I know, I suck.

I'm sorry for the very short chapter. It's the shortest and it will stay the shortest of this story. Promise.
I've been to a seminar for the past 4 days, a small excuse but I didn't want to let you wait much longer so I thought I'd post this as a separate chapter.

So here you go.

EPOV

Chapter 6

"What the hell is wrong?" I asked as I walked into the living room just to see Alice on the couch bawling her eyes out while Rosalie sat there, obviously fuming. Her arms were crossed and her face an angry mask. I had heard her and Dad arguing just a moment ago, something was off.

Silence met my question before Rosalie huffed loudly and got up.

"Better say your goodbyes." She muttered while bumping into my shoulder as she stormed past me. Another sob escaped Alice as she too left the room. Something inside me clicked and I felt a heavy weight being dropped onto my shoulders. This couldn't be happening, not again. Suddenly the girl's reactions seemed so obvious, like I should have known what was happening right away. –It had been like this the last time as well.

Alice had quickly regained composure last time, she was devastated to leave what we just started to call "home" but when Mom and Dad told her where we were going she started getting excited –that's something I always admired about Alice, she just couldn't resist being curious and happily excited as well as being optimistic. But even I felt that the constant move that had been going on during the last year was starting to wear her down. It's like we all just wanted to settle –get accustomed to a new place, a new school, new people. But now – we were moving, again.

The thought of moving, of going through this process yet again, after only a month… it was frustrating me and I absolutely understood Rose's reaction.

"Just tell me why." I pressed after only a few seconds. I looked him straight in the eye –he needed to realize what he did to us by moving. This wasn't just something that affected solely him, we should have a say in this.

"Edward, please." He answered calmly. "It'll be the last time for a long time, I promise. –"

"You said that before." I interrupted quickly. I wasn't taking his lies.

"I know, Edward." He answered just as willfully. "Eleazer told your Mom that I could work at the hospital up in Seattle. She knows that it's a lot to ask of you kids but she wants us to be near family. Eleazer and Carmen also need help with Benjamin and we think that we could support them. –We know this is hard but it's not that far away from here, you can still keep in touch with friends –" I stopped him right there, not caring for the rest of his words. The reason was all I needed to know.

"Nonsense. You know that won't happen! How are we supposed to befriend anyone with all this going on anyways? –You know what? Never mind, it's not like we're having a say in this anyway!" I broke off, knowing that I was being very harsh and starting to act out of place. My Dad was a very gentle and composed man, a great Dad but he was a man who asked for respect and I knew my lines. I took a deep breath to calm myself "And when?"

"A few months. Four, maybe five." I nodded curtly before starting to head outside. He called after me but there was no way we could continue this talk like civilized people. I needed a timeout.

"I'm kidnapping her."

"What?" Alice asked bluntly as she looked up to me from her bed, apparently confused.

"I'm going to take Bella to Port Angeles today."

"Um… I'm confused. How come?" She asked and sat up, cross-legged while padding the spot next to her. I did her the favor and sat down.

"I asked if I could have some time with her since you are usually with her and she agreed. So I thought I'd take her to the movies." A smile tugged at her lips suddenly. "What?"

"Nothing." She answered sweetly, showing her teeth in a full blown smile.

"Alice… what? –Tell me." I knew it couldn't be anything good if she tried to keep it from me.

"Fine." She giggled like a school girl. "Do you liiiike her?" She asked in a sing-song voice.

"What? No!" I answered automatically. "This isn't supposed to be a date. I mean –I like her but I don't like her. At least not right now. I don't even know her, Alice." I explained. I wouldn't exclude the possibility that I could fall for her, because she was beautiful and smart but she also seemed so fragile. There was part of her that I didn't understand.

"What a bummer!" She pouted playfully. "You would have been cute together." I laughed at her silliness but internally I was tempted to tell her that it would be a disaster to fall in love now, just before we were moving away, I didn't want to remind her of that though.

"Does she know?"

"Know that I'm going to take her to the movies today?" I asked. "No, but I don't think she will decline. At least I hope she won't…"
