I arrived at school earlier than I usually do. I had been anticipating this day all through the weekend. As I made my way to my first class, I mentally went over everything that I was to say when he spoke to me today. I just hoped I wouldn't mess up. With my bad luck, anything is possible.

Nothing of extreme importance happened during the morning. It was snowing and the kids were all eagerly throwing snowballs at each other between classes. My warning glare kept them from assaulting me.

Finally, the bell rang for lunch. I made my way to the cafeteria and froze when I stepped inside. There were only 4 people at the Cullen table? He wasn't here? How could that be? He was here before. I was trying hard to understand. What had changed? The only thing I had done was to tell him that he wouldn't kill me. Did that change it that much?

I went through the lunch line getting only a soda. I was too sick to even think about food right now. After assuring Jessica and Mike that I was fine, I glanced over at their table again. Alice caught my eye for a brief second. A silent apology? Edward was very good at mind reading. Did Alice slip? What had happened? I would have to talk to her soon.

I barely made it through the rest of the day. The biology lab was a nightmare without him there. Gym was even more horrifying than usual. My mind was racing with questions as I went to my locker to get my bag. I was surprised to find a note placed on top of it. I curiously opened it.

Bella,

Edward knows that you know about us. I tried my best to block it all out but that part slipped. He's a little upset right now. I see him back at school tomorrow. Remember what happens next. Make sure it happens. If he doesn't save you, I will. I promise.

Forgive me,

Alice


APOV- flashback from the previous day

Edward was on his way back just as she said he would. Another hour and I'll have to put on the biggest show of my existence. Could I do it? I truly hoped so. Jasper knows that I'm hiding something. I wish I could tell him what's going on but that would be too dangerous. It will all work out one way or the other. Either her dreams would come true or she would have no dreams to think about. Edward would either change her or, I shudder to think, kill her. That were the two futures that I could foresee.

Everyone was in place. I had asked the whole family to be sitting at the table when he came in. They were just as confused as he would be but they did it without questioning me. Finally I heard the car pull in. He came in the door with a haunted, tortured look on his face.

Edward! You're back! I've missed you. I thought to him while blocking out all other thoughts.

After the round of greetings, Edward sat down and looked around at all of us and settling on Carlisle. "So what's with the family meeting? Has something happened?"

Carlisle glanced over at me. "I'm not sure. Alice, would you care to enlighten us?"

Edward's gaze shifted to me. "Alice, what's going on?"

"Well, Edward, I was wondering what you're going to do about your current problem," I started while reciting the whole periodic table in my head. "The whole family needs to know what you've decided."

Edward scrutinized me curiously. "I haven't decided yet. What do you see me doing?" He gave me a weak smile. "What are you hiding, Alice?"

My favorite color is yellow. My favorite color is yellow. I chanted in my head. "I'm not hiding anything, Edward. You have not decided anything yet for me to see. The only thing I see is that you will not be able to stay away from her. She is a mystery that you will not be able to resist."

"Yes, she is a mystery. But she will stay a mystery. I will not put her in danger any more than I have to. I can endure one hour a day with her in Biology but no more than that," Frustration now clearly evident on his face. "Why in all that is holy do you keep thinking about your favorite color?! What are you hiding?!"

Jasper's favorite color is blue. Jasper's favorite color is blue. "I'm not hiding anything!"

Edward's topaz eyes blazed with anger as he grasped the edge of the table. " I don't care what Jasper's favorite color is! Show me what you're hiding!"

We stared each other down for several long seconds. I carefully kept my thoughts focused on the new dress that I was designing for Rosalie.

Esme broke up our battle of the minds. "Edward, if you don't mind, this is my favorite table."

"Fine," he said exasperated as he removed his fingers from the table. "Alice, would you at least tell me why you are blocking your thoughts."

"There are some things that you don't need to know yet. Let's just say I have an interest in her. I see that I will become good friends with her." I briefly showed him the image of Bella and I arm in arm smiling at each other before changing my thoughts back to Emmett's latest joke.

"Why would Bella become good friends with you?" he whispered. "If she knew what we are she would run in the opposite direction."

His question caused me to slip. She doesn't care what we are. She loves us. Oops. Jasper loves me. I love Jasper. Jasper loves me.

"She doesn't care! Are you telling me she knows?! Did you tell her?" He growled at me with so much fury I shrank back against Jasper.

Suddenly we were all calm. I gave Jasper a quick thank you glance.

"No, Edward. I did not tell her. She already knew."

"How? Never mind that. What do we do now? When do we leave?"

"I see two possible futures. You will either kill her," which will make me very displeased with you I thought to him, "Or change her into one of us." Which will make me the happiest little sister ever.

"No. I will not accept either one of those. I will not become a monster. We'll leave. That's the best solution."

Carlisle finally spoke up giving me the chance to build up my mental barrier again. "If Bella knows about us Edward, something will have to be done. You will have to see if she can keep our secret before we will even think about leaving."

"And how am I supposed to do that? I can't read her mind!" Edward tossed back.

"I guess you're going to have to talk to her the old fashioned way," Emmett chimed in with a hearty laugh.

"Talk to her at school tomorrow, Edward. I'm sure she'll answer some of your questions." I said, thinking about the outfit I was going to wear tomorrow.

"I don't think I'm ready for that yet. What if I slip up? I need some time." Edward said as he stood up to leave. "I'm going to go hunt."

I watched Edward go out the door. Will he come back? I see that he will come back but that he will not go to school tomorrow. Bella will be disappointed.


EPOV

Why is this happening to me? What did I ever do to deserve this? Bella knows. How does she know? Why is she such a mystery to me? Why can I not read her mind? She doesn't care what we are? Why would she not care? She loves us? Wait! Us? What did Alice mean? Us? Surely Alice didn't mean that Bella loves me too. How could she ever love someone like me? And if she really does love me, will I love her back? Can I love her back? Should I love her back?


Sorry the Edward point of views are short. It's very hard for me to write from a guy's perspective but it does help the story flow better if there is a hint at what his thoughts are.
