Goodbye For Now (Twilight Fan Fic)

Pain

Emmett's POV

"WHAT THE HELL EMMETT?" Jasper yells at me the moment we get out the car. He snarls at me, and looks ready to attack. Carlisle and Esme come rushing out, and I glance at Rosalie and Alice. They both look murderous.

I can't help it, I scream back. "WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM, JASPER?!"

He growls, properly, this time. "Why am I defending him?" He hisses. "Why am I defending him? Because when I met him in History, he spoke to me as if 56 years hasn't passed since I last saw him. He laughed, and told me he never stopped counting us as family. He was happy."

I lose it. "Oh. So only he can be happy?! He may still consider us family, but obviously he doesn't give a damn about us!"

Jasper snarls. "Like how we didn't give a damn about him? How we wouldn't let him speak his feelings? How we drove him out of his own home?!"

"DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT HE PUT US THROUGH?!" I scream. Carlisle and Esme seem to have caught on to what we are talking about; their eyes are wide and disbelieving. "DO YOU NOT REMEMBER THE MONTHS WHERE OUR WIVES CRIED?! WHERE WE MOURNED HIM AS IF HE WERE DEAD?! HOW WE HAD TO MOVE, BECAUSE OF HIM?!"

Jasper growls again louder. "We didn't have to move. He never thought we'd move."

"How do you know?" I challenge.

"Because two weeks after he left, he came back to find us gone!" Jasper screeches.

Woah. Whatever I was expecting, it certainly wasn't that. "Kids," Carlisle calm tone breaks through the heavy silence. "Please explain."

"There are three vampires at our new school. Edward is one of them. Emmett decided to give him a less than warm welcome," Rosalie almost snarls. I'm screwed.

"What did he do?" Carlisle asks warily, pulling Esme into his arms.

I open my mouth, but Jasper beats me to it. "He shattered half his face."

"I didn't shatter it. Just cracked it, and his hand," I mumble quietly.

Esme looks sick. "Is that all?"

I sigh. I shouldn't lie now. "I cracked his legs, and I think one of them was pulled off in the process."

"Did... Did he fight back at all?" Carlisle murmurs quietly. I almost don't catch it.

"No..." I answer. He practically let me beat him up.

Jasper glares at me more intensely again. "You know why that is, don't you?" I shake my head. "Because unlike you, Edward has morals. He is good, and kind and didn't want to hurt you. He has beaten you before, he could beat you now. But he didn't want to hurt his family. I am proud to call him my brother, and disgusted to call you an acquaintance."

Then he storms off into the forest.

***Mary's POV***

We just manage to get Edward home without hurting him further. D and Darren gape at him as we lower him onto the sofa and Tristan fills them in.

"I'll go find Ella," I murmur, and walk back outside.

I take off at a run, but as I near the heart of the forest, I run into none other than Jasper Cullen. "Sorry," I say sheepishly, as I had accidentally knocked him to the ground.

"That's alright," He smiles slightly. "You're Mary, yes?"

"Yeah," I reply, shuffling uncomfortably. "How's Emmett?"

Jasper's expression darkens. "I don't know. We just had a screaming match. I had to get out of there before I ripped his head off myself. As much as we hate him at the moment, I don't think I could deal with the wrath of Rosalie."
