Hello everybody- I'm back. Sorry about the delay, was in Melbourne, shopping :D. And guess what day it is... MY 14TH BIRTHDAY!!! (25th August) YEAH!!! Lol. So here's chapter 10. Yes, the big 10. But then again, as you can imagine, this might not be very pretty. Let's hope I only have to write this one once lol.
Emmett's POV
I pushed Jasper playfully as Carlisle unlocked the front door. I heard a load of what sounded like crying, but there's no way anyone's crying. No way.
I stepped into the house, to find the atmosphere extremely tense. Jaz stiffened next to me, and narrowed his eyes.
I walked in to find my wife crouched over herself, sobbing into her hands. I walked over to comfort her, but she cringed away from me, pushing me half way across the room.
"How dare you touch me," She muttered. What the hell?! What has happened?
"Rose, what?" I said.
"Oh please. Don't talk to me, you jerk." She yelled, as pushed me again. I looked at her questionably, and she looked like she was holding back sobs... and anger.
"What did I do?" I said, holding my arms out in annoyance.
"Like you don't know!" She snapped. "Anyway, it's not just you! It's all of you!"
She stomped into the kitchen, I assume to calm down. Maya followed her, never taking a hand off her. I looked skeptically, and put my hands on my forehead.
"Oh please! Cut the crap, Alice! Like you didn't know; you think I'm stupid?!" Rose shrieked.
"Rosalie, I—"
"No. Don't talk to me." She growled, walking back into the living room. Alice came in after her, frowning excessively. I looked at her, but she just shook her head. I frowned.
"I'm leaving. Right now." She growled, and pushed past me. I stared after her, watching as her blonde hair swished delicately around her back. She ran up the stairs, and I heard a pained cry from our bedroom, and cringed at the horrible sound.
I heard somebody running around on the next floor up, and put my face in my hands. Esme had her arms around my shoulders, while everyone looked around in confusion. Clearly, everyone was confused.
Rosalie came down the stairs, carrying a huge suitcase. Her makeup was smudged. I guess she was rubbing her eyes and face. Poor thing... She shot me a death glare before setting her suitcase down.
She took a deep breath, and looked down. Her hands were clenched, her teeth together. "I'd just like to say... Esme, Carlisle I want to thank you for taking me in all those years ago," She had her eyes closed, talking through her teeth. Esme gasped, and touched her arms. "It doesn't mean I can forgive you. Also..."
Everyone was crowded around us. I reached out to her, but she pushed my hand away.
I felt like crying, rolling up in a ball in shoving a stake through my heart. Watching this was doing that already.
"I am... never coming back." She finished, before darting out the door. We all gasped, and Esme let out a pained sob, walking towards the now open front door. I comforted my mother, hugging her to me, while letting me own sobs escape.
Rosalie's POV
I sped in my convertible toward the airport, hoping that I haven't missed my plane. I pushed the car to go faster, as I sobbed.
I didn't want to leave. I didn't have to leave. But I knew it as right. Maya helped me decide that. My friend, my saviour. Thank god she told me about that, or I'd still be with my deceiving 'husband.' I'd like to say ex now... I can't force myself to think it.
Sometimes I wish Em and I had never gotten together. Then, we'd just be friends, having fun, 7 days of the week. Like Alice and Emmett do. Just playing around, not attracted to each other like we were. Dang, he's so hot... I shook my head, shaking the thought out of my head. I can't think like that anymore. He's not a part of me any longer.
I clenched my teeth together, going over what I packed to take my mind off the pain. I wish I could take painkillers... Emotional painkillers.
I packed my favourite journal of all time, where I've written everything in from the day I became a vampire. Noting what I've done, who I've met, what I've hunted, what I've thought over the day.
I didn't pack much. I don't want to live in a house with a lot lying vampires, who I thought were family. How wrong I was. So stupid. The signs were there... No contact, The constant midnight trips to god knows where. I fell for all their crap, and now I never have to see them again. The thought made me thought made me sad, but also... free.
I turned into the airport car park, swerving the car into the nearest parking space. Who cares what happens to it. This was my past life. I jumped out of the car, and grabbed my duffel bag. Men stared as I walked past them, but I just shrugged to myself, and began staring at the notice board.
It read:
Q543, to Alabama, 5:35, Gate 5. I nodded to myself, and walked towards my gate. I'm at number 3, so I should be there soon.
The gate was empty; clearly, it wasn't even close to 5:35. Oh well. I'll write an entry in my journal while I wait.
I would have thought Maya would have joined me to Mobile, but she insisted she stay home and 'take care of the family'. It's understandable. They all seemed pretty distressed when I left.
I took out my journal, and grabbed a pen. I decided to read a past entry, just because I can. That was one of Emmett's phrases... I let out a sob, but cupped my hand over my mouth to muffle it. It read:
-Tuesday, 5th July, 2009-
Today has been... Interesting.
First, we went hunting, as we do, and found a dead child. Or I thought he was dead. Carlisle and Esme took him home, and he was as cute as a button. Black curls, ocean blue eyes... My dream son. At first, I thought I should leave him alone. But, he came to me. He hugged me! I felt so loved. Then, later on, as he cried, I hugged him close to me. It was truly a great day. My heart felt healed, even though I've only known him for 2 hours. My little boy...
I wiped my face, and cried into my hands. This was the first entry which featured Emmett. When he was only 4...
I turned to a new page, and began writing...
Jasper's POV
What's happened? Everything's changed for the worst! I don't like it at all! The atmosphere was depressing. I felt like sobbing, too. Little Alice was crying into my chest, as I lightly bent down, and pressed my forehead softly to hers. I lightly kissed her, before pressing her to me.
Maya was comforting Emmett; a little too closely if you ask me. Emmett was sobbing; as you would be. Esme was crying, as well, while Carlisle hugged her. Oliver was sitting awkwardly on the couch, clearly feeling out of place while the rest of our family mourned. Bella and Edward weren't crying, but were holding each other with sad looks. As for me... I'm now sobbing, too.
"Shh... Shh, baby," I cooed into her ear. Alice continued to cry, and I felt like killing someone because of everyone's pain. Not literally. "It's all going to be okay, she'll come back."
Ali looked up at me, her tearless eyes looking glassy. "No, she won't she's gone. She's at the airport, getting ready to go. Anyway, she told me she'd never forgive me, and she didn't want to talk!" Her voice cracked on the last word, and another sob broke out of her chest.
I suddenly felt a strange burst of... I don't know what it was, but I felt like it had to be done. I pulled Alice to my side, so I could see Emmett.
"Emmett," He looked up at me, his eyes drooping. "You're not seriously letting her go, are you?"
"What choice do I have?" He hissed. "She hates me."
"And you don't even know why." I said, feeling suddenly hopeful. Everyone looked up from their loved ones, with a sparkle in their eyes.
"Jasper is right," Edward said. Everyone nodded along. Maya took in some breath, and I looked at her in confusion. We all did.
"Nothing." She shrugged.
"You're right." Emmett said, pulling out of Maya's hold. "I can't let her go without knowing why."
I smiled; things might look up! We all ran outside, except for Maya, who stood firm in the living room. Oliver was looking at her in disgust.
"At least have the guts to come with us," He growled, before shaking his head and running out the door. I felt a sign of guilt, sadness, hurt...
But, what was Oliver talking about? I don't know. I thought Edward could read his mind, but then I remembered Maya asked Bella to block her and her brother's minds. Fair enough.
Alice was tugging on my sleeve, motioning for me to get in the car. I nodded, as I saw Maya walk outside behind me.
We got to the airport within 10 minutes, a normally 20 minute drive. We were all in a hurry, jumpy even, hoping to make it in time. I felt the same way, especially since Alice was sitting next to me, smiling her head off, and squealing.
I ran through the airport, and an annoyingly slow pace. Human, sadly, but we all came to a halt at the notice board.
"She's going to Phoenix! Gate 5, let's go!" Alice said, as we all began running through the dark, and now empty, airport.
Gate 5 was just clearing out, and I felt a glint of hope when I saw Rosalie's blonde head, forwarding out of the doors. Emmett ran to her, as they stared each other down. The rest of the family waited in the wing, watching them.
Emmett's POV
I stared at my love, with glassy eyes.
We stood like this for awhile, before she turned around, and began walking for the doors. I grabbed her hand, and spun her around to face me. "Please don't leave me."
She looked down, then looked up at me. Her lips were in a hard line, and she shook her head. I gasped, as she stalked out of sight.
She was truly gone.
"No!" I yelled. I knew she could hear me. "Don't leave me. Rosie!"
It was a failed attempt. I turned around, to see the family in the same state as we were at the house. Sobbing...
I put my face in my hands, and stumbled to the nearest plane seat. I put my face in my hands, while I sobbed again. I will never see her again, in my life...
I felt a strange crunch under my foot, and looked down. There was a note with perfect handwriting, and I could see my name coming through the paper. I scooped up the paper, and began to read:
-Saturday, 20th December, 2009-
I feel like my world's a mirror, and its just been dropped.
It the short space of 10 minutes, my whole existence has turned to dust. I knew it was coming. I'm just thankful Maya told me Emmett doesn't even love me, before I had to go through the heart break of him telling me himself. I don't think I could have coped with that.
So now, I'm leaving forever. Going to Alabama, where I will start a new life. I'll go to a school, relatively the one I went to with him... I'll try and meet some others of my kind, and make friends. Anything to take my mind off—
The writing ended then, as I sat stunned at what I had just read. The family gathered around me, reading over my shoulder. I heard the occasional gasp and growl, but I was too busy being frozen.
I'm just thankful Maya told me Emmett doesn't even love me? Where did that come from? What did Maya do? Of course I love Rosalie! She's my wife, my best friend...
So how could Maya do this to us? Break us up? How could she! Stupid little weasel... Where is she?
I looked around, ready to start screaming. I felt so mad, that she was the reason Rose was gone, I wanted to rip her little head off. Little bitch.
"Calm down, Emmett." Edward said, through his teeth. He wasn't doing a very good job either.
"We have to find her." I said, through my teeth.
"Which one?" Jasper growled.
"Maya."
So... That was heart breaking. I hope I wrote that right. It seems right.
Oh and I just want to remind you, to please vote for Little Emmett for that award. Thanku!
And apologies again for not updating in forever. That was mean :P
