Secrets (Emmett Cullen Twilight fanfic)

Chapter 15

*NO POV*

"Emmett get out. I'll be done in ten minutes." Alice hissed next to the bathtub. Emmett sighed in defeat exiting the spacious bathroom. Alice turned to the girl in the tub, carefully removing her blood soaked clothing that hadn't been removed by Carlisle already. Dragging the damp sponge across Nichole's skin cleaning the dried blood.

"Alright I'm done." Alice moved aside revealing Nichole in some loose fitting sweats. Emmett scooped her up taking her back to his room.

"When will she wake up?" Emmett asked Alice who had followed him in.

"I don't know." She whispered. She didn't want to admit it but Nichole never showed up on her radar after her first vision of her. Once they met it was like she fell off the face of the earth, even though she was right here. She was invisible to Alice, to Edward but not to Jasper. Maybe she has to much emotional damage she isn't resistant to Jasper.

Alice left the room lost in her own thoughts as to why she couldn't see Nichole. Anything to do with Nichole Alice couldn't see, which was dangerous for everyone.

Emmett took a hold of Nichole's hand leaning against the couch. The last time she woke up she told him she loved him. He didn't want them to be the last words he said to her. He chose for Carlisle to fix her because he didn't want to be the one to choose to turn her. Emmett wanted Nichole to have a say in it too, so he chose the human way to fix her. Nichole's heart beat was stronger now, her breathing not labored and her skin gaining color back. Jasper was keeping a general numb feeling for her but it was difficult when he left the room to maintain it.

Nichole's hand twitched in Emmett's, who was by her side in an instant. A guttural groan filled the room ceasing all activity in the house. Dragging her eye lids open she was met by a pair of golden eyes.

"Thank god you're awake." Emmett laughed in joy. He leaned down kissing Nichole, letting all of his worries out. Nichole kissed back softly, still dazed from sleep. "I love you so much don't ever scare me like that again." Emmett said resting his forehead on hers, looking into the light brown eyes before him.

"YOU'RE AWAKE!!!!" Came a scream of delight from the door as Alice and Rosalie ran in.

"WE MISSED YOU DO MUCH." Alice screeched.

"Alice stop yelling." Rose whispered.

"Don't make me go back." Nichole sobbed, clutching onto Emmett's arm with her good arm like her life depended on it. Oh wait...

"He'll half to pry you out of my cold, dead arms if he tries to take you back." Emmett growled.

"It's hurts so much." Nichole sobbed harder, which caused more disruption to her ribs.

"Hey. Shhhh. It's gunna be okay. I won't let anyone hurt you again." Emmett pulled her into his lap carefully avoiding touching her back.

"Promise?"

"I promise. No one will ever hurt you."

"Can I eat something?" Nichole whispered.

"Sure. What do you want?"Emmett whispered back.

"I really don't care." Nichole whispered again.

"Why are we whispering?" Emmett whispered.

"I don't know." Nichole giggled while whispering. Emmett stood with Nichole in his arms still and ran down to the living area.

"Here. You get to torments Jasper while I find something for you." Emmett grinned. "Maybe this time he'll protect you." He muttered to lowly for Nichole to hear but Jasper still heard it. Sending a wave of numbness at Emmett he smirked as Emmett tripped a little before catching himself.

"Nichole I'm really sorry. This is all my fault, I should have came back to see if you were okay." Jasper apologized.

"Really it's fine man. Is it your fault Charlie cut his finger?" Nichole shrugged.

"No but-" Jasper started

"-then I don't blame you." Nichole finished. "Oh and don't let Emmett give you too much shit for this." Nichole added knowing Emmett would hear.

"Here. I figured you could make Emmett hold it out for you while you read it. I would suggest having him read it to you but wouldn't recommend it since he's basically illiterate." Jasper grinned picking up a book from the table.

"Hey! I resent that!" Emmett yelled.

"It's not my fault it's true!" Jasper yelled back.

"At least I'm not a nerd!"

"At least I have an IQ higher than eleven!"

"That's a generous guess Jasper." Nichole grinned.

"Heyyyyy. Whose side are you on." Emmett whined next to Nichole with a sandwich.

"Aww. Don't be sad." She pouted poking Emmett's cheek.

"I could never be sad with you around." Emmett grinned.

"I don't know whether to swoon or vomit." Jasper muttered leaving the room.

"Hey Nichole?"

"Yes Em?"

"I think I'm in love with you."

"You think?" She grinned.

"I know I'm in love with you."

"Well I've been in love with you for awhile now." Nichole kissed Emmett's cheek, stealing the sandwich from the plate.
