Chapter 4
"Alice! Emmett!" I yelled. I ran to them and hugged them both. Emmett laughed his booming laugh. "I told you Alice." he said while lifting me up in a bear hug. "Hey little sis." he said and then spun me around. "Hey Em, what are you two doing here?" I asked excitedly when he finally sat me down. Emmett and Alice looked at each other uneasily. "Sit down Bella. We are just as confused as you are." Alice said. I sat down on the couch, and they sat on either side of me. I looked from Alice to Emmett and back again. "Well, Bella. Alice seen you jump off of a cliff and that you were fighting for your life. She got all panicky and came running to me. Alice would not talk to anyone, except me. She told me everything that she had seen." Emmett explained. I sighed. I should have known that Alice had seen that. "He, I mean, Edward doesn't know, does he?" I asked worriedly. I remembered one time Edward and I had talked about dying. He had told me that if I died, he would follow. I shuddered. "Well. Does Edward know?" I asked, again, impatiently. "No.", Alice said. I sighed in relief. I knew that he had left me all alone and told me that he didn't want me. But I knew that if I was to die, or whatever it is that happens after this life, I would not be able to stay in this world. "Alice!" I heard Emmett say. I looked at Alice and her eyes were glazed over. I knew that she was having a vision and the look on her face, meant it wasn't good. "What did you see?" Emmett asked. Alice just stared at me. "I saw Edward. It doesn't look good. He wants to die. I don't understand." Alice said. Her face fell. I began to cry as I fell to the floor. Why was he doing this to me? Why now? I thought to myself. "How long do we have?" Emmett asked quietly. "Two days." Alice answered. I cried harder. In two days Edward would die and I would too. Alice must have seen my future because she gasped and then threw a pillow at me. I looked up at her and her face fell again. "Don't you love us, Bella?" she asked me quietly. Emmett looked at me sadly. He apparently knew what she had seen. I looked at Emmett. "You know I do, Alice. And Emmett, you know I love you two." I answered and my voice cracked. Both of their faces lit up. "You have to come with us Bella." Emmett said excitedly. He began jumping up and down, saying "Please.", like a 5 year old. "Of course I will." I told him. In one swift movement Alice was on the phone. I thought I heard her order plane tickets. Where was Edward? When Alice snapped the phone shut, she dialled another number. "Hi Rosalie, no Bella is fine. Wait! How did you know?" Alice gasped. "You did what?! How could you Rose? It was all a misunderstanding. Bella is standing right here between me and Emmett. Do you have any idea what you have done?" Alice yelled in to the phone. I jumped and Emmett growled. Alice turned to look at us. "Never mind Rosalie, just tell Carlisle that BELLA, Emmett, and I are going to Italy, to save Edward, because you couldn't keep your mouth shut." Alice yelled again and then hung up. "So Rose told Edward?" Emmett asked. Alice and I glared at him. "I'm going to write Charlie a note for you, Bella. But first you need to answer the phone." Alice said. I looked at her questioningly and then I heard the phone ring. I ran to the kitchen to answer it. "Hello.", I answered. "Is Charlie there?" I heard the man say as the phone was taken out of my hand. I looked to see who it was. I gasped. "No. He's at a funeral." Jacob said and then hung up. "Who was it, Jacob?" I yelled. "He said that his name was Dr. Cullen.", Jacob answered. "Why did you hang up on him?" I asked angrily. "He hung up on me.", he answered again. I punched him in his face. I heard a few things crack. "You broke my nose!" Jacob yelled. I laughed and then gasped. I had broken my hand as well. "Ouch! I thought that you weren't coming back." I accused him. "I had to make sure that you were okay. I'm leaving now and this time I won't return." he plainly stated and then left. I began to think about the caller. I knew that it wasn't Carlisle. He would have called Alice. I ran to the living room. "Alice! He just called!" I yelled historically. Emmett looked at my hand. It was already beginning to swell. "Damn sis. I feel sorry for whoever you punched." he said. I smacked him with my other hand. "Who called Bella?" Alice asked impatiently. "Edward did. He said that he was Carlisle, but I knew it wasn't. And he hung up because Jacob told him that Charlie was at a funeral." I exclaimed. "Who is Jacob?" Emmett asked. "He's a stupid werewolf mutt. I punched him and broke his nose and my hand.", I explained angrily. "You punched a werewolf?" Emmett asked as Alice tried to call Edward. "He's not answering." Alice shrieked. Alice grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. She began to write a note for Charlie:
'Dear Charlie,
I came and got Bella. I will bring her back in a few days. Don't worry. I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
Love, Alice'
As soon as she put the note on the front door, we all ran to Carlisle's car.
