Emmet POV
"I..I don't know Bella." She stared into my eyes, fire burning within them. When she finally spoke her voice was calm and understanding.
"Emmet, tell me something." She ordered softly, her face blank.
"Do you love me?" I didn't hesitate for a second. I loved her, more than anything in the world. More than video games or sports or Rosalie.
"Of course." I responded automatically.
"Why is it then that you can't change me?" she asked harshly, with piercing hateful eyes.
"Because…" I sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. "Because I can't bear never to see you blush or cry or…or." I took a deep breath. "Not be human."
"Ugh, Can't you come up with a better excuse?" she asked bitterly. "It's old. You sound exactly like your dear, dear brother." She gave me a lethal glare. I shifted uncomfortably on the bed.
"It's true," I insisted. "He was right." My last words were barely audible.
"God, I don't get it." She stood up again. "No one ever cares about what I want." I opened my mouth to speak but she interrupted.
"I know you care." She poorly disguised the resentment in her voice. "But you or Edward never cared to wonder what I wanted. It's MY life, MY soul, and MY decision. Is that so hard to understand? And if I choose to be a vampire it has nothing to do with YOU." She trembled with rage.
I had never thought of it this way. It was her life, her soul and her decision. I couldn't stop her. "Fine." I sighed, maybe it was for the best. "I'll change you."
She grinned, "I knew you would."
"Noooo!!!!" We both looked up from our position to the door. Everything went in slow motion after that. The door was ripped from the hinges and Edward came flying through. I quickly shielded Bella. He flew on top of me, Bella moved out of the way. He was snarling and we rolled around the room.
"STTTTOOOOOOPPPP! BOTH OF YOU!' Bella shrieked above the pandemonium in the room.
Esme was glaring at us in the doorway. "Downstairs both of you!" she commanded. Her eyes were flashing, I had never seen her like this…ever.
Bella followed Esme. We followed the two of them into the living room. Alice, Carlisle, Jasper and Rosalie were glaring at us.
"Sit!" she commanded again and we plopped onto the coach.
Carlisle spoke firmly, "This can't go on." Bella nodded in agreement. Edward's eyes narrowed. "Both of you can't keep on fighting over Bella. It's not possible and it won't work."
Edward opened his mouth to argue, his voice coming out as a roar. "I have every right to…"
"No." Carlisle's voice sliced his in two. "I will NOT see this family ripped apart. Edward, I'm sorry, but it's your fault." His face softened.
Edward turned paler than usual and his face crumpled.
Carlisle cleared his throat, "You chose to care more about Bella's safety than about anything else. You chose to leave her with Emmet and you chose not to change her."
"Had I known." Edward muttered.
"I'm sorry son, but you have to let them live, whether you like it or not. Unless Bella chooses otherwise."

Carlisle turned to stare at me. I hadn't said anything during this whole charade. What could I have said? He had said the words that I had known all along. I had ripped this family apart. I sighed, "I'm sorry Edward." I looked down and pain froze in his beautiful features. "I warned you, I told you. You didn't listen." I whispered, tears brimming.
"I'll change, I promise. I'll change you. Please Bella. God don't do this to me, Please!" he cried and I looked away. "I love you." He whispered.
I cried. "I can't take this anymore." I sobbed into Esme's arm. It was more comforting than either boy. "Do you know how much pressure this is on me? Do either of you realize that every word you both say stabs me in the heart?" Jasper tried to spread waves of calm in my direction, I pushed them back. He left the room, the knives flung in my direction were probably too much for him to handle.
Alice came to my side, putting her arm around my shoulder, "Bella it'll be ok. I promise. Really."
"No, it won't" I retorted acidly. And I realized it wouldn't. Never would it be ok. As long as both Edward and Emmet were in the picture I couldn't live. I only wanted one. "I'm sorry Edward." My tears giving me the extra strength. "I can't give you that. It's friendship or nothing. I refuse to deal with this. I just need to go home."Alice directed me towards the door.
"This isn't over." Edward muttered.
I pivoted around. "This is over." I screamed at him. "Don't try anything, if you actually love me you'll leave me alone forever or however long I live." I turned back around and Alice guided me towards the door. I stepped into the black Mercedes and slammed the door shut.
