Somebody Save Me
Chapter 3
RPOV
As soon as that piece of peach touched my mouth, I felt my stomach twist with anxiety. I didn't know if that was good, though. I just knew I couldn't go through the whole thing. I was trying to lose five pounds, not gain them.
As I chewed, I could feel Emmett's eyes on me. What is the problem with this guy? I thought. Why does he want me to make me eat? I made myself swallow. My stomach made a funny sound as the food reached it.
I looked up to meet Emmett's eyes, begging him with my eyes to let me stop.
He smiled encouragingly, "Now, it wasn't so bad, was it?" Was he kidding? "You have to eat it the rest of it," he continued.
I groaned and grabbed another piece of fruit from the plate. I held it in front of my face, dreading the moment when it would have to reach my mouth.
No!
I dropped the fork in the plate and pushed it forward. A few heads turned to look at me, but I ignored them.
"I won't eat this!" I exclaimed. "I. AM. NOT. HUNGRY."
Emmett sighed and shook his head slowly. I could see disappointment in his eyes.
"Okay," he said, raising his hands as surrender. "Okay, I won't make you eat it if you don't want to."
"Thanks," was all I could say.
I looked at my hands, wondering what was going to happen next. I could feel Emmett's eyes burning into me, like he was trying to read my mind or something.
For some reason, I was terrified to look up and meet his gaze. It was weird but I didn't like to see him disappointed.
"EMMETT!!" I gave a little jump, startled and laughed at myself.
I looked at Emmett. His face was a mix between scared and guilty, but his eyes were laughing.
He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a guy with bronze hair. "What are you doing? You have class!"
"Now?" The bronze-haired guy was glaring at him. "No, okay, sorry. I'll be right there."
"I'm giving you three seconds," bronze-haired guy replied severely.
"Fine, I'll just say good-bye… in private," he added when he saw bronze-haired guy wouldn't leave.
He sighed dramatically and left Emmett and me alone.
"I –," we said at the same time.
I half smiled and he chuckled. "You go first."
"I'm sorry," I whispered to my hands.
Emmett chuckled again. "Nah, it's not your fault. It's just Edward, he's always like that." He winked at me. "Aaaaaand, I do have to go to class." He smiled and I couldn't help but return the smile.
"Hey, that's a nice smile you have there!" Emmett exclaimed as he stood up. I lowered my head again and felt my cheeks getting hot.
There was an awkward silence and I struggled to find something to say. Emmett cleared his throat and I looked at him.
"Well, um… I – I have to go now," he said as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"'kay," I whispered.
I was surprised to discover it made me feel sad that he was leaving.
"Will you come back?" he asked.
A spark of hope surged within me.
"Yes," I said looking at him in the eye, more determined that I had felt for a while now.
A grin illuminated his face and made his eyes shine. "Good."
I stood up and hesitantly extended my hand for him to shake. His smile grew wider as his extended his arm.
When our hands touched, I felt a spark of something run through my body, starting where our hand touched. Wherever this spark went, it made my blood run faster. I held on as hard as I could to his hand, never wanting to let go.
