We were having a staring contest. I didn't know who was winning but I felt myself losing. He sat on my bed with his elbows on his knees and I sat in my desk chair with my legs crisscrossed.
"What'd you tell your dad?" Emmett asked casually.
"That I was with the squad for a girl's weekend," I told him.
"Did he believe you?"
"The girls covered for me." I shrugged. He nodded.
"What did you do while I was gone?" He seems reluctant to ask.
"I spent my time in La Push with Sam and Emily." I stood up from the chair and sat next to him on the bed. "I'm not going to lie to you Emmett. I did try to move on from you but I couldn't. That's why I went to save you- because I love you."
"What's his name?" He tensed up.
"Will knowing his name make you feel better?" He shook his head. "Then his name isn't important."
"I understand why you tried to move on." He stated. "But I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm glad it didn't work out." I chuckled and his expression seemed to brighten at the sound. "Edward said that Victoria came back."
"Yeah, that's how I got this ugly thing." I showed him my casted wrist and he shook his head.
"It doesn't make your beauty lessen." I gaped at him before laughing.
"When did you become such a romantic?" I teased him.
"Well, I was in Italy for a while, the language kind of rubs off on a guy." He joked back. I giggled and just like that, we were the same old Clary and Emmett once again. "By the way, I am loving this haircut." He ran his fingers through the ends of my short hair. "But why cut it?"
"I needed a change." I shrugged.
"Well, this change is working for you." He complimented. I beamed at him and leaned forward to kiss his cheek. "Clary?"
"Yeah?"
"I want you to know that I'm never going to leave you again. I want to be by your side for as long as you'll have me." He grabbed my hands and caressed them soothingly.
"Are you sure? Because forever is a long time." I smiled.
"Forever isn't long enough." He smiled back and kissed my forehead softly. He was about to say something more when Bella barged in with Edward right behind her.
"We're going to the Cullens, put some shoes on." She walked down the stairs but left my bedroom door open. I stood up and slipped my feet into my brown Uggs. I was still wearing my leggings and hoodie so I didn't bother changing. Emmett grabbed my hand and we met Edward and Bella downstairs.
