"Yeah, I...I think I've had enough breakin' down for a season. Maybe later." Emmett laughed but it was hollow, free of any real joy. He felt like there was a timer on his grief, an unknown amount of time he was allowed to be upset before everyone was sick of it. He had to just bury himself for the sake of the future, for the sake of everyone else.
Phoebe insisted again that it wasn't this easy, that they had difficult things ahead of them, that he'd called her too much. Honestly Emmett did not remember a lot of that time, the period where he had told Phoebe to leave. He didn't remember saying it, but wouldn't deny it. He knew he'd been in some dark places and had probably lashed out more than he'd meant to.
"Bee, I...I've never felt the same way about no one as I feel about you. Why wouldn't I wanna be with ya?You're nice and y'work hard and you're real pretty too." Emmett smiled shyly and with that said, went to kiss her lightly with his hand coming to curl around hers.
Emmett
It burns too bright
I think about my self a lot 'cause it's the only one I've got
I've earned this life
What have I done to earn this life?
