"Oh baby," my mother cried. "I missed you so much. You have no idea how difficult it is to plan a wedding." Renée continued to hug me until Phil picked up my luggage and walked over to join us.

"Good to have you home Bella," he said dryly. "Your mother has been going completely crazy without you." I felt a sudden surge of guilt as he said these words. I had deserted my mother in her time of need without a second thought. I had packed up all my things without a single regard for her feelings. None the less Renée held me as if none of this had never happened. It seemed like no time had passed though I knew it indeed had.

Once we arrived back at my old home I let out a deep sigh of relief. This had been my real home all along even if I didn't notice it before. I now realized that Forks in my mind had always been a fantasy. When you are a child you see everything in bright and hopeful perspective. You never truly saw what life was like. I sighed deeply again; it was time to call Charlie.

"Hello," Charlie said in a worried tone. I had to hold my breath in order to contain my tears. I had left my father without his knowledge. I couldn't bear to say goodbye in person so I just left.

"Hello Charlie," I said in a weak tone.

"Bells," he said with relief. "Oh honey I'm….I'm so glad you're okay." After saying this he took on a different tone, an angry tone. "What in the hell were you thinking kid? How could you just take off like that? Do you know that Jacob has called at least thirty different times worried sick about you? How could you just leave La Push without telling anyone? I raised you better than that Isabella!"

"Dad," I practically whispered. "Please just listen to me. I know your upset but I had to leave."

"You didn't have to do anything," my father roared. "You had a life here Bella. You had a boyfriend, friends…Maybe that life didn't include your precious Edwin but it was still a life!"

"Edward dad," I corrected him. "His name is Edward."

"Whatever," Charlie seethed. "You still should have stuck around, if only for a little while. Jacob cares about you, he loved you Bella. How could you just run out on him like that?" I pulled my mouth away from the receiver and let out a small whimper. If only I could make Charlie understand.

"Dad listen to me," I said again. "I never loved Jacob and I'm sure that he never loved me." Charlie attempted to interrupt me but I cut him off before he could mutter a single word. "I know you love Jacob, and I'm so glad you do, but that doesn't mean I have to feel the same way. I love Edward and nothing you do or say will ever change that. Life without him was miserable for me. Please understand that."

"So because of this Edward boy you will never come home again," Charlie asked somberly. "Bella I don't see how that is fair. Think of your friends…Think….think of me." I couldn't help but break down at my father's words. He did need me. He needed me almost as much as Renée did.

"I love you Daddy," I told him. "I love you so much and I didn't want to leave you. Please just understand that I need some time away. I needed to figure out this situation before I make any decision."

"I love you too honey," he told me. "I'm sorry I couldn't have taken better care of you. I realize now that I was just being selfish. I wanted you to have a perfect life. I wanted to make up for all the time that we lost."

"Dad," I said softly. "There is no such thing as a perfect life. I was happy just being able to spend time with you again." I heard my father begin to quietly sob. I once again hated myself for deserting yet another parent that needed me.

"Take as much time as you need Bells," my father finally said. "I'll be right here waiting for you to make your decision. Any time you want to come home you just tell me and I'll come and get you." I was slightly taken back by my father's words. I could see now that he fully supported me and my decisions.

"Thank you Dad," I told him. "Thank you for understanding." After saying goodbye to Charlie I began to unpack. Ten minutes later a frantic looking Renée came running into my room with a massive book in her hands.

"I CAN'T DO THIS," my mother screamed slamming the book down on my bed. "Flowers, cake, honeymoon, bridesmaids, dress, what was I thinking?" I couldn't help but let out a tiny giggle at my mother's mini- meltdown. I had missed solving her problems. They took my mind off my own problems. "How dare you laugh at your mother," she cried.

"I'm sorry Mom," I said rubbing her back supportively. "You're just being so funny right now." My mother began to pout before laying her head on my shoulder.

"I missed you sweetheart," she said wrapping her arms around my waist. "You're the only person who can calm me down when I'm like this."

"I missed you too," I said hugging her in return. "Now, let me help you try and sort out this mess." It took nearly three days but by the end of it every detail of the wedding was planned. My mother and Phil were to be married next week. I was going to be the matron of honor.

For the first time in months I was happy, well almost happy. I still missed Edward and thought of him every second of every day. The only relief I could bring to myself was the knowledge that he was safe. Perhaps someday a solution could be found. Maybe Edward and I could be together, if only the fates allowed.

Three months, four days, fourteen hours, and ten minutes. That was how long it had been since I had seen Bella in one of my visions. One day I see her becoming a vampire the next day I find that her entire future has disappeared.

Edward had begged me not to try and see her future. He told me that she could take care of herself and she didn't need our family's constant presence in her life. I wish that he would realize that just because I'm not looking, doesn't mean I don't see.

Bella was alive and well. She had gone back to Arizona in order to be with her mother. She had only been there for a couple of weeks but I could tell she would soon be leaving. Though she appeared to be happy I saw behind her act. She was miserable. Night after night she would cry herself to sleep.

Edward had been wrong, I could see that now. Bella had lied to him. The question was why would she do that? If she loved Edward then why wouldn't she want to be with him? I had more questions than I did answers. I needed to see Bella no matter what Edward thought of my doing so.

"Alice don't do this," Jasper begged. "You know this will only upset Edward. He obviously isn't in contact with Bella for a reason."

"Jazz I have to do this," I said pressing my hand to his face. "Bella lied to Edward and I need to know why. It's obvious that the both of them are miserable." I continued to pack at the speed of light while Jasper continued to plead with me.

"What if Edward finds out," he asked.

"How will he find out," I asked in return. "He calls once a week if even. Being Aro's number two keeps him quite occupied if you haven't noticed." For some reason unknown to the rest of the family, Edward decided to become part of the Volturi in Italy. He was second in command in the vampire government.

The rest of the family was scattered all over the word. Esme and Carlisle had gone to Asia for a couple of months because Esme was asked to design a large monument for the head of the government. Rosalie and Emmett had gone on their second honeymoon in Paris. As for Jasper and I, we were currently spending a few months in Germany.

"Alice please," Jasper begged one last time. "Please don't do this."

"I have to Jasper," I said leaning down to kiss him deeply. I didn't know when I would see him next and so I decided to make the moment last as long as it possibly could. When we finally broke apart I jumped into my 911 turbo and raced toward the airport. Twenty four hours later I was standing in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The weather was supposed to be overcast for at least a few days. That was all the time I needed. With Bella's address in hand I quickly ran to her house. Within ten minutes I was there.

It was still early so she was of course still sleeping. I silently climbed into her window. As soon as I approached her bed she began to talk.

"I'm the one who is sorry Edward," she cried. "I didn't mean it. I love you. I didn't mean it. Just please tell me that you will forgive me." That was all I needed to hear. Bella had been lying all along and I refused to leave until she told me why. A few minutes later she would wake to find me standing at her bedside table.

I was having a terrible reoccurring dream that I couldn't seem to get rid of. It was always the same. I somehow ended up back at Forks and Jacob was standing beside me. Edward was adjacent to the both of us. Instead of standing he was withering around on the ground torn to pieces.

"I told you to stay away from him," Jacob said laughing maliciously beside me. "You see Bella this is what happens when you don't obey my rules."

"Jacob please," I begged. "Don't do this. Take me instead. Punish me."

"Silly Bella," he laughed once more. "I am punishing you. By killing Edward I am taking away the only person who ever truly loved you. That in itself is the punishment of a lifetime."

"I'm so sorry Bella," Edward cried as I collapsed beside him. "I was just trying to protect you. I love you so much." I stroked his cold face with one hand while gripping his detached hand with the other.

"I'm the one who is sorry Edward," I told him. "I didn't mean it. I love you. Please just tell me that you will forgive me." Just as Edward was about to speak Jacob tore me away from him. He threw me against a tree while he finished Edward off. I always woke up screaming.

"No Edward, no," I would scream. Then I would realize it was just a dream. Usually Renée would run to my side begging me to tell her what was wrong. This time Renée was not there. Instead someone else stood beside my bed. Someone I hadn't seen in nearly four months.

"Hello Bella," Alice Cullen said with a strange smile. My heart began to palpitate at the very sight of her.

"Alice," I screamed. Before I knew what I was doing I hurled myself at her. "Alice, oh Alice, it really is you!" I had forgotten how hard she was. Crashing into her was like crashing into a stone wall.

"Yes it's me," she said picking me up and sitting me back down on my bed. How could someone so tiny be so strong? It must have been one of the many perks of being a vampire.

"Alice what are you doing here," I asked her once I finally regained my composure. Alice frowned slightly before sitting down beside me. She grabbed my hand and began to stare at me with a questioning expression.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question," she said patting my hand. I looked down away from her. I couldn't stand to meet her gaze. I knew I had to lie again. What I didn't know was would I be able to do it?

"What do you mean Alice," I asked coyly. "I'm just visiting my mother. Her wedding is in a couple of days and she needs me here. Jacob knows all about it. He hates the fact that he can't be here and….and so do I." My heart was beating erratically. I wished I could put it at ease but I knew that was not possible.

"You're lying Bella," Alice said after studying my face for only a few moments. I tried to rip my hand from her iron grip and stood up.

"I'm not lying," I said with a shaky voice. "Jacob and I are very happy. He's the best boyfriend in the world and I couldn't ask for more."

"Come on Bella," she said pulling me back to the bed. "I just heard what you said in your sleep. I heard you tell Edward that you in fact do love him and that you were lying all along. Now, either tell me what is going on or I will be forced to drag it out of you." She raised her eyebrow causing me to gulp rather loudly. For someone so small she was sure intimidating.

I tried to lift myself again but of course she would allow this. She continued to hold my hand as I just stood there. I didn't even realize I was sobbing until Alice pulled me back on her lap and began to wipe away my tears.

"It's okay Bella," she whispered. "You can tell me."

"No I can't Alice," I told her. "That's just it, I can never tell you. If I do then Edward will be….Edward will be killed."

"Killed," Alice said with exasperation. "What do you mean he would be killed Bella." I buried my face into her neck taking in her intoxicating scent. She smelled better than anything I had ever smelled before. She rubbed my back in a gentle rhythm, waiting for me to gain control of myself.

"I made a deal with Jacob," I began. "I promised him that I would stay with him if he allowed Edward to be free. You see, Edward crossed the boundary line one night when I was in La Push. Jacob discovered this and threatened to kill him.

I begged Jacob to let him live. In return I had to swear that I would remain loyal to him and be his girlfriend. When I couldn't take it anymore I left without telling him and came here. I planned on only staying for a few weeks but now I don't know."I felt Alice tense beneath me. She had stopped breathing.

"Alice," I said trying to snap her out of it. I lifted my head to see that her eyes were glazed over. They were also a deep shade of black. "Alice," I said again. She finally came out of her trance.

"It's okay Bella," she told me. "Everything is okay." I shook my head in confusion as she pushed me off her lap and pulled out a small silver phone. "I have to call Edward."

"Alice no," I screamed running into her. I fell to the floor. She had knocked the wind out of me.

"Holy crow, Bella," she said in a panic. She sat down beside me watching me carefully. "Are you okay?"

"Don't call him," I said with as much power as I could muster. "You can't tell him Alice. If you do they will come after him. This isn't a joke. Your brother could die."

"Edward won't die Bella," Alice said shaking her head.

"Yes he will," I disagreed.

"No he won't," she said again. "Bella listen to me. A werewolf dies immediately after being bitten by a vampire. If Jacob tries to attack him he could kill him instantly. Edward would hardly be in any danger at all."

"Hardly," I repeated. "What do you mean hardly?" I could see that Alice was mentally slapping herself for even saying that.

"Okay Bella," she sighed in defeat. "There is a slight chance of danger, but it is very minuscule."

"But there is still a chance," I pointed out. "I refuse to put him in any danger Alice."

"You are in more danger than he is Bella," she said. "I'm more worried about your safety than I am Edward's. He can take care of himself."

"You don't think I could take care of myself," I asked her.

"I know you can't,'" she laughed haughtily. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Alice heard this too causing her to stand up immediately.

"Bella," I heard my mother's voice call. "Are you awake sweetheart?"

"Alice," I whispered. "Go!" If Alice stayed it would be quite difficult to explain how she got there.

"Relax Bella," Alice winked. "I've got it all under control."

"Bella," Renée said knocking on my door slightly.

"Come in," Alice said faking my voice perfectly.

"Oh," my mother said as Alice stepped forward.

"Hello Renée," Alice said. "It's so nice to meet you. I'm Alice Cullen. I'm one of Bella's friends from back home. I'm also Edward's sister." She held out her hand waiting for my mother to shake it. My eyes were nearly bulging out of my head at this point.

"Hello Alice," she said astonished. "Bella didn't tell me you were coming." My mother turned to me for an explanation but I still couldn't speak.

"I didn't know until last night," Alice said speaking for me. "You see I have family here in Arizona but they're on vacation. They won't be back for a few days so Bella picked me up from the airport."

"Oh," my mom said nodding her head, "how lovely. Well Alice since you're here I insist that you stay for the wedding. You can stay here in Bella's room for a few days."

"I would love that," Alice said with her signature smile. "Thank you Renée."

"No need to thank me dear," my mom said wrapping her arm around me. "Any friend of Bella's is a friend of mine." I laughed nervously as Alice continued to smile.

"Well I'm just going to unpack then," Alice said pulling a piece of luggage from behind my bed. My mouth flew open in shock. How long had that been there?

"Of course," Renée said. "Bella, why don't you and I go downstairs and get some breakfast while she unpacks. Feel free to join us at any time Alice."

"Thanks Renée," Alice said as my mother dragged me out. I tried to turn back but my mom wouldn't let me.

"Bella," she squealed. "Why didn't you tell me about Alice?"

"I…I don't know," I stammered. "I guess it just never came up."

"Well now you have tell me everything," I my mother said. "Starting with how the two of you met. You also have to tell me who this Edward boy is."

As soon as Bella left I quickly pulled out my phone and called Edward. It took three rings before he answered.

"Hello," his weary voice answered.

"Edward it's me," I said quickly. "Bella's in trouble, I need your help."

"What do you mean Bella is in trouble Alice," Edward asked clearly infuriated. "How do you even know she's in trouble?"

"That information is irrelevant dear brother," I said trying to change the subject. "In a couple of days I'm going to bring Bella home, until then I refuse to leave her side."

"Alice why," he questioned me. "What is going on?"

"He's back Edward," I said simply.

"Who's back Alice," Edward asked clearly becoming impatient.

"Laurent," I told him. "He's not alone either. He's brought two other vampires with him. They're after Bella."

Dun, dun, dun. So now Alice is back in the picture. How do you think Edward will respond to Alice's news? Will she tell him the truth or will she make Bella tell him the truth? Whew I'm beat, fourteen pages! Please, please, please, review! It really does make my day.
