Yay! I updated!
R&R
I would own Twilight if I could, but I can't, so I don't.

"Bellayou'realivetoo!" I shouted, screaming up and down with joy.
"Now this is confusing. How are you both alive? Why are these dead people popping up in my life?"
"Well, Alice, then I'll have to start back from that day, about 50 years ago…" Edward said.
Edward spoke with one arm around Bella's shoulder, protectively.
They looked so perfect together, like two halves of the same person. They were always together. They probably didn't notice, but whenever one person moved, the other would do the same unconsciously.
Edward protected her from everything, though she didn't need it. He was the other half of Bella's soul, and it pained to watch them together.
It reminded me of days past, when I still had my other soul, too. But now he was gone.
Bella and Edward were lucky. They have their happy ending, when the prince finds the princess again. But that wouldn't be happening to me. My story was a tragedy. My prince had died, leaving me stranded. But he will live on through me, I thought to myself. I will live on. I will do everything he didn't, do it for the both of us. And maybe, just maybe, one day, I'll see him again.
Edward's voice broke my through my thoughts.
"I guess you know the story up to the point when the family died," Edward said, talking more to Bella than to me.
Bella nodded, a look of love on her face. Love that wasn't mine.
"A few months before, I had gone home because of all the family's pleadings. Though I didn't really care what happened to me anymore, it hurt me to hurt them. Even though I was there at thier new house in Jordan, I wasn't really there. My mind was where you were, in the past." Edward said.
Bella looked surprised and sort of angry that Edward wasn't happy because of her.
"Edward, damnit! You were supposed to be happy without me. Angels shouldn't be tied down to something like me. They shouldn't be sad." Bella vehemently replied.
"Bella, I could say he same for you," Edward told her back.
It was almost funny yet maddening to see them like that. Arguing about pointless things. Like I used to do. A long time ago, I was Bela, and now I know, too late, that if I were back to that day again, I would appreciate it so much more.
It's like when your grandparents tell you about how life was like "in the old days…" Now I know.
It made me almost angry to just see them argue, throwing away what I didn't have.
"Edward, please continue with your story," I said a little icily.
Edward sensed what I was thinking and how hurt I was inside, and continued.
"Well, I got angry. Very angry, and I couldn't contain myself. So to stop myself from hurting anyone or anything and disappoint my family, I ran into the forest to let out my anger."
"I was wondering why all the animals were behaving strangely, like they were scared. So it was you," I commented.
"Yes, I guess that was me. You know the rest. I got home nearly at night, only to find all my family dead. Gone. With only ashes in their place," Edward spoke, trying to keep his face composed."
I could feel myself breaking apart. Jazz was gone, as Edward said. He wasn't coming back.
I sobbed tearlessly for a few moments before allowing Edward to proceed.
"Later, I went to Volterra to kill nyself. Aro found me and convinced me to join. I thought, oh, well, death doesn't make a difference. It won't put me with Bella again, anyway. It just doesn't seem fair that I only get one life with Bella. Only one chance on this mortal earth, and when it's gone, it's gone forever. There is nothing else left of me. Nothing. It's just as if I never existed." Edward solemnly said.
I couldn't believe how well he put it. My chance here was over. Gone forever.
But there was a point I disagreed. I did have another chance. After we die, we have to go somewhere. I believed that if I have enough will, I know that one day, maybe I'll be with Jazz again.
I wrote this chapter to see the other side of the fairy tale. Everyone always talks about Bella and Edward's love. I wanted to show a little of Alice.
