Alice POV

Being essentially alone is not fun. But, I have lived with it for many years. But, Bella and Emmett are the greatest friends anyone can ask for and they keep me fighting the loneliness that tries to consume me every waking moment. It's like a part of me is missing. And I had no idea how to get what I needed the most.

One boy.

He was unintentionally elusive. It drove me crazy. He had no idea how he had affected my life. Sometimes I felt that maybe it would be better in the long run if he never did. But, I couldn't do that to myself. I needed him more than I have ever wanted anything. It's funny, the difference between want and need. And how people confused them. You want things for different reasons, personal reasons. However, when you need something, it's for one reason. To live. Some would say: I want that so bad, I will die without it. They are wrong, only when you need something can you die without it. Most people want someone in their life because it will make them happier and a better person. I needed him in the worst way. He was beautiful and mysterious. An enigma. I knew so much about him and at the same time, so little. I was fiercely jealous of anyone who knew him better than I did.

I was hopeless.

No one knew I was hiding this need underneath my effervescent ways. I seemed excitable, quirky, yet confusing to the outsiders. The outsiders being everyone but me. Okay, I take that back. Bella knew I liked the boy, but she still did not understand the raw and animalistic need I had to be with him.

Would he ever know?

Sitting on my bed, painting my toenails a neon green, an image comes to my head. I take it in and begin to diagnose it. These images, have come to me since I was about nine years old, when I had my first one. The first one was the strongest one I've ever had. These images were glimpses into the future. I can't control them, at least, I don't think I can. From what I understand of the image, Bella was going to have to chose between two boys that both loved her sometime in the future. I bubbled with excitement, all previous thoughts about my need forgotten. My best friend deserved some loving from the opposite sex.

Should I tell her?

I couldn't be for sure on who she chose, or even who the boys were. But, if I didn't tell her and let it slip out later that I knew it would happen, I had a chance of losing her as a friend. Bella doesn't take very kind to being lied to.

So, I pick up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

"Hello?" she answered after a couple of rings.

"Hey Bella!"

"Hey Alice, what's up?"

"Nothing much. Just painting my toenails."

"Fun! What color this time?"

"Neon green!"

"That's awesome. I usually just go with like a clear coat, but neon green suits you."

I didn't know how to start what I wanted to tell her. I kept thinking about how to approach it, but nothing was coming to mind.

"So, how was the rest of your first day? You never did tell me."

"Oh, nothing much happened. Just have to be Edward Cullen's lab partner," she said, her voice dripping with disgust as she said his name.

"Well, that could be interesting."

"Yeah, I guess. He's just so confusing. Yet, I thought I was falling for his charm. But, no, I still don't like him."

She was almost falling for his charm. Could he be one of the guys that Bella would have to chose from? If that was so, she would chose the other guy, no doubt. There was no one Bella hated more than Edward Cullen. It didn't help how he acted when it came to the alleged pudding dumping she did last semester.

"Sounds like you are going to have one interesting year ahead of you! Speaking of that-"

"Hey, Alice, I got to go. Dinner time. See you tomorrow."

Ugh! I had the perfect opening. Dumb dinner.

"Bye!" I said before she could hang up. I knew she had that dinner with the Black's tonight. She loved those dinners. More than being the editor of the paper. They were like family to her.

So, somehow I have got to figure out how to tell her. Maybe sometime this weekend. Though, my grandma is coming to visit me. But just during the day on Saturday. Maybe we could make it a girl's night.

I jumped off my bed and headed into the kitchen to see what I could throw into the microwave. I really needed to figure out how to tell Bella.


So....how did y'all like it? Let me know! Review!
