It was not going to brother me one bit that Alice was tagging along, but she just can not bring anyone else along. If she does, well my actions would be enough for how I am feeling at the moment. Apparently, my well thought out actions will not be seen on anyone, because no one filled behind her. It became clear to me that my family understood what exactly was going on in my head. Alice met me halfway up to the river bed, where I slowed down a bit in order to talk. She looked sadden by what my thoughts were, and that really wasn't that hard to tell just by looking at her. Before coming out here, I noticed that she had changed clothes, since we will be leaving for school once we got back to the house.
"Why," Alice began, "why are you thinking about doing the impossible?"
"Is it that hard to see why I am thinking what I am thinking, Alice, I don't like putting Bella into danger," I said somberly. "What happened at the party proves that she is in danger every waking moment that we are together."
"Bella knows that you of all people would bring her into any just harm Edward. Why don't you see that? "
"I don't see it, because of what happened to tonight. Didn't you see anything about the party to forewarn us about the danger that we were going to put her in?"
Alice could not say anything for sometime. It was like she was trying to remember a long lost memory that only happened a few hours ago. Finally, Alice was able to start up again. At last, I was going to figure out why this all happen, but my dreams were cut short when she said very slowly, "I do not know why this had occurred, Edward. I did not see anything before or during the party, just afterwards and what you are planning on doing to everyone."
"I still don't know what to make of to come of all this though," I admitted more to myself than to Alice who was staring at me with wide eyes.
Jasper had been doing so well up here in Forks. Especially at school when the occasional accident happened with the students. Most of these occurred while he was setting in some class. Most of the accidents that we know of happened during P.E. because of someone falling down and scraping their knee. Then, there were times in some sort of lab when someone wouldn't be watching what they are doing and cut themselves. Plus, Jasper already knew better than to walk out of the class that he was in without a good reasonable answer.
"Alice, are you sure that you did not see this coming?" I was ashamed for even asking this question again, all the while hoping no praying that she wouldn't be that upset with me.
Though, I was scornfully wrong. She did not look up at me when she was answering the same question just asked minutes ago.
"Edward, honestly, I did not see that this would happen. Jasper was not thinking that he would harm her, because he knows how much she means to you."
Alice did turn to me and begged a simple request, "Don't leave Bella, Edward. Don't make us all leave that area that we have all fallen in love with."
"Why shouldn't I leave Bella, Alice," I said while gritting my teeth in order to stop myself from saying what I really wanted too. "Each time that we are together something happens that causes Bella pain. I just can not put her or myself that type of treatment anymore."
"But you don't put Bella in dangerous situations. Name one time that you have and I will let you know the outcome."
"Taking Bella to the baseball game for starters, and then running across James while in the field. If I had done anything to stop him, Bella would have been killed."
"Edward, that was not your fault first all of. Secondly, they were just passing by. The wind was just starting to pick up before you too left. Blame that if you want to blame anything."
"That would not have matter much, since he would have smelt her anyways while we were leaving. James could tell that something was wrong with the picture. Like something was out of place, but he could not put a finger on it. He could tell that Bella was not one of us, but just did not know how."
"But the other did not realize that did they, Edward?"
"No, they did not."
"Alright, then that was not your fault. You were able to stop as well, and changed the vision that I had about her becoming one of us then. Bella told me that she would rather have died if she was able to save you."
"Okay I do see you point there, I would have died in her place since the love between us is so strong. Here is another for you then. Explain the time that we met in biology class then."
"Bella," Alice started off with, "was very new to you. For one thing, you were not able to read her mind, which frighten the living daylights out of you. Plus, you did mention that the smell that was coming off of her attracted you to her which has not happened form many years. If, I remember correctly, you never did harm her in any shape or fashion."
"Let's get back to the house; we have to go get Bella soon. I don't want her driving today," I mention to Alice while turning back towards the house. She nodded in agreement.
Yes, this was all true, but it still did not explain for the actions of tonight. My actions nearly had the love of my life killed, because of my stupid insensible brother uncontrollable instincts. There are times when I could possible kill him, but that would tear Emse up inside. She loved us all equally, including Bella, even when our faults got the better us.
A new day was dawning in front of our every eye. You could see light pink and orange appearing through the clouds that were above the tree tops in our backyard. The weather would feel the mood that was being put off, since it was suppose to rain all day which meant that the sun will not be shining much at all today. In fact, by the time Alice and I made it back up to the house the rain was already starting to come down. We got into the Volvo and started towards Bella's house just hoping that my actions will not be troublesome today, until we figure this whole mess out.
