Character Intro - Emmett












*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had everything a guy could want. I had a beautiful wife, great friends and family and a fulfilling career. What more could a guy ask for?

Growing up in a privileged world, I wasn’t oblivious to the fact that I had it good. As an only child, I was granted pretty much anything I wanted. I had a loving father that wanted to give me everything that he never had and a doting mother, while overbearing at times, that only wanted to make me happy. The only decisions I ever had to make was what car to get for my sixteenth birthday and what college to go play football at.

A career killing knee injury in college destroyed my football future. What I decided to do instead of play ball seemed fun and harmless at first. I had no idea that the simple decision would be affecting me to this day.

It started off innocently enough, just a little something for me and my future wife to do for fun one night, but after that night I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Thinking about it only turned into wanting it, which then turned into obsessing about it.

I didn’t think it would hurt to do it once more. I just needed to get it out of my system and then I would get back to my life.

It didn’t work out that way. At all.

The obsession only grew and now I was keeping this horrible secret from my wife. I was cloaked in deception and guilt, but no matter how awful I felt, I couldn’t stop. Sneaking around and lying was wearing me down physically and mentally. My marriage, which was filled with love, was in a fragile state. I couldn’t add anything else to that by confessing what I had been doing all these years.

If this dirty secret of mine was ever uncovered, I would lose everything. I would lose my wife, family, career and any part of my dignity that was left.

I was just thankful that my friends and family living in The Hills of Twilight didn’t have clue. I could lie my head down at night with the slight comfort that my secret was safe.

At least for now.

Hmmmm.... my first thought is that they tried swinging..... and he's still caught up in that, but technically not swinging anymore, but just cheating.

swing, batter batter, swing

i could totally see him doing the swinging thing

My first thought was swinging as well. But what if it wasn't with another woman that he was continuing but with another guy?

Dirty little secrets are becoming my favorite kind.

So they tried swinging, but now he is just cheating...

Pretty similar to Rosalie, so the question is are they married and cheating on each other or are they having an affair with each other...hmm, I think I'm more interested in their secret than anyone else so far.

My guess is one of two things: 1) he has a hard-core drug problem like cocaine or heroine. OR 2)him and his wife tried role playing and he liked it so much he can't live without it. I'm thinking rolse playing where she was a cheerleader or something and now as the high school football coach he has access to cheerleaders and he's doing things he shouldn't be doing with them.

Melissa's assumptions seem logical. Maybe he turned bisexual.

1. swinging
2. drugs
3. underage girls

Hmm, so Emmett and Rosalie both went to Northwestern. And Rosalie said she met her husband in college. I'm going to guess they're married.

I am thinking it has something to do with drugs possibly. I don't really know and I really hate to assume things because I have a feeling once this story starts we are all pretty much going to be blown away with it.

Is he a cross dresser? Does he wear women's clothes and dance on a stage singing Celine Dion songs? Is he a closet stripper? See where my mind always goes? I blame it on Bri and Mel.

Secrets are never safe, and boy am I dying to know Em's secret. At first I thought it had something to do with BDSM...since he mentions how he tried it with his wife at first. Then I thought, maybe it's just swinging. Then, maybe drugs? I'm at a loss. I'll wait for it all to be revealed in the story though.

Can I just say right now how I love this idea of having this secret notebook to go along with the fic? It's so different from what we're used to with a story. Usually you just wait for an update and that's it. I have a feeling this will make things a lot more interesting.
