Precious

Chapter 2

It had been a week. No sign of him anywhere. Edward didn't even seem to care. Whenever I tried to convince him to read his mind and find out where he was, he'd just shrug and say "It's for the best, maybe" and try to kiss me. I always avoided it. I haven't kissed him since I saved him from the Voltouri. The eagerness to kiss him, I used to face daily, evaporated along with the love I used to feel toward him.

It was nearing the end of March. I had just woken up. 6:52. I got up and got ready for school and as usual Edward was here to drive me. When I walked outside I completely ignored him and got into my own truck. I turned to see what Edward was doing, but him and his silver Volvo was gone. I turned back around and noticed someone in my front seat.

"God, Alice. Was that really necessary?" I gasped as I saw her.

"I should be asking you the same question!" She lightly punched my arm.

"Wha- What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, questionably.

"You know exactly what it means, Bella! What's going on lately? You have been completely ignoring Edward and the rest of us. I mean I know your upset about that mutt but-"

"That mutt happens to be one of my best friends and I would do anything for him! What if he is hurt or dead! Edwards not even trying to help find him! I just…I don't know" I felt tears sting my eyes.

"Aww, sweetie. I am sorry. I didn't know you felt that way. You have been ignoring everyone lately." She paused and took my face in her hands and gently wiped away the tears, "You have to give us a sign. We are vampires not psychics…Well one of us is but, he can't read your mind."

That made me laugh, Alice always knew how to cheer me up. I stopped crying and turned on the engine of my truck. Alice reached over and shut it off.

"Let's skip today. Go shopping or something. To clear your mind." I turned and she smiled, "In my car of course, We don't want people to see us in," she moved her hands in a circle, "this."

"Hey, no, don't hate the truck." I said.

Alice and I laughed as we got out and headed towards her very flashy car.
