SM OWNS TWILIGHT.

Chapter Six.

Yawning, I stretched and rolled over. It took me a few moments to realize that the movement should have dumped me onto the floor. And that I was much too comfortable. With a groan, I slowly opened my eyes and rolled back over. That's strange. I was lying in my bed. I remembered falling asleep next to Rosalie in the hospital. I shuddered at the thought. I hoped that I was dreaming.

However, I knew deep down that it was not a dream. I sat up, and slowly slid out of the bed. Cautiously I made my way down the stairs. Suddenly I wondered - how did I get here? I sauntered into the living room, and stopped mid step when I noticed Emmett sitting at my couch with his head in his hands. He looked up, obviously hearing me enter the room. He discretely wiped away the tears pooling in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Emmett." I whispered. He sighed deeply, and flicked his lip ring with the tip of his tongue. He was silent for a few moments.

"I understand why you lied." He said finally, his voice calm. I nodded once, and shamefully stared down at the ground.

"It still doesn't excuse you for lying to me," he added. "But like I said before, I understand why you did it."

"I wanted to tell you," I said just above a whisper. I was afraid that if I spoke any louder, I would burst into tears. "Really, I did. I just couldn't bring myself to betray Rosalie." I explained, my voice breaking a little on the end. "I hope you'll forgive me." I bit my lip, as a few tears fell from my eyes. I tried to wipe them away before Emmett noticed them, but he did anyway.

He patted the empty space next to him, silently telling me to sit. I sat down, with my hands in my lap. I stared down at them as another tear streamed down my cheek. Emmett wrapped his arm securely around my shoulder, and pulled me closer.

"Stop that," he kindly demanded. "Of course I forgive you Bella."

I wiped away the tears with the back of my hand, and sighed deeply. "I really am sorry Emmett. I hope you know that."

"I know you are." He smiled. "But don't ever lie to me again, or I'll kick your ass." He threatened playfully, and pinched my side. I giggled softly and looked up at him. "I love her Bells," he whispered.

"I know you do Em, just take things slow with her."

He nodded in agreement. "I know,"

"Just be there for her, give her a shoulder to cry on. My sister is far from stupid, she'll come around eventually." I told him. He smiled genuinely, and kissed the top of my head.

"Rosie told me to watch over you until she gets home." He informed me. I frowned at that. "I'm not four years old." I grumbled under my breath.

"My dad says she'll be discharged in about two weeks. Three weeks tops." He added.

"I could kill him," I practically growled. He replied with a tight nod.

Emmett hated Royce just as much as I did, and he wanted revenge just as much as I did. I was thankful that God blessed Rosalie with a man as good as Emmett. I truly have not met anyone as kind hearted as this man. They deserved each other. I'm ashamed to say that I am a bit jealous.

I would like to believe that he was my soul mate. My "one and only". Considering I found him in bed with my quote unquote best friend, I couldn't help but reconsider. I was completely head over heels in love with him then, and much to my dismay I still am. I was beginning to think that I would spend the rest of my days alone, drowning in self-loathing over my lost love.

Someone once said that "it was better to have love and lost, then to have never loved at all." I don't exactly agree with that statement. If I could have just one wish, I would wish that I had never met him. The pain of having lost the love of my life was more than I could handle.

A few hours had passed by at a monotonous pace. I propped myself up on to the top of the kitchen counter, as Emmett raided my refrigerator.

"You don't have to go in tomorow if you don't want too." He said. I shook my head. "No, I want to go in." I heard him sigh. "You need the rest."

"No, I need the distraction." His eyes softened, and he nodded solemnly. "Can I at least give you a ride?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "Whatever, it'll save gas."

We stayed up for a few more hours, filling the time with light conversation. I managed to force myself up the stairs when I could barely keep my eyes open.

-oooOooo-

I was woken by the sound of my phone's alarm. I groaned, and rolled out of bed. I gathered my clothes, and quickly took a shower. Once I was finished, I plugged in my straightener, and quickly put my clothes on. After a few moments, the straightener was ready to use. Layer by layer I combed through my hair, making sure all my curls were string straight. After I made sure my hair was straight I pulled it back into a low pony tail, allowing the tail of hair to hang over my left shoulder. I wasn't a huge fan of wearing make up, so I didn't bother with it at all.

I turned the straightener off, and pulled open my bathroom mirror, reaching for my toothbrush. I brushed my teeth, examining my facial piercings in the mirror.I noticed that the swelling on my eyebrow piercing had gone down almost completely.

I finished up in the bathroom, and slipped on my shoes. Grabbing a purple sweat shirt and my purse, I made my way down stairs. Emmett smirked at me. "Took ya long enough, no wonder why you're always late." He said, as he rose from his seat on the couch.

I followed him outside, climbing into the passenger side of his Jeep. "I start school tomorow, so my hours are gonna have to change." I told him once he was strapped in. He nodded once, but didn't say anything.

After a few moments, Em broke the silence. "Are you going to see Rose today?"

"Most likely, are you?"

"No, I can't. I have to meet my cousin at the airport."

I raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"He called last night, and he's coming up here to live with me." He answered. I nodded slowly. "So you're not gonna be staying with me?" I asked, with a smile.

"Don't look so happy," he grumbled. I chuckled. "But, to answer your question, no I'm not. You better not tell Rosalie!"

"I won't." I giggled. He narrowed his eyes at me, and I smiled innocently. He pulled into the Spoons Ink parking lot, and turned towards me.

"Get out of my car, and get to work." I chuckled, flipping him the bird as I hopped out of the Jeep. I walked into the shop, and Renesmee smiled widely at me, and pulled me into a hug.

"How's Rose?" She asked.

"She's still breathing." I answered she smiled sadly at me. I tucked my purse under the counter, and sat down. The morning went by quicker than I expected. Renesmee and I were talking, when Emmett's 10:30 AM appointment arrived.

"I'm here to see Emmett Cullen." A husky voice said. The sound made my heart sink. I could recognize his voice anywhere. I clenched my fist, and slowly raised my eyes to look at him. He cast a sad glance at me, and opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off.

"Get the fuck out Jasper Whitlock." I growled.

Untill my next update,
