Chapter 4: Spaghetti
RPOV
When I woke up, I was instantly alert. I knew he was here. I knew that he was staring at me. I knew that he was holding his breath. How I know any of this, I don't know. I could just tell. I didn't know what to do. Should I stay here, and wait until he says something? What if this didn't end well? What would happen then?
"I know you're awake," Emmett said after a little bit.
"I know you know that I'm awake," I told him back.
"Why didn't you say anything then?" He asked me. I finally turned around to face him. He looked in pain. His body was so stiff and still that it looked like he was a statue. He looked so uncomfortable. He was uncomfortable because of me. That thought struck me hard. Why did this happen to me?
"I didn't know what to say," I told him, honestly. Emmett didn't say anything back. He just sat there and continued to look in pain. Finally, I couldn't stand it anything. I stood up, slowly, to show him what I was doing. I started walking closer and closer to him.
"Rose, I don't think this is a good idea." He said in a strangled voice.
"Shut up." I knew that this could be a bad idea, but I trusted him. I wanted to show him that everything was going to be ok. Once I got close enough to touch him, I put my hands up, and put them up on his cheeks. I sighed in contentment, and I could feel him slowly relax too. He shut his eyes, and started to breathe in and out gently.
"Relax," I told him. I pulled my hands down from his face, and put them down around his neck, hugging him. I could feel his arms gently wrap around my waist. "God, I missed you." We were both silent for a while. Finally I realized why I had missed him. My reason for missing him. He had left. He left me when I was vulnerable. I needed him, and he had left. He was gone, just like that. I could feel myself getting angrier and angrier. Stupid, stupid, stupid, I thought. He should be begging for my forgiveness. Emmett should be on his knees begging me to take him back. Annoyed, I pulled back, and stepped away from him.
He looked up at me, confused. "Rosie, what's wrong?" He wasn't making this easy for me. All I wanted to do was run into his arms, and forgive him. I had to be strong, though.
"Don't 'Rosie' me." Secretly, I loved it when he called me Rosie, but I was supposed to be mad at him.
"Rose, what's the matter?" He knew what the problem was, but he just didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to admit that he had hurt me.
"You left! You left me here, all by myself, and not having any clue what the hell was going on. I had no idea what was going on with me, or where you were. I was freaking out. I didn't know what to do, or what to think." I went to go sit down on the edge of our bed. My head was spinning.
"I'm so sorry, Rose. I didn't know what to do either-" I cut Emmett off. I didn't want to hear what he had to say.
"You didn't know what to do? You didn't know what to do! You were supposed to comfort me. You were supposed to help me and tell me what the hell what going on. You were just supposed to be there for me." I whispered the last part. I could feel my exterior starting to shatter. The tears were threatening to spill any second, and I couldn't let that happen. I had to get out of there. I was closest to the bathroom. I ran towards that door, and slammed it shut. I locked the door, even though I knew that a stupid lock wouldn't stop a vampire.
I slid down that bathroom door, and cried. I knew the whole house could hear me right now, but I didn't care. I just wanted things to go back to how they were. Why did this happen to me? Why couldn't it happen to some other unlucky person.
How long I sat on the bathroom floor, I don't know. I'd assume it was a while, because Emmett finally came and knocked on the door.
"Rosalie, can I please come in?" He asked me.
"No." I told him.
"Then, can you come out here, please?" He sounded so broken.
"No." My voice cracked.
"Please, Rosie, come out. You need food and water."
"No, Emmett! Just go away!" I didn't hear anything for a bit. I assumed he had left, but all of a sudden there was a loud crack. I looked up and saw Emmett slamming open the door. "Was that really necessary?" I huffed.
"Yes," was all he said.
"Why, Em? Why was it so important to break the fucking door?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"No, it's not obvious. If it was obvious, then I wouldn't have asked, Moron."
"Well, there might have been an earthquake, causing the bathroom to cave in, causing you to get squashed, and since you're so breakable you would have died, and we can't have that happening now can we?" He grabbed my hand, wrapped his arms around my waist, and lifted me up onto his shoulder.
"How could anyone have known that? I'm not breakable! Where the hell are we going, Em?" I started pounding onto his back with my fists. Though, it was no use, since his back was as hard as marble.
"To get you something to eat!" He said it like I should have already known.
"Can you let go of me?" I asked him as we were leaving our bedroom.
"Maybe if you said it nicely."
"Can you please let go of me?"
"Hmmm… Let me think about that." He stopped, and pretended to think about it. "Nope!" I groaned. He proceeded down the stairs at inhuman speed, and only stopped once we were at the kitchen. He finally set me down, and pulled out a chair for me at the kitchen table. I instantly stopped. He pulled out my chair for me? I mean, Emmett is nice and sweet, but he never pulls out my seat for me. I looked at him suspiciously.
"What was that?" I questioned him.
"What was what?" He acted like he had no clue what I was talking about.
"That!" I pointed at the chair. "What was that? You never pull out my chair for me."
"It was… I don't know! I just… you know."
"No, Emmett, I don't know." I laughed at his embarrassment. "Thank you. Whatever that was, it was very sweet of you."
"You're welcome," He mumbled. "I'm gonna go find Esme, and see if she can make you something to eat." He started walking towards the kitchen door, but stopped. He turned toward me, and looked at me intently. "I love you, Rose. So much." I turned my head away from him, and didn't say it back. Of course I still loved him. I just needed time, though.
Twenty seconds later, Emmett came back in with Esme. "What do you want, sweetie?" Esme asked me.
"I don't care," I told her. I didn't really know what any of the stuff was that I ate. Emmett came and sat next to me. He looked unsure of what to say or do, so I grabbed his hand and laced my fingers through his. I sighed in contentment, and Emmett flashed me a brilliant smile.
"Here you go, dear." Esme sat the food in front of me a while later. Emmett and I looked down, and Emmett gave a sound of disgust. It didn't look to good to me, either.
"Umm… Esme, what is it?" I start moving the red and stringy food around on my plate.
"It's just spaghetti. I didn't think you would want anything bit tonight." I mumbled thanks, and started eating. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good.
Several hours later, I found myself getting ready for bed. I grabbed a tank top and some shorts, and started to change, not caring that Emmett was in the room. I heard a gasp and turned to see Emmett staring at me. His eyes were slowly turning from honey to black. A large crack penetrated the room, and I saw that Emmett had snapped the arms of the chairs he was sitting in. I looked back up to his face, and saw that his eyes were shut.
"Rosalie, would you please put some clothes on," he begged me. I only laughed, and finished changing. I got into bed, and slowly let myself sink into the comfy mattress. Emmett turned the light off, and I looked over to him.
"Uh, could you please, um, you know? Could you please sleep with me?" I mumbled. His eyes got really big as if it were the craziest thing ever. "Not like that, Em. I really mean, can you sleep with me? I'll just sleep better knowing that you here next to me. You don't have to stay here all night, but could you just stay until I fall asleep?" I was rambling like crazy.
Emmett laughed a little and said, "of course." He got into the bed and lay up against my back. His arms wrapped around my waist, and pulled me closer to him. "I love you," was the last thing I heard from him, until I fell asleep.
