Hey guys! Recently it was one of my favorite holidays, Independence Day!!! Now, I don't like when people call it the Fourth of July because I already know what freaking day it is!! Lol.

The Fourth of July, Independence Day, was the day America gained it's independence- our freedom- from the British. It's a time when we are supposed to remember the risk that we took in signing that Declaration of Independence. Fireworks represent the battles in my eyes. The explosions of what so many people had to go through.

Okay I'm done.

Anyway.

I know what you're thinking.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MAKING A NEW STORY WHEN YOU HAVE LISTEN TO YOUR HEART AND RBH!!

Well let me explain.

I was driving to Long Island, New York for a family reunion/ Fourth of July party and I was reading Twilight for part of the 3-hour drive.

I was reading one of my favorite parts, the part when Edward saves Bella from the van trying to crunch her. My mom randomly shouted, "Look a Jeep Wrangler." I stopped reading and saw the exact four door silver Jeep Wrangler that Emmett drives and after squeaking and asking her to buy it from me, I went back to reading.

What if Alice had the vision a couple seconds earlier? What if Rosalie somehow convinced Edward that he shouldn't get involved? What if Emmett, feeling Rosalie doesn't love him anymore, acts instead?

What if Emmett saved Bella from the van?

Even with Edward and Bella's magical meeting from earlier, how will Bella handle Emmett's rescue?

Random. Yes.

Here we go.

Edward POV

I was staring at Bella as she walked towards her rusty old truck. Our conversation from before had somehow had me infatuated with her. She truly was beautiful. Seeing her had me, for the first time in a long time, looking at other's faces. Strange, I know. I actually noticed people's imperfections and was fascinated with them Bella stared at me from across the lot with a mix of confusion and conflict in her eyes. It was fascinating.

Suddenly, Alice gasped and my mind automatically went to hers.

A car pulling out made a large blue van the belonged to an annoying male, Tyler Crowley (I think that's his last name. Oh well.) Peel out of the way. The van hit a patch of black ice and whipped towards an absolute frozen Bella.

I gasped and turned to Alice. She looked terrified.

"When?" I gasped out- constantly thinking- Not her.

"A couple seconds. Edward! Run and save her!" Alice hated the death of any human so I turned and started to walk quickly towards her. A hand on my shoulder made me freeze. My head turned and my eyes raked up the flawless arm, to her blood red sleeves, to her exposed neck, her perfect lips, golden eyes, brilliant blonde hair, and her concerned features.

When on Earth did Rosalie Hale become so beautiful? I was frozen. It was as if I looked at her for the very first time. How had I ignored her? Had I truly not noticed anyone before I met Bella? Had Isabella Swan opened my eyes to something more?

"Edward, don't!" She begged. I stared at her. Her touch was rippling an ancient and long forgotten pulse throughout me. "Don't ruin everything that we have built for nothing but a human girl. I know you may like her-" I could see how much this hurt her. How had I never noticed? "- But…please." Never before had I seen her so vulnerable.

I knew it. A voice broke sadly. Never had his voice been so sad. It hurt my heart but there was no longer anything I could do. I couldn't make myself feel sorry as he started walking to the other end of the lot, where the forest reached out. He would be running home.

We all alerted to a screeching noise and turned as a large blue van spun on the ice. "I'm sorry Alice."

I smiled faintly.

Thank you Bella Swan. I thought as I waited for the van to hit her. A flash of white didn't register to me.

Emmett POV

I watched Edward as he stared- like a creepy stalker might I add- at the beautiful Bella Swan. She really was beautiful. Chocolate brown eyes and mahogany hair. Bella stared back at her and I was about to break the awkward silence when Alice gasped.

A look of pure horror fixed on both of their faces.

"When?" He gasped out. I growled. I hated when they did this. They never told us what was going on.

"A couple seconds. Edward! Run and save her!" Alice begged. She looked so worried. I looked at Rosalie in time to see her having an inner conflict with herself. She looked at me with an apologetic smile and stepped towards Edward. I felt our separation become permanent. We had been falling out of love for years; this was the final step I assumed. She grabbed him and he stared at her like…a blind man looking at the sun for the first time. (LOL! Wait. How can I laugh? Emmett is hurting! It's okay! I'll love you!!)

"Edward, don't!" She begged. "Don't ruin everything that we have built for nothing but a human girl. I know you may like her-" The pain was evident in her voice. She was no longer hiding her feelings. She didn't love me and that made my frozen heart ache in agony."- But…please." She was never this vulnerable with me and I knew I lost her. The look in Edward's eyes said he felt something towards her.

I knew it. Was the only thing I could think. I felt so hurt. I shook my head and started walking towards the other end of the lot where I could run in the forest. Much more than half way there I turned to a screeching noise as the blue van spun on the ice.

"I'm sorry Alice." I turned around and saw he had a faint smile of his lips as he watched the van.

He was going to let her die! Bastard! Her eyes were so terrified and she looked too frozen to move.

Without thinking I ran to Bella. I was close enough that I didn't have to run vampire speed but I did push myself towards Bella and managed to lunge at her just as the van was a couple inches from hitting her.

Like an old movie I pulled her to me and tumbled out of the way. We rolled on the ground and I covered her with my body when the shrapnel exploded from the van. Her warmth was so inviting and it reminded me not to crush her with my weight.

Her heart was crashing out of her chest and she was breathing heavily.

"Bella?" I asked when she didn't speak. She tilted her head and locked her eyes with mine. We were lying on our sides with her safe from the metal since I was much larger than her petite little form. My arms were around her waist and head- tucking her towards me to prevent any damage. People started to form around us and I pulled away, just noticing her intoxicating scent.

Though it wasn't as strong as that human I wrongfully killed a long time ago, it was the most delicious scent I had ever smelled. It was truly like she had flowers in her blood.

"Bella?" I repeated. She was shaking violently when she noticed the destroyed van behind me. Her truck was still in its old classic condition. Only a large dent.

"What…" She tried but couldn't find the right words. "Emmett?" She breathed out. I nodded. She tried to get up but I put a hand on her shoulder and held her down.

"Stay still. Your arm might be sprained or something." I said genuinely concerned.

"Ow…" She sighed holding her arm and squeezing her eyes shut. After a deep breath she opened her eyes and looked over me. "Are you alright?" She asked making me laugh once.

"You almost just got hit by a huge van and you're worried that I'm hurt?" I asked with a large smile. She blushed and I was entranced by the color. I shook that idea out of my head.

"Of course." She said sarcastically. I heard the ambulance coming and I looked around, realizing we had a crowd.

Mike Newton looked terrified as he stared at Bella. I wanted to punch him- don't know why but I did.

"Tyler!" Bella shouted suddenly. Everyone turned to the van and I saw an air bag was deployed.

When the ambulance and Jaws of Life came Tyler looked pretty bad. His mouth was bleeding and he had some serious cuts on hi forehead.

"He'll be fine." I said as I lifted her onto the stretcher- despite the medics' protest. I knew what she hurt. As they loaded her in I noticed the stunned faces of my family. Alice looked very grateful and I winked at her. Jasper looked angry but hugged Alice to her- soothing what she had almost seen. Edward and Rosalie looked furious and I simply shrugged. Deliberately I thought, I wasn't going to have her die because you want to fuck my ex-wife. The thought of ex wife hurt slightly. Edward looked livid and I smiled innocently and batted my lashes before jumping in the van. I was able to ride up front.

I explained what happened to the driver while thinking of the day when Rosalie saved me.

I thought I loved her. But maybe, I was simply so thankful for my rescue I deluded myself into thinking that. I knew what Rosalie was supposed to be for Edward and it hurt to know that they would finally get to be together.

What I hated was that he was willing to watch a young girl die.

When we got to the hospital I walked straight to Carlisle's office.

"Emmett?" He questioned when I walked in. I smiled faintly at the man who really was my father… He looked wary and I couldn't blame him. Last time I visited him with this look was when I hurt those people.

"I didn't kill anyone." I said raising my hands in surrender. He let out a sigh in relief. "Remember that girl that had Edward running away?" I asked. He nodded. "She almost got hit by a van and I saved her." His eyes widened.

"Why didn't Edward save her?" He asked putting on his lab coat.

"He…and…Rosalie…" I tried to say looking down. He touched my shoulder and I looked up at him.

"I will speak with them and find out myself. You don't have to tell me you are in pain for me to know." I nodded. "Thank you for saving her life by the way." He said as I followed him out of the room. "I need to get information." He said walking away. I sat outside her room, feeling it wasn't my place to go in and put my head in my hands.

Had I ruined everything?

Bella POV (Rewind a bit.)

Staring at Edward. I felt so stupid because I was staring at Edward from across the parking lot. He was staring back, which made my heart race. He suddenly tensed and after a moment turned to the pixie one, Alice.

They were all so beautiful. Edward took a step towards me- a worried look on his face when the beautiful one, Rosalie, reached out a grabbed him.

I swear I could feel any connection we had snap. My heart sank. I thought she was with the big and cute one, Emmett but the way they looked at each other proved me wrong. Emmett looked heartbroken as he walked my way. Most likely walking to the forest where he could be alone. I wanted to comfort him but felt it wasn't my place.

A screeching noise made me turn and I froze at the sight.

A large blue van was hurtling towards me.

Every detail was suddenly strikingly clear instead of slow motion. I noticed all the kids frozen as they watched, I saw Alice Cullen looking so terrified and heartbroken and I didn't understand why.

I saw Edward Cullen staring at me in stunned shock. But I saw a faint smile play on his lips and felt furious.

The last thing I noticed was Emmett Cullen running towards me, possibly to his own death if he tried to save me.

He lunged at me and I closed my eyes as we flew away. I landed hard on my side and I felt him curl around me to protect me from whatever I was too terrified to look at.

One arm was around my waist and the other was around my head, tucking me to him.

I never felt safer than I did in that moment.

Everything fell silent and for a moment I thought I was dead.

"Bella?" He asked. I titled my head and locked to his beautiful honey gold eyes. Much more beautiful than Edward's by far. He pulled away suddenly and I noticed the large crowd of concerned people around us.

"Bella?" He repeated. I was shaking violently when I saw the shattered van and a dent in my truck that could've been me. I could've died! I could've been crushed.

"What…" I couldn't make a coherent sentence. It was then I noticed just who saved me. "Emmett?" I breathed out. He nodded. I tried to get up but he put a stern and cold hand on my shoulder- holding me down.

"Stay still. Your arm might be sprained or something." His voice was so concerned that I had to listen. Then my arm started to throb.

"Ow…" I sighed holding my arm in pain. I scrunched my eyes shut. Pushing the pain aside I opened my eyes and let them rake over his perfect and muscular body. Not a scratch. "Are you alright?" He laughed loudly once.

"You almost just got hit by a huge van and you're worried that I'm hurt?" He asked with a beautiful smile. He had perfect dimples that were so cute. I blushed and he stared at me before lightly shaking his head.

"Of course." I said sarcastically. I heard the ambulance coming and he turned around, realizing the crowd. Suddenly I remembered what happened.

"Tyler!" I shouted terrified.

When the ambulance and Jaws of Life came Tyler looked pretty bad. His mouth was bleeding and he had some serious cuts on his forehead.

"He'll be fine." He assure me as he lifted me carefully onto the stretcher. I felt so safe in his arms. The bastard got to ride in the front and I fell asleep on the way.

I woke up in a hospital bed and my arm was wrapped in medical tape.

"Miss Isabella." A voice said walking in. My mouth parted at the sight. He had perfect blonde hair, was tall, and had perfect features. He looked like a movie star.

"Just Bella." I said to the man I was sure to be Emmett's father.

"Well Bella. My name is Carlisle Cullen. How are you feeling?" He asked checking over my heart monitor and checking my reflexes.

"Fantastic." I said a little too quickly. He smiled and shined the light in my eyes.

"Well, for someone who almost died you look great. You're very lucky." He said with a grin writing something down on his pad.

"I'm lucky Emmett was there." I clarified. He smiled down on me.

"Yes. You don't understand how very lucky you were today." And with that he went to get a nurse.

I was lucky.

Lucky that Emmett saved me.

Love it? Hate it? Yes? No? Maybe so? Lol. Again random idea. I don't know if I'll continue it or not.

BUT STILL REVIEW!
