"Alice!" I screeched. She leapt from the bed and ran to me. I hugged her so tight.

"Shh... You're going to wake Charlie." She warned.

"W-What are you doing here?" I said as I separated from her twiggy frame.

"I'm taking you on vacation." She half-heartedly smiled.

"Vacation?"

"Mhmm." She nodded. "Anywhere you wanna go I'll take you."

"Whoa, whoa, Alice, slow down, okay? Why are we going on vacation exactly?" I asked, confused.

"I missed you." She smiled as she brushed the hair out of my face.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"No." She shook her head but kept wearing her grin.

"Alice..." As I said her name her gaze drifted from my eyes. I could tell she was having a vision. "Alice?"

She finally came to. She shook her head and looked at me in a panic.

"We have to go, now." She pulled a bag out from under my bed. "Everything you need is in here, let's go." She grabbed my arm, but I protested.

"Alice, I can't just leave. What about Charlie? And Emmett? And... Everything..."

"Bella, please, don't fight me on this. We have to go."

"Are you going to tell me why?"

"I'll tell you everything on the way to the airport, I promise. But we have to go, now." I wasn't too sure about the trip and her sudden urgency, but I trusted Alice with every insignificant piece of me. I had to follow her.

We ran out the door, not worried about making any noise and out to Alice's sleek black car. I hardly had time to close my door and we were off.

I buckled my seatbelt. "You gotta give me answers." I said.

She adjusted herself in her seat. "I just had to get you out of Forks, to keep you safe."

"Safe? If this is about Victoria, she already came. She-"

"I know, I saw that little event. You know, she came with the full intention of killing you. I saw you die." She scolded in a maternal matter.

"But she didn't. She wanted Edward to hurt, not Emmett."

"And that's another thing we need to talk about..." I waited for more motherly scolding. "When exactly did you fall in love with my brother and what the hell were you thinking?"

"I don't really know... We didn't plan on it. It just sort of-"

"Wait." She said as she grabbed my arm. Her eyes drifted again, like she was having a vision. She cocked her head a little to the side before coming back to reality.

"You slept with Emmett?" She shouted in disbelief.

"I... I-"

"What?" She screeched. "How? When?"

"A few weeks ago... Wait, who are you watching, Alice?" She looked away from me. "Alice, tell me."

She looked uncomfortable as she swept her bangs away from her eyes. "Edward. Emmett told him about you two. He's not taking it very well."

"Wha- I can't..." My lungs were closing, my muscles tightening, my stomach sinking, my heart racing, my head throbbing, my skin trembling, my bones shaking, my chest aching. All of a sudden, everything hurt.

"So, he's here."

"Yes." Alice said.

"And you're keeping him away from me?"

"It's more complicated then that." I looked at her starting straight ahead. She was fuzzy with the tears brimming in my eyes.

"He's been reading my mind hoping that I was watching you. When he saw my vision of Victoria killing you he panicked. I called him and told him it was a false vision and that you were okay, but by then it was too late. He was already here. Then he couldn't help himself. This whole self-restraint act he was pulling, he couldn't keep it up anymore. He wanted to see you one more time and that's when he ran into Emmett."

"But I don't understand why we have to leave."

"Well now that Edward is in town Victoria knows that he really does love you. She would go right for you, Bella. She would do anything to see Edward broken like she is. All she wants is your blood."

"No..." I muttered. "He left. He didn't want me anymore. He doesn't love me. He doesn't..."

"Bella," Alice grabbed my hand. "He left to keep you safe. He loves you more then anything." Her words stopped my heart and shut down my brain.

"Bella? Are you okay?"

"No..." That was the last thing I remembered before passing out.

AN: I'm sorry this chapter took longer then I thought. I literally wrote the first line and my best friends randomly showed up at my house and said they were taking me dancing. It was so fun! Sure beat homecoming, let me tell you! And I'm sorry about the drama, drama, drama in the story. I know some of you don't like it. Just a few more chapters and all will be will... Maybe. We'll see! Haha, :p

And I want to give a very special Thank you to Kathy Hiester. She has been reading and reviewing my story from the very beginning. Thank you so much, you rock! :D
