Love.

What a beautiful word. And I had it.

Isabella Marie Swan I love you. I told her in my head as I smiled.

Love.

Chapter 4

"Dad, where are you?" I headed up towards my old room; everyone followed me up the stairs. There were six of us crowed in the hallway watching my dad. He looked like he was having trouble picking up a couple of my bags.

"Dad, do you need any help?"

"No, I'm good Bells. I'm just wondering if you packed a ton of bricks in here or something"

I had to laugh at that. Though I bought all my things from my old room in Phoenix with my mom… Ok. Maybe that would feel like a ton of bricks.

"Here dad, let me help." I went to go help but Emmett picked up a bag before I could pick it up.

"Someone who looks like they just got their nails done shouldn't be lifting anything. You could have broke a nail"

He laughed and I pushed him and faked like I was mad at him.

"Well then, 'Mr. I'm so strong." I crossed my arms across my chest. He just laughed and went to go help Charlie.

The guys lifted my luggage into my room while Rosalie, Alice and I unpacked everything. It took us about three hours to get everything put away.

My room looked absolutely gorgeous!

"Bella, we have to pick out what you wear to school tomorrow Monday!" Alice all but screamed at me.

"Oh Alice, I like your plan" Rosalie got a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Oh Great, alright, let's go shopping!"

I asked Charlie if it was ok that I wouldn't be spending dinner with him. He said it was alright and that he was going to get the boys to help him put together the bookshelf I brought from Phoenix.

All three of the guys looked scared.

Right before we left Charlie said "Bella, don't take your car! Take Alice's!"

Man! I thought he was going to forget about my car for a minute and let me drive.

"Alright dad, we will be back late."

Alice and Rosalie looked at me questioningly. I just pointed to my baby in the driveway. Their mouths dropped open.

"Bella, how did you get this car?" Alice squeaked.

"I bought it," my eyes wondering around the front yard.

Rosalie ran to my car and started checking it out. She was always interested in cars, even when we were younger.

"Bella, look at this car. It's amazing! V10 engine, Leather cream seats, GPS, Heated seats. Oh I think I died and went to heaven" Rose faked like she fainted. (I would have nearly fainted too. That car is awesome!)

"I can't drive it today though, Chief Swan told me to go in Alice's today. That and I don't want to tip anyone off that I'm here. Even if I do love my baby"

They said there oks and we all hopped in Alice's yellow Porsche. This car was so Alice!

Four hours later

We were walking through the mall on our way out of Gucci when a couple guys walked up to us.

"Hey there Beautiful" One of them said to me.

"Um, hi" Then we kept walking. Those guys kept following us.

We turned right. They turned right. We went in a store. They went in a store.

I asked Rosalie if she could get a hold of one of the boys. I had just realized I never got anybodies number…

She said she was already on it.

Emmett POV

We had just finished putting together Bella's bookcase. I just wanted to love her even more; it was amazing she had all of these books.

Edward got a text from Rosalie saying something was happening at the mall and that we needed to come there.

We weren't done putting all of the books on her bookcase so we told Charlie that the girls said they needed help, And that we would help him with the rest of the bookcase later. Then we all got in my jeep and headed to the mall in Seattle.

When we got to the mall Edward texted Rosalie asking where they were. She said they were hiding out in near a cell phone booth in the mall.

We found them then, but didn't see anything out of the blue. They waved us over.

"Hey what's up?" My brow was furrowed, because I didn't see anything wrong.

Then I noticed what it was.

"Hey buddy, go find your own girl. These three happened to be taken." A guy a bit shorter than me said. He had two guys around Bella's height backing him up.

Jasper whispered in Alice's ear if they knew these guys. She said no.

I walked up to him squaring my shoulders." She's your girl? I don't even think she knows you. Bella do you know him?"

Bella shook her head, but Alice had a feeling of what I was about to do and pulled my arm" Come on Emmett. Let it go. We have to go home."

I ignored Alice, the guy looking at me like he was challenging me to do something. I didn't think about it and let my arm pull back and punch him square in the face. His two cronies came after me and I punched on in the gut and the other in the face. Then Jasper and Edward came to help me out.

BELLA POV

We all tried to break the boys up from the fight. But they just fought.

That's when I saw it.

Cameras started snapping, People had microphones.

The Press found me. Oh no!

Then the mall cops came to break up the fight. But they arrested us all thinking we were all fighting.

At the malls prison

"I told you officer, we weren't fighting" Alice said for the um-teenth time.

"Alice, give it up" Edward said. He sounded tired. I guess it's because Alice has been saying that for awhile.

I used my cell phone and called Charlie and told him where we were. He was pissed. He said that he would be down there in a sec and that there better be a good reason we are in custody in the mall.

We told the officer that my dad was the police chief of Forks and he told us that he should be embarrassed of me.

I got so mad. Then I had an idea.

"Please, Mr.…Um…Pratt. Do you know about Victoria Secret Models?"

Everyone looked at me questioningly

"Um yes, but whatever you are talking about kid. It still isn't getting you and your friends out of it."

"But I'm a model. Don't you recognize me?"

He looked at me. "I can't believe it! No wonder you look familiar. Yes, Yes, Sorry about that Ms Swan. I'll just let you go." Then he paused."Only if I can get an autograph.

"Well of course, Thank you so much. Just don't tell anybody"

"Hey, we want autographs too!" The guy that was hitting on me said.

I gave them my autograph, telling them not to tell. And we were free to go. We walked out laughing that the other guys were still there. We walked to our cars.

We ran into Charlie on the way to the cars.

"Bella, what happened? Why are you out here? Shouldn't you still be in the mall?"

"No dad, the officer set us free."

Charlie narrowed his eyes at me. "We will talk about this when we get home Bella; Right now we are all going home." Boy he wasn't happy.

We said ok altogether then Emmett said he needed to talk to me. We made a deal that me and Jasper would switch vehicles.

Emmett POV

That was awesome how Bella got us out of trouble. I just wanted to hug her and never let go. I asked her if I could talk to her on the ride back home. So I let Edward drive, and I got in the backseat with Bella.

"So Emmett, what's up?"

"Well Bella…" I wanted to tell her everything. That I loved her, hat she was gorgeous, that she was amazing; but I kind of chickened out."… I just wanted to tell you that was awesome how you bailed us out back there. You could have just left and acted like nothing was going on. You're amazing. I—"I stopped myself before I said what I think I was going to say. She was probably going to think I'm crazy and never speak to me ever again.

"You what, Emmett?

"I'm just amazed at how much you have changed."

He eyes looked down to her lap," Oh". There was so much disappear I couldn't bear it.

I took my finger and nudged her chin up so she was looking at me. "I meant that as a good thing"

"Aw, Thanks Emmy-bear." She leaned on my chest, and then she started yawning.

"Anytime Bella-bean, anytime" I whispered.I started playing with her hair.

Then she fell asleep.

BELLA POV

I was having the most amazing dream. I dreamt that Emmett said he loved me and then we kissed. Then I got woken up.

"Bella, wake up. Were at your house" I was being nudged

"Huh?" I looked up to see Emmett.

"We are at your house. Your dad said he wanted all of us in the living room."
