Chapter 6: Date

Sydney's POV

After Alice texted me I couldn't help but become a little nervous for our date. As class started I was wondering what I would tell John to explain me not being home. I felt sick to my stomach knowing what he could do to me. However I'm not going to let that control what I do. If I want to go on a date with Emmett Cullen, then I'm gonna go on a date with him. Through out the day, I kept thinking about how I kissed Emmett, I couldn't believe I did that. As school ended I walked home. Once I got home, I saw that john's car wasn't in the driveway. I sighed a breath of relief knowing that if he wasn't home. Hopefully he would be out all night. I walked into my house and dropped my bag on the couch. My phone vibrated in my pocket signaling that someone was texting me. I open my messenger app to see Alice had texted me.

Alice

Hey, I'm on my over be there in 10 mins, I also have a surprise for you!

I glanced up at the build in clock on my phone, it read 5:00 pm. I knew I had a little time before Alice came, so I decided to do some homework. I sat at the old oak desk in m room as my working place. Before I knew it I hear a knock at my front door. I walk downstairs and open the door to see Alice standing there with a shopping bag in her hand. She walked into the house and automatically started pushing me up the stairs. "Come on I want you to shower and when you get out I'll dress you and do your makeup and hair." I nodded my head and walked into the bathroom. I turned the nob with the big red H on it for hot water. The water spewed out of the shower head and against the tile of the wall. I undressed being careful of my bruised stomach and back.

I stepped into the shower and let the warm water trickle down my body, washing away the stress, anger, and any love I had for my father. I hated him with every fiber of my being and one day he will pay for treating like he is. I washed my body and hair as quickly as possible before I stepped out of the shower. I looked in the mirror and saw the bruises on my face had turned a yellow color, blending in with my skin. I walked into my bedroom to see everything being put away. Alice turned to me and said "I thought your room needed some organization." I giggled at her comment and said sarcastically "Thank you because organizing my room was just sooo important." "Your welcome" She said in response, I laughed "Now come on let's get you ready for your date. Well start with clothes, then I'll do your hair and makeup. " I smiled and took the clothes from her putting them on.

Alice put me in a black high waisted skirt and a black crop top with white sneakers. Then she went into the bag she brought and pulled out a white designer balmer jacket. She walked over to me and held it out for me to take. I looked at her shocked and said "I can't take that, Alice." She looked at me and said, "I bought it specially for you when Emmett told me about your date. So your gonna take even if I have to force you to." I smiled at her still a little hesitant but she gave me a reassuring smile and pushed it to me. I put it on and Alice screamed: " You look AMAZEBALLS!" I smiled a little startled by her out burst. She lead me to my desk and sat me down. She started to do my hair, using a curling rod to give my hair tight waves. Once finished with that she started on my makeup.

When she was done she told me to look in the mirror. Just as I was about to get up she stopped me and said "OH I almost forgot." she grabbed a black baseball hat and placed it on my head backwards. "There, now you can look" I stood up and walked over to the mirror that was placed on the wall. I looked at myself and smiled, for the first time in a long time I felt beautiful. My hair was in tight, long curls and my makeup was light. The baseball cap made the outfit look a little edgier and I loved it. I turned around to Alice and engulfed her in a hug "Thank you so much." she pulled back and said, "your welcome, you look so good, every girl in school would be jealous of you." I gave her a look of 'are you serious' "There are plenty of other girls who are way prettier than me." She shook her head at me and said "You better not let Emmett hear that. When he first met you he wouldn't stop talking about you. He thought you were the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. When you guys started talking he wouldn't shut up about how funny, sweet, and kind-hearted you are. He wouldn't stop talking and to be honest it got so annoying but; it made us happy to see that he found someone to make him so ecstatic." I was surprised by what she told me. "So don't ever say your not pretty because you are. Plus I think Emmett will die when he sees you in this outfit." I looked at myself again and noticed how revealing the outfit was. I looked at Alice and said "Don't you think this is showing to much skin." She shook her head and started to push me down the stairs. "No it's the perfect amount of skin now come on he should be here any minute." As we stepped down the last stair I heard a knock on my door. I looked at Alice nervously and she said, "It's OK, go rock it girl." I took a deep breath and opened the door, I was greeted by a smiling Emmett. "Hey Sydney, wow you look beautiful" I smile at him before I feel Alice move beside me. "I know, this is my best work yet, now go enjoy yourselves." I laugh and smile at her, then look towards Emmett who has his arm extended for me to take. I wrap my arms around his and he walks us to his silver, soft top, jeep. He opens the passenger door for me and helps me in. He then walks around and gets into the drivers seat. "So where are we going" I asked excitedly. He chuckled and says "It's a surprise" I look at him and say "Oh come on, at least give me a hint." He shakes his had " No, if I give you a hint it will spoil the surprise." I sigh but am still smiling, I can't believe I'm on a date with Emmett Cullen. I mean why would he like me, there are so many other girls in school he could be with.

The rest of the ride Emmett and I talked about our lives, wanting to know more about each other. The jeep came to a stop right outside of a walking trail into the woods. I looked over to him smiling at me, "I know it seems weird but I promise you'll like what I'm going to show you." I responded "Yes, because walking down a pitch black trail into the woods, with a guy that is 10x bigger than me at 8:00 at night sounds just soooo enthralling." He chuckled, "I promise you will be OK, if I did something to you Alice would KILL me." I laughed as Emmett got out and walked around to my side. He opened the door for me and held out his hand. I grabbed it and he lead me down the gravel path. Then we stopped, Emmett put his large hands over my eyes and said,"Close you eyes, open them when I say open." He walked a little further and stopped again, he uncovered my eyes and said "open." When I opened my eyes there was a field full of flowers, laying in front of me was a blanket with food and board games. My smile covered the lower half of my face. I turned around and hugged him "Thank you so much, I LOVE it." He smiled back at me and walked me over to the blanket. I sat down on the red, checkerboard cloth and he sat down across from me. I looked at everything that was placed on the blanket. There were strawberry's, pizza, and a bunch of candy. Somehow he knew my favorite foods. Then there were a bunch of board games like monopoly, sorry, trouble and cards against humanity. I looked at all the food and started to get really hungry. As if he could read my minds said "If you're hungry you can eat, everything is for you." I looked up at him and smiled before I dug in. After I ate Emmett and I played some of the games he brought. We continued to tell each other about ourselves. Like how I love to dance and sing, and how I can play the guitar, piano, violin, and ukulele. He told me things about him like his favorite color is royal blue. He loves video games and that he like to hunt bears. Every once in a while he would make a joke that left me crying because I was laughing so hard. I looked down at my phone and it said 10:30, I was surprised, I guess time does fly when you are having fun . "I think it about time I get you home" I looked at him and nodded my head a little sad that the date was over. I stood up and started to clean up when he stopped me and said, "I'll come back for it later." I looked at him, "Are you sure, I don't want you to have to clean up my mess" he smiled and nodded his head.

When we pulled into my driveway and john still wasn't home. Emmett got out of the car and walked over to my side and opened the door for me. I smiled and said "Such a gentleman" he smiled and walked me to my front door. I turned around and told him goodnight he smiled, said goodnight back and started to walk back to his car. I turned around to open my door when he grabbed my arm. I turned around to meet his face when he kissed me. I was shocked at first but kissed back. Emmett pulled away he smiled and wished me goodnight. I walked into my house as happy as can be, I went to bed that night the happiest I've been in a long time.
