34.

Emmett's POV

I wandered out of my room, after hearing Amy's ear piercing scream. I groaned as I heaved myself up.

I stomped to my door, and whipped it open fiercely. "What the hell?" I asked groggily.

I walked out to see Edward, Bella, Rose, Alice, and Jaz pissing themselves laughing. Amy stood with her arms folded, and a very murderous look on her normally sweet face.

I was confused. For one, she was covered in feathers. Secondly, her hair was multi-coloured and sticking out in all directions, and lastly she was covered in whipped cream. Georgia was licking her leg, and I held in giggles at that alone.

"Emmett!" Amy wailed, and I nearly rolled my eyes at her whiny-ness. "What the hell? Do something!"

"I'm sure it's not that bad.." I began, but trailed off. Yeah, it was bad.

"Hello? Are you blind? It's a crisis here! My hair is spiky?!"

I rolled my eyes at her, and sighed. Alice looked at me, with disgust. Oh. Alice was pissed that Amy complained about her spiky hair. I get it. "Well.. What do I do about it?"

Amy groaned, while the rest of the family giggled in the corner of the room. "You know what Emmett?"

I looked at her expectantly. I really had no patients for whiny-ness today. Especially not at 8:00 in the morning. "What?"

She hesitated, then sighed. "Nothing, not here. Come with me to the diner. I'll explain there."

I looked over at Rosie, and she nodded, slowly. She didn't want me to leave, I could tell. And I didn't want to leave her.

I walked back into my room, and pulled out my favourite Washington Mariners football jersey. Although I don't live in Washington anymore, I could still root for my team.

I slipped on my jeans, and ran down the stairs. "Let's go." I said, in a uninterested tone.

Amy looked at me. "Ugh, hello? I'm covered in fricken FEATHERS AND WHIPPED CREAM!"

I tried to hold in laughs, and I'm pretty sure a few escape. I never really realised till now.. that Amy's slightly.. Bitchy.

I stomped over to Amy, and peeled the feathers off her. I swiped off the whipped cream, then licked my fingers. "Yumm.." I murmured seductively. Amy groaned.

"That didn't help!" She yelled. "I'm going upstairs to change. You can thank you idiot siblings for all my rage!"

I rolled my eyes. Drama queen much. "Okay."

Everybody nodded, and Esme, I mean Esme was holding in giggles. Esme! Carlisle stood with a disapproved look, and Rosie, Bella, Edward and Jaz were laughing their asses off. Jacob would've loved this!

I looked around at them, waiting for Amy to come back downstairs.

I feel like I still cared about Amy. After all , she was my first and only girlfriend for a year. Before that, we were just.. Very close friends I guess you could say. I mean, I can still remember Sarah's funeral all those years ago. The hurt, the sorrow. I was the last person she talked to before the accident. I still remember sobbing over her, and Amy crying into me. When she ran into my arms after putting the flowers on the coffin, I buried my head into hair. That little girl I once knew.. Has changed dramatically. What happened to the Amy I used to know? The one who cared for me, called to make sure I was okay everyday. The one who cared for my family.. Now, that's seems all gone out the window. Our relationship used to be easy as breathing, and now, it's to complicated to work. I sighed. This was so frustrating!

Amy clomped down the stairs, wearing denim shorts over black tights. She was wearing a plain, long sleeve, blue shirt over the top. She hmmped, and walked past the rest of the laughing family. "Let's go Emmett."

"And how do you expect we get there?" I asked, holding out my arms.

"Walk."

"In the rain?"

"Yep." She popped on the 'p'.

I sighed, and looked back at my family. They all shrugged. Great. I'm going to have to get sick. Again. The last time this happened, I got sick from running to Rosie in the rain. Oh well.

I walked behind Amy, and slammed the door behind me. The sky was a deathly grey, and it was already beginning to sprinkle.

"So, ugh—"

"Can we please talk when we get to the diner?" she almost whispered. I could tell she was starting to cry.

"Yeah.. Sure."

I stuffed my hands in my pockets, and began the rain-walk.

Rosalie's POV

Emmett and Amy has just left, and now, we're are sitting in the lounge room, in silence.

"We can't just let them go," Alice squeaked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yes, we can," Carlisle said. "Emmett needs to figure this out on his own. I know he'll make the right decision."

The impatience I felt was maddening. What if Em figured out, he likes Amy better than me?

"Believe me Rosalie, that won't happen." Edward murmured.

"But what if it does?"

"But it won't."

I nodded. Okay..

"Seriously, don't fret Rose." Bella soothed.

I have a brilliant idea! Maybe, we should follow them to the diner, so I can supervise..

"Rose," Edward said. "No."

"Edward!" I hissed. "You can't stop me. It may be childish, it may be immature, but I don't care. I'm going."

Edward sighed, and I stood up and headed for the door.

"Rose!" Jasper said. "I'm coming with you!"

I looked at him, and smiled. "Aw. Thanks Jaz."

He nodded, and shut the door behind him. "So, what are we gonna do?"

"We are going to follow them, and hide out behind the diner. We might catch some juicy stuff about Amy."

Jasper nodded again. "Okay. Let's go."

The rain began to fall, as we shot through the forest. Luckily, there's was no-one out today. So we were free to run as fast as we wanted, whenever we wanted.

We began to slow down as I smelt the sickening human food up ahead. We came to a little square wooden building. The were signs out the front saying: Carver Café, and carved bears stood at the entrance. We both walked in, and spotted Em and Amy sitting at a booth in the corner.

Jaz and I ducked, and ran at a human pace through the restraunt. We decided to sit on the other side, seeing that we could hear perfectly, and we didn't want Em to spot us.

I slid into a seat, and held up the menu in front of my face. Jasper did the same thing.

I slid down low into my chair. God, we probably looked very stupid right now.

"He-llo.." the waitress stretched out the word, obviously wondering why we were hiding under the table. She eyed Jasper, and looked him up and down. "I'm Magenta. I'll be your waitress today. What would you like?" She began to talk seductively now, obviously to Jasper. I rolled my eyes at her.

"I'll have a coke." Jasper said, and smiled at her.

"I'll have a.. Lemonade." I murmured.

"Sure thing. I'll be back." She winked at Jasper. I huffed. If Alice was here, she would have slapped her silly.

I rolled my eyes again. Jasper looked at me, and raised his eyebrows. "So desperate."

I laughed, and continued to listen.

Emmett's POV

I sat awkwardly with Amy in this little, cosy booth. I looked at her confused. "So Amy.. You wanted to talk to me because.."

"Because I need to talk to you." She murmured. "About something important."

"Bring it."

"Okay.. Where do I start.." He voice cracked on the last word, and her eyes began to tear up.

"Oh Amy.." I said, and touched her hand. She half smiled. It was all mangled, all.. Heart broken.

I sighed. "Look Amy.."

"No," She looked down, and a tear trickled down her cheek. "I need to speak first," She sighed, and closed her eyes tightly, then reopened them. "I saw you and Rosalie yesterday.."

More tears poured down her cheeks, and I began to feel horrible. But, what was she talking about?

"What?"

She looked at me, with a shattered expression. "You know what I mean!" She hissed.

"Actually, no I don't," I murmured.

"When you and Rosalie came back from your trip yesterday. She tripped on the stairs, 'hurt her ankle'" She used her fingers as quotation marks . "Went upstairs, laughing your asses off!"

I thought back to yesterday. I jogged my memory. Oh. Oh!

"Do you remember now?!" She hissed. She saw me and Rosie.. Kiss.

"Look, Amy, I'm so sorry.." I began, but trailed off.

"I thought I loved you!" she murmured, and let out a sob. "I guess I was very, very wrong."

I sighed. "Oh Amy.. I loved you too."

"You loved me! That helps! So what happened?"

I couldn't tell her Rose and I were supposed to be together. What Alice saw. I couldn't tell her the truth.

"I'm sorry.. I can't tell you."

"What's going on Emmett?" She asked.

"Nothing! Nothing's going on!" I heard a loud gasp from the other side of the room. I looked around confused. What the hell? I ignored it, and looked back at Amy.

"I'm so sorry Amy.. I..never meant to hurt you." I whispered. I touched her hand.

"Your sorrys mean nothing to me any more!" She wailed. Tears continued to drip down her cheeks. I wiped one away, and heard a weird gurgled sound. It wasn't Amy.

I looked around again, and spotted a blonde head on the other side of the room. Next to her was.. A ruffled haired man. Don't tell me.

Rosalie and Jasper.

I pursed my lips in annoyance, and sighed. C'mon!

I shook my head at them, and turned my attention back to Amy. She put her face her hands, and cried. I felt so horrible!

"Oh honey.." I murmured.

"Goodbye Emmett." She whispered. She stood up, and walked around to me. She kissed my cheek, and exited the diner. I watched after her, my eyes glazing over. I sighed.

I looked over at Rosalie and Jasper, but they were already gone.

I leaned back in my chair. I fiddled around with my bottle cap, turning it around and around in my fingers.

"GET OFF ME YOU CREEP!" I heard Amy yell, from outside the diner. I craned my neck to see what was happening. A man in a grey hooded jacket, was attempting to yank Amy's handbag out of her hands. I leaped out of my chair, and ran for the door. My lemonade spilt all over the table, but I didn't care.

I ran outside, and a bit down the road. The rain began to pour around me. The mysterious man pulled out a knife, and held it to her neck. "Scream and you die." he whispered into her ear. My nostrils flared, and I held up my hands in front of my face. "Whoa, dude. Calm down."

The man stared at me, with a crazed expression.

"Don't touch her." I hissed.

The man laughed impishly.

I stood helpless in the rain, looking at him. I was thinking of how to defend myself. Knee in the crouch, kick in the ribs..

I turned my head around, only to see Esme, Edward, Bella, Carlisle, Alice, Jasper and Rosie standing behind him. They all had their fingers over their mouths, telling me to keep quiet. I nodded, and tried to make conversation with the mystery man. "Why are you doing this?"

He stared at me. "Because you took her from me!"

I looked at him confused. "What? Who are you?"

"Like I'd tell you—"

He stopped when I realised Jasper pulled his arm behind his back. The knife fell to the floor, and I considered grabbing it. I decided not to. If the police scan this later, my fingerprints would be on it for sure.

The man howled in pain, and fell to the ground. I ran to Amy, and picked her up off the ground.

Esme and Carlisle called the police, while Bella, Edward and Rosie kept him grounded. It was easy for them, but merely did it for the humans in the passing car.

Amy hugged into me. "Oh Emmett.."

"Shh.. Shh.." I murmured. "Do you know who he is?"

She nodded.

"Who?"

"Mike.. Newton."

I gawked. "What? He lives in Forks.. Why?"

She shrugged. "He always had a thing for me."

I shrugged. Suddenly sirens roared down the street, and the tires squeaked against ground.

Cops jumped out of the car, and rushed over to us. "I'm Chief Swan." A tall, dark haired man murmured. "There's no need to worry."

He walked away from us, towards the family. "Hey Bells." he said casually. "I'll take it from here. You guys go home. Thankyou, Cullens. This girl could have been dead if it wasn't for you."

Everybody nodded. I pulled Amy toward's Carlisle's Mercedes, but got pulled back by Chief Swan. "Amy, you'll need to stay here."

I let go of Amy, and Chief Swan took her. I walked towards the car, and Esme wrapped her arms around me. "Are you okay Honey?"

"Yeah, Mom," I murmured. "I'm fine. Thankyou for coming, this could've ended badly."

Esme nodded, and kissed my cheek. She rubbed my shoulder soothingly. "Let's go home."
