Broken

Chapter 15:

Emmett

Bella

After my phone call with Edward my mind was blank. All I could think about was Edward. He was actually getting therapy. I've considered therapy myself but never actually did something about it. Sure I have these thoughts I shouldn't but I'm that bad….I think. I sighed as I grabbed the plug in phone on the table next to me, and dialed the number. The number of the person I could always talk to, besides Jasper.

"Yo?" a deep voice answered, and I smiled big as the tears of happiness formed.

"Hey Emmy-bear…its Bella." I whispered.

"I'm sorry, I don't know a Bella." He replied, and my eyebrows furrowed.

"What? Of course you do, I'm your little sister!" I shouted, and he laughed.

"Oh really? Because I thought my sister would care enough to call me on the holidays, or to even check up on me." Emmett said rudely, and I sighed.

"Emmett, I'm so sorry. It's just…a lot has happened lately that I guess it's just slipped my mind." I explained, and Emmett sighed.

"I understand belly. Times are hard, anything you want to talk about?" he asked sweetly, and I bit my lip.

"Want to talk about? No, should talk about, yes." I sighed, and Emmett chuckled.

"Well, talk belly. Get me caught up in all the hot gossip." Emmett demanded, and I half smiled.

"Well, where do I start? Um…I got laid off." I whispered, and Emmett gasped softly.

"Oh god, Bella…I'm so sorry. I know how much you loved your job."

"Thanks Emmett, it means a lot but it happens. Besides I can get a different job…it's the least of my problems. Trust me." I mumbled.

"What are you talking about Bella?" he whispered, and the tears formed in my eyes as my lip quivered.

"I hurt Em. I hurt so badly. I'm broken." I whispered as few tears fell. I quickly wiped them way, and sniffled my nose.

"Bella, what happened to you? Did somebody…do somebody….rape you?" he gritted out slowly like it hurt him to ask. My eyes widened, and I gasped.

"What? No of course not…nothing like that." I whispered, and looked at my shoes.

"Bella…tell me what happened. Why are you hurting?" he asked concerned. I took a deep breath. It was now or never.

"Edward cheated on me." I said quickly, and Emmett didn't speak.

"What?" he muttered and I sighed.

"Emmett, Edward…cheated on me." I said slowly, biting my lip. I heard loud noises on the other end, noises like Emmett was punching something.

"What? How…how could he? When I last saw you too he followed you around like a lost puppy. He was so whipped Bella, why would he cheat on you?" Emmett shouted, and I shrugged.

"I guess he tired of the plain Jane." I whispered, and Emmett growled.

"No Bella, don't speak like that! You're not a plain Jane. You're anything but plain Bella." He growled, and I let a tear fall.

"Emmett, I'm sorry but complimenting me isn't going to make me feel better." I whispered.

"Bella, don't you know you're beautiful? You should have someone to tell you that every day. That was Edward's job, but I see he failed to make you feel special." He gritted, and I sobbed quietly.

"I know Emmett." I whispered, and he sighed.

"Youre not staying in the same house as him are you?" he asked harshly.

"No Emmett of course not. I'm staying at Rose's house."

"Who's rose?" he asked, and I laughed.

"She just my best friend Emmett! I've brought her up many times." I complained.

"Why haven't I met her?" he asked.

"Well, when you came down to college to visit Rose had a fashion competition."

"Oh…is she Jasper's twin?" he asked, and I nodded to myself.

"Yes Emmett, she's Jasper's twin." I said laughing.

"Oh, how's is that guy? I haven't talked to him in a while. When I met him he seemed chill." Emmett stated, and I chuckled as I rolled my eyes.

"Jasper is a chill dude, and he's fine…well, not his face." I whispered.

"Bella, I'm not gay but I can tell you Jasper's not that ugly." Emmett said, and my jaw dropped.

"What? No, I wasn't calling him ugly! What I meant was…it's damaged." I got out slowly.

"Damaged how?" Emmett asked.

"Edward thought I was sleeping with him, and sort of….beat him up." I whispered, and Emmett gasped.

"What the hell? Jasper's a good guy; he would never sleep with you! Not saying your ugly or anything, but Jaspers not into you like that! I already asked, and Edward knows that…he was there when I did it." He shouted, and my eyebrows furrowed.

"You asked Jasper if he had feelings for me?" I whispered, and Emmett sighed.

"Yeah…yeah I did." He mumbled.

"Why?"

"Because Bella he was always around you, grabbing your arm and hugging you a lot. I didn't know what his intentions were. I was just being protective of you bells." He whispered.

"Well I don't need protecting!" I shouted.

"Yes, Bella…you do." He gritted out.

"Well I hate to break it to you Emmett, but you're not always going to be able to protect me." I shouted.

"Yes I am." He mumbled stubbornly.

"If you can protect me whenever I need protecting, then where were you three weeks ago? Where were you when Edward cheated on me, and broke my heart? Huh?" I shouted as the tears ran down my face furiously.

"Your right, I wasn't there. I can't protect you from everything, not in Forks." He mumbled.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked.

"It means that…maybe I need to move closer. There's an Em's Mechanics fifteen minutes away from Seattle. I was thinking of relocating." He told me, and my eyes widened.

"What? You can't Emmett! What about your life, or Charlie?" I shouted.

"Charlie agreed to be put in a home. He's also seventy years old Bella." He stressed, and I sighed.

"I know Emmett." I whispered.

"I even found a small apartment by a chain of bakery's, and stores. It's perfect for me Bells." He said with a light voice. I sighed.

"Alright…if you really want to then…go ahead." I mumbled.

"I got to go Bella, I'll….I'll talk to you later." He whispered, and I took a deep breath.

"Alright, I'll call you later. I love you Em." I whispered with a small smile.

"I love you too bells." He whispered before hanging up. I set the phone down before falling back on the bed. I missed Emmett. A lot.

Edward

I sighed as I sat in one of those uncomfortable chairs you see in hospitals. I was at Seattle Co. Therapy, waiting for the lady at the front desk get my paper work ready. I sighed as I fell back in the chair, and took a deep breath. I silently began playing with the end of my plain white T-shirt. I bit my lip as I was approached by an elderly woman in a bright purple blouse, and a long black skirt, and skimpy heels. She was wearing way to much make up, and her hair looked like a lemon.

"Are you Edward Cullen?" she asked in a raspy voice. I slowly nodded and she smiled.

"Alright dear, here's the papers you need to fill out." She said sweetly, handing them to me. I looked at them as my eyebrows furrowed.

"What is all this?" I asked, and she chuckled.

"Just the basic information, emergency contacts, credit card information, stuff like that." She said sweetly, handing me a blue pen before walking away. I sighed as I pulled out my wallet, and began filling out all the paper work.

After I filled out seven sheets of paper work I was finally finish. I sighed in accomplishment as I stood from the chair. I stretched my arms as I walked up to the desk, and set the papers down.

"I finished." I told the lady, and she smiled big at me. I shuddered.

"Oh, alright dear. We'll give you a call with all your appointments within the next few days." She said cheerfully, and I smiled sweetly at her before walking away. I was getting help, not for me….for my family.

I quickly drove home to get ready for my dinner with Bella tonight. I had already called this morning and made reservations at le Bella Italia. Of course I had to pull a few strings to calling so suddenly, but Bella was worth it.

I quickly hoped in the shower, and scrubbed myself before stepping out. I decided on not too dressy. I stuck with a simple light blue dress shirt, and black slacks. I rolled the sleeves up to my elbows, and fixed my hair to where it was messy, yet sexy. Bella loved it like that.

After that I quickly shaved my stubble. After I was cleanly shaved I slipped on a pair of black converse. I smiled at my reflection, but frowned when I saw the faint black eye Jasper gave me. I sighed, and I sat on my bed. I deserved it.

I stood up, and grabbed the phone deciding to ring Bella.

"Hello?" she answered and I smiled.

"I can't wait for dinner tonight." I whispered, and she giggled.

"Me too, I'm almost ready so pick me up in about an hour." She told me, and I smirked.

"Alright."

"Where are we going?" she asked, and I laughed.

"That's a surprise." I told her, and she groaned.

"I hate surprises!" she mumbled.

"You won't hate this one. See you in an hour Bella." I whispered, and she laughed.

"Alright, see you in a little bit." She whispered before hanging up. I smiled as I set the phone on my bed.

Tonight was going to be great.

Bella

I let out a shaky breath as I started to get ready for my date with Edward. I knew he liked blue on me so I went with a blue sleeveless dress with matching heels. My makeup was simple with black mascara, and eye liner. I then used the same lip gloss Rose had put on me before the club to make my lips look "kissable."

I put my hair in loose curls. I smiled at myself when I heard a little voice.

"Mommy? Where you going?" Anthony asked, and I cursed. I forgot I needed a babysitter.

"I um…I'm going out to dinner with Daddy." I mumbled quickly before calling Jasper.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Jasper, could you do me a huge huge favor?" I asked begging.

"Depends what it is."

"Can you watch Anthony tonight?" I begged, and he sighed.

"Why?"

"I'm going to dinner with Edward." I mumbled, and he gasped.

"What? Why? Did you forget what he did to my face?" he shouted, and I bit my lip.

"I know, and it's just to talk. Please Jazzy." I begged, and he sighed.

"Fine, but if you get hurt don't say I didn't warn you." He gritted.

"Alright, thank you." I whispered.

"Yeah, yeah. Be there in ten." He told me before hanging up. I let out a breath in relief when I heard a knock at the door. That was fast.

I smiled small before opening up.

"You got here Fast." I said before looking who was at the door, and it was not Jasper. I looked into two dark brown eyes, and a set of dimples. Why was he here?

"Emmett?" I whispered before he smiled big.

Edward was coming over soon. So was Jasper. This was not good; we have two guys wanting to kick his ass.

Shit was going to hit the fan.

TEAM EMMETT! He's finally here! Omg, how happy are you? I'm happy, I know that. ; P Review please.
