickered. "Sure, but I won't forget."
Shaking my head, I whispered back, "I don't expect you to."
We spent another hour waiting and listening to Rosalie complain about everything: "it smells in here", "I'm hungry", "oh I hope that's not a zit", "I'm trying this new weight loss program and I've lost six pounds", "there was this commercial and it made, like, no sense at all. Sense when do cows laugh?" Dammit she didn't shut up. If it weren't for Edward whispering to me and giving me little kisses I would have snapped at her. I was also so close to slapping her hard across her prefect face. The words no one cares didn't mean jack-shit to her. And how much I wanted to drill those words into her....
Emmett came down the hall, glaring at me (!?) and holding onto his nose. We all stood at the same time like we'd been called upon and met him halfway down the hall.
"You!" He glared and pointed at Edward and I. "This is all your fault!"
While Edward laughed, my mouth dropped. Uh-oh.
"I broke my nose because of you! It's the most painful thing in the whole world and you guys'll pay one way for another!" He released his hand from his face to show the huge white bandage covered his nose. Some blood was coloring the tissue and it looked sickening and out of place. I mouth dropped further.
"What'd they have to do to it?" Alice asked, cocking her head to the side slightly.
"Oh," Emmett groaned. "They had to snap the bone band in place and put this thing inside to hold in together, which will have to be taken out later. Then I have thirteen stitches, and this bandage has to be changed throughout the day." He frowned. "And its all their fault."
"Hey, we didn't cover your eyes," Edward teased with a grin, pulling me into his side. I smirked slightly as Emmett's angry expression.
"What did they even do?" Jasper asked.
My insides immediately started thumping wildly with worry. I looked worriedly up at Edward, but he didn't show any apprehension to the question. I gripped his hand around my waist.
"When I walked in they were having sex!" Emmett exclaimed. It was obvious he was not happy with the outcome. "So I covered my eyes and was about to walk out the door when it hit me!"
"Oh, so little virgin Bella's not little virgin Bella anymore?" Rosalie asked mockingly.
Jasper looked at me with a pained expression, and I immediately felt guilty. What had I done? I stared back at him with a lot of worry and regret, while Rosalie, Emmett and Alice pretended not to notice and spoke about the injury. I could feel Edward present with Jasper's and my glower, and he didn't interrupt us because he understood. After all Jasper and Edward had been such good friends sense...well, forever. Just like all of us.
"You guys..." Jasper began sullenly, glaring at Edward. I glanced up at him too, but he didn't faze from a blank mask. "You two had sex?"
I exhaled, my chest sinking in with it. "Yeah."
"Why, Bella?" he asked quietly, almost a whisper. "Why are you two doing that? I mean..." I'm being a little overprotective, Bella, I added.
"Jasper, why does it matter?" I asked slowly. "I mean, you and Alice do it too. Rosalie and Emmett do too. Why should we be any different? You can't protect me from boys, Jasper. I understand protecting someone, but I think your taking it a little extreme."
"Don't tell me what I'm doing wrong," he snapped. I instantly took a step back from his pulsing anger and disappointment. For as long as I could remember Jasper protected me from everything – as children, Edward and Emmett also protected me, and the trend kept going for all three of them. Of course I never complained, but the time was finally coming that I didn't want to be babied, that I wanted to take care of things myself without any help. I wanted to be able do something in my life that my brother could not thrust himself into. I enjoyed Edward protecting me more than Jasper.
Jasper tried again, struggling. "I'm just warning you, Bella. That's all."
"Okay," I mumbled, sinking down to a chair. Was I disappointing my brother because I would not sty a virgin? Or was it normal for a brother to be mad when his little sister is having sex with his best friend, also known as her boyfriend? I was definitely disappointing my brother.
"Breakfast time!" Alice sang, breaking my concentration and pulling me from the chair.
Thank you to all who read and another thanks to everyone who has Alerted and Favoured. It actually floored me with the amount of people that have!
