Together, Forever, For Eternity (An Emmett Cullen One-Shot)

I walk down the hallway of my school towards my locker. I reach it and put in my combination opening it, or well, attempting to. See my locker is a piece of crap and always gets stuck.1

“Damn it.” I mutter under my breath. I put in my combination again and once again my locker doesn’t open.2

“Grrrr!!!” I scream a bit to loud. I really don’t care though, my locker is way to irritating. 3

“Need help Laila?” I hear a voice behind me ask. I KNOW this voice, I dream of this voice. 4

I blush and turn to see the most gorgeous, amazing, god-like face ever. 5

“Y-y-yes. Thanks Emmett.” I stutter. I mentally slap myself for sounding so stupid.6

Emmett grins and I nearly melt into a puddle right there and then. He turns to my locker, leaving my eyes to wander over the rest of his body. He is perfection, everything about him is perfect. His hand rest on the knob of my locker, the muscles in his arm flexing. It looked like his shirt could rip off at any moment. 7

“Combo?” he asks, breaking me out of my daze. 8

“Oh it’s 20.” 9

His hand turns the knob and the little arrow points to the small 20. “41.” I tell him. 10

Again his hand moves and I tell him the last number, “12.” 11

He turns the knob to the last number and opens my locker with ease. I smile in relief. 12

“Thank you sooo much Emmett. I owe you one.” I tell him, gratitude filling my voice. 13

“Anytime.” he says. My knees officially turn to jello as he walks off. God his voice makes me melt. Me and every other girl in school.14

I sigh and bring my head out of my fantasies. No, he will never go out with me. I’m me and he’s, well him. Emmett, the totally ripped, sexy, gorgeous, god. I grab my books and run to my next class.15

----------------------------------16

3 months later…17

18

“Laila!” my best friend screams running towards me.19

“Yes Cassandra darling.” I say in a weird accent making us both laugh.20

After a moment our laughing subdues and she gets exited again. “Laila! Guess what’s in two weeks!!” she nearly screams.21

“What?” I ask confused.22

“Look.” she says, pointing to a giant posted hanging on the wall. 23

“Sadie Hawkins Dance.” I read, “Girls, time to ask the guys.” I finish, the rest of the poster just the date and time. 24

“And?” I ask her.25

“And!?” she screams, causing people to stare at us. I give her a look that tells her without words “smooth.”26

“You are going Laila, even if I drag you there myself.” she says quieter. 27

I shake my head no. “Listen Casey, there isn’t anyone I want to go with.” I tell her.28

“Oh Hell yes there is, Emmett.” she says inclining her head towards Emmett who is leaning perfectly against a wall not far from us. 29

I laugh, “Yes and so does every other girl in this entire school.” 30

“Well it doesn’t hurt to ask.” she says.31

“No, but it hurts to be rejected.” I tell her, sadness filling my voice as I stare at Emmett, daydreaming.32

That’s all I can do, dream.33

-----------------------34

The next day…35

I sit down, a tray of food in my hand, next to my friends. I look at Emmett as I eat, paying more attention to him than anything. Every now and then a girl would walk up to him, exchange a few words, then return to their seat looking sad and heartbroken. This happens every dance, girls are dared to ask Emmett out, or are brave enough to do so themselves. All of them, always receive “no’s.” 36

“Laila.” I hear a voice say, breaking me from my daze. 37

“Hmm?” I ask looking at the people sitting at the table.38

The owner of the voice, a girl with black hair and shocking green eyes looks at me, Taylor. 39

“I dare you to ask Emmett to the dance.” she says grinning evilly. 40

I shake my head no, “Why do people do that? Don’t they see it’s a lost cause?” 41

“You have to, I dared you.” she says smugly. I sigh, I’m not one to turn down a dare. God I hate her. I look at Emmett. Jenna, the most beautiful, popular girl in school walking away from him, looking defeated. 42

I sigh again and get up, making my way towards Emmett. I prepare myself for rejection from the most amazing guy in the world as I near him.43

I reach Emmett and try to keep myself melting into mush at the sight of him. 44

“Emmett?” I ask softly, using all my willpower to keep from stammering uncontrollably. 45

“Yes Laila?” he says cocking an eyebrow. God he’s sooo hot!46

“I-I-I was just w-wondering, if you could… i-if you would.” I take a deep breath trying to control my voice somewhat. “Ifyouwouldgotothedancewithme?” I ask so fast it’s one word. 47

I look down, bracing myself for his rejection.48

“Sure.” he says. 49

I look up, uncertain if I heard him right. “W-What?” I ask stammering.50

“Yes, I will go to the dance with you.” he says and I swear my heart stops. 51

“R-Really?” I ask stupidly. 52

He nods and I smile so big I swear it reaches my ears. 53

“I’ll talk to you later.” he says smiling. I nod and walk back to my seat, how I have no clue, my legs feel like mush.54

“Taking rejection surprisingly well I see.” Taylor sneers.55

I still can’t talk, all I do is shake my head no slowly.56

I hear Casey gasp beside me. “He… said yes?” she asks, sounding as shocked as I feel. “He NEVER says yes.” she whispers in disbelief.57

I nod yes to her question and she looks at me amazed. Taylor looks at me with a look of disbelief and disgust. “No way.” she whispers, almost to herself. 58

“OMG Laila!!!” Casey jumps in her seat. “I TOLD you!!!” she screams.59

I smile and turn to look back at Emmett to see him staring at me, grinning.60

--------------------------------61

10 days later…62

I hear a car pull into driveway and start to breath heavily. I listen as motor is shut off and I start to nearly hyperventilate. 63

“Calm down.” my mother whispers in my ear. I live alone with her and she is like my best friend, she tells me everything and I do the same.64

I nod and take a deep breath. Soon the doorbell rings and I go to let Emmett in. I open the door and my breathing stops altogether. I stare at his perfect face, down his perfect, ripped body. God he is GEORGEOUS!65

“H-hey Emmett.” I say.66

“Hello Laila, you look beautiful.” he says very gentlemanlike, making my already weak legs seem to turn into nothing.67

“T-thanks.” I say looking down at my simple, yet nice dress. “You look great yourself.” I tell him truthfully. He can wear rags and still look perfect.68

My mom walks in at that point, smiling. She isn’t like your normal, embarrassing mom.69

“Emmett, this is my mom, Jen.” I tell him. 70

“Nice to meet you.” he says to her. I could tell she is flustered by Emmett as well, everyone is. 71

“Same to you Emmett.” she says. She shakes her head then goes into ‘mom’ mode. 72

“No later than 2am okay missy?” she says. I nod, that is a simple enough rule. A lot looser than most people’s, she trusts me. 73

“Bye mom.” I say quickly, walking out the door. I look in the driveway to see Emmett’s jeep, the jeep every girl wants to ride in. The jeep I am going to ride in.74

“Shall we?” he asks. I nod and walk towards the jeep. I get in and don’t even bother with the straps. Emmett gets in the other side and looks at me. “Ready?” he asks.75

I nod sheepishly, I can’t believe I’m going to the dance with Emmett. We drive a few minutes and soon arrive at the school. We get out and walk into the gym after handing the secretary our tickets. I feel everyone’s eyes on us as we walk in. 76

I look around at the crepe papered gym. I can safely say it looks like every other High School dance.77

A slow song starts to play and Emmett turns to me. I blush and feel my heart beat faster. My thoughts race with millions of things that can go wrong. Emmett smiles and my head empties, thinking of him and only him. I place my hands on his shoulders, while his rest on my waist. Then, I dance with Emmett in utter bliss. 78

-----------------------------------------------79

Later that night…80

I look around the gym, nearly every gone. I sigh and lay my head against Emmett’s strong, cold, perfect chest. We’ve been dancing the entire time, and it never seems to get boring or old. 81

“Emmett.” I say looking up at him.82

“Yes?” he asks.83

“Why did you say yes?” I ask nervously. I know it’s stupid of me, but I’m dying to know.84

“Say yes to what?” he ask.85

“To go with me to the dance.”86

“Oh.” he says, “Well see there’s this girl.”87

I feel my heart break. There is a girl, and he’s using me to make her jealous. I fight back the tears that my mind wanted me to pour out. 88

“And,” he continues. “I’ve had my eyes on her for awhile.” he smirks.89

I look down, closing my eyes to keep tears from overflowing them. 90

“Oh,” I say, dropping my arms down from his shoulders. “I understand. You know, I’m not exactly a person that would make someone jealous.” I say trying not to show my sadness.91

He laughs, he actually laughs! Does my pain entertain him? 92

“Laila, that’s not it.” he says still laughing.93

I sniff. “Then what is?” I ask.94

“The girl, is you.” he says tilting my head up to look at him.95

“What?” I ask in disbelief. 96

“I’ve liked you for awhile.” he says laughing. Then after a moment he becomes sincere again. “Actually, I think I love you.” he says.97

The words hit me. Did he just say what I think he said?98

“You w-what?” I ask shocked.99

“I. Love. You.” he says word by word. 100

“I love you too.” I say wrapping my arms around his waist and laying my head against his chest. I know I mean every word too. 101

--------------------------------------------------102

3 months later103

104

Graduation. God I’m not ready for this. Well, yes I am. The sooner I graduate, the sooner I can be with my boyfriend, Emmett forever. And when I say forever, I mean it literally. Emmett told me he is a vampire two months ago. It shocked me, but I’ve accepted it. I hear my name called and I walk forward, grabbing my diploma. I flash a smile and the crowd as my mother’s camera flashes. I turn my tassel and walk off the stage. I find Emmett and embrace him in a hug, giving him a small kiss. 105

Soon there is a roar of cheering and hats fly into the air. I throw mine up excitedly. Soon I’m embraced with hugs from friends, and my mother. After much hugging, congratulating, and making future plans to see people, plans that will never be fulfilled, I finally make my way outside with Emmett holding my hand. 106

We walk to his jeep and get in. He kisses me deeply then drives away to take me to a fancy dinner we have planned. Even though he will not be eating it will be nice to have a fancy romantic dinner with him.107

--------------------------------------------108

I walk into the super fancy restaurant, Emmett’s hand around my waist. We are lead to our reserved table and sit down. I look up at Emmett, smiling. How could perfect Emmett possibly want me? He looks down, looking hurt.109

“Emmett, what’s wrong?” I ask.110

“You wouldn’t want to know.” he replies. “It will only hurt you.”111

“Emm-” I’m cut off by a waiter walking towards us. 112

“What can I get you two to drink?” he asks. 113

“Just water.” I say.114

“The same.” Emmett tells him.115

He nods and walks off.116

“Emmett.” I continue, “I want you to tell me. There is so much I don’t know about you.”117

He sighs. “You remind me of Rosalie.” he says.118

“Old girlfriend?” I ask.119

“Old wife.” 120

“Oh.” I say looking down. Why hadn’t I realized this? He is a vampire, they live forever of coarse he had lifetimes of old girlfriends, and apparently wives. 121

“What happened to her?” I ask, wanting to know more.122

“I left her. Her and my entire family. She followed me for a few years but gave up. I used to live with her and other vampires, my old family. I left her because she cheated on me, she was a self absorbed bitch.”123

“I’m sorry.” I say looking down at the table.124

“Hey.” he says softly, lifting my head with his chin. “Don’t be sorry. I’m over her, you are the only one I care about now. Okay?”125

I nod, he really is mine, he really loves me.126

------------------------------------------------127

1 week later….128

I walk along the deserted coast line, Emmett holding my hand. I stop and look out onto the water. The sun slowly slides down the horizon, shining on the rippling waves. 129

“It’s beautiful.” I whisper, turning to Emmett.130

“The only view I see is you and in that case, yes it is.” 131

I look into his honey eyes. He leans in towards me and our lips meet. His tongue licks my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I imminently give it and our tongues fight for dominance. He wins and his tongue feels every corner of my mouth as if memorizing it. 132

My arms snake around his neck and his make their way around my waist. 133

“Emmett.” I manage to gasp.134

“Hmm.” he mutters his lips trailing down my neck.135

“I love you.” 136

He kisses me and whispers in my ear, his breath tickling my skin “I love you.”137

Then, he bends down so he is one knee. My heart speeds up so fast I swear it could outrun a hummingbird’s. 138

“Laila Miller. I love you, I can’t live without you. You are my life and my love. Will you marry me?” he asks. 139

At that moment I swear my heart stops. “Yes.” I manage to whisper as he slides the most beautiful ring ever on my finger. 140

He kisses my finger, up to my hand, and up my arm, until his kisses reached my collarbone. From there he kisses my neck, and finally reaches my mouth. His tongue enters my mouth again and, as if they have a mind of their own, my hands reach to the bottom his of his shirt. I lift his shirt and break the kiss for the slightest second as I pull the shirt off him. I stare down at his beautifully muscled chest, marveling at how he is mine. 141

Our mouths join once again. He starts to trail kisses down my jaw to my neck. He finds my soft spot and I release a moan. I feel him smirk against my neck and he continues working on that spot, kissing and sucking on it. 142

“Emmett.” I moan.143

Suddenly, he pulls away. I look at him, my face showing my confusion and hurt. 144

“I’m sorry, Laila. I can’t, not while you’re human. I don’t want to hurt you.”145

“Then turn me.” I tell him automatically.146

“What?”147

“Turn me into a vampire Emmett.”148

He looks at me. “Are you sure?” he asks after a moment of silence, “It will hurt, are you sure you want that?”149

“Yes. I want to be with you forever, whatever the means.” 150

I look into his honey eyes, my own pleading. He walks towards me again and leans towards me. He kisses me deeply, then pulls back slightly. He moves his head down to my neck.151

“I love you.” he whispers before plunging his teeth into my skin, causing pain to sear through my body. 152

I scream and feel his mouth leave my neck. It feels as if fire sears through my neck to the rest of my body. I feel Emmett’s strong arms wrapped around me, my only comfort.153

---------------------------------------------154

I wake up to a new world.155

I look around. I’m on my bed in my room, at Emmett’s house. We moved in together shortly after graduation. I sit up and continue to look around, my eyesight amazingly perfect. No, more than perfect. My eyes continue to wander around the room until they stop at the most beautiful thing in the world, Emmett. 156

“Hello beautiful.” he says.157

I take the blankets off me and crawl over to him. I sit on his lap and he wraps his arms around me. I lean my head back to look up at him. I snake my now stone cold arms around his neck, lean up and kiss him deeply. 158

“I love you Emmett, forever.” I whisper to him.159

“I love you Laila, for eternity.” he says before kissing me deeply again. 160

We are together, forever, for eternity, for as long as we shall both exist and I can never be happier. 161
