I was woken up at about 3 in the morning by my mobile ringing. I rolled half way out of my bed and sat on the edge, looking at my phone I saw it was Edward. I picked it up and pressed the answer call button.

"Hey Edward, What's wrong?" I asked groggily. He sounded panicked and scared. I could here crying in the background and screaming from someone that sounded like a boy. Possibly Edwards brother Emmet.

"Izzy!..izzy" he started crying, I became a bit more alert and panicked now, he never cried, not even when he got hit in the face by the car door yesterday.

"Edward? Baby? What's happening?" my eyes were starting to leak with tears that flowed freely. He gasped and answered quickly.

"Get down to my house! Quickly please I need you…. Bring Charlie as well. Please Izzy" he was crying heavily now.

I told him I will be down as soon as I can.

Hanging up and putting on a jumper and scarf, I ran down the hall and to Dad's room.

"DAD! We have to get down to Edward's house! Some things happened" knocked on his door.

Luckily he came out in a hurry.

"What's happened?" he asked me shifted his coat and belt on, did I mention that Charlie was a police cop? Yeah well you know now.

He slotted his gun into the belt of his trousers and ran down thee stairs with me.

We walked outside and into the car, driving over the speed limit to Edward's house. On the way I told him about the phone call I got from Edward about 20 minutes ago.

His house was down a long drive so it took us longer than expected to get there. When we arrived there were ambulances, police cars and a fire engine out side.

I could see Edward standing next to his Dad, Mum and brother.

His shoulders were hunched and his head was down. They were all wrapped in foil that the paramedics gave them.

I ran out of the car and up to them.

"EDWARD! What's happened?" I asked crying as I reached out to him.

He turned around and clung to me sobbing like a child. I hugged him to my chest as he let the tears come in violent shudders.

I sat him down on the floor with me and asked again what has happened. He was just whispering my name.

"Izzy, she's gone, she's dead" he whispered weakly. I was confused so I said to him,

"Who's dead Edward, who's gone?" I rubbed his shoulder as he replied.

"Alice, my little sister, she was only six, she was too young, help me Izzy" he cried more and let me sooth him. I crushed him to my body and rubbed his back soothingly.

"Ssshhhh Edward, baby it's going to be okay, you'll get through this, shhhh" I kept whispering to him in his ear. He wailing cries turned into little sniffs and soon he fell asleep.

About half an hour I sat there with his head in my lap, running my fingers through his hair. His mum, Esme came up to me then and gave me a small smile. I smiled slightly at her. She was first to talk.

" You must be Izzy, my son talks so much about you"

She sat down next to me and I blushed, looking down at Edward's sleeping form.

" Hey, yeah I'm Izzy, I'm so sorry about Alice" she looked down and sniffed but looked into my eyes.

"It's okay, something was bound to happen to us someday, I just wish it wasn't her life that we lost"

I put my arm around her shoulder and rubbed her arm.

"Do you mind me asking what happened?"

She nodded her head.

"Of course not, we have to tell people someday, and when he wakes up he is bound to tell you"

She smiled sweetly and began the story…

"Me and Carlisle were in the living room, Edward was in the kitchen with Alice. They were trying to make us dinner but it went wrong. They were going to light candles and everything to make it special. when they were putting the food on the stove, they left the gas on and went to light the candles. It all happened so fast, everything in there caught fire. Including Alice clothes and Edwards. He managed to chuck some water on Alice then himself but the tap stopped working when he went to put the flames out. The smoke was thick so me and Carlisle ran in there and got them out. We all ran out of the house but it was to much for Alice. Her lungs filled with smoke and she died shortly after in Edwards arms. They were always together, he loved her so much and kept him same, along with you of course, and she loved him, she looked up to him everyday and said she wants to be just like him went she grew up. It was sweet watching her say that but now….. Its just nothing."

she cried gently and leant her head on my shoulder.

I didn't realise I was crying until I felt something salty touch my lips.

"I'm sorry" was all I could say before she thanked me for listening and walking over to deal with the others, who were now with Charlie.

It was time to wake Edward up.

"Edward? Sweetie, you have to get up" I cooed him softly. His eyes opened and he immediately kissed me.

"I'm so so so sorry Edward" I held his face and kissed his tears away.

He sighed and shook his head at me,

"I'll be fine Izzy, 'I'll make it through this'" he quoted me from earlier.

He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.

He kissed me once more before standing up and pulling me with him.

We slowly walked over to the burnt down house and talked with the rest of the family before just standing in silence as they wheeled Alice into the ambulance to take her away. The Cullen's decided not to give her a funeral since it was personal and not many people knew about her.

They were staying in there other home they had here, it was a few houses down from mine, that's and coincidence.

We all said goodbye and headed home.

There was no point falling asleep now or going to school. So I just stayed at home and listened to music with Edward.

I really felt sorry for him and his family. But hopefully things will get better over the next few months.
