Chapter 12.

EmPOV.

My poor little baby. I can't believe I was so horrible to her. This is all Edward's fault. He hit on my baby girl. He has corrupted her innocence. I snuck a peek into the review mirror. The image I saw burnt into my brain. The tears that were streaming out of my little girls' eyes were my fault. I watched as Rosalie wrapped an arm around her shoulder and comforted her. When Bella moved her face away black mascara was smudged all over Rose's arm. I sucked in a deep breath as I pulled up to the house. I walked around to open the door for Bella but she slammed the lock down and turned away from me. I sighed and then gave up and retreated to the house. I looked back to see Rose help Bella out of the car. She looked like hell. She looked like she couldn't even walk in a straight line. I stopped and held the door open. When Bella stepped through the door, she tripped. I reached out to grab her but she pushed me away. She turned to face me. The look on her face tore my heart out. There was pain and hate and loss written all over it.

"Leave me the hell" she cried loudly. I couldn't just do that. I reached down to help her up.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she screamed. I was about to reply when Rose clamped her hand over my mouth. I watched silently as she tripped and tumbled her way up the stairs and slam her door shut. I knew she would probably be texting that idiot. I pulled away from Rose and walked up the stairs. I could hear the buttons clicking.

"Hand over the phone!" I said when I flung the door open. I was not prepared for her reaction. She clutched the phone and the hurled it at my head. The impact broke the phone. I picked up the pieces and stomped down the stairs. Rose was sitting on the couch. She looked dazed or stunned. I shook her shoulder to make sure she was still here!

"Sorry.. this is... this is a lot to deal with" she whispered. I nodded in agreement. How were we going to handle this. We couldn't very well ban her form seeing him cause that wouldn't work. We can't ground her because they attend school together. I was unaware of my actions until Rose sighed at me.

"For goodness sake Emmett. Go for a run or something!" she snarled. I looked at her and nodded. I botled for the door and took of into the forest. I had a lot to think about. One thing is why does it bother me that Edward and Bella are in love. Is it just my parental instincts taking over or am I genuilly angry that she has a boyfriend. I mean it's Edward. He is like my brother. I guess it could be worse. She could be with that moron Mike Newton. That kid really gets under my granite. Edward and Bella. Bella and Edward. The weird thing is that it sounds good. It sounds like Emmett and Rose. Maybe they are meant for each other. I didn't pay attention to were I was going. I had been gone for hours. They lightening of the sky told me so. It must be early morning. I was standing in front of Carlisle and Esme's house. Edward's house. I knew what I had to do. I stood out side for a while trying to calm myself before I walked in there. I couldn't get over how elegant and graceful everything looked. And that was just from the outside. I stood in front of the door, thinking of what to say while I knocked on the door. Carlisle answered. He cocked his head to the side. He wasn't smiling but he wasn't frowning either.

"What are you doing here Emmett?" Carlisle said. His eyes were narrowed. If I didn't know any better he was definatly angry.

"Where's Edward?" I replied. I looked around the house. I wanted to look anywhere but into Carlisle's eyes. He was still my father even after all this time.

"Why the hell do you care?" Alice chimmed in. She was pissed of beyond Jasper's help. Now I felt worse.

"Because I need to talk to him" I whispered.

"Why... so , so you can call him a pervert again?" she snarled. I flinched. I can't believe I called him that.

"No. I need to set this right Alice. Please, just tell me where he is!" I was begging at this point.

"I'm sorry Emmett," it was Esme's soft and loving voice that broke the tension building, " but we don't know where he is!" I looked at her face. She was dry sobbing. She was trying to hold it together but was failing slightly. I cautioned Alice and Carlisle with my eyes and went over to comfort my mother.

"Make it right Emmett" she breathed into my ear. I looked at her face and nodded. Before I walked out the house I turned and said the one thing that would hopefully thaw them out.

"Look ok, I know I screwed up royally. I know I have probably ruined both Edward and Bella's relationship and I am sorry. I am a major idiot. Worse than an idiot. I am a retarted spaticated bear with no feelings!" I heard Alice laugh and knew that she was happier now. Carlisle stepped forward and placed his hand on my shoulder and nodded slightly. Jasper was sending me calm and safe emotions. I smiled and nodded at him in thanks.

When I got home I could still here her crying. I could hear Rose trying to calm her down. She kept saying how sorry she was to Bella. How she wished that we had handled it better. I gave up eavesdropping and walked into my baby's room. She was still in her dress. Mascara was running down her cheeks. Her eyes were red and puffy. I hated myself for what I did to her. For what I have done to their relationship. I walked over and sat on the end of her bed. I reached out to touch her hand. To my surprise she didn't pull it away. She looked up at me with tear filled eyes.

"I'm so sorry baby." I said.

"S'not your fault dad. I should have told you the truth!" she whispered back. I could tell that she was still in pain.

"Well... I went to Carlisle and Esme's. I tried to make things right." I said softly. Rose's head whipped up. Her eyes widened. Bella stopped sniffling.

"Is... is Edward there?" she asked. Her eyes were locked onto mine. She knew if I was going to lie to her. I thought it was better to go with the truth.

"No. He dissappeared and they don't know where he is." I said in a sombre voice. Rose shuffled closer to me and sat next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

"You tried that's the main thing" she whispered. I kissed her cheek and looked at Bella. She wasn't crying. She had her thinking face on.

"What is it Bella?" I asked. Her eyes widened and a small smile broke across her face.

"I think I know where Edward is." she whispered.

BPOV

I climbed on my father's back and whispered directions into his ear as he ran. I knew exactly where my Edward would be. In our meadow. Dad kept saying he was sorry and that he was going to fix it. I held back tears. Lots of tears. When dad's pace slowed I knew we were getting closer. I could hear the babbling of the river. I squinted and could see a figure sitting in the grass. His back was to us but I could tell it was Edward. His hair was a dead give away.

"Hurry dad!" I whispered loudly into his ear. He laughed at me and then picked up the pace.

"Edward!" I yelled when we got closer. His head snapped up instantly. A smile broke across his lips. He was getting to his feet when dad pulled me off his back. He waited back while I ran over to my love.

"Bella!" the angel cried. I never realised how hard it was to run in a dress until now. I kept tripping over it. That only made Edward run faster. When I reached him I flung my arms around his neck and stretched up on my toes and smothered his face with kisses. I didn't care that my dad was watching I loved this man in my arms and planned to keep loving him forever.

"I love you Edward" I whispered in his ear. He pulled my lips back to his and kissed me passionatly on the lips. I felt his tongue slip quickly into my mouth and sighed.

"I love you to my Bella" he said. My dad cleared his throat as soon as we got a bit to much into it. I had completely forgotten about him here. I blushed and hugged Edward round the waist tightly.

"I'm so sorry brother," dad said. "if I may still call you that!"

"I will always be your brother Emmett. No matter what. But thank you!" Edward replied. He getnly pushed me away and briefly exchanged a hug with dad. I smiled at them.

"Ok baby. I better get back to your mom!" he said. I nodded and mouthed thank you. He was giving me alone time with Edward.
