Alright, I'm still working on the longer chapter, I've just been pressed for time lately,
so I figure getting a shorter one up is better than making you wait a week for a long one.
Carry on!
.....................................................................................................................................Bella POV............................................................................................................
As I walk through the living room (A place I never thought I'd see again) I gain a familiar sense of comfortable. One that I've missed a lot since they've been gone.
Subconciously, I let out a sigh of relief and turn to Alice smiling.
"Come on, we'll stay in my room. It's got a T.V. so we can watch movies and stuff. And don't worry, I have clothes here for you. I won't make you wear that horrible looking stuff you brought.." Alice told me with a smirk.
"Hey! My style isn't bad..it's just mine." I pout.
"Whatever you say Bells." She replies before skipping off. The way she moves is so enchanting, I always find myself captured in watching her wondering what she'll do next.
Alice sees I'm watching her, and smiles widely at me, with this knowing look on her face. I involuntarily blush and turn away so I look like I'm fumbling with my backpack.
Then I quickly make my way to the stairs and dash up towards Alice's room. This blushing was not doing me justice.
I throw my bag on the floor and fling myself onto Alice's unused bed. It's so comfortable.
Even if she doesn't sleep, who wouldn't want to just lay on this bed? I shut my eyes and lay there, almost melting into the sheets. I'm so happy to be here..
Alice comes into the room and I can hear her smile at me. I smile back unintentionally, and then open my eyes to look at her.
.................................................................................................................Alice POV..............................................................................................................
As I walk into my room I find Bella laying on my bed (Something I have never done) with this relaxed and happy look on her face, and it makes me smile.
Apparently she knows I'm smiling, because right after I do, one appears on her face, and then she opens her eyes.
I move to sit next to her.
This bed really is comfortable..maybe I should use it more.
"So, Bella, do you want to watch a movie or something? I have this vampire movie I thought we could laugh at.." I ask her.
I figured watching a vampire movie would be so ironic it would be funny, even though it's meant to thrill you.
Bella giggle a little and shakes her head yes, while sitting up to see what movie I go to put in the DVD player. In my closet, I have a very wide array of movies to choose from,
so I take out Van Helsing and pop it in the disc reader.
I go and take my place next to Bella again and the previews appear on the screen of the television. Sighing, I lay down next to Bella on my stomach,
feeling nervous for some odd reason. The menu comes on the screen and I realize I hadn't gotten the remote down from the top of the T.V.
and growl silently at myself because I have to reshift myself all over again to get up and go hit play.
On my way back I remember to grab the remote from the top of the T.V. so I won't have this issue again.
When I return, Bella is laying on her stomach facing the T.V. so I just sit next to her facing it and drape my arm around her back, trying to make it seem natural and careless.
Wait..why do I need to try to make it seem careless? Should it just be like that because that's how it is? Oh shit..

When Alice comes back and sits next to me, I feel her cool arm wrap around me. I'm a little startled at the contact initially, but then I smile, and snuggle into her a bit.
I see her smile back from the corner of my eye.
The movie is finally coming on, but I find myself not paying attention. Alice just seems so much more interesting.
Suddenly a question occurred to me. What exactly happened with Jasper? I mean, she said they'd gone their separate ways..but why?
"Alice?" I asked. I was trying to think of a way to ask without being too nosy.
"Yes, Bella?" Alice replies, her gaze shifting over to me.
"Well.. I know you said you and Jasper went your separate way..but..well..why? I thought you two loved each other..And you don't have to answer that if you don't want I was just wondering.." I quickly finished.
She looked totally thrown by this question, like she wasn't sure how to answer. That just made me even more curious.
Was there someone else or what? No.. She would've mentioned them by now..right?
Alice POV
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK!
Bella just asked me why I left Jazz.. What am I supposed to tell her? I left him because I wanted to come be with you? No I can't tell her that..
I stopped. This was the first time I'd admitted to myself that I felt more for Bella than just a friend.
Oh no..
"Uhm. Well, I just didn't feel the same for him anymore, and he knew it, so he let me go.." I told her slowly, not really sure if she was buying it or if I looked like that was really what it was.
She stopped, as if letting herself process the information I'd just given her, and just shook her head, as if to say okay.
What I would give to know what was happening in her head. It would make everything so much easier.
"I'm..gonna go make you some popcorn. What kind of host am I, not feeding you.." I quickly rambled, feeling that I may do something stupid now that I've finally let myself really think about Bella.
"No, Alice, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.." Bella started pulling me back towards her.
I let her pull me at her, though I obviously could've resisted easily. We ended up with our faces just inches apart, and everything stopped.
Bella was barely breathing and I didn't really know what was going on. We were so close but I didn't want to do anything that would ruin our friendship..I needed Bella..
That was when she made the decision for me and closed in the distance between us, our lips connecting in a way I never thought they would.
