Edward's POV

"Stop it," I murmur, laughing. "Stop! Now go and hunt."

Ella has been giving me the puppy dog eyes for the past hour, while her siblings implore her to hunt. She doesn't want to leave my side, none of them do, but they have to hunt.

I think the thing Ella's most worried about is leaving me on my own. Well, less leaving me on my own, more leaving me unprotected.

"Fine," She says. "Stay safe."

"I will," I promise her, before they run out the front door into the woods.

I can walk now, but with a limp, and not at vampire speed. My face has healed enough that I can move it, but the scars still run quite deep.

I hate Emmett.

Well, I don't.

That's the problem; I want to hate him, but I understand why he did it.

Is that weird?

I hear a knock at the door, so, using the sofa as support, I pull myself up until I'm standing. I manage to limp to the door without falling, but I have to use the walls for support. Pulling the door open I see Alice, Carlisle and Emmett standing their.

It seems Carlisle has a fistful of the back of Emmett's shirt. Emmett looks uncomfortable. "Emmett has something he'd like to say."

"I'm so sorry," Emmett murmurs. "For everything."

He looks at me with honest eyes, but he is hiding his thoughts.

Whether the apology is genuine or not, a simple 'sorry' or quiet requests for forgiveness just aren't enough anymore. Now, not only have this family put me through indescribable emotional pain, but excruciating physical pain as well.

Yes, a simple sorry definitely isn't enough.

"Not interested," I snarl, slamming the door in their faces.
