Chapter 4.
"Did ya really think you could hide from me you little whore.?" Royce said as he smacked me across the face. "You had to have know he wouldn't keep you around forever." He hit me again. "Your worthless little whore Rosie." He took off my shirt.
"No Royce stop it, I'm done with this. Stop!" I yelled, and he smacked me.
"Shut up Rosie. Your not done with this. This is all you've known, this is all you ever will know." Royce started to slide my skirt off.
"NO!" I yelled.
"Rose, Rose wake up." I woke up from the horrible nightmare to Emmett's voice. "Rose are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's just being here so close to him makes m nervous. Like he can get me at any minute." I told him.
"Rosalie I will not let him get you, I promise you that." Emmett pulled me closer to him. "Now try and get some sleep."
When I woke up light was coming through the window and Emmett had already gotten up. I climbed out of bed and went in the bathroom to brush my hair and teeth before I headed downstairs. I could hear music coming from the kitchen so I fallowed it to find Emmett cooking breakfast and listening to Something In Your Mouth by Nickelback. When he saw me he smiled and started to turn it down.
"Don't do that, I love this song." I said walking over to stand beside him.
"I didn't waked you did I?" Emmett asked giving me a quick kiss.
"No, I didn't hear the music till I was downstairs." I looked over at the stove. "Whatcha cooking?"
'Sausage, egg, and cheese omelets, there my specialty." he said with a smile. "Mainly because there all I can cook, I think there about done if you want one."
"Sure I'll try one." Emmett fixed us both a plate and we sat down at the island and started eating. "These are pretty good."
"Thanks my mom taught me how to make them." Emmett told me. "Rose I was thinking that maybe we should leave for the country house soon to be sure Royce doesn't find you."
"I hate the idea of you leaving your mother behind for me." I said. "You don't even know me well enough to trust that I won't run out on you."
"I know you won't run Rosalie Hale, because I know the girl you really are. The little nerd girl with the round glasses, who's always burried in a book. Deep down that's who you wanna be, past all the pain and bad thoughts, that girls still there."
"I'm not so sure about that, I don't know if I can be that girl anymore. I'm not even sure who I am now." I told him. "I've been living this life cause that's all I've ever known, and I don't know if I can live any other way."
"You can Rosalie, because I'm going to help you, now go get dressed we gotta go somewhere."
I came back downstairs dressed in skinny jeans a purple hoodie with "LOVE" written across it in bright pink and some purple Puma's. I tried to dress in something Royce wouldn't notice me in since we would probably be spending our day in town.
"Very low key." Emmett said as he came up and pulled the hood up over head.
"Stop that you'll mess my hair up." I said as I pulled the hood back down, Emmett just laughed and led me out to the car. "Where are we going?" I asked as we started down the road.
"Alice's house, I've gotta talk to her husband about the diner." he told me.
Alice's lived in a two story brick house on the outskirts of town. There was a pretty little pickte fence around the yard with tow dogs inside playing with a little girl. She smiled when she saw Emmett's truck she ran to the house and yelled into the front door.
"That's little Kylie, my youngest niece." Emmett said. We got of the jeep and Kylie ran up to Emmett he picked her up in a hug.
"Uncle Emmett, mommy told me you was coming to see me. Abby's at school, so her won't get to see you today." Kylie said.
"That's okay, I'll come back and see her some other time. Where's your momma and daddy at Ky?" she squirmed until Emmett put her down then she grabbed his him and tug him toward the house. She led us through the house to the den where Alice was sitting on the couch.
"Emmett, Rose come on in and have a seat." Alice said Emmett and I went and sat on the loveseat. Kylie plopped down in Emmett's lap and turned to face me.
"What's you name?" she asked.
"Rosalie, but you can call me Rose." I told her.
"That's a pretty name, is you uncle Emmett's girlfriend?"
"Yes Ky she is my girlfriend, but only if you say it's okay." Emmett said, giving me a wink.
"Yeah it's okay, hers is pretty and nice." Kylie said.
"Rosalie Lillian Hale." I turned toward the sound of my name to see my cousin Jasper standing in front of me. I got up and gave him a hug.
"Jazzy, I've missed you so much." I said.
"Where have you been? Why didn't you call us after you got out of school?" he asked as we sat down.
"I've been here, trying to get by on my own. I didn't want to bother you momma, I knew ya'll where barley getting by with just the two of you." I said.
"Why didn't you call?"
"Thing's haven't gone good Jazzy, I guess all those years with mom just messed me up."
"What happened Rose? Tell me." So I told him right there in front of Alice I gave him the whole story from the time I left mom's house to now. "You should have called me."
"I know Jazz I know." I looked down at my lap.
"All that matter's now is that where trying to help her." Emmett said. "Which is why where here. Jasper I have to get her out of town for alittle while they're looking for her. But in order to do that I'm going to need someone to take over the diner, the club can do without me being there everyday but the diner needs someone. So you still want it?"
"Of course I do, especially if it'll help Rose."
"Thank you Jasper, this means a lot to both of us." Emmett said. "We're one step closer to making everything better."
After we left Alice's house we went to the pet store, Emmett had to get fish food and some stuff for the saltwater tank at the diner. While he shopped I went over to the puppy's. A little Husky puppy in the bottom kennel caught my eye. It was white and gray and had big blue eyes, it was playing with a little red ball and I couldn't help but watch.
"So are you a dog person?" Emmett asked coming up behind me.
"I always wanted a puppy but I never got one, mom said they were to much trouble." I told him. The husky had started rolling around on it's back and nipping at the ball. I giggled and Emmett looked down at me. "Look at the one down in the bottom cage, isn't it cute?"
"Yeah I guess it is." Emmett said looking at the puppy. "Why don't you head on out to the jeep, I'll be out as soon as I pay for these things." I nodded and headed for the door, being sure to pull my hood up before I went outside. I climbed in the jeep and waited for Emmett to get done in the store. Emmett came out with a box and a couple of bags which seemed like an awful lot of stuff for a fish tank He sat the box in the middle of the backseat before climbing in. We sat the for a minute because he said they were bringin more stuff out to the car. After Emmett shut his door I heard it, a quite barking noise.
"You didn't." I said as I turned and looked at the box. Emmett nodded and turned and picked the puppy up out of the box and handed it to me.
"It's a girl by the way." he said. "They're bringing out a kennel, some food, and other puppy stuff." The puppy in my lap trying to see out the window. "What are you gonna name her?"
"How about Shasta?" I asked. "She looks kinda like a Shasta."
"Shasta it is." Emmett smiled. They brought the stuff out and then we headed home for the night.
