"FINE!" My tone came out exasperated. "Edward, I'll meet you at the car." Edward sprinted through the tiny doors towards the car as Emmett sat down. "Talk then." I crossed my arms, glaring at him.

"Well.." He brushed his hands through his hair rapidly. "I..I was waiting for you and Rosalie showed up." I raised my eyebrows. So THIS was where everything had gone wrong. "And she was sobbing because Edward hit her." I let out a tiny gasp. Had he actually hit Rosalie? No, it couldn't be true.

"Even if that's true, what does that have to do with anything?" I was struggling to understand what was going on. My mind was working at a mile a minute. Did Emmett actually love me? THAT was the million-dollar question.

"Because!" Emmett let out in an irritated tone. "I was trying to be a good friend." I rolled my eyes lamely.

"That's ALL I've heard. "I was trying to be a good friend" "I was trying to be a good friend."" I mimicked icily. "There is a line between friendship and…and.." I struggled for words.

"Relationshipness?" Emmett added thoughtfully. I felt the need to laugh, but I kept my lips closed tightly together.

"Exactly. And you crossed the line." Now that everything had been said outloud, it seemed as if it was not that big of a deal. But IF I did accept Emmett back what would keep him from being a "good friend" again? But what would keep Edward from leaving me again like last time if I took him back?

"Well that sucks." Emmett stated in a frown. "Because technically you cheated on me too."

"WHAT?" I exclaimed. What was he talking about now? I'd never actually cheated on anyone. Between the two boyfriend's I'd had. "That's not true. I wouldn't betray you." I cried.

"Because didn't you kiss Edward?" My eyes widened, I HAD kissed Edward, but that was an accident, THAT wasn't on purpose.

"But..But…I didn't kiss Edward, he kissed ME." I stressed every syllable. "And he was just trying to help." I covered my mouth. What had I said now? Emmett laughed jovially.

"I just caught you at your own game. Because I didn't kiss Rosalie, she just kissed me. And I was trying to be a good friend. And Edward was trying to be a good friend and he kissed you. So now we're even." He crossed his arms, copying my posture. He was glowing with happiness. Since when did he get such a huge brain?

"What does even make us? Does that change anything between us? All that says is that every time something happens we'll just go to our exes for help. And that's not fair to them is it?" I wished I could slap myself. Watching Emmett's face fall, ripped at my heart. I wanted us back. I wanted us to be happy.

"That's the whole point of a relationship Bella. Working through every problem. As long as we love each other nothing else should matter? Right?" He closed his eyes briefly, pinching the bridge of his nose. Boiling tears streamed down my face as thoughts rushed through my head.

"What if…what if…what if I said," I paused not being able to speak. These words would change everything. They would change my life. "I didn't love you anymore?" I whispered, my voice thin air.

"Then that's different." Emmett said disbelievingly. "Is that what you wanted to say?" He questioned, his expression wiped blank.

"I…no." I said genuinely. I followed the scratches on the worn table with my eyes, the swirls circling until I turned busy.

"Then what's the problem?" Emmett scratched his head, staring at me, relief flooding his features.

I sighed. Did I HAVE to reexplain everything to him too? I didn't want to. But I HAD to. "Because I'm tired Emmett. Tired of going through with all these problems." My voice sounded guarded as if I was talking to a stranger.

"So you think that breaking up with me? Or even leaving will solve everything?" Emmett demanded angrily. His expression, ready to kill me.

"No," He was right again, what could I possibly say to make him understand my feelings? "It's just that, NOTHING is going to work Emmett. Okay?" I sobbed quietly. "Because your family is never going to be the same if I stay. I've ruined everything. And I don't want to always blame myself." My words rang clear, because they were true.

EPOV

Anger boiled within me. Did she think that leaving would solve everyone's problems? "Leaving is NOT going to do anything." My teeth stayed slammed together. "Do you think that if you leave Rosalie and I will get back together?" Bella nodded unsurely. "Well you're wrong!" I roared. "Because I only love one person, and that person is you. And if you won't let me love you then I refuse to love anyone else."

Bella smiled sadly, and I knew that our love was still true, even if it was deep down inside. "You'll get over me." She said and I shook my head quickly. "Years would go by and you'd learn to live. What difference would it make anyway? Me being a 30-year-old women with a 24-year-old guy? I don't think so." My head shot up. If that's what I had to do to get her back then I would.

"No one said that you had to grow old while I stay young." She gripped the table in shock, falling against the table. "Bella? Bella?" I called, as she didn't stir. What had I done now?
