Em's POV

Ashley and her mother left soon after that. They would probably be back tomorrow though. When everyone was into their own thing and Edward was gone to watch Bella sleep, I yanked Alice out of the house and far out of ear shot.

"Why didn't you tell me, Or at least warn me it was going to be this soon?" I shouted angrily.

"What are you yelling about, Emmett?" Alice asked nonchalantly. I let out a small growl and she sighed. "I don't want to ruin the surprise of life for you! Sometimes I hate knowing the future and I didn't want to ruin it."

I shook my head, "Its not going to happen..."

"Oh yes it is I've seen it all. It's very clear." Alice interrupted.

"I'm not going to let Rose go in just a month! That's just not fair!" I shouted confused.

Alice stayed calm the whole time but I could see frustration in her eyes. "Not fair to who? Rose? You? Or Ashley? Rosalie is gone. She's had to accept it so you do too."

"I thought I was ready. Last time we talked I thought about it. I really thought I would be ready, but I didn't think it would be so soon!" It was just too soon that was my bottom line. As I looked at Alice she was frustrated.

"Humans don't have the time we do, Emmett. Ashley's going to soon be off to college and her mother never wants to see her again after that because of her aging. The vision's getting fuzzy now, so I know you're changing your mind. You don;t have long, Emmett." She said gravely before running off.

I sat there thinking. I had the choice. I could move on and leave Rosalie to be a memory or I could cling hopelessly to her. That statement should've made the choice easy but it didn't.

I was out for awhile until Edward showed up.

"Emmett." he sighed.

"Would you honestly go to the Volturi if Bella died?" I asked stupidly.

"I did it once I'd do it again just more successful." he said.

"And leave us all here to mourn you both?" I asked.

"Bella is my existence without her I would be nothing." he said and I knew he meant every word of it.

"Shouldn't I feel like that?" I wondered out loud.

"I don't know, Emmett. I'm not Jasper I don't know how you feel." Edward said hiding his smirk. "Alice is right though. You don't have much time, so you have a choice. Now you just have to pick."

"Edward, what would you do?" I asked.

"Honestly if you can move on Emmett then that's a sign. Rosalie would be happy. That's all she ever wanted was her family to be happy."

"How many times is this going to happen?" I asked myself more than Edward. "I get to where I want to move on and then I draw back. She did mean something to me. She was the love of my life for a few decades. It only took a month for me to move on."

"Emmett, it's just nature. You can't stay depressed forever, especially since you're not taking the path I would." With that Edward left me and I was alone to make my decision.


I know I keep saying he's moving on but he keeps having these episodes of being upset, but it's all I got for now! :) I was going to do something with Ashley's POV but it didn't happen. I'm working on one of my other stories too so I'm probably goning to be a little slow. :)

REVIEW PLEASE!
