Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does.
A/N: I realized yesterday (after I posted Ch. 2) that in Ch. 1, I have Bella going to school, but she meets Alice by her truck. Then in Ch. 2, she turns around, walks in her house, and says; "Charlie, I'm home!" then talks to him (as you know if you read Ch. 2). I realize that that makes no sense. So just pretend that Bella went to school, said goodbye to all of her friends, and then came home to talk to Charlie.
APOV (Alice)
(A few days before the Cullen's leave Forks.)
"Edward, you can't do this!" I shouted at him.
"It's what's best for her, I can't keep putting her in danger like this. I'll never forgive myself if anything should happen to her." I could see the pain that this was causing him, but I couldn't let him get away with this.
"Do you know what this will do to her?" I started to look into Bella's future, but he cut me off.
"Alice, I don't want you looking in her future anymore. She will be fine with me gone. Please, Alice. Trust me, just this once." His pleading look was so filled with sorrow that I would have cried if I could.
"Fine, Edward, but you will be getting no help from me. If she gets hurt-"
"She won't. I'm telling her tomorrow, and then we will leave. Now if you'll excuse me, she is waiting for me. I'll see you tonight." Tonight?
"What do you mean tonight? You always spend the night with Bella." He always spends the night over there. What was going on? You would think that he would want to spend his last night here with her.
"Not tonight, I'll see you later." He left and I went back to my room, confused.
4 months later
I have been thinking about Bella for a while now. Edward has been sitting in his room since he got back, leaving only to hunt. I never found out what he did when he left, but when he came back, he was even more depressed than before. I have decided that it was time to talk to him, and if he wouldn't go back, then I would. I would see if she was OK, and if she wasn't, then I would talk to her. I would offer to change her myself. I carefully thought of something else, and went up to his room. He was sitting in the corner of his room with his legs pulled up to his chest, and his face in his knees, as usual.
"Edward?" I said as I walked into the room.
"What is it, Alice?" He didn't look up.
"It's been four months, Edward. You can't just sit in here forever. The whole family is worried about you! We both know that you will have to go back sometime. I just think that it should be sooner rather than later." I said. He looked up at me with a fierce expression on his face.
"I'm not going back, it's better this way, she needs to be normal. And it is very possible for me to sit like this forever, you know that as well as I do." He put his face back down.
"Edward-" I started.
"No." He said in a tone that closed the conversation. I walked out of the room and walked into Carlisle's office. He was sitting at his desk with a book in his hands.
"Carlisle? Is this a bad time?" I asked.
"Of course not, Alice. What can I help you with?" He closed the book and put it down, looking at me with concern.
"Well, I'll be leaving for a few months, but I'll be back. I just have to take care of something." I said. He looked confused.
"All right, is there anything I can do to help?" he asked.
"No thanks. I have to do this alone. Thank you, though. I'll see you when I get back." I gave him a hug and went downstairs. I said goodbye to Jasper, but I didn't tell him where I was going. I didn't want anyone to tell Edward, or think about it and give it away. I got in my Porsche, and headed to Forks.
