Alex got up early in the morning to prepare herself for school; actually she didn't get up, she had hardly been asleep. She walked into the bathroom and took herself a hot shower. The water relaxed her and she was hoping for it to take her mind off things; but it failed. It drifted to Edward, and she wondered why he got back with Bella. She thought after skipping school with him that he liked her. She couldn't get over how wrong she was.

She skipped on a pair of jeans, and a old band tee shirt. She straightened her hair and then pulled it back into a loose pony tail. She applied some make-up and then walked out of her room and placed on her converse. She walked down the stairs and saw her grand mother sitting at the table reading a newspaper; she was smiling as she read.

"Your grandpa is being released today." Lane said.
"Great! I can't wait to see him." Alex replied.
"Want some breakfast?" Lane ask.

Alex nodded her head and walked over and got her a plate of eggs and bacon. She took her seat at the table and began eating; though her mind was still elsewhere. She just couldn't believe Edward and Bella were back together.

"What's wrong?" Lane ask.
"Nothing..." Alex said trying to sound convincing.
"Now, come on. I know you better than that."
"It's just this guy. I thought he liked me, and he sort of got a girlfriend." Alex said frowning.
"Well, theirs plenty of fish in the sea, buttercup."

Of course that was something a grandmother would say. Alex just smiled and finished her plate before hugging her grandmother and walking out to her car. She got inside and turned up her music as she drove off to school. She wanted to drown out the thoughts of Edward Cullen and it seemed the best way to go about that was rock music blasting so loud that her ear drums would explode.

She pulled into the parking lot and saw Alice and Rosalie standing by a red convertible. She laughed, thinking about how everyday they were driving a different car. She got out and grabbed her stuff and walked over to the two girls. Rosalie looked as if she was going to choke someone; while Alice looked very composed and calm.

"What's the news?" Alex asked.
"He's with that no good little human." Rosalie spat.

Alice looked over at Rosalie and narrowed her eyes, shooting daggers at her sister. She probably didn't even realize what she had just said. Thankfully Alex didn't catch on either.

"I hope he's happy." Alex said.
"He's not! How could he be with that." Rosalie hissed as they began walking towards the school.

Emmet and Jasper were walking behind them quietly. They felt the same as Rosalie; but they wasn't as verbal as her. Emmet knew he would need to calm her down; or by lunch she would start a riot and possibly end up killing Bella Swan.

"Shit, I forgot my binder in the car." Alex said, turning around.

She looked towards the parking lot and saw the Volvo pulling in. She held her breath, wondering if only Edward would step out. He stepped out first, looking as gorgeous as always. But then the passenger door opened. Since the rest of the Cullen family were already inside; she didn't need to even guess as to who it was.

"Or, I can get it later." She said turning around and walking past Jasper.

Jasper shook his head as he watched Bella link her fingers with Edwards. He was disgusted by the human girl, she was ruining everything.

Alice and Alex passed notes in English once again.

He's being so foolish.

He probably still loves her.

Love? Ha! He doesn't love her, trust me.

Apparently he likes her enough to date her again, then.

No! He doesn't, it's just complicated.

Alex just gave Alice a half smile at her last note. How were things complicated? Was this the secret Bella said? Was she black mailing Edward into being with her? So many questions were echoing through her mind. She really wanted to know the reasons as to why Bella and Edward got back together; but she didn't want to ask either of them. She didn't want him to know she was hurting because of this.

The day passed quickly. At Lunch, Alex skipped on sitting at the Cullen table when she saw Bella sitting next to Edward. It made her sick to her stomach; she decided to just catch up on home work instead of eating. That was until she felt someone sitting beside her. She looked over and saw Rosalie sitting there glaring over at her normal lunch table.

"Rosalie." Alex started
"You can call me Rose." Rosalie cut her off.
"Rose, why aren't you eating with your family?" Alex questioned.
"I hate her, Alex."

She just nodded her head, and before she knew it. Emmet, Jasper, and Alice were also sitting at her table. She put her books away and joined in on the conversation.

"He's unhappy." Emmet said.
"He's more depressed now than he was when she left." Jasper said.
"Why did he get back with her then?" Alex ask bitterly.

Why would he put himself through this torture if he was miserable? Things just didn't make sense to her. She was absolutely confused. She looked around and watched as they all glanced at each other. It seemed as if they was communicating in some way; some way she wasn't quite able to.

"We'll tell you soon." Alice said.
"Yeah, you'll find out soon." Emmet repeated.

Alex just shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head. Clearly, it wasn't a big deal if they planned on telling her. The rest of lunch was filled with Rose talking about how awful Bella was. Everyone seemed to agree with her though, Alex kept her opinions to herself.

Chemistry was awkward. Edward sit beside Alex without saying a word. Part of Bella's new rules were he could not speak to Alex. He wanted to read her mind; to know what she was thinking, feeling, but he couldn't. Her scent was driving him wild. He watched as she doodled on her piece of paper yet again. She was drawing shooting stars. He smiled over at her, and she just frowned. 'She is feeling betrayed.' he thought. She was ignoring him completely because of this.

Chemistry ended much faster than Edward would have liked. He watched her gather her things without a word said; she didn't say hi, nor did she say bye. She just walked straight out of the room. Bella was waiting by his side after class.

"I'm gonna take you home, then I'm going hunting again. Okay?" Edward said.
"As long as you spend the night again." Bella said with a smile.
"I'm not sure if i'll be back tonight, Bella. You know how long I stay gone when Jasper is with me." Edward replied walking out of the room.

Bella nodded her head, wishing Jasper wasn't tagging along. He always took long hunting trips since he was the newest to the family. He needed to feed more than any of the others so he could control himself better. She said her goodbyes to her boyfriend and watched as he pulled out of the drive way. She walked inside the house and smiled at a job well done. She had saw how miserable Alex was today; and that was exactly her intentions.

Edward walked inside the house and saw everyone gathered in the living room. Esme and Carlisle were discussing something with the rest.

"What are you guys talking about?" Edward ask.
"We're telling Alex about us." Rosalie said.
"WHAT?" Edward yelled. "You can't do that!" He spat.
"We've already discussed it. We want her to know, Edward." Alice said.
"No! She can't know! Are you crazy? Bella knowing is one too many!" He hissed.
"You told Bella. Now we're telling Alex." Jasper said.
"Carlisle, you can't let them do this." Edward begged.
"I'm sorry, but I actually think it would be a good idea." Carlisle said.
"A GOOD IDEA? That's not only putting her in danger, but us!" Edward yelled.
"We'll tell her what she's about to know is dangerous. It'll be her decision. If she wants to know then we will tell her; if not then we wont." Emmet said.
"Esme, please." Edward turning to her and pleaded.
"I'm sorry, I agree. Alex knowing will not be that big of a deal. Alice and Rose both think she'll accept us." Esme said.

Edward opened his mouth to say something but instead he just rushed upstairs and slammed the door. He couldn't believe they was going to tell her. WHY? He thought to himself.

"How did she take it in the vision, Alice?" Esme ask.
"She thought we were lying at first. Then ask where the coffins was." Alice chuckled.

She had a vision of her and Rose telling Alex about their secret. Alex took the news very well, and was open minded about the idea. She ask questions; and wasn't scared. That only made Alice along with Esme think that she and Edward were meant for each other that much more. After talking about it and weighing out the odds of Alice's vision being wrong; they decided to take the chance. They would tell Alex this Saturday when they invited her over to their home after a day of shopping with Rose and Alice.
