A/N: Okay so, Angelycdevil (who is wonderful and awesome and all the good things) wrote me a birthday fic (AAAAAHHHHHH) Save that Light is a Destiel fic so if you Love Supernaturl you should go read it. I love it so much. Also, MyHerion01 has this story called The Missing. It is the most original fic that I have read in quite some time. Go check them out, yes?
Chapter 7
"Man, you are the luckiest and stupidest bastard that I have ever seen."
Emmett was not gentle when he was pissed. The trucker had beat me up pretty good before he and Jasper got us out of there. Emmett didn't enjoy causing pain, but I was pretty sure that he was enjoying it as he cleaned me up. Still, it was better him than Jasper who was quietly fuming on the couch.
"Your nose is broken, but you're damn lucky that it wasn't your jaw. What the fuck were you thinkin'?"
"It wasn't a big deal..."
"It wasn't a big deal." Jasper's deeper voice crudely mimicked my words. "Because you don't fucking think. Did you happen to think about what would happen to us if you had broken your jaw?"
"It wouldn't have happened like that."
"Just answer the damn question."
I sighed, and then yelped as the cloth Emmett used to clean a cut on my face burned. "I wouldn't have been able to sing."
"And if you hadn't been able to sing, what then, hum? We'd have to cancel the rest of the tour. Did you think about what would happen to Emmett, or I, or the guys on the crew that we're responsible for?"
"No, it's not..."
"Look, we're trying to be sympathetic here, Edward." Emmett didn't sound angry like Jasper, more resigned. "But there is only so much that we can take. The way you act affects everyone. you know that, right?"
Through the haze of alcohol, and maybe a mild concussion, I felt a little shame. They were right. I had only been thinking about me. Bella would have been appalled.
I quickly pushed that thought away. I didn't want to think about her or what she would think. I'd let down enough people in my life without thinking about her.
The problem was I didn't know how to stop.
"Just find something to focus on, Edward," Emmett muttered despondently. "Before you drag us all down with you."
