Life is unfair.

Everything else is just a mild inconvenience

Chapter One: Heartless Is A Strong, But Accurate Word

(Emmett's POV)

I wrapped my arms around her waist as I walked up behind her. She was waiting in line to get into the concert and I had gone to use the bathroom. She jumped when she felt me coil my arms around her, bur calmed down when I kissed her neck. The others would be here soon so I need to take advantage of this time alone. My girlfriend giggled and turned around in my arms. She planted a gentle kiss on my cheek and then moved on to my lips. For a second, I forgot that we were in a public place and I threw myself into the kiss. I didn't think I could ever be happier than when I was with this girl. Rosalie Hale is the best girl I've ever been with. She's beautiful, loving, and one of the most amazing people I have ever met. We're seniors in High School this year, and I fully intended on proposing to her during this summer, before college.

We only pulled away when someone behind us cleared his or her throat very loudly. I turned to look the person down who'd done it but it was my friends standing there. All of their eyebrows raised and smirks playing on their lips. I gave all of them the finger. Most of them just shrugged and got into line behind us, but Jasper, Rosalie's twin brother, returned the finger. Jasper wrapped an arm around his girlfriend, Alice's, shoulder. She was so much shorter than him that it took a little more effort. He kissed her short, spiky black hair. Edward looked down and smiled at Alice, his sister's, grinning face and then put an arm around my little sister, Bella.

I couldn't help but smile at her glowing face. My little sister was only a junior, but she had had a terrible experience when it came to relationships. Her last boyfriend, Jacob Black…I gritted my teeth. I can't even think that creep's name, let alone think about what he did to my baby sister. Let me just say, I had begged Bella to let me kill him, but she didn't want me to sink to the jackass' level, so I had to settle with a report to the police. My father had been furious; he had trusted that scum because he's the son of one of his old friends.

Because of the distress…Black…gritting my teeth…caused my sister, I hadn't exactly welcomed Edward in as a bigger part of her life with grace at first. She always told me I was the world's most protective brother, and that she loved me for it. I took my job seriously. At first I wouldn't let Edward anywhere near her without someone else in the same room. He and I had grown up together, and he was like my brother, but letting him anywhere near Bella after he took a liking to her was hard.

But, after a couple months, Edward proved that he was worthy of my baby sister's heart. We had been at the theatre and Bella had stepped out to go to the bathroom. The next thing I knew, Bella was screaming bloody murder. Edward, Jasper and I were up in the next second and out the door. The entry was empty, except for my little sister curled up in a corner and the huge, dark form of Jacob Black looming over her. He was trying to pull her to her feet. Without any thought at all, I lunged forward, but stopped when I saw Edward already between the monster and Bella. He drew his fist back and landed a punch square in Jacob's nose. A loud snap echoed through the theatre and Jacob gnashed his teeth and growled in pain.

I took advantage of that distraction and put the idiot in a headlock. Alice had already been screeching to an operator from the police department. While Jasper and I restrained Jacob, Edward gathered a sobbing Bella in his arms and got her over to Rosalie and Alice. He stayed with her the whole time the police were questioning all of us, comforting her. Ever since that day, I've been ever so grateful for Edward's presence in Bella's life.

The line was moving faster now, and we were into the stadium within ten minutes of our friend's arrival. The wait for Linkin Park to come on wasn't so bad. I spent most of the time kissing my girl and ignoring the fact that my friends were whispering pointedly about us. Then when the band came on, Jasper punched me in the shoulder to resurface my attention.

They opened with Numb and went through Leave Out All The Rest, In The End, Bleed It Out, Points of Authority, Pushing Me Away, Lying From You, Paper cut, Runaway and finished with Valentine's Day. We all had a great time! We left the concert laughing and messing around. It was cold outside, and Rosalie had forgotten her jacket in the car, so I gave her mine to wear. She huddled in it and hugged me tightly.

The night had been one of the best nights ever. It was a tradition of ours. Every year before Christmas break, we all came to a concert. Little did I know that life was about to take on a darker light for me.

I loved the Cullen's Christmas parties every year! You wouldn't think a guy would really be into the whole mistletoe thing, but when you're under it with Rose almost the whole night you kind of learn to enjoy it. Present time was quite enjoyable too. I got my girl a diamond necklace she had wanted. She got me a David Beckham replica jersey. Edward got Bella an original copy of Pride and Prejudice, while he received a large, important looking medical book. How anyone could be happy receiving a medical text beat me, but he was an aspiring doctor, so, whatever. Alice got a pretty little gold locket and she gave Jasper a history book about the many wars of history.

We, of course, weren't the only ones from our school there. And those weren't the only things we got, but they tended to be the most precious. Almost the whole junior and senior classes came to the Cullen place for the party. All of our friends were in attendance and anyone they wanted to bring. The place was outrageously crowded with kissing, dancing and laughing teenagers.

After our main group was done unwrapping our presents, Edward pulled Bella over to the dance with Alice pulling Jasper right behind them. Rosalie excused herself to use the bathroom, and I just looked around, smiling at all the happy faces. As I looked around, I noticed Edward's cousin, Selene Doyle, sitting alone, reading. Usually she hung out with us, but she seemed really engrossed in her book. I glanced at the title, and chuckled. She was just like Bella, reading the same books over and over again. She was reading The Host for what must have been the millionth time. I wondered over to her and pulled out a small package I had gotten for her. She had gotten her gift from the rest before the party.

"Hey Selene! Merry Christmas!" I said, with a big grin. She looked up, startled and smiled when she recognized me. She and I had always been pretty close. Selene was like another sister to me. She kept to her self and only hung out with us, it seemed, when Rosalie wasn't around. They had never really gotten along, what with Selene being the quiet, shy, captain of the soccer team and Rose being the top, most sought after girl at our school.

"Hey Em! Merry Christmas to you too!" She smiled even more and blushed when I handed her the small present. "Aw! You didn't have to get me anything!" But she pulled a box out from behind the chair and handed it to me before she ripped into her present.

I laughed as I took the box from her. "I thought your books weren't gathering enough dust. Now you can get some new ones so that your old ones have a chance to gather that dust." I said as I unwrapped my box. My eyes grew wide as I pulled out the item it contained. In my hand, I held the best movie in the world! The Dark Knight! She knew I was a sucker for Batman, and here was that knowledge dangled in front of me.

"Thank you, Sel!" I gave her a tight hug that she returned.

"No problem Em. Thanks for the…" She trailed off as she looked at the amount for the first time. "One hundred dollars?! To Borders?! Oh My God! Emmett Swan, that is outrageous!" She said in shock. But she gave me a really tight hug in thanks.

"It was nothing, really." She kissed my cheek and got up to go put her card safely in her room (Did I forget to mention that her Aunt Esme and Uncle Carlisle were the ones raising her?). Rosalie had been gone for that whole time, which was about ten minutes. I wondered what was taking so long. I got up and walked to the second story to find my girlfriend, and see if she was okay.

The bathroom was at the other end of the hall. As I made my way that way, I heard something coming from one of the bedrooms. That was odd; I had seen all the Cullens down stairs before I came up. My damn curiosity getting the best of me, I followed the noise. It was coming from behind one of the closed guest room doors. Something told me I didn't want to open that door, but like I said, my curiosity got the best of me. Never did I realize that I would learn the meaning behind the saying; "curiosity killed the cat".

I opened the door, and just about toppled over in shock as I took in the sight in front of me. On the bed, fully clothed, was Rosalie wrapped up in the arms of Connor Denali. They were lip locked and didn't even notice I'd come in. I sucked in a harsh breath and was about to say something, when I heard something behind me. I turned and saw Alice.

She took one look at my face and hers distorted with worry. "What is it Emmett?" she instinctively whispered. I moved to the side for her to see what Rosalie was doing. They still hadn't seen or heard us. They were too absorbed in their own world to notice anything out of the ordinary. Alice Cullen changed that though.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale!" my pixie friend screeched in a disgusted, and reproachful voice. "How could you?"

Rosalie and Connor jumped a mile apart and looked over. That's all I saw or heard before I was running down the stairs and out the front door, slamming it behind me. Bella, Edward, Jasper and Selene had all seen me charge out and rushed after me. I didn't care though. I felt so detached from myself. Never in my wildest nightmares would I have ever thought that Rosalie would cheat on me! We'd been together since we started high school four years ago- and with Connor Denali of all people! Connor was Tanya's, the school bitch's, brother! What the hell is she thinking?

I was down the driveway about a quarter mile when I stopped. I fell to my knees and just sat there with my head in my hands. I hadn't cried since I was ten when my mom had died of cancer. But now the warm tears streamed down my face. My heart seemed to tear in two and the pain was unbearable. I didn't hear their footsteps, but my sister fell to her knees in front of me with Edward and Jasper on either side of me.

"Em! Emmett, what's wrong?" she asked, rubbing my shoulders. I just shook my head. I couldn't answer yet. It hurt too much, and if I were to say it out loud, it would only be reinforcing the fact that it was true.

Bella wrapped me in a hug and kept rubbing my shoulders. "What ever it is, it'll be okay brother. Emmett…Em, whenever you're ready to tell us, we're here."

The rain had started falling; softly at first, but then started pounding down on us. My shoulders shook with my silent sobs. This was definitely the worse Christmas ever!
