New Moon (my version)
I was having the dream again. Or nightmare is a better word. In my head I kept seeing Edward walking away from me.
Forever. He was gone and not coming back. Just then, I heard a creaking noise as my bedroom window was being shoved open. I sat up in alarm. Could it possibly be Victoria? Has she come to kill me?, I thought. I gasped in shock at who I saw coming through the window.
Alice. Alice was sitting on the end of my bed. Her face was contorted with pain. "Bella…" Alice said. I couldn't stand the look on her face. "What is it Alice?" I asked with sincere concern. It hurt me to see her like this.
"Bella," Alice started again. "I just couldn't stay away from you like he told us to." Alice said this, and her voice sounded like she was about to cry. I threw my arms around her shoulders to comfort her.
"Alice, it's okay!" I soothed her as she cried tearless sobs onto my shoulder. Then it finally hit me. Alice, my sister and best friend was here. I started crying with her. I had missed her so much!
"Alice," I spoke again after a few more seconds of crying. "Alice, I missed you very much!"
"Oh Bella, I missed you very much too!" Alice said. "Bella, I have to talk to you." Alice said carefully.
"What do you want to talk about Alice?" I asked, just as careful.
"Bella, do you even know what leaving you has done to Edward?" Alice asked suddenly.
WHAT??!! I thought angrily. He left me! He said he didn't love me anymore.
"It has done nothing to him, Alice." I whispered harshly." He doesn't love me anymore. He left to follow his distractions." I said that last sentence with venom. Even though I put on an angry façade, whispering those words seemed to make it final. I fought the tears that threatened to expose me.
"Bella," Alice choked out in shock," How can you say that?"
I finally broke down, and tears streamed down my face. Instead of feeling betrayed by the tears, I welcomed them.
"That's what he said before he left." I stuttered through my sobbing.
Alice pulled me into a tighter hug.
"You actually believed those lies?" Alice asked incredulously." So easily?"
"His eyes…they seemed so distant. Plus, I had always had a hard time believing that he loved me. I thought he would get bored with me sooner or later. "As I said this, the pain seemed to be too much. I hunched over in sudden, crushing grief. I missed Edward. I needed him. He was my other half.
"Bella are you okay?" Alice asked me anxiously.
I had always hated showing weakness, but I had to tell the truth.
"No Alice…I am not okay. I miss him. I can't live without Edward. The pain in my heart makes it hard to breathe at times." I whispered. Maybe she could talk to him, I thought with slight hope.
"I know Bella, trust me I know." Alice soothed me.
"You can talk to him thought, right? Make him see that what he has done is wrong. Bring Him back to me." I said in an agonized voice.
Alice shocked me by smiling widely. Then she spoke the words that made my heart soar.
"Bella, if I didn't have a plan, I wouldn't have come." Her voice rang with determination and hope.
"Thanks Alice." I said in the same tone. Then I was instantly nervous. "Do you think it will work?"
"I'm sorry I can't see that yet. As soon as we set our plan in motion, I think I can find out." Alice said apologetically.
"Your plan doesn't involve stealing fast cars does it?" I asked humorlessly.
"I wish," Alice said dreamily.
I yawned and looked at the clock. It was 2:37 a.m. As much as I hated going to bed, I was fighting and losing to keep my eyelids open.
"Sleep Bella." Alice coaxed.
"I want to, but I'm afraid that when I wake up, you will be gone."
"Bella," Alice said with fake sternness. "That is ridiculous. Besides I need a shopping partner for tomorrow."
I couldn't refrain from grimacing. Alice Laughed and smiled.
"I won't complain, because I missed you a lot. I am just glad you came back." I said.
"As am I Bella." Alice chimed.
I layed down and Alice curled up beside me. The last thing I heard was Alice humming to herself. It was a tune that I had learned to love. My lullaby.
