I had just finished telling Emmett everything. How I was bullied for being gay, how I didn't say my first words until I was six; everything.

Emmett listened to every single word I said, taking it all in.

When I had finished, a small smirk formed on Emmett's lips, making me furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "Why are you smirking?"

"I've never heard you talk so much," Emmett said. "I like it. You should do it more."

I gave the boy a half-smile. "I guess."

"So, your family supports you?" Emmett suddenly asked, changing the subject.

I nodded. "Yeah. Especially my mom."

Emmett didn't say anything.

"I have a question," I asked. "I've been meaning to ask this for a while now, I just haven't built up the courage to do it though."

"You can ask anything," Emmett said.

"Are you and Rosalie together?" I asked.

Emmett chuckled to himself. "No, we're not."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Everyone says you are."

Emmett pursed his lips. "I know but we're not."

I shook my head. "Then why do you act like it but still talk to me?"

Emmett sighed. "Have you ever heard of a soulmate?"

"Well, that depends. Does it have to do with vampires?" I asked.

Emmett nodded. "Yes."

"Then no," I said. "Tell me."

"Well, a soulmate is like a vampire's other half; quite literally. You'll often hear them by a different name; a bloodsinger. Our bloodsinger is the one person we can't control ourselves with. They're blood...sings to us and it's difficult to stay away."

I listened to Emmett, taking in every word he said.

"When a vampire meets their soulmate, they feel complete, like they found the missing piece to a puzzle. They never want to hurt them. They want to be with them forever."

After Emmett had finished, I sat there, thinking. "So...am I your bloodsinger?"

Emmett nodded, causing me to blush slightly.

I pursed my lips. "And Bella is Edward's?"

Emmett nodded once again.

"Wow..."

"I was only with Rosalie because she saved me," Emmett said. "I was the only one who hadn't found my other half, besides Edward, until now. I can't stay away from you."

I smiled a little and blushed. "Wow. Do I really have that much of an effect on you?"

"Yes, you do."

This is probably the most information I've ever gotten in the span of like an hour.

***

The next morning, I lay in bed, not wanting to move. I had spent the whole day with Emmett. We learned a lot about each other.

And...I think I might be falling in love with him.

There are three things I'm absolutely sure of. First, Emmett was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him, and I don't know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
