When I opened my eyes Alice was hovering over me, crying my name.

"Thank god..." She said as she placed her palm flat on her chest.

"What happened?" I asked in a groggy voice.

"We were just talking and you hit your head against the window. You started bleeding a little bit. I had to pull over." It was then I noticed that we weren't in the warm comfort of her car, but in the harsh chill of an empty road.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay, Bella. Humans bleed."

"Am I still-"

"No, the bleeding stopped. It wasn't that much. Can you do me a favor, though?"

"Yeah." I said, slowly rising to my feet.

"There's still some blood on the window. I would, but I don't trust myself enough." I walked a few feet to the car and opened the passenger door. It took me a second to find it. But there it was, a dab of smeared blood on the window no bigger then my thumb. I wiped it clean with my bare hand and stood there confused on what to do with it.

"Here." Alice said as she walked towards me covering her nose. She handed me a snow white handkerchief. I licked the corner of the cloth and rubbed the small amount of blood off of my hand.

"Is there any in my hair?"

"No. I got it all out."

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it." She smiled. "We should probably get going again." I wadded up the handkerchief and threw it in the ditch, then got in the car and Alice started to drive away.

There wasn't much to say for the rest of the trip. Alice hummed to whatever tune was playing on the radio and I pretended I was sleeping. I mainly thought of Jacob. What he was doing, what he was thinking, if he was thinking about me... Jacob was the only thing I could think about that didn't hurt.

"We're here, Bella." I faked a yawn and a stretch and got out of the car.

We walked right through the trail of dividers, made to make lines more compact. A young attractive light haired woman smiled at us as we approached the desk.

"Hi, How can I help you today?"

"What is the next flight out?"

"Well," The woman said as she looked down at her computer screen. "We have a plane leaving for Iowa in five minutes and another leaving for Pisa, Italy in about 25. If you choose the trip to Italy you'll have enough time to go through security and make it on time."

"Italy, how ironic!" Alice laughed as she looked at me. I had no idea what she was talking about, so I just giggled along with her. "Two tickets to Pisa, please."

"Alright, can I get your name and some form of ID?"

Alice pulled a small leather wallet out of her bag, opened it and showed it to the woman.

"My name is Alice Cullen." She smiled.

"Thank you, Ms. Cullen. You have very pretty eyes, by the way."

"Thank you!" Alice smiled.

The woman turned to me. I patted my empty pockets.

"I don't know where I put it."

"It's in your bag, I think." Alice sang. I rummaged through the small duffle and sure enough, my wallet was there.

"Bella Swan." I said plainly as I handed her my drivers licence.

"Thank you, Ms. Swan." She said as she handed back my ID.

"Will you be checking any bags?"

"Nope." Alice said, popping the 'P'.

"Your tickets should start printing in a second." A second later they did just that.

"Here are your tickets, Ms. Cullen and Ms. Swan. I hope you enjoy your trip."

"Thank you, eh..." Alice said trying to find a name tag pinned to her chest.

"Renee." I turned my face away from Alice and the young woman. Hearing my mother's name made my face go white. I missed her so much. I wanted her there with me so badly. More then I've ever wanted anything. Edward's touch, Emmett's arms around me, a hot showing on a cold morning, anything.

"Thank you, Renee." Alice smiled. She linked her arm in mine and we started walking to the airport security.

"What do you say on the way back we make a stop in Florida? We'll only be here for a day, two max."

"Okay." I choked.

We whizzed through security and arrived at our gate just as everyone was boarding. The plane wasn't very full. Alice and I sat in the very back by ourselves. She squeaked like a child as she asked me for the window seat. I let her pass me and sit in her desired place. Her posture was straight and exited. I rested my head on her shoulder. She turned to me and gave me a smile. Then she grabbed a pair of gloves from her bag, put them on her dainty hands and intertwined her clothed fingers with mine.

"Alice, do you mind if I sleep?" I asked.

"Not at all. You need your rest." She whispered sweetly. I felt the rumble of the plane start to move and closed my eyes. Sleep came shortly after we left the ground.

AN: Not a very eventful chapter, I admit, but things will be picking up soon. I just love Alice and Bella together, even though their reunion wasn't so smooth. Keep reading and reviewing! I love you guys!
