There all along.
(This story picks up in New Moon.) (FYI I am not Stephanie Meyer I don't own Twilight I just like to twist it to my own desires.)
Chapter one.
"I don't want you." Those words rang in my head over and over as I stared out my bedroom window. Edward was gone, his family following him leaving me alone. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces. Edwards leaving hurt, but not for the reasons that most people thought. He had pursued me relentlessly and I has given in trying to force myself to love him. The most painful part of our breakup was the loss of the rest of the family. I loved them as if they were my own blood. The thought of never seeing them again was enough to cause me to double over in pain. Break ups happen all the time. That was just a part of life, but the loss of a loved one that disappeared as if they had been erased from the world. To not see them each day at school or in town just to see they were alright was a harsh reality. I had tried so hard to love Edward, to make myself feel the things for him that I should have. He was a dear friend, nothing more. I have pushed him to kiss me to touch me trying to force the fire in my veins to ignite, and nothing ever rumbled to life.
He was just not the kind of man I was attracted to. I preferred a talk dark and handsome type. I liked a rough and tumble kind of guy, and well Edward was more into his hair and his clothes than I was. That always made me feel rumbled and unattractive next to him. Give me a pair of comfy jeans any day. Huffing I ran my fingers through my tangled hair. Twirling a lock around my finger in disgust, I needed a shower. Sitting her dwelling wouldn't bring them back, and I wasn't the type of girl to cry in my cheerios. Frustrated with myself I decided I needed a distraction, and I knew exactly where to find that. But first I needed a shower.
Emmett Pov:
"What the hell is she doing?" I watched with my mouth gapping open as Bella pulled up to a house and handed money over to some punk teenager who proceeded to drool, and stare at her. She didn't seem to notice his attention as she smiled wide. She looked excited about something, as the teen called into his house and three other boys came outside. When they started loading up some broke ass motorcycles onto the back of her truck I rolled my eyes, "Seriously Bella. Those things are junk." I talked to her even though she had no idea I was even in town. I had stayed behind when the others had left. No matter what my idiot of a brother thought this human girl was intertwined in out lives, and in order to protect her we needed to be here. What if we all left and Victoria showed up how would she be safe from that. Edward ignored my protests sure that Victoria would come for him, and that we were more of a threat given Jasper's reaction at her birthday party. Poor Jasp he really was tore up about going after her. The fact was though the finger cut had been tempting she smelled delicious but when Edward had tossed her she had crashed into the glass. All that blood in a room full of vampires, it was a damn good thing we all loved her as much as we did. She never would have made it to her next birthday otherwise.
Rose had thrown a hissy fit when I didn't follow her skirt tails like I normally did. She could be a major pain in the ass, I mean yeah she was my maker and saved my life that day. But damn we hadn't been a couple or anything, except during my newborn days when I was all about blood and any other urges that took over my better judgment. Watching Bella jump into her truck I couldn't help the grin on my face knowing I had made the right choice since this girl was determined to be Evil Kenevil.
Bella Pov:
"Stop laughing and just tell me which ones the clutch again you ass." I sat straddling my two-wheeled death machine as my best friend Jacob Black roared with laughter. "Seriously Bella I don't know how you talked me into this. You need a padded room for safety. And for the hundredth time clutch, brake, gas. Maybe we should get you colored stickers to label them or something…. But then again you would need to remember what those were too." I slugged him in the arm only managing to pop my knuckles in the process. "Yeah, you're a real comedian Jake. Okay I am going for it this time." I revved the gas and popped the clutch I was going to get it this time. I jerked forward with a start and spit sputter killed the engine. "Damnit!" I hissed the word as Jacob again bent over with laughter and my heart raced with nerves. "Oh shut up you douche." I slammed my foot down on the kick start which did get Jake to stop laughing as he watched me with worry. The bike roared to life and gravel flew into the air as I raved forward. "Wooo Hooo!" I shouted my excitement as the wind whipped through my hair. This was exactly what I needed a little living in my life. The trees blurred as I raced forward. A sudden flash of white caught my attention and stupidly I turned my focus to see what it was. That spilt second was all it too for me to hit a dip in the loose gravel as the bike gave a jerk and I knew I was going over the handle bars. I clenched my eyes tight as the road rushed up to meet me this was going to really hurt.
Emmett Pov:
I had been watching Bella banter back and forth with her friend as they laughed and insulted each other it made me think of all the times we had done the same thing together. When Bella stalled the bike I watched her face grow determined. Her eyebrows grew stern as she crunched up her little nose and slammed her foot down on the kick start when she shot forward with a jerk I jumped slightly. I heard the nervous giggle that broke her lips and gave chase keeping pace with her from inside the trees out of her line of sight. When she suddenly turned her head and looked straight at me I froze a deer in the headlights. In the next second I found myself jealous of Edward for the first time ever. She lost control of the bike and started over the handle bars and I kicked my legs into high gear. Damnit why wasn't I as fast as my brother.
Bella Pov:
As I slammed into the ground the impact knocked the breath from my body. I waited for the pain my eyes still clenched afraid to see the damage the gravel had done to my exposed flesh. When seconds ticked by and no pain registered I thought perhaps I was in shock so I slowly cracked my eyes open. Shock held me stiff as I took in the strong muscular body that held me on the ground. The sun shining on flesh that sparkled. Sparkled? Vampire! As a scream started in my chest I scrambled away spinning on my feet to see the threat. "Emmett?" Sitting on the ground covered in dust was a smiling face that I never thought to see again. "Sup Belly Bear." His deep baritone warmed me more than the rare sunshine of the day. "Oh my god Emmett1" I shouted the words throwing myself into his arms. He stood effortlessly with me in his arms spinning me with his hands on my waist. Then he pulled me flush against his hard chest and nuzzled my neck. Two seconds later it was clear Emmett hadn't changed as he pinched my ass. I jumped back blushing and slapped his arm. He just roared with laughter as he started dusting off his clothing. I saw Jake walking up and smiled at him until he walked right up to Emmett and punched him straight in the nose.
Emmett Pov:
As Bella stood before me her blood rushing to her face her scent calling me I didn't notice the boy walk up until his fist connected with my face. That little shit actually packed a decent punch too as my nose throbbed. Growling I turned on the kid about to pounce as Bella jumped in front of him. "Emmett, please he's my best friend." Her eyes begged for his forgiveness and I backed off although I was not pleased with the fact that she had a new best friend and I had been replaced. Looking at the boy I realized who it was. "Jacob Black." His eyes snapped to mine and he winced at the sound of my voice. The kid was close to his change I could smell it on him, the scent of wet dog. Not wanting the kid to change anywhere near Bell's I stepped back a few steps to give the kid some room. Some air not clouded with the smell of vampire. It was clear Bella cared for the boy, and we did have a truce with his clan so I couldn't really afford to kill him. Although killing him seemed like a good idea as I watched Bella put her hands on the boys chest and look into his eyes with affection as she spoke to him in a soothing tone.
Bella Pov:
"Shhh, Jake its okay really. Em is a friend of mine.' I smoothed Jake's hair from his face as he stood trembling with anger. I had never seen Jacob get mad before and it was something I hoped to never see again as his veins bulged and I notices how large he was under my hands. "Bella I really think I need to head home. I am not feeling so hot right now." "Yeah Jake its fine you are feeling kind of feverish go home, and call me later. Emmett can help me with the bike. Jacob nodded his head once before he jumped on his own bike and sped away. On his way past Emmett I watched the glare they gave each other. "What is that all about?" I asked Emmett. "I think you will have to ask you new best friend." Emmett said before lifting my bike and walking towards my truck. I followed along trying to keep up with his long legs, "What are you doing here Emmett? I didn't think I would ever see any of you again." "Honestly.. Well I never left."
His words made me slow down as he kept walking. "You what?" "I'm sorry Bella when the others left I couldn't bring myself to go with them. I know that they felt you would be safer if we weren't here but I didn't agree and I stayed to keep and eye on you."
Fyi I have a lot of this written already. I am really enjoying this story so far. I will post asap. Please keep in mind that I work a full time job, and I am a single mother so it might take me sometime. Hope you like. Review and let me know.
