I don't own twilight

Emmett POV

I walked out of the diner stealing a glance at Bella. It felt strange to be back in Forks. I had been in New York for what feel like forever. It was hard coming back to Forks. One of the reasons that I'd chosen to go to Seattle for my residency instead of Forks General like dad wanted. It was just to hard to be in this tiny town with the memories with the shame that wasn't even mine. And the girl, that one girl who I could never have. I got into my car and made my way to the house. Pulling into the driveway I stared at the giant mansion the home of my childhood. The home I resented and loved all in one breath. Getting out I swung the key ring around my finger. I let myself into the house and sat down flipping on the TV. I knew Alice had to be around somewhere but I wasn't going to search her out. I was sure she was not happy and I wasn't going to mess with the angry pixie if I could help it. Flipping through the channels I finally settled on one and just let myself mindlessly watch it finally giving myself a break from my hectic schedule.

"Oh you're here." I looked up to see Alice come into the living room.

'"Yes I am and I heard you skipped school again." I arched my eyebrow as I looked at her.

"So you talked to Bella. She's such a snitch." She flopped onto the couch and crossed her arms.

"No she's looking out for you that's what she's doing." I glared at her "You know I'm sure she has better things then having to come and talk to the principle for you all the time."

"Then she shouldn't do it. I didn't ask her to. oh so perfect Bella." She grumbled.

"Alice what do you have against Bella really?"

"Nothing, I have nothing against her." She huffed and stood up leaving the room.

I shook my head and sighed. Alice had so much that Bella didn't have and didn't even realize it. Alice had a father who was an active part in her life, Alice had a step mother who loved her as if she was her own even though Alice's birth had shattered an already fragile marriage. Heck she had me as a brother and I am pretty awesome if I do say so myself. She had all the opportunities in the world things Bella didn't and might never have. Yet she didn't like her older sister and I was sure she had her reasons but I wasn't sure what they were. If anything she should hate Renee. Renee was the one who sent her here presently Renee was the one who got remarried. Renee was the one who had another kid even though she obviously couldn't care for the two she already had. I shook my head it was just one big mess. I looked up when the door opened and saw my mom walk through the door.

"Hey Mom." I said standing up and switching the TV off. I really wasn't even sure what had been on."

"Oh Emmett." My mother rushed towards me engulfing me in a hug. "It's so good to see you sweetie." She smiled stepping back and looking me over. "It's been so long."

"I know I'm sorry." I said trying not to feel guilty but feeling guilty none the less. She was right it had been a long time. between school and not wanting to be back it had been almost a year since the last time I'd stepped foot in Forks.

"Well I'm glad to have you back, how long are you staying?"

"The weekend then I need to be back I start my program on Thursday."

"I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks." I mumbled a bit embarrassed by the praise.

"Are you hungry I was going to start dinner."

"No I stopped by the diner on my way here I'm going to head to the hospital to see dad. Alice is upstairs Bella dropped her off after she skipped school again."

"oh." I could see her brow crease as she thought about what she should do. I guess I'll let your father handle that when he gets home." I kissed her cheek before I left the house and headed towards the hospital.

When I got to the hospital I headed inside and to the front desk. "Is Dr. Carlisle Cullen in please?"

"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist looked up at me.

"Jessica I'm his son I don't need an appointment."

"Oh Emmett sorry." She blushed "I didn't recognize you there for a moment "One second I'll see if he's available. A minute later she smiled up at him. "He'll be out in a second. "So Emmett how have you been?" she batted her eyelashes at me and I tried not to role my eyes at her.

"Fine."

"Oh come on you've been in New York for years that must have been fun."

"I was in school." I sighed. Hoping my father would hurry up and get out here.

"Yes but you can't study all the time."

I scoffed oh how wrong she was just then I saw my dad come around the corner. "Well Jessica I have to go see you later." I walked past her and towards him.

"Emmett it's good to see you son." Dad clapped me on the back. "Lets go to my office." Leading me towards his office he took a seat behind his desk well I took a seat on his couch. "So have you seen your mother?"

"Yeah I just saw her. I stretched my hand behind my head.

"Good that's good. So missed me so much you couldn't wait for me to get home."

" No you see I stopped at the diner on the way home to get something to eat not knowing when you or mom would be home. I ran into Bella and it seems one Miss Alice Cullen has been skipping school again and Bella had to go and pick her up."

I watched as my dad shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What did she do with her?"

"Dropped her off at the house. She's there now or at least was when I got there but she's not happy and she's ranting about Bella. Mom is of course there now but if Alice finds that out she just might try and shimmy out the window."

"Crap." He mumbled and I tried to not laugh at that.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know she's getting out of hand and I can't keep asking Bella to pick up the slack well I'm working and Esme is so afraid to step on toes. Okay to step on Renee's toes that she won't do anything. I love Alice I want Alice here and so does your mother but this situation is tricky and your sister is mad. I can understand why she's mad she doesn't want to be here. She wants to be with her mother but there is nothing I can do about that."

There were some times I just wanted to slap my father for getting us all in this mess and right now was one of them. I was so frustrated with the way he handled Alice. He treated her with kid gloves that girl could get away with murder around him. She was Daddies little princess. "Well you better figure out something before she flunks out of school."

"I know don't you think I know that Emmett."

"I don't know what you know sometimes." I said in frustration. " I really don't."

"Look I'll handle your sister when I get home and if you see Bella tell her thank you for me."

"Of course." I tried not to glare at him. "Well I'm sure you have work to do and so I'm going to head back to the house. Make sure Alice really didn't shimmy out the window." With that I walked out of the office and tried to ignore Jess throwing her a wave goodbye on my way past the desk. I got into my car but I didn't drive home instead I drove around Forks. And as I drove I thought about what it was like growing up in this tiny town where everyone knew everyone else and that also meant that everyone knew everything about everyone. It sucked being a kid or even an adult in this town when everyone knew your father screwed the chief of police's wife and got her pregnant. It sucked to be that kid when the only girl you ever cared about happened to be the chief of police's little girl. You see sharing a sister didn't really make a relationship possible. Not that I'm even sure Bella knew I liked her like that. I remember I ignored her the whole first month she came back To Forks to live but after that we seemed to fall into a rhyme of talking. Of course because it was hard to talk to anyone else. Because who else would understand the issues besides her my other warrior in this story. The other kid fucked over by our parents. I knew she resented the fact that my mother stayed with my father well her parents split up. I knew that and I felt so bad for her. This broken girl turned into a broken woman. And now we were both back in Forks and I wasn't sure how everything was going to play out. I wasn't staying here and she wanted to fly away so badly.

I don't know how or even why but I found myself outside her door. She was still living with the chief and as I pulled into that driveway and looked at that door. I debated whether or not I should go in. The chief didn't seem to be home. So with a deep breath I stepped out of the car and went to the front door. Knocking I shoved my hands into my pockets as I waited for her to answer.

The door swung open to Bella with her wet haired pulled up as she stared at me. "Emmett What are you doing here?"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure I was just having some wine but I'm sure you don't want that how about a beer?"

"Sounds good, Charlie working late?"

"Yeah?" she went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer tossing it to me. As she settled on the couch with her wine in front of her. "So what are you doing here Emmett?"

"Honestly I have no idea." I said sitting down beside her. "I got into a kind of fight with my father and I was driving around the streets of Forks thinking about life and what it used be like around here after everything went down and somehow I ended up here."

"To our parents maybe one day they will stop messing with our heads." Bella raised her glass and I clanked my beer against it.

"To our parents." I echoed her words.

A/N thank you to everyone that reviewed last chapter and please send in your reviews for this chapter. I believe this will go Bella\ then Emmett maybe with a few others like Alice thrown in.
