Chapter 16 Two world collide

Lucas's POV

A lights flicks on, as I attempt to catch a breath, but the air evades my waiting lungs, and an ache begins to fill me. Emmett is hovering over me, a look of pure shock on his face, and I somehow find the will to open my lungs. Sweet wonderful air fills my insides, and the ache fades away instantly. My thoughts race together in a jumbled mess, as I peer into his blue eyes. The blue eyes that I never thought I'd ever get the chance to see again. The blue eyes of my true love.

I can't hear anything, so it's like a silent dream, when he pulls me into a tight hug. I quickly realize that I can't feel him either. I still feel the warmth of the shining light. What's happening to me? Emmett is looking in my eyes, but I can't reply. He shakes my body gently, but I flop around like a rag doll. Worry crosses his face, and I try to tell him that I'm okay, but nothing happens. Am I okay? Is something wrong with me? Was I dead for too long? What's going on?

Just as I'm starting to get worried, I feel a stinging in my arm. I look down at it, and a smile crosses his face. He mouths something to me, but I still can't hear, so I just shake my head nonplussed. i do the one thing that I can't wait any longer to do. I force my body up, and press my lips to his as softly as I can. As soon as our lips meet the feeling rushes completely back to my body, and I wrap my arms around his neck, as he lifts me off the ground, and spins me around 

Our lips mash furiously together, and the love emenates through my body. I want him right now, but right now I need to warn him about James and Victoria. There's no telling what they could've already done in the last few minutes of insanity. I can feel his trembling arms snaking their way back around me, as I attempt to wrestle my way out of his grip. I open my mouth to scream, but nothing comes out, so I stamp my foot against the carpet furiously.

He looks at me worriedly, so I signal at my ears, and he finally realizes. Leaning me backwards, and onto the soft expanse of cushion that makes up the couch, he kisses me once more, and this tiime it's more sensual. My cheeks flush with heat, and something moves on the edge of my vision. What the hell is going on? I feel like I'm on some kind of bad trip or something. Sitting back up I look around and notice that it's not dark anymore, and Emmett is across the room. It was only a second ago, when I woke up.

"Oh Lucas thank god" Chloe says, from somewhere to my right, and she rushes over to my side with a bottle of water, but it turns my stomach. I shake my head disgustedly, and watch as Emmett distraughtly paces the far corner of the giant room. I look around and see that most of the Cullens are present, and none of them look happy. What happened while I was gone? I go to stand up, but Emmett's there in the blink of an eye, and I'm gently pushed back down onto the couch.

"What the hell?" I mutter, before attempting to stand again, but his hand holds firm on my chest, as he holds me down. Tears fill my eyes, as I notice the look he has in his eyes. Full of hatred, and it's aimed at me. What could I have done to deserve that look? I risked everything to come back to him, and he hates me. I should've just stayed there, so I could be at peace, but then I would've never seen Emmett again. I can't handle that it wouldn't be worth the peace. 

Emmett bites his lip, before turning away from my shattered soul. A wave of bitter cold runs down my spine, and for a minute I feel dead, but alive. I feel like the moment when two worlds collide. Incapacitated. 

"Emmett, look I'm sorr-" I begin, wanting to apologize for whatever I did to upset him, but he cuts me off harshly, making the tears escape down my face. I was trying to keep the tears at bay, but alas it's inevitable.

"Don't you dare apologize!" he roars at the top of his lungs. I look into the eyes filled with pure, raw fury. My entire body siezes in fear, and sobs begin to rack my body. His gaze softens, and he dashes to my side. Esme shakes her head quickly, before turning away from the tense situation raining down on her living room.
