A/N: Hello, everyone! Before I get into the good stuff, I really want to thank everyone who likes my writing. I know my updates take long, but you guys are loyal and supportive anyway and it means a lot! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and as always please review!

I watched him walk away down the hall. I'm not sure how long I'd been standing there when Emmett came up behind me and put his arms around my waist. He kissed my cheek and nuzzled his face in my neck. When he noticed that I was despondent, he leaned down and ask me what was wrong. I wasn't sure if I should be direct and tell him that I just met our reason for peril or be breezy and try to blow it off. Apparently my mind was choosing for me, and I ended up saying

"Have you met the new guy?" My voice still sound slightly dazed from my own encounter with him.

Emmett looked puzzled and thought for a moment before he responded.

"Do you mean Edward Cullen? Yeah, I've seen him around, I had fifth period with him. Odd guy, it felt like he was staring at me the entire class."

I was positive now that Edward was the 'it' Emmett has mentioned last night. I mean why else would he have had strange encounter with both Em and I already? Emmett tapped my shoulder, effectively ending my train of thought. While I was daydreaming, Em had asked me if there was a reason for my sudden curiosity.

"Oh, I'm sure I'm just overreacting. I almost fell in the hall, and he caught me. He was just odd, and I got this weird vibe from him. He looked at me like I was his prey… and his eyes! They were most peculiar shade of red…do you think they were contacts?" As I continued musing over weird-wards eye color, I failed to notice that beside me, Emmett had gone rigid. I put my hand to his face in an attempt to calm him down. His posture relaxed slightly but when he turned to look at me his eyes were blazing.

"Em, are you okay?" His hands that were still on my waist became tighter and tighter and though I dare not ask him to let go, the increasing pressure had me fearing for my poor hips and fearing the reason behind the force. Emmett took a couple of deep breaths and I waited patiently while he tried to compose himself.

"It's just extremely…bothersome" the lack of restraint in his voice told that bothersome was not nearly a strong enough word for what he was feeling. "To know that he had his hands on my girl. And on top of that he was clearly flirting with you!" His voice had become louder again and I knew he was trying hard not to punch a wall or something.

"Shh…" I soothed, "You know that I'm only yours" I pecked him on the lips "plus Edward really creeps me out."

Emmett chuckled and he seemed to be satisfied with my reassurances. We walked into the cafeteria and headed toward our regular spots…only to realize that someone was already seated there.

I swear I heard Emmett growl, as we made our way over to our usually empty table which was now inhabited by none other then Edward Cullen.

I squeezed his hand, telling him to ignore him, and this wasn't a huge deal.

As we reached the table, I saw Edward's ominous red eyes flash down to where my hand was joined with Emmett's. Now I might have been over-analyzing things but I swore I saw him sneer at our PDA.

Emmett sat and pulled me down next to him. There was tense silence and I could feel the emotions in the air, threatening to suffocate me. It was Edward's musical voice that broke the ice.

"I save you from falling, and I don't even get a hello?" he said, amusement laced in his voice.

"I…" I began, but was cut off by Emmett's tightly controlled voice.

"You don't have to say anything you don't want to say Bella" his tone was strained from trying to control his obviously building anger. Edward gave a loud harsh laugh.

"And who do we have here?" Edward inquired. "Bella's bodyguard perhaps?"

I could tell that, that was the end of Emmett's patience. He stood from the table looming over Edward. His nostrils were flaring, and his eyes were doing that odd blazing thing again.

"Not that it's any of your business, but I'm her boyfriend. I'll have you know though, that I could be her bodyguard as well, if needed." It was clearly a threat, and if it were anyone else, I'm sure they would have run for the hills by now, considering that Emmett was pretty huge and he sounded like he ate nails for breakfast, but Edward didn't flinch.

Instead, he stood up from the table as well, matching Em for height but paling in comparison to his massive width.

"I assure you that you can't protect her from everything in this world." Edward's voice was eerily calm, but I could sense the threat behind his words and it made me shrink further back into my seat.

I noticed that as this was going on, some other students had gathered near our table, probably anticipating a fight. Something told me that I couldn't let it come to a physical confrontation, because even though Emmett was strong and skilled, I knew he wouldn't win this time.

As I stood and began tugging on his hand, praying silently that he would let this go and just leave with me, he turned to me, then back to Edward and looked him right in the eye.

"She is mine. Only mine." Emmett said before he grabbed my hand roughly and began towing me out of the cafeteria.

Before I could block it out, Edward's eerie voice floated to my ears and I heard him say "not for long."


We made it all the way to the school parking lot before I dared to speak to him.

"Are you alright, Emmett?" Yes it was a really dumb question, considering he was anything but alright, but I couldn't think of anything else.

He stopped the pacing and muttering he had been doing, and came over to me. He wrapped in one of his signature bear hugs, and stroked my hair, and so quietly that I almost didn't hear he whispered 'I'm sorry'.

I pulled out of his embrace and I was startled to see unshed tears in his eyes. Never had I seen my Emmett cry. It broke my heart and I pulled him back to me.

"Sorry for what? You can't possibly think you did anything wrong?" I was shocked to say the least. Everything that had gone down was clearly a by-product of Edward's instigating.

"No, I don't think I did anything wrong, but...I'm about to." he said. Okay now I was confused. I swear today had been the most emotional day I'd ever had in my life.

"Emmett what do you mean? You-you're not...breaking up with me are you?" My voice cracked on the last word, and I could feel the hysteria building in my chest. What would I do if he didn't want to be with me anymore? We'd only been together a friggin day, was I really that terrible of a girlfriend?

"No Bella, I'm not breaking up with you, but you might want to breakup with me, after this." I relaxed, after he said he wasn't leaving me, but I still didn't have any answers and I was losing my patience.

"Of course I'm not breaking up with you! I love you, now spit it out!" I didn't normally raise my voice, so he knew when I did that I was really angry.

"Bella, I feel like something is going to happen soon. And it's not going to be good. When that time comes...I...I..." he was trying hard not to let any tears fall. Did he really think anything he said would make me leave him? I was more likely to sprout wings and fly. I took his hand in mine in an effort to comfort him. It must have worked just a little, for he continued.

"When that time comes, I don't want either of us to feel like we missed out on certain parts of our relationship." It took me a couple of minutes to process the key points of what he was saying.

"So...what you're telling me is, whenever this bad thing happens it's going to separate us, and you want to make sure we fulfill our...wants before we're separated?" He looked confused, and I was really hoping I wouldn't have to explain. I was already blushing, thinking about what I had to say next.

"You're telling me you want to have sex, right Emmett?" His eyes became comically large and he began ringing his hands, as he fumbled for words. For a second I thought I might have guessed wrong, before he gave a sigh and nodded his head.

All I could do was laugh. The adorably nervous look on his face, threw me into a fit of giggles that had me clutching my sides and tears running down my face. He thought I didn't want to do it? One: He's absolutely gorgeous! And Two: He's my boyfriend and I'm head-over-heels in love with the guy! Of course I wanted to do it.

Emmett was still standing there looking terrified and as soon as I caught my breath, I assured him I wasn't laughing at him.

"Em, why would you be nervous about asking me that? I love you for god's sake!" I gave him a kiss, and he looked relieved. He blushed then, another thing I'd never seen him do, and when he spoke his voice was timid.

"So...you want to...you know?" he looked down. I lifted his chin, and summoned my inner seductress.

"Of course, I want to you know." I ran one finger down his chest and stopped at the waistband of his jeans. I leaned up and licked the shell of his ear before I whispered

"My place or yours?" He shuddered and reached for his keys.

"Get in" he said, his voice was deep and gravely. I did as was told, and he drove us as fast as his car would go, towards my house.

Okay so there you have it! Yes, the next chapter will be a lemon! ;) I know that Emmett is a little out of character, but ohh well! Please leave me your thoughts! Also, if I do a chapter in one of the guys POV would you rather it be Ed or Em? Thanks again for the support!

-Love Taylor!:D
