Curiosity

Chapter 13:

Emmett POV

What the hell? I knew something was up with Rosalie, she had been acting so strange. For months now. How could Esme know and not tell me?

I've drove for a while, not really having any destination in mind. Finally ended up turning around and getting myself a room at the lodge in Forks. I could be anywhere right now. But I don't want to be that far from Bella.

I know everyone thinks I am just the big dumb jock of the family, but dammit I have feelings too. And I know everyone thinks the reason I would tease Bella was just because she was so easily embaressed, but thats not it.

I LOVE to see her blush. Her face so full of color. And always over the slightest thing. She is beautiful, and whats bad is she doesn't seem to know. Still after all this time she is so insecure.

And Edward increased those insecurities by pushing her away all the time. Was he really afraid of hurting her physically or was it just a ploy because he was unsure of what his feelings for her where? If he really wanted to he could have come to me, Jasper or even Carlisle for that matter. Each of us have had sexual relationships with humans. We never killed anyone in the process.

What the fuck did I do to her? I mean I don't regret it. I loved every minute of it. I had been feeling insecure myself. I just hope she is okay. I didn't get a chance to check and make sure I hadn't hurt her. I didn't get a chance to talk to her.

Would she consider talking to me? I know I just helped ruin what she had with Edward but she's better than that. Better than what he deserves. If he really loved her, he'd have found a way to give her everything she wanted. I sure would.

I have to talk to her. Before I can make anymore decisions or change anything about my life.

With this decision made up. I hopped out of the worn chair of the lodges, that I had planted myself in the minute I got the room. Started out the door.

I'm going to talk to Bella.

Chapter 14:

Phone call Home

Well I was on my way to Bella's when I realized it was about four o'clock in the morning. She is probably asleep. I don't want to frighten her by just showing up in her room. I'll just drive by and if the light is on in her room, I'll go up, but first I'm going to call Esme and let her know how I am. And where I'm staying for now.

(phone rings)

(rings again)

"Emmett, are you okay? I was starting to get worried!" I could tell Esme was worried, her voice is laced with it.

I smile to myself. Feels good to know that there are a few people in my life who still care enough to worry.

"Yes, Esme, I'm fine. I drove for a long while earlier. Just letting things sort out in my head. Then you'll never guess where I ended up." I kind of laughed toward the end.

"Well sweetheart, I'm not really in the mood for guessing so please just tell me. Where do we need to send some of your things? Jasper - well really I am too, we were hoping you would come back soon, so we packed enough of your stuff for a few days. The rest we moved into a spare room, out of Rosalie's. Even though I'm not sure how much longer she will be here either." Esme sounded sad at the last part. What had happened after I left there?

"Well actually any of you, well Jasper or Carlisle could bring it to me themselves. There isn't a far distance to travel. I ended up back at the Forks Lodge." Again I laughed.

"Well I'm glad you decided to stay close to home. And I need to let you know something. You left before I could explain. I have not known about the Edward and Rose thing for a while. Just a few days actually. I over-heard them when we were out hunting and they thought they were alone. They were discussing if they should let you and Bella know. And then I let them know they were not alone, and demanded to know everything. And well with what had happened between you and Bella, I just wanted to be sure all the blame and fault was not placed just the two of you." Esme was talking so fast it was a good thing I was a vampire too, or I wouldn't have been able to keep up.

"Wow, now see I hadn't even thought of that. But thank you for letting me know. Have you explained to Bella. And why didn't Alice say something? I know she had to have seen what they were up to the minute they decided to do it. But it doesn't matter now." I said quickly. I was at Bella's and her light was on. I was in luck.

"No, I haven't been able to speak to Bella yet. I will call her in the morning though." Was all she said.

"Well, I'm going to go for now, Esme. I will call you later and let you know when to bring my things. I'm not at the lodge right now. Decided to go for another drive." With this I started to hang up, and Esme stopped me.

"Well I know you have a lot to sort out, but I was wondering. Do you plan on coming home? I haven't told you but Edward has left. He said 'to sort things out'. He doesn't want to be with Rosalie either. They haven't been together since right before we came back. Technically he wasn't cheating on Bella, but it was a betrayal. To both you and Bella, and well the whole family. So he won't be here. And like I said, Rosalie hasn't made her decision yet." Esme sounded worried I wouldn't return.

"I will let you know soon. If I don't come back to the house, I won't be far. But I would really like to come home. Things just aren't the same when most of us aren't together. And I just don't think I could tear myself away. But I will let you know. Still some -uh - thinking to do." And before she could say more, I ended the call. Turned the phone off and exited the car.

It was time to see Bella.
