Hey guys, I got a review that stated the person wanted to know what happened in that time gap. I don't know how to go about doing it, but every two chapters is a year. After every two chapters it is another year. Its all I could think about that would help the time gap. Thank you for reading! This is a companion piece to Battling Uphill.
I own nothing guys. RATED T. Could change per request.
Year One
After that dinner, Alice made an effort to talk to Bella. Bella was the most sincere person she has ever known. Maybe that is why she is drawn in by Bella. It was finally the end of Senior year and they were at their own graduation. Bella was grinning holding her diploma, hat in the air. Alice smiled as she made her way through the crowd.
When Bella came over for dinner that night, Alice made a promise to herself that she would be with Bella, but the girl hasn't made a move yet.
"Hey Bella!" Alice called. Bella turned and saw Alice. She hugged the girl and spun her around. Alice giggled in her ear and hugged back.
"Congratulations Alice." She whispered as she set her down, not unwrapping her arms around Alice's small waist. Alice continued to have her arms around Bella's neck. They gazed into each other's eyes. Bella couldn't tear away from Alice's caramel eyes. The same with Alice for she couldn't stop staring into Bella's dark eyes. Alice marveled at how beautiful Bella looked.
Not too far away, Rosalie and the family watched as Bella leaned down and pressed her forehead against Alice's. Their eyes closed and smiles crossed their lips.
"Emmett, don't you dare mess up their moment." Rosalie scolded her boyfriend. He physically deflated.
"Alice…" Bella whispered. Alice couldn't take it anymore. She lurched forward and collided their lips together in a frenzied kiss. Bella's eyes opened in shock before returning it with vigor. The gymnasium cheered around them that finally the two girls were kissing. Even a blind person could see the love between them. Bella held the shorter pixie close and pulled away before nuzzling her neck.
"I love you Alice." Alice smiled and kissed Bella's neck. Bella hugged her before crying softly.
"I love you as well, my Bella."

Bella was in her apartment she shared with Angela and Leah. They didn't want to live on campus, but they all shared an apartment. The door leading into their apartment was outside like a motel would be. Leah Clearwater was dating Angela Weber and they were so cute together. Angela sat silently reading a book on wolves when Bella finally interrupted Leah.
"Leah, I do miss her, but she is states away at Yale." Alice and her continued to talk, but nothing became official after their kiss. They said they loved each other over the phone and Skype, but they never really said the question. Alice was the love of her life, yet they just kept it at arms length. Charlie supported Bella and Alice.
I wanna make you smile
Whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All i wanna do, is grow old with you
I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
So, it could be so nice growing old with you,...
Bella dove for her phone and answered the call.
"Hey Alice. Something wrong sweetie?" Bella asked tenderly. Bella knew it was nearing midnight where Alice was. Bella smiled at Alice's voice.
"Its new years Bella. Open your dorm door." Bella had confusion written across her face, but did as she was told.
There standing in the doorway was Alice Cullen. So beautiful with her rosy cheeks, black p-coat, with a white hat that had a ball at the top and a matching scarf. She had on black Ugs with white furry lining and dark blue jeans. Bella swooned.
"Hello." Bella grabbed her in a tight hug. The alarm clock in the room behind her struck midnight and Bella leaned in for a kiss.
"Happy new years." She whispered before kissing her gently. She pulled away and smiled. Alice was cold, but when Bella wrapped her arms around her, the cold was forgotten.
Come in, come in! It's freezing out there!" Bella ushered Alice inside before closing it behind her. Leah's head shot up and she looked at Angela.
"Angie, you never told me that Alice was hot." She said. Bella growled and headed to her bedroom down the hallway.
"The bedroom? So soon?" Alice teased. Bella rolled her eyes before sitting on the bed, pulling Alice down to sit on her lap.
"So, what are we?" Bella asked softly, her insecurities coming out.
"What do you mean babe?" Bella's heart fluttered at the term of endearment. She lowered her gaze and Alice finally understood.
"Bella, there is no need to worry." She said leaning in and kissing her cheek. Bella smiled and nuzzled her neck.
"Bella I need to go get my things. They are in the living room." Bella laid back with Alice ontop.
"Don't, rest sweetheart." Bella said as she drifted off into a deep sleep.
"Goodnight Bella. I love you." Alice said, and laid her head on her chest, listening to her heartbeat. She was so thankful that Bella was alive and never took for granted that heartbeat under her ear. Tears prickled her eyes as she kissed Bella's lips before rolling over on Bella's right side. She curled into her and Bella rolled over, wrapping her strong arms around her. Alice knew they would be okay.
