Chapter 3

Charlie and Billy arrived about an hour later. Hermione and her friends went down to La Push while Jake and I made dinner.

"Bella, good to see you out of the house." My dad said. I knew he was making fun of me. I rolled my eyes and kept cooking.

At dinner, Hermione talked about her year so far. She led everyone into the living room, when I saw familiar eyes watching me. Emmett. I'm hallucinating. I closed my eyes and looked. He was still there.

"I need some air." I said. "Go ahead without me."

"I'll come with you." Jake said.

"No Jake, I'm fine." I walked outside.

"Hey little sis." He picked me up in a huge hug and let go when he could tell I couldn't breathe.

"Emmett, what are you doing here, I thought you guys left."

"We did but I have to tell you something." He took a deep breath. "Edward still loves you."

"You're insane, he's engaged to someone else and he left me, he didn't want me."

"It's all a ruse."

"I can't spend my whole life thinking about him, I probably will never stop loving him but…"

"But what, you're giving up. That's not like you at all."

"I have to Emmett."

"I'm going to keep coming around though."

"Fine. Bye Emmett."

"It will be as if I never existed." Easier said then done.
