Chapter 20
AN: A HUGE credit goes to my BFF TheWorldGoesRound for helping me with this chapter. She Rocks!
Emmett's POV
I was at a pub. A local one; full of miscreants and drunks and couplesdrunkenly dancing, but unlike everyone else, I was alone. Alone and miserable. That's why I was at a pub of course. Beer solves almost everything…..
Everything EXCEPT, how I was going to make Bella realize that she should stay away from Edward. (Once again, if that IS his real name.)
"Gimme a shot," I mumble at the bartender, and he bends over my glass to pour a shot of beer into it.
I sip it up and immediately ask for another.
Suddenly, I make a decision. A big one too.
Now I'm in the car, driving over there, with my stereo blasting my Nirvana CD. Bella has always hated them.
First, I'm confident - happy with my choice, satisfied with what I'm about to do.
Then I'm worried, scared it won't go the way I plan, terrified everything will backfire.
Finally, I'm doubtful. Not just of what I'd decided, but on everything.
Was it worth it? Was Bella worth it? Did I want Bella to be worth it? Did I even want Bella?
I hit myself in the head and turned the music's volume up, hoping it would distract me away from my own thoughts. But even with the music blasting, I couldn't run away from them.
Should I be doing this? Should I be ashamed of wanting to do this? Should I want to do this? Am I crazy??
The last question, at least, I had an answer to. YES.
It could be that, but Alcohol might also be influencing me a bit.
But it was too late now, and I had convinced myself too much to turn back.
When I pulled into the driveway, I felt butterflies in my stomach, because for once I am nervous. That is unusual for me.
Walking up their nice porch steps, I hesitantly ring the doorbell. He, of course, answers.
"Hey, Emmett." He says, "I thought it was someone else for a second there. But you're always welcome. How has your day gone-"
But he doesn't get to finish before I raise my fist and punch him in the face.
AN: CLIFFY?! YES! This chapter is the turning point in the story, and now that it has reached the climax, I am going to be updating more frequently, maybe everyday, unless something comes up. So be ready!
And review about who you think Emmett punched; even though I think I made it a bit obvious…BUT TELL ME!
