Desperation Becomes Known In Loneliness
Somewhere in South America: E POV
I sat in an empty cave on some cliff overlooking the ocean.
Sighing, I thought of my Bella. How she would blush crimsom. How the sun lit up her skin. How her hair flew around her face when we drove with the windows down in my-
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud chirping noise coming from my back pocket.
Alice.
She of all people knew better than to call me unless it was an emergency.
I opened my cell phone and pressed the talk button.
"Edward", she said trying to sound happy.
"Alice, what's wrong?" , I asked.
"I had a vision."
"Of ?"
"Bella" , she breathed.
"What happened ?", I asked, already thinking of terrible things flashing through my head.
" I'm not telling you", came Alice's quiet voice.
" What do you mean 'you're not telling me'?"
"I'm not", she paused then added with an edge of steal in her voice, "If you want her to be safe than you come home. I'm not telling you over the phone."
And with that she hung up on him.
I shoved my phone into my back pocket. I had no other options. I had to get home.
Standing, I raced out of the cave and turned north. I was headed for Denali.
Alice's POV:
"Alice, calm down. Your causing me to be figdting now", came Jaspers' melodic voice.
" Sorry, I just wish he would hurry" she apologized.
Sighing, she stepped away from the window and sat opposite of Jasper.
She hadn't told anyone about he vision except Jasper and was very agitated. Edward needed to be here. If he hadn't left Bella this wouldn't be happening. If he hadn't been so stupid we would all be on that house by the river, looking after that clumsy but beautiful girl whom we loved so much. If-
"Alice!" Jasper groaned, "I'm trying to read!"
"Sorry, sorry. I think I'm just going to go on a run." She said quickly, getting up quickly and making my way toward the door.
"Are you sure you have time?" he responded.
She closed her eyes and scanned the near future.
"Yes," she said positive, "he won't be here for another twenty minutes.
Then she stepped outside, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and took off into the surrounding forest. Leaves barely rustling with her passage. Light steps that didn't make a sound.
Running always cleared her mind. The rhythmic movements of her legs causing her to sigh blissfully.
She stopped to lie on a rock untouched by the shadows. She sprawled across it, relishing in the warmth of it.
Her mind begin to drift through time. A happier time, when they all stayed in that rainy little town.
The images flashed through her head in a timeline.
Meeting Bella in the cafeteria.
Bella coming over for the first time to their house.
Them playing baseball.
Bella, as she cried on her shirt in the of the Mercedes. Her face flushed, hair messy.
Then her crippled form in the ballet studio. When they were almost too late.
Next, that fateful night of her birthday.
Lastly, the look on Edwards face. That blank sadness. So much hurt in that look. Never in all her years had she seen so strong a bond than this. Never I all her years had she seen such stupidity from anyone like-
"Alice" said a calm voice from beside a tree.
"Edward" she cried as she flung herself into his open arms. How much had he 'heard?' How long had he been there?
"Long enough" he answered her unspoken question.
"So whats this about a vision?" he asked.
"Not here. When we get home." She cried from half a mile ahead, trying to get a headstart back.
