A Sweet Destiny

Alice's Point Of View

I live with my father and my two brothers Emmett and Edward, our mother had passed away a few years ago from the Spanish influenza which we were lucky enough not to catch.

We live in a small town, earning our living off the farm.

We normally keep to ourselves but there was only one exception, the Swan family.

Charlie and Renee lived a fair while down the road but where the closest house to ours, they had three children; Rosalie, Bella and Jasper.

Ever since the day that they arrived I had always adored Jasper, he had the cutest smile and he was always so kind to me, I have my heart set on him.

Edward has always had a thing for little Bella since the day he saw her, they always were down by the river together, just enjoying each other's company or running around on the open fields of our farm. I had tried time and time again to convince Bella to tell Edward she liked him since we were seven but she would always blush and say that he didn't fancy her.

I hadn't spoken to Edward about it much but I plan too, there is a dance coming up and with all us being teenagers we could surely admit to each other how we feel.

Bella and I are turning seventeen. Jasper, Edward, Emmett and Rosalie are all turning eighteen.

It was time Edward grew some confidence and asked Bella out.

Rosalie and Emmett well I needn't worry about those two. Rosalie has over confidence issues, she blurted out she loved Emmett when we were ten and they had been together ever since. There was only one year they had a break because Rosalie was going through what me and Bella called "a bitchy stage" and Emmett wouldn't stand for her being mean to us.

We all went to school together, Bella and I were stuck together like glue, best friends forever.

Every Sunday we have a get together in the fields by the river and have dinner together, family time.

This is when I want to get Edward to ask Bella, I think I'll take Edward on a trip to the flower shop tomorrow afternoon and give him some ideas.

What girl doesn't love flowers?

Then I just have to figure out how to tell Jasper how I feel.
