Hey everyone, I wanted to say I'm so sorry for not updating this story sooner. I ran into some writer's block so it took me a while to see where the story was going. But I've had some inspiration so I've already got a few more chapters written so I will hopefully be able to update this story regularly.

I do not own any characters associated with "Twilight".

Getting into the car Rosalie took a deep breath in as she watched Emmett climb into the driver's seat. Looking over she looked back down at her hands. "You okay Rosy?" he asked as he saw a stream of tears run down her cheeks. Shaking her head she looked up. "I don't want to go home. I don't want to him to be pissed because you offered to drive me to my final dress fitting today. I don't want you to get hurt." She said as Emmet chuckled and looked over at her. "I'm not worried about me. Royce wants to pick a fight I'll fucking fight him. Got no problem with that, my concern is letting you go home and him taking his anger out on you." He said as she looked up and cupped his hand with her cheek. "Thank you." She said as Emmet smiled and reached over and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Arriving at Rosalie's home she could see her mother and Royce in the kitchen pacing back and forth. "Guess it's time to face the music." She said as Emmett nodded. Reaching for the door Emmett grabbed her arm to stop her. "Rose wait." He said as she turned back to him and looked at him. "What?" she asked as he suddenly turned serious. "If he does anything, I mean anything...leave get in your car and come to me or to Alice's. Okay?" he asked as she nodded. "Okay." She said as she got out of the car and grabbed her dress out of the back.

Walking into the house she looked over to see her mother and Royce walk into the living room. "Rosalie, Emmett where have you been?" she asked as Rosalie held up the bag. "Had a final dress fitting, Emmett happened to be here so he gave me a lift to the shop. "She said as her mother gave her a hug. "Well I'm glad you're back. Goodnight Rosalie." She said as both Emmett and Rosalie watched her mother leave.

"Royce sweetie, you'll love the dress." She said as Royce received her embrace while sending hatred glares at Emmett. "Can't wait to see it...and what will be underneath It." he said as Rosalie pulled away. "Royce!" she said as she turned her attention toward Emmett. "Emmett thanks for today." She said as Emmett nodded. Both Emmett and Royce watched as Rosalie disappeared upstairs.

Royce turned his attention to Emmett as he walked up to him. "You're supposed to be my best man and my best friend. I thought best friends weren't supposed to try and sleep with others friend's fiancées?" Royce asked as Emmett looked up. "I'm not trying to sleep with Rosalie. All I'm doing is trying to give you a hand. Help with the wedding. Which is what, I've been doing." Emmett said as Royce nodded. "Whatever Emmett, after the wedding we're not friends anymore. Get the fuck out of my house and leave Rosalie alone." He said shoving Emmett toward the door and leaving. Emmett flipped Royce off as he left the house.

After stepping out of the shower Rosalie threw her hair up into a messy bun dressed for bed. After slipping into her sweat pants she looked up to see Royce leaning against the door frame. "What Royce?" she asked as Royce shrugged. "Nothing, my future wife is messing around with my best friend and best man. Your mother is going to love that." He said as Rosalie chuckled. "You wanna talk about "messing around" why don't you tell my mother about the three girls that I know about you've been with since you decided to put a ring on my finger. Let's talk about that." She said as Royce raised an eyebrow. "When did you get so brave that you think you can talk to me like that?" he asked as she stepped in front of him. "How about the day you, beat me to hell." She said as he looked down at her. "And you could've gotten away tonight without a bruise on you tonight." He said as Rosalie went to step away only to be backhanded which sent her hard into the wooden floor.

Rosalie could only see black, but could feel two hands on either side of her face. She could also hear someone calling her name. Feeling the darkness start to leave she heard someone call out to her. "Open your eyes." She heard as she slowly opened her eyes to see two perfect blue eyes staring back down at her. "Goddamn it Rosy don't scare me like that again." He said as he sat her up gently. "Emmett what are you doing here? What happened?" she asked as Emmett smiled. "You think I was going to let you go into that house knowing Royce was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. I'm not that much of an idiot." He said as she laughed softly winching in pain. "How bad am I?" she asked as he kept his hands on either side of her face. "Not that bad. After he told me to leave I knew he'd leave the door unlocked. I just snuck back upstairs saw him take a swing at you. I tackled him." He said as Rosalie noticed his eye was slightly swollen and a cut on his lip. "He took a swing at you too?" she asked as she inspected his eye and lip. "I'll be fine." He said as she looked around. "Where is Royce?" she asked as Emmett removed his hands from her face down to her waist. "I knocked him out. You're here at my place. Safe." He said as Rosalie looked into his eyes. "I could go stay at Alice's. I don't wanna put you out." She said as Emmett shook his head. "It's not a problem. Besides, Royce knows not to come here. I'll kick his ass again." He said making her laugh. "You can take my bed I'll take the couch." He said as Rosalie grabbed his arm. "No...Stay I want you to." She said as Emmett sat back down on the couch. Pulling her to him, he wrapped his arms around Rosalie as she lowered head onto his chest. Shutting her eyes she felt Emmett wrap the blanket that was on the back side of the couch over them.

Again I am sorry for the long wait and hopefully everyone enjoyed the update.
