Summary: Emmett disagrees with his family, especially Edward,for leaving a heartbroken Bella behind after her birthday incident, so he decides to return and care for her.

" I wouldn't have left her like you did!"

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Stephanie Meyer is the respective owner, I'm just fooling around with the characters.

Bella came home to find Charlie there, and relaxing on the couch and watching another hockey game, when she got in the door. He raised a brow, an awaiting expression on his face as she entered the living room. He was still in his attire from work, and looked visibly tired, which meant he was on the verge of taking a nap soon before leaving back to the station.

" So, how'd it go with Jacob? You kids catch up?"

" Yep. Tons." She lied." You decide what you want for dinner yet?" Bella added, to try and detour him from anything to do with Jacob. She admitted, she still felt a little snippy about her visit, with he and Billy practically throwing her out as soon as she started to ask questions. Well at least now she knew something she felt Jacob should have told her a long time ago.

That he was a freaking werewolf.

Why would he have kept something like that from her?

It wasn't like she couldn't handle it.

But none of that explained why Jacob was in such a hurry to see her out.

She sighed. Her life was always out of whack somehow, it was insane.

" Nah. I'm good for tonight Bella. I think I'll just take a uh, cat nap before work."

"Alright. Goodnight Dad." She told him before ascending the stairs to her bedroom. She kicked off her shoes once she entered and dropped her bag to the floor. Once she closed her door shut, she walked over to her bed and plopped on her back, sighing.

" Why can't my life just be simply normal for once?"

Oh wait, that's right.

Because she started dating a vampire.

Yeah, normalcy flew out the window the second she got involved.

And now she just discovered her own best friend, was a werewolf.

The Blacks were werewolves.

As laid-back as her exterior may have looked to her father, she was completely freaking out underneath .

No freaking way, that's just too unbelievable.

ooOoo

Bella swallowed as she slammed the metal door to her locker that Monday school morning, and hoisted her backpack over her shoulder. She could hardly sleep, and she had been thinking about the discovery all weekend. Emmett hadn't showed up after her interrogation, and she was partially thankful for that- the less important part of her a little upset that he didn't, but that faded quickly.

She had been too much of an anxious wreck to be around anyone. But even so, she still wore a smile around Charlie. Worrying him was the last thing she needed to do. I mean she was just starting to earn his trust back, she was even allowed to drive her truck to school again, after her successful drive to and back from Jacob's house that Saturday.

Things were looking up for her and Charlie.. but not so much for herself.

She just couldn't get over the fact that, other than her father and friends at school- the rest of her life just wasn't normal- as normal as she tried to make it.

Even her best friend was a part of the supernatural, and all this time she had no idea.

How else could she react to something like that?

But what was even more weird was that Emmett and Rosalie didn't even seem to know that the Blacks were even around.

They had no idea about Jacob and Billy, that they were descendants of the Shapeshifters they had created the treaty with in the past.

And that's when she found herself wondering.

Should she tell them?

" Well good morning Bella." She jumped and snapped her head to the left.

" Emmett, hey." She breathed.

He smirked. " Why are you always so jumpy? I mean it's cute but you're really going to give yourself a heart attack one of these days."

" I hate to break it to you, but I'm pretty sure you're the cause. You pop up out of nowhere literally all the time."

" Ouch, okay I guess you're right," He grinned. " How about- I do thi-" And all of a sudden she felt his lips on her cheek. "-to warn you instead?"

She blushed furiously. " B-But that's even worse!" Why did he have to be doing this now, of all places? She had to admit though, as flustered as she was, it felt nice. But then again, that feeling was probably her hormones talking again. Just thinking about those feelings now.. reminded her of that night when things got intense, and she blushed even more.

But the fact that he would do that in public. At school.

" Remind you of something?"

She turned to him, her lips pressed in a thin line. " I'm going to go to class now. I'll see you at lunch okay?" But before she could start walking she felt his hand on her arm.

" Wait, alright I'm sorry. I'll behave."

" But I wanted to ask if you were alright too," His voice lowered a little as he let go of her wrist. Her brows furrowed a little. She turned a little to let by a couple-probably sophomores- that had maneuvered through, but not after stealing a couple of glances their way.

" I mean the way you left like that. Are you sure you're okay?"

" Emmett I told you I'm fine. I just forgot I had to be home in time to cook for my dad remember?"

" Right." But he didn't seem too convinced. Bella sighed. Damn it Emmett, why do you have to be so intuitive?

" See you at lunch then?"

His lips pressed together. "Alright. See you then," And then, slowly, he started the opposite way towards his next class.

Bella sighed, and placed her hand on her forehead.

She wished she didn't have to lie to Emmett, she really did, but she felt she had to- because well, if he ever found out about Jacob.

Things would not go well.

ooOoo

"Sorry Emmett." Bella thought, as soon as the bell rang for Lunch.

She darted out of her English class and through the crowds of students making their way to the cafeteria.

But instead of following them, she rushed the opposite way- down by the lockers and towards the main double doors, leading to the school parking lot.

The idea had been rattling her brain all morning, and now she had finally made up her mind.

She looked around swiftly to make sure the hall monitors or any teachers were around before she exited the building, her hands already fumbling for her keys in her front pocket. She mentally apologized to Emmett again as she reached her truck, hurriedly yanking the door open and jumping inside.

The engine roared, shaking the interior a bit, and she drove out of the lot.

She had to go see Jacob again.

But this time, she wasn't going away without getting answers first.

Author's Note: Hey boys and girls! It's me again with a new chapter! I hope you guys liked it; I'm not sure if it met your expectations or not but I really hope it did. I wasn't sure if I should post it, but seeing as I did- you can see that I've decided to kind of go my own way as far as the original plot goes.

Sure it'll have some similarities with the original, but what fanfiction doesn't?

Yay!

And I know this chapter was a bit on the short side, but I'll promise the next one will be longer!
