"Considering how clumsy you are, it's probably a bad idea for you to be sitting a roof," Emmett says, startling me, as he climbs out of my window.

"I think I could sit here safely if giants did come out here trying to scare the bejeezus out of me."

Emmett lets out a booming laugh that rattles the window and takes a seat next to me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I tell him and continue staring into the trees.

"No one who is really fine say those words."

"I just, I didn't think that when I told him that I wasn't good enough for him and that he should be dating knockouts like Tanya he would go out and actually ask out Tanya."

"So you told a guy to do something and now you're upset that he went out and did it?"

"It wasn't what I meant to happen."

"What exactly did you expect him to do? You girls don't seem to understand that we can't read your minds. We take everything you tell us at face value."

I could feel Emmett's eyes on me, but I refuse to acknowledge it and kept my eyes staring straight ahead. Emmett sighs and remains quiet for a few minutes, but I should have known that he lacks the ability to remain quiet.

"Why didn't you say anything when he went out with her? Why didn't you stop him?"

"He is so out of my league."

"Who cares? Rose is so far out of my league, she's in a different sport! I'll fight to the death to make sure that I keep her though."

I put my head down on my knees and Emmett lets out a frustrated sigh when I remain quiet.

"Maybe you just don't care about him as much as you say you do." I quickly whip my head around to look at him incredulously. Before I can yell at him, we hear a car pull into my driveway.

"I can't believe he brought her here. Why would he think it would be a good idea to bring his new girlfriend to my house?!" I'm so furious that it takes me a while to notice the cloth they throw up on the top of the car.

"I think he's just trying to show you who he really cares about."

Tanya slips back into the car and I can hear Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" blast from the speakers, but I'm too focused on the large block letters that cover the car.

Be my girl, Bella
