Emmett Chapter 2
As you walk to your car, you kept getting the feeling somene was watching you. You go to shut your door when Emmett came on the passenger side and said "I thought you were going to give me a ride?!" laughing. You laugh a little bit. "I didnt know you meant today. Go ahead and get in." Emmett then gets in the your car and you pull out of the school parking lot. As you're driving up to your house Emmett asks "Where are we going?" you say "I'm just going to tell my mom that I'll be out until tonight with a guy I met at school." Emmett went from smiling to straight faced and said "Oh, if you.....have plans with someone, then you should just drop me off right here and I can walk home." Now you are the one thats laughing. "Emmett, you're the one I'm hanging out with, you goober." "OH!!! I thought you meant someone else." he says laughing again. you think to yourself "His laugh, his smile, HE makes me feel so warm inside." and at the same time he is thinking "There's just something about her that makes me want to be near her all the time. I have to be careful, I would hate myself if I hurt her in anyway." You decide to break the silence and ask "So where should we go?" Emmett replys "How about I take you there?" "What do you mean by that?" "I mean let me drive and take you there." "I don't know Emmett." you say questioning. "___, you can trust me." And you look into his eyes and believe his words and pull over. You both get out and He gets in the drivers seat. He starts driving and says "___, close your eyes" you do but you decide to peek for a sec. "NO PEEKING!! Promise?" he says laughing. "Promise." you say keeping it. Before you know it you are picking up speed and you finally come to a complete stop after a bumpy ride that seemed like it was taking forever. Emmett turns off you car and he says "Okay, you can open your eyes." You do and you see a beautiful field of flowers with a little gazebo in the middle of it. "Oh my gosh, Emmett! It's, really-" he cuts you off by saying "Beautiful, just like you" "Emmett, thank you, really (pause) this made my day." You say smiling. He smiles and says. "___, I'm the only one who knows about this place. I brought you here because I wanted you to see it." "I'm glad you did." You reply. He takes your hand and leads you to the gazebo. When you get closer to the gazebo, you notice there wasn't anything special about it. He pull you in the middle and says "I know its not much, but, I brought you here to tell you some things, some of which, you probably wont understand and want nothing more to do with me, and, some others, might make you feel different." He looks you in your eyes. "Emmett, nothing you tell me would make me feel any different about you, nor make me not want to be around you." you say back. "There is something you don't know about me, well....my family." "Tell me, I want to know, I want to understand." you beg. "___, my family and I, are...different, something not of this world." He looks you in the eyes. "Tell me." you want him to continue. "You probably won't believe me." you say questioning. "___, you can trust me." And you look into his eyes and believe his words and pull over. You both get out and He gets in the drivers seat. He starts driving and says "___, close your eyes" you do but you decide to peek for a sec. "NO PEEKING!! Promise?" he says laughing. "Promise." you say keeping it.

I thought I'd post this poem and try to get constructive feedback ;)

To Know Her
She is who I see and all that I see.
Every minute with her is a minute to know her.
What does she like? What makes her angry?
What makes her laugh like no other?
I watch her move and learn her moods.
Her needs, I read like a book unbound.
I study her eyes as they speak to me
When words aren’t enough, when they can’t be found.
Her joy is mine, her emotions move me.
To be what she wants is no arduous task.
To protect her and know her – that’s what I do
So I find it amusing when she would ask:
“How is it that you know me so well?
Sometimes it seems you can read my mind.”
“Nah,” I smile. “I just pay attention.”
I become what she wants and needs, by design.
