Chapter 3: The Catch Up and Keep Away

Bella's P.O.V

Seeing Emmett in my house was like seeing God walk among people I just forgot how massive and muscular he was he was like a walking statue of Hercules you wanted to just want to squeeze him and see if he was filled with stuffing at times.

"Welcome home stranger" he said as he hugged me a bit tighter than Alice and Jasper hug me I could feel the air slightly become thin and I coughed

"Emmett, human" he released me. I smiled I didn't mind the roughness I just missed a vampires touch I guess im so immune to Alice and Jasper that I forget that there are others like them out there

"So, Miss Swan how are you?" he said sitting in a chair in the kitchen my eyes started to well because he had chosen to sit in Charlie's chair he always sat in when I was here with him fixing him dinner. Emmett must've known because he quickly switched chairs I sat adjacent to him and smiled again

"fine, and excuse my eating, while you're here, you see I don't go and eat rabid growling grizzlies for dinner I eat this dainty human food" I made a funny looking face and stuffed a bite of salad in my mouth as he wrinkled his nose

"Oh that's not a problem you said you needed my help?" he said raising and eyebrow and giving me the hugest dimple grin he could possibly fake. I knew he was faking his happiness, probably as he knew I was faking mine. I sat across from him still eating my salad we had gotten past the formalities of small talk and were left silence when broke it with words that probably pierced his heart all over again.

"Alice and Jasper told me what happened" I looked into his golden eyes and saw his heartache for myself, I just had to see if that heart ache was really true.

"So you know about the Whore and the Perv? Eh?" his humor was there but it was more of a angry statement than a joke I couldn't help myself anyway though as I laughed at the statement

"Emmett…that….was…" I couldn't even finish the sentence he had truly made me laugh the first person to honestly honestly make me laugh since I found out my father was dead. His face seem to light up at my laughter and started to chuckle himself and I saw the real dimples the non fake Emmett Cullen seriously adorable baby-face dimples the ones that he showed when he was really truly happy.

"Bella, how was college?" he tried changing the subject pulling his serious tone back and back to being sullen Emmett. I hated this Emmett he wasn't the Emmett Cullen that use to tease me about my klutzy mistakes or my lack of intimacy he wasn't the goofy prankster that I've always known. It was depressing even when I was already depressed his attitude and emotions just seem to drag me down even more.

"College was fine Emmy, I graduated, well not top of class but I've got my first Bachelors in British literature" I watched him wrinkle his nose and mutter a word that I thought sounded like "Shakespeare" and I looked at him

"You have a problem with old English?" I raised my eyebrow trying to get him to confess

"No, I just, it was an easy guess I was guessing English Major with credentials for teaching or something similar" he said grinning again. He seemed to be loosening himself to me or showing me the old Emmett that I've always known and loved. He opened his mouth to speak again and stopped before a word could get out and then looked at me and whispered so I could hear "so they did tell you?" I nodded answering his question I hated seeing his face like this it seems the further we got into talking the further his face seemed to pale and sad to me.

As soon as I was staring at his face I dropped my face too look at my half eaten salad and heard my cell phone go off I went to grab it and looked quickly at it

B –

Going to see Esme & Carlisle, we've had unexpected visitors show up in Forks

X

A & J

I texted back thinking "unexpected visitors"

A-

Who's unexpected????

X

B

Just as quickly as I sent I got a reply, I muttered "damn vampires" it got a chuckle out of Emmett. I looked up and smiled briefly before reading the text message that flew onto my screen.

B-

Rose and Edward are home!

X

A & J

I couldn't stop my fingers before they typed the words out in caps across the screen of my phone and letting them send.

A-

WHAT THE HELL

X

B

There was one within 30 seconds from a different number jaspers number of course.

B-

Don't tell Emmett keep him there don't let him come home. Please distract him were trying to get them to leave.

J-

I quickly replied to his concerns,

J-

Don't worries Jasper, ill take care of the bear! I promise

B-

He responded within seconds of my reply. And I was relieved that they were at least handling a situation that could possibly have turned bad if they hadn't warned me of it ahead of time. Thinking about Edward coming back to down with his new wife. Thinking how Emmett would take seeing them. I cringed and saw the reply from Jasper

B-

Thanks Bells don't feel repulsed; it's not a good feeling and Alice says thanks as well she's trying to sort the situation.

J-

I muttered

"Stupid empath" as I smiled and looked up from my cell phone slipping it into my pocket and went to put my dish away throwing the salad into the trash and looking up at Emmett as I washed my dish and put it to dry.

"Emmett I kinda don't wanna be alone right now can you stay and just hang out?" I said meekly it was true Charlie just died not even a week ago and being alone in this house kinda creeped me out my dead father use to live here. His clothes were still here his guns were still in the storage closet in the hallway

"Sure, Bella you called me over to help" he stood and ruffled my hair and I smiled he truly was able to make me smile I hoped that was the brother Emmett coming back out of him.


Emmett's P.O.V

Watching Bella answer her text messages I saw the looks on her face at first they were ok and then there was shock and I wondered what could bring shock to Bella she's already had a lot to deal with Charlie dying, and then hearing my god awful news.

"Sure Bella, you called me over to help" I ruffled her hair I saw her smile. I hoped I could make her smile as much as possible she needed to know that just because Charlie died doesn't mean she shouldn't smile she should. Charlie died protecting this beloved Forks and it should be something to celebrate dude Charlie was a fucking hero. For a human I thought he was wicked cool he got to run around a small town and pull people over. I wanna do that I wanna give people speeding tickets instead of getting them. I laughed in my head. I try to make myself laugh because not having self humor in my head was only making me remember what I heard what I experienced those 4 years ago.

"What do you want to do Bella?" I asked keeping the conversation flowing I watched her play with her hair I always liked the color of her hair it wasn't blonde which was a relief I hated blonde, no offense to Carlisle, but ever since Rosalie everything about her I hated, I hated her blonde hair, her vainness, her beauty. And I have to say Bella is beautiful but she isn't Vain beautiful like Rosalie was.

Whoa Emmett did u just say Bella was beautiful???

She smiled and looked at me

"Help me pack up some of Charlie's things, I think he was planning of donating most of his things to Forks, Good will or something?" her voice questioning her own idea about Charlie's things. She fidgeted looking at me and I could tell she was uncomfortable with the silence

"Sure, lead the way ill help with whatever I can Charlie was an amazing man I would be honored to help make his wishes respected" I said trying to be honest as possible I wonder if I should tell her that I fucking idolized her father for his being a cop. I laughed out loud for the first time, I think I startled Bella she jumped and looked at me Im sure she was angry and was walking faster, I remember that kind of behavior, Rosalie did it whenever I pissed her off or said something about the way she looked.

"Your laughing at what you just said about my father?" she looked pretty hurt

"No Bella, I wasn't laughing at what I said, I quiet forgot for a moment that you were there I was laughing at something completely silly. Would you like to hear?" I smiled and was thinking about my last thoughts about idolizing a human! I watched her body language and watched her lips move as if she were going to say something she stopped to think and looked up at me and I smiled showing my classic baby faced dimples which im sure took her breath away… all the ladies seem to pass out when I smile like that

"Sure Emmett" I saw her face question what I was going to say

"I kinda Envied your Dad" I made my statement small and simple then added "well Idolized him rather" I finished and smiled down at her. I saw her face light up and then her laughter rang out. I liked this laughter, it made her sadness go away.

"You, envied my father? Why?" she looked at me still stifling a laugh as she headed up to the 2nd level of the house so I began to tell my story

"Your father got to hand out speeding tickets, carry a gun, drive fast , protect people, fight crime he was like a super hero" I knew for sure to her that I sounded like a lil boy who read Comic books. But Hey SUPER HEROS ARE AWESOME!!!!

"OMG did you just compare my dad to like Superman or Batman" she looked back at me when we reached the top of the stares and watched her brown liquid chocolate eyes smile back at me as she began to laugh again and adding "Charlie Swan, Crime Fighting super hero" she laughed and finished "I like it"

"Hey, I wanna be a police officer because your dad fucking rocked at being one!" I said before holding my tongue!

"Thanks Emmett I think he did too" she put her hand on mine and look up she quickly pulled it away and walked into his room where his things were already laid out and I heard Bella mutter something that sounded like "effing pixie" I chuckled and she looked back and smiled

"Your sister I swear she never stops does she" I could see tears welling up as she took in the surrounding of Charlie's room I walked to her side I told her I would help her and I would I quickly put my thumb up to her face and wiped the beginning of a tear drop and smiled and whispered so she could hear

"Hey, She was trying to help she knew how hard this would be, I knew how hard this would be for you. Esme and Carlisle knew this would be hard and asked me when I arrived if I spoke to you that if you couldn't take staying here you could stay at our place" I looked down into those chocolate eyes and I wanted to take her out of here I didn't like seeing her cry for some odd reason

I want to hold her and kiss those tears away

I shook that thought from my mind whoa, where is my brain im suppose to be consoling not romantic. She smiled up at me through her tears and I could see she was sad, upset, in pain, hurt, in need, all those emotions read across her face im no jasper but I wanted to make her smile or laugh or be happy I took the clothes she was piling in her hand to put in a box and pulled her gently as humanly possible for her out of the room and over my shoulder

"EMMETT PUT ME DOWN" she screamed at me I just laughed

"Hey, human, shush" I said I was going to make her happy and I didn't know how just yet but I had a plan …


Bella's P.O.V

Where was he taking me I was over his shoulder I was being carried by fucking goliath to god knows where. Oh god were running I remember doing this before

Bella close your eyes

My mind was looking out for me I closed my eyes so I wouldn't feel like getting motion sickness. When I felt the movement stopping and myself being set down we were standing in front of the Cullen house I knew this wasn't a good Idea.

"Emmett what are we doing here?" I said knowing that Alice and Jasper had fully warned me to keep Emmett at my place I know I just failed.

"Bella, im trying to make you smile and I was hoping that seeing Esme and Carlisle might make you smile" he said with his goofy grin trying to fake smile to make me happy I knew that one of these times it would work but I didn't know when or how

"No Emmett, I don't think they wanna see me right now I look a mess im not even dressed nicely" I tried to use lying as a way for him to take me back home

"Bella, I don't think Esme would care what your dressed like and frankly I think Carlisle wouldn't either come on you don't want to keep my parents waiting" he was persisting. I couldn't procrastinate with this vampire any longer I took a deep breath and looked at the door to the Cullen's house I gulped and took the first of many steps toward the door wondering how getting inside and seeing who was in there was going to affect me but worse, what and how was it going to affect the strong, tall, bulky, persistent teddy bear next to me.

A.N: thank you all for your Support I appreciate it X – Amy
