A/N: Antsy much? I think so! What would a good Twi-fi be without a little anticipation? (I made a new word! Twi-fi!) Anyway 365 days is a long time. Especially for someone as accident prone as Bella is. But what fun would there be in making everything perfect?

You better love me... I was going to make you wait till tomorrow night to post this. That means I expect many reviews (looks fiercely at you)... please (puppy dog face)

Chapter 33

My head felt as if it were going to explode. Edward's cool lips pressed against mine and I no longer doubted whether or not he loved me. There was pain, love, devotion, and sorrow in his kiss. It was like he would never see me again. My breathing stopped and the world swirled around me. Then everything went black.

A wiser man wouldn't have kissed her. Too bad I'm an idiot. I channeled all my pent up emotions in the kiss. There was no doubt anywhere inside of me that I loved Bella. She was my everything. This entitled me to protect her though. I couldn't, no I wouldn't ask her to die for me. She had so much life ahead of her.

I was brought out of my thoughts as Bella's lips pulled away from mine. "She's fainting." Alice shrieked.

The realization of how close she was hit me. "He's loosing control." Jasper's didn't have to tell me. My instincts kicked in and I lunged toward her before I knew what I was doing. I hit the ground with a loud crack and I looked up to see that Carlisle and Jasper had shoved me to the ground before I got a chance to take a bite at Bella.

Bella on the other hand was unconscious in Alice's arms. Part of me was worried but then again part of me was happy that she didn't catch my instincts taking a toll on me. I couldn't believe I snapped at her. I could have killed her.

I quickly pulled myself off the ground and started to back away from the others. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I kept telling myself.

It's not your fault son.Carlisle thought.

I shook my head. "I don't want to hear it. Goodbye for now. I don't know when I'll see you again." I thought for a second and then stared right at Alice. "Don't tell her if you can help it. It's too painful for her to understand." I turned on my heel and disappeared back into the Denali house.

When I woke I was staring at a white ceiling. The bed was too comfortable to be a hospital bed and the room was too quiet to be the Denali house. I sat up but regretted it when my brain swirled around all sloshy. I held my hand to my head and tried to steady my thoughts.

The night slowly trickled back to me. I remembered the dresses that Alice and I were wearing. I remember walking down the stairs and then dark cloaks. I didn't understand what was going on. Then a cloaked man. Someone else was there too. I tried to focus my thoughts but it just brought on another headache. Then it came to me… Edward.

"Good morning Sunshine!" Alice danced into the room.

"Hey Alice, where are we? And what happened last night?" I questioned her as she handed me a pill with a cup of water.

"We're at the hotel. You don't remember?" She asked me.

I downed the pill and the water. "Nope, bits and pieces. But not enough to make sense of it."

She seemed rather happy about this. "Oh well that's okay. You had a lot to drink."

I shook my head. "No, I didn't have anything to drink."

Her eyebrows furrowed. "Yes you did, then you passed out. Don't you remember?"

"How long is he going to be gone?" I asked her hoping she wouldn't avoid the question.

"A long time." She hung her head in defeat.

I smiled weakly. "Figures."

Her tiny hand rubbed circles on my back as she slumped down next to me. "Don't worry, it'll all work out."

I looked at her in the eye. "Thanks, but what and I going to do until then?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. I have a feeling we're going to be bestest best friends though!" She proclaimed gleefully.

I wrapped my arms around her small form and gave her a tight hug. "Thanks Alice."

That's when I noticed the sharp pain in my left wrist. "Ouch!" I screeched and carefully let go of my other hand.

"You okay?" Her face was full of concern.

I nodded. "Yeah, just a little sore."

My phone vibrated on the side table and it caused me to jump. Alice laughed at me before taking the cup and walking out of the room. I leaned over on the bed and grabbed my cell phone not bothering to look at the caller ID.

"Hello?" I asked still a little groggy.

"Bella? Where are you?" Jake's worried voice came over the phone.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. How are you doing?" I felt bad for completely forgetting he was home sick.

"Fine, where are you?" He asked again.

"Alaska?" I whispered hesitantly.

"Alaska? What the heck are you doing in Alaska? Who are you with?" He went ballistic.

"Chill Jake. I came for personal reasons and I'm with Alice. You don't have to worry about me. I'm a big girl." I rolled my eyes.

"A Cullen?" He growled.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I didn't understand what he had against the Cullens.

"Did you go to find him?" He asked.

I had almost completely forgotten that he knew about this. All of this and he didn't say anything. "Yes, with no help from you." I huffed.

I heard a crash and then the dropping of the phone. Billy's voice was in the background. "Not again Jake." A growl like that of a large dog seemed too close for comfort.

"Jake? Are you there?" I could hear crashing here and there.

"Jake will have to call you back." Billy came over the phone. "Be careful Bella." He warned me.

I hit end on the phone and fell back onto the bed. What was up with everyone telling me to be careful? What did Sam and Jake have against the Cullen? Was there something I was missing? Probably. I told myself. No one bothers to clue me in to anything.

"Everything okay Bella?" Alice's perky self leaned over the bed to look at my face. I'm sure I looked stressed.

"Sort of." I sat up and patted the bed next to me. "Cop a squat."

Alice gave me a weird look and then plopped down on the bed next to me. "What can I do you for my deary?"

I had to smile at her tone. "Why don't the people in La Push like the Cullen?"

Her smiling face turned into a frown. "Long time family issues. It's a long story."

I knew she was trying to avoid the question. "I've got time." I assured her.

She sighed. "I'll tell you on the drive home. Put on your clothes." She pointed toward the chair.

"Um Alice, those aren't my clothes." I tilted my head trying to find out why she would want me to put on someone else's clothes.

She sighed. "Yes they are. There's a mall down the road. You were out for a while so I decided to do some shopping. There are more bags in the car.

I shook my head. "I can't accept these."

She sighed. "Yes you can. I already bought them. Besides, they won't fit me since I'm too short."

I went to protest but she held up her finger. "Either you accept the clothes or you don't hear the big secret."

However unhappy with her decision I was I had to go with it. Something told me that I wasn't getting the whole story between La Push and the Cullens. I also wasn't stupid enough to think I would get the whole story from Alice.

I decided to take a quick shower and when I got up I pulled on the white underwear and the tight white jeans. The jeans flared at the bottom just the way I liked them. Next I slipped a black tank top over my head and then pulled on the white jean jacket. I was thankful for the black flats that she had picked out and it didn't take long before Alice was back in the room. She ordered me to brush my hair and then she clipped my bangs back away from my face.

"Do you have everything?" She asked before we left the room.

"No, I forget my cell phone." I ran back inside the room and grabbed my cell phone and the charger.

I was trying to stuff my cell phone in my pocket when it started vibrating. The front said I had a new text message. I flipped the phone open and then message stopped me in my tracks.

From: Jake

Don't get in the car with her. I'm coming to get you. Don't leave with her. Please.

I couldn't believe Jake. He didn't even know her and he was trying to tell me not to get in the car with her. I actually really trusted Alice although I just met her. I couldn't believe Jake would stoop that low.

"Everything okay Bella?" Alice asked the question once again.

I flipped my phone shut and shoved it in my pocket. "Yeah, let's go."

A/N: So, will Edward go with the Volturi? Will Jake be ticked because Bella left with Alice? I don't know… all this and more will be revealed in the next chapter! Stay tuned for more. (Or just add this to story alert.)
