CHAPTER 46

EMMETT

The week passed by uneventfully. We were all happy. Jasper and Alice, and Edward and Bella never fought for a change, and Rosalie and I were perfectly happy.

Friday came, a day before her operation. She was to be admitted to the hospital on Friday night, so her bags were packed when we arrived. Alice, Jasper, Edward, and Bella were all ready to go with her. The moment she saw me, hey eyes lit up with so much joy. I hugged her back, whispering comforting words to her ear.

"Let's go?" She whispered to me when she was ready. I hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to break the news. "What's wrong?" her eyes seemed to be probing my soul. I avoided her gaze.

"Rose, I… I can't." I admitted finally, knowing it's always better to tell her the truth. "I have something really important to do."

Her gaze drooped, tears swelled from her eyes. I could feel my friends' disapproving looks piercing my body.

"Emmett… I don't understand." She trailed off. "I need you there…"

I hugged her tight against my chest. "I promise I'd be there when you wake up, okay? Trust me Rose, please trust me on this."

She continued sobbing, hitting my chest. "You're impossible, Emmett! I need you most today! Just two days! What could be more important than this?"

"Rose, please! It really is more important than this, than being with you! Please just don't be mad! Just go now, Rose. I'll be there when you wake up! Stay strong! I'll explain everything to you."

"Okay! If you don't want to support me Emmett just go! Go away! I'd make it without you! I don't need you!" She screamed as I stormed off the door, leaving her in pain. But the pain she feels right now was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

Edward and Jasper were following me out, I heard their footsteps. I stopped on my tracks.

"Just let me go. I need this." I explained, my voice was void of any emotion.

"Emmett what's wrong with you? Come on man, this is important to her! What now? You'd choose your music over her?" Jasper tried talking some sense into me.

"She needs your support." Edward was always relatively calm. "Do not disappoint us, Emmett."

"Just go mind your own businesses." I was annoyed. "I need to do this, don't you understand?"

Jasper took a step closer to me. "How will we ever understand? You're not giving any explanation!"

From the corner of my eye, I saw him clench his jaw. Edward put a restraining hand on his shoulder. "Why does it matter to you anyway?" I turned to look at Jasper.

"Because my girlfriend is also hurting. Because of what you said." Now I understand. Alice was really close to Rosalie. She was probably crying too when I left.

"I'd be there, Jasper. I'd be there before she wakes up. You can punch me if I don't show up. Just please let me go now."

Edward tapped Jasper's shoulder. "Let's go, Jasper. I'm sure he has valid reasons."

"Thank you Ed." I whispered before heading to our room.

"Be there Emmett." He reminded me one last time before taking the girls to the hospital.
