This is my idea of what would happen if Bella had fallen for Emmett instead of Edward. As we all know Emmett is stronger so I have made this more graphic and their relationship more physical to show that. This story starts just after Bella arrives in Forks.

Bella stood looking over her vintage pick-up. Charlie stood close behind her waiting for a reaction. Never having been good at sharing her emotions, Bella fought back the tears forming in her eyes as she mumbled her thanks once again. She slowly moved to help Charlie take her luggage from the trunk of the cruiser and followed him into the house.

She waited until Charlie left her to unpack and then sank onto her bed in despair. It had been a long time since she had been back in this room and back in this life. With a deep sigh, she slowly began to unpack her bags and tried to relax.

It was lunchtime; Bella was sitting in the cafeteria with her new friends. Mike was chatting away barely pausing to take a breath and Jessica gazed at him with longing in her eyes. Tyler shoveled food in his mouth as he listened to Mike descriptions of La Push and the beach outing coming up. Everyone had been very friendly and seemed interested in Bella. However, her eyes were focused on a table across the large room in the far corner. "Who are they?" Bella asked softly, as she spoke the boy with odd but interesting golden hair gazed up at her then whispered to the boy beside him. This was the person at the table that held her attention. Five people sat around the table with untouched trays of food before them. There were two girls, an indescribably beautiful blond whose hair flowed down her back in soft curls and a small pixie like girl with an impish smile and short brown hair. There were three boys. Beside the golden haired boy sat the one who had caught Bella's attention. He was tall and extremely well built with short, brown hair. The last person at the table was a thin boy with dark blond hair and a peaceful expression.

Jessica followed Bella's gaze and smiled. "They're the Cullen's." She whispered to Bella. The Tallest of the Cullen's turned to gaze at her then Bella. A faint smile touched his lips. "The one that just looked over is Emmett. The guy on his right is Edward. He's with the blond Rosalie the other two are Alice and Jasper. They are adoptive children of Doctor Cullen. They just moved here two years ago. Everyone is totally in love with Emmett and Edward but Edward is taken and Emmett thinks he's too good for any of the girls here. Bella saw Emmett's smile widen slightly.

School was over for the day. Overall, Bella's first day hadn't been too bad. She had met Edward in her science class and he had barely looked at her she could feel the strength and the anger in him. He had been intimidating and she couldn't wait to get away from him. On the other hand, she had been able to make some new friends and she didn't feel nearly as alone as she had this morning. Bella slowly made her way to her truck while rummaging through her bag. She was looking for her keys and not watching where she was going. Suddenly she collided with what felt like a brick wall. She fell backwards from the impact and spilt her bag everywhere. A large hand reached down to her and Bella looked up in shock. Emmett stood before her offering his help. When she continued to stare, he dropped his hand and squatted down to help gather the contents of her over turned bag. "I'm sorry." He told her in a voice that was both strong and sensual. "Isabella, isn't it?" He asked Bella frowned. "Bella, actually." "Bella." He repeated. Her name made her shiver when he mouthed it.

Emmett stood lifting her with him. "I'm Emmett Cullen." Emmett said. Bella fought back the urge to say 'I know'. "It's nice to meet you." He told her then without another word he turned to walked briskly to the silver Volvo, where his family waited, and climbed in. Bella chest beat quickly and she smiled to herself. This was turning out to be a very good day.
