Enjoy Chapter 10!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight blah blah blah

After another week in the hospital I was allowed to leave. I hadn't talked to Emmett sense I told him to leave, he never came by nor did any of the other Cullen's. When I walked in my bedroom all of my flowers, balloons and stuffed animals from the hospital were sitting around my room. I sighed as I sat on my bed and dumped the bag of hats Alice had bought me. I placed them on the hooks hanging on my wall and laid down. The pain medicine they had me on made me to sleepy to function so I would be out of school for the next few days but my mom got all my assignments I would miss so I could catch up which was a good thing because I'd missed about 2 and half weeks of school. I closed my eyes and the next thing I remember was someone knocking on my window. I rolled over and seen Emmett crouched down on my window seal looking at me. I stood up and walked over to the window and opened it.

"Hey, sorry to wake you up but Alice said you were home and I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Emmett said as he climbed threw my window.

"It's okay. Yea, I'm fine thanks." I smiled. "Look I'm really sorry about what I said at the hospital. I was just sad about loosing my hair and I shouldn't have taken it out on you." I sat down on my bed.

Emmett sat beside me, "Its okay I understand. I knew you were just sad so I decided to give you some space and let you get threw it but then I realized that your shouldn't go threw this alone and I should be here know matter how many times you tell me to leave." He grinned.

"Good because I really don't think I could do this alone." I sighed and rested my head on his arm.

Emmett wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my hat. "So what does it look like under there?" Emmett smiled.

"A mess. They haven't taken my staples out yet and they left some pieces of hair. My mom is going to try to fix it when the staples come out and then she's going to take me wig shopping." I said.

"Well, at least you're trying to look on the bright side." Emmett smiled.

"Trying is the keyword. I still can't believe my hair is gone. I keep thinking I'll wake up and it'll be my birthday and all of this was a horrible nightmare." I said.

Emmett looked at the door and in a flash he was in my closet. I looked confused as my mom opened my door and walked in. She sat down on the bed beside me and handed me a glass of water and 2 pain pills.

"How are you feeling?" My mom asked.

I shrugged, "Could be better I guess."

"Could've been worse too. Your father and I talked to Dr. Cullen about helping him get Emmett a new car even though it wasn't your fault because you weren't driving but we still feel responsible but he said that his insurance will cover the car and he offered to help us get you a car sense he feels responsible about the whole incident." My mom said.

"Wow really?" I looked at her.

My mom nodded, "Yes but your dad and I are going to pick it out."

"Tell Dr. Cullen I said thanks but no thanks. If you and dad have the money to buy me a car then that's great just find me a car you can afford but I really don't want any of the Cullen's feeling guilty about any of this, it wasn't their fault." I told my mom and Emmett even though I couldn't see him I knew he could hear me.

"If that's what you want Riley but I have to worn you it's not a lot of money." My mom said.

I shrugged, "O well then I'll take what I can get."

My mom patted my hat and I winced. "Sorry I forgot." She sighed.

"It's okay." I smiled.

My mom stood and walked out of the room closing the door behind herself. Emmett emerged from the closet when he was sure she was gone and sat back down beside me.

"Why don't you want Carlisle helping you get a car? Alice feels very guilty about all of this and it was she who was going to give you the money." Emmett said as he looked at me.

"It's not anyone's fault. I'll be happy with any car I get at least I won't have to drive my mom's anymore. Speaking of car what are you going to do about a car now?" I wondered.

"It's being delivered tomorrow." Emmett smiled.

"What kind?" I asked.

"A Hummer. I don't think Mercedes screams 'macho man' so I thought a Hummer would be perfect." He smiled.

"Macho Man? Is that what you think you are?" I laughed.

"What's so funny? What do you see me as?" He looked at me.

I thought for a minute and smiled, "I just see you as Emmett. Not a vampire or a macho man. Just Emmett" I smiled.

Emmett smiled back and kissed my forehead. I yawned slightly.

"You sleep now." He whispered as he helped me back on my bed and threw the covers over me. I closed my eyes as I curled up and I was asleep in seconds.

I dreamed that I was still laying in the car curled up bleeding to death. I could feel the warm blood running down my face and hear the splitters as it pooled up beside me. I tried to wipe the blood away but when I brought my hand up it was decaying. I woke up in a cold sweat breathing hard. It took me a second to remember where I was as I looked around I noticed Emmett sitting beside me looking at one of my magazines. He looked at me when I sat up.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he put the magazine down.

"Nothing, I just had a bad dream." I said as I tried to steady my breathing. I laid back down and curled up next to Emmett who put his arm around me. I fell asleep a few minutes later, the coolness from Emmett helped calm me down a lot faster and just having him here with me I felt safe.

I woke up late the next morning. For someone that's been asleep for almost 2 weeks I was still tried, I blame the pain medicine. I noticed Emmett sitting very still beside me; he looked like a statue sitting on my bed. I smiled as I sat up and looked at the clock.

"Its 11 o'clock why aren't you at school?" I wondered.

"I thought I'd take a Riley Holiday. Your parents are gone for the day and it's a sunny day so I thought we'd stay in a watch TV and have a Riley Holiday sense we didn't get to celebrate your birthday." He smiled."Sounds like the best birthday ever," I smiled back, "but let me jump in the shower real quick and I'll be right back to celebrate with you."

Emmett nodded and I climbed out of bed and grabbed some clothes and a hat. I walked out of my room and into the bathroom to jump in the shower. When I was done I put on my sweatpants, a t-shirt and a white skull cap until I remembered something. I walked out of the bathroom and back into my bedroom right to the window; I looked outside and realized it was sunny outside. I turned back to Emmett and smiled.

"What?" He asked.

"It's sunny outside." I smiled.

"I know. I told you that remember?" He looked at me confused.

"You told me you'd show me what happens to you in the sun one day and it's sunny outside so I want to see." I said.

"Is your backyard fenced in?" He wondered.

I nodded. He stood up and we walked downstairs, into the kitchen and out the back door. We stood under the patio for a minute as Emmett took his shirt off. I took his shirt from him when he handed it too me and watched him as he stepped out into the sunlight. I was amazed how his pale skin lit up like there were thousands of diamonds on it. I walked toward him and stood beside him.

"It looks like you've been bejeweled." I said as I looked up at him.

He laughed as he looked down at me, "That's one way of putting it."

"It's beautiful. You're beautiful." I smiled.

Emmett grabbed the hat from my head and pulled it off. I tried to cover my head up but he pulled my arms down.

"You're beautiful." He smiled back.
