~Disclaimer~ ya know I am running out of interesting ways to do this….so for now I will do it the old fashion way, I do not own Twilight or anything to do with Twilight, OR any music or bands or movies that may be mentioned. There it is…… don't come after me with lawyers please.

A/N~ hey guys and gals…..Sorry it took a little longer for me to update this one, I kinda hit a writers block for this story.. But hopefully its gone now. This is a filler chapter, not too much going to go on, I just need to get from point B to point F somehow.

Previously on …Miss Me, He had a soft smile and his eyes burned into mine, "I got you." I felt his cool breath across my face and my eyes closed when I realized I could not stop my face from moving closer to his.

I thought I felt his lips just barely brushed against mine, my mind just went blank it was like my heart and body were screaming yes, yes, yes, and my mind was telling me no, no, no, or was it the other way around, oh hell I don't know anymore.

I knew my head was spinning, I knew I was less then a millimeter away from kissing Emmett Cullen, what I didn't know was… if it really happened.

Refusing to open my eyes I tried to take in my surroundings with out the aid of my eyes. I was laying down on something soft, assumption one couch, it was dead quiet, assumption two I was alone.

At some point in laying here, who the hell knows how long, I talked myself into believing I was at home passed out on my own couch from the drinking, and I had the most realistic dream about Emmett I had ever had.

Not saying I dream about him often…ok well maybe lately, but that is not the point Bella. Great I am arguing with myself, never a good sign.

More long moments passed when I decided to open these eyes of mine, one eye at a time. Ok all my theories went to hell in one glance.

I was not home, I was not on a couch, and I was certainly not alone. It was to late to close my eyes and act like I didn't even wake up, my eyes were locked with a very worried looking set of Emmett eyes.

No time like now, I pulled up self up so I was leaning on the headboard my legs crossed at the ankles my hands fell limply in my lap. I briefly took in the room around me.

The bed was huge, had to be a king….do they even make bigger then a king, cause if they did this was it. The blanket was a plush sliver down comforter, tons of pillows.

At the foot of the bed was a massive flat screen tv it seemed to be built right into the footboard. Emmett was placed about at my knees, I looked back to him.

"Bella…" his tone was really off setting, it was like someone ruined Christmas for him, "I'm sorry, I am still not sure how or what happened…but I just…"

I cut him off sitting up more, taking his hand into mine "Emmett, don't say anything…I am the one that's sorry, I passed out, you didn't do anything wrong"

He looked confused for a second, looking down at our hands then back to my face, "why did you pass out, I didn't think you were that drunk"

Oh fuck he knew I had been drinking, jesus I probably smelt nasty to him, " no I didn't drink that much…" I felt my face fill with hot blood again as I thought how to explain this. "I think… I forgot to breath and well… my body …I just…its been so long…" damnit I could not find the words.

My head dropped and I was fighting back the sting of my evil emotion telling tears when I heard him laughing.

He was laughing at me….please just let me turn into something right now and fly away.

"Bells… look at me" even though there was still laughter in his voice there was something there that demanded undivided attention. "its been so long for what?"

I was quiet for a few seconds as I thought about how to word this with out making this more fucked up then it already was. " well I guess to make a long embarrassing story short, its been a long time since I have been dazzled…I guess I forgot how it feels."

I watched him process this… he was looking down at the bed but it was like his mind was not even in the room. He got up and held out a hand to me, "come on girl, you got to see what I got for food for the human… ya know this gets easier and easier every time" his grin was ear to ear…wow he had the deepest dimples I had ever seen.

Something deep down told me I wasn't going to get another chance at those lips anytime soon, wait…why am I even thinking about that. I took his hand and he guided me off the bed.

My ego was taking blow after blow as we walked down the stairs, my hand still in his I am sure he was just making sure I stay upright.

I just kept thinking over and over again about Emmett's walking goddess of an ex-wife, there is not a chance in hell I could stack up to something like that.

Before I was out of my daze we were in the kitchen where Alice was standing there with the brightest smile I have seen from her lately.

All laid out in front of her across a large island was everything you could think of for a pizza buffet, Alice chimed in…"we weren't exactly sure what you liked on your pizza so…..we gave you options."

I could not help but laugh as I walked over there to look at the verity of toppings, a few different sauces, cheeses, with three different pizza crusts.

"I..I don't even know where to start…" shaking my head with a smile I looked over the toppings trying to decide on something. Emmett hopped up on a counter top that was no covered in pizza fixings.

I started to work on a pizza not even really paying attention to what I was grabbing, but thus far I have a traditional crust, there was some sweet tomato basil sauce…I went to the toppings this was going to take a little longer.

"So…." I was not sure what I was going to say or where to even start…why was I even here. Alice must have known I was feeling unsure she sat down at the island and smiled.

"Bella, I know this is strange for all of us, we want you to know we are here for anything, Edward is not going to stop us anymore,…..we realize how bad we messed up listening to him in the first place…."

She went on as I started on my toppings, " he pled his case so well to us, we even believed we were doing the best for you….I can see now it was the complete opposite"

I was not going to argue with her at this point, I looked up from my pizza to make sure she was done before I started.

"Look… I am not even going to sweat it guys really… it's the past it happened there was nothing either of you could have done, he would have found any reason to leave me…..he was just waiting for something…I even knew from the beginning he was saying goodbye"

I looked at Emmett he was staring down at either his feet or the floor, I looked back to Alice as I wiped my hands on a towel.

"Bella I know you may not believe me but Edward did and does love you…" I cut her off holding one hand in the air.

"Just stop right there Alice, he probably thinks what he feels for me is love, I loved him at one point in my life, but what he has is not love, he has control issues amongst other things….I am not the stupid lamb he left behind."

"On top of all that neither of you were in the woods the day he left me…did you see that Alice…" I gave her a look then my eyes went back down to the food.

"He left me alone … broken in the woods, if I was in such danger why in the fuck would he leave me alone like that….this was his perfect escape he waited picking his time right …" it was then I had an epiphany.

" He had been laying the ground work for this for sometime, when I was in the hospital in Phoenix….." I blinked that memory away quickly, "he said I will be here as long as its good for me….fucking prick."

I can't believe I said those words out loud, with out feeling the ache in my chest even. I don't know where the boost of confidence came from…it was nice.

I swore I heard a growl, great they did not like me shit talking the wonderful brother… I glanced over to Emmett, there was dents forming in the counter where his hands were gripping the edge. This is not a good thing, oh well they needed to hear my side of it all.

"Look guys, I can see that this is not going to work, I just …" I was grabbing the counter for support, just thinking these words…it was killing me inside and I had no idea why.

"I don't want to get between you guys and your brother, ok I don't think I can ever fully forgive him."

I could not stand to look at Emmett so I looked toward Alice, she glanced at Emmett then to me… a small smile creped onto her face, " Bella…this " she motioned between her and Emmett, "has nothing to do with Edward, do you trust me Bella….trust my visions?"

As I was watching Alice, something flew past my head so fast I didn't even see what it was till I looked at Alice, seeing her holding a glass with her thumb and two fingers with the most smug smile on her face.

Fuck it I was not even going to ask, I grabbed the pizza walked it to the preheated oven and putting it in setting the timer, turning back around I saw a stare down between Alice and Emmett.

"umm hello… " I waved my hand a little, with out breaking her glare toward her brother Alice spoke up, " there is plenty of things to drink in the fridge and the glasses are there."

My eyes fallowed her fingers to the cupboard just off to the side of Emmett's head, well here goes nothing…its not like he's going to bite.

As I walked over to him I started to laugh in my head at what could have been one of my dumbest vampire jokes to date.

I was just about to him when the staring contest was broke, he looked down at me with a big grin flicking the cupboard door open with one finger. Me not even paying attention to where I had stopped reached over to grab a glass.

Thinking I put my hand on the counter top to brace myself for the reach I noticed the counter felt like jeans, OK that was it, no more drinking for me cause really now…I should have noticed I was standing right in between Emmett's legs, and not just standing there I had a firm grip on his thigh as I was leaning over.

I slowly backed down from my tiptoes not even wanting to know how red my face was right now. I looked up at Emmett, his eyes were closed. First thought that ran through my mind was great he didn't even want to look at me.

There was something different about this look, I sure had no idea what the hell was going on. Edward once said how perceptive I was….I sure the fuck don't feel that way lately.

I can be big about this, I took the glass reluctantly taking my hand form he leg, where did that come from? I walked over to the fridge getting some juice, not even caring what it was.

"ok if one of you don't talk soon I am going to run out of here screaming, this is crazy I can not take this shit" I set the glass down a little harder then I meant to, but it got my point across.

"Why in the hell are you two acting so strange… and by strange I mean strange even for vampires…. " I looked from him to her , from her to him again.

I was looking to Emmett for answers, whatever it was I wanted to hear I wanted to hear it from him. When he spoke up my heart fluttered, oh for the love of fuck!

"Bella…..sorry we didn't want it to be like this, I guess we just don't know how we can make it up to you, or how you can even forgive us, when I say us its not just me and Alice, the whole family…." when he said whole family I grabbed the counter my eyes bugging out as far as they could I am sure.

He jumped down and took me in his arms, there goes my goddamn heart again. He used two fingers to raise my chin so I was looking him in the eyes, "sorry Bells, I didn't mean the whole family I meant Esme, Carlisle, Alice, me and now…." he looked at Alice then back to me "now Jasper, he called Alice just last night, he will be coming home soon"

I started to panic inside, if Jasper was coming back to Alice does that mean Rosalie was coming back to Emmett, this thought made my insides turn. Wait I should not feel like this I should be happy for Emmett if his wife was coming back to him, all I ever want is my family to be happy, even telling myself that it still was not sitting well.

Alice spoke up, she had at some point moved right behind me, I just stayed where I was. "Bella, Jasper is really worried about coming home, he does not want to make you more upset or uncomfortable, he thinks he is the last person you want to see, he will stay away if you want him to."

I could not keep a husband and wife away from each other…or was she saying she would stay away too, my head was spinning again, "Alice I don't blame Jasper for anything, I don't have a problem with any of you guys….except Edward."

"Hell even if Rosalie wanted to come join the party here it is…" that came out really catty, I looked back to Emmett's face to gauge his reaction, I caught him wincing, great now I hurt him more.

"Ok, lets get this all out right now, you guys can tell the rest of the family when they all come back I don't want to repeat it four more times….I am not mad anymore…I am not that hurt anymore…its done, over, I am not an unreasonable person I know why you did it, I just needed some time to adjust to …well everything….ok do we got this…so no more walking on eggshells around me, just be the family I had before."

At the last line the emotions hit their limit, I was sobbing uncontrollably into Emmett's chest, he or Alice I was not sure, was stroking my hair, Emmett's face pressed to the top of my head, we stayed like this till the pizza timer went off and I jumped about three feet off the ground, in the possess hurting my head on Emmett's chin.

He caught me once more with one arm, leaning down he whispered "I told you….I got you," with a cocky grin he placed me upright as Alice was taking the pizza out of the oven she had a smug ass smile on her face.

"Hey Alice….." she looked up from cutting the pizza, I sat on the bar stool at the island leaning on my elbows, "I have been here for two hours and you have yet to play or even mention Bella Barbie, what gives are you losing your touch…"

Behind me Emmett did the 'oooooo, its on now' I just kept my smart ass smile on Alice, it took her a whole five seconds to think it over then she started to bounce. "Oh its going to be great after you eat we are going to have a blast."

Alice put a plate in front of me that had a perfectly cut slice of pizza on it, I picked at the crust a little waiting for it to cool more, I was hit with the most evil great plan, "hey Alice…Emmett, I know I just had a temper tantrum about you guys not having to make anything up to me….well I was thinking…."

They were both listening intensively HA… I had 'em. "ok here's the thing, it would make me feel so much better if you both were to eat a whole slice of this pizza…" even though it hurt, I thought back to the Forks High lunch room and Edward picking up a slice, taking a bit with out even batting an eyelash.

Alice's little nose wrinkled up and Emmett just blinked a few times then slapped Alice in the back, "how the hell didn't you see that coming, some psychic you are."

I sat back with my arms folded waiting for the show, it was Emmett who went first, eating the slice like a pro frat boy….the whole thing in at once, "you have to chew and swallow too" I was holding in laughing as I added more stipulations.

It took him a little bit but he got it down, I think he actually turned a little green, before I could erupt into my hysterical laughing fit I looked to Alice, who in turn looked like someone burned her whole wardrobe.

Emmett ruffled her hair, "come on itty bitty, its not that hard we have all had to eat this shit before, just think of it that way" I was not sure if it was his words or him touching her hair he got the pixie of death look…then she did it, in a few more bites then him she actually did it.

I was folded over the island laughing, her face was so much more priceless then his was, it was like watching fear factor in person. I was holding my sides with intervals of whimpers it hurt to laugh this hard.

I looked up and they were both gone, I looked around the door leading outside from the kitchen was open, I got up and walked out there, nice back yard but there were so many trees, no light except the moonlight reflecting off a pool there was steam coming from the pool which told me it was heated.

I stepped off the last step and called out…"Emmett, come on this isn't funny… whatever your doing isn't going to work I am not scared." Truth be told I was freaking the fuck out at this point.

I heard a feminine sound to the left of me, I looked over there, taking a few steps…"Alice?" (a/n…I was going to end it here but because its taken me so long to post I will give ya'll more…..this is my peace offering )

The last sound of Alice's name left my lips and I was sailing over the ground, some of the breath taken from me, then warm water. What the fuck?! I broke the surface spinning around looking for what or who just happened, then I was picked up from underneath.

It was then I realized the huge rock like arms I was in…."Damnit Emmett" he was laughing as he got a better grip on me wrapping my legs around his waist, then taking my arms, putting them around his neck.

He wiped the wet hair strands from my face, I closed my eyes at his touch, who would have ever thought Emmett would have such a feather soft touch. I reopened my eyes again as my back was pinned against the side of the pool, hell I didn't even know we were moving in the water.

"what were you doing out there, trying to give the human a heart attack…" I spoke just above a whisper, his reply came out just as soft.

"no.. I would have heard it if you having a heart attack Bella, I can hear your heart…" he gave me a bright smile, "we were getting rid of the shit you made us eat….we can eat it we just can't leave it in for very long"

Even as he was telling me all this our eyes have not looked away at all, " so….after that you decided we needed to take a swim in our clothes non the less."

Instead of a reply his lips pressed to mine, my head resting on the ledge of the pool his fingers slid from my collar bone, slightly up my neck, back to the base of my neck where he grabbed my hair pulling me closer to him.

My lips moved in perfect sync with his, until I felt his tongue graze my bottom lip, my lips parted slightly, enough for our tongues to meet and for a soft moan to escape my lips into his mouth.

So looks like I was wrong, I did get another chance at those lips.
