For King and Country : Fight On, Fighter
Emmett Point Of View
Looking back at my life there were many moments I wish I could take back and change. I was born and raised in Gatlinburg, Tennessee until I turned 10. Then my family moved across country to a small town in Washington called Forks. I fought to stay in Tennessee. But once I got to Forks, I realized I was wrong. See, at the age of ten I met my soulmate Bella. My beautiful Bella. She has always been petite and slender, with long brown hair that you just need to play with. Brown eyes that you can read her innermost thoughts. Mom brought my sister Felicity and I to the playground by our new house. At that playground I met Bella.
Bella was with her Dad, Charlie, his friends and their children for a play date of sorts. I was amazed at the closeness of the kids involved. Even at 10, I could see the strength of these kids bonds. Bella was playing with a kid named Edward. They were attached at the hip. Looking back, I was jealous of him. They seemed to always be in step with each other. He moved and she moved. She went to fall and he would catch her. Which only happened on days that ended in Y. They were the cool kids of the playground that everyone followed. They knew each other since they were kids when he moved here. He was adopted by his Aunt Esme and Uncle Charlise when his parents died in a car accident in Chicago when he was two where he moved to Forks with them for a fresh start with their daughter Alice. Dr. Cullen became best friends with Chief Swan of the Forks Police Department and the rest is history as they say. Edward never really liked me. I guess he saw me as a threat. As he should have. I was her other best friend. The one she went to when there were problems with him. Which there were a lot over the years. He never appreciated her for the beautiful woman she is. He was controlling and manipulative, even as a child. I still have no idea how Charlie put up with it. But he did. Maybe he was blinded by Edward's Uncle. The money, power and status. I will never know. I lost all respect for the man over this.
Hell, even Jacob Black would have been a better option than Edward. He's two years younger than us, but has a better head on his shoulders. Yes his family was poor with his Dad Billy disabled and unable to work. But he never made Bella do anything that she didn't want. Unless it was necessary from the Dad's. Has manners, opened doors for her and treated her with respect without expecting anything from her in return. Because he is a man and a man is supposed to take care of any woman around him. Unlike Edward. Who expected a standing O for every little thing he did that as a man he should do for her. What kind of man is that? Not the kind my Mama raised.
Edward and Bella were elementary school sweethearts. Off and on. Their relationship was a roller coaster of epicness. Not in a good way. He kept cheating on her and she kept taking him back. While I didn't like him, I maintained a friendship with him. A "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." relationship. I was the one who kept Bella informed, hoping she would leave him. Sadly, she would but it was always temporary. She didn't feel she deserved better. Which made me want to kill our beloved police chief and his useless wife. They were married on paper and only kept the appearances for the towns foke. But they each had others and had separate rooms. For Bella this was normal. But Edward expected her to be faithful. Dumb ass! If they broke up she wasn't allowed to see anyone else. He could see anyone he wanted. She took her rules seriously. No matter how many times me, my Mama Debbie, Jacob, Embry, Billy, or anyone else went to the police or Charlie, we were told to leave it alone. They are just kids in love and would sort it out. Edward left bruises on her from the fights they had about his controlling behavior more than ten times. While Bella has a cell phone, I don't trust either Charlie or Edward to not have it tracked. I gave her a simple phone incase she needed to escape. I have offered my house. I hope she takes me up on it. The Black's also have offered a place for her to stay. While I am not a fan of that, she might be safer. The La Push Reservation is another country. Charlie would have no say there.
One of the worst ones was at the school in front of everyone was today. He grabbed Bella's arm, throwing her against the wall. Sadly, Mike Newton, Jasper Whitlock and I got suspended for causing a riot while we were trying to break them apart. Almost arrested. What happened to Edward? Not a damn thing. He was free to abuse her as he wished. Then Charlie was okay with it. She must have done something to piss him off because he is a stand up guy. What did she do? Not ignore a male teacher when said teacher asked her to answer a question in class. Edward made it sound like Mike, Jasper and I were out to get him. Mr Banner was on our side but it did no good. Thankfully it didn't hurt my chances to getting in the Military. If I couldn't get Bella to see the good in me I might as well leave this town and make a name for myself. Emmett Dale McCarty will be remembered for something good. Even if it's not loving Isabella Marie Swan. So I will fight on, fighter.
