Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, blah blah blah


I wasn't happy driving to school that Monday, I actually liked staying home and relaxing but if I ever wanted to graduate I knew I eventually had to go back. I stepped out of my moms' car and made sure my hat was on straight. I walked up to the school and headed to my locker to unload all the books that were in my bag.

"Hey." A voice from beside me said.

I looked over to see who it was, "Hey Luke." I tried to smile.

"I heard about your car accident. Sorry to hear about your hair." He said.

I looked at him confused, "How did you know about that?" I wondered.

"It's a small town Riley, everyone knows." He told me.

"Perfect." I mumbled as I closed my locker.

"So, can I see?" He looked at me.

"See what?" I looked at him.

"Your head, I heard it was pretty gross." He said.

I looked at him shocked, "It's not gross and no, you can't see it!"

"Come on. Let's see it." He said trying to take my hat off.

I pushed his hand away, "Do not touch my hat."

I turned to walk away but I felt my hat fly off my head and I turned to see who took it off. I noticed Hayden holding my hat up in the air smiling.

"Look she's bald!" She yelled and smiled. Everyone around us chuckled a little bit and I felt my eyes fill with tears.

I pushed Hayden up against the locker as hard as I could and grabbed my hat from her. I shoved it on my head as I ran out of the school past everyone. When I got to the student parking I was headed toward my car until someone grabbed my by the shoulders and stopped me in my tracks. I looked up at Emmett with tears rolling down my cheeks.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Emmett asked me as he looked at me.

"Nothing I just want to go home and crawl underneath my bed and die there." I sobbed.

"What happened?" He repeated and then looked at Edward.

"They made fun of her Emmett. Hayden took her hat off in front of everyone and they laughed at her." Edward told him.

"Can I eat her? Just her?" Bella growled.

"Just let me go please. I don't want to go back in there; I just want to go home and die." I sobbed.

"Come on lets go." Emmett said as he put his arm around me and walked me to my car. He threw his keys to Jasper as he opened the drivers' door for me.

"I'll meet you at your house." He said and kissed my forehead.

I nodded as I started the car and drove off. People could be so cruel, I thought about revenge as I headed home, tears still pouring down my cheeks.


I walked into the house and closed the door behind me. My mom walked into the foyer as I put my bag down.

"What's wrong?" She asked me in her worried mom voice.

"I don't want to talk about it." I sobbed. I knew if I repeated it then it would make it worse.

"They made fun of you didn't they?" My mom asked.

I nodded, "She took my hat off in front of half the school and they laughed at me." I cried harder.

"Maybe we should move back to New York. You could wear your wig there and know one will know." My mom suggested.

"No mom. Running away would just make it worse." I told her. "I just want to go upstairs and lie down." I headed upstairs to my room.

Emmett was sitting on my bed with all my books I put in my locker. I walked over to my bed and sat down beside him. He pulled me toward him and I rested my head on his chest. I was asleep within minutes. He must have laid me down because when I woke up I was on my pillow and he was sitting beside me with all my books opened in front of him.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I sat up.

"I did all your catch up work for you." He said as he closed all the books.

"But they'll be able to tell the difference between our handwriting." I said as I looked at him.

He handed me a piece of paper and his handwriting looked just like mine, "Wow, thanks I owe you big time."

"Then make me a promise." He said as he looked at me.

"Okay." I said as I looked at him.

"Promise me you'll marry me one day." He said as he pulled a Tiffany's box from his pocket.

I took the box from him and opened it. I gasped when I saw a small pink diamond ring with two small diamonds surrounding the pink diamond and a platinum band. I looked at Emmett shocked.

"Even if you don't want to become a vampire I still want to marry you one day." He smiled.

I smiled back and nodded, "Okay." He took the ring out of the box and placed it on my ring finger of my left hand.

I looked at the ring from afar and smiled, it was pretty. "I love it." I smiled at him.

He smiled, "I thought you would. Do you feel better now?" He wondered.

I sighed, "Not really. How can people be so mean? I could never do that to anyone."

"She's just jealous." Emmett said as he looked at me.

I looked at him confused, "She's jealous because I'm bald and she's not? She really has her priorities wrong."

Emmett laughed, "No, she's jealous of me and you. Hayden tried to flirt with me in Spanish one day and I just blew her off. She's jealous because you have me and she doesn't."

"O, well that makes more sense. Well, to bad she can't have you." I smiled.

Emmett smiled, "I don't know, two girls fighting over me I've always wanted to see that."

I looked at Emmett like he was crazy, "I am not fighting over you. If you want her then be with her as long as you're happy." I smiled.

Emmett wrapped his arms around my shoulders and said, "I'm happy. The happiest I've been in a long time."

"Good but as long as you're happy, I'm happy even if it's not with me." I said.

"It'll always be with you." He said before he kissed me.


My mom had errands to run all day so Emmett and I had the whole house to ourselves. We sat in my room and watched movies, listened to music and talked.

"Homecomings Friday." Emmett said as we watched a scary movie.

"Really? I didn't know that." I said as I watched the movie leaned up against him.

"Do you want to go with me?" He asked as he looked down at me.

"I don't have anything to wear." I looked up at him.

"I didn't ask that. Do you want to go with me?" He repeated.

"Sure." I smiled and turned back to the movie.


I went to school the rest of the week and no one gave a second look to me or my hat. Hayden did try to start something but then a teacher showed up so she left quickly and didn't try anything else all week. When I got to the student parking lot that Friday after school The Cullen's were already waiting by their cars looking for me.

"You're going to love it!" Alice smiled when I walked up to Emmett's Hummer.

"Love what?" I looked at her then Emmett.

"You'll love it." Alice repeated and got into the backseat.

I looked at Emmett confused but he just smiled, "Call me when you get home?" he kissed the top of my cheek.

I nodded as I looked at them confused and headed to my car. I climbed in and started the car and headed home.

When I got upstairs to my room there were two white boxes sitting on my bed. On top of them was a note.

Happy Late Birthday

Love, Emmett
