"Jake's right though" I said shaking my head and biting my lip I could taste the salty tears on my lips. "I am not good enough for him" I sobbed. "Now stop now!" Alice snapped. The door opened "she's right bells you are so much better then me Hun and that mutt was more right then a retard saying 1+1 equals 4." (no offense to the learning handicapped) Emmett said. I looked up at him and smiled through my tears. Alice stood up and walked to the door "Ill leave you two to converse" she said and then stepped out. "See that's all I wanted" Emmett said gesturing towards my smile. "I love you Em" I said as I laid my head on his shoulder. "I love you to B" Emmett responded as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep in my love's arms.
Chapter7: Hi Nate
Nate's pov:
Its been almost two weeks since I had saved Isabella swan from that creep. I couldn't get her out of my head. "Sis I know you sent me to that party that night to save her" I said to the heavens. I talked to my sister Vanessa all the time. She was my baby sister my responsibility to protect and I had let her down. But I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her even know she is not here. I picked up two newspaper articles and read the oldest first from a few years back.
Forks news

I skimmed through the rest I had read this article so many times it was worn and torn. I looked at the other article and read it for the 12th time in two weeks.

They had a picture of Bella Being held in arms. I just wish I had been sooner. If I had not drank and paid attention to that dumb blond louren Mallory I could have gotten there sooner. That's it I have to go see her. I decided as I stood up grabbing my jacket and walking out the door.
Bella's pov:
I rolled over getting to warm opening my eyes. I was in my room and nobody was there. I sat up quickly. "Emmett?" I called. No reply I went downstairs to see my dad sitting in the chair watching TV . "Hey bells how are you feeling?" He asked starting to get up. "Honey I am so sorry for what Jake said I had a talk with billy and..." I held my hand up to stop him. "Where's Emmett?" I asked. Dad nodded knowing I dint want to talk about Jake. "He said to tell you he was going to catch something to eat and he will stop by before dark" My dad said making a funny look when he quoted Emmett saying 'catch something to eat' I knew what he meant though.
"Funny boy made it sound like he was gonna go hunting and catch his meal" I laughed on the inside my dad had no clue how true that was. I dint want to talk more then needed so I turned and trudged back up the stairs. And slammed my door shut. I looked around the room I had nothing to do I hadn't been back to school yet I was supposed to start tomorrow Alice was re-enrolled with me.
I sat at my computer looking at the screen saver. I hadn't been home since the indecent and my wall paper was the same pictures of me and Edward went by. We looked so happy. Tears came to my eyes. I don't know what to do. I love Edward and I feel I am betraying him by loving his brother to. What do I do? I looked towards my radio and saw a yellow sticky note on it.
Bella
push play on the CD player this song should
help you feel better about the complex situation
you are in. And remember no matter what
we all love you.
Love your bff Alice
"That's weird" I said to myself but shrugged it off Alice the all knowing pixie. I tore the sticky note off and threw it in the trash and pressed play on the player. Music flowed through my room from a song I had never heard before. I turned it up and layed back on my bed listening carefully to the words...
someone once told me that you have to chose
what you win or lose, you cant have everything
don't you take chances you might feel the pain
don't you love in vain cause love wont set you free
I could stand by the side, and watch this life pass
me by so unhappy but safe as could be
So what if it hurts me! So what if I break down!
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
my feet run out of ground. I've gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound don't care about all the pain
in front of me cause i'm just trying to be happy
just wanna be happy ya
holding on tightly just can't let it go just trying to play
my role just slowly disappear
all these days they feel like there the same
just different faces different names get me outa here
but I cant stand by the side and watch this life pass
me by pass me by!
So what if it hurts me so what if I break down so what if
this world just throws me off the edge my feet run out
of ground I gotta find my place I wanna hear my sound
don't care about all the pain in front of me cause i'm just trying
to be happy, oh happy, so any turns that I cant see
I'll count a stranger on this road but don't say victim
don't say anything so what if it hurts me so what if I break down
so what if this world just throws me off the edge my feet
run out of ground. I gotta find my place I wanna hear my
sound don't care about all the pain in front of me I just wanna be happy
happy, happy, I just wanna be happy.
The CD stopped as I gasped. That song it was like it was send down from heaven just for my ears. What was it called? I wondered as I walked over to the CD player and opened it. I picked the c.d up 'Happy by Leona Lewis' I hugged the CD to my chest "Thank you Alice" I said a stray tear rolling down my face. I deserve to be happy. And Emmett is my happiness. Edward left me and as much as I loved him I had to let him go I couldn't just stand on the side and watch life pass by. A knock interrupted my thoughts I went to the window as I heard my dad walk to the door to answer. I looked out to see a rusty blue handa civic parked across the road.
"Bells its for you!" charlie shouted up the stairs. I walked downstairs looking towards the door. I saw the frame of a young man standing there my dad was talking to him. "She doesn't talk anymore" charlie told him. "Its OK sir I just wanted to see how she was doing" Charlie nodded and let him in. I was kind of shaky I wasn't comfortable around men yet except em. "Hi Bella" The guy said. "Do you remember me?" He asked. I shook my head. Charlie looked between me and the man who looked to be 19 or 20. Then back at me. "Bells this is Nathan colten he is the one that helped you...um...that night" he said. Scratching his head. He was nervous. "Ill just let you two um talk. I'll be right in the living room bells" My dad said and walked away.
"How are you?" Nate asked me. I just smiled a little. "Here" he said handing me a bouquet of flowers. It had a little pink teddy bear holding the vase. And a card that stuck out of the red roses and baby's breath that said 'get well bell'. I gave him a teary smile to say thank you. "No problem" he said with a sad smile. "You need a tissue?" he asked pointing to my tear streaked face. I shook my head no wiping my eyes on my shirt sleeve. Nate started to say something when there was another knock on the front door. I walked around Nate to the door. Opening it Emmett was standing there. "Em" I said hugging him to me. I dint realize my dad was now standing by Nate entail I walked in hand in hand with Emmett. "You talked" both charlie and Nate said at the same time. I nodded smiling. "Come on in Emmett!" My dad said so happy that I had talked.
Emmett walked in to stand by my dad and Nate. "Hi Nate" Emmett said with a smile that soon faded when he spotted the flowers I had laid on the counter. "Who are those from?" Emmett asked me hugging me to him. "Oh those are from me" Nate said. My dad looked between the three of us. My dad walked to the living room muttering "teenagers" and "Jealousy" what did he mean? I wondered but I found out when I looked at Emmett he had a look a mixture of jealousy, hurt and anger on his face.
So what did you think? Uh oh Emmett jealous of Nate! Not good what will happen next? R+R for more chapters.
