Author's Note: NEW change of plan. yes i'm very indecisive. Edward, Alice, -Every vampire in general, IS a vampire. However Edward never had to tell Bella. It simply hadn't arisen to tell her. Yadda yadda. Stephenie Meyer owns everything, i'm just messing with her characters. Also I have changed back Edward and Bella's ages. They are actually 17 and 18 again. Just got out of high school. (I know its odd that they are married young but still.. It has to be that way so Eddie poo can still be a vamp. :) Thanks for reading and enjoy:

I fell asleep shortly after remembering about the hospital. It still upset me that no one believed me. Edward Masen was real. Someone would know it.

Picking up the notebook next to me I flipped through it. It was one of those large, refillable journals. I had received it on my 16th birthday from my mother. I filled it with memories. The first page from the day she gave it to me, the last page about my dream. It was sloppily written- seeing as it was around 3 when I wrote it. I must have slipped back into sleep soon after. It was now 7:30.

It was only about a month or so after the accident. I twisted my hair into a loose bun to keep it out of my face while I wrote. I had to go to work at 8:30 at Pandora's Box- a clothing store owned by Alice Whitlock and Jasper Whitlock. Of course, Alice was there nearly all the time. She and I had become decently close friends. She always looked at me with this weird, creepy smile like she knew something I didn't. I hadn't been to work in the month since the car crash but they, of course, were kind and considerate about the ordeal. It was my first day back.

Although Jasper was never at the store, he stopped by once and a while. My guess was to make sure that Alice wasn't forcing me to try on new creations and into strappy heels that could be considered deadly weapons. So I quickly applied a small amount of light brown eye shadow and clear gloss, put up my hair, and drove my faithful red truck to the shop.

Once I arrived I saw Jasper and Alice gazing into each others eyes lovingly. The look made me bite my lip as it reminded me of.. him. I cleared my throat as I stepped inside and smiled weakly at Alice and Jasper and they both smiled brilliantly back at me. Alice sprung up and skipped to my side- a gesture that seemed out of place so early in the morning- and looked curiously at me. She rocked back and forth on her heels, looking like she wanted to say something. I began to arrange the register to my liking and glanced up at her.

Her small, five-foot frame topped in a dark brown-black spiky pixie cut, beamed back up at me.

"Yes, Alice?"

"Oh," she paused, as if she changed her mind about saying what she wanted, then changed again. "I.. just wanted you to know I'm here for you if you need me and so is Jasper even though I have a feeling everything is going to be alright. If you ever need me or Jasper you have our numbers, of course. Like I said, have a hopeful outlook on life though because I'm sure everything's going to be alright Bella!" The little pixie seemed to rocket through her entire speech and she leaned over just as quickly and hugged me tightly, then- realizing it was probably odd to hug your employee, backed off again.

"Thank.. Thank you Alice. And you too, Jasper. It means a lot to me- you know.. that you are here for me," I stammered as they both smiled at me.

"Yeah. No problem, dear Bella," Jasper said quietly.

"Oh, and Bella?" Alice seemed to chirp the words.

"Yes?" I looked at her curiously.

"I was wondering if you wanted to maybe have a sleepover or something like it this weekend?"

I quickly nodded and focused back on my work. A sleepover? With my boss? Well.. I mean we were young.. She was around 18 or 19 I assumed, and Jasper didn't appear to be much older.. But still.. Sleepovers? Kind of weird. Oh well, it IS Alice.

Alice wouldn't stop looking at me for most of the day.. One time it even looked like she was looking at a dress but at the same time a million miles away. After her little odd "I'm-a-million-miles-away-right-now-please-leave-a-message-after-the-beep" look, Jasper appeared by her side almost instantaneously and looked concerned. Finally she looked at him like she was about to cry as they spoke a billion words per minute in a rushed conversation.

"She isn't safe... I'm not sure.. No it wasn't exactly a clear sight.. Yes.." I heard bits and pieces of Alice's side, while Jasper on the other hand was being much too quiet for me to hear without leaning or walking over. I wonder who she meant by 'she'? I wondered.

Then, Alice glanced out of the corner of her eye. At me. In that single-second look everything became clear. I was the 'she'. Alice then pranced over to my side, still seemingly perky.

"Hey Bella.. Your house must be awfully lonely now isn't it?" Okay, now I was getting curious.

"Uh... Yeah.. I guess.. I'm adjusting.. Sort of." I just had a way with words today.

"Well, Jasper and I happen to have an extra room at our.. house," she giggled for some odd reason at that moment. "And I was wondering if maybe you'd like to temporarily move in, or something."
"Well.. I'm not sure.."
"Oh, Bella! Please, please, please? It would be amazing!"

"Maybe.. I would have to deal with my place.. And do some work.. And pack and stuff.. But I guess that-" I was cut short as the pixie erupted into speech.

"Oh! Bella! I'm so excited! We can finally be roommates! This weekend you can bring all your stuff and have a sleepover to last months! Oh, this is perfect!" She ended quietly as Jasper touched her shoulder, probably warning to tone it down.

I continued working thinking about how I'd get all my stuff. My house was already fully paid for by me and I didn't really have an issue with money. It was Wednesday so I had a very limited time.. Although I also had very little to bring. Most of my things were not needed.. I didn't want to move anything out of our room.. My room now.. It killed me to think of him as gone. It killed me even more to move anything, because in my head it was all a dream. I would wake up one of these days and my beautiful, perfect God would still be lying next to me, rubbing my back because I was apparently screaming in my night terrors of losing him.

Sadly that was a fantasy I knew I couldn't indulge in at work. I would start crying if I kept thinking about it.

So I quickly finished work that day, went home and watched television and relaxed. Thursday and Friday morning went by easily. Then at work on Friday I was helping a costumer with an outfit. I thought I was doing okay. But the dress.. It had a sapphire colored stone in the middle, under the bust and either side of the bust was green. Emerald green. It killed me.. It reminded me exactly of the ring I left at home in my ring box. I bit my lip hard and tried to steady my voice and tried to make the transaction as quick and painless as possible.

"Miss, this dress is absolutely lovely. Would you like to buy it?"

"Hmm..," she seemed to pause forever. Every second was killing me, my raw heart was twisted around a jagged knife and it was ripping me to pieces. "Yes. Yes I think I would."
"Alright, miss. Right this way." I lead her to the cash register and quickly made the sale and slammed the register shut, slipping into the door behind me, which lead into the storage room. I walked quickly to the back of the room until I was nearly lost in the twists and turns and I curled up in a ball, grasping my sides. Tears quickly slid down my cheeks and over my nose onto the cold, hard cement floor. Then I finally released my quivering lip.

I screamed. I screamed for minutes, I sobbed, I choked on my tears, and I shook.

I also knew for a fact the storage room was completely soundproofed from the store. So I kept screaming. I was completely physically numb. I was mentally unaware as well.

So much so was I out of the universe, I didn't realize when I felt two, strong, cold arms around me. I kept screaming. And as soon as the strong arms rocked me, I screamed louder. The arms.. So cold, strong.. So familiar. I couldn't even look. I couldn't breath. I couldn't move. I heard voices in my ears telling me lies.
"You're alright. I promise."

"Please, it's going to be okay."
"Bella, please.."

"God, her pain.. It's killing me."

It could have been seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, or eternities since I entered that store room. I was still locked inside my mind. My body didn't feel like mine. I was gone.

My body was still tightly curled into a ball, and I slept. I could sort of tell someone was carrying me somewhere. Let them. I prayed they would kill me. Slowly, I drifted off to sleep, completely uncaring that someone was holding my body, moving me.

***

I awoke later to being on my bed. I awoke with a start not realizing how I got here. My heart began pounding. Oh my.. Pictures floated back to me. My Edward, he was gone.. No! It could have been a dream.. I flipped over, nearly breaking my leg in the sheets and I looked. No.. He was gone. I almost screamed again. But I didn't. I held it in. I could handle this. I could, I could, I could. My breathing was labored but I quickly calmed myself. I laid down on my back, my eyes clenched although a few silent tears still slipped. I controlled my breathing. And that's when I heard it.

The quietest scuffling coming from the living room. My door was shut and I was afraid to creep silently to my door to try and get a better listen. It sounded like one or two people. No one was talking though. I heard my microwave turning on.. Well that was odd. What kind of robber used the microwave in the middle of stealing? I decided to quietly get up now.

I breathed slowly in and out of my nose, hoping to make that at least quiet. I then tippy-toed to my door. I lowered myself so I could look under the door. My counter was in the way of seeing any shoes or people. I heard the microwave beep and at the same moment I cracked the door, the loud beeping blocking out the creak. I peeked though the tiny slit of my door..
