Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
After dinner, we all went our separate ways and I just got onto my computer. To say I'm addicted to my computer is an understatement, I'm always on it and shopping online.
Edward would laugh at me and say mean things like I'm a shopaholic, I don't need to go to a therapist to get help...do I?
I quickly brushed that aside and went onto , I love that store a lot because they always have cute little bags and accessories that I used to match my outfits whenever I needed something to balance the look out.
Just as I was about to buy this cute pink bow to go with my pink shirt I was going to wear, the doorbell rang and I fell off my bed from shock. No one really ever rang our doorbell because no one was ever really here to spend time with us or anything. I put my laptop on my desk and made my way downstairs to see who could possibly be ringing my doorbell at...9 o'clock in the afternoon.
My hands twisted the knob and the door flew open from the strong winds outside, I had to wrap my purple robe tightly around me so that I wouldn't flash whoever was standing on my doorstep. I looked up to see no one and stepped outside, looking around. Not much to see since it was dark outside, but I swear someone had just rang the doorbell. Maybe I was just hearing things or maybe it was just the wind, I guess that happened sometimes.
The door slammed shut behind me and I turned to open it, but it wouldn't budge. Oh man! Why do I always have to have the bad luck? Quickly, I ran through the side of the house and towards the woods. My grandparents had owned the house before us and when my parents got married, they built a small cottage tucked away in the woods. It was a gorgeous cottage and we never really went there unless it was an emergency and we couldn't get into the house or something of the kind.
I was shaking from the cold when I reached the front door, panting heavily and my hands shaking violently. My body pressed against the door and my fingers fumbled for the knob, once I found it the door flew open and I fell inside the cottage with a thud.
"Crap!" I hissed, rubbing my wrist.
A chill ran up my spine as I sat up, looking around the small cottage that had once been occupied by my parents. This is where Edward and I were born, a small tear fell down my cheek as I stood up. My mother hated hospitals since she was always in them when she was younger, she had a bad heart since birth.
Slowly, I made my way towards the bedroom and opened the door.
Dad hadn't moved a thing, it was still the way mom had left it before she left for her treatment. Clean and sparkly. It was her gift to him, but he was just so blinded by the need to have her live that he never really realized it.
I made my way over to the bed and sat down on it, taking one of the pillows and hugging it tightly to my chest. Sitting here made me wonder if anyone would realize I was gone tonight, would Edward not find me tomorrow morning and worry?
Edward, please don't worry.
Because if he knows me well enough, he should know that the first place I'd go if I had nowhere to turn was the cottage and he'll find me here if he does know. I laid back and slid under the covers, I could still faintly smell mom's perfume that were knitted into the quilts. I deeply inhaled her vanilla scent and sighed, the darkness couldn't come fast enough.
The next day, I woke to some movement and realized I wasn't laying down in the bed. I was in Edward's arms and in the middle of the woods, a gasp escaped me and he looked down at me.
"You're awake." he said, smiling.
I gave him a slight nod and a smile shot across my face, I knew he'd know where to find me because he was my big brother and he knows me better than anyone. Even my own mother.
"I knew you'd find me, the door closed on me last night when I went to answer the door. No one was there and when I went to go inside, it closed on me." I explained to him, smiling sheepishly.
He laughed, "I kinda figured something of that kind happened." he confessed.
Of course he did, I think he figured a lot of that things that always ended up being right or something. He was very good at reading people, too. Just one of his many talents, I guess.
As he walked with me cradled in his arms, my eyes began to wander around and take in our surroundings. The woods was gorgeous in the sunlight, all the flowers and plants seems so much more alive than usual. It made me feel happy that I was alive, the world held such beauty and people took advantage of that.
"Alice!" a familiar voice cried.
My eyes landed on dad who was racing over in worry, he quickly took me from Edward's arms and held me tightly as he shook with sobs. "Don't you ever scare me like that again, princess." he whispered, smoothing out my hair as he cried.
So long...so long since he's held me like this, cried with me like this. It felt new to me, like last night at dinner. I felt right and happy, but also sad that I made dad cry. "I was locked out of the house, I'm sorry." I choked out, my own tears falling.
We all went inside the house where Bella was sitting with Rosalie? They both looked up and ran over, "Alice!" they cried simultaneously.
Dad set me down and I was ambushed by my two friends, both of crying and fussing over me with worry and love. I just nodded, "I'm fine. Really, guys!" I said. That's when I heard him, "Alice!" his silk voice said in the mist of worry and sadness.
I turned to see Jasper rushing over from the kitchen, his arms quickly wrapped around me as if he had known me for ages. Rosalie and Bella watched with their mouths hanging open, "Are you ok?" he asked.
My eyes stared into his, "Yes." I murmured.
A blush covered both our cheeks and we pulled apart, he chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "We moved next door and Edward came over, asking if we had seen you. At first, we didn't know who he was talking about until he said your name. Rosalie was worried and stuff so I came over with her." he said.
In my translation it was: I was worried about you and Rosalie came over with me so I could wait for you to come home.
A musical laugh sounded throughout the house, "Jasper! You little liar, you were the one bugging out and about to look for her yourself." Rosalie accused.
His face became a bright red and he gasped, "No! It was you who wanted to come over, Rose!" he said back.
They began to bicker and I merely laughed along with Bella, it was interesting to see siblings fight because they reminded me of Edward and I. Whenever we fought, I would use the ultimate weapon. The puppy pout and eyes.
I always won whenever I did that.
A loud cough was heard the two stopped arguing, both of them turned and I looked up to see a man with blond hair standing in the doorway with a silly smile on his face. "You two never stop arguing, do you?" he asked, walking over to them.
"Sorry, dad." they said, smiling at him.
So this was their dad, he was a very good looking man and that's probably why they are so gorgeous.
A woman followed in behind him and she smiled, "Hello." she chimed.
Her chestnut brown hair was short and fell to her shoulder, her pale skin, and her breath taking brown eyes. She was like a goddess.
The man grinned and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "I am Carlisle and this is Esme." he said, smiling at us.
I hid behind Edward and knitted my fingers into his jacket, fear pulsing through every inch of my body. For some reason, I was afraid of Carlisle and I didn't like this bad feeling resting and bubbling in my stomach.
Esme looked at me and noticed something was wrong, "How about we go home? I would think that Alice would like to rest, yes?" she said to her children. Jasper glanced at me before leaving, Rosalie skipped over and gave me a quick hug.
"See you tomorrow." she whispered, running out the front door.
"I guess we'll see you all later." Carlisle said, leaving with Esme.
I just stood there, my heart racing in my chest as they left. Dad quickly locked the door and smiled at me, "How are you feeling?" he asked me. I shrugged and let go of Edward's jacket, "Ok." I said.
Edward slid off his jacket and put it over my shoulder, warmth attacking my cold skin instantly. I looked up at him and he smiled, "You must be freezing from sleeping in the cottage." he said.
I nodded and grinned, "Yeah..." I breathed.
Dad sighed, "I need to get to work...I love you guys." he said.
Soon, Edward and I were left alone in the big house. I didn't like the silence so I went upstairs and put on some music. Taking a seat on my bed and humming along to the song, it was Dear Angel by April Sixth. I love this song so much, it was amazing and one of Edward's favorite songs, too.
I fell back and began to sing along to the song when it changed to the song Beauty From Pain by Superchick. All these songs...I loved them a lot and they really showed a lot of emotion that I wanted to understand.
"I try to keep warm...but I just grow colder." I whispered, darkness overcoming me.
That's it for this chapter. I hope it was everything you guys thought it should be, please listen to these songs!
