Emmett POV

I had always thought myself happy with life but in reality I was just content. But I guess if I was someone looking in I would think my life to be perfect too. Truth is I was stuck in a never ending cycle of Boring. I just said nothing because I knew that my Rose was finally happy with how her life turned. Sure she wasn't human and was capable of having children, but she had a family who all cared and a husband who would move the moon and stars for her. And that was pretty damn good.

The day I first started to notice how unfulfilling my life had become was on 7th of September, 2005. Now I'll be honest it wasn't one of those moments where I suddenly look around at my life and said, "What the hell am I doing?" No I was hunting in Canada with Jasper and Edward, he had begun to mope again about how much of a soulless monster he was so Jas and I decided it was time to go out. Just us men, unfortunately Carlisle couldn't get any time off at the hospital he was working at in the small town, Chestnut, in Connecticut where we were currently living. Having heard there was a bear problem on the news we decided to come out take care of it.

I had been goading bear, playing with it to make it believe it had a chance at beating me, luring it into a false sense that he was the predator and I the prey.
Some how I got to the edge of the woods near the village where hundreds of humans resided. Quickly putting an end to the bear I went to make my way back to the guys when I stopped at the sound of applause. I turned to see that I had come close to the edge of the woods and a high school was planted 15 ft away.

Families were filing out of the gym, all embracing and congratulating the young adults on the accomplishment of finishing the hell they call High School. I couldn't help but stare at all these people boasting about what colleges they got accepted into and the parents praising their children on a job well done. They got to move on with they're lives. The chance to grow into smart and successful men and women.

And I was... Frozen. Standing on the sidelines looking in.

A few hours later we running back to our home. We had gotten our fill, the blood sloshing around in my stomach was proof of that. Leaving just enough bears to not rise suspension. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake the feeling of longing. I don't remember when the feeling started but I know I was ready for it to go away. That aching seed buried in my chest was not welcome but no matter what I thought about it wouldn't go away.

"Maybe it's just the mating pull. You know being away from Rosalie." My mind reading brother murmurer. Even with the loud sound of wind rushing past my hears I heard him as if he'd been right next to me.

"Maybe." Was the only reply I felt like giving at the moment. I knew he was only trying to help me make sense of what I was feeling but to be honest I already knew what the real problem was. I was tired of having to repeat the same thing over and over again. I wanted what the humans had. A change, a goal, a new start.

"I don't think that's it Edward. This longing isn't the kind one has for love its for something else." Jasper quiet voice floats to my ears.

Being around a mind reader and empath while contemplating these feelings probably wasn't the best idea.

"What's bothering you Em? Do you want to talk about it?" Edward asked as we slowed down to a walk.

"Its just that, do you ever get the feeling that what your doing isn't enough?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Jasper said leaping into a boulder the size of a small cottage.

"I mean- " How could I explain something I didn't understand? "I mean were immortal and yet we're wasting our forever sitting in a classroom listening to teachers say shit we already know! I don't wanna do that anymore."

"Emmett we have no choice its better to fit in. Any other action would risk exposure." Edward reached over to pat my shoulder.

Jasper's reply didn't that much either. "Ed's right Em we have to lay low otherwise people will notice how different we are."

"People already notice." I grumbled." Making both my brothers laugh under they're breath.

"I just want something with my name on it. So even though they everyone can't see my face they'll know who created something wonderful. Like a company. Yeah, my own company." I breathed.

It was quiet for a few seconds before I heard Jasper speak.

"Then build one."

And so McCarthy Inc. came to life. After we had gotten home and showered of the stink of hunting. I asked Carlisle what he thought. Him and Esme praised the idea and encouraged me to do as I pleased. Rosalie was indifferent with a flick of her hair she stated how unnecessary it was to start a job when we had collected all the money we could ever need over the years. Alice of course was Alice. Happy as usual.

So here I was 3 years later with one of the most successful businesses in the country.

I had the perfect job, family, and partner.

I had the perfect life...Right?
