Well, here's the next chapter. I'm working on trying to upload them more often!

Chapter Nine
Emmett's POV
Emmett waited a full two hours after Edward left to go see Bella. He was standing as still as a statue behind her house, eyes focussed on her bedroom window. As soon as he knew it was okay to go, Emmett launched himself up into the air and grabbed the first ledge soundlessly. He swung on to the next wooden ledge and peered through the dark window.
Emmett looked into a familiar room; the one that looked like it could belong to a fourty-year-old. There were no posters, just a desk, wardrobe, bed and bookshelf. On the bed was the beautiful Bella herself, sleeping. Praying that it would not creak, Emmett unlatched the window with a soft crack and opened it.
She stirred but did not wake.
He lifted myself into the room and closed the window behind him. All around this room was the horrible werewolf scent. Jacob Black. His face wrinkled in disgust, but Emmett did not let his eyes leave Bella's pale face. Walking slowly and silently, he made his way to the desk and turned the chair to face her. He sat and waited for her to wake up.
"Emmett…" Bella's murmur startled him – was she awake? Did she know he was here? Her eyes were closed. She was dreaming about Emmett. He didn't know if this was a good or bad thing – nightmare or a peaceful dream? He'd have to wait and see.
Bella's POV
Emmett. Jacob. Edward. The Cullens. Charlie. Renee. Phil. The wolf pack. Jessica and Angela. Billy. Charlie.
Names and faces flash through my dream. But it always circles back to
Emmett. Jacob. Edward.
They linger longer in my dream vision, and finally memories sprout when each come by.
Emmett.
The day we met. The few weeks we spent together. The day we left Forks. Even the little things, like that quick kiss at the airport's secuirity, when I fell asleep in Emmett's arms. When he said he loved Rosalie. When my heart broke. When I left him.
Jacob.
The day we met, when I got my new truck. Walking down the beaches of La Push and telling scary stories. Becoming best friends. Discovering that Jacob was a werewolf. Repairing motorcycles when Edward was gone hunting. Riding the motorcycles - just because Edward told me not to. Leaving Jacob miserable when I left with Emmett. Jacob hugging me at the hotel. Him protecting me from the vampire.
The scene of my dream changed from bright colours to a dull, icy grey.
Edward.
Meeting in our Biology class. Discovering that he was a vampire. Falling in love. The (dreaded) Prom. My boring eighteenth birthday*. Him protecting me from visiting vampires. Our kiss outside his house. Forgetting our love. Forgetting Edward.
Dark scenes cloud my mind...
Charlie in disbelief when I said I was leaving.
Leaving Jacob and Edward heart-broken.
Leaving Angela and Jessica with the simple explanation of "I'm leaving".
Hurting Billy by hurting Jacob.
It seems that loving Emmett hurt everybody.
Bella came into consciousness slowly, not opening her eyes. No! I need rest! But she couldn't fall asleep again, no matter how hard she tried. Groaning loudly, Bella rolled over onto her side and opened her heavy eyelids. She glanced at the desk, her vision still hazy. Something was blocking the computer screen.
No...someone. Bella jumped up and let out a scream.
Emmett sat there.
Emmett's POV
Emmett was shocked by Bella's scream. Was she afraid of him?
"Shh! Bella, it's me, Emmett!" he whispered. Sure enough, she stopped and stared at me with large, blurry and tear-filled brown eyes. After a minute, she spoke.
"I -" she swallowed and her voice shook. "W-why are you here?" No pain made it's way on to her face. Emmett replied immediately.
"Because I need to make things right again. I'm so sorry Bella, you don't know how much. I know it will be hard to forgive me for what I said, but please. I love you, and I made a horrible mistake. I'm so, so sorry. Please, will you consider taking me back?" I begged.
Bella didn't speak.
"Bella -"
"Shut up. Let me think for a minute." she snapped. But she didn't sound like she could be angry; only like she was trying. Bella turned, laying on her bed. She had her back to me, but I could her her uneven breathing.
Bella had lay there in silence for half an hour now. At first there was silence, then a minute of crying, and now silence again.
Emmett just sat and watched her, waiting. To a God that would damn him, he prayed for her to forgive him.
Jasper's POV
Jasper followed Alice's distinct scent; zooming through the thick green forest. Whilst a part of his mind was focussed on finding her, another was thinking about how careless he'd been. While in her vision, Alice had been in such pain, yet he had not comforted her. His first priority was to know what she saw. Guilt weighed him down as he ran; but he didn't stop. Halfway there, a different scent caught his attention. Human. Two.
Jasper's mind turned off and the hunter inside him took over. No! He tried to hold on to sanity; to finding Alice. But the scent was too strong, to close. He was already on the human's trail. He hadn't fed in so long...the hikers came into sight, not noticing the vampire stalking them.
No! I can't do this! Why couldn't I have just hunted earlier? Jasper's mind screamed at him. Before he knew what he was doing, the humans' blood filled his senses.
"...crap. Stupid thorn!" a hiker's gruff voice seeped into Jasper's ears.
"Y'all right?" the other asked.
"Yeah. Just a lil' blood."
But it was enough for Jasper to smell, and in an instant he was on top of the bleeding man. He snarled and opened his mouth, leaning down to drink the man's blood...
To Be Continued...
MWAHAHA! I know that I hate "to be continued"'s, but I just HAD to do it. I made this chapter really short, but the next one will be longer, which also means it may take longer to write.
In other news...
I owe you some help in understanding this story.. Bella's dream must have been a bit confusing; so here's an explanation as to what happened before New Love.
Twilight - All normal events occurred; except James' coven never came to Forks, so the end bit never happened.
New Moon - *Bella had the same birthday but she never got that papercut, leading to Edward never leaving; but Bella did might find out that Jacob was a werewolf.
I hope everything's clear now! Any questions? Mention them in a review.
