Bella already knew going into school on Tuesday there was already going to be some drama. Angela had let Bella know that the article she was working on would be published and it would cause quite a stir. Edward wouldn't take this and Bella had a feeling he was going to confront her and Alice, since Alice didn't want to let Bella be alone with him.

"It's going to happen when we go into the cafeteria." Alice informed Bella as they hung out in the girl's bathroom.

Bella didn't want to admit it, but she was scared about what Edward was going to do to them. They were at school so the worries shouldn't have been so high, but there was only so much Alice, Julian, and Cynthia could do to protect her.

"How's it going to play out Alice?" she asked.

Alice sighed.

"Well if I'm not there, you're going to be bruised for sure before Edward will get called in. But no matter what he will be cold and cruel in his words."

Bella wrapped her arms around Alice and kissed her lips softly.

"There's nothing he can say that will make me be with him, I love you and he will never have me again."

Alice cracked a smile and stroked her cheek.

"Where does your courage come from Bella? You're not like any human I've seen in all my years." Alice murmured softly.

Bella smiled and answered,

"Maybe I just don't want to be back to that defense and lifeless state I was with Edward. I know he's going to be furious but eerily calm so as to not expose what he is to everyone. Maybe I'm more concerned with what he will do when we see the others tonight. It will be tonight right?"

Alice nodded since after Edward gets suspended, Carlisle wants a meeting with everyone to assess what they do about Edward and Bella. She couldn't keep tabs on just what everyone will think and say, which left her a bit in the dark about what will happen. Alice at least found comfort that Julian and Cynthia will be there to protect Bella as well if things got bad.

They made their way to the cafeteria and Alice locked eyes on Edward. Both vampires stared the other one down as Edward approached them, school newspaper in hand. He lingered on Bella and she crossed her arms, glaring at him.

"Now you've done it Bella...you just had to tell Angela lies didn't you?" Edward asked in a hurt tone.

Bella scoffed and shook her head.

"I didn't lie; you manipulated and abused me. Be thankful I told Angela to leave our names out of it. People need to know what abuse can be since I don't want anyone else to be treated like I was." Bella informed him.

Edward glanced at Alice and he read her mind.

You're going to be suspended Edward. Expect an announcement soon about it. Pity since I hoped for you to be expelled but some time away from school is better than none.

"Oh no I'll be suspended for 10 days, so what. I don't even have to graduate if I don't feel like it. We do this for Carlisle and not ourselves to do this every time we're someplace new." Edward hissed in a low tone.

"Carlisle sees you like a son and even this would make him upset Edward. How you're able to hurt us both and our family is just so distasteful." Alice told him.

Edward scoffed and replied,

"I'm sorry but you left the family to be with Cynthia and her boyfriend. You lost the right to be called my sister when you took Bella from me. We were just fine until I had you two meet. If I'd known this is what you wanted and were pestering me to meet with Bella, I would have never allowed that to happen."

Bella felt her anger rising and asked,

"Wow you really have no redeemable qualities. Do us a favor and stay the hell away from us. We want nothing to do with you and you've caused me so much pain. It's over Edward; Alice is who I want to be with."

Edward was going to grab Bella's wrist but Alice stepped in front of her.

"Careful, you don't want to do this here. Edward chuckled with malice in his voice.

"Oh I know since people are staring. How does it feel knowing you are trying to intimidate and hurt two women? People are seeing your cracks now." Alice mentioned.

Edward could read a lot of people's minds and they were muttering about how scary he was. What bothered him more was that they were calling him an asshole and a creep in their minds. Normally he wouldn't care about what the others thought, but the growing 'slander' infuriated him.

"If people knew what you really were, the whole school would be against you." Bella told him.

"Look, it's your word against mine and as far as I can tell, people are split on who the bad guy is. You can make this all end if you just admit Alice manipulated you and that we belong together. I can't promise your safety unless you tell me that." he whispered in a lush husk.

Bella almost wanted to slap him, but she knew all that would do was hurt her own hand against his marble-like face.

"I'm safer without you, after all weren't you the one who nearly raped me in the woods when I broke up with your ass. Get this through your arrogant skull, I never want to be with you Edward Cullen." Bella told him in a loud tone.

Edward gritted his teeth and he could hear mutterings from the people in the cafeteria. He was going to retaliate but he heard an assistant principal on the intercom for him to go into the principal's office. Alice smirked playfully and told him,

"Have fun talking your way out of suspension but you won't be able to. Carlisle is going to be upset with you." Alice told him.

Edward growled at them both before making his way to the office. Just then, Alice's cell phone was ringing and sure enough, it was Cynthia. Alice took the call and answered,

"I'm fine Cyn, no worries. Edward can't do anything here."

"I know he can't, but I still worry. We need to head to Carlisle's place after school to discuss this since Edward is becoming a problem to his own coven as well as our own."

Alice nodded and smiled softly.

"Thanks Cynthia."

"No need to thank me Alice, just keep Bella safe until we get there. Edward might leave after being suspended and go straight home but better be safe than sorry. See you Alice."

Alice hung up and turned her attention to Bella. She smiled softly and held her close, not caring who saw them in a lover's embrace.

"Everything's going to be okay Bella."

"I know they will Alice, you don't have to worry on my behalf. Edward is not going to change my mind and the rest of the Cullens are going to see we're mates and back us up. No way I'm going to be without you or you without me. Edward will not get his way, even if you need to rob me of getting my revenge before I have the chance to."

Alice smirked slightly and pecked her lips.

"Oh but that's a vision I want to come true, more so since he can't get to your mind to stop your advancements. Until then and thereafter, you'll be under my care."

They went through the rest of the day without any problems and word did get around that Edward was suspended for ten days. Alice actually was able to meet with Carlisle when Edward was picked up and they agreed to the meeting. He could tell that Edward and Alice's relationship was fractured and he wanted to understand in full what happened between them. When the school day ended, Alice and Bella took their cars to the Cullen's place. When they got out of their cars, Cynthia and Julian got out of their truck that they had parked in the driveway. Hugs were exchanged and Bella lingered at the house, thinking about what would happen once they stepped inside. Alice held on to Bella's hand and kissed it gently as they got to the front door of the house.

"Do you have an idea what you might want to say to Carlisle if he tries to maybe play down that we're not mates?" Alice asked

" I'm honestly not sure, Alice. Last time I was here there was an argument after I left. Now I'm here because of Edward and you again. I love you Alice and I know you're my mate, I'm just not sure what to expect from the others. I respect Carlisle but he will need to understand that what you and I have is genuine. It may not be what he grew up with or was taught, but our love is true and you are my mate" Bella said with a small smile.

Alice loved hearing the word mate coming from Bella's mouth and she was protective of her.

"Yes and this might be a little intense Bella. I'm not going to lie to you but Edward is really pissed that he's suspended and can't have you. Cynthia will bring you home if a war breaks out but I see that future as an unlikely one."

"I don't want you to get hurt because of me Alice. I'm pissed I still have to see him, but I guess I know he has to be involved" Bella said with a sigh

"Maybe for just a little longer, but let's get this over with. I just hope relations with the Cullens can still be maintained once Edward is out of the picture but for now, it's a bit like a war meeting." Julian expressed.

The four of them entered the living room and everyone was waiting. Alice missed Rosalie and Emmett since they had been away on their honeymoon, and they were happy to see her. Jasper hugged Alice and then he hugged Bella. He did flinch a bit at Bella's blood but he was calm as he pulled away. Jasper knew Alice was happier and he knew when the time came, he would need to help Bella. Esme also hugged Bella which made Edward angry. He glared at Bella which she returned with one of her own. His icy demeanor wasn't enough to chill Bella's anger and hatred and she wanted the meeting to be over and done with.

Carlisle looked over to Bella and was very unsure about what had occurred today. His son was suspended, his family was fractured, and it was all because of Bella. He cared for Edward but he also knew that humans were delicate and fragile beings, beings that should never know of their kind in their first place. This meeting was going to happen sooner, but he hoped that it would be Bella deciding to be a vampire as Edward's wife.

"Good afternoon Bella. I'm sorry you needed to be a part of this. Normally I wouldn't involve you in this, but it's been getting bad for us ever since you two….well came out."

Bella scoffed mentally since it was Edward's fault for that and not her or Alice. She tried to respect Carlisle since he was a reasonable and kind vampire, but he must have known that what Edward was going to do was anything but gentlemanly.

"I understand. I'm sorry I caused your family problems." Bella said

"Don't apologize Bella. Edward should be the one apologizing for stirring all this shit up. Besides, they didn't come out, they were dragged out by the asshole." Julian stated.

Edward scoffed, his eyes were growing darker with anger. He knew he could have done this whole scenario better without being caught but rage and passion blinded him.

"Anyone could have forged my handwriting and humans mistook me 'harassing' Bella as just wanting a civil talk. Not my fault humans can be stupid." Edward mentioned.

"Really no one at school saw any benefit of outing them besides you. By outing them, you hoped Bella would be ashamed and return to you like the weak person you want her to be. Sadly for you, Bella is stronger than that and is proud of who she is." Cynthia retorted coldly glaring at him

The room grew tense and no one spoke for the longest time. Alice knew he was reading the mind of everyone in the room to keep Bella in a place of weakness. This angered Alice and Cynthia since Bella was risking her life being around Edward but she too needed to be here to speak for herself.

"Let's not let Edward read our minds and have us argue mentally. We are in the presence of Bella after all, you know the reason you wanted to call this meeting." Julian expressed to both Carlisle and Esme.

Everyone nodded and the couple were brought up to speed with everyone. Carlisle remained neutral but Esme was distressed by what she heard. Her dear son doing this just to be with Bella, it was horrible to think about. He had been raised again by Carlisle and she knew her love would never instill those values and tactics in Edward Cullen.

"I want to understand what happened and why. I know Cynthia said Edward had a benefit of outing Alice and Bella, but why were the pictures taken?" Esme asked

"To add further shame to us both. Edward wanted to make me like a home wrecker and get Bella so ashamed to go back with him, despite the fact Edward never had a claim to her. I doubt he even loves her blood aside." Alice mentioned.

"Plus only someone supernatural could have climbed up the tree and taken the photos in Bella's room. Last I checked, only Edward did that and to sneak in on her while she slept." Julian added.

Esme didn't find Edward sneaking in Bella's room romantic, but instead creepy and disturbing. He didn't know Edward could be so much like a stalker and predator to an innocent human life.

"Edward I thought you were a gentleman, but what I am hearing. I wonder if what people started saying about you is true" Esme said clearly shocked and disappointed

Edward rolled her eyes.

"You're honestly going to believe vampire mobster Fabio here, who wants Bella for his harem and only recently adopted our diet?" Edward scoffed.

"Julian never denied feasting on humans, he never pretended to be someone he isn't not just to get me as his mate and he treats Bella as a sister. He's at least a man willing to change and accept things as they are, can't say the same for you. You're more of a monster than the rest of us." Cynthia retorted

Rosalie watched Cynthia with an icy glare.

"This is all Bella's fault. We were all a good family before she came along. Edward wants her blood and Alice clearly wants her period. Nothing good will come from her and she's clearly sentencing herself to death because of you two." Rosalie commented.

"Hey. Don't you dare blame Bella for your brother being an asshole. If he had not come along, Alice may have and you would have met Bella eventually anyway. The pull and desire of mates is that strong. You must know Edward's sick desire for Bella is the reason for the discord, not my sister or Bella." Cynthia retorted coldly.

They were always going to be at odds, both loved Alice like a sister and both didn't want to share that. However, Rose had to admit what Cynthia was saying was all true.

"I'm just pissed that Edward stooped so low to do this since now it's clear Alice is never coming back to us. Why is everyone in this coven just going on like Edward isn't the bad guy, he is and frankly, he's harming our lives here." Rosalie expressed and Edward glared at her.

"I think Carlisle is hoping this can be resolved in a civil manner and by civil meaning sweep it under the rug so he doesn't have to deal with the tough choices." Alice mutter softly

"Unfortunately, with Edward being suspended we need to address several key matters. The main one being Bella." Carlisle expressed, looking softly at her.

Bella held Alice's hand softly rubbing the back with her thumb. Alice, Julian, and Cynthia were on edge and so was Edward.

"Be careful Carlisle. Bella may be with Alice but she is not happy being around Edward understandably so. I don't think Edward and Bella can ever be together as individuals, let alone a couple. It is clear Alice and Bella love each other." Esme responded, throwing soft gaze at Bella and Alice.

Carlisle sighed and pensively thought of a few options, all of which angered Edward. He couldn't ignore that Edward was becoming more and more unruly and crazed by the day. Edward needed to remain with him so he didn't disrupt the humans or expose himself, but his actions were starting to alarm the town since Bella was the police chief's daughter. The one idea Carlisle lingered on made Edward furious.

"You want me to leave Forks and stay in Alaska!" Edward growled angrily.

This made Rosalie's smirk a bit.

"I say you stay in Alaska until Bella and Alice leave. Forget just the suspension time, just stay away until graduation. It's clear they don't plan to stay in Forks Edward so why does it matter if you can't stay here for a few months." Rosalie told him.

Alice liked that plan and so did Bella. Cynthia was thinking of her old places that would be good for her coven to life after Forks but Edward was not liking this.

"No, I'm not leaving Forks! We know this is a huge mistake if I leave." Edward hissed, glaring at Alice and Bella.

Bella rolled her eyes at his glare. She was not going to let him see her unsettled.

"Consider what you did and what you put Bella through. This is the nicest thing you can do. If you actually love Bella, you would do this and let her go. Bella is way past forgiveness at this point and the only way you can redeem yourself is to just make it so you never existed and stay away from her." Cynthia said.

"Yeah and so you know Carlisle, I was thinking our covens can be like family and cousins; but that is a huge no if Edward is in your coven. I know he might have been your first turn but you need to think of your whole family and not just him." Julian pleaded in a firm tone.

Carlisle said nothing and looked at Bella.

"Bella please don't take this as an insult...but do you really feel Alice is the one for you? Edward would be a much more suitable partner for you." he asked cautiously. Bella glared at Carlisle

" With all due respect I know that is a lie, I know you know Edward and he is like a son to you, but you clearly do not know him as well as you think. I do not love him. I love Alice and I know that she is the one for me without a doubt. She has been the best thing that happened in my life, and she is the one I see a future with. Even if Alice was not in the picture I cannot ever be with Edward. I am a lesbian. He prayed on my insecurities and weakness to make me love him. Now that I am free from his entrapment and spell, I vow to never love him. He's abusive, manipulative, and just an awful man." Bella admitted meeting Carlisle's eyes without fear as she took Alice's hand.

Esme and Jasper studied the two women and locked eyes to each other, they nodded and shifted their focus to Carlisle.

"Carlisle the matter is clear. Without a doubt, Alice and Bella are tied together as mates. Edward's continued meddling is going to get him and the coven in trouble if this continues." Esme told him.

Cynthia smiled looking at Bella and Alice. She felt proud for helping Bella become who she is. Yes she was Alice's mate and it was a bonus but she cared for Bella too and seeing her finally be free and becoming the woman she wants was a huge proud big sister moment in a way.

"You are right Esme about that. The Volturi as well have strict rules about mates and Edward is on very thin ice. Which is why we need to discuss the issue as a coven, well the two covens since it's clear Alice wants to belong to her sister and Julian and her mate is involved. Any suggestions on how to resolve this." Carlisle asked.

" Alice will always be one of my children. I love her even if she is not my daughter by blood. I knew this day would come eventually. I know Alice is a strong woman who will need to venture away from us one day. We need to let her go to the coven she wants to be with. I am willing to welcome her should she and her coven choose to visit. " Esme said softly, though sadness was evident in her eyes.

Rosalie glared at Edward.

"We need to punish Edward though. It's clear this whole mess is his fault. I say he should leave. We care for him for sure, but I want more time here and Edward is making it hard for us all. I hate to say this, but if there's a chance for Alice to be in our lives I would rather have her than Edward. Let him fend for himself and maybe be punished by the Volturi if he can't keep his hormones, jealousy, and anger in check." Rosalie expressed.

"I agree with Rose on this one. Edward should leave and live in Alaska until Bella graduates and she and her new family leave and find their home wherever they chose. Having him here may cause us to be exposed. Afterwards, we will need to address what to do with him since...we all want Alice in our lives but she and Edward will always fight over Bella." Jasper said

Edward chuckled bitterly.

"To hell I'm leaving and if I leave, Bella is coming with me. She's mine and to hell with what anyone else says. Her blood calls for me and hence she is mine."

Cynthia shook her head

"You are narcissistic and dense. Have you not been paying attention? Bella and Alice are mates. I can sense Alice's scent on Bella. Her blood calling to you is you wanting to feed on her. She is not your mate and I will not let you hurt her or Alice" Cynthia said throwing glare at Edward

The family did in fact notice Alice had marked Bella and surprisingly, though faint, Bella was able to mark Alice even as a human. Emmett's eyes widened a bit but grinned at the revelation.

"Bella is a very freaky human. She marked Alice without being one of us. Wow this is very huge and this has to be legit special right?" Emmett expressed warmly.

" I belong to Alice, and Alice alone. She is my mate, my love and my future. What you and I had.. Wasn't even real." Bella said coldly, staring daggers at Edward.

"Enough Bella, you're going to make me very angry and upset. Was what we had nothing to you?" Edward spoke in a bitter tone.

"I wish it was just nothing but now what we had was sad, bittersweet, and frustrating. I will say this for the last time, I don't want you, I don't need you, and I'm never going to love you." Bella firmly stated.

Edward lunged with all his might towards her but Julian intercepted him and slammed him down to the ground. Edward was bordering on being feral and everyone was taken aback by this. Jasper couldn't contain Edward's rage and in fact he didn't want to in order to expose Edward's true and dangerous nature. Emmett looked very pissed at his brother, Rosalie scoffed bitterly at him, and Esme was disturbed at Edward's bared fangs and struggled to break free to attack Bella.

"Still want this bastard in your family? You saw what he was going to do. He was lunging for Bella." Julian stated.

"Get off me! Get the hell off me! Emmett get him off me!" Edward yelled.

"No way, you were going to hurt Bella bear! You really are an asshole." Emmett sneered.

Edward growled and tried to escape but Julian was very strong.

"If I get out of this, you're dead Julian!"

"You're zero for three Edward, I think my chances of living are golden. Shame I can't say you're golden anymore Eddie, you exposed how dangerous you are and how deep your blood lust is for Bella." Julian scoffed.

Esme looked at Jasper and then at Carlisle. This was a lot for her.

"I agree with Jasper we cannot have Edward risk exposing us because of his obsession. I know he means a lot to you, but for family's sake, please make the right choice" Esme said refusing to look at Edward

Carlisle still didn't want to accept that he needed to let Edward go off from the coven. He was his first member of his family and he didn't want him to go. Rosalie looked to Carlisle and she was pissed.

"What more do you want Edward, a photo of Edward trying to drain Bella's blood? Send him away and explain he's going to finish up in a boarding school to the town. You need to respect the coven, respect all of us." Rosalie argued.

"Yeah I mean sorry Edward but this is not getting sad and disgusting. She's not into you and sorry you're going to have to deal with the breaks." Emmett added.

Esme glared at Carlisle. She could see he was upset but this was about family not just Edward

" Carlisle you see what he is capable of, are you really willing to risk family safety?" Esme almost shouted.

Edward managed to break free of Julian's hold and approach Carlisle with an almost helpless and innocent look. He could read Carlisle's mind and decided to pull his charm to have Carlisle on his side.

"Carlisle, you know this whole scenario is ridiculous. A man and a woman a pair makes and you know this. You were the father I thought I would never have again and you've done so much for me. You worried so much about me and I can be happy with Bella. It's a risk, yes, but Bella is just scared that she will die and that's why she wants Alice to turn her and be immortal. Their love is a sin and shouldn't be. I don't want to leave the family and I know I've made mistakes, but I deserve another chance." Edward pleaded softly.

Carlisle was torn between his morals and Edward. He looked to Bella and Alice, both of whom were clearly meant for each other. What Edward said made sense, but it was not just him he needed to think about. Edward's actions couldn't be ignored and he looked at Alice and Bella. Alice and Bella were very touchy, warm, and very close; their eyes lingered and longed for each other. He could hear Bella's heart and it was calling for Alice. Carlisle sighed and looked at Edward with a concerned yet firm look in his eyes.

"I am sorry Edward; Alice and Bella are a pair. I may not agree with this but to my surprise it is true. Alice and Bella are mates and whether I agree with it or not, I made a vow to respect that. I want you to be happy, but Bella is not your mate and you cannot make her be one. It doesn't happen that way. You should spend some time in Denali with Tanya and the others, at least until Bella leaves. We can have a talk about you being a part of the coven again when you return; but until then I'm sorry but you need to leave us for time being." Carlisle said somberly

Edward glared at everyone and was ashamed of them. He looked at Bella and there was hate in his eyes.

"This isn't over Bella. I will have you and the vision Alice had for us will come true. I will leave for now….but I will find a way to claim you." Edward professed to Bella.

Bella rolled her eyes.

"A monologue of a villain.. Not your best." Bella said with snark in her tone.

Edward grinned slightly.

"I'm more of an antihero now. Because everyone is worried so much about the farce we live in, I will leave for Alaska for the time being. Forks however is my current home so I will be back. You better make sure there's someone watching otherwise in that split moment, I will have you." Edward replied.

Cynthia chuckled dryly.

"There won't be a moment. Until Bella is turned; Julian, Alice and I will watch her, after that Bella can decide your fate" Cynthia said with icy stare.

Edward chuckled as he ran upstairs to get his things and stormed out of the house in a fury. Julian sighed a bit of relief since Edward was gone for the time being. Bella nuzzled Alice's neck softly and this made Emmett smile.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen Bella so affectionate. She must be in love with Alice." Emmett grinned.

"Yes well now that everyone's seen this and Edward gone for now, let's finish this up. Bella needs to be home after all." Cynthia expressed.

"Right…let's discuss the covens. You and Julian are going to have one with Bella and Alice. Now if for some rare chance our paths crossed, would we plan for our 'families' to be connected in some way?" Carlisle asked.

"We need to establish where we will be and to have stability. Also there is an issue with Edward. For now since he is technically still family then no, we cannot risk our family either. However should Edward be out of the picture permanently, there is a possibility. Alice has been with you all for a lot longer and you are still her family so we can discuss holidays and gatherings." Cynthia mentions calmly.

"Yeah and I can see Emmett as a cousin so we can definitely have it be like Cyn being like Esme's niece or something if we end up in the same place sometime." Julian chuckled.

Alice smiled a bit since that could be an interesting idea down the line.

"Now Bella is going to be a vampire will she?" Esme asked.

Alice smiled.

"She will be yes. It was her choice and later on I will be the one to turn her." Alice said with a warm smile.

Rosalie looked at Bella and was concerned.

"Be sure what you're giving up. You can't have children if you go through with this."

She wasn't being a bitch, she just knew what she wanted but could never have thanks to her immortal life. She was making sure Bella knew that. Bella looked at Rose and she could see it was sincere concern. She smiled

"Believe me I know what I cannot have when I become a vampire. Alice and I have discussed this several times. Should we have children we will adopt, but that's a bit early to discuss now.

"And by adopting, it will have to be saving terminal teens by turning them or any teen that has met with a terrible fate." Julian informed them.

"Right, well right now we will focus on forming and stabilizing our coven, the rest we can discuss at another time since...We now will have all the time in the world once I become a vampire." Bella said with loving look at Alice

"Of course we're going to have a lifetime together."

Carlisle sighed but he opened his arms up to Alice.

"I cannot prevent what has to be. Just be careful okay?" Carlisle told her.

Alice gave him a brief hug before looking at the rest of them.

"Jasper, when the time comes….you will help Bella won't you?" she asked.

Jasper smiled softly looking at Alice and they hugged once more.

" I will do what I can to help the both of you" Jasper said

Julian nodded and he looked over at the Cullens.

"We will be in touch. If Edward by some chance decides to return, he better stay the hell from us. If he doesn't, I will be forced to break him."

Julian affirmed to Carlisle. As his coven's patriarch of sorts, he needed to protect his family and that included Bella. She smiled, feeling like she finally had a family. She wanted a woman she loved and Edward was gone for the time being.

The four of them left the Cullens and Cynthia smiled softly at her sister and Bella.

"I can take your car home Alice if you want to spend time with Bella. After this intense day, you need some couple time." Cynthia told them.

Alice tossed her keys to Cynthia and went into Bella's truck. They shared a kiss and Bella stroked her fingers in Alice's hair.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too Bella. Now let's go home and finish our homework so we can have our 'couple time'." Alice grinned.

Bella chuckled as she started her truck.

"A bit nerdy of you, but I agree. I don't want Charlie on my case on missing assignments. He's already going to be on my case once my motorcycle is done."

"He will be furious when he sees that but he will come around eventually and by that, I mean when you leave. Charlie will let you ride it, but not past dark." Alice foresaw.

"Maybe if I'm done this weekend, I'll pick you up for a ride."

Alice grinned softly and she added,

"Wear my leather jacket I got you and some tight jeans. I want you to go all out in your biker fantasy." Alice purred.

Bella nodded as they drove to her place, reflecting on the day's events. Edward became exposed to the school and to the Cullens. He will be away for some time but how long Bella didn't know. Nothing was going to happen to her since she had the Cullens, Julian, Cynthia, and of course her girlfriend Alice. Bella did have one nagging thought in her mind, something they were neglecting and she hoped it was just her worried mind and not something costly.
