Bella's POV
Edward had been off with me all day, every time I had tried to speak with him, he avoided the conversation by coming up with a rather pathetic excuse like needing to wash his cars or hunt even though his eyes were deep gold in colour. I sighed hopelessly, falling back onto my bed. We had only got the assignment yesterday so we had to keep it up until Friday and I honestly didn't think I could handle that amount of time with Emmett. I swear he must be the real mind reader because no sooner had the thought left my head, I heard Charlie call from downstairs in a confused voice that Emmett was at the door, I sat up slowly and groaned.
Just great.
Emmett's POV
Which one to go on first I contemplated as I spun slowly around, my eyes scanning and sizing up the competition., trying to figure which one was the best; the fastest, the highest and most importantly the one that would scare Bella the most. I decided on the rollercoaster on the far side of the amusement park, I could just see the top from here. I pulled Bella by the arm towards the ride until I decided that she was too slow. I threw her casually over my shoulder and began jogging, trying to keep to a human pace and speed to keep up appearances.
I knew the line would be long so I quickly ran to the front of the line at inhuman speed so no one would see and as soon as the cart stopped, I tossed Bella in and climbed in after her; leaning over to strap her in, I felt Bella breathe shakily next to me, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the fastenings across her chest. The ride jerked forward as it started and as we rounded a corner and started travelling upwards on the track, Bella shivered and I suddenly felt mean for bringing her on here. I briefly wondered if I could jump off with her in my arms but I realised that the people behind us would probably notice.
The colour faded from her face as she realised we were almost at the top. I wrapped my arm securely around her and whispered near her ear "sorry for this, just hold on to me. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise" she nodded and the corners of her mouth lifted meekly at me for a second before shrinking into my arms and holding my T-shirt tightly in her fist. I kissed the top of her head and as we began out descent and Bella and the rest of the people on the ride screamed, I held Bella tighter in my arms. Nothing hurts my sister, not even a ride.
"Come on Bella, I've got to win you a teddy or this isn't a good date" I whined and pulled her over to the stand by her hand, she followed obediently, still a little fazed from the ride. The man smiled at me as I handed over the money, giving me three balls; they were weighted on one side and I knew most people failed because of this. When I threw the first ball and the pins all flew in different directions, his jaw dropped and I beamed at Bella "so babe, what toy do you want?" she glanced up and I saw her eyes hover over a toy lion with a fluffy mane. I pointed at it and the man passed it over, Bella hugged him to her chest and I saw a tear roll down her cheek. I reached over to take her hand.
"Aww George, aren't they adorable together!" an older lady said in a hushed tone to her husband and Bella burst out laughing. A little insulted, I wrapped my arms around her waist and teased "yeah, I'm a lucky guy" Bella rolled her eyes at me but played along "come on honey, let's go home."
"Eager aren't we?" I winked at her, causing her to hit my chest and stalk off to the exit, I followed chuckling as I noticed her cradling her hand in irritation.
Edward met us at the door when we arrived home, pulling her into his arms "Did you have fun, love?" she nodded and I smirked "yes you never told me Bella was such a screamer!" I bounded inside as I heard Edward threaten me under his breath before finding distraction in Bella's lips.
