Emily's (PoV)

"She's figured out hasn't she?" I ask Alice, while we were stood watching as Bella and Edward walk off into the woods. 

"Yes she has," Alice replies. 

"I hope she isn't angry at me that I didn't tell her," I state looking at where they disappeared. 

"Don't worry about it Em, you kept your promise to us and didn't tell anyone as it wasn't your place to tell, it will be fine," Rose says to me, comforting me.

The bell goes and we all walk into school. The day flies by and lunch comes around very quickly. I sit with the Cullen's and notice that Bella and Edward still have not come back from the confrontation. I'm a bit concerned but that is soon replaced by calmness as well as happiness when I see Jasper.

I don't end up seeing Bella until after school. She tells me that she knows. We go up to her room where we talk about it. 

"So you know?" I ask even though it sounds like a statement.

"Yes I do," she replies.

"And you okay with it?" I ask. 

"Yeah I think I am, I'm not afraid of Edward if that's what your wondering, I love him too much to know that he won't hurt me." She replies, confidently.

It goes silent until I was asked the question I was dreading to answer.

"Em, why didn't you tell me that the Cullen's were vampire's?" She asks quietly, not looking me in the eye. 

"Bells, I know what your thinking, you think that I don't trust you enough to tell you this secret but that's not why i didn't tell you," I pause. "I didn't tell you because it wasn't my secret to tell Bella, I was sworn to secrecy by the Cullen's,"I stopped as my voice faltered slightly. 

"I hope you understand and respect the decision that I had to make. I do trust you but, I wasn't sure how you would react to them being vampires and I was so scared that when you did find out that you would hate me," I finish, letting the tears pour down my face. I look up at Bella, she looks at me with guilt and sadness.

She thinks it's all her fault. It's not.

Bella suddenly moves over next to me and hugs me. It was so unexpected that I just went stiff when we came in contact, until I relax and hug her back tightly. 

She whispers into my ear, "Em it's not your fault, I don't blame you for not telling me. It's the Cullen's secret not yours and I can't expect you to tell me something that isn't your to tell," she pauses breaking the hug to look me in the eyes. 

"I respect and understand the decision that you had to make and even though it was hard you managed to stick to it and not tell me. I would never be able to do that, and that makes you the strongest person I know," Bella says, comforting me, wiping away all my tears. I smile at her and she smiles back. 

"I'm still sorry for not telling you though," I say. 

"It's okay, I know now, that should mean something now shouldn't it," she replies. 

"Yeah I suppose." 

An awkward silence overcomes us until Bella breaks it.

"Enough of this, let's go get some snacks and watch a movie, you can stay with me tonight," Bella states. 

I grin and get out of my bed and run downstairs to the kitchen. I get crisps, chocolate, sweets and ice cream before I run back up to the room where Bella is selecting a movie.
She ends up picking the notebook a movie that I love but it always makes me cry.

We both get into Bella's bed and start eating food. I press play and watch as the movie begins. Me and Bella watch as we see the love story happen before our eyes. It's so moving that at the end we both cry and hug each other. 
Once the movie ends we wipe our tears away and put away all the leftover food and turn the TV off. We then get into bed.

"Goodnight bells," I whisper. 

"Goodnight Em." 

And with that we both fall into a deep sleep.
