Chapter Two: It Makes You Think

"Bella! Bella! Come out come out wherever you are!"

I giggled softly, digging my feet into the ground harder, keeping my crouched stance behind the large bush. I could see him now in the distance, he was looking around, turning in circles his head looking up to the sky.

He scratched his curly head and stopped in his place.

"huh." I heard him whisper to himself, and I chuckled lightly with a soft snort. He turned in the direction of the bush and I gasped lightly.

I heard him chuckle.

"Pac Man I'd know that snort anywhere." he informed me walking towards that bush "and I'd know that little gasp anywhere even more."

I bit my lip to keep from giggling again. My heart began pounding and my fists uncurled and curled again.

"Bella" he mumbled, looking around. I shut my eyes and reopened them to find he was becoming hazy.

I gasped again and he came closer, his face was still blurry "Bella" he said again.

I stood up so he could see me, so he could find me.

"Bella I cant see you…I cant find you" he said

"Emmett! Emmett I'm right here! Please Emmett" I said, yelling it seemed and he continued to look at me but not look at me. He was so close, but I not there.

"Bella, its time for you to wake up."

My eyes opened as I felt light water drops falling from my face down my cheek. Dad stroked my arm lovingly.

"Bella, honey are you awake? You were having a bad dream"

I shook my head "no dad, it…it was a good dream. B-but at the end." I shook my head not being able to get the words out.

"Bella, is this still about that Emmett kid?"

My eyes blazed "no its not about that Emmett kid. its about Emmett, my best friend daddy"

I was fourteen, and once again found myself in the hospital under going treatment for my four year battle of Cancer. I hadn't seen Emmett since the day he realized something was terribly wrong with me. My hair had fallen out right in front of his eyes and then I had fallen to the ground unconscious. When I awoke, I was in a car, speeding down the streets to the hospital, where Emmett's dad, Dr. Cullen worked.

Dr. Cullen was a good doctor, he was always very loving and precise when it came to healing my injuries, I had been in there many times before.

However this time…he turned us away. I remember gazing up into his eyes when he looked at mom and dad straight faced and whispered, "we just don't have the technology to take care of Bella, here in Forks. She needs to go to a bigger city, with more people, with more of a chance. I'm sorry"

I didn't understand at the time, I thought he was merely sick of helping us and that made the flesh under my skin boil.

But now, as I laid on the cool hospital bed with no energy, my eyes swollen and my skin so pale is was almost translucent I realized the meaning of his words.

We were in Phoenix, one of the largest cities out there and even they were having a troublesome time healing me. They continued to feed me medicine after medicine, give me shot after shot, make me eat healthy and when I had the energy, do a little bit of exercising.

I shut my eyes and everything was quiet. I missed Forks, the small town had always been my home. It never rained here, and everything was brown. This wasn't home, this was where the medicine was.

But how was I expected to live without Emmett with me? He was my very best friend. My mom even thought we were going to get married one day which I, at the time, grew red to and let out a large groan.

Emmett would chuckle and pull me into his arms kissing my cheek, then tease me the rest of the day calling me his "wifey"

I missed Monkey man. He was in fact the reason I loved Forks so much, he was the reason I missed home, not the rain or green grass. Truth was, I hated the rain.

I moved my small arm over my stomach gently and patted it with the other, turning my head away from my dad, signaling that I didn't want to talk right now.

My mind began drifting back to Forks, back to the day I met Emmett. My family moved to Forks from Jacksonville when I was just four years old. The small town was uncomforting and different. It felt all wrong, until I saw him.

The doors of the small car opened and mom smiled down at me "Bella, we're here. Come on out and stretch."

I looked outside to see a soft morning mist covering the gray dreary sky. There were no clouds, or palm trees or beaches, just rain, gray and grass.

I stepped out, my small sandals getting covered in mud and looked around in distaste.

"What was wrong with Jacksonville momma?" I asked shivering lightly under the cold rain.

She smiled lightly "You know Daddy was asked to work here. They need a police man, right?" mom tried simplifying it for me.

I nodded once placing my arms over each other and rubbing them up and down.

"I'm going to help daddy unload the truck, okay?"

I didn't respond and she walked away lightly, I was too busy looking at the most peculiar scene.

Running, down the street was a small boy his hair dripping wet along with his clothing, he would run softly until a puddle crossed his path, then he would stop, jump in it, laugh evilly and then keep going.

I smiled and ran to the edge of our driveway, momma had told me many times not to leave the driveway and I didn't want to disobey her.

"Hi!" I yelled, hoping he heard. He glanced over at me and then smiled cheekily running over to where I stood "Howdy!" he said loudly.

I winced and then smiled "I'm Bella"

"I'm Emmett. I'm a monkey!" he said excitedly and then got down on his hands and knees, balling his hands into fists and walking on them, his feet swinging behind him as he chanted "oo oo ah ah!!"

I laughed and clapped my hands "You do look like a monkey!"

He smiled standing up and wiping the small rubble that stuck on his knees and fists.

"Are you my friend?" I asked him, raising my shoulders to meet my head.

He smiled and looked up to the sky "um….yes! You're my best friend" he declared.

I giggled, clapping again "Yay!"

"Bella! Bella come inside now you're going to get soaked!" momma yelled from the car motioning for me to follow her.

"Bye monkey boy!"

"Hey! I'm not a boy!" he shouted, making me stop in my tracks "I'm a man!"

"sorry" I said looking down and then smiling again "bye monkey man!!"

I laughed a little at the distant memory leaning onto my pillow.

every night as I went to sleep I thought of him, there wasn't a day that passed when I didn't wonder about him, where he was now. Did he miss me? Did he even remember me? Maybe he was glad I moved.

What if he didn't miss me! What if he's forgotten about me and moved on. He probably has a new best friend, named Ella who moved across the street in my old home. She probably has a better name for him, like Tiger Man or Lion Man. They probably laugh at all the stupid things me and Emmett did and make fun of me.

I bet he's burned all my pictures and sold all the things I've given him. I held on tighter to the small bear that never left my side, the small bear that Emmett won for me at the town's carnival the summer before I turned 9.

I continued to attempt to hit the milk bottles again and again groaning and reaching into my purse to grab any spare change I had left over.

"What's the matter pac man?" Emmett asked walking over, his mouth full of the cotton candy he was holding.

My head fell on the counter top "I want to win that!" I said pointing to the large teddy bear hanging up on the ceiling of the booth.

He laughed "That thing is bigger than you are pac man! What do you have to do to win that thing?"

"hit those" I grumbled pointing to the stupid milk bottles that seemed to be glued together because I could just not hit them!

He laughed at my glare towards the milk bottles.

"it cant be that hard, how many times have you tried?"

"15 times! Its useless I just cant do it"

He chuckled "Let me try"

"I don't have any more money Monkey Man"

He rolled his eyes picking me up and moving me off the large seat "I wouldn't make you pay stupid. Now move before I change my mind"

I smiled widely leaning on his shoulder as he paid the man twenty-five cents.

He waited a moment and then wound up his arm, throwing the puck right at the bottles.

He hit down two and the man handed him a very small version of the large teddy bear I wanted.

He looked down at it and laughed a little handing it to me "Sorry I couldn't win you the one you wanted"

I wound my arms around his large form, even for an eight year old the kid was big.

"Thank you Emmett! Its wonderful! Thank you"

He winked at me, grabbing my hand and stuffing cotton candy in my mouth "Come on Pac Man I want to go on the bumper cars!"

I smiled down at the bear.

"no" I whispered "Emmett could never forget about me. He loves me just as much as I love him"

I still couldn't help but wonder, does he have hard feelings towards me still? I packed up and moved, never seeing him again, never warning him.

How would I feel? Would I be angry with him?

I sighed "I'm sorry Emmett…I'm so sorry"
