Chereads / The Swan Twins: Winter Solstice / Chapter 6 - 2• Emmett

Chapter 6 - 2• Emmett

We both woke up to the same sound, Seth screaming my favorite song at the top of his lungs. Oh how I can't wait until his balls drop and the high notes become low too. I jumped over Izzy, landing on my feet, I bolt out of the bedroom after Seth. We both sprint downstairs into the kitchen were Mom is making breakfast. Hearing the commotion she turns with her hands on her hips.

"Paisley Everest Clearwater-Swan, what have I told you about chasing your brother through the house?"

I make eye contact with Leah who just walked in from the backyard.

"You tell me to leave him alone and not to even think about hitting him once your back is turned."

She nods, satisfied with my answer, and turns back to the stove. The moment she isn't looking Leah smacks Seth upside the head causing him to yell in pain. Mom turns back around looking for me.

"You said I couldn't hit him so I didn't, Leah did."

While she's trying to figure out what to do I rush back upstairs throwing clothes on and dragging Izzy back downstairs then out the door.

Izzy follows behind my car with her thundering truck, all the way to the high school. I park my baby next to the Cullen's cars, since they are the only other people who know how to treat such a beauty, and then lean against Izzy's truck as she gets out. I lead her to the office were she gets her schedule, then we have the upmost pleasure of running into Eric -not really pleasurable seeing as I hate him, but I digress- who tries to flirt with my sister. I'm obviously not having it and lead her away.

Unfortunately we had to part ways because she doesn't have any classes with me, so I trudge my way to history. Walking inside I go to the very back table, which is empty until someone takes the seat next to me. I glance up and there he is in all his glory, Jasper Hale. He looks like a god with his muscular pale skin and his inhuman beauty. As I study his face I notice the shadows under his eyes, making him look like he hasn't slept in days. I realize I'm staring so I snap my attention to the front of the class, but not before seeing a smile grace his lips.

Through all my morning classes I thought of Jasper, like I have been for the past two years. Lunch rolls around fast, I go to my usual table texting Izzy where I am. She comes over in a hurry, smiling wide and glancing towards the Cullen table.

"I talked to Emmett, and he wants to take me out tonight. I'm so excited you have to help me pick what to wear."

My eyes widen and I glance towards the bear of a man, he looks like he could break my sister in half. Silently I stand going to the table with the five deities. I kneel down so I'm level with Emmett's face.

"You hurt my sister Emmett and I'll burn you alive, got it?"

Emmett laughs, the pure sound of it echoes throughout the entire cafeteria.

"I got it mama bear, return the cub in one piece."

I stand and send a smile towards Jasper, "exactly, I'm so glad we understand each other. I was worried you know, for the manhood in between your legs but it sounds like you won't upset her so you can keep it intact."

Turning on my heel I strut out of the cafeteria into the courtyard of the school.

Standing in silence I debate skipping the rest of the day. I make my decision when I get joined outside by Rosalie.

"What do you want blondie? The bear already pissed me off."

Rose smiles at me, "I'm leaving, want to come with? We could talk cars and shop."

My eyes light up as I grab her hand and walk her to my car spouting facts about my Impala all the way. Once on the road heading towards the mall I feel as if eyes are on me, my suspicion is confirmed when I feel Rose's cold hand on my arm.

"What makes you so weary about Emmett dating Isabella?"

I sigh biting my lip, a nervous tick I developed as a child, "I'm worried he'll hurt her. Look how huge he is compared to Izzy; he could crush her."

Rose chuckles quietly, "That's the same concern I have Paisley and I'll be sure he doesn't hurt her."

After our small conversation she turns on the music as I speed towards the mall.

Once there we go inside heading straight towards the clothing store. The next few hours are spent getting to know each other and buying a variety of outfits; we plan a sleepover at her house this weekend as we leave the entrance of the mall. I drive her home going over the speed limit; I have to help Izzy get ready and she has a hard time with it unless I help her. I make it home with an hour to get her dressed for the date.

Entering the house I'm bombarded with Izzy and Leah dragging me up the stairs.

"You've been gone for hours Eve, we barely have enough time to get Bells ready and she's a absolute mess."

I roll my eyes at that, Leah's always been overdramatic. Izzy runs her hand through her hair, "Where were you Lee? I seriously need help."

"I was at the mall getting new clothes with Rosalie Hale. Now sit down Izzy, I got you the perfect date outfit." I dig through the bags throwing the clothes at her as I find them. Izzy pulls off her school clothes slipping on the new outfit quickly.

"Oh my god Lee!! I love it, you're so good at this." Izzy throws her arms around my neck hugging me tight.

"Yeah whatever Iz, just be careful ok. I don't know if I trust that guy."

Leah frowns, "I agree. Those people are strange Bells just be careful ok?" Izzy pulls away from my hug with a irritated look on her face. Before she can chastise us the doorbell rings through the house causing her to rush down the stairs. The front door opens and closes indicating that she's left. I pull out my homework and textbooks working on that for an hour or so before growing tired. Getting off the bed I pull my nightshirt out of the dresser and slip it on. I replace my work into my bag before reaching over turning off my lamp and falling asleep.

Hours later I'm woken up to Izzy climbing into my bed again. I open my arms to her letting her curl up against me. "How was the date with Emmett?"

She sits up excited, "It was amazing Lee. He took me to the movies and then we went to this meadow where he laid out a picnic and we ate under the stars. I know it's early to say this but I love him."

I scoff lightly, "you're obviously tired if you're talking about love. Go to sleep Isabella."

She lays back down with a sigh. "I knew you'd think that Paisley, goodnight."
