Rosalie was the last one left to leave and Emmett massaged my aching feet as we all sat around talking. "Well I better get going." Rosalie said.
"Thanks for coming." I smiled.
"Of course, congratulations." Rosalie smiled, "Walk me out Emmett?"
"Sure." He said and tapped my feet and I moved them so he could get up. Before he left he kissed my lips and I sat up. I looked to Alice who was having a vision but I kind of put it off. I grabbed a magazine from the table and started to flip through it.
I looked back up and Alice seemed upset, "What's wrong Alice?"
"Go find Emmett, quickly go." She said.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Just go, quickly." She said and I threw on my shoes and I walked outside confused on why I had to find Emmett. I walked around the house to the side by the driveway and found Rosalie and Emmett pressed up against the house kissing. Emmett was kissing his ex, which was like me and Edward kissing and Angela finding us.
"Emmett." I muttered in disbelief. He pulled away and his face was full of shock that he had been caught.
"It's not what it looks like." He said.
"It looks like you were kissing Rosalie." I said. He didn't respond. "I can't believe you Emmett Cullen, I thought you were different." I yelled in his face He came up to me and I looked up at him. "Over a year ago our first date immediately after you kissed me goodnight I asked about Rosalie and you said she was done, you asked about Edward and I said that was over 2 years ago." Tears flowed over my eye lid and onto my face. I quickly pushed them back, I had to be strong, and I had to look like I was superior.
"You left for a week and this is what happens?" I asked.
"Bella, please…" Emmett said, "Don't let this get between us!"
"How can I trust you again?" I said. "All you were supposed to do was walk her out to her car, not make out with her!"
"Don't let this get between us Bella; we have too much going for us." He said.
"Emmett, I can't marry you." I said.
"Bella, come on, please, I love you." Emmett said.
"And I love you Emmett, but you took that to your advantage."
"You know I didn't, this isn't what it looks like." Emmett said he was starting to get mad too.
"Yeah Bella, this isn't as bad as it seems." Rosalie said trying to help.
I ignored them both. I looked down at the ring, the symbol that showed Emmett's love for me and my love for him. I slide it off and handed it to him. He didn't take it right away. "Take it." I said as more tears came
"I can't let you do this, we love each other, and I love you too much to let you do this."
"Take it, I don't want it." I cried my voice cracking. His face fell and he held out his oversized hand and I dropped it in his palm. I walked away and back into the house. Along the way I saw every single member of the family except Edward. He must have left to hunt or something.
I called for a cab and grabbed my things. I wrote a quick letter to the family saying why I had to leave and I heard a honk from outside, I looked from the window and it was the taxi cab. I left the note on the bed and I grabbed my suitcase. As I walked back down stairs I passed Emmett on the staircase. "Bella, please don't leave, you have to hear me out."
"What's to hear when I've seen?" He ignored the comment.
"I was walking her out to her car and she was talking about the past and the past caught up to us and we kissed but before you came out she was saying how happy she was for us and how lucky we were to have each other."
"Are you done?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said and I shook my head and kept on walking down the stairs.
I reached the door and I looked to him. "Bye Emmett." I said and collapsed the handle to my suitcase and picked it up by the strap. The man driving the taxi took the suitcase in the back of the cab in the trunk. He opened the door for me and I looked back at the house. Emmett stood there at the garage, he looked like he was ready to run and take me away from the cab. I wished he would, I wish all of this would go away. I wish he would just kiss me to reassure everything was a misunderstanding, to do something that words couldn't describe. Tears flooded my cheeks and I got in.
The man shut the door and I was sealed in. He got in also and then asked. "Where to miss?"
"Denali airport." I said and he drove away. I turned in my seat and looked out the back window, I watched what could have been, slip through my fingers. What could have been disappeared.
I paid the cab and then I walked into the airport and changed my ticket date to now. I walked over to the desk at the terminal and they took my ticket and scanned it. "Will Mr. Emmett Cullen be flying with you today?"
"No, I don't think he will ever be." I said and the person nodded.
I walked through the connection and I took my seat in first class. I didn't have a seat partner until I saw Edward board the plane. What was he doing here?
He put his bag over head and sat down next to me. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.
"I can't let you go to Forks unprotected." He said. "Not with Victoria on the prowl."
"I'd rather her find me and kill me." I said.
"It's not worth it, I saw what happen in his head, and it was all Rosalie." He said
"Then why did he not make a huge fuss that it wasn't him?" I asked.
"He wanted to, but he knew he did something wrong and didn't want to make it worse by arguing." He said.
"When I got in the cab, I wish he would have come and took me away and told me none of it happened." I said.
"He thought about it, but he thought it looked like you didn't want anything to do with him."
Tears came again and I wiped them away. "I love him." I said.
"I know." Edward said and pulled me into him. I didn't care I just let him hold me. "I guess it's true what they say, every rose has its thorn and it can cut you like a knife." He said. I nodded and I watched the plane leave the ground and the world get smaller and that was it, my love was gone.
