Persuasive

Edward stayed outside the house for a moment longer making sure Bella is inside safe. With one one last smile he took off speeding down the road, he had no idea where he was going. All he knew was that he had to go and clear his mind.

I am so stupid, how could I have just left and let her be alone, why would I think that would help anything? Now that stupid Jacob Black kid thinks she is free game. No she is mine. My love. How am I going to get that across to him?

Edward was now paying attention to the road and found himself in front of the school. He gave a slight smile.

This is where it all started.

He got out of the car and walked up to the doorway, it was locked, he sat down at the very table he a had asked Bella to have lunch with him.

This is where she accepted her most dangerous friend.

He smiled, how is it that if I'm the most dangerous of her friends, I'm the one saving her the most. Does that mean I am good for her? Does that mean she might actually need me?

At that moment he saw Alice walking toward him.

"Hey what's up?" Edward asked trying not to sound upset.

"I just saw you here and I wanted to make sure everything was okay?"

He loved Alice, she was that carefree but sensitive sister that any brother could ask for, even if he wanted to get rid of her sometimes. "Yeah I am fine, just thinking."

Alice placed a hand on his shoulder as she told him. "Edward you are perfect for her."

Edward looked confused. I thought I was the one who could read minds. He thought."How did you-"

Alice rose her hand to stop him.

"I know I can't read minds or anything but I do know you and I do know if something is bothering you, seeing you here at the school, at this table. I know who and what you are thinking about. And ever since Bella asked you to change her, you have been off."

"Alice I could not possibly change her, who in there right mind would want to give up on life and she has so much to lose that I could not take it away." Edward dropped his head shaking it.

"Edward, she loves you unconditionally there is nothing that she wouldn't do to just be with you...forever" Alice put an extra emphasise on her last word.

"You don't think I know that Alice? That is what scares me. She doesn't know what she would be giving up, she doesn't know what she is taking on."

"All right Edward," Alice stopped to think about how she should word this. "I have tried to be nice. I love Bella, she is like a sister to me and you refuse to make her oneof us. So I am giving you a week, or I will change her myself." Alice looked very serious.

"You lie! You wouldn't!" Edward didn't know what to say, he was so angry.

" I am not lying. I know that it is your dream to do it yourself, but you are taking too long. She is ready now, can't you see that?"

"You don't know how." He was just trying to find something, he knew she was bluffing.

" I do, Father showed me. I can do this just as well as you can." With that she stormed off into the night.
