By the next morning, everyone was back and worried about Alice. Rosalie ........... Well, she was furious. Bret had to convince her to stay with Alice. She wanted to go after Edward and tear his head off. She was surprised that I had done what I had, but she was glad that I did. Hope and Jasper were worried. Well, I could see Hope was extremely concerned. Jasper ........... It seemed, forced? He was with her for a very long time, he should be concerned.

We were laying on the bed that night, and I had my arm around her. Esme had given me something to eat, and after a bit more sleep, I felt OK. Woozy, but OK. I was more concerned about Alice. The cracks were slowly healing, but had left white scars along her cheek, neck and I'm pretty sure there were some on her chest.

"Bella."

I looked down at Alice, who seemed to have perked up a ting bit.

"What is it, pixie? Do you need anything?"

She smiled up at me, which was good to see.

"No, I'm OK. Relax, baby. No, I just wanted to talk about earlier, when you-"

"Alice, I was worried about you, and that couldn't wait. I was worried about you, pixie."

Alice smiled, listening to me. She kissed my shoulder, watching me.

"I know you were, I thought that it would have a bad effect on you, and I was afraid that I would hurt you."

I shook my head. Silly pixie.

"Silly pixie. You could never hurt me. I was just trying to make sure you were going to be OK. Going after Eddie was appealing, but you need me more."

"Yeah, I know you wanted to. I could hear it."

I blushed, thinking about that. I had forgotten about that, when I saw her.

"Oops."

She laughed, and shifted.

"You wanna sit up?"

She nodded, and we sat up. I made sure she was comfortable, and lay next to her.

"That's better."

We sat on the bed, talking, for a while and Alice said something about getting changed. She was doing better, but I was a little worried. She told me she was OK, and walked into the bathroom.

She walked out a few minutes later, and I could see that I had been right about the scars. I could see a few disappearing into her shirt. I grabbed my stuff, and got changed. I sat next to her, and looked at her.

"I was out, and saw him. He said something about you, and I ....... Well, I told him to leave you alone and that he needed to accept that we're together. He got angry, and next thing I know, I'm thrown into a tree. We fought for a while. I'm not sure, how he was able to get past me. But, Emmett found me, a few minutes later, and brought me back."

I was shaking by the time she was finished. She grabbed my hand, and started rubbing my back. Shouldn't this be the other way around?

"How could ........ You're his sister, Alice."

"I know, baby. But, something he said was a little odd."

"What-"

"No!"

Shouting cut me off, our door was open, so we could still hear what was going on in the rest of the house. Alice looked at me, confused. I stood up, that was Hope shouting. Was she arguing with someone?

Emmett ran by, and we followed him. Hope and Jasper were arguing.

"Jasper, what the Hell are you talking ............ You lied to me! I'm not your mate, am I?"

Bella? Is that you?Where stories live. Discover now
