OUTTAKE!

Rachel's POV

"Cash, stop bouncing the bed," I said as I tried to hurry to apply my makeup.

"You weren't complaining earlier," he said, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I hated when I tried to be mad at him he would make me laugh. "Why do you wear so much makeup?"

"Because I like makeup."

"You don't need it," he said smoothly as he leaned in to kiss my lips. I loved Cash so much. He and I have an odd love-hate relationship. My mom said that's how it has always been between us. He was my best friend.

"I love you," I said with a smile.

"I love you more, Princess. Now let's go before your father hurts me." I get up with a laugh and we head out the house.

Jacob was graduating high school, and the whole family was going to be there. I have no clue how he pulled it off, although I'm pretty sure my dad paid the school off. He even graduated with honors! My dad and Jake have been in many fights; Jake was hard to handle. One night, when Jake was sixteen, I saw my dad really lose his temper. It was the last big fight they ever had. Jake just pushed Dad too far. I remembered being so scared. I knew my dad was in the mob - Cash explained it to me - but that night, I saw the mobster that was my father. I was glad Cash was with me that night; I really needed him. Cash was amazing in stressful situations.

Cash and I were snuggled on the couch studying, when we heard car doors slamming. My mom came running down the hall to see what was going on. I sat up into Cash's lap and waited for the show to begin. Jake and Dad always fought, but I had never seen Dad give out anything more than a spanking.

"That was the stupidest thing you could have ever done! You are going to end up in a jail cell, and there will be nothing I can do to help!" Dad yelled as Mom stood between them.

"I wonder what he did?" I whispered as I kissed Cash's earlobe. He quickly kissed me and I giggled.

"I don't want your fucking help! I didn't even do anything!" Jake yelled in Dad's face.

"What happened?" Mom asked as Dad laughed.

"For starters, he's suspended for a week. And for what? Drum roll please…fighting! Then the principal said Jacob looked high, so they had him searched. Guess what they found?" Dad asked, scary as hell.

"Drugs?" my mom asked, surprisingly not sounding shocked. "Jake, what is wrong with you?"

"It was only a little pot," Jake said.

"Jacob, you're better than this," mom said. Jake laughed in mom's face.

"You are one to talk," he said to mom with another laugh. "You were the stupid one who brought us into this life. If it wasn't for you, I would have gotten into half the fights. I'm not going to sit back and let people talk shit about my family! About my little sister or brothers!"

"What are they saying?" Mom asked.

"Oh, where the fuck do I begin!"

"Watch your mouth!" Dad yelled.

"You're not my father, so stop acting like it!" Jake yelled. I saw Dad clench his fits. Jake knew how to get under his skin.

"Jake, what are people saying?" Mom asked again. This time she sounded mad.

"Lizzie told Sarah that she and I are going to get married right after graduation, so now everyone thinks we're kissing cousins. Then Cash and Rachel can't keep their hands off of each other, making everything worse! I'm sick of high school, so I smoke a little pot. Big deal! I'm doing everything that is 'expected' of me! You are just lucky that for some reason, I love Lizzy! I doubt we will stick around after graduation," he said as Mom started crying. That pissed Dad off, and he grabbed Jacob by the throat and slammed him into the wall.

"You have had a good life, so don't you dare throw anything in your mother's face! There is a lot you kids don't know! Things I know none of you remember! If your mother had a choice, she would have divorced me a month after we were married! I tricked her into marriage, and she did what she had to do to keep you and your siblings safe!" Dad yelled as Jake turned blue.

"Dad! Let go!" I said, jumping up off of Cash. Dad let go and Jake fell to the floor.

"All of you listen to me and listen good!" Dad started to say.

"Wait…this is why no one has ever said anything about Cash and I being together? I have to marry him, don't I?" I asked as Cashed ran his finger through his hair. It really was weird when you were told who you were going to marry.

"Rachel…yeah, you will have to marry Cash," Mom said, wiping her tears away. "I'm so sorry."

"I'm going to stay at Lizzie's," Jake said, heading for the door.

"No! Go to your room!" Dad yelled, pulling at his hair. "I want your car keys and wallet." Jacob whipped his keys at dad, and he threw his wallet on the floor.

"I hate you both." Hearing Jake say that to our parents, made me break down. Just then, Evan came home. Mom and I were crying, Dad was going through Jake's wallet, and Cash was comforting me.

"What did Jake do now?" Evan asked, jumping up on the kitchen counter and eating some chips.

"Don't worry about it," Dad said as he calmed down.

"Must have been bad if he got both of them crying," he said nonchalantly.

That was Evan; nothing fazed him. He was almost cold toward everyone. He still is. The only time I see him have any feelings, is when he is with his girlfriend. She's an outsider, but we all knew the relationship wouldn't last. I guess Evan was just like my dad, and would wait till the last minute to be married if he joined the family. He was said to marry Liam's daughter, who was the same age as Evan, and when they met, Evan said no, but we all know he will marry her one day. With the arranged marriages, we were usually married right after high school, so we still have to wait and to see what will happen.

That night, we had a family meeting, and that's where we all found out about the mob and how our parents met. They didn't think we knew, but we did. I knew Edward wasn't my biological father, but he was my dad. Dad made Cash leave, and I called him crying after the meeting. Their story was heartbreaking, and I would have never thought that. My parents really loved each other. I would hear them once in a while fighting, but they always got over it. My mom was a bitch, but I loved that about her. My dad said that I was too much like her, and that Cash had another thing coming, but we grew up together, so he knew what he was getting.

Bella took Evan to baseball practice, and I was staying home, being in the funk mood that I was in. Jacob was the biggest pain in the ass, and that was saying something when I dealt with shitheads every day. It was always something with him, and I didn't know what to do. I knew he was going through the whole faze of 'you're not my father'. He pushed me too far, though. I hated the way he talked to his mother. I hated putting my hands on him. I hated that my little girl saw me get so mad. I hated having a family meeting and telling them all about how Bella and I met. Mike knew the whole story, but he was a good kid. He came too, and asked about what he couldn't remember. After the meeting, Mike went out, Rach went to her room to talk on the phone, and Jacob was in his room. I was lying in my bed watching TV. I just needed to chill after everything that had go on.

"Hey," Jake said from the doorway. "Is Mom back yet?"

"No, probably another thirty minutes or so," I told him not taking my eyes off the TV.

"Oh, is she bringing home dinner?"

"Yeah."

"What are you watching?" he asked as he made his way into the room.

"Orange County Choppers," I said as he sat on Bella's side of the bed.

"I love this show."

"I know you do," I said as he sighed. I knew what was coming.

"I'm sorry," he said, not looking at me. "I'm just sick of hearing people talking shit about us. Ya know you need to have a talk with Rachel, and tell her that she needs to keep her mouth shut. She trusts too easily."

"I'll talk to her tomorrow," I said. I was glad he was telling me this; I didn't know. "You need to stop fighting; I'm not bailing you out anymore."

"Okay," he said with a sigh. "Were you madder about the fighting, or the weed?"

"Jake, I love you and you are my son, but fuck! I don't want you doing drugs. I thought you were smarter than that. But, to answer your question, it was the fighting and the way you talked to your mother."

"So, you don't care if I smoke?"

"Jacob…don't bring it to school, and keep to a weekend thing. Tell your mother I said that, and I will floor you," I said as he laughed.

"Dad, I am sorry," he said looking at me.

"I love you," I said as he rolled his eyes at me.

"Love you, too," he said, shaking his head at me. We were quiet for a while before Jake started to talk again. "I really want one," he said, talking about a chopper.

"Make you a deal," I said as I faced him. "Go the rest of your high school career without fighting, and you graduate with honors, and I will buy you one."

"Dad, don't fuck with me!"

"I'm not," I said as I saw the little boy I first met.

"Oh my god! You have a deal! Dad, I won't let you down! I'm going to go do my homework," he said as he jumped out of bed. "Wait, can Lizzie come over to help me? I'll keep the door open, I swear."

"Sure, and if she needs a ride, I'll call your mother," I said as he ran down the hall.

The rest of the night went smoothly. I had my happy family again. I smiled when Jake hugged Bella and told her he was sorry. Of course, Bella being Bella, she had to state her feelings, and Jake stood there without saying a word. I was hoping he would be a little happier now.

Rachel's POV

Cash raced to the high school, making it there on time. We walked hand-in-hand until we found the family. I was excited for my life after high school. I watched as Mikey married Emma. I found it weird that they weren't in love by the time they were married, though. They were friends, but at one point, neither one of them wanted to be married. He was home one night, and he and Dad had gotten into an argument, which they never did. They never really raised their voices at each other, so I never heard what was said. This was when dad said I was most like Mom, because that night, I went into Mikey's room to be nosy about what had happened. I remembered walking in and sitting on his bed. He was texting as he tried to ignore me.

"Are you okay?" I asked as he rolled his eyes.

"I'm fine, Rach," he said laying his head back.

"You and Dad never fight," I stated as he nodded his head.

"Edward and I have always had an open relationship, but…you're too young, you won't understand," he said as I looked to my hands.

"I'm not stupid, Mikey. I know you and Emma don't want to get married," I said as he huffed.

"Ya know how Mom said we never have to do anything we don't want to?" he asked as I nodded. "Well, this is one of the things we have to do no matter what."

"Are you going to join the family?" I asked. We all knew Evan would, and maybe Jake, but Mikey never said either way.

"I don't know, but I need to figure this out; Grandpa wants an answer."

"What's Dad say?"

"He told me to go to college and stay out of it, but either way, I have to marry Em," he said.

"What's Grandpa say?"

"Rach, you're too young for me to talk to you about this with you," he said as I rolled my eyes.

"Come on! Cash has told a bunch of stuff. Jasper told him he was joining no matter what," I said as Mikey's eyes grew.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. He called me crying one night…don't tell him I told you that."

"You know me better than that."

"I know, but he said he felt like a pussy for crying over it," I said as he laughed. "He said it was his duty as the oldest to join. He doesn't care per say, but he doesn't want to be told what to do."

"That's what Edward told me, about the whole oldest thing, but it's different for me. We were never adopted, so it is strictly our choice. With Evan, I think Dad would push more," he told me.

"Evan already said he's in."

"He's too young to understand what it is really. Hell, I don't even know what it is. Just don't worry about it," he said smiling at me.

"Why don't you go out on a date with Emma?"

"Why?"

"Because it would show you were trying. You never know, you may like her," I said as I got up to leave. Mikey didn't say anything else to me, but he did go out on a date with her the following Friday.

Cash and I sat in front of my parents and our grandparents. Grandpa kept saying how happy he was to see that Cash and I were so in love. It made me laugh for the fact that we were only sixteen and seventeen, but hey, whatever made the old man happy. I can't remember a time where Cash wasn't in my life, and I wanted it to stay that way. The graduation dragged on for what seemed liked hours. I lay my head on Cash's shoulder, and he played with my hair. At one point, I heard Alice say 'awe', and I laughed.

Cash has always been my best friend, and when I was thirteen, and he was fourteen, we knew there was something more between us. I had a very embarrassing conversation with my mom, and she said it was perfectly fine if we wanted to date. Jasper told Cash the same thing, so we started dating. Dating for us consisted of going to the movies and hanging out at each other's houses. We were easy, but the other boys didn't have it so easy. Like I said before, Mikey and Emma didn't want to be married, but they are now, and he did join the family. They seem to love each other, but I have yet to ask him about it. I don't get to see him very often, because he works in Oregon for one of the thousand businesses that the family owns. Jake and Lizzie were always together, but he was never nice to her. When they turned sixteen, they started to date, and they would be married soon after graduation.

Following the graduation, we headed over to the grandparent's house for a party. We had great food, and an overall great time. Important days always made mom sad. I knew she still missed my father. She never let us forget him. Every year, we went to Forks to visit him. Mom and Mikey took it the hardest when we went, but sometimes I felt bad when I couldn't give any emotion. Both my parents said it was okay, since I had never known him, but I still felt guilty. I know mom truly loved my father.

Dad said he had something to show everyone, so we followed. He went to the garage, and Jacob was bouncing with excitement. He looked like a little kid. Lizzie was laughing at Jake every time he would hug her. Before we found out what Dad had to show, we were all excited.

"Jacob and I have never seen eye-to-eye, but we had an understanding. A couple of years ago, we made a deal, and he held up his end of it. I can honestly say that I was shocked when I realized I had to hold up my end. Jake, your mother and I love you very much, and we are very proud of you," Dad said as he lifted the garage door.

My jaw hit the floor when I saw a motorcycle. Not just any motorcycle, but an Orange County Chopper! It was amazing. I was so jealous! The theme of the bike was video games. There were no words I could use to describe it. The handle bars were controllers, and seat was an old Xbox. It was just the coolest thing ever! Jake grabbed a hold of Dad and picked him up off his feet, hugging him. He spun Mom around, and she started telling him that he needed to be safe. Jake just laughed at her.

"I won't go far, but I'm so taking this for a spin," Jake said, helping Lizzie with her helmet. He started up the bike and I broke out with cold chills at the sound of the motor.

"Daddy?" I said, looking up at my father. He raised his eyebrow at me and I kept talking. "I really want one!" I said, jumping up and down. "Please!"

"I don't know," he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Come on! Please, Dad, please," I begged as I watched Jake ride away. I was so jealous.

"We'll talk about it later," he said. I knew I would get one; I was his princess, and he hated to tell me no.

Everything seemed to work out for our family. We were happy. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the way we became part of this family, but I'm so happy we did.

Okay I'm pretty sure that is all I am going to be posting! I hope you enjoyed it.
