Friday
It was about to be 3 and my last period of the day would end. I had a vision earlier that the Cullens had decided to let me follow them in my car because of the scent issue.
Walking out to my car I noticed that the Volvo was gone but Emmet was waiting by the jeep.
"Hello Bella are you ready" He boomed lowly.
"Yes Emmet. Am I following you?" I asked prepared for the answer.
"Yes" he stated as if he was used to being told what's going to happen. I guess Alice gets to openly discuss her gift and visions.
At the Cullens
Emmet met me at my car and opened the door for me. While the door was open I could tell he wasn't breathing. He lead me up the steps and right into the 'lions den'. Everyone was here except jasper. The living room was all white and the Cullens fit in perfectly.
After the formal introductions Carlisle as he wished to be called asked if I would like a beverage or anything else.
"No I'm fine thanks" I replied nervously.
"Hello Bella." Alice exclaims. She is followed by a chorus from the other Cullens.
We went on o do the formal seating with me in a comfy yet stylish chair. And the Cullens faced me like an audience on the couches. We settled in to a slow paced q&a.
"How long have you live in Forks" Esme asked.
" I have lived here since I was five. My mother remarried and they traveled a lot." I explained. " How are you liking Forks so far…Esme.?" It took a while for me to get the last part out since it seemed to soon, but that's what she asked to be called. As I watched her draw a breath in for her next reply, I notice her eyes darken. I got a vision of Alice wrapped in my sheets and was thrown off a bit. She looked beautiful in the violet colored cloth I bought 2 years prior. But I tore my mind away from the vision. Ending it prematurely. Looking around a bit still very confused I noticed Edwards guilty expression.
"I already ate" I somewhat stammered out to Esme's question. " I know you guy don't eat human food."
"Oh How considerate!" She exclaimed.
At this point I decided to give them a break. The little bloodsuckers seemed to be having trouble with my scent.
" May I use your restroom?" I asked more bashful than I realized.
"Yes, right this way" Carlisle said while directing me to a near by hallway. He took me down over half the hall the pointed to a round doorway to the right. The night seemed to be going well enough. All accept the vision . I have to remember that Edward can read my mind. Returning to the Cullens I noticed Esme seemed to have recovered somewhat.
"Well Bella" Carlisle started. "I thought my family and I would tell you a little more about ourselves. We are Vampires but I have heard you already know this."
"Yes, I learned about all of you and some of your gifts through my visions. The visions or you all started a little while before you came." I tried to explain but also leaving it a little open ended to see how much more they knew about me.
"I, like you, have visions of the future." Alice says. "But mine limit what I can do physically." she explains.
That was the first of many things I learned about Alice and the Cullens that night. The night seemed to go by quickly as I was absorbed into all this new information about Vampires and extreme strength.
I was also introduced to the couples that make up the family. Carlisle and Esme were the oldest looking couple and portrayed the adoptive parents. Rosalie and Jasper were siblings. Rosalie was mated to Emmet . And Jasper and Alice were together. None of the new information helped explain my visions of Alice and I together.
Two Weeks Later
BPOV
I was in the library again studying with Angelia when I got a vision of Jasper breaking up with Rosalie. The Cullens were not at school today because of the sun. I had been hanging with the Cullens a lot more recently. I even forgo my usual lunch spot to eat with the Cullens. While I ate, they moved their food around a bit on their plates. Most Friday continued the way the first did. Only Esme demanded I let her cook for me. My dad appreciated that I was really taking to the Cullens. And Carlisle was already making a name for himself at the hospital.
I didn't know how to take the news of the break up. Alice was the only Cullen that really put up a wall. Cutting herself off from sharing the same was her siblings did. She seemed to be keeping her distance.
Jasper POV
While out hunting I came to the conclusion that Alice was no longer mine. She had been very distant. And her new feelings toward this human ,that had invaded our lives, was shocking to me. I tried to talk to her about Bella. I decided that even if Bella is not meant to be with Alice. I still need to give her a little space. She seemed to be having a hard time with the human. The sun was shining beautifully through the trees and I knew Alice would be out here somewhere.
Alice POV
I got the vision of the break up immediately after the one I got of myself watching Bella drift off to sleep. I was immediately consumed with the sadness of a meaning full relationship lost. I had begun to see Bella in a different light the past couple weeks. For vampires their whole world changed once they meet their mate. For me Bella was my EVERYTHING now. No matter how much I tried to hide from Bella. I felt the pull of her every breath. The way she smiled with all her friends made me so jealous. I felt like I was balling my self up and away from my family. I got to work closely with Bella in biology. But it was never close enough. And then their was Jessica.
