WE. REACHED. 400REVEIEWS! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm...woah, yeah, shocked. Crazy happy though.
Bella:
"That's the first time she's spoken in about 10 years," Edward mutters, sounding shocked.
I'm baffled at why Alice would choose me to speak to for the first time. Carlisle, Edward and Esme seem to share my thoughts, looking between Alice and me.
Then it hits me.
Suddenly, I understand.
Everything.
"You remember?" I gasp. How has she remembered this before I did? Alice nods in response to my question.
"Remember what, exactly?" Esme asks eagerly, looking to both Alice and I for answers. I glance at Alice; silently asking her if it's ok if I tell them. She's nods once again in confirmation.
"Years and years ago, when I was 13, I met someone online. It was on this fansite, I can't even remember what for. But, every day, we talked. Just about random things, about our day, about anything. It was probably about 4 months before we even shared our names, and even then, we only told each other our first names. I found out the girl I had been talking to was called Alice." There's an audible gasp from everyone, apart from Alice. She just nods for me to continue. "After another few months, we told each other our full names and ages. We even sent each other letters sometimes. Anyway, just after a year since we'd begun speaking, I noticed she was more distant. Less…happy."
"I still have all the letters," Alice mumbles, hugging herself.
"I do too," I smile at her, before continuing my story. "Finally, I managed to get her to talk about what was happening. She told me how she recently got a new boyfriend, but she felt forced into it. She didn't want him anymore, but he wouldn't let her leave him. I was worried, oh so worried, but all I could do was talk. I really am sorry, Alice," I tell her sincerely. We talked for a bit, maybe another year, but then she told me she had to go away, some place where we wouldn't be able to talk anymore.
"You helped me so much more than you'll ever know," Alice smiles, tears in her eyes. I think I have tears in my eyes, too.
"You never told us about Bella?" Carlisle questions, sitting next to his daughter on the sofa.
"When you said Edward was dating Bella Swan, I remember. Thought I'd be a nice surprise," Alice comments.
"You could say that again," Esme mutters, looking overwhelmed.
