I'd like to dictate this chapter to babyface123.
"When decorum is repression, the only dignity freemen have is to speak out." - Abbie Hoffman
Chapter Three.
Emmett wouldn't talk to me, so I left the house. It was hard enough being around him but then, having to be around an upset him when you couldn't calm him down, or reason with him. He sat there with those big puppy dog eyes staring at the TV, I couldn't take it. And I didn't know what to say to him because; I don't know how I feel about this. It was that fight or flight responds and I flew.
I was wandering around outside. I wandered around the back yard. I headed down a trail towards a little river that ran threw their yard. I heard a car pull up. I wonder if school was over. In heard footsteps coming down near me, I thought about running, but I promised Emmett I'd say goodbye before I left so I waited.
"Lorelai?" asked a quiet voice. I waited.
"You okay?" Edward asked. He was standing next to me.
"Yeah, how's Emmett?" I asked. He stared out at the sun.
"He's not talking much…" He finally said. I nodded. I knew Edward could read minds so I wondered what he heard. "Are you going to leave him?" He whispered. I shrugged. "He's got a great thing going here I don't want to mess it up…" I said.
"If you mind me meddling, I think you should stay around for another day. He's just in shock." he said. I looked at him. He was staring out at the sun. We were sparkling. We wondered up to the house. I felt like something was happy… or like I was trying to be happy. Edward smiled. I wasn't the only one. We got inside.
"Jasper, stop making us happy… it's annoying." Edward said as we walked in the room. I stared at Jasper.
"Jasper has the power to change emotions." Edward explained. I nodded. Emmett looked at me and with huge eyes. It looked like he'd been shot. He left the house. I stared at where he was standing.
"I'll be right back." I mumbled and headed out the door. I ran after Emmett. We were at the end of the driveway.
"What's going on with you?" I asked. He stared out over my head. I reached up and gently pulled his face down.
"What's going on, Em?" I whispered. He sighed. "Nothing Lorelai, everything's fine." He snapped. I stared at him. "Emmett? What is going on with you?" I asked anger colored my voice.
"God, nothing's happening! Nothing's wrong with me! Why do you always have to push something that isn't there?" He shouted. I heard chattering inside the house.
"Emmett, knock it off! I'm sick of you making me feel like the bad guy for coming out here to see an old friend. Hell! I didn't know you were alive… you didn't even write me a letter saying you were alive!" I shouted the anger rising to my face.
"What? You really wanted me to write you? Saying what? I'm alive but you can't see me? You would've come to find me Lorelai! You know it!" he shouted. I shook my head. "Fine Emmett… that's just fine." I said darkly. I started walking away.
"You're just going to walk away?" he asked.
I shrugged, "I guess so." I said.
"Well that's what you do best." He muttered. I stopped walked. I turned around.
"What do you want from me Emmett? I'm sick of jumping through hoops and waiting. And I don't want to put up with this… I'm old and I'm tired!" I shouted. "So I guess I'm walking away… but at least you know where I'll be." I said harshly.
"Lorelai, I couldn't have told you! I was unstable you couldn't have been near me! God I was trying to protect you!" he shouted. He was weak and desperate. Emmett was always tall. And he was, he was six foot three. But today he looked small.
"Emmett, I'm a big girl you can't protect everyone…" I shouted. I sighed, "Emmett… I think it's time I leave. I'll write you a letter when I get home..." I said.
"That's it?" He asked. He looked surprised. "Don't be so surprised Emmett, you couldn't expect me to stay forever… I tried but you just weren't in it…" I said. He wasn't sad anymore he was just angry. I walked over to him.
"Don't wait too long." I whispered as I gave him a hug. "For what?" He whispered. "To tell Rosalie that you love her." I whispered.
"What? I don't love her like that." He said. I shrugged. "Bye Emmett." I whispered. I went back into the house to get my bag.
"It was nice meeting you all but I should get back. Tell Carlisle I had to leave… Bye." I said quickly and hurried from the house. I ran as fast as I could. I was covered by nightfall so I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I ran to somewhere else.
