Chapter 2: What Must We Do To Restore? Part II
… I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole…
#AN: Hey guys I'm so sorry for the wait but I really just need inspiration, thankfully XxKelleyxX and her story 'Age Doesn't Matter In Love" has given me that. I don't know if she reads this but if she does she and all of you should thank her for this chapter and if you don't read her story go do it NOW don't even bother reading this one because her is so so so amazing!
Any way thank you for all your kind reviews especially Ashfisher92 (Please don't hurt me) and Vel Angelus Rox I am planning on 'ripping Edward a new one' so don't worry. On with the show...

I was sitting on my bead over analysing the last ten minutes of my life with amazing scrutiny. Sh- Alice had gone to hunt promising me and reassuring me that she would come back. She had rushed of quickly after a long hug that may have fractures a few of my ribs but I couldn't blame her she seem so relieved to see me even more so than I because she thought I was dead. So that meant she had seen me jump she had been watching me then, had she been watching the whole time? or had that particular life threatening situation jumped out at her? and why hadn't she seen Jake save me? Before I had the chance to think myself into a comatose state I heard my window closing gently and Alice was cross legged on my bed in front of me.
I don't think either of us really knew what to say we kind of just sat there for I while doing nothing although I'm sure that Alice had seen me decide to talk several times.
"Bella just ask, please whatever it is you're changing your mind to quickly for me to see," she seemed so desperate and maybe frustrated to but I still struggled to ask what I wanted to know .
"Did you- were you- I mean could you see me this whole time, were you watching me?"
"Yes. I mean some times you would disappear and I would worry but you'd show up after a few hours. I'd be half way here every time you'd reappear eventually Carlisle came to the conclusion you were hanging out with the mutts. I'd heard you mention them a few times and he remembered how close Charlie was with a few of them."
Oh, I thought so she couldn't see the wolves? I wonder why that is?
"I was human so I can see humans and I am a vampire so I can see vampires but-"
"You've never been a wolf," I finished.
"Exactly," she said with a small smile. This new information had side tracked me from my original question had Alice seen me? Yes.
"So you saw me all those months, all the e-mails, the nightmares and you didn't do anything?" I knew I was getting angry but my most prominent emotion at the moment was sadness. She had seen my pain and done nothing.
"Bella please you have to understand none of us wanted to leave Forks not even Rose but Carlisle agreed with him he said that you should have a chance to be human and live out that life without our interference. We couldn't disobey Carlisle like that Bella he has done to much for all of us. It took me to long to realise that, I may have disagreed with my brothers actions but Carlisle took me in, made me a part of his family and he was reasonable. I was a...brat for lack of a better term to begin with but I cut a deal. I told them this would happen I told him, Bella but everyone said you would get over it but I saw you in the woods, and here in your room, screaming for me and for him. I couldn't bear it Bella seeing you like that but I wanted to show him that you wouldn't get better that this was what he'ddone to you by keeping us awaybut it just made him angrier, he-" she paused recalling the memory. There was something about the look in her eyes and the way she was talking about him that frightened me I wasn't I emotion that I think I have ever seen one her, hatred maybe but something had definitely happened.
"Alice what happened? You can tell me, please I want to know."
"I thought it would make him want to come back, I thought- He got angry Bella we fought and I know he wanted to kill me I saw it and then he left. He checks in every few months for Carlisle and Esme's sake but we haven't spoken. Everyone was angry for a little while not directly at me but more at the situation, Emmett and Rose kind of stayed out of the way, Carlisle threw himself into work and Esme practically sat by the phone waiting for the next call and Jazz couldn't stand to be in the same room as me half the time. He said the pain was too much. He wasn't happy when I left, he kept telling me to leave you be, let you get on with our life but I just- I had to come back Bella if you hadn't have nearly died I still would have, I couldn't take it any more."
She wasn't talking to him because of me. " Alice I'm so sorry," I couldn't believe what I'd done the were siblings sure but they were the best of friends as well.
"For what Bella? You're done nothing I should never have left I knew what would happen and I still went. Bella I promise you I'm not going to leave this time, they can either stay or that can returned but you're my sister too and I'm so sorry for what I've done." I had come into this conversation not really knowing if I was going to be angry at Alice for leaving or happy she had returned but I could both see and hear the pain and the sincerity in her voice as she spoke to me. She meant every word she was saying and that was enough for me.
"Alice I was in a bad place, I still am and Jake made it better for a while but I needed you. I mean forget all of this vampire and werewolf crap my boyfriend left me and I needed my best friend and you weren't there. I forgive you Alice really I understand now but all those things that I did the motorbikes and the cliff; at the start I was doing it to see him, I'm not crazy but I could honestly see him and here him begging me not to do it but eventually it wasn't about seeing him it was about you seeing me. I wrote you so many e-mails, I had so much that I needed to tell you. Alice please I don't care how selfish I am being right now but you can't leave me."
"Bella I swear to you I won't ever leave again. Wait... What motorbikes?"
"Oh well obviously you didn't see because I was with Jacob and you probably didn't see all of the stuff that happened with Laurent either did you?"
"Laurent?" Alice questioned with utter shock, "He came here, for you? What did he want?"
"He said that Victoria wanted revenge for James but that he couldn't help himself but it was okay because what he would do was nothing compared to what Victoria had in store for me. Jacob and the others saved me."
"We should have been here Bella, I'm sorry." God with the apologies again. I just got my best friend back and I really don't want to be walking around on egg shells.
"Alice no more apologies okay? It's been a long day, it's been a long few months. I'm exhausted and all that matters to me it that you are here right now," and I meant that. It wasn't like I was saying that I was over it just like that, a lot had happened and more than anything it just made all the more important that she was here.
"Of course Bella. Come on you need sleep and I guessing a lot of it," that was for sure I hadn't had a good nights sleep since the Cullen's had left.
"Alice?" I said quietly cautious of what I was about to ask of her.
"What Bella?" I had miss that; the way she said my name it wasn't like anyone else said it and now after all this time it still sounded exactly the same.
"Hold me," I wasn't sure if she would be able to, I mean she had obviously done it before but it had been a while and she may not of been able to cope with my sent. However in true vampire fashion with amazing speed and grace we were both under the covers of my bed, Alice's arms wrapped tightly around my waist from behind.
"Goodnight sweetheart."
"Night Ali," I replied to the pixie embracing me. I felt so safe and comfortable in her arms and unafraid of the nightmares that had hunted me for so many months.
#AN: So I hope you liked this chapter! Originally Alice and Charlie were meant to have a conversation at the end but I really liked the way this chapter ended plus I didn't want to drag on to much because I felt like there was a lot of repetitiveness in this chapter.
Anyway I will be sure to update soon, unlike last time. Reviews are always loved but don't feel obligated.
Sorry for any Spelling and Grammar mistakes.
OWNS THE TWILIGHT SAGA!
Also your thoughts on Alice calling Bella sweetheart? I wasn't really sure what her pet name would be so ideas will be taken on board.
Until next time...
