Possibility

Bella fell asleep much quicker than she expected. She didn't want to fall asleep at all, though she agreed to herself that she's only human and she had the right to. The watch on the bedside table flashed '12.34pm'. Has she really slept for that long?

She was not used to this, she expected to wake up screaming in the middle of the night, pain in her chest as hurtful as it is and getting even worse, but…that didn't happen.

Bella only then realized that a pair of mesmerizing, golden eyes was staring at her, from close-up. Alice was right next to Bella, like she promised, and a feeling of sudden happiness came rushing through her at once, as strong as ever.

''Good morning Bella'' she said quietly in a soothing voice. This made Bella close her eyes and smile as she pulled in closer in Alice's arms. They accepted her and wrapped securely around her in a protective and caring motion.

''Thank you'' she murmured. Her voice was not quite the same; the excess of salty sea water in her throat must have done it. She immediately got thirsty. But she didn't want to move an inch from Alice's perfectly comforting, cold body. She missed everything about them. The look, the touch, the smell…their voices. Her voice. Her. And right now she wouldn't dare to move because she thought she will lose all of what she had now in an instant, like it's a dream. But even if it is a dream, it's the best one she's ever had. She was aware she would pay for it later, but she remained still, hugging.

''I'm not going anywhere Bella, you know that'' she announced slowly putting emphasis on the word anywhere. This made Bella more relaxed, and she felt her smile as she tucked herself into Alice's neck.

''I love you'' Bella whispered. The words just came out, before she was able to stop them, but she did not regret them. She knew Alice felt the same, exactly the same way.

There's a Possibility,
There's a Possibility,
All I'm gonna get is gonna be yours then

'I…love you too'' Alice said, carefully playing with Bella's soft hair. She smelt so nice, so unforgettable. And she knew she didn't want to be anywhere else either.

The warmth of her sleek body felt good against Alice's marble skin. She slowly traced her long fingers along Bella's arm, down to where her scar was. It felt warmer and even softer in that place. She continued touching Bella's skin lightly with the tips of her fingers. Her hand responded, slowly but eagerly, and their fingers intertwined. They both missed this so much. They were so close, so at ease and Alice let herself go.

She closed her eyes and breezily kissed Bella's cheek. A couple of times, each moving slightly closer to Bella's mouth which was now delicately kissing Alice's neck.

They didn't know what was happening, but whatever it was it was happening to both of them at the same time. Neither tried to deny this new feeling, it was too good to resist.

So they continued.

Bella's heart started to beat faster, and she was sure that that was okay. She missed that feeling far too much to stop it now. With each kiss Bella's head started to swirl more and more, and she found it hard to breathe. She took a deep breath in, filling her lungs with Alice's delightful smell which made her swirl even more, and exhaled hard into Alice's neck.

Alice felt her breath on her, so deep, she could not hold it off any longer. She didn't think and neither did Bella. Her hand let go of Alice's hand carefully, and held her face on the side.

Bella's heart beating so fast now, she didn't remember the last time someone made her feel like that. It wasn't butterflies she felt in the stomach, it was something much bigger, a more intense feeling, but she welcomed it because she knew it was good.

She looked up from her neck and glared into those amazing caramel eyes, which were so happy and excited but calm still.

She closed her eyes, squeezing them lightly and pulled Alice's face to hers, their lips millimeters away from each other. She stopped breathing, as she leaned in to capture Alice's beautiful, cold lips with hers. Head still swirling, she was hyperventilating but did not stop. And neither did Alice.

Soft tongues brushing against each other, exploring. It was unlike anything else in the world and Bella never wanted for it to stop, never.

Alice was very careful, and even though she felt like jumping on Bella she didn't and she remained calm, touching her warm body.

They continued slowly, as if a sudden movement was to ruin it all. Bella couldn't breathe for a long time now and she felt she was going to black out, but the feeling she had was so overwhelming, the kiss was so good and exciting she didn't want it to stop. But Alice already has. She pulled her face away, unnaturally quickly as she stared at Bella in worry.

''You look like you're going to faint, yet you're smiling'' Alice broke the silence with her attractive voice, not sure whether to smile back. Bella started breathing again, quickly now, and couldn't say a word. And it was true, she was smiling. Nothing she has ever felt, no other emotion could ever compare to this. As she tried to calm down she met Alice's eyes.

''I…I don't…Uhm…'' Bella bit down on her lower lip, empty of words in her head. She only wanted to kiss Alice again right now.

''Bella, you should get something to eat.'' she said with a different tone. Her eyebrows pulled together a bit, looking worried and slightly sad. Bella knew that she must have thought that was a mistake, never to happen again. How could this be? She finally found what she was looking for, but Alice wouldn't want her again after this. Maybe she could have waited longer. Reality came to her quickly as she pulled back and stood up, no longer looking at Alice. She was blushing, her face red but pain was also present. Alice didn't stand up, she remained still. She looked towards the window, now expressionless, staring into the forest, focusing on nothing. Bella knew she should leave now.

She rushed for the door, not looking back. She tried her hardest to stop herself from crying. She felt stupid, she thought Alice felt what she felt, but obviously that wasn't the case. And why would it be? It didn't make sense for him to love Bella so why would it be different with her?

Tears rolled down her warm cheeks, cooling them slightly, before she was able to stop them. She tripped, seemingly over nothing, and fell onto the cold bathroom floor. How much more tears did she have left to cry? She knew she needed to stop this.

It would never work. What was she thinking? She hugged herself, and curled into a ball on the white floor tiles. She was sure Alice was regretting what happened, yet she couldn't bring herself to regret it as well. And she was also sure now, that she fell deep in love with someone she could never be with. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, but tears found their way out through the eyelids anyway and hurried to join others.

Bella tried to think, but all she could do is cry. She flinched when she heard a quiet knock on the wooden door, which echoed in her still swirling head.

''I'm so sorry…'' Bella whispered quietly and was sure Alice was able to hear her anyway. She heard a soft brush against the door, as if Alice's back was sliding down the door to sit on the other side, but she didn't say anything for a long moment.

''No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I should have been stronger, and I shouldn't have let this happen. This is wrong Bella! We can't…We…Not now!'' she finally broke the silence, finding it hard to speak the right words. Bella's face lit slightly at the hearing of the last word. Did this mean that it would be possible in any other circumstances? The last word sounded weak, Bella was beginning to think that she may have imagined Alice saying that. But she didn't.

But this gave her hope. She didn't ask for it, it just happened. There's still hope!

''Jasper…Edward!...'' she whispered the last word softly, as if to be careful not to hurt Bella with his name. But Bella didn't care, not anymore and at least not right now. He took everything she felt for him when he left. She continued to be silent and decided that Alice should speak; she was afraid that if she tried to say something she would just break down and cry even worse.

''Do you not love Edward anymore?'' Alice asked curiously, waiting patiently for an answer. This was one of the benefits of being a vampire. They had that amazing sense of patience; time did not matter to them. But it did to Bella.

She had to try very hard to sound calm, as if she hasn't been crying.

''Not as much as you'' she closed her eyes as she answered, waiting. There was a long silence, and Bella decided to mimic what she thought Alice was doing behind the door, and sat along it in the bathroom. She touched the wood at a place she thought Alice's face could have been. When Alice answered it seemed so close now.

''Before I met you, I was fine. Just fine. And now, look at me! I'm a total mess Bella'' she answered quickly, making sure her name sounded soothing and loving.

''I am too. But we will work it out, I promise'' answered Bella confidently. The fact that it wasn't all lost gave her just the confidence she needed. She knew already things would work out. As long as they both felt the same way about each other, it would all fall into place, somehow.

The door opened slightly from the inside and Alice's hand slid in carefully to let herself in. She entered the bathroom and kneeled down beside Bella with pain in her eyes. She took her into her arms, held her tight, as she felt Bella's heart beat speed up once again. Alice knew what Bella has gone through, and she would never hurt her as long as she lived.

''I'll never leave you'' Alice breathed out looking at Bella's face, which now has gone lighter suddenly. She wasn't able to fight the feelings for Bella any longer. Alice wasn't aware of how long these feelings have been present, all she knew is that they were unleashed now, never to stop again. She tucked her in softly, hugging and kissing her, safe in her arms.

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You're the only one that knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There's a possibility I wouldn't know
