"Edward. You are a complete imbecile," I grounded out.
We just arrived from the airport two days ago and started settling in. When I Saw Edward tracking Victoria, I confronted him about it. I dragged him out to the garden so that no one could hear us.
"Thank you for sharing Alice. You didn't have to tell me out loud." He wearily answered. "It's not like your mind hasn't been sharing that bit of information plenty of times already."
"Yes, but I was afraid you had forgotten since the last time I reminded you." Two minutes ago…not out loud, mind you..
I heard him sigh again and I narrowed my eyes.
I can not believe the complete…stupidness of what he was doing! He is such an idiot. Ooh! I'm so mad, I can barely see straight. Where is Jasper when you need him? He always knows what to do when I'm this mad…
"Alice. This is my relationship and my choice. What I choose to do with Bella is none of your concern."
"Yes! It IS. I'm worried about both of you. Don't you understand? You have not Seen what I have Seen Edward. She isn't going to-"
"Stop!" he interrupted me. Yet again. We have had this particular conversation for quite some time… "I told you already. Stop looking into her future. I already told her we weren't going to ruin her life anymore by being in it. That includes looking into her future. You have to hold up your end of the bargain too."
"I'm sorry," I huffed. "I wasn't invited to the conversation between you and Bella, so I didn't get my say into the matter."
"You know what I mean…" he sighed.
Suddenly, my mind rapidly showed me pictures of Bella. Bella talking. Bella crying. Bella-
"Alice!" Edward growled loudly, shaking my shoulder. He noticed my eyes were glazed over. The mind reading helped, too I suppose. "I told you to stop watching her!"
"Well I'm sorry Edward" I said slowly, "I can't control what I See sometimes. These things just happen." Good Lord, his power gets very exasperating at times. I sometimes wonder what other people think of my own gift. Hmmph. They just don't understand…if only- What is that annoying buzz? Oh.
"-because we are ruining her life Alice," he continued telling me. "Because of us, Bella's life was interrupted. If we leave, she can have a fresh start again. She'll be able to have a normal, happy life without any monsters to bother her." I noticed he said life quite a few times in his little speech.
I caught a glimpse of his eyes before he turned them down. My face fell. They were sad again. This has been happening more often ever since we left Forks. That's a sign if I've seen anything, I mused. I would know.
"Do you really think you were destroying her life, as you so aptly stated?" I wondered. "I may be mistaken, but you two seemed to have a different relationship than that."
"I love her."
"Then why did you say those things to her? Why did you leave her?" I demanded.
"I left her," he paused for a second to look up at me, "Because I love her." He quietly walked away.
Oh Edward. You are so absurd.
