A/N: A taste of something....I will finish this. Just let me get my thoughts together.

Bella opened her eyes slowly to a brand new day. She smiled softly to herself before her thoughts gathered in her head.

Then she frowned slightly, her forehead wrinkling.

"Edward." She said gently to herself.

She couldn't believe he had been so cold to her on the phone. The call before that, he had said that he loved her. He wanted her to break up with Emmett to be with him. But she had been very unsure. She still liked Emmett a lot. Plus, the fact that Emmett would demand her reasons...she couldn't lie to him. And Emmett would go after Edward especially cuz they were family.

She was so torn.

She sighed as she hoisted herself out of bed. Her feet softly padded out of her room and downstairs. She glanced at the cork board in the kitchen. On it was tacked a lone note from her father. She narrowed her eyes as she tore it off.

'Bells:

So sorry I didn't get to say Morning. But this case is so close and almost there. I love you baby. Be safe and get to school on time. I'll be home for dinner, I promise. Call me if you need anything

Lv Dad'

Bella crumpled the note in her fist and threw it on the floor. Her dad was chief so of course he'd be busy. Besides, his job was his wife and kids almost. He had to attend to them religiously. Jesus.

"Whatever dad. I'll be out of your hair and mom's just as soon as I graduate. I'm so moving out of this dump." Bella muttered angrily.

The phone began to ring shrilly.

With a huff, Bella picked it up and inserted it between her shoulder and ear.

"'lo?" She mumbled.

"Bella."

She almost dropped the phone in shock.

"Edward? What's wrong?" He never called her, especially not in the morning.

"Nothing. Really, I just wanted to apologise."

"Liar." Bella wasn't afraid to tell the truth.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I was just stressed last night and couldn't deal with anything. It was low of me to let it out on you. Forgive me?" Edward asked.

"Mmm." Bella frowned as she mulled over what to pull out of her closet. She was barely listening to Edward. He always pulled this type of crap when he wanted something.

"Bella. You're not even listening."

"Nope."

Edward sighed. "You know what, I'll call you when you're awake and sane. OK?"

Bella already had hung up the phone.

"I think I'll wear the blue sweater today. Emmett loves the color on me." Bella mused to herself.

Actually, that wasn't entirely true. Emmett only noticed what made her curves visible.

Edward loved the color blue on her.

Even when she tried not to, Edward creeped into her mind like her little stalker.

Bella ignored this fact and continued to get dressed. She wanted to get to school on time and talk to Emmett, maybe even do a little damage control for herself. She really needed to get Edward off the brain. It was killing her inside.

Emmett was banging out a beat on the dashboard when he pulled up to the Swans' residence. Bella always took forever to get ready. He didn't even bother honking anymore. She'd come out when she wanted to.

The good thing was, he had a little bit more time to himself to think, sleep, finish his breakfast...whatever.

But he did love it whenever Bella came in the car early giving them a couple of minutes to spare in the school parking lot.

That just made his day everytime.

Letting out a big gust of air, Emmett cracked his knuckles. He glanced at the clock. 7:45. School started at 8. And it took approximately 20 minutes to get there without traffic and red lights.

He'd have to speed again.

"Arrgh. Bells." Emmett sighed and leaned his head back on the headrest.

At 8:09, he saw a bit of movement from the window. Then Bella clumsily stepped out and locked the door. Emmett unlocked the car as Bella flew down the stairs and rushed over.

Emmett leaned over and pushed the door open. Bella smiled gratefully at him and slipped in.

"Baby..." Bella began softly.

Emmett silenced her with a forceful kiss. Seconds later, he broke the kiss and started the car.

Bella bit her lip as she fastened her seatbelt. Emmett's hands tightened around the steering wheel. The car was increasing in speed as his foot pressed the pedal down.

"Em, please. Slow down. If we're late, then we're late. You don't need a ticket. And we definitely don't need an accident." Bella finally spoke up.

Emmett shook his head, breathing hard through his nose.

"Emmy bear, slow up. Por favor, mi amor." Bella rubbed her boyfriend's arm soothingly. He looked so tense and angry. He didn't even look at her as the speed decreased and the car traveled slower.

She screwed up big time.

Bella leaned back in her seat and rubbed her forehead, closed her eyes. Emmett looked over and gritted his teeth.

"And why are you so tired?" Emmett growled accusingly.

This made Bella jump.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Bella glared at him. What, just because she was late, he was allowed to act like an ass now? She didn't think so.

Emmett shook his head. "Nothing. Nada. Just forget it."

Bella tightened her jaw and lifted her chin. She wasn't going to let this go. This was not how she wanted to start her day but...

"What the hell?! Emmett, if you don't talk to me..."

"I swear, you act like a snowman if I do talk to you! But if I ever just want to keep to myself, you're freaking mad about it. Your mood settings are whacked." Emmett slammed his hand on the wheel harshly.

"I don't know you anymore." Emmett trailed off, making the turn into the school's parking lot.

Bella's mouth popped open in surprise. She hadn't expected him to say anything like that. She hadn't been that cold to him, had she?

She let out a choked sob. "No. No, don't say that. Emmett."

Emmett parked and yanked the key out the ignition. "Well, what do you want me to say?! It's not easy being around you Bella. Seriously, I'm fine that we're late to class and shit. It's cool. But I'm not cool with you acting like some stranger!"

Bella's face crumbled as Emmett fumbled for the door.

"Damn it Emmett, come back here!" Bella screamed now, getting out the car herself.

Emmett tried to ignore her but it wasn't easy. It was getting him all bothered, making her upset. But she should take a second and think about his feelings for once--shouldn't she?!

He growled as he shoved through a group of silly freshmen girls, all goggling at him with stupid smiles pasted on their faces. He wasn't in the mood to tease them. It was too easy and just so...pointless.

Besides, first period was starting in like two seconds from now.
