Chapter 14: UMM…well…you see…

BPOV:

We were sitting on Edward's couch discussing our favorite bands and their downfalls, when I heard a small noise.

It sounded like a "shush" from directly outside the door. Edward cocked his head, then raised his eyebrows. He proceeded to bring a finger to his lips, leaning in his whispered in my ear, "My whole family is outside listening in." So low that I knew his family wouldn't hear him.

I smiled smugly and pointed to the door, using my hands to mime an opening motion.

Edward, catching my devious intentions, slipped stealthily over to the door, and held up three, long, pale fingers.

Counting down, his smile grew more pronounced, until he met zero, and tore the door open.

And surprise, surprise, there were suddenly six vampires lying on Edwards floor.

Internally I began to laugh, externally I tried to look as sterna as possible.

"Hello Edward" Alice said.

EPOV:

Ever since the eavesdropping incident I had begun to take Bella places, instead of staying at home, where it was apparently impossible not to spy on Edward and his girlfriend.

Yes, I said girlfriend, Bella and I made it official the next day after the Alice incident, which, as I might add, was a week ago.

Bella and I continued to grow closer, and she was beginning to open up, slightly, to the family.

At school all the rumors revolved around the "new girl's" new boyfriend, and even with me around nothing deterred Mike's overly friendly advances. Every day it was chocolate, or flowers, and sometimes-cheesy love notes, I felt like ripping his throat out.

I feel deeper and deeper in love with Bella, if that were possible, and I knew there was no one I'd rather spend the rest of forever with…

But on a side note, there was the small roadblock with the name of Andrew. It'd been over a month, and he still had not returned, which worried me, but didn't faze Bella. I wondered why, but she absolutely refused to tell me.

With Bella being as shy as she is it surprised me when she asked to speak to us all, in the kitchen, that Friday night. After we were all seated she began.

"Alice, I found your past." With one sentence, she had everyone's undivided attention, including Emmett's.

She took a deep breath, "It's painful, are you ready to hear it?" she asked, uncertain.

Alice nodded, "I can handle it."

Pulling out a paper from a folder in front of her, Bella removed a piece of paper, exactly like a birth certificate.

"You were born and christened as Mary Alice Brandon, right at the turn of the century, the eldest child of Lars, and May Brandon." Bella stated, as Alice, awestruck, looked at the birth certificate.

"You were a healthy baby with a good record, and when you were almost two, May had her second child, Cynthia Anne Brandon. You parents had a good marriage, and you grew up, neither poor nor rich, but always having just enough. When you were six you had many friends, and your parents loved and spoiled you." Bella continued.

Pulling yet another paper, Bella sighed. "When you turned seven you began to black out for short periods of time, and by the time you were eight you were diagnosed with a 'brain-problem' by doctor Clark." The paper was a copy of the medical records written by doctor Clark.

"Then," Bella started again, "You began to tell your parents things, things that you had 'seen' when you blacked out. You parents ignored it at first, and for a while you said nothing. But around the time you were about to turn sixteen, you began to bring it up again. You called them visions, and sometimes you said they included vampires, which is when your parents took action."

Removing yet another paper from the folder, once more a bunch papers were placed in front of Alice, and she gasped.

"At the age of sixteen you were committed into an asylum, for supposedly seeing 'visions' as you referred to them." Shuffling through the papers in front of Alice, Bella pointed out another one. "The asylum assistant, a twenty-four year old Charles Brown took a liking to you, and he was the vampire that changed you." Bella explained.

Alice looked like shock was permanently written on her face.

Bella spoke, "Along came a vampire named James, you were his singer, meaning your blood was almost irresistible to him. Charles, not wanting you to be killed, stole you from the asylum and changed you. James, in vengeance, destroyed Charles, and hasn't been seen since. You know the rest." Bella sighed.

I thought the story was over, so when I opened my mouth to speak I was surprised when Bella held a sheet out to Alice.

"You sister, Cynthia, married John Stevenson six years after your 'death' and they had a daughter, Anne Marie, who is in her fifties and living in Georgia, here's her picture. Your sister and her husband died about thirty years ago, within a few months of each other." Bella said pointing, and then noticing Alice's confusion added, "Anne Marie was an only child and unmarried, this is as best of family tracing I can do." Bella sighed in defeat.

I wanted to her that she did fine, and I was about to, but Alice beat me to it.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. This is probably one of the best things anyone has ever done for me!" She squealed.

I was just happy that Bella had finally gotten up the courage to talk; she was finally coming out of her shell. Looking over at her I noticed how stressed she looked, and quickly skimmed Jasper's mind, noting she was a little overwhelmed.

I quickly grabbed her hand, and slipped her upstairs, my family unnoticing (well they noticed but knew that we needed some alone time).

When we got to my room she hugged me like she would never let go, and I knew she was stressed, so I did the only thing I could think of at the moment, I tilted her chin upwards, and pressed my lips to hers.

AN: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STICKING WITH ME! By the way I improvised on Alice's story a little, but tried to stick as close to the story as I could! Please review!
