Ello my lovelies! Miss Pepper here! Let's get right onto it, shall we?

Bella POV

I spent about two hours just talking to Emmett—all the while not entirely sure if he was even listening to anything I said.

"And I remember once in middle school this ratty kid—Bobby Smith—asked me to dance with him at one of the school dances. You can guess how well that went." I rolled my eyes. "I stepped on his foot like thirty times before he got mad and stormed away from me. I think he thought I did it on purpose, even though I was just that bad at dancing." I laughed.

"Bella." I looked over to see Edward standing at the end of the hallway.

"Hi Edward. How was hunting?" I asked when I noticed his warm topaz eyes. He sighed.

"It was alright. Now why don't we get you home? Emmett's condition hasn't changed at all." I sighed and leaned my head back against the door.

"Well Emmett, I have to head home now. I think Charlie would freak if I got home even a minute late." I joked.

"Bella, stop. It isn't helping anything." Edward tried and I glared at him.

"But, I'm going to be back tomorrow. Charlie lets me have an extended curfew on the weekends now, did I tell you? I hope you come out of this soon Emmett. I really miss you." And then I pulled myself off the floor, groaning when blood rushed to the parts of my body that I was sitting on for too long. Edward immediately wrapped an arm around me and hustled me to the stairs, where Jasper was sitting.

"Hey, you know you could've joined in on our conversation." I said with a smile earning one back.

"It's fine, I was content about listening to your clumsy childhood." He teased which made me try and growl at him.

"Was there any change?" I asked curiously.

"Bella, I already told you—" I cut Edward off.

"Edward there might not have been a change in his thoughts, but maybe his emotions."

"There was when you first started talking. A subtle difference that if you weren't so in tuned with this power like I am, you probably would've missed it. And then right at the end. Your last sentence seemed to affect him though. There was a split second of longing, then back to being over powered with guilt." I nodded and couldn't help but feel a little accomplished that I did something useful.

Edward drove me home and we were silent for a couple of minutes.

"I'm sorry." He admitted causing me to look at him with wide eyes.

"What?" I questioned.

"I'm sorry about how I've been acting lately and how I reacted with this whole Emmett situation. I don't want to lose you and I've been doing a great job of messing things up." I smiled at his words.

"Thank you Edward. I really appreciate that. I love you." I said sliding over to kiss his cheek. He smiled that crooked grin.

"I love you too, love." Not wanting to ruin the moment, I decided that telling him about how calling me 'love' angered me could wait. When we got to my house he walked me to the door like a gentleman when I heard his phone buzz. He opened it, gazed at a text for a moment with a confused look, then put it away.

"Alright. So do you think you could come pick me up tomorrow? My baby is being stubborn lately and I wouldn't want to get stuck again." I said with a smile. His head tilted in confusion.

"Of course, love. And where might we be going?" I laughed because I thought he was joking. When I noticed confusion in his eyes, I stopped laughing.

"Edward, I'm going to your house tomorrow." I said slowly so he'd understand. His eyes lit in anger.

"What? I thought we just resolved this in the car!" I was so confused. We didn't have any other conversations in the car, did we?

"What are you talking about?" I gave in.

"Bella, love, there's no reason for you to come to the house again. Emmett is still in his horrid state of mind and still a threat. I apologized for my actions so there is no need to go back and try Emmett tomorrow." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I let his words sink in for a moment and leaned against the porch railing.

"Edward." I sighed with incredulous laugh. "I didn't try to get through to Emmett because I was mad at you."

"Then why else would be so hell bent on trying to soothe an unstable vampire?" Edward said louder this time.

"Because he is your brother and he is a person who is feeling pain. How could you not want to help him?" I couldn't believe Edward was acting this way.

"Bella, he is so unstable and Rosalie is already mad enough that you managed to squeeze something from him. Why keep poking the bear?"

"I don't give a damn what Rosalie thinks. She is his wife and she should be sympathizing with him and helping him get through this, instead of screaming and upsetting him!" I snapped causing his eyes to widen.

"Bella, please watch your language. You're becoming more like your mutt friends." At the disgusting term for my other family, I glared at him and he cowered.

"Whatever Edward. I'm going inside and my window won't be opened so don't even bother." I knew that he could just open the window if he wanted to, but to both of us it being closed symbolized something meaningful to the both of us.

"Bella, stop being like this." He begged.

"Look, you still haven't had time to think about if you trust me or not so don't think I forgot about that. Now you go insulting my friends I told specifically not to. Either you will be picking me up tomorrow, someone else will, or I will just drive my own baby and pray it doesn't break down. Goodnight Edward." I explained. I leaned forward, kissed his cheek, and then walked into my house without turning around.

Needless to say, I got little sleep that night.

The next morning… Saturday 7:26 AM

Although I hadn't told Edward what time to come (or send) someone to get me, I assumed he'd be here by 7:30 like always.

I continued to busy myself with nonsense things when I heard a noise from the driveway. I grabbed my jacket and house keys then locked the house before turning to not see a silver Volvo.

"Hi Jasper." I said in confusion but a smile nonetheless.

"Why Good Mornin' miss Bella." He said as he stepped off of his motorcycle. I loved his southern accent and wondered for a brief moment why I only heard it when others weren't around.

"Edward let you come get me on this?" I joked. Edward hated my recent love for motorcycles claiming they were 'dangerous' and 'deadly' but I didn't care. I liked them.

Jasper threw his head back in laughter. "Not willingly. He said he wasn't going to come get you this mornin' and told us not to get you." I immediately felt rejected and Jasper was in front of me, hands on my shoulders. "Now, now. He just doesn't want you getting hurt." I rolled my eyes at the over used statement. "I told him that if you called, I was going to come get you no matter what he said." I smiled up at him. He really did treat me well.

"Oh, I bet he didn't like that." I giggled causing his eyes to light up.

"No, miss Bella. He didn't." I laughed again. "But I figured instead of keeping you waiting that I'd come get you, Jasper Style." Gesturing to his bike. I laughed and he handed me a helmet that I hadn't noticed in his hands.

I plopped it on my head and fastened it by the time Jasper was on the bike.

"No helmet for you, Jasper?" I asked as he revved the engine.

"As if concrete could hurt me." He teased sarcastically. I laughed and moved next to the bike.

"This won't make you uncomfortable, will it?" I asked as I debating sitting down.

"Alice told me I'd do fine, and I know I will." With relief I threw my leg over the side of the back and wrapped my arms around Jasper's muscular body. "Off we go!" He shouted before pulling out of the driveway with dangerous speed.

We raced down the road and I couldn't help but laugh at the adrenaline spiked feeling.

We both laughed as he maneuvered the windy Cullen driveway and skidded to stop in front of the garage. I jumped off and threw off my helmet.

"That was amazing!" I laughed. Jasper agreed and pulled the bike into the garage.

"Bella!" Alice shouted as she tackled me from behind. I laughed at her death grip and felt Jasper pry her off.

"Hi Alice." I said with a warm smile.

"Bella!" She cried again. "We are in desperate need of a shopping trip. Just you and me. And maybe well Jasper. His clothes have been getting rips lately since we don't sleep and—" I quickly put my hand over her mouth and blushed tomato red.

"I really don't need to know that, Alice." I whined. She laughed when I removed my hand and Jasper picked her up to twirl her around. I felt cold hands on my hips and a kiss on my shoulder blade.

"Why are you here?" He whispered softly.

"To help." I sighed and leaned against his chest. He wrapped his arms entirely around me. "You know I love you right?" I asked softly.

"Yes. As I love you." I walked into the house and said hello to them all before immediately going upstairs and sitting in my same position as yesterday.

"Hi Emmett. It's Bella again." I heard nothing and started humming.

"I think everything is starting to get okay again. Well sort of anyway. I'll have to talk to you more when you get out of there." I teased. "Jasper picked me up in his new motorcycle." I gushed. "I don't know if you've rode it yet but it was totally unbelievable. I know you all run so fast but to me, ahh it was so exhilarating!" After about an hour my stomach growled and Edward came up to bring me to the kitchen for some snacks.

"Any changes?" I asked Edward and Jasper. Edward shook his head as Jasper nodded his.

"It seems the voice just calms him down." Jasper clarified when Edward glared. I nodded my head and walked to the kitchen where Esme had all sorts of picking food causing me to laugh.

"Esme, you treat me much too well." I said as I dipped a chip. She laughed and her heart shaped face illuminated.

"It is wonderful to actually use the kitchen for once." She explained. Her cold hand overlapping mine threw me for surprise. "And thank you, Bella. For trying to get through to Emmett. It means the world to me that you're doing this for my son." I smiled at her.

"You know, you should all try just talking to him. I think the voices are familiar enough to him that the real Emmett inside of him hears them. It might work." I tried as I took another bite of something saucy and delicious.

And so everyone did. Well everyone apart from Edward and Rosalie. Rosalie made sure she said it loud enough that she wasn't going to talk to a wall for hours and Edward was still convinced that none of these efforts were helping.

Alice and I were watching the shopping channel when Carlisle took his turn before mine.

Carlisle POV

I walked upstairs and helped my Esme off the ground. She kissed me lightly on the lips before dancing away from me to give me some false privacy with my boy.

I sat against the door and rested my arms on my knees.

"Hello son." I started awkwardly. "It's your Dad, Carlisle." I began to just go with it, as Bella had done. "I know you're in there and I'm not sure about whether or not you can hear me, but I just want you to know that I am not angry with you." I leaned my head against the door and stared up at the ceiling. "We all make mistakes and I don't want you to feel ashamed because you did. It only makes you human." I smiled at the comment. "You know, when you were changed and after we gave you blood and explained everything to you, the first thing you said to us all was as a knowing vampire was 'Great! Does this mean I get to sleep in a coffin?' and you made us all laugh. You were scared, we all were, but you managed to turn something so dreadful into something so wonderful." I sighed an unnecessary breath.

"I miss you, my boy." I said after a long moment. "Bella's been here trying so hard to get you to come to and it's been hard to try and stay confident that everything will work out. I know it will. I know you will wake up from this state and be with us once more, but I don't know how to be strong when you are in so much pain." I knew everyone, apart from Bella, would be able to hear this but I knew they respected me enough to not bring it up. "It's funny how this human girl has had such an impact on this family, don't you think? I never expected her to be so meaningful in all of our lives even though Alice told us frequently that she would. She misses you Emmett—as all of us do." After a long moment of venting my feelings, I stood and walked down the stairs where my family was acting as though they heard nothing—to which I was thankful.

Jasper pulled me into the kitchen and smiled.

"His emotions are different. Still plenty of guilt but when he heard your voice he was actually aware and reacting to what you said." I smiled and let out a gust of relief. Edward came in.

"His thoughts are still haywire though. They give me a headache whenever I try to read them." I nodded and watched as Bella rose from the couch and went back upstairs to sit and talk.

Bella POV

"Emmett? It's Bella. Again." I said with a sad smile. "I hope that you see the whole family misses you. Hell, I miss you. I haven't really laughed in a couple of days now and it really sucks. I don't know how depressed people do this all the time." I joked light heartedly. "Can I tell you something, Em?" I asked. I lied down and pressed my face against the bottom crack of the door, seeing darkness in the room. "I'm terrified and I feel so weak."

It then occurred to me that all the vampires were in the house at this time and could hear my every word, but I wasn't stopping now. Everything that's been bothering me just exploded.

"I just feel so drained. I've been arguing with Edward a lot recently and then there's always the fact that Jacob is still in love with me and I can't be with him and then I think about Charlie and Renee and how it pains me to know that they're going to lose a daughter and I'm stressed with school and worried that my grades won't be good and no college with accept me and I'm nervous of the change and the Volturi and scared of Victoria and of dying and then there's Mike Newton always flirts with me and Rosalie still treats me like dirt and I'm mad at how she's treating you through this whole thing and I suck at James Bond no matter how many times I play it and I just feel empty and I'm still mad that you all left and I'm still mad that I took back this entire family even after you all hurt me so much and I just don't know what to do anymore and I need you to wake up, Emmett. I need to know that I've done something right and that I'm going to see your smile again and that I'll hear your laugh and that I'm going to be okay again." By this point, tears were flowing freely down my face and I was sobbing loudly.

I thought I heard the slightest bit of movement and all of a sudden I was being pulled up to my feet.

"What happened?" I asked through the tears. Edward was holding my arm and pulling me down the stairs.

"He's aware again." Edward snarled. I started crying even more and when we got to the bottom of the stairs he cupped my face in his hands. "Why didn't you tell me all of that Bella?" He asked offended. I just started crying again and tried to go up the stairs.

"Stop Edward! I need to see that he's okay. If he's aware that's a good thing!" I cried through the sobs. Edward just shook his head and held me against his chest. I saw Rosalie rush past me and the door slam shut.

Then I heard yelling and screaming although I couldn't make out what they were saying. Edward just tried to shush me and then there was a loud crash followed by more screaming. He pulled me out of the house and started walking to the garage when I saw that Emmett's bedroom window was broken. I started struggling against Edward, trying to get back into the house but he had one arm around my waist and was walking with determination.

"Emmett!" I shouted through my sobs. "Emmett please just let me see that you're okay." I begged to nothing.

Then all of a sudden, there he was.

My memory hadn't done him justice even though he looked like hell. He was huge, wearing a wifebeater and his boxers and his hair was a filthy mess. His eyes were deep crimson red and they were looking straight at me.

Edward was suddenly in front of me, blocking me from him and I started crying again.

"Edward, stop! He's not going to hurt me." I screamed. Edward just kept snarling and growling as if I wasn't even talking. A flash of blonde registered to me and Edward was gone from my view.

"If she wants to get killed, let her!" Rosalie shouted as she pinned Edward to the ground, despite his trying to escape.

I foolishly ran to Emmett and tripped on the way, landing hard on my knees in front of him. My hands were out in front of me on the hard pavement and tears were staining it. I could hear lots of shouting and roars but I just looked up at Emmett—tears ruining my face and silently begged for him to see me.

After a long moment Emmett shook off Jasper and Carlisle, who were trying to calm him down, and knelt down in front of me. Even kneeling he was towering over me and he just stared at me and I was mesmerized by his crimson eyes. Tears fell silently down my face and he just watched me.

"Emmett." I whispered hoarsely breaking his concentration. He just crumpled and threw his arms around me.

I winced, waiting for the bite but it never came. I opened my burning eyes to realize that he was just burying his face in the crook of my neck and sobbing. The quiet that I had just realized surrounded us, broke into a shrill of unbearable shouts but I didn't care. I just wrapped my arms around this broken man and held him to me, crying the tears he could never shed.

He just held me as the commotion around us exploded and his hands, which had unconsciously pulled up my shirt slightly, felt like icy fire against my skin. After what could have been an eternity, or more realistically about half an hour someone lightly touched our shoulders, causing Emmett to hold me beneath him to protect me. I looked and saw Carlisle crouching down to meet our eyes.

"Emmett. It's me, Carlisle." Emmett instantly relaxed but didn't release his tight hold on me. "Emmett. I need to know if you're okay."

Emmett didn't talk so someone else did.

"He's hurting Carlisle. Emotionally, mentally, and even physically. I can feel that he's longing for warmth and Bella is that source right now." I recognized Jasper's voice.

"Oh that's it!" I heard the shrill voice scream. Rosalie marched right up to Emmett and pulled at his shirt, bringing him to stand. I cautiously rose and Emmett wrapped a hand around my waist. "First, you don't react to me talking to you. Now you're needing the human?" She shouted in his face. He didn't move and his face reminded me of a child who just discovered that Santa wasn't real. Void of emotion and destroyed.

"Bella? Come here please." I looked to see Edward reaching out to me. Emmett's grip tightened and I shook my head.

"No Edward. He needs warmth right now." I said through my scratchy voice. "He needs to be treated like a person, Rosalie!" I shouted as I looked at her. "Not as a child." She screamed and Edward pulled her away from us and into his arms. He whispered something in her ear and she just hissed at him.

"Why don't you two go hunt?" Esme suggested. I hadn't even noticed she was here. They both growled but Esme's look was enough to make them cower.

"This isn't over." Rosalie shot at me as she pulled Edward from us.

"Carlisle?" Alice piped in. She was standing next to Jasper and looked as though she was wakening up from a vision. "Emmett will be fine handling Bella. He just needs time to remember his humanity."

"The girl's blood is still within him and makes him feel inhuman." Jasper clarified. Carlisle looked at us and nodded. I shivered and Emmett immediately picked me up and ran upstairs with his vampire speed to his room. He put me down as his silent way of telling me I could leave if I wanted to. I shook my head and went to his bed to warm up. He lay next to me but not under the covers—still giving me a choice. I raised my hand up carefully and pressed it against his cheek. His head moved into my hand an animalistic whine escaped his lips.

He was in so much pain. I pulled the blanket over the both of us and pressed myself against his ice-cold body. His arms wrapped around me and I buried my face into his neck.

"Emmett?" I asked in a whisper. Emmett's body relaxed against me at the sound of my voice and I figured that if talking woke him out of this, talking would continue to help.

"Edward and Rosalie looked really upset, didn't they?" I said sadly. He growled at their names and I shushed him. "It's okay. They're not here right now so don't stress out." He relaxed slowly. I looked into his beautiful crimson eyes and a small shudder of fear tingled through my spine. His eyes softened and he looked down in shame when he noted my fear. "No, it's fine Emmett. I trust you. I'm not mad about what happened, neither is anyone else." I decided to leave out Edward and Rosalie who were indeed angry with him. "You made a mistake and it only makes you human." His eyes bored into mine and I smiled up at him. I got comfortable again and rested my head on his wide and muscular chest. I felt great relief when he hesitantly began to breath and his chest rose and fell unnecessarily. "It's okay Emmett. You're going to be okay. We're going to be okay." I said with a smile.

I was sick of being strong for everyone else. I was scared and tired and I felt my eyes drift shut as Emmett drew small circles on the small of my back.

I drifted into the best sleep I've had in a long, long time.

Edward POV

With a violent growl I lunged at a mountain lion and bit down on it's soft neck. I was being careless today and I didn't care. I let the blood gush from its neck and down my throat and swallowed the sweet liquid to cool the burning in my throat. When it was dry I stood up angrily and kicked the limp carcass away.

Although I was obviously full, the burning in my throat refused to go away. I was so angry!

I let out a loud howl and punched the closest tree near me.

Who the hell did Emmett think he was? Taking my Bella away from me and into his dangerous hands.

Two hours earlier

"What happened?" She asked as I pulled her roughly to her feet. I could hear Emmett's thoughts now as he longed to comfort Bella. My Bella!

"He's aware again." I snapped at her. I could see he was standing now, trying to figure out where he was and get his head in order. At the bottom of the stairs I held Bella's delicate face in my hands. "Why didn't you tell me all of that Bella?" I was so hurt that she was in that much pain but couldn't talk to me about it. I am her fiancé! I deserve more respect than that.

"Stop Edward! I need to see that he's okay. If he's aware that's a good thing!" How could she be so stupid? If he was aware he was going to try and attack her. Why can't she see that? Rosalie rushed past us and up to Emmett's room.

She started yelling at him, well screaming actually, about how she was so hurt that he woke up to Bella and not her. There was a loud shatter as Emmett punched through the window and I decided that Bella was in too much danger. I started running her out of the house and to my car. She started struggling but she was a human and no where near my strength.

"Emmett!" She started begging. Immediately Emmett's mind focused to her voice. "Emmett please just let me see that you're okay." She screamed desperately. She cared so much for him and it filled me with powerful jealousy. Before I could get her out of here, he was standing on the porch. He looked like shit and an absolute monster. How could Bella want to see him?

He was staring at Bella and I could see in his mind that he wanted to get to her. I growled and stood in front of her to protect her.

"Edward, stop! He's not going to hurt me." She screamed. I growled and ignored her. She was so naïve and I wasn't going to let her get killed. I was so focused with Emmett I didn't even noticed Rosalie coming at me and tackling me to the ground. I always forgot how strong she was.

"If she wants to get killed, let her!" Rosalie pinned me to the ground and held my hands and legs glued down, despite my attempts to break free.

"Rosalie! Let me go and save her!" I told her. She hissed.

"No."

I struggled against her and her mind was intent on keeping me here.

"Emmett." She whispered and both Rosalie and I turned to see Emmett drop to his knees and throw his arms around her. I shouted in desperation, begging him to not kill her.

A sickening silence filled the air as we all waited for Emmett to bite down into her. But he didn't, much to my surprise. They just held each other. Carlisle walked up to them and carefully put his hands on their shoulders. Emmett reacted quickly and threw Bella beneath him to 'protect her'. As if. That was my job.

"Emmett. It's me, Carlisle." Emmett instantly relaxed but didn't release his tight hold on my love "Emmett. I need to know if you're okay."

Jasper stepped in..

"He's hurting Carlisle. Emotionally, mentally, and even physically. I can feel that he's longing for warmth and Bella is that source right now."

"Oh that's it!" Rosalie jumped off of me and stormed to Emmett. I stood up and walked towards them as well. "First, you don't react to me talking to you. Now you're needing the human?" She shouted in his face. His face and mind held no emotion for his wife.

"Bella? Come here please." I reached out to my Bella, begging her to leave that disgusting beast and come back into my safe arms.

"No Edward. He needs warmth right now." Did she just say no to me? I can't believe her disrespect to me. She had been showing a lot of defiance to me lately, but this was the highest point of her immaturity. "He needs to be treated like a person, Rosalie!" I was surprised that she spoke to Rosalie in such a tone. "Not as a child." She screamed at my Bella and I pulled her away wrapping my arms around her waist and holding her slender body against mine.

"Calm down, Rosalie. I'm just as mad at them as you." I whispered in her ear causing her to hiss at me.

"Why don't you two go hunt?" Esme suggested with finality in her voice. Both of us looked at her but her motherly 'Don't you dare talk back to me' eyes shut both of us up. Rosalie screamed and looked at Bella.

"This isn't over." She snapped at her before pulling with her with amazing strength and speed into the forest.

Present Time

How could she do that to herself and me? Bella was being so reckless and inconsiderate!

"I swear if I could I'd rip off all of her limbs and scatter the pieces." Rosalie snapped bitterly walking up behind me. "Well don't you look wonderful." She mumbled sarcastically taking in my bloody shirt and ratted hair.

I said nothing and turned to face her and all her beauty. As much as she detested this life, immortality suited her so well. She was always so beautiful even after a hunt.

"Why didn't Emmett react to me?" She asked—somewhat sadly. I could see there was something else bothering her but she was doing a good job of hiding it.

"I have no clue. But I can't believe that Bella has attached herself to him like that!" I hissed. She laughed bitterly.

"That stupid human." I glared at her and she rolled her eyes. "Oh stop Edward. I'm so annoyed at this it isn't even funny anymore." I couldn't disagree. "First she takes you away and ruins our lives and then consoles my dumb husband as if she didn't already have it all." She said more to herself. I looked at her confused and for the first time in a long time, Rosalie looked down in a way that if she were human, she would be red with blush.

"Rosalie…?" I asked. She rolled her eyes and turned away from me to lean against a tree.

"Silly isn't it?" I still had no idea what she was talking about so I reached forward and brushed my hand against her warm arm. She wasn't warm like Bella, but she was warm in such a familiar way.

"This human girl comes and sweeps you off your feet and then manages to take attention of my only distraction for the past sixty years." She hadn't sounded this small in a long time.

"Rosalie. What are you talking about?" I asked quietly.

"Do you really not see it?" She said, whipping around to face me. And then I saw it in her mind. All the memories of us meeting and being with me flooded my mind. I could see the love and passion she felt for me.

"Rosalie…" I said again. I knew she had feelings for me, but I was always so against it. "Even now? When you have Emmett?" I asked, unconsciously moving closer to her.

"Emmett brought me sunshine into this life but our passion has been dead for a long time. I don't see him the same anymore, especially when you're around me." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Bella took your heart and I felt ashamed that I couldn't do it."

"Rosalie, you are so lovely." I said holding her to me. "But Bella…"

"Oh shut up. Bella is a fascination to you. The combination of her blood, her closed mind, and her ease of learning of our kind has turned her into some type of challenge for you!" She said and when I went to tell her that the thought was silly, I hesitated and she smiled sadly. "See?"

"But, I love her so very much." I said, more so trying to convince myself.

"It's possible to love someone, without being in love with someone. I'll always love Emmett. But I'm sick of his childish behavior and treating Bella like some sort of savior for all of us." I looked away from her.

I did love Bella…didn't I?

"Haven't you ever wanted to kiss her and not worry about breaking her?" She asked, stepping closer to me. "Haven't you ever got tired of pretending to be someone you're not, for someone that you don't even have all that in common with?" She pressed. I wanted to say no, but I knew that I frequently did. Bella had such different views about being in a relationship. I wanted to spoil her and for her to only see me but she wanted to have friends and be treated for so like an equal than a princess.

"I can't…" I whispered. She shushed me and pulled me closer to her.

"Please Edward. I'm sick of waiting and trying to be content with what I have." She begged and I saw her vulnerable side. I instantly weakened and pushed her against the tree. "Emmett...he treats me like a queen like I've always longed to be treated but then there are moments when you treat me so kindly and I melt! It just isn't fair!"

"Rosalie…" I sighed.

"Why can't you love me like her?" She begged and I cupped her gorgeous face in my hands.

"How could I have never seen you before?" I whispered.

Bella Swan had truly opened my eyes to something and I hated that I was doing this. But Bella was with Emmett right now because he needed her.

"Too busy, I guess." She said almost bitterly.

And then I did something that I never thought I would do since meeting Bella.

I kissed Rosalie Hale with everything I had.

At first, I was nervous. Kissing Bella had taught me to be careful but then I remembered that she was not breakable and I pushed her roughly against the tree as our mouths opened to each other. My eyes rolled in the back of my head at the taste and she moaned into my mouth.

My undead heart started to thump and although I felt guilty for doing this to Bella, I couldn't bring myself to pull away.

As we kissed with more passion I couldn't help but think and hope that Emmett hadn't killed Bella.

Well! There's chapter 2! Woot Woot! How did you like it?
