I DON'T OWN ANYTHING TWILIGHT RELATED.

Hey guys. Sorry about the late update. I am just stressed with some stuff. Anyway, you guys get chapter fourteen today. Now I'm not overly pleased with this chapter but it will have to do now. This chapter is all about Emmett. It's Emmett's turn to move on and slow down. You'll see what I mean.

Thank you all for the many reviews in the last chapter. If I get as many(that is above twenty) you will get the next chapter tomorrow if not I am just going to torture you and if you think you had to wait ridiculously long for this chapter you have no idea how long I will make you wait for the other.

SO READ, REVIEW AND ENJOY AND AS ALWAYS, I LOVE YOU.

TIME CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Chapter Fourteen.

Emmett's POV.

"Red, the color of passion."

Instantly, she stiffened against me. I was expecting this. She was just as confused as I was. What the hell is wrong with me?

I was pulled out of my internal thinking when my phone started to vibrate. Sighing I pulled away from Bella and the read the message I got form the pixie.

EMMETT McCARTY CULLEN,

IF YOU LIKE YOU EXISTENCE, DO NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD. SHE IS NOT READY FOR THIS. YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS. GET BACK TO THE HOTEL RIGHT NOW. TELL BELLA I AM TAKING HER SHOPPING TO BUY SOME CLOTHES TO MATCH WITH HER DIAMOND AND YOU AND JASPER ARE GOING TO HAVE A VERRRRRYYYYY LONG TALK. GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW.

Pixie.

Grumbling, I quickly replied and informed Bella about the plans. Well expect for the Jasper and Emmett bonding that was about to begin.

The entire way back, I was uneasy and tense. What was wrong with me? I was never like this. Rosalie was and is my soul mate. Shouldn't I be grieving for her even though she betrayed me and has the heart of the devil? Are my feelings for Bella changing? No that can't happen. Soul mates don't change. I was supposed to be with Rosalie and Bella was supposed to be with Edward but thanks to the stab in the heart by Slutie and Assward, I would be the epitome of the lonely, old man who lives on a mountain top and Hoddles. God, isn't life great?!?!?!?!?!

It took me about five minutes before I transferred Bella into Alice's hands but not before earning me a string of curses and glares that could melt the Arctic Circle from the pissed off pixie.

Finally after the girls' departure, Jasper and I took of for the Nevada desert in search of food, peace and answers. After two rabbits and a herd of deer (A/N: I know it's unlikely but just go with it) Jasper and I elected to find a shaded spot before our talks began.

"What's going on Em?" Jasper asked as he closed his eyes and leaned up against a palm tree.

"I honestly don't know. I am so confused right now that if vampires could have headaches, I would seriously be having one."

Sighing, I unceremoniously dropped myself onto the dry, parched dirt of the desert.

"I am so confused Jazz and I am hating myself for what I am thinking." I said as I gazed off into the distance.

"Em," Jasper said in his cool and naturally clamming voice, "I know exactly what you are feeling and your emotional climate is identical to Bella's."

"WHAT?" Now he got my attention.

"You heard me quite well." He replied wearing a smug grin on his face. "Bella is feeling the same thing as you. Love, confusion, hurt, pain, anger. The whole nine yards. The only difference is that you are feeling something more. Something different."

"I don't get it." I retorted grumpily. "Jazz, you are supposed to be helping me not confusing me more."

"I am helping you. It's just that there are some things that you need to figure out on your own."

"DAMN IT JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN NOT DEAL WITH THIS CRYPTIC SHIT. I NEED ANSWERS." I yelled in frustration as I launched a boulder into the sky and watched it fall to the ground fifty feet away.

"Emmett," Jasper continued as if he was dealing with a confused, overly spoilt brat, "Why do you think Alice freaked out this morning and demanded that you get your behind back to the hotel and forbid you to say anything to Bella?"

"What has that got to do with anything?" I asked in a small voice, not liking where this conversation was heading.

"It has everything to do with it." He said lowering himself down next to me.

"Alice has seen your future Emmett and it's one that we both want for you. You have to know that and you will find love again but only if you are ready for it and only if you heal you self first."

I was stunned. Seriously, why was all of this important? Heal myself first? Nothing is wrong with me. Right?

"Really?" Jasper interjected into my musing. "I can fell you denial and confusion. You know that you are not healed. You know that you are holding onto your own pain. You haven't dealt with what you have been through and it will kill your future if you don't get a handle of it soon."

"Pain? What pain. Jasper, please just tell me. I can't take anymore." I was close to tears. I was always the strong one in the family; the big goof-ball. I never let anyone know that I was in pain. I hid it well.

"One word Emmett- Rosalie."

And that was it. I was livid. I was never an aggressive person but at the mention of the bitch's name, I was seething. I hated her, despised her but still I cold not find it in my heart to wish her pain or hurt.

"See what I mean? You are not ready for any type of relationship. You haven't moved on from Rosalie. You just locked it away until further notice. Well, news flash buddy- this is further notice."

"Jasper, hold up. Why do I have to deal with this now? Why can't I deal with this after our vacation?" I asked as I grasped at straws to move away from this topic.

"Emmett," Jasper said seriously, "after we leave here, we are moving to a new town and you are going to be a doctor. Now forgive me if I'm wrong but I think that, considering that people's lives will be in your hands, you shouldn't be carrying any emotional baggage."

"Think about it Emmett. I know that Rosalie is extraordinarily beautiful but what if someone else comes into the hospital that looks like her or in some way reminds you of her what are you going to do? Would you be able to treat that patient?"

His words were true and struck me continuously like if he was centered on beating a rhythm out of me.

"You and I both know that you would not be able to do that. You will be shattered and hurt. You will remember everything that Rosalie did to you and you will take it out on that patient."

Sighing, Jasper gazed into the sky and looked his eyes onto the sun.

"Both you and Bella had to grieve. She did that and is now healing. It's your turn now."

With that, he got up and dusted his pants off. Placing a comforting hand on my shoulder he smiled slightly and then took off leaving me alone to my thoughts.

That, there was why I preferred Jasper to Edward. He understood and never interfered unless it was absolutely necessary.

I had no idea how long I sat there just thinking everything over. The first day I saw Rosalie. The first time I kissed her. The first time we got married. The many times we slept together. The love that I thought we shared. Every memory brought forth a new wave of anger. I hated her. I resented her but I held on to it too long. Jasper was right. This was running too deep and if I didn't deal with it, it would kill me slowly but surely.

I needed closure and there was only one why to get it. Whipping out my phone, I dialed the one number that I had avoided for far too long.

After the second ring, they picked up.

"Hello." Instantly, I was disgusted and greatly tempted to end this call before it actually began.

But no. I wouldn't do that. I had my demons to face and this was as good as any time.

"Hello Rosalie." I responded coldly.

"Emmett?!?!?" She gasped in surprise. Whore!!!!

"Yes. I called to ask you a question. I hope you could be of some assistance if that is possible?" I asked in a monotone voice. Even though it was killing me to hear her voice I needed this and I would never again give her the satisfaction to know that she had caused me pain.

"Okay." She answered cautiously.

"Why?" I asked. "Why do this to me, Bella, to the family?"

"I don't care what I did to you or Bella or the family." She responded with venom lacing her every word. "All I know was what I wanted and I would have done anything to get it."

And that was all I needed to here. I needed to here that I wasn't in anyway responsible for this. She was a cold, calculating bitch and sooner than later she was going to get it good from either me, the Cullens or the Volturi.

"Good bye Rosalie. That was all I needed to hear. Thank you."

"WAIT." She practically screamed.

"What is it?"

"Can you explain to me why I can't access our accounts?"

"I had your name removed the day I found out you were trying to kill Bella and in turn put Bella's name. I might have been emotional and resembled a hormonal pregnant woman but I knew even then that Bella would never screw me over the way you did."

"Does she know?" Rosalie sneered.

"No but what I do with my money and estate is none of your business. Why don't you go spend some of Edward's half of a billion dollar estate?"

"I guess I will after all he has SOOOOO much more that you." She taunted. God this bitch was shallow. Guess it's time to shut her up.

"No Rosalie. It's the other way around. I have SOOOOOO much more that him. You see being all big brother with Alice really does pay of. After all I have all of 1.7 billion dollars to prove it." And with a smug grin, I ended the phone call.

Finally, I had peace. I had closure. I was in no way responsible for what happened with them. I had no idea how or when I began to shoulder this blame but I needed this. I wasn't to blame. I wasn't to blame.

I was pulled out of my mantra chanting when my phone started to vibrate. Sighing I pulled it out only to see that I had a message from Bella.

Emmy,

I miss you. Please come back to the hotel. It's after midnight and I need my vampire pillow.

Bella.

Quickly, I was on my feet and running back to the hotel. Not too long after I was opening the door to our room and inhaling Bella's freesia and strawberry scent. It was oddly comforting. Quietly, I removed my shoes and took my place next to her on the bed and pulled her to my chest. Sighing, she readjusted herself and buried her head into my shoulder.

I looked on as her breathing evened off before I, in turn, buried myself in her hair. It was only then that I realized something.

Whenever I was in contact with Bella, I felt as if I was melting into her touch. It was like I was filled with molten lava just flowing and burning everything it touched. I wasn't the electric shock I got when I was with Rosalie. No, this was slow burning but for some reason even more devastating and much more potent. I had once heard that Bella was a drug to Edward but she was more damaging to me.

DAMN EMMETT…………………..Can't you see it? The meaning behind everything you were told. Marcus and his soul mate speak. Alice and her vision. Jasper with his cryptic bullshit on healing. Could it mean that you are going to have a new soul mate? Is there someone else out there for you? If there is who is it?

Suddenly, my phone vibrated again. Can't these people just leave me alone?

Grumbling, I looked down to see that the evil pixie had texted me yet again.

Took you long enough to move on and took you even longer than enough to move on. It's too soon for me to tell you your future because you will FUCK IT UP but you are no the right path. Just let things fall as they may and remember time changes everything.

Pixie.
