Emmett's POV.
I was in the bathroom, trying to get my button down shirt on.
I tried again, I winced, my shoulder was killing me. It was still wrapped in dressing but I'm sure it's worse than yesterday. I tried yet again, I yelled in frustration. I gave up and checked myself in the mirror.
My left eye had a slight purple shade under it. My cheek was awful. The cut itself was an angry red and the bruising around it was a moody dark purple with black splotches. As I guessed my lip was fine just sore. My head still throbbed I felt a large bump and deep cut on it. Great. I made my way downstairs with my shirt in my hand. I'm not really self-conscious so I wasn't embarrassed at that I was embarrassed that I couldn't even get my own shirt on. Everyone was up eating breakfast. They all turned to look at me. Everyone said good morning. I noticed Jasper had a slight bluey bruise over his nose and one on his jaw. I would kill that bastard.
"So what's with a shirtless boy in the dining room?" Momma asked. Edward snorted, so did Georgie and Ollie. Even though Ollie probably didn't even get it.
"I…um… kind of can't get my…. Um shirt on.." I confessed.
Everyone but Dad laughed at me. I gave them the death glare.
"C'mon then Emmy, into the living room." Momma said stifling giggles.
She held up my shirt while I slid painfully into it. My shoulder had swelled twice its size now. I buttoned it up as I sat at the table and grabbed some toast.
"What?" Dad was staring at me.
No answer. "What are you staring at?" I asked.
"I'll kill that punk." Dad growled.
"Who?" I asked, confused.
"That brat, who messed your face up." He snarled.
" My face isn't so bad, and anyways I'm going to kill him."
"Not bad! Your covered in bruises Em! Hell you can't even get your shirt on for crying out loud." He spluttered.
"Whoa Dad seriously, I'm fine just a lil' sore." I tried to calm him.
"A little sore? God Em you're black and blue, what will the teachers at school think when you go back on Monday?"
"Okay, I am , but it won't last long, the teachers can think what they want, they know me and David get into fights." I shrugged. "Ouch."
"Robert sit down." Momma told him before he went into a rage.
"Fine, but I will tell the police Emmy." I said looking at me.
"There's no point, they won't do anything."
"He was kicking you with steel toed boots, I'm sure the police will do something."
I sighed and ate my toast, letting it go, I knew he wouldn't tell the police, even if he did they won't do anything, they never do.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"8. I have to go to work, bye kids, bye Love." Dad left.
After breakfast it was half 8, someone was bound to be out, it was sunny. I went to get the rest of my clothes on.
"Has anyone seen my shoes?" I yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Under the stairs Em!" Joshua shouted.
"Thanks."
I ran to get them on, I grabbed my keys and tried to go out,
"And where do you think you're going?" Momma asked, hands on her hips.
"The park."
"In your condition?"
"Condition?" I asked.
"Emmy, you can't get a shirt on, never mind mess about in the park." She sighed.
"Will everyone just forget about the damn shirt!" I yelled knowing everyone was listening. "I'm meeting people there." I protested.
"Not anymore."
"Aww please Momma."
"No." She stated firmly. " Georgie can go and tell them why you can't come out." I groaned.
"When can I go back out then?"
"Your Dad said tomorrow if you're a good boy."
I heard giggles from the hall.
"So we finally have a summer, and I have to be stuck at home." I slumped into the armchair, hiding my wince from Momma.
"Oh you won't be stuck in here all day, you are coming shopping with me." I groaned.
"We went shopping on Saturday." I wailed.
"School shopping." Even worse. How the hell do I get out of this? I thought. It had taken literally hours of begging to stay at home.
Everyone left at once then, Momma took Ollie and Edward Shopping. Robbie and Joshua went swimming. Jasper went to see him friends and Georgie went to the park.
I sighed and lay on couch, relaxing, it was so rare that everyone was out, it was peaceful, so peaceful that I completely forgot about lunch and fell to sleep.
I dreamt of an angel, she was beautiful. She saved me and took me under her wing, no pun intended, then I noticed, it was Rosalie, my angel.
I woke with a start. Someone had put a blanket over me. I smiled, I had a great family.
"Emmy!"
"Hey Georgie, what's up buddy?"
"I saw Mary today."
"Really?"
"Yeah, she sends her love by the way."
"Huh, that was nice of her." I vaguely remember her being in the crowd around me, David and Jasper yesterday.
"She and her friends where talking about the fight to some new girls." He said.
"New girls?"
"Yeah, Rosalie, Alice and Bella." My heart rised.
"They were all really pretty." He said.
"I know one is." I laughed.
"Which?"
"Rosalie."
"Yeas, she was really pretty." He smiled. I could tell he was going to be a real ladies man in a couple of years. I smiled at that thought.
"What time is it buddy?"
"About 5."
Jeez, I'd slept for 3 hours straight.
"Dinner time!" Dad yelled from the dining room.
Joshua, Robbie, Jasper and Edward all ran downstairs. Me and Georgie went. Everyone was at the table then. The day had flew by.
The next day I managed to get my shirt on myself, though it took half an hour, I still did it. My bruises where still no better.
I wore the same as yesterday and rushed out, yelled a quick bye, before anyone could stop me. The park was filled with screaming kids and some people from my school, mostly younger ones around Edward's age. I saw David with his youngest sister, Joan in the corner of the park, his nose was crooked and bruised and he had a bruise above his right eyebrow. I tried not to laugh. I went to sit on a tyre swing. Soon enough I saw Mary rushing over.
"Emmy!" She squealed.
"Mary!" I chuckled.
She embraced me tightly. "Ouch, damn it." I yelped.
"Oh my gosh, Emmy, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean too, what hurts?"
I laughed. "Nah it's okay, you just caught my shoulder there."
"So you're okay?"
"Yup, totally fine."
"In that case budge up." I laughed and moved so she could sit next to me. We swung for a while.
"So where's your posy today?" I joked.
"Posy?" She giggled
"Yeah, posy." I laughed
"I'm not sure, asleep I think. What about your pack?" We erupted in laughter.
"I don't have a clue, I came straight here."
"Missed me?"
"Oh, Mary, more than anything! I think of you day and night. I don't know how I would survive without you in my life!" We laughed so much we felt like we would piss ourselves. We got a few looks.
"You're fun Em, Yeah I totally agree with you though, I am pretty amazing." She laughed.
"Yeah you are." I said still laughing.
"You bet." She winked.
"So, made new friends?" I asked.
"Georgie?" She asked.
"The one and only." I winked.
"Yeah, me and my 'posy' met some new girls yesterday, the new doctor's daughters, Rosalie, Alice and Bella Hale."
"Part of the posy now?"
"I guess so; they're going to our school too!" She squealed.
"Yay!" I squealed back, joking of course.
"Oh here's Rosalie now." She said getting up to hug her. She was walking over to me now with Mary.
"Emmy, this is Rosalie, Rosalie this is Emmett." She introduced us, like she needed to; obviously Rosalie hadn't told her we'd met.
"Nice to meet you." I played along, winking.
She blushed. "You too."
"So I hear you're in the posy." I laughed at mine and Mary's joke.
She looked confused. "Better than being in your pack, Emmy." Mary laughed.
She looked more confused now. "Oh, you missed the joke, Mary's friends are now the posy and mine are the pack." I explained, she smiled. "And the pack is actually way better than the posy thank you very much." I said to Mary like a 6 year old defending his toys.
"You wish." She shot back
"So, are you in the posy?" I turned back to Rosalie.
"Ummm…."
"Of course she is!" Mary said. "And your sisters." She said to her.
"Oh, then yes I am." She smiled.
"Aww, shame, you would have been a good pack member." I sighed jokingly.
"Believe me Rosalie, you do not want to be in the pack, all they do is, get into fights, mess about at school, get detentions and the cane." She explained.
"Hey! Do not!" I defended.
"Oh really? Show me your hand." She ordered. I reluctantly held my hand out.
"See all the cane scars." She pointed.
"Not too many." I muttered.
"Sure." Mary laughed. I loved being with Mary, unlike many of my relationships, we were even closer friends after we broke up. It wasn't even awkward or anything.
"Where are your sisters?" Mary asked Rosalie.
"They're still in bed."
"Really? Why? It's well late!" I asked a tad rudely. Oops.
"It's not too late Em. It's only 9." Mary said.
"That's late!" I protested.
"Not for us normal people." She laughed.
"They, like to sleep in as there's no school, plus they were up all night helping my Mom decorate." Rosalie explained.
"Oh. I love sleeping in."
"Why don't you?"
"Force of habit, I have 3 older brothers and 3 younger, always woken up by at least one, if not you wonder what's up." We all laughed.
"Is someone a lil' paranoid, Emmy Bear." Mary giggled.
"Emmy Bear?" I questioned.
"Yeah, you're like a bear Em like a big teddy bear." She laughed.
"You calling me fat!" I yelled, feigning being hurt. We laughed. I patted the space next to me for Rosalie. She sat down smiling. I smiled back.
"Right that's it, no more Em or Emmy, you're officially Emmy- Bear!" Mary said.
"Aww Mamie." I whined using my awful nickname for her.
"Rosalie, swear to use it too." She said. "Emmy-Bear, don't you dare do your puppy eyes and pout on her!" I sighed.
"I swear, why is it really bad or something?"
"Yes, it's awful, he can get away with anything with them damn eyes and pout."
"Really?"
"Do it Emmy- Bear." I grinned and put on my puppy-pout as everyone called it.
I tried extra hard too. "Oh, I see why it's hard!" She laughed. I stopped, laughing.
"Kay, so if I'm Emmy- Bear, you're defiantly Mamie." I said firmly.
"Aw c'mon!"
"Rosalie, please agree and swear to use it." I pulled out my puppy-pout.
"Fine! I swear!" she giggled.
"Yes!" I fist pounded the air with my good arm.
"Fine. We need one for you then Rosalie." Mary said.
"Ummm…. Any ideas?" I asked Rosalie.
"No, my family call me Rosie, but that's all."
"Not embarrassing enough." I said.
"Oh no, does it have to be embarrassing?"
"Yes!" Me and Mamie said together.
"I know!" I said.
"What?" They said together.
"Angel." I said.
"What?" They spluttered, Rosalie blushed.
"Well, you have the golden hair and that, which is kind of like an angels plus it's embarrassing." I said.
"Yeah, it could work." Mamie said.
"No! Way too embarrassing." Angel said.
"That's the point though, the more you hate it, the better of a nick name it is." I explained.
"It's true, he's always hated being called Emmy, but he answers to it now, like Daniel does." She said.
"Who's Daniel?" She asked.
"My best buddy, part of the pack." I said.
"What's his nickname?"
"Danny- Boy. You know from the song." I said.
"Well that's embarrassing." She laughed.
"Yup, but he's been answering to that for years now." I said.
"Even teachers call him that sometimes." Mamie laughed.
"It's true." I laughed.
"So everyone has a nickname here then?" She asked
"Well, yeah, all of our friends anyway." I answered.
"So, who has the most embarrassing?"
"I think, Emmy- Bear does." Mamie said, giggling.
"Oh, so what do you call like your brothers and sisters? I need some ideas for mine." She said.
"Well I'm an only child so…" Mamie shrugged.
"Well, I call Robbie, Robin redbreast, I call Joshua, Joshums, I call Jasper, Jazzy, I call Edward, Eddie Boy, I call Georgie, Georgie- porgy and I call Ollie, Oliver oil." I said.
"Lot of brothers." She gasped.
"You bet, so what are your sisters called?"
"Alice and Bella."
"Hmmm hard ones, so what are they like, appearance I mean?"
"Well Alice is really short and…"
"I got it….Pixie!" I said smiling.
"Yeah! That's a good one suits her perfectly!" She exclaimed.
"Now for Bella." Mamie said.
"Bella-Boo." I said. "What? It sounds cute and funny also not to mention embarrassing."
"Cool, so we have all nicknames!" Mamie said.
"Epic!" I said.
Soon all of my 'pack' and Mamie's 'posy' came into the park.
"Em! Heard about the fight! You okay?" Danny boy asked.
"Fine, just sore." I called back. They all walked over then, James, John, William, Thomas, Joseph and Calvin. They stood around the swing. Mamie's posy came then and stood on the other side of the swing.
"What have you been up to? We called round yesterday, but there was no answer." James said.
"Oh, that's probably when I fell asleep, I was the only one in, sorry, I wasn't even allowed out anyways." I explained.
"It's okay. Did you set David straight though?"
"I'm sorry to say, I lost." I lied, looking upset.
"No way!" Danny boy cried.
"Jokes, 'course I won!" I laughed.
"Good, don't want our rep to slip." William said.
"Right." I said sarcastically.
"Who's this?" Thomas asked, gesturing to Angel.
"Angel." Me and Mamie said.
"Angel?" She looked embarrassed.
"Another annoying nickname Em?" Danny boy asked.
"You bet." I winked.
"Stop calling him Em guys, he has a worse nickname than Emmy now!" Mamie said.
"Really? What?" They all said. I laughed.
"Emmy- Bear." She said.
They howled with laughter.
"You said it Mamie." I laughed.
"Mamie?" her posy asked.
"Yup, her nickname now." I laughed, as did everyone.
I spent all day at the park, until Momma called me in for Dinner, I had skipped lunch. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Rosalie's POV.
I woke up at normal time today. Mom and Dad where at work and Alice and Bella where in bed still. I started lazing about when I remembered, Emmett.
I got dressed in a rush and hurried out of the door, leaving a note.
When I got to the park I heard laughing. I saw Mary right away, her blonde hair blowing in the wind, her brown eyes glistening. She was on the tyre swing, laughing at something, I looked a little closer and there was another person there, I would recognise those curls anywhere and that laugh. It was Emmett.
They turned and saw me. I looked at Emmett. Under his beautiful left eye was a light purple bruise. On his left cheek was an awful cut with dark purple surrounding it. He was wearing ebony black trousers and a white shirt, he had a short blood red tie hanging loosely down his chest. I could actually make out some of his muscles of his chest as some were exposed as some buttons where undone. Though on his right shoulder was a large bulk, this was probably all the dressing from where he'd been kicked.
Mary came over to me, embraced me in a hug. I hugged back. Emmett was looking at us, smiling.
We went over to him,
"Emmy, this is Rosalie, Rosalie this is Emmett."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." He winked.
"You too." I said, I felt myself blush.
"So you're in the posy?" he laughed. I thought he was making fun of me.
"Better than being in your pack Emmy." Mary said back, they erupted into laughter.
"Oh, you missed the joke, Mary's friends are now the posy and mine are the pack." I explained, she smiled. "And the pack is actually way better than the posy thank you very much." Emmett explained childishly.
"You wish!" She shot back.
As the day went by, we all got nicknames, Emmy-Bear, Mamie and Angel. I secretly loved it, because Emmett had chosen it and wasn't joking. I was now part of the posy and I had a ton of new friends. I really loved it here.
There! Done this chapter, finally, sorry about Rosalie's being so short, but it would just be repeating it's self over and over and that would be boring. So more soon and please review xxx
