Here is kind of just a filler chapter. You get to understand why Emmett isn't talking to Edward. I got quite a few plots going on in my head. Just gotta get to those points. Enjoy : ) And of course I don't own these characters!

Friends? Is that really all I wanted? I felt bad for tell him what it was like when he left me but I had to let him know. It hurt me hearing him cry in his room earlier. I remember all to well what that was like. Even thought he hurt me, it hurt to know he was depressed because of me. I can't stop caring for him and when I see the pain in his eyes I wanted to just take him away.

"I forgot how good it was to be around you," I admitted to him.

"Ya, it feels natural to do this," I'm glad we both felt the same. Before I could continue my phone rang, it was Emmett. I gave Edward a look.

"John?" he guessed

"Emmett," I corrected him.

"Well you can't ignore him forever," he was right. So I answered it.

"Hey Emmett"

"Hey Bella. What are you doing?"

"Sitting outside," failing to mention with who.

"By yourself?"

"Nope."

"With who?" should I tell him?

"Edward," I said without explain. I could tell Edward was worried.

"What?" he sounded mad.

"You heard me."

"Why?"

"That is a long story I don't want to tell."

"Does John know?"

"He knows he is here but me and John aren't talking."

"Why? Because of Edward?" he wanted to be right.

"No it has nothing to do with him."

"Then what is it?"

"Because I don't love him," Edward in a way looked satisfied.

"Yes you do," I was not arguing about this.

"No I don't Emmett. Don't piss me off."

"Well whatever. How is Edward?"

"He's good. We had fun today."

"I don't approve Bella."

"You don't have to. Why don't I just call you later and give you the details."

"Fine." He hung up. I understand why he was mad. But he needed to trust me. Edward looked upset.

"He will be fine Edward." I reassured him.

"Why does he hate me so much?" I knew why but should I tell him?

"I don't know if you can handle it tonight," I didn't want to hurt him even more.

"Just tell me," I hope he wouldn't regret this.

"I told you how bad I was for the first few months. Well there was a week that was really bad. Alice and Jasper couldn't handle me. So Alice called your mom and they decided that your family would come down to help. None of them knew how bad it was," I stopped for a moment to let Edward prepare.

"The first might was the worst. It was so hard because I could see you in all of them. I didn't leave my bed. I was just so weak. I would scream and cry and toss and turn. I couldn't control myself. I could see in everyone's eyes how hard it was to watch. The first night they all slept in my room. Your mom and dad at the foot of my bed, Jasper and Rosalie on the floor, and I slept between Emmett and Alice. I cried myself to sleep in Emmett's arms. I still woke up a lot but that was the first night of sleep I didn't wake up screaming. The next night wasn't so bad. Emmett and Rose stayed with me. Again I cried myself to sleep in Emmett's arms. That was a better sleep. The last night they were here I actually slept by myself. And ever since then Emmett has been like my big brother. It is hard for him to be mad at you but it hurt him and the rest of your family to see that. I think it won't take long for him to be okay with us talking. I just got to work my magic," I smiled to let him know it was okay.

"I hope so. I just want things to be back to normal," his wish was the same as mine but so far from coming true.

"Don't hold your breath on that one," we both frowned.

The rest of the night was relaxing. The subject of "us" was not brought up again. It was much easier that way. We laughed a lot. It felt so good. I didn't want to leave him. I didn't want the night to end. I felt like I was slowly becoming whole again.

"Well I think I'm gonna go call your brother. You should get some sleep too," I said while he yawned.

"I think you are right," we both stood up, cleaned up our mess, and went inside.

"Good night Bella. Thanks for tonight."

"Anytime. Thank you for today. Good night," he nodded and we went our separate ways.

I got changed and settled in bed. I picked up my phone and called Emmett.

"Bella," he answered.

"No hi?" that's rude.

"Tell me what the hell is going on." So without arguing I told every detail of the last two days. He took it better than I thought and like I said he was fine with Edward.

"I'm glad he has changed. It was hard to stay mad at him."

"Ya it makes things easier."

"So are you gonna stay with John?" I thought about it for a moment.

"I'm gonna try this again. I'm gonna tell him that me and Edward were together at one point but now there is nothing. Hopefully we can get back to the way it was," who was I kidding.

"I hope he understands. He better anyways. So can I come down Friday?"

"If you want to. You'd either have to take the couch or sleep with Edward," he and I both laughed.

"Ok well I'll let you know more about the weekend later. Get some rest."

"Okay. Night Emmett."

"Night Bella."

It didn't take much to fall asleep. And it didn't take much to dream of Edward.

: ) I'll update soon!
