Next To Me: Emmett Cullen(old Version)

Chapter 7

"so you want me a werewolf to hang out with you and your vampire family?" I asked digging in my locker as he lened on the locker next to mine. He un-crossed his arms and moved from the lockers then taking my books from my hands and carried them for me.

"what's the big deal?" he asked with a childish smirk. The big deal? I sighed and explained what the 'big deal' is. "our kind hate each other" Emmett simply shrugged and continued to walk down the hallway with me. I felt way to comfortable with him. It was unnatural the way I was feeling for him. He's my natural enemy and here I am standing shoulder to shoulder with him about to hang out with him and his vampire family.

Anyway, he was quick to open the library door for me and let me go in first. I looked around and there was no one there except for his family. I shyly smiles and waved at the group. "guys this is Shelby" Emmett said standing behind me. The cold radiating off of him made me shiver.

"hi I'm Alice" his short sister came up to me and gave me a big hug after she practically jumped out of her chair. The contact was an unnatural feeling but I was quick to return it.

Alice then turned to the blond with gloom in his gold eyes. "this is Jasper"
"n-nice to meet you ma'am" I shyly waved with a kind smiled.

"you already met us but this is my little brother Stefan" Damon said with a smirk as he slapped his hand on the dirty blonds shoulder. Stefan was quick to knock his brothers hand off then gave me a straight mouthed smile. "hay Shelby"

"hello Stefan" I smiled setting in the middle of Rosalie and Emmett. "so this is cool?" I asked rasing an eyebrow while pointing my finger to all of us. "your a wolf so what" Damon shrugged while tilting his chair back.

"well we're gonna become great friends, all of us" Alice smiled. I raised an eyebrow at her. It wasn't a question it was a statement and it was strange. "some of us have special powers.. Like I can tell the future" Alice explains. I nodded then waited for everyone else's input.

"I can feel and change emotions" Jasper spoke quietly. Softly smiled at his weakness. Not that I found it amusing or funny. I could tell he's been through hell and I sympathize for him.

"what about you two?" I said point to the salvatores. "we have the power of compulsion and these" Damon said holding up his hand showing his blue ring. "these things help me and my brother from burning in the sunlight"

"I thought you guys sparkled at least that's what the ledges say" I asked. Damon nodded and forced his mouth to a straight line. "we are a different kinda vampire"

"different vampire? Like there's different breeds of you?" I asked looking around at the group. "that's what I always said" Emmett said pushing Damon so he fell backwards in his chair. Stefan rolled his eyes. "get up Damon"

"it's always 'stop Damon' , 'get up damon', never 'are you okay Damon?" the dark haired vampire mocked. I chucked and and folded my hands on the table. "are you okay Damon?" I asked trying to suppress the laughs.

"yes I am thank you for asking" he smirked then looked at Rosalie. "I like her already" the others laughed and looked at me. This is the most comfortable I've felt since my parents died. The first time in six months since I could genuinely say I'm having a good time. I didn't know why I felt so comfortable with them. It was almost better than the pack.

"Eddie where you been? Your late to the party" Damon said as Edward walked in and he looked very pissed I might add.

"I'm going to Alaska for a bit" Edward said with a brooding look. "why? You gonna go pout in the snow banks?" Emmett teased.

Stefan sighed. "what's going on Edward?" Edward sighed and slumped in a chair next to Alice. "it's that Isabella swan girl.. She's just soo.."

"hay that's my cousin your talking about" I said a joke. Edward snapped his head up and gave me a apologizing look totally missing the joke. "yeah I know, trying living her" I finished he almost looked relieved that I wasn't mad. Rosalie snorted and covered up her laugh as I bashed my cousin a bit. She would do the same to me so I had no sham.

"I'll tell her to back off if you like, but try to look at it in her perspective.. She thinks you hate her and she hasn't even done anything to you" I explained. He looked down and only nodded letting my words sink in.

"by the way" I started. "Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys... Really appreciate it." I smiled.

"any time ma'am" Jasper said. "yeah far as I'm concerned your one of us now" Damon added.

"i wish I could agree but we're supposed to be enemies and I would hate to put your family and my pack in danger" I said. They all looked at me. Some had disappointment and some had understanding.

"you know we don't care right?" Emmett spoke. "as long as we don't break the treaty we can still be friends"

I only nodded with a smile. "you guys are a lot excepting than I expected"

"we're all damaged goods, welcome to the club" Damon spoke with a smirk. He held out his fist and was quick to bump mine to his.

I made something I hadn't made in a long time. It was friends, I actually made friends that I didn't have to lie to or hide who I am from. Man it felt good.

°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°

When I got home I raced to kitchen and grabbed a pair of keys I haven't touched in a long time. I opened up what me and Andy called the forbidden drawer. I sighed as I stared at the box. The inside of it was lined with red and white checkered paper that was slowly peaking. The only thing in there was some gold keys with a Ford Keychain holding them together.

I sighed as I picked up my father's motorcycle keys. My middle finger slipped into the key ring as I squeezed the keys in my hand as I walked into the living room

"tell uncle Charlie I'm taking the motorcycle out" Andy looked up from his home work and Bella looked up from her copy of gone with the wind

"why are you talking dad's motorcycle out?" Andy asked. I shrugged and fiddled with the keys making them make a soothing clinking sound.

"a-are you sure charl- dad will let you take it out?" Bella stuttered from the couch. I shrugged. "it's mine.. Dad left it to me"

"o-oh I'm sorry, I didn't know" she said running her fingers through her hair nervously. I rolled my eyes and walked passed them both. "see ya in a bit"

"love ya sis!" I heard as the front door closed. I was quick to put up my blue hood over my head then slip my leather jacket over the hoodie to keep warm.

I nervously walked into the garage were the glossy navy blue motorcycle was. I felt the tears prick the conner of my eyes as I ran my hand across the seat and handel bars. I nodded to myself as I got the courage to get on the bike.

After I got comfortable on the bike I slipped on the light blue helmet that had gold angle wings on it. Tears won and fell down my cheeks at the comfort the helmet had. The thing still had the smell of my dad's cologne. It felt like he was right there and son of a bitch o wish he was. I wish he was there to teach me how to ride this thing like he promised. I wish my mom was there to tell me everything will be alright.
