Emmett POV

I watched out of the corner of my eye as Bella descended the stairs slowly and silently. I wanted so badly to run up to her, take her into my arms. She looked so wonderful, even if it was clear that she had spent no time creating her look. "Good morning Bella." I said gently, not expecting an answer. Instead her eyes filled with tears as she entered the kitchen where Esme was making scrambled eggs. What had I done wrong? I couldn't figure it out. What could have been so bad that every time I said something she cried?

Edward appeared behind me. I didn't acknowledge his presence again. All his words of wisdom had done nothing.

"It's the same." He whispered urgently, turning to face me.

"Same." I repeated, confused. Edward seemed to think that everyone was just as "intelligent" as he his. But in fact I never really have any idea what he is talking about.

"Same as when I left…I saw it in Jacob's thoughts." His eyes darkened. I knew this was never an easy subject for him. Nor for me. "The blank look, the way as if she's disconnected from the rest of the world."

Three long days, three days without her hug, her touch, her kiss, her feel. I felt dead and depressed just seeing the look on Bella's face. She was gone…away from everyone and it was my entire fault. Scenes flashed through my head…

In the classroom, the day after Seattle:

"Miss Swan!" She didn't look up, she didn't seem to hear. Just a blank look, of nothingness. As if she was an empty shell.

I raised my hand, I could cover it up. Even if Bella didn't care anymore, I did. "Ms. Hunt? Bella got a sore throat when we were in Seattle the other day, my father told her not to talk." I smiled at Bella, but she looked straight ahead, ignoring me, as I knew she would.

"Is that true Miss Swan?" I waited for Bella to respond, she finally nodded her head slightly.

"Oh, so she can't act like she's here either?" Mike snickered. I cracked my knuckles and stared menacingly at him. This creep was NOT going to upset Bella more than she already was. Think, I told myself. Think that he's just part of some video game. That he doesn't mean anything. I shook my head clear.

Another scene…this time in the cafeteria.

"Bella baby, eat something!" I pleaded with her. I hadn't seen her touch anything since two days ago. An occasional sip of water, but nothing else. Everyday Bella looked more and more like one of us. Since the morning that Esme had prepared breakfast she ate nothing. "How about an apple?" I held up the disgusting green fruit, it had been something Bella liked at some point. With peanut butter. No response. I put the apple to her lips, but they stayed clamped shut as she shoved my hand away.

"Bella! Let's go shopping! I saw the CUTEST set of jogging pants from Juicy in green!"

"Alice, now is not the time." I murmured.

She pouted. "It's ALWAYS time to go shopping!" I could see the faked enthusiasm; no one had any energy anymore. It was as if Bella was dead and no one wanted to talk, to do anything whatsoever.

"Please Bella?" Alice puckered her lips in a plea.

"ALICE I SAID NO! I DO NOT WANT TO GO SHOPPING WITH YOU! I DO NOT WANT TO EAT AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE BOTHERED! IS THAT TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?" All of our eyes widened. Now THAT had been unexpected. I tried to put my arm around Bella but she got up and let the cafeteria tears in her eyes. Tears of anger, sadness, pain…

Now we were watching a movie with the family. I returned from the memories. I didn't want to remember them. I wanted so badly to help, to make things better…

"How about Raise Your Voice?" Rosalie questioned. "It's about this girl who's brother dies and she really wants to go to this singing summer camp but her dad won't let her and then she does and she meets this guy…

"It's good!" I agreed with a grin. " I loved it!"

Rosalie smiled, "You've never seen it Em," Everyone laughed, a twinkling sound of wind chimes. But the one laugh I wanted to hear was not there. Bella got up, grabbing a book and headed to our room.

"What is wrong with her?" Esme asked sadly, watching Bella leave.

I shook my head, "I don't know…ever since Seattle." Something in my mind clicked. "She wants to get away from everything..." I whispered.

"Great Emmett. Since we didn't know that." Edward said dryly, his serene façade showed nothing, probably for my sake. But I knew that something was boiling behind it.

"I mean..." I tried to phrase my words. I knew what I wanted to say but not how to say it. "When we were gone," I continued. "She tried to get away from everything reminding her of you…"

"Emmett." Carlisle murmured, "Don't.."

"I'm not TRYING to hurt Edward." I didn't have to be a genius to know what he was saying. "It's just that now she's trying to forget anything that has to do with anyone she's hurt." Everything was silent for a moment.

"I don't think so." Edward said aloud, I bound up the steps, into our room. I opened the door loudly, slamming it shut, I felt anger boiling inside me, ticking like a time bomb, ready to explode any minute. I could see Bella at the desk scribbling furiously in a notebook, the words smudging because of the thick tears.

"You're getting the paper wet you know." I said quietly, drifting towards her. Nothing. For the first time I noticed the ring was gone. The ring that I had given her. When had Bella taken it off? Saturday evening? Monday? Tuesday? Today? I knew what was happening, she didn't want me anymore.

I broke away from my thoughts once again, ever since I had been with Bella I did A LOT of thinking. My cell phone was ringing on the desk table.

"Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide"

"Even the best fall down sometimes

You and I collide"

I glanced warily at the caller I.D… Charlie… I internally groaned. Now was not the time for them to talk. Especially with Bella in this state. I went against my better judgment, answering the phone.

"Hello?"

"Emmett Cullen?" A voice growled on the other line.

"Yes? Who's speaking?" I asked politely. As much as he probably hates me I have to be polite.

"I need to speak to Bella." Charlie said gruffly.

I cleared my throat, "Umm…Now isn't a very good time for that…."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOW ISNT A VERY GOOD TIME?" He roared. I held the phone away from my ear. "AND WHY doesn't SHE answer her phone?" His voice quieted down.

"Sir, I don't know. I didn't even know her phone was off." Well maybe that explained the unanswered texts, or if she had turned it on Bella didn't care. At least the "New Bella" didn't.

"SHE YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR IS SHE BACK WITH YOUR BROTHER?" He screamed again.

"Please lower your voice." My voice sounded deadly, demanding, an order. "And no, she is not with my brother, Bella is still my girlfriend. Now if you would like to speak to her you can just ask." I insisted.

"Yes." He cleared his throat. "May I please speak to Bella?"

"Yeah." I muttered. "If she wants to talk to you." I handed the phone to Bella. "It's Charlie," I murmured in her ear. A look of panic crossed her eyes. She reached for the phone and threw it against the wall.

"BELLA!" My new iphone was in pieces, the back had been torn off and the screen was cracked in more places than one.

"What? You can't afford to buy a new one?" She rolled her eyes and turned back to her "work".

"That's not the point. God Damn it Bella!" I exclaimed, letting my anger get the best of me. "I don't get it!" I paced the room like a caged lion, screaming now. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" I noticed the desk shaking on the pounding of my footsteps. I didn't care, all I cared about was figuring out what was going on with Bella. Bella didn't say anything, just shook her head, tears coming more willingly now.

"Why won't you talk to me?" I cried. "Why is it that every time you look at me you cry? I can't take it anymore!" I slammed into a chair and put my head in my hands. I might be made of marble but it didn't mean I didn't have any feelings. "If you don't love me just say so, break up with me." I wished with all of my dead heart that this wasn't the case. I would kill myself without her.

The tears turned into sobs and she crumpled to the floor. I ran to her side cradling her to my chest. I smoothed her hair back, holding her closer.

"I did it again….I did it again.." She cried, each word becoming more panicked.

"Bella. Calm down. You didn't do anything. What do you think you did?" I set her on my lap, waiting for her to speak.

"I've hurt you again. I told myself I would never hurt you again and I did."

"Isabella Marie Swan. Listen to me." I held her face in my hands. "I love you. I don't care if you've hurt me. You can hurt me again and again. I will ALWAYS be under your spell. If you choose to walk away from me, you'll take my heart with you, and then I don't know what I'll do." I said truthfully. The words that had been lulling in my head exploded.
