I am so happy to hear that you all loved the last chapter. As I said before, it is my favorite so far. So here it is LA. (You really might hate me at the end of this one!) I was listening to Impossible by Christina Aguilera while I wrote this. It fits the chapter so well! Also I will apologize ahead of time. This is not my best work. Also come join me on twitter (ZoeRoeFF)

"Ok well I am going to go." I said to Emmett standing at our front door holding my bags. Today Alice and I were leaving for LA. Katie being to saint she was had managed for us to leave late tonight, have meetings all day tomorrow, and be back in Tennessee mid day the next day. It was a tight schedule, but it allowed us to be back one day before Esme's surgery.

"Emmett I'm leaving." I said again trying to pull his attention from Sportscenter. The rest of the week had been pretty rough. Emmett was aloof to say the least. I feel like he has done everything he could to not be home. He even took an extra 24-hour shift at work, which he has never done since we have been together. And when he is home, he barely talks to me. Hell, he had barely even touched me all week, and that's a new record for us. Normally Emmett can't keep his hands off of me.

"Bye, babe." He said plainly taking his eyes off the television for a second. Well at least I got a term of endearment, although it seemed half assed. Everything he did this week seemed half assed. His kisses goodbye when he left for work. Our shallow conversations at dinner, but I guess I should be happy we were talking at all.

Pulling my bag behind me, I walked out of the house slamming the front door. I was fed up with him treating me like this. I could handle it if I knew I had done something wrong, or even if we had had a fight. But what we were going through now was impossible. It is impossible to work with someone who won't cooperate. Throwing my bag in truck, I drove off to pick up Alice.

"I'm actually really excited about this." Alice said as I drove to the air field.

"That makes one of us." I commented but Alice continued as if she didn't hear me.

"Jasper has to watch Amelia all weekend without any help."

"Unless he goes to your mother." She heard that.

"He better not! I don't go running to her." She defended. "This is for him to understand what my life is like, not for him to have my mother solve all his problems."

"All I am saying is that it could happen." I said plainly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." I said shaking my head and putting a smile on my face. I hadn't told Alice about how Emmett had been acting. She had enough to deal with with her own marriage. She didn't have to worry about mine.

"You sure?"

"Yeah." I replied plastering on the biggest fake smile I could. She would believe it. I had years to perfect it.

We arrived at the airfield, and in were in the air in no time. One of the many benefits of a private plane. And before the wheels left the ground, I was taking advantage of the open bar.

"Whoa Rose. Slow down." Alice said as I finished my second Gin and tonic.

"What?" I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Your drinking like a fish. Are you sure everything is okay?"

"Yea I am just excited." I lied.

"When are you ever excited about LA?" She asked eyeing me suspiciously.

"Not about LA. This is our first step to owning our own line." Honestly I was happy about that, but the my personal life was shadowing it.

"Well in that case, I think a toast is in order." She said holding up her champagne. Grabbing the new glass that the fight attendant had placed in front of me, I raised it up to hers.

"To our new line." She said as we clinked our glasses.

"To our new line." I repeated before taking a big gulp of alcohol. Something told me I was going to need it.

"All right ladies you have a full day tomorrow." Kate said as we drove in the car towards my house. She had picked us up at the airport, and somehow managed to have us evade the paparazzi. "All morning you have meetings with Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, and Macy's. The in the afternoon, I had set you up with a commercial realtor who is going to show you some spaces that I have already seen and gotten the price for." That was a good thing. I had learned early on when it come to real estate there was the listed price and the Rosalie Hale price. The later always seemed to be over 100 grand more.

"What time is the first meeting?" I asked yawning as I looked at Alice's sleep form. It was past 3 in the morning Tennessee time, We were exhausted.

"Eight. Sorry it was the best I could do to fit everything in." Kate answered.

"It's fine." I responded. "How's Garrett?"

"He is the same as always just a little happier because it is football season."

"Tell me about. Emmett was watching SportCenter when I left." I said as we pulled up to my house.

"Alright I will be here at 7 tomorrow."

"Seven!" I yelled waking Alice up.

"You've been out of LA to long." Kate said. "Traffic will at an extra 30 minutes."

"I hate LA." I said getting out of the car. Alice and I walked into my old house, and put our luggage into out respective rooms. Alice had stayed here many times, she basically had her own room. After I had gotten myself situated, I walked down the hall into Alice's room.

"Yea we made it." Alice said as I knocked and opened the door. "Alright, love you too. Bye." She hung up he phone and sat on the bed.

"Jasper?" I asked.

"Yea."

"You two seem to be doing better."

"We're trying." She shrugged. "He seems to be handling Amelia well."

"That's good. I just came to make sure you have everything you need."

"You don't have to play hostess Rose. I have been here before."

"I know." I smiled.

"Now go call your husband. You know how he gets when you don't tell him you made it safely." I laughed and walked out the room wondering if I should call him. Would he even care that I made it. But then I remember the one time I forgot to call him when I had arrived in Cleveland for a show. He had done everything short of calling the cops. Picking up my phone, I dialed his cell. He pick up after the forth ring.

"Hello." He said groggily.

"Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I made it." I said smiling.

"Okay." His response was short, and so was the tone of his voice.

"Well I guess I will let you go back to sleep." I replied quietly not wanting him to hear the disappointment in my voice. After a week of rejection it was getting to me. In the past, he would stay up and talk to me until I became tired wether I woke him up or not.

"I love you." I added hoping I could just get him to say the words I hadn't heard for four days. If he just told me that, I could make it through.

"Okay, goodnight." He said before hanging up. Tears stung my eyes as I put my phone down. He has never not told me he loved me in return. What the hell is happening to my marriage?

"So how did it go?" Kate asked as we left our last meeting with the department stores.

"They liked our samples and sketches, so I think it went well" Alice replied as I waddled down the hallway. I had made a point to dress professional this morning. What I didn't know was that the pencil skirt I as wearing would press my knee together making it almost impossible to walk in. But I looked great.

"That's good. We have time for a short lunch, before we meet with the realtor." Kate said as we got in the car. "Where would you like to go?"

"I don't know. Anywhere" I shrugged as Alice huffed loudly. "Or wherever Alice wants to go." I corrected.

"No, no, no. It's not that." Alice said. "Jasper has texted me for the 30th time today."

"About what?" Kate said.

"Don't ask." I commented even though Alice ignored me.

"He is watching our daughter and failing. This last one was about why she won't eat carrots. That's probably because she doesn't like them!" Alice finished yelling at her phone as if Jasper could hear.

"I told you not to ask." I said to Kate as we pulled up to a restaurant.

After we had ordered our food, Kate and I talked as Alice texted Jasper back and forth.

"You know Garrett won't stop talking about how awesome Emmett is after they hung out in New York." Kate said.

"Really?" I said smiling.

"Oh please. He cannot wait until you have to come here more often so that Emmett has to. When I told him he wasn't coming on this trip, I think he thought about crying" I laughed at her description. The visual of seeing Garrett, who is almost the size of Emmett, cry is funny. I haven't even seen Emmett cry. Sure I have seen him tear up, but never cry.

"I am sure Garrett is the only thing Emmett looks forward to about LA." I said as Alice groaned at her phone.

"You know. You are kind of defeating the purpose of making Jasper do this on his own, if you are going to help him every step of the way." I said snatching the phone out of her hand.

"Yea but Amelia should not have to deal with his incompetence." She countered.

"Make him suffer, or he will never learn his lesson." I said slowly.

"Now that sounds like the Rosalie Hale I know." We all turned to see who had eavesdropped on our conversation. What I didn't expect to see was Tanya and Heidi. Together.

"Well it looks I've been replaced." Tanya said starring at Kate.

"Tanya, this is my assistant Kate." I said plainly pointing to her. "Kate this my old assistant Tanya."

"Don't I get an introduction?" Heidi asked sweetly.

"Nope." I said turning back towards my table. I still don't forgive her for blatantly flirting with my husband.

"Since Rosalie is so rude." She said loudly before turning to Alice. "I'm Heidi."

"I've heard." She said smiling back at her. I didn't give Alice the who story, but I pretty much told her that she was a bitch who tried to steal my husband.

"Oh you're a fan."

"No." Alice said shaking her head. "I just heard you like married men."

Heidi's eyes bugged out as she realized what Alice had said. Serves her right.

"Are you talking about Emmett?" She said quickly recovering.

"Oh look she remembers his name." I said to Alice.

"Honey he was asking for it." She said to me.

"Well considering you were dressed like a second rate prostitute, I think you where asking for it. From everyone in the room."

"Well at least I wasn't dressed in clothes my grandmother would wear."

"There was nothing matronly about that dress."

"It just looked like you were trying to hide some extra weight." She said before leaning down. "Don't worry everyone let's themselves go after they get married." My eyes widened as I realized she was calling me fat.

"Well at least I can keep a man." I retorted.

"For now." I stood up about to get in her face after that comment but Kate stopped me.

"We hope you ladies enjoy your lunch." Kate said trying to move them along.

"Yea we are here to iron out the details of my contract. I am going to be representing Heidi now."

"Good you two deserve each other." I commented sitting back down.

"Good luck with this one." Tanya said to Kate pointing towards me before walking away.

"Well that was interesting." Kate said as our food was set before us.

The rest of the afternoon was filled seeing different retail property, and the paparazzi. I knew they would come out at one point or another, so I just threw on my sunglasses and put on my best fuck you face. But word spread that I was in town, and by the end of the day we were being followed by over 60 people.

"Maybe I should have got security for today." Kate said as we rode in the car back to my house. Alice was once again attached to her phone talking to Jasper. I rolled my eyes.

"Don't worry about it. I am just happy to get this skirt off." I replied fiddling with it. Kate laughed.

"You've been struggling with that thing all day."

"I wanted to look professional."

"Oh trust me you were every guys librarian wet dream today."

"Good maybe that will make them give us a shot." I said as we pulled up to my house.

"Alright. Your plane leaves tomorrow at 10. A car will be here at nine to get you." Kate said as we exited to car.

"Thanks Kate." I said waving to her as she pulled off. I put my arm round Alice shoulder as we walked into the house. "How about a girls night? We can order gross take out and watch romance movies."

"I think that is just what he doctor ordered." Alice said as we walking to the house. We ordered Chinese food, before we each went upstairs to shower and change. Once I was in a comfortable pair of sweats, I went to find Alice. When I made it to the bottom of the stairs, the door bell rang. Chinese was here.

"Alice." I yelled after I had paid the delivery guy. "Alice where are you?" I walked into the kitchen to find Alice on her phone, again. When she saw me she up a finger to tell me one more second, I huffed to show my annoyance. Once she hung up we sat on the floor of my living room eating greasy Chinese watching How to lose a guy in 10 Days.

Every once and awhile Alice's phone would go off telling her she had a text which she would promptly answer. Couldn't Jasper do anything by himself? He was ruining our girls night, but I kept quiet. They were having problems.

I lost my patience when Alice actually picked up the phone and talked to Jasper in the middle of the movie. She didn't even bother to leave the room.

"Sorry about that." She said. "Jasper wanted to know what to sing her to sleep."

"That's great." I said unable to hide my anger.

"Is something wrong, Rose?" Alice asked.

"You've just really attached to your phone all weekend."

"Jasper needs my help." She defended.

"Yea so much for trying to teach him a lesson!" I yelled standing, grabbing the trash and going into the kitchen.

"I am not just going to let him suffer. I just wanted him to understand how much work I do." She said following me. I threw the trash away and turned back to face her.

"And I am sure he learned his lesson." I said full of sarcasm.

"Rose what is this really about?" She asked. "You never get mad over stuff like this."

"You really want to know what this is about?" I yelled feeling the tears come to my eyes. "This is about the fact that you should be happy your husband is calling you at all. You should be happy, that he even wants to talk to you, or that he tells you he loves you. Or hell that he is even trying." The damn broke as I thought about what I just said. Emmett wasn't even trying. "You don't even see how good you have it sometimes. Although Jasper has been a shitty husband recently, he never stopped trying. He didn't stop telling you he loved you. And never ignored you, and did everything he could to avoid you." I finished wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Oh honey," She said pulling me into an embrace. "What are you not telling me?"

"That my life has sucked the last four days." I said into her shoulder. She pulled away from me, grabbed my hand, and lead me back into the living room. Once we were both seat onto the couch, she turned to face me.

"What's going on?" Alice asked quietly.

"Ever since that damn dinner earlier this week, Emmett has just shut down. He doesn't really talk. He doesn't even like to be home. He pretty much goes to work, to the gym, and watches ESPN. That's it." I shrugeed as more tears came down.

"So he didn't take the news well?" Alice asked. I shook my head.

"No one did. I know he is hurting, but he's not the only one. And I am strong enough to carry this relationship for awhile, but I can only take so much rejection. I don't see an end to it if he doesn't open up to me, you know?" I said sniffing.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You had your own problems. Everyone did. I just kind of hoped it would pass, but we have never really fought for this long. He doesn't even want to have sex, Alice. Emmett doesn't want to have sex. That has never happened since I have known him."

"If Esme knew he was doing this, she would kill him." Alice commented.

"This isn't about the sex Alice." I said.

"I know, but he is treating you like shit for no reason, when you are the only that is trying to hold this entire family together. All of us have been so focused on our own problems, and you've been the only one to set aside your own to help us with ours."

"You would have done the same thing."

"But I didn't. And because of that I dropped the ball as you friend."

"Alice." I protected.

"No I did. But believe me Emmett is going to be right smack in the middle Hurricane Alice when we get home. I am not going to let him treat you this way."

"Alice you don't have to do that."

"But I am, like you told me. Some people need tough love, and Emmett is about to get a big dose." She hugged me as I looked over at the clock.

"Damn it's late. A car is going to be here soon." I said wiping my face.

"Come on let's go to bed." She said leading me up the stairs.

For the first time in years, I went to bed without talking to Emmett.

"Do you have everything?" I yelled up the stairs as I put my luggage by the front door.

"Yea." She said coming out to the upper landing looking over the front entry where I was standing. "Why are you done so early?"

"I'm going to run to this cosmetic store that has the shaving cream Emmett likes."

"Do you really think her deserves that?" She asked putting her hand on her hip.

"It will keep me from paying shipping when I order it online."

"Tough love." She said in a sing-songy voice.

"I am still going." I replied.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No it is like five minutes away." I said grabbing my keys and purse.

"Alright I will see you when you get back." She said as I walked into the garage and got in my two seater BMW. God, I love this car.

It seems that news spread faster than I thought that I was in town. As soon as I passed the gate for my community, I had at least ten cars on my tail. They were running red lights, stop signs, anything they could to make sure that they got the best picture. When I pulled into the parking spot infront of the store, I turned my car off and sprinted inside not giving them a chance to surround me. As I browsed for the product Emmett liked, I could see a crowd forming outside.

"There's a lot of them." The cashier said as he rung up the cream.

"Yea this is why I hate LA." I said before thanking him as he handed my the product.

When I walked outside, I wished I had thought to grab sunglasses. Using my hair as a shield, I looked down at my feet and walked in the direction I knew my car was. I couldn't hear anything, but the yelling from the photographers asking me to look up, or to the right. As I blindly reached my car, I jumped in, and threw it in reverse. I barely made it a block before I felt like I was in the middle of a high speed chase.

I saw the light in front of me turn yellow, and I pushed the accelerator trying to make the light, hoping that the red light would catch everyone else. I made the light, but I forgot how determined they where. I forgot that they worked in teams. The last thing I remember was a car coming straight at me from the passengers side.

So um cliff hanger? As I said before, you may hate me now. I also brought back Tanya and Heidi at your request just for some added entertainment. Also check out Rose's outfits on my profile. I absolutely love the one she wears for this chapter. So if you review, I will send you a preview. Please. Please. Please. (I am not above begging!)
