Chapter 9

A New Beginning

"Edward Cullen," began Alice, as she stormed into the room he was sitting it. "A little birdy told me you've got a fling for some little chick. What's the deal?" She stood her ground right in front of him, not a single hair even wavering from a gush of wind.

"Who told you that?" he asked sharply, his head jerking up, but the rest of his stone body not moving.

"I told you already; I heard." Alice wasn't going to say anything about overhearing Jacob disclosing his secret conversation with Edward to Bella. 

"You're insane," he said as he briskly stood up, trying to push Alice aside by the shoulder. All that moved were her fleeting red eyes.

"Do not ever call me that Edward Cullen. You know that."

He tried to continue walking but she put out an arm and he froze.

Edward gritted his teeth and snarled at Alice, "that's why I said it."

He left the room, Alice motionless. She mumbled under her breath, "why is he so difficult when girls are involved? He could just tell me things like this before he tries to act on them. Like kidnapping a human girl who smells good and turning her into a vampire; the kid created a supernatural barrier just because of some crush. He's killin' me." 

So Edward had a new girl or was he just keeping secrets about plans for Bella? Alice wasn't sure anymore. She just knew that she had to remove Bella from the situation.

.*.*.*.*.*.*.

"Bella, really, what if we got out of here? We could move to somewhere like New England? I hear Maine is pretty cold and wet. Little sun, except the summer but we could say we go to a summer home and nobody would see us then. You could go back to school, starting as a freshman again!" Alice was going on about another one of her ideas again. Every other day she would talk about a new state she'd found on the internet; a great school system in a tiny little town, lots of rain, little to no sunshine... it went on.

"Alice," started Bella, "I'm happy her, really."

"You don't do anything though," said Alice, placing emphasis on the "do."

Bella twirled a strand of hair around her fingers, intricately looking at it as she slowly read the book in her other hand. "I'm fine with that. I like hanging out with Jacob."

"Just me, you, Jacob, and Jasper could go. It would be like a little bonding excursion. Four years in a foreign area, camping and shopping and shopping and whatnot. A short vacation!" Alice shifted towards the back of the couch for more comfort.

"Woah, what happened to the rest of the family?" asked Bella, looking up from her novel for the first time.

"Nothing, four years is shorter than you think, you know when you've been living for a century it really is just a vacation..." Alice looked off into the distance through the window.

"Alice. No. I really do like it here." Bella frowned as she went back to her reading.

"Fine, but you're missing out!" chimed Alice. "Maybe me and Jasper will go on our own to Maine."

"Nonsense, I'd miss you too much-" Bella went to keep talking but her ears picked up on a distant conversation outside the house. So did Alice's "Is that Edward talking to Jacob again?" asked Bella.

"Shhh."

"I need your help," said Edward. "I don't know what else to do and I don't know who else I would turn to."

"Why would I help you after what you've done to me? To my girl?" pushed Jacob.

"It will right the wrongs."

Author's Note: So this happened. 

My senior year is almost over. My last competitive season ended. I have nothing to do anymore. So I've come back to my old stomping grounds. I finally have free time!

I have decided to call this a short story and will finish it up in the next few weeks since it has been so splotchy with uploads over the years. I will start the new book in the series after this and I got a fantastic idea. (hint: moving??)

Dedicating this to my teacher of my writing class because he managed to kill my two year writer's block. What a man.

Really let me know what you think. (comment? xxx) Get the word out I'm writing again. I used to be kind of a big deal (anchorman reference???)

My five year anniversary of being on wattpad happens this week!
