I was angled towards Emmett. I saw Rose take Emmett's arm. He was just standing there waiting for Jasper to say something. Jasper had Alice holding him close. So I put my hands over my ears, I didn't want to hear it again. I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up to see that Edward put his arms thoughthe cell bars and was holding me close. I put my head on his chest. (Luckily the bars were big enough so my head could fit through them.)

I saw Jasper open his mouth to begin talking and I clasped my hands harder to my ears. I felt something soft on my head. Then heard someone humming.. it was Edward. He was humming to block out Jasper. He put his face in m hair so I was the only one who could hear him. I barried my face in his chest. I didn't really want to do this. But at the same time I was secretly kind of glad. Edwrard's arms were tight around me. Like I was the prey in a snake's vice. I was completely fine here, standing like this. That's when I realized that I happened to like Edward Cullen.. I happend to like him alot. Maybe more than I should.. me... liking the prisoner she's supposed to be waching.... Oh God. Just wonderful...

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Emmett yell.

"What?! Are you freaking kidding me!?"

My head snapped up. Causing Edward's head to come up too. I watched as Emmett's face formed different emotions. From angry, to shock, to sad, then furious. He turned his back to us.

"Emmett." Rosalie said.

"Don't you 'Emmett' me!" Emmett yelled.

Rosalie looked hurt but tried again "Emmett" she said. He didn't answer. His hands were balled up into fists. I took a step towards him. Edward let go of me slowly as he shot a worried/confused glance.

"Emmett." I said in a quite voice. He relaxed his shoulders a little bit. I tried again. "Emmett. Please?" I stuck my arm through the bars and tried to reach for him. I felt everyone's eyes on me. Emmett unclenched his fists. He turned around slowly to look at me. I knew he'd given in. I know that I'm the weak link in his armor. Emmett just stood there for awhile with a pained expression on his face. After I was ready I started again.

"I'm hurt too, you know? We all are." I said and tried to reach for him again. He moved closer to me. He took my hand and put it on his chest on top of his heart. "I know." he repeated over and over again. A tear fell down my face and out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward wince again.

"He left a note." I told him quietly.

The note now felt like it weighed ten pounds in my pocket.

"huh?" He asked confused.

I took my hand back and reached into my pocket to get it. I decided to pull out my keys too.

"Bell-" Jasper started.

"I know." I said back, cutting him off. "but I'm going to anyway."

I put my key into the slot on the gate to the cell. I opened it slowly. I looked at Edward giving him a look, as if saying 'Don't try anything funny.' and walked in.

I closed the gate so it was almost shut, and walked towards Emmett. I was looking at the ground taking the note from my pocket when I saw... it.

"AHHHHH!!" I screamed like a little girl and jumped on Emmett.

"What? What is it?" Jasper asked as he moved over to the gate.

Edward was looking around trying to spot what scared me. As was Emmett. He moved me onto his back so he was giving me a piggyback ride. I pointed to it on the floor.

".." I said to Emmett, moving his head to where I was pointing to.

"A spider, Bella? Really?" Edward teased.

I just glared back. Then everyone fell into little fits of laughter. That is, everyone but me. Edward walked over to the spider. "Well. Let me just take care of it then." he said lifting his foot.

"NO!" I yelled at him. Putting my hands in the hault position.

"I never said to kill it!" I said sternly.

"Fine. Miss Swan. Then what would you like me to do with it?" He teased again.

Jerk, I thought to myself.

"Just leave it for now. I'll get Jasper to pick it up when we leave." I said giving my best puppy dog face.

"Uh-oh, Jasper. She brought out the puppy dog face." Rosalie teased.

"Fine." He sighed. I just beamed at him.

"Way to ruin the mood, Bella." Alice chimed in.

"Well. Sorry I happen to be terrified of spiders." I shuddered as Emmett let me down off of his back.

Edward bent over and put his hand down to the ground and I watched as the spider went crawling onto his hand.

"Why, Bella?" He asked and took a step closer to me.

". Don't you dare." I told him fiercly., but he kept walking closer to me.

"But Bella, you made him sad, you said you didn't like him" Edward said, attempting to make me feel guilty, but that doesn't work with me and spiders buddy. But he just kept on coming closer and closer with it. Pshh, I ran. That thing was not coming near me. I may have screamed when I ran, but you know, details aren't important. I ran right behind Emmett. He would protect me.... right?

"Alright, Alright. You made her scream. Well done." Emmett said while giving Edward a high five. I just shook my head and glared at them. Everyone else just started laughing again. I made my sad puppy dog face and dropped my head.

"Ooh no, Edward! She pulled the puppy dog face on you too!" Rosalie said through her laughter.

Edward look over at me. His expression still teasing yet sorry.

"I'm sorry, Bella. But I just couldn't resist." He said teasingly again. I just glared.

"You know, Bella. You should keep doing that puppy face. It could get you places." Rosalie said. I just smiled. I put my hand in my pocket and puled out the note, and handed it to Emmett. Then all of a sudden everything got really quiet and serious once again.
