Chapter 7

A/N: Hope you guys like this chapter, I know some of you don't like me right now haha. By the way please review to let me know if you guys like the story or not. Give me feedback I'm only getting less than 5% feedback. It's a little disheartening. I can't tell if my story is good or not. I've seen a few stories with 5 ch have more reviews than this one. Obviously I know their stories are awesome and mine not so much. But I repeat I am not a review whore. Seriously though, it's kinda lowers my self esteem if no one reviews. I only get like two or three reviews a chapter. So to me that means my story isn't that good? And if it's not, please tell me what I need to work on. Anyway as you well know Stephanie Meyer owns twilight and its characters. For now enjoy my version of the story. Here's chapter 7.

BPOV

That day I didn't see Alice in Gym. That's when I finally registered seeing Alice run out of the school in what looked like tears. Honestly I'm worried about her. I have no idea what happened to get her that way. My beautiful pixie was crying and I had no idea why. Did someone bully her? Did someone offend her in anyway? If so that person is soooo going to die! No one hurts My Alice! This possessive thing has become somewhat of my new best friend. Over the next few days Alice didn't return and the only way I could keep myself remotely calm was to pretend that she was already mine, at least in my head she was. She has an amazing hunk like Jasper at her side I'm pretty sure that she doesn't swing my way. Oh how I wish she did. Obviously I had pretty much accepted the fact that I was totally falling for her. Not my fault, I didn't ask her to be so amazingly beautiful or amazing in general.

As for Edward, even though I told him I wasn't ready to give him an answer, he has taken it upon himself to assert himself as my boyfriend. Trying to hold hands at every opportunity, and making me sit with his family at lunch times. And as much as I'd like to refuse him, there are a few reasons why I haven't just yet. One, I really don't know how to reject people. After all I have never had to. In fact I've done more talking in my first week than I have at my other schools for an entire year. Two, seeing as he made me sit at his table every day I saw this as an opportunity to see Alice. Although at the moment she was nowhere around, I knew that eventually when she came back this would be the opportunity to get closer to her. And last but not least, three, it kept Mike and Eric away from me, which in turn made Jessica less bitchy seeing as she liked Mike. As for Edward he just seemed so happy being with me. I just didn't know if I had the heart to refuse him. However, I will refuse to kiss him seeing as it would just be so embarrassing if I threw up in his mouth. Seriously, the thought of kissing him just makes me sick. It's not because he's a bad guy, it's just I don't swing that way I guess. I tried imagining kissing other guys like those hot actors or singers and again I get sick before I could picture it. Suffice it to say, I'm definitely not into guys.

As the week came to a close I still hadn't done anything about Edward, and I'm beginning to think I never will. He became more and more assertive in his attempts to become my boyfriend. It also seemed like little by little he was becoming quite possessive and controlling. I never really got to sit with Angela and her friends at lunch and he walked me to class each day not giving me enough time to socialize and he made me go straight home each day. It was like being some kind of princess with a bodyguard. If this was how it's going to be with Edward then I really don't want to do it. However I still haven't refused him just for the off chance that maybe being with him I'll get to see Alice more. I hadn't seen her in three days! I was suffering from AWS (Alice Withdrawal Syndrome) and it was honestly killing me. I needed to see this girl like soon. In fact I was looking forward to Saturday and shopping, even though I absolutely HATE shopping, if it would just give me the chance to see my beautiful angelic pixie. Oh god I have it sooooo bad. But fuck can you blame me? She's so perfect.

Saturday is here and I have already gotten my trademark jeans and hoodie and converses on and I'm pacing the living room floor as though I was trying to burn a hole in the ground. I was completely nervous. What if she doesn't come? What do I say to her when I see her? Do we HAVE to go shopping? What If I kiss her? Whoa where'd that last one come from? Although I think I might enjoy that one just the thought alone….mmm yum.

"DING DONG"

Oh shit! She's here! I freeze and stare at the door like it's going to open by itself.

"The door isn't going to open itself just by you staring at it Bella," a wind chime like voice floats through the door. Oh how I have missed that voice. A shudder goes through me. Just on the other side of this door god's most beautiful creation ever made is waiting for me.

"Well if you'd rather not I guess I'll leave witho-" I yank open the door and pull her inside, or try to being a vampire she is pretty much immovable.

"No! Please… don't go I'm here"

Her eyes flash to the close proximity my rush to prevent her leaving has brought us. Did her eyes just darken a little bit? She smiles widely and then takes in what I'm wearing and frowns.

"Are you really going out like that?" she asks.

"Um…yes?" I look down at what I'm wearing. Not seeing a problem with it, it was comfortable. I like comfortable.

"You have absolutely nothing else?"

"Nope."

"Well, leave a note your dad. You're going to be gone all day long until the stores close on us. Let's go we need to get you an entire new wardrobe then come back and have a bonfire with your current ones. Because honestly I would be embarrassed to send that to Goodwill" she says with a playful smirk that is oh so sexy. What she said might have hurt if I hadn't seen that smirk.

"Well sorry Alice, not all of us are blessed with the skills and taste of a fashionista. Wait! Did you say all day? As in 9 o'clock tonight?"

"Heavens no! That's unheard of in Port Angeles, the shops all close at 8," I breathed a sigh of relief. "We are going to Seattle where the stores stay open til 12am"

T-t-twelve? Is she serious? Shopping for more than 12 hours? It's only 8 in the morning! It takes a couple hours to get to Seattle….oh man…I'm going to die. Then again, I get 12 hours of alone time with Alice. Suddenly the idea isn't so bad.

"Um ok let's go" I say and I follow her to her car.

I stop and stare at the bright yellow car screaming at me in my driveway.

"Pick up your jaw Bella, you'll catch flies that way," she says with her eyes laughing mirthfully at me.

"Alice! What is this?"

"Umm pretty sure it's a car Bellsy," oooh a nickname, I like.

"I can see that it's a car but…"

"It's a Porsche! Edward got it for me as a thank you gift"

"A thank you for what?"

"Get in let's go. Daylights burning!" she says as she opens the door for me to get in.

I hop into the car and Alice shuts the door, gets in on the other side and is backing the car out of the driveway before I even have my seatbelt on. Damn that vampire speed. Suddenly with all the doors closed I'm flooded with Alice's scent. Like strawberries and oranges. So delectable. I could honestly drown in this scent forever. I glance over at her and realize she is talking to me.

"-ry I haven't been around the last few days. I had to go see my favorite aunt who was in the hospital."

"Is that what was wrong? I saw you leave the school in tears I was thinking someone had hurt you. I've been worried for awhile when I didn't see you."

"Aww, Bellsy I've missed you too!" She flashes me that heart stopping smile of hers.

"So can you tell me a little bit about yourself Alice? I mean we don't really know each other that well except that I'm human and you're a vampire," I nervously bite my lip as I look over at her.

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything"

Alice sighs as she swerves around a car, "Well I was born about century ago, though I don't quite remember when. All of my human memories are gone. I haven't the slightest clue what my name is other than Alice. I woke up in a destroyed building buried under a bunch of rubble. All I could remember was the torturous pain of being turned. On my wrist was a band which simply stated "Alice". I assumed that, that was my name."

"So you were a patient at a hospital? That's the only thing I could think of for having a wristband with your name." I say as I glance down at her wrist, as if hoping to see the wrist band.

"Not exactly…." Alice winced "you see this wasn't a hospital, well not your traditional hospital. It was an asylum."

"Asylum? What were you doing there?" I asked horrified that my Alice was in such a place.

"Well seeing as I have no recollection of my former life, Carlisle suggested it probably had to do with what my power is. Edward told you we had powers right?"

"Well he told me he could read minds. Can all of you do that?" I asked a bit wary seeing as my thoughts recently haven't exactly been friendly.

"No no that's just Edward. Carlisle has amazing compassion and control, Esme has mother's intuition to the max power," Alice chuckled at that. "Rosalie carried over her beauty and vanity as well as something we like to call; Lilith's power. It's basically her ability to lure or seduce any member of the opposite gender with her voice regardless of race; human or supernatural. Emmett carried over his strength, he's the strongest vampire that I know, and only newborn vamps would win in a contest of strength. Jasper has the ability to sense emotions."

"Wow so you guys are like a group of super vamps"

"Coven, a group of vampires are considered a coven. But yes we are."

"So what is yours and why were you in an asylum because of it?"

"My power is the gift of foresight, and Carlisle assumes that as a human I had premonitions. Naturally about a century ago people were scared of anything….'weird' so as a result I ended up in an asylum, probably to try and 'cure' me"

"Oh my god Alice that's horrible!" I said horrified at what this girl probably had to go through.

"It's fine now Bellsy, one I'm no longer there and I have an awesome family now, and two, I don't even remember a thing."

"Still…..wait foresight? So you can see the future?" I inquire.

"Yup I can" She smiles at me again.

"So then can you tell me if there will be a pop quiz in my math class next week?" I ask innocently.

Alice breaks out in laughter that sounds like angels giggling, and I smile softly.

"Silly Bella. If I told you that it wouldn't be a pop quiz." Alice chuckles.

"I know that's why I asked"

"Maybe there will be maybe not"

"Alice that doesn't really help"

"I know"

"So the after you woke up?"

"Oh right! After I woke up I was alone, I have no idea who changed me or why, but I immediately had a vision of Jasper and the Cullens. I went to find Jasper first in a bar down in Texas, and together we went to find Carlisle, and adapt to his diet. And now I'm here!"

"Seems like a lot is missing but seeing as you can't remember a good portion of it, I guess we will just have to find out someday, huh?"

"I suppose so"

"Well now I know a little more about you Pixie"

"Pixie?"

"You call me Bellsy" I point out.

"Touché"

"Well then my turn"

"No need Bella, I know all about you"

"You do?!"

"Mhmm, I've had visions of you since you were born. I've watched you grow up, I know you better than you know yourself."

"WHAT?"

"Oh don't worry it's not like I wanted to, the visions are uncontrollable, and I never saw anything too embarrassing. Well, unless you call falling from a tree and landing on your friend in the summer of 2006, embarrassing."

"Oh my god…" I remember that, it was when I was 11 and me and my childhood friend from here in Forks, Jake, were climbing trees. It had been the last summer I spent with my dad, before mom decided to stop sending me. Jake and I had been bored so we went to climb trees, Jake was 9 and since I was older I told him I'd climb it while he watched since he was afraid of heights at the time. On my way up I slipped and fell right on top of him, we ended up in a heap with his face being buried directly under my butt.

"Ahhh good times" Alice sighed as she remembered the vision.

"Alice! Don't tell anyone, that's so embarrassing!"

"It's ok no one else knows, except for Edward. That's only 'because he read my mind."

"So I guess you do know everything" by this point my face is beet red with all the things that I could think of that she could have seen.

"Sorry Bellsy, if I could I would have blocked the visions" Alice says apologetically.

"No, it's ok. If there is anyone whom I don't mind seeing my "Bella Moments" it's you" I smile warmly at her.

"Aww. That's sweet, Bella." Alice smile brightly.

I'm not sure what came over me but, suddenly I felt the need to hold her hand so I did. I just grabbed her hand that was on the shifter knob and placed it into my hand with my palm up, feeling the familiar tingles go through my arm and then my entire body. I felt her twitch a little bit but she relaxed and didn't take her hand away. So I just happily held it, lacing our fingers together. Wow way to go Bella, never thought you had it in you. Wonder if she can feel my feelings through this or maybe she just thinks this is friendly. Either way I don't care. I, Isabella Swan, am holding Alice Cullen's hand! And suddenly her hand is gone as she shifts the car into a lower gear to slow down for the traffic up ahead. She smoothly darts in and out of the traffic with skills a NASCAR driver would be jealous of. When the road is finally clear again her hand, consciously or not, travels back to my hand lacing our fingers once again. Suddenly I'm hit with biggest, happiest, most elated feelings I have ever had in my life. Alice just took my hand, on her own! Squeeeee! I'm falling so hard for this girl! Maybe she might swing this way after all? I'm probably reading too much into it. To her this is just friendship. For me though it's so much more. She is driving me crazy! Even though her hand is as cold as ice, my entire body is on fire and the hugest fire is in my hand.

We continue to travel in silence each of us thinking our own thoughts. Mine are on the small dainty little hand that currently inhabits my hand. My imagination however is taking this everywhere. At one point I almost decided to lean in and kiss her, possibly getting her to pull over and have a make out session on the side of the road. That thought was dashed when she had a coughing fit and nearly swerved into oncoming traffic. This caused her hand to leave mine so she could shift gears. Suddenly I felt like that gear knob was just like Jasper, it became the target of my jealousy. But as soon as the car was under control again, she slid her hand back into mine and suddenly the world felt right again. I was definitely falling in love with this girl there was definitely no doubt about that. She was doing things to me that I have never felt before. Occupying my mind like no one or thing has ever done before. I was drowning in a sea called Alice and honestly I could die happy.

All too soon the car ride was over and we had reached the shopping district for Seattle. Suddenly remembering what we were here for I groaned.

"Aww Bellsy, cheer up! With me here this is going to be fun!" Alice said enthusiastically

"12 hours of shopping you have to be kidding me Alice" I say with groan, even though in the back of my mind I did agree with her about it being more endurable with her presence.

"Poor deluded Bellsy, check your watch" she said with an evil smirk

Puzzled I glance at my watch.

"WHAT! It's only 9? Geeze how fast were you going Alice?" It's supposed to take at least a couple hours to get here from Forks.

"That doesn't matter what does matter is we have even more time to shop"

Yep this girl is definitely going to kill me. 15 hours of shopping? Kill me now. I walk around the car and begrudgingly walk besides her towards my personal hell. This is going to be fun. I thought dryly. Suddenly Alice's cool hand slides into mine and intertwines our fingers as we walk to the stores. Hmmm maybe this won't be so bad after all. I squeeze her hand to let her know I'm ready. Then hand in hand we walk together towards my hell, which interestingly enough, now looks like an innocent match about to fizzle out. With this girl, I'll face anything.

A/N: Belliceness in the last two chappys! Tis my christams presents to you all. But trust me they still got a ways to go. Plus you have to add in the interference of everyone's favorite (sarcasm) mind rapist. Anyway review please.
