Chapter 21- Alice's POV. – Flashbacks in Italic.


It was Christmas in a few weeks, and Esme wanted us to have a party, Esme wanted us to have a happy Christmas, what with everything that's been happening.

I didn't feel up to it.

I watched Esme hang up decorations, when I was thrown in again.

"This is for you, Mary-Alice, This is from me" A Young woman said, smiling at her husband before giving the girl a present. The Father's smile was strained, but turned genuine.

"It's a fashion book, Honey… since you're so creative!" The Mother said, beaming at her daughter's grin.

"Thank you Mama, I love it!" The girl cried, hugging her Mother and they continued giving out presents. Her Father smiled down at her before turning to Cynthia. The girl didn't mind, however, too thrilled with her gift to notice.

I felt Edward's eyes on me; I just shook my head at him. Edward, who had seen it, gave me a smile. That was a good memory, a fun memory… I just didn't understand.

I sat in the living room; Edward was playing a piano version of 'Teenage Dream' for Nessie because she loved that song. Bella was smiling at them both, as Nessie danced around the room, Jacob cheering her on. Jasper was researching with Emmett, Rosalie and Carlisle, and Esme was cooking food for the wolves. Bella started to hum along, and I started to sing the words. Edward turned and grinned at me. Jasper loved it when I sang, and I love this song, so why not?

Jasper, Carlisle, Emmett and Rosalie walked in and exchanged smiles. Esme hurried in and smiled, also. Renesmee turned to me, her eyes wide as I sang along with her Father's Piano. She started to clap along and danced to the beat. I smiled and threw myself into the song, feeling happy enough to continue. When I finished, the others clapped and cheered, making me laugh.

I looked over at Edward as he finished playing, and his eyes flicked to the door. I immediately understood what he wanted. He stood up and left the room, I followed a millisecond later, throwing a backwards glance to Jasper, who gave me a smile.

We had to stick together, Edward and I, it wasn't easy hearing voices or seeing visions of the future, Both Freaks in a world full of Freaks. We protected each other's secrets. We'd always been close, each of us understanding how hard it was to live with our powers, both of us having secrets that only we knew about. We've always been there for each other; having a bond that no-one in our family could really understand. Out of all of our siblings, we had the most sibling-like bond.

I followed Edward to the stream and looked at him questionably. He sat down on the rock and looked at me.

"I wanted to see how you were doing" he explained. I nodded, understandingly and sat down next to him.

"Not very well. I thought I was getting over it and then this happens" I sighed. I heard Careful Footsteps behind us and we both rolled our eyes. Of course, Our Family would follow us, hiding in the trees to protect us. "And to top it all off, I'm not getting any real visions" Edward's eyes snapped up to mine.

'What do you think's happening to me?" I asked him in my head. He looked thoughtful for a moment before sighing.

"I think once these memories stop coming around, your visions will go back to normal" he explained. I sighed, deeply.

"I hope so…. Right now, it just feels weird" I sighed,

"That's how I felt when I couldn't read Bella's mind" he smiled, making me giggle. "You'll get it back, trust me" I smiled and nodded.

"I'm not prepared for this…. I thought my visions would always be here, and now they've been took over by my Human Memories…" I explained. Edward nodded and placed a hand on my shoulders.

"Don't worry yourself over this, Alice. We'll just have to keep working together to figure out what you've missed. Don't worry, I got your back" he grinned at me. I laughed and grinned back, my smile showing that I had his back too.

I knew if I had missed anything, Edward would have picked up on it, he always did. He nodded back to the forest and laughed.

"They are watching us" he shook his head, glaring at our family in the distance.

"I know… It's a nice feeling to know that they're there for you" I smiled. He nodded and we walked back to the house, the others walking in behind us. Renesmee was there, playing Edward's piano and sighing. I looked at her, feeling confused. Jasper walked to my side and wrapped his arms around me.

"I want to sing to Jacob for his birthday… I don't know what song to do… I need help" she admitted, she suddenly gasped and looked at me. I giggled and nodded. Edward looked livid until Bella touched his arm and I caught his eye.

"Let her sing for him, It's sweet" I thought in my head. He sighed and nodded before smiling at his daughter.

"I'll help you, come on, let's go and find a song" I smiled. She smiled and grabbed my hand and we ran up to my room.

It's been said that Certain Memories should be left buried, never to be seen again, the bad memories can be buried for all I care… but as for the good memories, maybe I want to see them, see what my life was like as a child before the Asylum.

Jasper walked in. He went to my side and kissed my head.

"I love you" he whispered. No Matter How many times he tells me this, I still shiver at the words, and I know I'm always going to feel that way, because I'm so blessed to have someone as wonderful as Jasper to love me.

"I Love you" I smiled at him, loving the relief that shows in his eyes, whenever I tell him this. He smiled and sat down, pulling me with him as we listened to Nessie Chatter about the perfect song to sing.

I've realised that seeing my past isn't going to make me relive it. After all the past is the past.

What mattered now was what was right here with me, My Family.

They would make me strong and help me to get through this.

One Step at a time.
