Chapter 2 Sleep/Store

"So would you like to hang around?" I asked, gesturing to the rocking chair in the corner of my room.

Edwards chair.

No, not any more.

Emmett grinned and stood "Don't mind if I do." He pulled the chair close to my bed and sat.

I climbed under the covers and right before settling down completely I turned to Emmett "Oh Emmett?"

"Yes Bell?"

"I talk in my sleep." I blushed and lay down, closing my eyes.

The last thing I heard was a faint sound of his lovely laughter.

And then, I slept.

Completely and truly I slept. I hadn't had a long and uninterrupted sleep in…months to be honest.

I woke up Saturday morning and opened my eyes slowly. I saw the glowing red numbers on my alarm clock.

10:09 am.

Ten hours of complete perfect sleep. Wow. I sat up and began to stretch and then saw Emmett watching me.

"Emmett! You stayed! You're real!" I squeaked loudly. I was convinced it was only a wonderful dream but it had really happened!

He grinned and ran his hands over his chest and face "Well I suppose I'm real…" He said sarcastically.

"I don't know…I could just be crazy, maybe I finally lost it…" I said slowly.

Emmett smiled widely. "I promise I'm real!"

I got up and walked over slowly, afraid he would disappear. I got close enough and reached out to touch his cool, stone arm.

Yes!

He was real! He smiled softly, his eyes twinkling.

"Told you." He whispered. I blushed, not knowing why.

Emmett stood "So, what were you planning for today? Shopping? Party? Binge drinking with friends?" I laughed, just as much at the first two as the third.

"Not exactly...on weekends I normally try to find something to clean, then do home work, then-" I allowed my voice to trail off. I wasn't sure if I should say it.

He looked at me, expectant. "ThenIlistentomusicandcry." I blurted out, blushing and looking away.

A pained expression crossed Emmett's features and he pulled me into a hug. "Oh Bella, what did he do to you...What did we all do to you?" His perfect voice was filled with sadness.

"It's not your fault Emmett. It just... Happened." I said into his chest..

He pulled away and held me at arms length, looking into my eyes with his topaz ones. "It is my fault! I just let them all leave you! Not only that, I went with them! I'm so sorry..." He said, sincerely.

"Emmett, you came back. Seeing you, knowing you still care...That really helps." My voice cracked as I tried to hold back the hot tears about to brim over once again.

Emmett could obviously see I was upset and had no idea what to do about it. He stood straighter and said "Get dressed. We'll go some where." He smiled.

"Oook..." I said. He didn't move until I gave him a pointed look.

"Oh! Yeah um...right, I'll wait down stairs I think." He said, smiling and giving me a peck on the cheek. And then he was gone.

I rushed to get my bag and then was off to the bathroom. For once my hair wasn't horrible, thank goodness, so I was ready in only a few minutes.

I ran back to my bedroom and looked for something to wear. I settled on a blue criss cross tank top, one of my favorites. It was a little low cut so I grabbed a light jacket to wear later when it got colder. I pulled on my favorite pair of light blue jeans and grabbed some flip flops. It wasn't my usual Forks attire, but whatever. I glanced in the mirror and realized I was smiling...hadn't done that in a while.

I ran down stairs. I could hear the TV on so I walked to the living room to see the giant Emmett taking up almost half the couch.

"Ready!" I smiled a real smile for the first time in so long. He turned off the TV and looked up, eyes sparkling.

He stood "So, where shall we go then?"

I frowned. "Um...I have no idea." There was no where to go in Forks. No where good any way. The movies only made me sad and lonely recently. And every where else was boring. I did need some things from the store, but I wasn't going to make Emmett my driver/errand boy.

"Oh c'mon Bell, there must be some place! Do you have any errands to run?"

I stood, stunned. He was psychic. Gosh. "Well-I do need to go to the store, bu-" He interrupted me.

"Let's go."

He ran to the door, grabbing my waist on the way. We walked outside and I saw he didn't bring a car. So we moved to my truck and Emmett put his hand out.

"What?" I asked, knowing what he wanted. He was worse then Edwa- No. Not thinking about him.

"Keys." He demanded softly.

"Oh fine, whatever." I shook my head and dropped the keys into his hand, rolling my eyes. He ran and opened the passenger door for me. I jumped in. A half a second later, he was in and starting the engine. I buckled myself into the passenger seat.

He glanced at me "Are you serious?" He smirked.

"Oh...yeah...vampire." I unbuckled and he gestured for me to move to the middle seat. I obliged and he put his arm around my shoulders. I snuggled against my brother's chest. My soul didn't feel empty right now.

My conclusion? Vampires rock.
