Bella's POV
The final bell had finally rung and could not have been happier. I usually loved school. Well that was most likely because I was a top student, straight A's, honors classes the whole shebang.
The past few weeks however had been a total pain. With having to chose what school I wanted to go to and trying to appease everyone in my family.
I knew I was going to school to pursue a degree in writing. My major was not the problem. I knew what I wanted to do and I knew that I had the potential to make a name for myself as a respected author one day. The problem was that my parents wanted me to stay close to home so they would still have one child they could watch like a hawk. On the other hand my brother wanted me to go to school near him so he could keep in touch with his little sister but I knew he just wanted to keep on eye on me. Emmett was more protective of me than my own parents.
We had never gone to the same school but he some way always managed to control my life. Even when he was a thousand miles away. If he even heard that a boy thought I was cute he would go into have-to-go-kick-some-ass mode. No one was good enough for me in his opinion.
His love life though was another story. Emmett was somewhat of a man whore, and I tended to worry about him. I did however trust him to make good decisions, he was a very smart person. Even though you wouldn't get that impression from first meeting him, Its something that I learned after 18 years with him as my big brother. I missed Em like crazy. We were the only person the other could fully trust, we both had friends but nobody we could trust and relate as much as one another.
I mean, we did come out of the same whom.
Emmett had fully gotten along with our parents, he always resented them.
Our parents never had the best marriage, I don't even know how they stayed together so long. They were always at each others throats fighting about something. I always tried to play it off and ignore it but Emmett couldn't. He always thought that they should both move on and do something more fulfilling with both of there lives. He most definitely did not keep his opinions to him self.
He often told our parents to just give up and stop acting like we were a cookie cutter happy family. My parents knew he was right, they knew they should just take his advice and move on, but they were to stubborn to admit that their son was right. They would just shift their current argument to Emmett and start fighting with him. This caused major issues with my parents and Em so as soon as he turned 18 he accepted a full scholarship to the farthest school that offered; to play collage football.
Em and myself keep in touch as much as we can with him so far away.
Em and my parents on the other hand hadn't talked since Christmas last year and even that was over the phone. I hadn't seen Em since Halloween when he surprised me. It was strange but a totally Emmett thing to do. I mean who visits on Halloween and avoids Christmas. I guess I can try to under stand why he would visit on a day when he wouldn't have to act happy and spend the whole weekend sitting around the tree with my parents. It was actually quite funny if you thought about it.
As soon as I opened the door I immediately noticed Em standing in the back of a group of about 10 Trick-or-Treaters. I mean he was 3 feet taller than them.
I didn't really mind though it wasn't as if Christmas in the Swan house was a big deal. We hadn't even put up a tree since Emmett left. I knew my parents missed him like crazy put they were still to stubborn to admit he was right, so whenever they saw one another they would try and act as pleasant as possible but you could feel the tension and glares that were given behind my back. They all tried to compromise and deal with each other for me. I was the mediator.
I had talked to Em last might and he seemed fine but I , being just as hard headed as the rest of my family, refused to tell him what was wrong when detected that I was unset over something.
"Yeah that's really cool Em." I remember saying in a monotone voice.
"I know right. I am the man right Bells!"
"Yeah, sure."
"You okay Kid, you sound suicidal." That was Em's attempt at trying to show concern and make me laugh at the same time. Usually that would make me crack up but I just had to much on my plate to really pay attention to what he was saying.
"What? I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Hey Em I have to go talk to you soon." I hung up the phone before he had the chance to say anything else.
A/N
I know I'm dragging to get to the parts that you all want to read but to tell you he truth I am dieing to just write the whole thing in one chapter. But I felt it crucial to get a back round on the Swan family.
In Bella's version she is currently about eight hours behind of Em's and Eddie's version. We should get to the good stuff in the next chapter! ;)
Some one asked how many chapters I thought this story would turn out to be.
I'm thinking about 40. As soon as we get past the pain of super short chapters and more into Edward's and Bella's relationship the chaps will drag and they will build up a friendship first before anything else.
Okay the first 4 people that can guess what movie inspired this story get a sneak peak at the next chapter!!
