Apology

One week and six days. I had exactly that amount of time to live. One week and six days to spend with Emmett. Although, we weren't, really talking much. We basically avoided each other like the black plague. I guess he was still mad about me not choosing him to go to Volterra, and I get it. I didn't really explain my entire reasoning behind it, just that I didn't want people getting suspicious. But honestly, why did he want to come and watch my head and limbs get ripped off and thrown into a fire? 

I zoned back in as Alice was talking to me about the school day, and what she was thinking about for my wardrobe. All of the Cullens were acting like this was nothing but a vacation. Everyone except for Rosalie, who just treats me like usual. 

"And there's going to be a new girl coming the day before you leave for your trip!" she finished.

"A new girl?" I asked.

"Yep! Bella, i think. I can't tell exactly what's going to happen yet, but it's going to get clearer soon enough."

We were taking a walk by the stream, trying to get rid of any nasty thoughts about the weeks to come. All  could think about was the fact that this stupid grudge Emmett was holding was going to prevent s  from spending my last two weeks alive with him. Why did he have to be so stubborn?

I wanted to apologize to him so badly, but what would I even say? I'm sorry I don't want you to see your mate's life end? I had to figure it out. I couldn't go any longer without seeing him again. Especially since I knew he was mad at me.

"Go ahead," Alice muttered under her breath. "Go and leave me alone pouting by the stream, left to rot. Go and save your relationship."

I loved when Alice could tell what I wanted without me having to tell her. I gave her a thanks and a quick kiss on the cheek and sped to wherever I thought Emmett might be. 

"In your goddamn house, Y/N!" I heard Alice yell behind me as I headed for the main house. I made a stop, turned, and sped by her once again, off to find Emmett.

I ran through the door, not bothering to close it again and ran to my room. I stopped at the doorway and looked in. He might be mad enough to not want to see me, so I should at least eep my distance.

He was laying on our useless bed, throwing a random ball up in the air and catching it. Glancing down to look at me, he missed the ball and it hit his face. I chuckled, and he let out a small smile.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. "I'm sorry I can't take you with me, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

He took a deep breath and put the ball away, sitting up. "I'm not mad that you didn't tell me before. You obviously didn't know it yourself until then either. I'm mad that you think that ruining my eternity for you isn't worth it. I'm mad that you didn't explain your reasons properly, and most of all, I'm mad that you don't talk to me about this. I'm not stupid, Y/N. I can help you, if only to make you feel better."

I slowly walked up to him and sat next to him on the bed. "There is not doubt in my mind that you aren't stupid, Em. And I know you'd like to be included on this, but I feel like you're just going to get mad at my plan."

"Well then don't tell me about your plan."

"What the fuck do you mean? You literally said you wanted to talk about it more."

I placed a hand next to my body, leaning on it a bit, and he overlapped his hand on mine, stroking the back of it. 

"I want to be included on your feelings. Not some stupid plan. I want to be able to understand how you feel, and try and make it better."

God he was so sweet. I squished myself closer to him, pressing my forehead against his. "Just you being here is enough for me."

I connected my lips with his gently, savouring the moment before pulling away. 

I closed my eyes, trying to picture this moment, save it in my memory. If I could remember everything about him in death, than it would be a happy death.
