Chapter 6
APOV
"Come on, Alice, quit sulking. It's been a couple days now. It's driving me crazy." It's true; I was driving Jasper crazy, but I couldn't stand the fact that my favorite brother left all over some girl.
"You don't have to stay in here with me if I'm driving you crazy." I was lying on the couch in Edward's room. I missed him so much. I even listened to his stereo, which he would kill me for if he knew I did.
"It won't matter. I can feel your depression all over the house. Besides, everyone else in the house is sulking, too."
"Then why don't you seem so broken up about it? And I mean true Jasper feelings not feelings that other people are having that you feel and act out." I was fuming. I didn't see how he could act so normal while the rest of us were sulking.
"Alice, someone has to calm everyone down. I really do miss him and I am depressed but I don't show it in the same way that you do."
"Whatever." I really wasn't in the mood for talking. I wasn't really in the mood for anything. I just wanted to sulk.
"I'm going outside. I need to get away from the misery." With those last words Jasper walked away leaving me alone in Edward's room. I felt like listening to music. I plopped off of the couch with a loud thud and practically crawled to the stereo to turn metal music on. I found the CD that said Rammstein. I didn't particularly like them but it was better than nothing. I pressed play and turned the music up loud and crawled back to the couch with the song 'Ich Will' playing in the background.
Edward, Edward, Edward. Why did you leave for such a stupid reason? The music was drowning out most of my thoughts since it was so loud. The song changed to 'Feuer Frei' which seemed even louder. "Bang, Bang. Feuer Frei!" I could feel the house shaking when it got to those words.
"Alice, turn it down!" I could barely hear Esme over the music but I could tell that she really wasn't in the mood for yelling. I decided that it would just be easier to turn it down than to have a scream fest with Esme when we were both mad and sad.
Once again I plopped off the couch and started making my way over to the stereo. I stopped half way because I was having a vision.
Edward pulled into the driveway. "This will make them happy. I should just face it like a man and get it over with." He was trying to reason with himself to come home.
The house came into view. "I guess I'm really home for good." The dashboard clock said 6:34pm. He could see Alice on the front porch jumping up and down with excitement.
I was brought out of my vision with Esme standing in front of me. She looked like she could have been in tears if it were possible. She had obviously turned the music down because it wasn't an ear splitting noise anymore. "Alice, I said turn it down."
"Sorry." I glanced up at the clock and it read 6:29pm. Five more minutes and Edward would be home; five more minutes and we would be a family again. I stood up in excitement and started jumping up and down then I got another vision.
"I can't do this. I'm not strong enough. I can't stay at home." Edward passed a sign that said 'You are now leaving Forks.' Edward was gripping the steering wheel so hard that it would probably have hand prints permanently embedded in it.
He kept on driving straight and passed a sign that said 'You are now leaving Washington.' He was driving his normal speed and from the looks of it he was going back to Alaska.
"Alice! Alice! Are you ok? What did you see?" Esme was holding me and shaking me trying to get me to snap out of the vision and tell her what I saw.
"No!" It was like losing Edward all over again. I threw my arms up in disgust and Esme dropped me by accident. I fell to the floor with a loud plop. Everyone rushed to the door to see what I was screaming about. Even Jasper came back inside to see what the problem was.
"Esme, what happened?" Carlisle asked her seeing that I was shutting myself away from everyone.
"I don't know. She was lying on the floor when I came in and I yelled at her and she said sorry. The next thing I knew she was jumping up and down, like she was excited about something. Then she had a vision and I caught her so she wouldn't fall on the floor. I kept screaming her name and when she came out of it I asked her what she saw and she screamed no and fell out of my hands onto the floor." Esme was panicking now because of my weird behavior.
"Alice, are you ok?" By this point everyone was in the room and standing over top of me.
I couldn't think. The only word that I could get out of my mouth to say was no and I kept repeating it. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." I felt waves of calm being sent through me from Jasper and my screaming turned into dry sobbing.
"Alice, what happened what did you see?" Carlisle was obviously concerned with my mental health since I was getting all moody.
"Nothing, I didn't see anything." I was still dry sobbing when I said this so the words were mostly broken up.
"Why are you crying like that if it was nothing?"
"I don't know. I just want Edward back." More hysteria was coming into my voice and I could feel another wave of calm.
"Jasper, take Alice to her room and let her just get all of this frustration out of her."
"Ok. Come on Alice." Jasper picked me up and carried me away. All I could do was lie in his arms and cry. Jasper put me down on the couch in my room and I started to calm down. Just as I was coming out of my mental breakdown I had another vision.
"Alice, I'm home." Edward walked into my room and went up to where I was lying on the couch.
"No, your not, you turned around and when back to Alaska. I saw it. I know you did." I wasn't even facing him. I couldn't handle turning around and not seeing him there. "I'm having a mental breakdown and you are just a figment of my imagination."
"No, Alice. I'm home for real. I'm not going anywhere. I felt a hand on my arm and was fairly certain that it was Jasper's so I didn't move.
I didn't know what that vision meant. Did it mean that Edward was coming home or did it mean that I was having a mental breakdown? I hoped with all of my might that it was the first.
