Chapter Six

Nothing's really happened these past weeks. Me and Emmett have been taking our relationship slow, at least I've have, Emmett's...trying. I haven't really heard from or about Edward or Rosalie, haven't been thinking about them either.

I was currently playing a video game with Emmett, and I had just beaten him for the hundredth time.

"OH YEAH, you just got BEAT AGAIN!" I yelled in victory, taunting Emmett. He groaned and tossed his controller aside and stood up. "You got lucky." He muttered. I laughed, "Yeah, I got lucky a hundred times." He rolled his eyes and leaned in to kiss me, but I backed away.

"You said you'd wait." I smirked. "But Bella, it's been weeks!" He whined. I sighed, "I'm sorry, ok? I really am but I just can't seem to get into a relationship right now, especially after what happened with Edward. I just need time." I pushed past him and ran into the forest, ignoring his pleads to wait.

I walked and walked until I just sat down on a nearby rock and thought. I really like Emmett, I do, maybe even love, but am I really in the position to get into a relationship…especially with his brother? That just sounds so shady. But Emmett really loves me. Love; what hell is love anyway? I mean he told me he loved me right after the whole thing with Rosalie…oh my god, was I just his rebound girl? What about that kiss though? And he protected me from Edward.

I sat there for hours just thinking, maybe over thinking but I just couldn't shake the feeling that maybe to Emmett, I was just a rebound, a way to get his mind off Rosalie. Alright, enough, I'm just going to go ask him. I raced back to the house to find Emmett sprawled across the sofa watching TV, the others were out so it was just me and Emmett.

I walked in, "Emmett, we have to talk, now." He looked up, straightened up, and turned off the TV.

"Look, Bella, about earlier…" He started but I cut him off. "It's my turn to talk." He nodded. "What am I to you, Emmett? I know for a fact that before the whole Edward and Rosalie thing happened, I was JUST your little sister. And then they messed up, and suddenly, you're in love with me? I don't get it, Emmett, I really don't." I managed to get out. He looked at me, stunned.

"Why do you care?" He said, breaking the tension. "Why do I care? Because this is my heart I'm putting on the line!" I yelled. How could he even ask that? Anger boiled in me. "Wait Bella, I didn't mean that." Emmett said suddenly, realizing his mistake.

"I don't care what you meant; I just don't want to get hurt again!" I snapped. I blinked and suddenly, he was by my side and his lips crashed on mine. I tried to hit him but Emmett had his hold on my wrists, pushing me back against the TV. After a minute, he backed off, releasing me.

"Isabella Swan, I will never hurt you." Emmett said quietly, walking out. I stood there, speechless.
