I probably should have waited to do the Christmas special there, because now I have to do summer. So I decided to make it a flashback! I really do appreciate reviews.

Year Three
"Bella are you fucking kidding me?" Alice hissed. Bella and Alice were currently fighting over something petty again. Bella and Alice have been fighting non-stop for two weeks. Angela and Leah were getting worried that they would break up. Bella slammed the front door. Angela and Leah took that as a cue to leave and practically ran out.
"Alice shut up. Go lounge around somewhere, that's what you do best." Bella pushed passed Alice's short frame and headed to the kitchen.
"I don't lounge around! I work. I am sorry that I work third shift at a shitty little grocery. Is that what you want to hear? I am sorry okay?" Bella popped her beer bottle open.
"Bella you shouldn't drink as much as you have been lately." Alice whispered. For the first time, Alice sounded vulnerable. Bella snorted.
"Why do you give a rat's ass?" Bella rolled her eyes and headed to the couch. She felt Alice place a hand on her forearm. Bella's blazing gaze pierced Alice's.
"Please put the beer down Bella." Bella looked at Alice. The supposed love of her life. She really looked at her. The woman was thinner, there were dark bags under her eyes and she looked sad. Bella almost cracked. Instead she took a swig and sat on the couch.
"I hate fighting Bella." Bella ignored her. That was when Alice stepped in front of her and slapped her hard. Bella's head spun in the direction of the hit. She held her cheek and looked at Alice.
"Listen to me! I don't want you drinking because I almost lost you once before to cancer! Is this how you treat your second chance? I am sorry your dad died Bella. I wish I could be there but you won't let me in dammit! I am sorry. I just don't want you to do something stupid." Alice had tears falling from her closed lashes. Bella was too stunned for words.
"My birth mother was an alcoholic Bella. You know this. My dad was abusive. I didn't get any relief! Then they finally fucking died Bella. Soon Esme and Carlisle adopted me. I was ten. I still have the scars. You know them. You've seen every single one. I can't deal with this again Bella. I-I'm leaving." Bella sat there on the couch as she heard Alice pack. How could she have been so ignorant to the fact of Alice's past? The front door opening and closed knocked her from her trance. She stood up and ran to the door just as the cab pulled away. Bella stood out in the street watching as the tail lights slowly faded. Bella called her cell phone. It rang once before Bella heard the voicemail.
"Alice, please come back. I am so sorry. Please baby, come home. I…I'll do anything." Bella tried again with the same result. She headed inside and laid on the bed. It smelled of Alice. Bella didn't realize she was sobbing until her throat went sore and her tears dried up.

Alice had ten voice messages and probably three times that many text messages. She broke down at the last voice message. Alice was in the motel just outside New York.
"Alice. I know you get these. I am so sorry. I..I threw out all the alcohol. I have been sober for two weeks. I miss you. I need you in my arms. Your scent is leaving the bed. Once its gone I feel like you will be gone forever. Please come home. I can't lose someone I love again. I need you here with me. Its where you and I are destined to be. Come home. Please. I…" There was a choked sob. "Can't go on much longer. I won't commit suicide but…I'm lost. I don't know what to do."
Alice hung up the voicemail after that. Bella sounded so broken. She looked down and saw she got another call. It was Angela.
"Hello?"
"Alice. God Bella's a wreck. What she did was stupid, but you leaving was stupid too. She needs you." Alice looked at her shoes.
"How is she?" Alice asked Angela.
"She…she's bad Ali. She won't eat much. She doesn't sleep. She almost fell asleep driving. She's lost so much weight. It's a shell of who she was. You two may have fought, but listen, she loves you. That is without question."

Bella slowly got out of bed to answer the door. Angela and Leah were both gone. They went to the spa. Of course they asked Bella, but the girl refused.
"Bella…" Alice breathed once she answered the door. Alice had her bags and was back. Bella was stunned. She expected her to never come back.
"I'm sorry." Bella croaked. Alice dropped her bags in the doorway and enveloped her in a hug.
"Baby, don't ever be sorry for mourning. Just promise me you won't drink unless its social." Bella nodded.
"I'll do anything you want. As long as you stay with me." Alice kissed her softly and backed her up into the bedroom just off the front doorway.
"What are you doing?" Bella asked.
"Showing you how much I love you." Bella kissed her back hungrily. Alice pulled away and pushed her down on the bed.
"This is about you not me." Alice pulled Bella's shirt over top her head and kissed each inch that was revealed. She dipped her tongue into Bella's navel and kissed it before pulling her sweats down. Alice noted the girl was going commando. It caused Alice to giggle against her stomach. She kissed Bella slowly. She slid her fingers into her slick heat and Bella began to rock against the fingers invading her. Alice made eye contact with her and didn't dare break it. She wanted to see Bella unravel.
"Let go." Bella came with a silent cry and gripped Alice's shoulders.
"That was…" Bella breathed.
"Amazing." Alice whispered. They giggled and held onto eachother. Alice waited for her to calm down and licked her ear lob.
"Too sensitive Alice." Alice chuckled and relaxed against her.
"I love you Bella." Bella smiled softly and nuzzled Alice's neck. She didn't have to say it. Alice already knew.
