"You are worth everything to me. You are worth more than my own life as far as I'm concerned." Emmett told me.

"That's very sweet of you, but I'm really not. I will never be worth it to anyone." I said, finally breaking down.

"Don't say that. I know for a fact that you are worth it. Will you give me a chance to prove it to you? I will do whatever I can to make sure that you are happy and healthy." Emmett said.

"I- I guess… I could." I said with utter shock.

"Good. I'd like to start by taking you to my place again. Since my father is a doctor, I'm sure he could check everything out. You know, make sure everything is ok." Emmett offered.

I nodded. My throat was starting to hurt too bad for me to talk much more. He held out a hand for me to take. I was a little scared to at first, but I don't think that he was going to hurt me. So I placed my hand in his. He was wearing gloves and a black jacket today. It fit well with the weather since it seemed to stay so cold here all the time.

We walked over to where his family was waiting for him. When they saw me coming, they started to smile. I smiled back at them. Even Rosalie gave a half genuine smile to me. This surprised me after how she greeted me that night at the house when I was there. I thought maybe she hated me. Now she seemed to like me or at least half like me anyway.

"Hello Brittlyn. How are you today?" Esme asked.

"Mom I don't think this is a good time to talk about it." Emmett told her.

"Why?" She asked.

"It's ok Emmett. I don't mind her asking. I've been better Professor Cullen. I was uhh… I was raped last night here on campus. I was assaulted the night I came back here from your and your husband's home. Emmett said he might be able to give me a check-up or something to make sure that I'm ok." I explained.

That's when I got a hug from Rosalie. I don't know why, but this surprised me. I didn't think she'd be this friendly. It fit her nicely though. When she pulled back, she looked as if she were almost in tears over something. I didn't know whether or not I should ask. I didn't want to be rude, but it was mostly the surprise of it all.

"I'm sorry that had to happen to you. I know exactly what it feels like to be raped by someone you are familiar with." Rosalie said.

"Really?" I asked with shock filling my voice and covering my face.

"Yes. Carlisle is the one who helped me. He then adopted me shortly after." Rosalie said.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I mean you are so much more beautiful than I am. Which is probably why it happened to you. It doesn't excuse it, but still." I said.

Everyone giggled a little at my statement. After that exchange, we started walking towards the Cullen's vehicles. They brought two for everyone to fit in. Half of them went home in one vehicle. I went with Emmett, Esme and Rosalie. I think they were the three that I was becoming the closest to in this family. It was nice to know that I was quickly gaining some friends here. I was going to need it.

A little while later we made it to their home. The first night I was here I didn't realize exactly how big the house was. Now that I got to see it during the day time, it seemed much bigger than necessary for a family of this size. I guess with a husband who was a doctor and a wife who taught at a college, they were bound to save up enough money to afford this house. I just wonder how they could've saved it all up and sent these kids to school. It seemed to unrealistic to me. Maybe they managed to get these kids here on scholarships and grants alone.

Emmett got out and held the car door open for me. As soon as I got out, he closed it gently. I waited for him. I watched him closed the car door. As he shut it I managed to look at him. I looked down to his butt and got distracted by it. It seemed to perfect to be real. He turned around and smiled at me, catching me staring at him. I blushed a bright red, smiling and looking down. Emmett came beside me. He seemed hesitant and waited for me.

I felt a little more comfortable. I took a step closer to him. He took that as a good sign. I could've swore I heard him chuckle. He put his hands in his pockets. I'm almost certain he wanted to put an arm around me. I don't think he wanted he wanted to push his luck with me. I was just glad that he didn't want to push me into anything.

"Are you sure you feel comfortable enough for this?" Emmett asked.

I nodded. "I think I can handle it. I just hope this isn't too weird for your father."

"It'll be fine. I know he won't care to help you if it means making sure that you are ok." Emmett explained.

"Your family is really nice. I do have a question for you though." I said.

"What kind of question?" Emmett asked with a straight face.

"Well, the first day I saw you and your family I noticed Rosalie glaring at me. She glared at me again the night I came to have dinner with your family. But today she smiled, hugged and actually talked to me. What happened to change her mind about me?" I asked.

"Well, Rosalie has had a hard life. She has went through some things that really messed her up. Carlisle, my adoptive father, saved her before things got any worse. This was not long after he met Edward, one of my brothers, and Esme. After that Carlisle kind of helped me and then came Jasper and Alice, then Bella. Finally Nessie and Jacob joined our family and we haven't really split up since then." Emmett explained as we got to the steps of the over-sized house.

"That's amazing that he adopted all of you guys. It seems like it'd be so hard to support that many kids in college though." I thought allowed.

"Well let me just say that Carlisle and Esme are a little older than they appear. We all are." Emmett said.

"Well I sometimes physically feel much older than I am. Although I mentally feel a couple years younger than what I'm supposed to be." I said.

Emmett laughed a little. It was nice to see a guy like him smile like he did. Emmett had an almost childlike air about him when he was happy. I liked it. It felt good to be around someone who could be so happy like this. It gave me a chance to actually relax for a minute. A gust came through and gave me a chill. I looked around at the trees moving with the breeze and unthinkingly moved myself into Emmett's side to get warm.

He wrapped an arm around me and smiled at me being close to him. I looked up at him smiling down at me. I didn't realize how tall he was until he was towering over me. It was a little intimidating to have to look directly up, but him being so strong and having the muscle he did was nice. I looked down and blushed again.

"We better get you inside before you freeze to death out in this breeze." He said.

"It might be a good idea. I am a little chilly out here now." I said.
