This chapter's a little short because I only got 1 review and it seems a little pointless to carry on if no one's reading.

So pllleeeeeeaaaaaassseeeee if you like it and want me to carry on then review.

Thank you and enjoy.

All 8 golden eyes were staring at me whilst I entered our house. Jasper looked worried and if I wasn't mistaken a little annoyed, Edward looked understanding, Bella, Renesmee, Esme and Carlise looked concerned, for some reason Emmett looked amused and excited but well, that's just Emmett and Rosalie was expressionless, as always.

'Sorry, Edward told you while I had to run out quick, right?' I said, staring at Edward trying to give him some kind of look which he would understand as a sign as to what my excuse was. Obviously he realized as he then said, 'Yes, I did. I told them exactly what you told me to tell them. That there was a sale at some shop down town and you wanted to go before it closed.'

'Yeah,' I nodded, wondering why, even with that pretty good excuse, they all still looked so worried.

'If you went shopping why haven't you got any bags?' Emmett asked, probably just to add a little drama into our pretty boring lives. I looked down at my empty pale hands.

'I got there and realized I never had my purse. I really can't believe I forgot. They had the most amazing things, I feel gutted. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go again tomorrow.' I fake laughed, shrugged and started moving towards the stairs, to get to my room. I really just needed to be alone for a while. Of course, I didn't feel tired because that would be impossible but I did feel exhausted.

'Alice, we're just worried about you.' Esme said.

Bella added, 'You haven't been the same the last couple months. You can tell us anything. We might be able to help. Is it about your human life again?'

I was beginning to get a little angry. Couldn't they get the message; I don't want to talk about it. But I also knew that if one of them was acting weird I would want to know too so I couldn't blame them. I sucked in some air then blew it out.

'No, it's not. And I highly doubt you can help me. Just leave it. I'll be fine. Thank you.' They gave each other un-sure looks, 'really, I'm okay.' I reassured them.

'Please, Alice. Just tell us.' This time it was Carlisle that spoke. After everything Carlisle and Esme had done for me, I couldn't bare to just be cold towards them and walk away. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have a home. I would be like every other vampire; red-eyed. I wouldn't have a family that loved me enough to notice when I was acting normal. But I also knew that telling them the truth was out of the question and before I could stop myself I was telling them, 'Well, lately, my visions have been all wrong. I would see something and the opposite would happen and normally they would be about something so small like driving to school or hunting. And that's when I actually get visions; I haven't got any in ages. I think there is something wrong with them or maybe there just fading away, is that possible?' I immediately felt guilty for lying to the people closest to me but they really didn't leave me any other choice.

'Alice, you should have told us. We're sorry we wouldn't just leave it but it's because we care and love you, you know that, right?' Esme said, walking over and giving me a hug. Oh, no. This made me feel even worse. I shouldn't have lied to them. I should have just… arh… I don't know. Crap.

'Yeah, I do. And I love you all too. I just want to be on my own for a while is that okay?' They all gave a sympathetic nod and smile; well everyone besides Edward. He just stood there with his arms crossed, angrily. I didn't think it was possible but now I felt even worse. I mouthed the word 'Sorry' but he just shook his head and turned around. Obviously he wasn't too happy about what I had just done. Hell, neither was I.

I was in my room within seconds, smashed the door closed, then crumpled to the floor and wept. No tears were realised from my eyes but cries escaped through my lips. I clamped both my hands over mouth, pressing hard, to make sure no one heard. I lay on the floor, leaning against the closed door, with my eyes shut. A tight knot was pulling inside my chest. And I just sat there for ages; hours.

When I finally felt able to stably get up, I did. The knot inside my chest was still there but now it wasn't pulling as much. I looked across the room at the huge circle, gold clock that hang on the wall behind a wooden chest of draws. It was just after seven o'clock in the morning. We would have to leave for school very soon which meant facing Ethan again but for once I never dreaded that. What I dreaded more was having to face my family after I'd lied to them.

It was just then when a light tap knocked the door. I ran over to the mirror and gave myself a good look. Two beady eyes, dark but not yet black, were staring back at me. My face was paler then usual and my lips were frowning. The face glazing at me through the mirror was most certainly not me. Well she didn't look like me but she sure was. She was a familiar stranger. 'Come in.' I said, barely above a whisper and turned to look at Jasper, my husband who I do love so much, entering my room and carefully walking towards me, like I might lash out and hit him or something.

'We're going now? Are you ready?' He asked slowly, probably to sound sympathetic and understanding but to me it just sounded patronizing. I felt my hands clench into fists and my body tensing. Wow, what is wrong with me? I just sighed heavily; crossing my hands over my chest.

'Yeah,' I simply answered, not sure if I could trust myself to say anymore. The last thing I wanted was to upset Jasper, or any member of my family for that matter.

'Are you okay? We're all worried about you. I was going to come up earlier but we thought maybe you needed some time to yourself so we all went for a walk in the forest.'

That's good. It meant none of them heard me crying- well they probably heard some but not all.

'Oh, that's fine and please don't worry about me. Did you have fun?' I asked, purposely avoided his first question.

'I guess so. We just missed. Are you sure your-' I interrupted him before he could even finish his sentence, saying 'Let's go. We don't want to be late.' I practically pushed him out of the door but it definitely stopped him from asking that question once again.

He took my hand and for a moment I almost flinched away. Why would I do that, his my husband? And I really love my husband, I do. I've been saying that a lot lately but with all this going on with Ethan I kind of feel the need for the reassurance.

Hand-in-hand, we walked at a slow human pace down the stairs. All eyes, once again, rested on my face. Concern, fear and sympathy spread across there faces. I mentally shrugged it off and smiled, 'Morning. Are you all ready? It's time to go.'

They all exchanged puzzled looks then once again turned back to stare at me. 'Err, yeah. Let's go.' said Bella.
