CHAPTER FORTY-NINE:
GRADUATION
"THANK GOD WE'RE ABOUT to graduate. I don't know how much longer I was going to last in that school." Emma loudly stated. Jasper rolled his eyes at his sister before forcing her into her seat which was between him and Amelia. Emma turned her head to look at Amelia and offered her a smile. "Hey, Amy. How've ya been, we haven't talked in a few days."
"I have been good, what about you Em?" Amelia responded with a matching smile.
"Well currently I am a very happy vamp. We're about to graduate for the millionth time and we'll get to leave and it makes me so happy that I won't have to be around anyone in this town." Emma said with a smile. Amelia rolled her eyes playfully at the blonde.
"You know that with Be-"
"Don't say the whore's name and ruin my happiness." Emma said, holding up a finger so the girl would stop. Amelia chuckled in amusement before continuing her sentence.
"With her here, Edward's not going to want to leave."
"I disowned him as being part of my family last year anyways. So guess what? I don't give a shit." Emma said with a sweet smile. Amelia let out a laugh at the blonde's words, shaking her head slightly.
"I don't know what's more amusing," Amelia started. "Your hate for those two, or the love triangle they got going on."
Emma chuckled at this and shrugged her shoulders. "I think they're both very amusing."
"Glad you two could talk or whatever, but the Stanley girl's about to give her speech." Jasper interrupted them. Emma turned her head to look at him, her lip jutting out in a pout.
"But we were having an amusing conversation."
"Have it later." Jasper said, patting his sisters leg. She huffed before leaning back in her chair. Amelia placed her head on Emma's shoulder as they all listened to Jessica give her Valedictorian speech.
"When we were five they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, our answers were things like, astronaut, president or in my case a princess. When we were ten they asked us again we answered, rockstar, cowboy or in my case a gold medalist." The crowd chuckled at these words before she continued. "But now that we've grown up they want a serious answer. Well, how about this, who the hell knows! This isn't the time to make hard, fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes, take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere, fall in love...a lot. Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothing's permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can, that way someday when they ask what we wanna be we won't have to guess, we'll know."
Everyone clapped for the girl as she came off the stage and sat down in her seat. One by one, all the students were called up to grab their diplomas. When Emma went up, she gave Amelia a bored look and Amelia just smirked in amusement. Once all the students were called, Emma let out a sigh of relief. She and Amelia walked out of the school with their arms linked before they jumped into Emmett's jeep that Amelia had taken to school. Once Jasper and Alice got into the back, Amelia sped off towards the home.
"Guess who graduated for the millionth time!" Emma shouted as she entered the home. "I did." Rosalie and Emmett looked at the girl with amused looks before they got off the couch and walked over to their mates. "You know, kinda offended you didn't come and see me walk the stage. I looked amazing."
"She did look absolutely gorgeous as ever." Amelia nodded in agreement as Emmett wrapped an arm around her waist. Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"Don't make her ego bigger than it already is."
Emma gasped in mock offense. "You don't think I'm beautiful? Alright, I see how it is."
"Will you shush and get ready for the party? The guest are going to start arriving in a few hours." Alice chastised the girl.
"Why is it that you only yell at me?" Emma asked as Alice walked away. "Just because you're married to my brother doesn't mean you get to be an ass to me!" Emma yelled. They group all chuckled at her words. "Jazz, tell her to stop being mean to me."
Jasper smirked at his sister. "I'll tell her, but I doubt she'll listen."
"Well make her." Emma huffed. Jasper chuckled at her before shaking his head and going in the direction that Alice went. "No one in this house loves me except for Esme. Mama! Show me love and affection because no one else will." She gave Esme a side hug and the woman smiled at the blonde before playfully rolling her eyes and hugging her back. Emma gave the other three a pointed look. "See, at least someone loves me."
"Come on, Em. I can hear Alice digging through your closet." Amelia said. Emma stood up straight and listened before her eyes narrowed.
"Alice! Get the hell out of my closet!" Emma shouted before quickly leaving the others and speeding to her room. The family all exchanged looks, all of them having small smiles on their faces. This was the Emma that they all remembered. The one they all desperately missed.

"Sometimes I wish I could get drunk." Emma sighed as she stood with her brother. The party was loud and in full swing. There were so many people. Jasper and Emma stood off to the side, both wearing fancier clothes than they normally wore. Jasper chuckled at her.
"Only you, Em. Only you."
Emma turned her head when she saw Bella enter the home, going straight towards Jessica and Angela. Emma sighed. "Oh look, the whore's here." Not too long after, Jacob showed up. "And the whore's other boyfriend is here as well. This just keeps getting better and better."
"Why do you keep calling her a whore?" Jasper asked, an amused smirk falling on his features.
"'Cause she is one." The two then decided to take their leave, going up the stairs and passing Alice on the way. They both stopped and turned when they heard a soft gasp leave Alice's lips. Bella appeared in front of her.
"Alice, what did you see?"
"A decision has been made." Alice answered. Jasper and Emma exchanged looks before walking away and gathering everyone. Emma stood beside her brother with her arms crossed over her chest. Soon, Alice, Bella, and even the three wolves came in. Alice stood beside of Amelia as the wolves stood further away from the group. Alice explained her vision to the group, and when the newborns were mentioned, Emma sighed loudly.
"They'll be here in four days." Alice tells them.
"This could turn into a blood bath." Carlisle said from his spot beside Bella.
"Who's behind it?" Edward asked, glancing at the smallest vampire.
"I didn't see anyone I recognized." She paused. "Maybe one."
"I know his face. He's local. Riley Biers." Edward spoke. "He didn't start this."
"Whoever did is staying out of the action." Alice says.
"Whoever they are must be playing with the blind spots in your vision." Emma spoke up, her tone completely serious and no longer playful like it had been earlier.
"Either way, the army's coming and there aren't enough of us to protect the town." Jasper speaks, sharing a look with Emma.
"Hold up. What damn army?" Jacob asked. Emma rolled her eyes at the clueless wolf, surprised Bella hadn't told him.
"Newborns, our kind." Carlisle answers.
"What are they after?" Embry, one of the other wolves, asked.
"They were passing around Bella's scent." Alice said. Emma, of course, rolled her eyes at this, silently cursing the brunette in her head which resulted in Edward glaring at her. "A red blouse."
"They're after Bella?" Jacob asked. "What the hell does this mean?"
"It means an ugly fight, with lives lost." Carlisle answered.
Jacob looked at the vampire before turning his head to look at the other two wolves. He looked back at Carlisle before nodding his head. "Alright, we're in."
"No. You'd get yourselves killed, no way." Bella said, shaking her head.
"I wasn't asking for permission." Jacob responded. Emma rose her eyebrows, an amused smirk falling on her face.
"Edward." Bella tried. Edward looked at the wolves as he answered her.
"It means more protection for you."
"Jacob, do you believe Sam would agree to. . . an understanding?" Carlisle asked.
"As long as we get to kill some vampires."
"Jasper? Emma?" Carlisle asked. The two siblings exchanged looks with one another before Emma nodded her head slightly. Jasper turned his head to look at Carlisle.
"It'll give us the numbers. Newborns won't even know they exist. It'll give us an edge."
"We'll need to coordinate." Carlisle says, standing up straight.
"Carlisle, they're going to get hurt." Bella said, standing up as well.
"We'll need some training." Carlisle says. "Fighting newborns requires knowledge that Emma and Jasper have. You're welcome to join us."
"Alright." Jacob nodded, stepping closer to the oldest vampire. "Name the time and place."
"Jake, you don't know what you're getting yourself into." Bella begged. Emma rolled her eyes at the brunette.
"Bella, this is what we do. You should be happy, look at us, we're working together. You are the one who wanted us to get along, remember?" Jacob responded before he and the two other wolves left.
Emma sighed before looking up at her brother. "This is why I wish I could get drunk." And with that, the blonde left the room as well.
