Chapter Three: Crying for the tearless
I noticed that Titanic was just coming on and he picked it. I was touched that he would pick Titanic for me and said, " Thanks. But you can put sports on." He looked at me and said, " No surprisingly I actually like this movie, but if anyone found out my rep would be shot." I burst out laughing and then setteled in to watch the movie. I had to pee during a commercial. When I got back Emmett hadn't moved a muscle and I sat back on the couch and he laid his head in my lap. During the movie I played with his silky, curly hair. At the end I started to crying and tears fell on Emmett's head. He sat up and pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me. When I was done crying Emmett continued to hold me. I felt somewhat better and said, " Thank you for holding me. It reminded me that there is still good in the world and that people still care about me." He smiled down sadly at me and said, " No problem. It's nice to know that someone needs me to be a friend. Do you want to go to sleep now?" I nodded and he carried me gently upstairs. I grabbed a set of pajamas and my toiletries bag. " See you in twenty minutes." I looked over at him and he was sitting in my chair, he saw me looking at him and grinned. I flushed and walked over to the bathroom. While I got undressed and started the water for my shower I wondered why Emmett would have that effect on me.
When I went back into my room Emmett was still there, but his clothes were different. I wasn't offended that he had left or changed, it just seemed normal.The look on his face was one of saddness so I decided to cheer him up. I called out, " Hey do you want to play truth or dare?" He opened his eyes, and my heart stopped, and nodded and asked, " Any restrictions?" I answered, " Yes. One. All articles of clothing stay on." He quickly agreed and we began. I went first and asked, " Truth or dare?" He thought for a moment and said, " Truth." It took me a moment and I asked, " Why did you come to visit me?" He scowled, and my heart stopped again, and answered, " I don't really know. I just wanted to check up on you. You're like family, and no one else would dare to defy Edward. Truth or dare?" " Dare. " I said feeling reckless. He looked shocked and said, " Call Mike Newton and tell him that... You like to eat monkey brains." I was shocked but went downstairs and picked up the phone. I dialed Mike's number, and when he picked up I said, " Hey Mike I wanted you to know that I love to eat monkey brains." When I was done Emmett burst out laughing, as we walked back up to my room to finish playing.I asked him, " Truth or dare?"
