This is for Faith Bow xx

To him, family is everything. He had been the oldest of six siblings and had grown up watching out for them, guiding them, teaching them. Sometimes he hadn't been the best example, but he'd always kept the five of them out of trouble and out from under their mother's feet.

There is nothing more important than family, not when you're trying to survive the coldness of the winter nights or the hardness of the floor.

So he doesn't understand why they are leaving Bella. Sure, in theory Edward makes sense - they've made her life a hundred times more dangerous but when they leave who will protect her?

They are leaving her to face that by herself.

And Emmett will never forgive himself for that.
