Esme's POV
When Alice has her 'visions' its very noticeable, at a first glance it seems like she's daydreaming. But when you get a closer look you can see her eyes rapidly moving back and forth as if she was sleeping. Once she snaps out of it, she tries to hide it. But by looking at people she can just tell who saw her.
That's the daytime visions. She says those aren't that bad, usually about something that would appear on the news, like a robbery, or a little girl getting a heart transplant. Apparently they're not all that scary and that its nice to know what's going on before everyone else.
The ones she has while sleeping are a whole different story.
She describes these as nightmares that you can't wake up from. That sometimes she feels pain in them, and everyone is screaming at her. Those are almost always people out to get her. Friends from school, doctors, serial killers. These visions are the ones doctors worry about.
Which is why Carlisle and I ran into Alice's room as soon as we heard her yell.
She was curled up on the floor rocking back and forth whispering "Leave me alone, let me go, no, no!, NO!" She woke up and burst into tears.
Carlisle knelt down beside her and started rubbing her back in slow gentle circles. "Shhh" he said softly. "It was only a dream, you're alright."
Alice turned away from him. "No" she said, "Its not alright, you don't even understand. No one understands! I'm always teased and pushed around by everyone! I have no friends! Doctors treat me like I'm five! Just leave me alone!"
I sank to the floor holding back tears after hearing that. "I know its hard, honey. But things will get better."
Alice sat up and glared at me. "Get the hell out of my room!" she yelled "I want to be alone!"
The words stung like peroxide on a cut, but nevertheless I stood up and Carlisle and I left the room, shutting the door behind us.
