3 years later
It had been three years. Three years since her world had fallen apart. Three years since her heart had been crushed. Three years since he had left her bent and broken.
Ever since he had left Alice had been an empty sell, her fun loving self was gone, and he had taken it with him the day he left, along with her heart and soul. Alice couldn't remember the last time she had spoken, even shopped. She only fed when her family absolutely forced her to, she saw no reason to though, feeding only sustained a life that she no longer wished to live. After he had left Alice had either destroyed or hidden anything that reminded her of him, pictures were burned, object thrown out windows, things were broken, perhaps the only thing she had hidden away was a picture of them on their wedding day. She didn't know why she had decided to save memories of the best day of her life on the worst day. Maybe it was because she still had a sliver of hope that he would come back to her, he would come back begging and explaining how he couldn't live without her, telling her that it was all going to be okay.
Alice walked mechanically through the house from the kitchen, Esme had greeted her with the usual hug and the whole family had said their hellos and such. But no amount of love or openness they could give her would bring him back, make her feel better. She felt bad for putting them through all this, for making them live with this misery, but she couldn't help it and she'd tried to leave on multiple occasions but they wouldn't allow it, they loved her and wanted to be sure she wasn't going to die. Her small feet made no sound as she walked up the steps to her room where she spent the majority of her time, normally no one bothered her, they had given up on having conversations with her a while ago, but apparently today was different. She turned her head slowly to look at the door as it opened slowly to reveal Edward; she just turned her head away again. She loved her brother, but she was extremely jealous of him and really all her family, they all had someone that loved them in their life and she had, no one. "Alice? Alice we are going hunting in an hour or so, you have to come." In her thoughts she was telling him that she didn't feel like it and wasn't thirsty, but he knew better. "Alice. You are going whether you want to or not, you need it and we all know it." It was true actually; she hadn't been hunting in at least a month, maybe more. Alice sighed. "Fine Edward." She heard him sigh before exiting her room, knowing that he would get nothing else out of her.
True to his word, an hour later Edward came back up to retrieve her, reluctantly, she followed him down stairs and into the backyard where her family waited for them. Alice tried to block out the view of the backyard by watching her feet as they moved toward the forest, this was the last place she had seen him and it was the only thing she couldn't get rid of because, well, she could exactly pick the house up and move it to a new backyard…As soon as they reached the trees she took off a head of her family, open to finding any scent of any animal that would satisfy her thirst. Finally she caught a scent that made her pause. A bear, an extremely strong scented bear, Alice took off toward it, curious as to why it was so strong. After running about 3 miles she found her bear, freshly killed on the forest floor, and what, rather who, was standing over it made her gasp. "J-Jasper?"
