Chapter Four – Disappointment

APOV

If it could have, my heart would have jumped out of my chest. We were going. Finally!!! I jumped into Jasper's arms. He hugged me back, but it was too careful. I sat back.

"What?" I asked.

"Ali…come on." He sighed.

"Please tell me what's wrong." I begged. I could still feel him controlling my emotions. If they got too strong, it would slip.

"I meant… 'Let's go talk to Carlisle.'" He hugged me. "I'm sorry." That sunk in very slowly. All control he had on me disappeared. I couldn't do anything but sob. Jasper held me.

"J…Jasper?" I whispered between sobs after a while.

"Yes, Alice?"

"Please do something."

"Anything, love. You name it."

"Let me go." I breathed. He dropped his unbreakable hold on me. I was glad that there were two meanings to that request. I meant both of them. 'Let me go' as in release your hold on me; and 'Let me go' as in, let me run to Forks. I knew it was a loosing battle, but I had to try anyway.

I ran; as fast as I could in the direction of Washington. I could hear Jasper running after me at first.

"Alice, you can't go!" He yelled to me. I heard the others too, but I out ran them and they gave up. I was about an hour out of Forks when I saw it.

"A…Alice," Bella moaned. She was lying on a hospital bed in a dark room. "Tell…him…Edward…that I…love him." Her eyes closed slowly and her chest's movement slowed to a stop.

As the vision came, I ran faster. I ran through the woods until Bella's house was in view.

"Bella, you need to go to school." Charlie was arguing with her.

"Dad, I…I can't." Her voice was so weak. "It…it hurts."

"Then call Dr. Gerandy." He sighed.

"No, dad, he doesn't understand!" Bella wailed. It hurt not being able to help her, but Charlie couldn't see me.

"Bella, he's a doctor, he's been through years and years of college. He understands all medical issues. And if he doesn't you can go to Seattle." Charlie snapped. It was quiet for a while before I could hear Bella's sobs. After a while of watching her, Charlie clomped down the stairs, out the door and into his cruiser.

I ran foreword and climbed up her house. Bella was sitting by her computer with her back turned to me, sobbing. I climbed through the window.

"Bella," I whispered after a minute. She didn't move. I had an idea. "I love you. Please don't do anything bad for you. I had a vision.

I wish I could hold you, hug you. Be with you. Please write back as soon as you get this.

Eternally,

Alice Cullen." I thought that maybe she would take that better. She sat up and opened her e-mail and replied to the fake one I just whispered to her. After a few minutes of her struggling to type through tears I had to speak again.

"Bella, I love you." I whispered. She paused, slowly turning around. When she saw me, her face changed from sad and scarred to relieved and longing.

"Alice, I wish you were really here." She whispered.

"I…I am Bella. I'm right here." I said. She shook her head.

"Don't lie. It hurts too much." She sighed. I took a step closer to her pale, shriveled up body.

"Bella, I promise, I'm telling the truth."

"Alice!" She screamed. "Stop it. I know, that's what you want me to believe, but I'm just hallucinating." She started balling again.

"Oh, Bella. I'm so sorry." I apologized.

"I know." She whispered.

"Isabella Swan, hug me." I begged. She looked up at me slowly. I walked to her and hugged her. She froze for a second.

"A…Alice?"

"Bella, I'm really here." I whispered. "I'm so sorry."

"It's…okay." She breathed. "Oh Alice!!"

"I promise Bella, we're going to fix this mess. Whether I have to go track down my family and drag them here, we'll all come back." I promised.

"Even…"

"I'll make sure of it."

"Alice it's so hard." She started crying again.

"Tell me everything Bella."
