"Well, that means that Edward can come home now," Rosalie said callously.
A slow warning hiss emanated from me.
Emmett stepped between us. "Rose, this isn't the best time for that."
"I'm sorry, but we haven't seen our brother in months. We've hardly spoken to him and now he can come home. Who is going to tell him?" Rosalie looked at each of us.
"We can't just call Edward up and give him the news, Rosalie. Think about what this will do to him." I was grateful for Jasper's calm logic.
"We have to go back," I said quietly, almost to myself. "If we leave now we can be back in Forks by tonight."
Everyone stopped their bickering and stared at me. Rosalie's eyes were wide with angry disbelief, Emmett looked back and forth between the two of us and Jasper just looked at me with swelling concern.
"Alice, we promised Edward we wouldn't interfere," Jasper reminded me as he twined his arms around me. He held me back from him to look into my eyes, "Remember the promise we made to Edward."
I glared at him incredulously, "You can't be serious! I'm fairly certain that Bella jumping to her death changes the rules here Jasper. Think about Charlie and what this is going to do to him. Especially since he has no idea how it came to this!" I shuddered at the thought. "Someone has to be there to comfort Charlie."
"Look, I'm heading back to Forks right now, regardless of whether or not any of you are coming with me." I looked at each of them.
Rosalie just shrugged and shook her head.
"Sorry Alice, I just don't think there's anything we can do at this point." Emmett's voice was quiet with sadness.
"Fine, Jasper?" I turned to my other half.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
I nodded once and took off running. Someone had to be there to pick up the pieces.
