Don't worry, guys. I'm definitely not planning on abandoning this story or my other story any time soon. I've just been majorly busy with school starting soon. Plus, I'm experiencing some writer's block especially with my other story, Everything Changes. I have plans for them both, but I'm having trouble making them into sentences. I'll try to be quicker with updating next time.

When I awoke the door bell was ringing and the clock read five o'clock. Groaning, I sat up scratching my head before rubbing my still heavy eyes.

"Who the hell…?" I grumbled. Why did someone have to show up in the middle of my nap? I stood up and balanced myself on my wobbly legs. Sighing, I headed out of my room. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and hoped it was nobody important. My hair looked like a messed up brown stack of hay. My eyes were still heavy and sleep-deprived looking. I was wearing sweats and an ill-fitting t-shirt.

The doorbell rang again impatiently. "I'm coming!" I yelled annoyed. Once I safely made it to the bottom of the stairs, I threw the door open only to find my favorite Greek god grinning at me. I leaned against the door for support and sleepily smiled at him. Then it hit me, the definition of gorgeous was standing in front of me and I looked like this! Damn! He grinned nonetheless and looked at me up and down.

"Did I wake you?" He chuckled.

I yawned involuntarily. "It's fine. I have to make dinner anything."

"Well, I'm still sorry for waking you."

"What are you doing here, Emmett?" I asked curiously. I hadn't expected to see him until school tomorrow, yet there he was standing on my porch.

"I wanted to check on you." He grinned wildly, and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Well, as I told you earlier, I am fine."

"I have trouble believing that."

"Why is that?"

"Because you don't seem fine."

I shrugged. "Well, I am. Like I said, I was tired." We were silently staring at each other for a few moments before I realized we were still standing in the doorway. "You want to come in?"

He smiled and nodded. I moved to the side to let him pass. He walked into the living room as I shut the door and ran my fingers through my hair in some hopeless attempt to untangle it. Giving up to futile effort, I led him to the kitchen.

"I have to cook dinner." I told him.

"I don't mind." He sat down at the table as I walked to the fridge to find something to cook.

"How was the rest of the school day?"

"Hopelessly boring."

I shook my head at him. "You are hopelessly ADD."

"Nah, I just much rather hang out with you."

"I didn't do anything. I came home and fell asleep. Not interesting." I rolled my eyes.

"Are you coming to school tomorrow?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"You've skipped the last two days of school. I'm beginning to doubt you ever stay an entire day."

"You skipped Friday, too, mister. Don't pin this all on me."

His booming laughter filled the house. I love that sound so much. "It was your idea."

I smiled innocently at him batting my eyelashes. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He laughed again.

We continued this for another hour and a half. Our back and forth banter, his loud booming laughter, my much softer laughter, and even a good dazzling every now and then. He left about ten minutes before Charlie was due home. When Charlie did get home, we ate in peace before I headed back to my room. After finishing the last bit of homework I had due the following day, I showered and headed to bed.

I began getting dress fifteen minutes late since I had decided to spend all night at Bella's and put off hunting. Alice had been shouting at me ever since I got home about how I should have gone hunting earlier and how she finds it cute that I watch Bella sleep every night but I need to hunt and get home on time. She complained the entire time until we got into the Volvo. Regardless of my tardiness that morning, we still got to school fifteen minutes early. I scanned the parking lot for my favorite human that I was falling more and more in love with every day. I didn't see her car, so I waited by Edward's for her to show up. My family hung around for a few minutes before walking off in different directions to do different things. I couldn't help but smile when I saw her car turning into the parking lot. She parked her car and got out with that amazing smile on her face. I was by her side in less than a minute with my arms around her petite frame.

"Good morning, Bella." I mumbled as her arms wrapped around me.

"Good morning." I felt her pull away a little and sighed heavily. I didn't want to let her go yet. I liked holding her… a lot.

"You promise to stay all day?"

She laughed. "Yes. You make me sound like a delinquent or something."

"Well, you did skip a day and a half of school."

Her musical laughter filled my ears again as she swatted my arm. "Shut up!"

We headed in the direction of her first class talking about different things. She turned to me when we stopped in front of her first class.

"See you later, Emmett."

I smiled at her desperately wanting to kiss her luscious pink lips. "Yeah, see you later."

Her lips curved up into a small smile as she turned and walked to class. I found myself staring at her perfect ass as she walked away from me. Oh how much I love her and all her perfection.

I met her outside her forth class of the day. She met me outside and beamed a smile at me, which I found unable to not return. We dropped our stuff at the empty table since my family hadn't beaten us there today. I saw the four of them walk in just as Bella and I walked towards the table. Alice and Edward threw me a panicked, desperate look. I lifted my eyebrow at them.

"Something wrong?" I thought. Edward, now without looking at me since he was in line and I was sitting with Bella at the table, nodded. "Care to explain?" I thought once they finally got to the table.

Then he said the one word I hoped he wouldn't. His voice was too fast and too low for humans to hear. But I and my siblings heard him loud and clear. "Bella."

I looked at him feeling the terror in me build up. My eyes met his for only a second before I looked at Bella. She was staring down at her food mixing some terrible-looking liquid substance into her salad. Her eyes flicked up to meet mine. I forced a soft smile which she returned before looking down at her food.

"What's wrong?"

"We'll talk later." Edward murmured and looked at Bella with a concerned look in his eye. This was not good! Not good at all.
