A/N: Thank you, thank you, thank you for your reviews! There have been some great suggestions to where some of you want to see the story go. I can't promise that ALL of them will be in there because I have a slight idea where I want to take the story, but there could be something I hadn't thought of.
I don't own Twilight, I just like to write and borrow the characters from time to time!
You know what. If we're too late for Edward, I'm going to do my damnedest to get you back to Charlie, and I don't want any trouble from you. Do you understand that?

I'm glad we weren't too late to save my beyond stubborn brother; I don't know how we could have explained this to Charlie. Well, you see Charlie: I'm actually psychic and I had a vision that Bella jumped off a cliff, so Edward basically asked this mafia family to kill him. Crazy stuff, huh? Not only would he have kept Bella away from us forever, he may have tried to leave Forks and make sure that I was locked up in a mental asylum again.
"Alice, please say or think something," Edward pleaded. "This radio silence is killing me!"
"Oh sure, when I actually try to shut up for once, you want me to talk." I responded.
Edward had a downcast look on his face. "Actually, I couldn't hear you in the airport either," he admitted sadly.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"I mean, your thoughts were jumbled and I couldn't make sense of them; also I was so far away from the two of you, I couldn't hear your conversation," Edward responded.
"Now the thoughts I believe you on, but not hearing our actual conversation?" I questioned my brother with a raised eyebrow.
"Alright, I was trying to give you two a chance to catch up because of my decision, you didn't get to see your best friend," Edward explained. "It wasn't until Bella saying she was helping to decide what the smart thing to do is that I truly tuned in."
"How badly did I mess this up, Alice?" my brother asked me. I tried to focus, I really did, but Bella was angry; anger tends to make you irrational or sometimes more rational.
"Her decisions keep changing," I answered honestly. "There are some visions, I see the two of you happy as if nothing happened. Other visions, she keeps her distance from us."
"You're right, Alice; I royally fucked up," Edward laughed without humor.
"You have to give her time, Edward. She's hurting, you can't just expect her to be okay just because she came with me to help," I said, trying to reason with my brother.
At that point, Bella started to stir. She would wake up in exactly 34 seconds. Edward realized this too and got ready to speak to her when he noticed me shaking my head.
"She's still not ready to talk to you just yet, Edward," I told him. He turned to the window and stayed silent. Bella blinked a few times, trying to focus her eyes after so long. I waited until she took out her ear plugs before I spoke to her.
"Morning, sleepyhead," I said softly.
"Hi Alice," Bella said softly. "How much longer until we land in Atlanta?"
"About 43 minutes and 27 seconds from now," I answered. She nodded in understanding and signaled the flight attendant.
"Is there anything I can do for you sweetie?" she asked kindly.
"Do you have any orange juice or water?" Bella asked her.
"We have both. Which would you like?" the flight attendant asked.
"Orange juice, please," Bella responded. "I'm feeling a bit airsick, I think."
"Are you sure you're okay to fly some more, Bella?" I asked. "We can always drive the rest of the way back instead."
"That may be a good idea," Bella mused quietly. "It'll give me the chance to stretch my legs when I need to."
I closed my eyes for a moment to see just how long it would take us to get back to Forks. "It should take us a little less than 3 days to get back to Forks," I told her and Edward. "We stop a few times for you to eat something and so you can rest."
"I brought you some toast from the galley to help settle your stomach as well," the flight attendant said to Bella. "Is there anything else you need, dear?"
"No this is plenty, thank you," Bella responded with a slight smile.
"Let me know if you need anything else. Anything for the two of you?" She asked Edward and I.
"No, thank you," Edward responded lowly.
"We'll be fine, thank you," I responded with a smile.
The flight attendant smiled back and moved on to the remaining passengers in first class as the pilot informed us of our descent into Atlanta within the next 20 minutes.
I sat back in my seat and took a deep breath that I didn't really need. I really hope we will be fineā¦
Oh, Alice... I hate to put you through this :(
It's your stupid brother's fault! I kid, I kid... but really...
P.S delany1678: I saw what you meant about the convo between the girls in ch. 1. Hope this took care of it a little ;)
Please leave me a review! Hope to have another chapter out before the weekend is over.
