She'd Rather Be Alone Than With Me

(Emmett POV)

I know something you don't know, I know something you don't know-

"You know nothing!" Edward exclaimed.

"Edward! Why would you say something like that?" Esme scolded him. He sighed and turned back to his piano. I smirked. Jasper rolled his eyes. This had been going on ever since Edward refused to tell us where Rosalie was. Apparently, she had been specific about not letting me know.

"She was," Edward muttered. I rolled my eyes. Sure, like that was likely. My phone starting ringing and I pulled it out from my pocket.

Hey look, it's my babe!

"Hey look, it's my babe!" I beamed at the phone. Edward rolled his eyes.

"Where's yours, Edward?" I teased as I answered the phone.

"Hello?" Rosalie asked.

"Hey babe! Where are you? Edward said he knew and he won't tell me, so I'm making him go insane! Well, more insane than he already is," I smirked at Edward who growled.

"Oh, leave him alone," Rosalie said quietly. Edward chuckled, and began playing something on the piano.

"So, what's up?" I asked.

"I'm going to Canada, Emmett," Rosalie said quietly. Edward immediately stopped playing. I wondered why. Did Edward have something against moose?

"Cool, Canada. When do we go?" I asked cheerfully.

"No darling, I'm going alone," Rosalie said softly. Why does everyone always assume I don't understand him or her?

"Yeah, I know. We're going alone," I repeated and Edward sighed.

"No, just me, alone," Rosalie said.

"Yeah. When do we go?" I asked again.

"I'm on my way to the airport now," Rosalie said.

"So I'm catching up with you or what?" I asked.

"Emmett, you aren't coming. It's just me this time," Rosalie said. My eyes widened in horror.

"What? But why?" I asked, shocked by the idea.

"I just need some time alone for a while. To do my own thing, you know. I just need to do something," Rosalie explained.

"Why can't you do that here?" I demanded. Rosalie sighed.

"Why is Emmett so emotional?" Jasper asked.

"Rosalie's leaving him," Edward said quietly. The others gasped.

"Emmett, I just need some space. Nothing is happening here. So I'm going to study in Canada," Rosalie sounded upset. How could she be upset? I was the one who was being left behind.

"Why can't I come too?" I asked, feeling more and more afraid.

"It has to be just me," Rosalie sighed.

"Why?" I asked again.

"That's just the way life goes," Rosalie sounded more annoyed.

"That's just the way life goes?" I couldn't believe that.

"Sorry," Rosalie whispered.

"Can't we work this out before you go?" I asked, standing up.

"No Emmett, I need this," Rosalie said.

"Is there anything I can do?" I asked, pacing up and down the room.

"I'm so sorry Emmett," Rosalie whispered.

"But why?" I asked helplessly.

"I'm sorry Emmett. But the situation is out of control. Please know, this has nothing to do with you, it's all me, I promise," Rosalie said quickly.

"Let's work things out, babe, I do not know what to do," I pleaded.

"I am going to miss you, but I have to get a move on with my life," Rosalie continued.
"That is just the way this has to go," I said, sinking to my knees.

"I'm so, so sorry," Rosalie repeated.
"This doesn't have to be like this," I begged.

"It does. I love you. I will miss you. Goodbye, Emmett," Rosalie said softly, and ended the call.
