Chapter 2- There and Back again

"Bella! I can't take this anymore!" Alice shouted all of a sudden.

"Hmm?" I was dazed. I had blanked out again. That was pretty usual for me.

"Bella. I've been your best friend forever, and you keep saying, 'I'll get over it.' And it's been five years, but you still haven't! This is not a healthy behavior!" she continued. She was mad, but I knew it wasn't at me. It was at Edward. Even though she never met him, I had told her endless hours and hours of stories about him. She thought it was his fault that I was like this, but it wasn't. I was just a pathetic loser that couldn't get over him.

But I had to admit, she was right about both things. Alice had been my best friend since the beginning of 7th grade, when Edward left. She helped me act even human again. She had black spikey hair pointing in every direction, a pixie like face, and was tiny. No matter her size, she acted as a body guard for me. A lot of people had fun messing with me, and Alice scared them away. People learned you don't mess with a force like Alice. But I had no idea why she wanted to be my friend. I always sulked, spaced out, people thought I was emo, and on a rare occasion, I would smile and have fun. I'd become the living dead without Edward.

I sighed. "Alice, we've been over this."

"Damn right we have! And now it's time for new story. Not that damn Edward leaves and I'm sad for the rest of eternity one. Get your ass up and start moving! We are going to have fun, dammit!" She was stading up now, her face serious, fist held high in the air. I always thought Alice would make a good modivational speaker. Then again, Alice would pretty much make a good anything. She had so much talent, and could be anything she wanted.

I thought I might mention we were in the caffiteria at school, and we had 2 more hours before we could go anywhere. But if I did, Alice would start rambling about the injustice of school. I already heard that one too many times.

"It's okay Alice. I really am fine the way I am," I lied. I wasn't fine. The only thing that could fix me up, was Edward, like he use to. But he was gone, having fun in L.A. while I was here, depressed. It was pathetic.

"It's okay Bella. I can tell your lieing," she immatated my voice. She smirked, and I had to smile.

"Bella," Alice continued seriously, "Didn't you say you loved Edward?"

"Well, yes-"

"Why, dammit! God, look what he's done to you! And from what you told me, he didn't seem that sad to be leaving in the first place! How could you love a person like that? You were always better off without him. Can't you see that, Bella?" Her anger turned to sadness by the end. Oh, Alice.

A couple of people were giving us uneasy looks. Alice didn't seem to notice and stared at me for answers. I sighed. How could I explain it to her? In many ways, she was like Edward; brave, beautiful, smart, loving. The list went on and on. I closed my eyes and shook my head softly.

"You never saw him," I said so quietly it was almost a whisper. "He was always there. Always. And there was this look about him... Oh, Alice I can't explain it. He never lied, never cheated, never was mean. And when he smiled, you knew he was good. When he laughed, and you heard the sound, you knew that there couldn't be any wrong with him. When he hugged you, and you felt his cool arms, you never wanted to move. And he never messed up. Ever."

"Your wrong," Alice gave me a sad smile. "He did mess up. He made the biggest mistake anyone ever could. He let you go."

With that tears fell down my face. Alice put her arm around me and said, "Shh... It's okay. Everything's going to be okay."

But it wasn't. It would never be okay without him. I let the tears flow freely now, not caring. Most people had already left the caffiteria, so we didn't make a scene. With each silent tear that fell, I let the pain fall too. I couldn't stay like this. Alice was right about one thing. This wasn't healthy. And I was making Renee, Charlie, and Alice unhappy too. I was a selfish creature. I needed to make things right, or as right as they ever would be. I could do this. I would do this. I took a few deep breaths. I wiped the tears from my face and looked up at Alice, smiling, but it seemed a little forced.

"Your right, Alice. He... messed up. I'm ready to move on," I lied. I was always a bad lier, but Alice was so surprised she didn't notice. Her eyes eyes were wide, lips slightly opened, and body still.

"Are you sure Bella?" she asked, dumbfounded. I couldn't seem to read her tone.

I nodded. Alice's face lit up like a child's on christmas day, and I had to smile too.

"Oh, Bella, I'm so happy! And you are going to be too! I can see it!" She exclaimed. She was so happy, that I had to laugh. Alice was the world's best friend. She was happy when you were happy.

"Um, Alice?" I said uneasy.

"Yes?" she looked a little scared. Did she think I was going to be sad so soon? No, I wouldn't be selfish.

"I think I'd be a lot happier if we weren't late for class." I laughed.

Alice looked confused. She looked around the room and jumped in surprise. Just like Alice to forget that the rest of the world still moving even if she wasn't.

"Oh! Yeah, c'mon let's go!" She pulled my arm and we headed off to our next class, laughing all the way.

(A/N) Okay, so I only got 2 reviews, so I'm not sure that this story will make much progress, and that's why this is so short. If I get 5 reviews, then I'll know that I can continue this story, and people will read. I'm so very sorry to the people who read this, but I don't want to write long long chapters that no one will read. If I don't get that many reviews, then I'll still continue this story, but with shorter chapters. (Not as short as this) I'm an author who will always finish my work, even if it takes a long time. R&R!
