Emmett POV
Why couldn't I hear them! Speak louder! God-damn-it! Was he flirting with her? I swear, I'll kill him if he says anything to her that she doesn't like! I'll KILL him!
"What do you think of me, Bella? Do you like me?" I looked up as I heard Edwards voice as clear as glass.
"What do you mean, Edward? Of course I like you, you're like a brother to me. Why?" Bella was looking at him; curious.
"Bella, I care about you. A lot. I hurt Alice a lot. Jasper got really mad at me because I promised him that I could try not to hurt her." He was holding her hand now. I glared; restraining a snarl.
"Edward, I'm still confused. Clearer explanation?"
"I had a feeling that you wouldn't understand. Haven't you noticed that I'm in all of your classes? Haven't you noticed me staring at you and not paying attention to what is going on around me?" I was tense now, waiting to hear what he was going to say before I snapped and attacked him.
"Yes, I've noticed. I've never understood why but I'm not completely oblivious." She was looking at him; deep concentration visible in her eyes.
"All right, this may be harder than I thought." He was pinching the bridge of his nose. "I'm just going to say it quickly, okay?"
"Edward, you are scaring me. What are you talking about?"
"Bella, I'm unconditionally and irrevocably in love with you." He was looking at his hands in silence. "I'm sorry." He murmured.
"Why are you saying sorry, Edward? It's not as though this is something that you had power over it, now is it?" Bella looked concerned now. Her hands sandwiching his.
"I was apologising to Emmett." He replied coolly. I was shocked by his answer. I didn't expect it. Not after my thoughts of killing him.
"But he is nowhere near us. How could he possibly hear you?" Edward pointed in my direction. I was caught and she looked furious. Edward was still not looking away from his hands and hers.
"EMMETT McCARTY CULLEN!!! Were you SPYING on us?!" I rose slowly; fearing what was next to come. I'd never see her angry before. "Emmett, I can't believe that you'd do this to me! Don't you trust your own brother? Don't you trust me?"
"No, Bella, of course I trust you. I just don't trust him. Please believe me."
"I don't, Emmett. I'm not sure if I can trust you any more. If you loved me you wouldn't have to spy on me. I'm just not sure what to do right now. Emmett, it's over. I'm sorry. I just don't know if I can trust you. I mean every time Rosalie walks into the room your eyes seem magnetised to her. It's like I don't even exist when she is around. Like now, for example." Rosalie was out back helping Jacob fix his little VW rabbit. Bella was right. My eyes had been glued to Rosalie ever since she had started talking. "Emmett, what did I just say?"
"Something about Rosalie?" I guessed.
"You are Unbelievable! I break up with you and all you can think about is HER! You are such an ass, Emmett!" She tore the ring off her finger; dislocating it in the process. She took my hand, opened it and placed the ring on my palm. "Goodbye, Emmett." She turned to Edward. "Can you take me to Carlisle please, Edward? I'd be really grateful."
Edward stared at her in awe; knowing how easily she got hurt and how easily she cried. I'm sure that he was in shock that she wasn't cringing in pain. Either that or worried about how angry she was.
"Edward, please, can we go?" She pleaded with him throwing me an awkward but furious glance as she began to walk away.
"Sure thing, Bella." Edward followed her quickly.
I really was an ass.
So what did you think? And can't you see Emmett doing that?
