Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry for not upadating in forever. PLEASE forgive me. I just have not been able to find the inspiration to write this. Through this past week of insomnia I have been able to write quite a bit. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Thanks for Reading!
First day of school: EmPov
Another year of school. This just blows! School sucks. All the perverted humans stare at MY Rosie! Part of me is proud, then part of me wants to rip them limb from limb. The way they look at her makes me sick. Only I should be able to look at her in that way!
Psh, whatever. Shes waaaay to good for them anyway. So today we got ready for school and left the house by 7:20 am. Some people may consider this waaay to early to even be up, but since I'm a vampire time really doesn't matter to me.
Eddie Boy (haha!) and Alice took his precious baby, while Rose, Jasper, and myself took the Jeep. When we pulled into the lot everyone stared like there was no tomorrow. We all got out of the cars and stood around the cars. Not two minutes later a car pulled into the lot that no one had ever seen around here before. A Black 2008 Camaro. Damn fine car. I wonder whos' it is.
They parked the car and when the driver got out, it was something none of us expected. The driver of the Camaro was a GIRL! A girl for Gods sake! She was almost as pale as us and had long brown hair. She was wearing a pair of jeans that are rediculacely tight (Skinnys I think? How should I know? I'm a dude!) and a Flyleaf tee shirt and some shoes that looked like a checker board. Her face was red, so I take it she was embarrassed. As soon as she was out of the car she went straight to the office.
The bell rang and everyone took off to their classes. I had my math class first so that's where I headed. The day went by rediculacely slow. Thank God lunch was next.
I met Rose outside of her class and we made our way to the lunch room, meeting the rest of the gang on the way there. We walked in and made our way to the lunch line, which was completely pointless. It's not like we eat anyway. Now, whenever we walk into the lunch room nobody stares like they used to when we first arrived.
We paid for our lunch and made our way over to the table we usually sit, to find a girl sitting there. She had her nose in a book so I couldn't make out her face. She must be the new girl because all the others usually stay away from our table. Their puny human instincts warn them against our presence.
Alice went around and tapped her on the shoulder. She looked up with couriosity in her eyes. She was beautiful. She had long flowing brown hair and brown eyes that seem to go on forever. Her skin was almost as pale as ours. This girl looked oddly familiar. I wonder what her name is.
"Umm, Yes? Wait, I'm sorry this must be you table or something. It was the only one that didn't have anybody, but I'll just move. I'm sorry." She said slightly nervous. She made to get up, but Alice stopped her.
"Oh, no. No worries. We'll just sit with you. Won't we guys? Hi, I'm Alice Cullen. It's nice to finally meet you." Alice told her. She sat back down and we all sat down as well.
Alice sat next on Bella's left side with Edward on Alice's right. Next to her was Rose, then me, then Jasper on Bella's right.
This girl seriously familiar. Those eyes are gorgeous. Those long brown lochs are a shade of brown that has been burned in my memory for years. This girl is my little sister, Bella. At that moment I wanted to spring across the table and cradle her in my arms, just as I wanted to when she was a little baby all alone in her room.
She's so grown up. She's got all the boys at this school wrapped around her thin pale finger. Anyone could tell just by watching as she walked by. I glanced over at Eddie Boy, and it didn't seem as if he caught those thoughts. He was too engrossed in my sister.
With my being a vampire, thinking all of this only took about 3 seconds so I didn't look stupid just staring at her for 5 minutes like a human would.
I pulled myself back into the conversation. Alice was talking to Isabella, or Bella as she preferred.
"-like that kind of girl. Anyway, I'm Alice, as you already know, and this is Edward, my boyfriend,", she motioned to Edward, who smiled ,"and this is Rosalie and her boyfriend Emmett," as gestured to Rose and myself ,"And last, but not least, this is Jasper." she finally pointed to Jazz.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you all. I'm Bella." Her voice was like music as she answered.
"Oh, we know. The whole school is a buzz with gossip of your arrival. But, of course, we don't believe everything we hear." Rose said to Bella. Rose was so sweet. I can already tell they're going to get on fine.
"Great," Bella replied, sarcasm lacing her voice," I've only been here half a day and rumors are already flying." She rolled those eyes that reminded me so much of the ones I had has a human.
"Oh, don't worry. We don't believe anything. We've always been the topic of rumors, so no worries." I told her trying to make her feel better, as big brothers are supposed to do.
"Anyway, where did you move here from?" Alice asked with curiosity.
I, of course, already knew the answer to that. She lived New York, New York, where Aunt Marie lives. I've spent more than a few nights worrying about my baby sister living in a huge city. So many things could happen. Muggings, rapes, drugs, homelessness, all of which are part of daily life in NY.
"I'm from New York. I was living with my Aunt Marie. I moved here to live with my dad." Bella told us in her soft voice.
"Oh wow. New York, like New York City? This must be a huge change." Rose said. I knew she would be thinking of all of the opportunities for good shopping in NY.
"Yeah, I've lived there my whole life. So Forks is just a bit too quiet for me. I'm used to horns blowing and sirens yelling at one in the morning." She told us.
"So, who's your dad? We probably know him, since this is such a small town." Jasper asked quietly.
I looked over at Jazz. His eyes were glued to my sister, like he couldn't ever look at her enough. He was unconsciously projecting his emotions to everyone at the table. Among his emotions were joy, happiness, and, above all, love. There is NO WAY he was in love with my baby sister! This is not happening!
"Um, Charlie. Charlie Swan. So yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone knows him." Squirt replied as her dainty fingers fiddled with her bottle cap.
"Wait, so if Charlie's your dad, why were you living with your aunt?" Edward asked. He looked genuinely confused. That's weird. Edward can read thoughts. He should already know this.
"Um well, it's a long story. Maybe some other time." The bell rang as soon as Bella spoke. She got up to leave, but Alice stopped her.
"Hey Bella, I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping this weekend with me and Rose?" You could practically see the energy and excitement coursing through her as she asked Bella to go shopping with her.
"Umm, I don't know guys. I really don't like shopping." Sweet! Bella doesn't like shopping! She's normal!
At this point Alice pulled out the big guns. The face. The face that could melt the coldest heart. No pun intended.
"Awwww. Please Bella, please!" Of course Bella caved, seeing as it WAS the face.
"YAY! I can tell we're going to be best friends!" Alice squealed. Why, oh why, did she have to be squealer?
"Well, I've got to get to class now. I'll talk to you later guys." Bella said as she grabbed her back pack and took off for class.
We all looked at each other. This is a first for our family. To invite a human wasn't heard of for our family. So many things could happen! She could find out about our family. There could be an accident, involving blood. She could get to close and be horribly heartbroken after our inevitable departure.
"Well, I like her." Rose said as she took my hand and went to class with me. Alice followed in after us. Jasper went to Bio and Edward went to Chem.
As the day continued I didn't really pay attention to anything. I just let Rose talk. I occasionally added a "Yeah, sure." Or an "Uh huh." I don't care about my classes. I can pass those with my eyes closed. I just thought about my little Squirt, my baby sister. Luckily I don't have any classes with Edward.
What if she figures out I'm her brother? What if she figures out my secret? A million and one What If's went through my head at school. Before I knew it, it was time to leave. We were out in the lot just talking.
I saw Bella come out and head into the parking lot. The rest of my siblings followed my glance and looked at her as well.
As she walked through the parking lot it was like a ripple effect. As she passed the guys turned to watch her walk by and the girls glared out of jealousy. From the look on Edwards face, I was sure I didn't want to know what those guys were thinking.
Bella got to that fine black Camero and turned to unlock it. She caught our eyes on her and turned to wave. We all waved back. The thing was, she seemed to only have eyes for Jasper.
NO! This CAN'T be happening! Jasper looked at me odd, wondering where my sudden flash of anger came from.
We all got in our designated cars and sped off for home. Rose kept looking at me funny on the way. Man, I thought no one noticed my distraction today. Damn.
-AT THE CULLEN HOME-
All of my "siblings" were down stairs with Mom and Dad. They were all whispering. I knew I was going to be called at any mome-
"Emmett, can you please come down stairs? Just for a couple moments?" Mom asked sweetly.
Honestly, how am I supposed to say no to that?
I grudgingly made my way down stairs and prepared myself for the questions. I sat down next to Rose and took her hand in mine.
"Em, what has been wrong with you today? You seem kind of out of it." Rose looked at me with those eyes and I knew I had to answer.
"I-, I don't know." I said looking at mine and Rose's intertwined hands.
"I almost can't tell what he's thinking. His thoughts are so deep." Edward said "I do know it has to do with the new girl, Bella." He said looking at me carefully.
"Yeah, it does." I told them looking at each of them. They all looked concerned. I can understand why, I guess. They've never seen me act like this. I'm only this serious when it comes down to my sister and wife.
"Emmett, I kept getting these odd, flashes of anger out of nowhere from you at school today. What was that about?" Jasper asked me.
Rose looked up at me with pure pain in her eyes. It was the most horrible thing I have ever seen, for an angel to be in pain."You-, You're in love with her aren't you?" she asked me in the most broken voice with her lip trembling.
I scooped her into my arms and held her close. I kissed the top of her precious head.
"No, baby. No. You're the only one for me. You should know that by now." I whispered.
"Then, what is it?" Esme asked looking so concerned for me, her son.
"I-, I," I let out a frustrated sigh. "I think Bella is my baby sister. I used to sneak into her room at night and watch her sleep as an infant. I would rub her tiny hands and with my finger. She would open those pretty brown eyes and just look up at me, and not make a peep. I was so scared I would hurt her, but she would just wrap her tiny fingers around my big one. She was beautiful, and still is. Her eyes are the same color mine were." I whispered.
If I could cry I would. My voice would tremble here and there as I spoke. Thinking back to those nights I would spend watching her sleep made so painful. I missed everything. Childhood is when you need your brother the most, and I missed it, the first time she sat up on her own, when she started crawling, those first steps, first words, helping her read Dr Seuss books, everything. I know Aunt Marie took amazing care of her, but I'm her brother. I was supposed to be there.
I wish I could make up for those moments so badly, but I know by doing so would put her in danger from our kind.
"Oh, Baby." Rose cradled me in her arms while I sobbed. Everyone else was gone, except Esme, who sat next to Rose, just holding my hand. She looked as if she were about to cry. Rose let me switch over to my mom's lap, which must have looked strange because I'm so big, but I don't care. I just wanted my mom to hold me. She held my head in the crook of her neck and would kiss my forehead. I quieted after a while and just thought as my mom held me.
I have some big decisions to make.
