Don't hate me! I have a good reason for not updating! I don't feel like typing it all out but I'll tell you guys on the next chapter. I hope you like this one. REVIEW!

I do not own Twilight.

All four of his friends stared wide-eyed at Emmett, but his eyes kept mine locked in his gaze.

"Emmett that doesn't make sense. You told us your parents died in a car accident." The copper hair man spoke and then blinked "wait, dude. You just said our." He added while turning to star at me wide eyed. I snorted and rolled my eyes.

"Believe me when I tell you this, no car crash could kill that son of a bitch. Not for lack of trying anyway." I retorted angrily ignoring the last part. Emmett's eyes grew wide at my comment while I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Why are you here?" Emmett whispered so low I almost didn't hear.

"Oh you know, New York City seemed like a fun place to take an afternoon stroll…." I said while crossing my arms. Emmett didn't look satisfied with my answer.

"I live here for your information." Emmett's jaw dropped. "You live here? In New York? Bella, you're supposed to be in Forks or in college or something. He babbled on my rubbing the back of his neck while I rolled my yes.

I shrugged for what seemed like the hundredth time since entering this coffee shop and raised an eyebrow before continuing "College isn't my thing. Thought I'd take my chances in the big boy world." I replied dryly.

Emmett's face dropped ever more so than it already had "I still don't understand. Why are you here? Bella please answer me."

I looked at him incredulously "Did you really expect me to stay with him. Still be living in Forks, living my life as his punching bag!" My voice had escalated buy the end catching the attention of people seated near y. My famous blush appeared but I didn't let that deter me.

"I got the hell out of there as soon as I could and never looked back. Kinda like you did but I never left anyone behind to suffer alone!" I huffed after my speech and shook my head.

Emmett's four friends still behind him looked even ore shocked at my confession.

You know what, I don't have time for this. I have better places to be and better people to be interacting with. SO, if you'll excuse me…" I trailed off while turning around preparing for an Oscar worthy departure when I felt a big and rough hand grasp my upper arm and spun me around to face Emmett staring down at me with tears swimming in his eyes threatening to spill over.

"Wait, please! You can't leave. Not now. Not after I just found you."

I was livid at this point. How dare he order me around? After all my suffering that he could have avoided if he just took me with him.

"No. You don't tell me what to do. I'm going to walk out of this coffee shop and never look back, just like you did back in Forks all those years ago. You will never contact me nor look me up. We will never see each other again. We might have been siblings once but now we are nothing. We are nothing more than strangers who share the same DNA. You go on with your life and I'll go on with mine. Have a good life Emmett."

His hand went slack and I pulled my arm away quickly casting more glance at the people who now knew my brother better than I did. All with different expressions on their faces.

The blonde man's gaze kept looking between me and my brother with a calculating expression. The pixie like women had her hands to her face and looked as if she was crying. The beautiful blonde women looked up at Emmett looking betrayed. The copper haired man kept his eyes only on me.

I didn't bother looking at my brother since I didn't my resolve to waver. I gripped the handle of my purse which was around my shoulder and marched out of the coffee shop. I walked out on my only family. I walked out on any chance of a reunion with my long lost brother. I walked out on what could have been my only chance on a happy ending.

I didn't dare let any tears spill on my very long journey home. I figured I would save it for tonight while laying in bed. But the one thing I didn't notice was the familiar head of brunette curls following me the entire way home just a few steps behind me.
