Chapter 9: Trouble

Alice POV (Before the end of last chapter)

As Sydney was talking to Emmett, I separated from to make it seem like I called her father. Based off my visions, what Emmett has told me, and going off my vampire senses Sydney is really going through hell. Jasper has only been able to read her emotions once. After that he couldn't feel anything from that point on, it's the same for Edward and I. However, it's different from Bella's shield. It's like there's something blocking us from using our abilities on her. Like it was a security measure for her body to block us. But she didn't know about us even being supernatural, At least I don't think.

It frustrates me to no end that she goes through that at home and I can't predict what will happen next. If something happens and we don't know Emmett could lose her. It made me feel so helpless,so …human. Everyone had agreed that she could stay, so I ran upstairs and grabbed a pair of my Pj's for her to where. When I came down stairs Emmett was telling her she was staying with us tonight. I walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder. I told her I left her clothes, so she walked up the stairs and into the bathroom.

I followed her up the stairs without her knowing and peeked into the bathroom. I gasped at what I saw, she had bruises and marks all along her body. My eyes traveled along her body and stopped on her neck, I audibly gasped. Sydney had red hand marks on her neck, it seemed like these were the most recent aftermath of her abuse. I ran down the stairs however Emmett was waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. I looked at him with sad eyes and said "Emmett, I saw something on her that really worried me" he looked at me scared. I explained what happened only to have his fist collide with the wall. I looked around and saw everyone with open mouths of shock, or sad eye's with pity. I then focused my gaze on Emmett, he looked like he had daggers shooting out of his eyes. Jasper, Edward and Benjamin got up from the couch and walked over to Emmett. "I know it's hard to hear but calm down son, it will be ok" Carlisle said, attempting to calm Emmett. He turned around and took a couple deep breaths, then turned back to face me "OK, are there any other scars on her body". I was hesitant to tell him, if I did he would ask me how she got them. "Yes, all over her body are little scratches and scars" he stormed out of the house running into the forest. I sighed, the boys all went after him but maybe he needed to be alone.

I turned to Rosalie, Bella, and Renesmee "Come on, since Sydney is staying over I want us to throw her a slumber party." We all changed into PJ's and waited outside the bathroom for her. We waited outside of the bathroom door for Sydney. When she came out she looking a little sad, not that I blame her. I knew why but I didn't want to ruin the fun by asking so I just said "Hey, were having an all girls sleep over." She looked at me and said "I've never been to a sleepover" I smiled at her and said "Well then, lets make this the best first sleep over ever." She giggled then followed us to my bedroom where everything was set up.

I had blankets on the floor for us, a big bowl of popcorn for Nessie and Sid, and finally some movies, most of them were chick flicks but I had a few scary ones in there. As we hunkered down and got comfortable the guys came running in with water guns "AAhhhh" we all screamed. As soon as they realized there guns were empty the guys ran for there lives. I sat there surprised, a little upset but most of all happy. I looked over and saw Sydney laughing while Emmett sat down beside her just watching her laugh. I knew he loved her and want's what's best for her, and whats best is her becoming part of our family. After Sid and Emmett talked for a little bit he left so we could enjoy our girl time. We all sat down and got comfy, then we watched train wreck. It was a funny movie but I wanted to watch a scary movie. Emmett was really protective of Sydney and I saw that if we watch a scary movie Emmett will come in to hold and comfort Sid. Sydney will fall asleep in Emmett's arms. 'Awww so cute' I thought

Sydney's POV

After watching train wreck the girls wanted to watch a scary movie. 'Friday The 13th', I hated scary movies so I protested but they overruled me 4 v.s. 1. As the movie played I wrapped myself In blankets getting ready for the jump scare. I felt strong arms wrap around me, I jumped, a little surprised by whoever was hugging me. I turned around and saw Emmett's beautiful face staring at me. I blushed and quickly turned back around. Then I felt it again, that pull, like all that mattered in the world was Emmett. Like he was my everything and I would never let him go. I shook the thoughts out of my head and turned my attention back to the TV. Then I was jump scared, I jumped and Emmett was right there to hold me. I turned my body inwards toward his and hid my face in his strong chest every time there was a scary moment. He just Held me and never let go, 3/4 way through the movie I started to get sleepy. I tried to get out of his embrace but he just kept me wrapped in his little cocoon. I felt safe, I didn't want to leave so I snuggled into him and drifted off into his arms. "I love you" I faintly heard someone whisper before I fell asleep. The next morning I woke up happy, I was laying down on something hard and stiff.

I lifted my head up and saw Emmett sleeping. 'OMG did I fall asleep on Emmett?' I was wrapped in his embrace tightly, like he didn't want to let me go. I felt safe being near him but also a pull. Like something was pulling me to him, no matter how hard I tried to not have feelings for him or not smile anytime I saw him but…..I couldn't. He attracts me like a magnet, I love everything about him. Him and his family make me happy, 'I wish I had a family like this' I thought. I felt Emmett shift in his sleep and I didn't want to wake him up. I looked over and saw rose and Alice wrapped in blankets asleep on the floor. I looked around and found a pillow beside me, I picked it up and threw it a them. They both woke up out of a startled sleep and looked around really confused. I waved my hands to get there attention, they both looked over at me and smiled. "Help me" I whispered they looked at each other and giggled before getting up and walking out of the room. I was whisper screaming as they were walking out "Where are you going?!". I very slowly untangled my arms and legs from Emmett's, stood up and tip toed out of the room. I closed the door behind me as I walked out of the room. I turned around too Alice and rose leaning against the walls smirking at me. I walked up to them and smacked them both on the arm. "Thanks for the help" I said the girls burst out laughing "sssshhhh, Emmett's still sleeping" I said the girls laughter died down and they both smiled at me.

Alice said "You like him don't you" I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks "I KNEW IT, YOU LIKE OUR BROTHER" rose said. "SSSHHH, don't tell everybody in the house" the girls looked sorry and I continued "Ok fine I do, I like your brother a lot….like a lot a lot." The girls got really excited and started squealing "SSHH" they both quieted down, then rose said "Then why don't you tell him how you feel." I looked at her but didn't say anything, then Alice said "Yea, you should tell him he feels the same way you do about him. And even if he didn't you should always tell someone how you feel" I looked over to her and thought about her words. 'She is right, I know, but that's easier said then done. He might like me now but I'm not going to lie to him about anything if we were ever in a relationship. It may change when he finds out about my past.' I thought. I looked back up at and said "Your right I should tell him how I feel, but that is easier said than done. There are things about me that none of You know and it could change how Emmett feels." Both girls looked at me with sincerity and said "The way he talks about you, I don't think anything could change how he feels about you." I smiled and said "Ok, but how am I supposed to tell Emmett how I feel, when should I tell him."

"Just be honest and talk to me" my face went as pale as a ghost the familiar deep voice that sounded from behind me 'Please don't let that be who I think it is' I thought. By this time Alice and Rose left the hallway, I turned around and saw Emmett in all his glory standing there with a gentle smile on his face. I instantly become flustered 'What is this guy doing to me' I looked at my feet "Let's talk in my room" Emmett said as he gently lifted my face to be level with his. I nodded my head and he lead me to his room. He opened the door to his room and allowed me to go first. "Thank you" I said as I walked in, I stood in the doorway of his room shocked by how cool it is. One of the walls in his room is just glass, it has a great view of the forest. The other walls were painted dark blue, he had a huge flat screen on his wall with many different game consoles. He has a huge rack of games beside his TV, beside that there was a stereo and speakers. I didn't see a bed, only a couch I turned around and asked "Where do you sleep, I don't see a bed" he chuckled a little, like there was something I was missing or some inside joke I didn't know. He walked over to the wall farthest from the door. There was a outline on the wall, like there was something behind that wall. He pushed the wall inwards and a bed fell down down. I was shocked, I've never seen any other bedroom like this one. He walked over to me, grabbed my hand and lead me over to his couch. We sat down and he said "Sydney, in the hallway you said that you had feelings for me, but what kind of feelings?"
