A/N: sorry it took so long to put up this chapter. My internet keeps going out. Anyway, heres the chapter, hope everyone enjoys.

I had to talk to Alice as soon as possible. I quickly ran downstairs and grabbed the phone.

"Bella, where's Jake?" Charlie watched me from the living room, clearly sensing my nerves.

"Oh, he had to leave. He was showing off and left through my window."

"Figures, that kid is always showing off." Charlie turned back to watch whatever game was on the TV.

"Hey dad, do you mind if I call Alice? She left some things here she might need." Hopefully he still liked her.

"As long as he doesn't come with her, I have no problem with that." Charlie never even took his attention away from the TV.

"Thanks dad." I quickly dialed her number.

"Hello." It was Jasper.

"Hi Jasper, its Bella. Can I talk to Alice please?"

"No problem, she's right. . ."

"Bella. It's about time, I've been waiting for you to call." Alice said quickly.

"Do you think you could come over here. You left some stuff." I wasn't sure if Charlie was still listening.

"No problem, but he won't like it."

"I really don't care what he likes anymore. See you soon." I hung up the phone and headed backup stairs. Hopefully Jake would be back before Alice showed up.

When I got to my room, Jake was already sitting on my bed.

"Bella, I'm sorry about that, but I couldn't risk anything." He was clearly upset that he had almost lost control in front of me.

"Jake, don't worry about it. Umm. You might want to leave. Alice is coming over to talk." Hopefully he wouldn't have a problem with me still being friends with her.

"What, that bloodsucker is coming here." I guess not.

"Jake, she's my friend and I need to talk to her. I trust her as much as I trust you." I walked over and sat next to him on the bed.

"I don't like it Bella, but I'm not in control of who you spend your time with. I want you to call me and let me know that you're safe once she leaves." He took my hand in his.

"I promise Jake." My voice was weak, but I managed to finish my sentence.

Before I could say goodbye Jake was up and headed out the window. "She's here. Bye Bella, please be careful." Then he was gone.

A quick knock from the door told me what I already knew, Alice was here.

As I headed down the stairs, in true Bella fashion, I fell. Nothing broken, so I was alright.

"Bella, was that you."

"Yeah dad, I just fell."

"Good to have you back Bella." With a chuckle Charlie re focused on the TV.

I quickly headed over to the door and let Alice in. She hopped into the house and went in the living room to give Charlie a hug. Those two always got along. After that was finished we headed upstairs.

"So Alice, how long are you guys staying?" I wanted to get strait to the point, no small talk.

"We're not sure Bella. As long as Victoria is still out there, we're staying." Alice had a smirk on her face like she knew something that I didn't, but than again this was Alice here.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about her." I plopped down on the bed.

"Of course you did Bella, you've got too many things on your mind right now. And just so you know, the rest of the family knows everything." Alice danced over and sat next to me on the bed.

"Everything, so they all know about your deal with them. That you agreed to turn me." I couldn't help but look into her eyes, waiting for her to respond. They were black as could be. "Oh Alice you must be hungry, why didn't you go hunting?"

"First off yes they know all about that, Carlisle is already working out a plan. Edward is dead set against turning you. He thinks we can think of some other solution that doesn't involve killing you."

I was surprised to find that it actually hurt when Alice said that. I mean I knew that Edward didn't want me anymore, but did he really hate me that much. I know that he told me that he loved me and that he only did what he thought was best, but I thought he was just trying to keep me away from Jake. Before I even let myself start thinking about that Alice's voice snapped me back into reality.

". . . Second, I knew you would be calling so I decided to stay here and wait for you to get around to it." Alice added with a triumphant smile.

"Of course you did Alice. So what am I supposed to do until you guys figure out a plan?"

"Bella, you're a part of our family, no matter what Edward did or does you will always be a sister to me." She gave me a quick hug then continued. "You're not safe by yourself with Victoria around so one of us will be around you at all times."

"I don't need a bodyguard Alice. I managed to survive on my own while you were gone." I knew that was a weak answer, but I had to try it anyways.

"If that is what you call surviving than you really do need help. But I see your point, you will be difficult if I force this on you. You have to understand something Bella, we all love you and don't want to see anything happen to you."

"I love you guys too Alice, but I don't know how much of him I'll be able to take." I was on the verge of tears again, but I did not want to cry over him anymore.

"Everything is going to be fine. I will see you tomorrow at school, just try to stay out of harms way until we think of a plan."

"Alice, thank you. I just want you to know that I'm not going to be difficult on the whole turning thing. You made a promise that you have to stick to. I know that Edward doesn't want me to be part of your family, so once you turn me I'll leave you guys alone." My voice started to shake at the end and then the tears started to fall.

"Bella, we're not going to turn you unless there is no other choice. And if we do change you, you are part of the family so you will stay with us. Sometimes you are just too naive for your own good."

If Alice was telling the truth, than it would make things a little less complicated. But how awkward would that be with Edward. If his family still wanted me than he would have to deal with it. An eternity with the man that I once loved, who no longer wanted me that way, that would be interesting.

"Thank you Alice, it's nice to know that you still think of me as family. I missed you so much. It's going to be so much fun with you guys back. I still haven't seen Emmett or Rose."

"Well, their out hunting now, but you can come hang out with me after school. I promise I'll make him leave until you're gone."

"I don't know Alice. It's his house it's not fair to kick him out of it." I really wanted to see everyone, but I don't want to get too used to them being around if their just going to leave again. I turned to look over at Alice to see her reaction to what I had said, but she was off in one of her trances.

"Alice." I waved my hand in front of her face.

As she came out of her trance her face lit up with a huge smile. "Okay, your coming over tomorrow, it will all turn out fine. See you later." With that she quickly hopped of the bed kissed me on the head and pranced her way downstairs. I heard her say goodbye to Charlie then leave. I still wasn't used to her doing that.
