Making Up For Dead Time

I couldn't help smirk to myself, watching Emmett's gaze fall on me every second he could while driving. It happened to often I think he watched me more than the road. Despite this, we made it to the destination in one piece. And what a wonderful destination it was. Alice had obviously planned the night with her amazing weather telling. The clouds had just disapeared when night fell, and the moon shawn brightly on the lake. It was like glass, there was no wind. A tiny building was beside the lake just on the outskirts of the sand. It had a huge bar eminating from it and it's roof extended over a dancefloor. Lights were streamed everywhere, and tables of couples and groups were everywhere.

"Why did she send us here?" I muttered to Emmett.

"I do not know." I linked arms with him and we headed towards the bar. We felt our slight humanity tell us to sit down at one of the tables, he even held out the chair for me. We sat there for a while, almost in silence. Then a barmaid came over to our table. She looked over Emmett with pure lust. She then looked at me, all her hopes failing.

"What can I get you?" she said in a bored tone, now knowing her chances were over. Emmett and I exchanged looks and chuckled to ourselves. A nice lion please.

"We're fine thankyou." Was all Emmett said. She nodded and went back to her other tables. I stared at the dancefloor uneasily. I looked at Emmett who seemed to roll his eyes.

"This modern music, it just isn't as..."

"Classic?" I said jokingly. He smiled crookedly.

"Look, lets just take a walk along the beach, I don't want to stay here." I nodded in agreement and we began heading down the beach. It was silent for a while as the music from the outdoor club boomed in the background. I slipped off my shoes and let them dangle from my fingers. I loved the feel of the sand.

"So, I hope you feel comfortable with staying with my family." Emmett said after a while.

"Oh they're all lovely. It's nice to talk to Bella too, considering I've been so attached to my family all these years. I hope I'm not putting you guys out by staying so long."

"Oh no! Ofcourse not! My family loves you. Especially Alice and Esme. And uhm, look, I was going to ask you this and I think that's why Alice set this whole thing up." we had stopped now and he faced me directly.

"Would you want to move in? Completely? It's the least we could do after what...Rosalie did." I felt my eyebrows pull into a frown. My mouth parted a little in insult. I felt anger start to slowly flow, my throat starting to burn with hunger.

"For what she did? Are you referring to how she took my fiancee-the one I was completely inlove with-caused me heartache that made me become this in the first place? The reason I had to watch my daughter grow up without a mother and my husband die?? The least you could do for ALL THAT!?" Emmett stared down at me with utter shock. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

My nostrils flaired for one moment, and then I was running. I ran as fast as I could, away from him. I eventually was in a forest, and the branches flew past me, snagging my dress every now and then. I felt the scent of a deer and without thinking, lunged at it. It fell in silence and almost lay motionless as I sank my teeth into it's neck. I drank fast and swift. Once I was done I ran farther. How could he think that moving in with him could make up for all of this?

I was then hit by something, causing a loud crash of thunder. I tumbled with whatever it was and eventually wound up pinned beneath it. It was Emmett.

"Are you crazy!? People almost saw you!?" he shouted, holding down my arms. I tried moving, but he was too strong, and I felt my anger slowly falling.

"I don't care."

"Eliza! Please! I didn't mean to offend you! I know it can't make up for what happened between us! It came out wrong I'm sorry! What I wanted to say was...I-I miss you. And I want you around okay? I don't want you to feel like this is a temoporary thing. I want to make up for all the time we lost. I want to pick up where we left off." There was a cold silence as I looked away from him, trying not to smile.

"We left off with you trying to marry me." Another silence.

"Well, lets go back a few steps." I looked up at him then.

"Few steps?" He smiled down at me and then bent down to my face. I felt my breathing become shallow, as I took in his scent. The fact that his hair was a bit more tussled, how there were rips in his nice tux, revealing his muscles. I closed my eyes slowly, awaiting what I had wished upon for years. His lips lightly kissed beside my mouth, leaving my skin tingling. He kissed the other side, and then my nose. He kissed both my cheeks, and then his lips were extremely close to mine.

"THat's the first step." He whispered. I felt the pressure lift off of me, and when I opened my eyes, he was standing up beside me, his hand out to help me up. I felt a very low growl in my throat as I stood up. He laughed the whole time we headed back towards his car.

****

"Now now, be easy." I felt a little panic bubble up as I held my hands up in a stop position. Alice snarled at me low and evil.

"I didn't mean to ruin the dress okay!?"

"You guys didn't even dance!" She stomped her foot like a little girl and folded her arms. Jasper patted her shoulder lightly.

"If it's any consultation, she still looks amazing in it." Emmett said beside me. I turned to him and smiled. When I looked back at Alice, her expression completely changed. She was beaming now.

"So you're staying with us!?" She screached.

"Yes I am." Next thing I knew, I was being pulled up the stairs to a room I had never seen before. It was completely empty.

"This will be your room. Welcome to the family!" She hugged me tightly and then skipped across the room. Emmett and Jasper shrugged into the room, not saying much.

"I have to get my things from Jeremy."

"Oh! He sent them over! I asked him too!" Alice said opening the closet to reveal all my things hung up. I felt my emotions sink a little, realizing how hard this would be on Jeremy. I made a mental note that I would see him again. We did have forever to meet up again.

There were a bunch of magazines and brochures on the floor and I noticed they were room designs. I picked one up and flipped through it distractedly.

"Well, I'm hungry. You coming?" Jasper said aloud after a while. Alice glided over to him, stopping beside me to whisper.

"Emmett's room is right across the hall." She winked and kept walking.

"Wa-ALICE!" But it was too late, they were gone. I turned to Emmett, and smiled embarassed.

"I guess uhm, I'm gunna change." Emmett nodded and looked down at his shoes. I waited for him, but he didn't move.

"You..gunna watch or something?"

"OH! Right!" He laughed and quickly darted out of the room. I rolled my eyes and smiled as I closed the door to my new room.
