EPOV

Stage left and I made my exit from Bella's room, unable to control my emotions any longer. Even though, I had most of them under control all thanks to Alice constant reminder that Bella was there for me no matter what happens. However, that did not stop the low growls that emitted from my chest as I sat down from behind the driver's seat. Alice warned me that this could possibly happen to me after an attack like that one last night.

This shouldn't have affected me as much as it has, but the one that I love was almost killed because of my stupid uncontrolled brother. The pain was bearable, but the worst part was those thoughts about leaving the one thing that means the world to me. I couldn't let myself think of leaving until every possible scenario was seen through Alice's eyes. Then the decision will be made whether to stay here with Bella, or to leave in a heartbeat and make sure the family goes along with it.

From the car, I was able to pick up every word that was spoken in Bella's room and hear her confusion for what was happening. Granted I can't blame her one bit; for I am confused just as much as she is.

"Alice," Bella said in a low whisper. Even though I was in the car it was still coming in loud and clear, "what is going on with Edward?" she asked.

Alice had just finished picking out the outfit that Bella will be wearing today to school before she answered her, "He is thinking about right and wrong, and a few other things that is upsetting him right now."

"Like what?" Bella pressed on trying to dig deeper for my insane gestures.

"He will talk about it when he is ready to talk."

By then, Alice was at the window looking out at me. I mouthed the words "thank you" to her, and she nodded in response.

"Bella?"

"Um…"

"You need to hurry and get dress, or else we will be late for classes. I can't be late for my test today."

"But we will not be late, by the way Edward drives," Bella commented kinda chuckling to herself at the thought. I knew that this was all true, and that we would not be late for the classes that were before us. I would get us there in plenty of enough time for Alice to get to her first class. I chuckled to myself knowing that Alice probably saw what the answers were to the test, and had nothing to worry about.

"Bye Dad, I will be home right after school to get the house clean," Bella called out to Charlie who was just about ready to leave himself.

"Alright Bells," he called, "have a good day at school."

Alice pulled her gently to the vehicle, and opened the passenger door for her to get in, while Alice was climbing into the back seat. Even though the care ride did not take a long time to complete, it certainly did feel like it. That was probably due to the fact that my mind was buzzing with a lot of thoughts. The music was not on and no one was really in the mood for talking out loud really. Alice and I were having a heated decision all the way to school grounds. It was a great deal of comfort to know that Bella could not hear what was going on between us. Alice and I have a very strong bond between us, which is why we are able to do that.

Edward, Alice said softy, Edward you are going to have to talk to Bella. She needs to know what is going on.

I will, I spat my mind voice a bit harsh, however not right now. Not until we figure out what is going on first.

Bella, already knows that something is different by the way that you are acting, Alice remained me even when that wasn't necessary.

Don't you think I can see that just by her facial expressions Alice! It really doesn't take a genius to see that on her face.

Alice was quick for a while, so I took a quick glance making sure that I did not offended her in any way. I really did not want to have anything else to worry about. But it didn't seem like I had in any shape or form.

Alice, my voice was a little bit smoother now, how is Jasper doing?

She stiffen at the though and was probably wandering what to tell me, especially now with how my moods are flip-flopping all over the place. Her eyes became a little darker, but not dark enough to harm anyone, but a minute or two passed before they were light again. The smile that was once there had now disappeared, and I knew with a sudden fear that something had come up.

"Alice," I called out loud breaking the silence that had engulfed the entire vehicle. "Alice, what did you just see?"

By this time we were at the school with fifteen minutes to spare. Bella was giving us a look with uncertain eyes forgetting the troubles that came from the night before. She grab my hand out of habitat and I didn't flinch away from it. I welcome it actually not knowing if these were going to be the last that I had with her.

"He going to leave, Edward," Alice barely whispered. "Jasper is going to leave tonight after we get home. Anguish has gotten the better of him, and it is tearing him to pieces. I saw him packing his bags, Edward! This wasn't supposed to happen, not now, not until we figured everything out." Alice voice was rising every few seconds to the point that she sounded like she was going to shout, "What are we going to do, Edward!"

"Edward, what is she talking about?" questioned Bella, and I totally forgot for a moment that she was still holding onto my hand. She let go of my hand when I did not answer her. "Edward Cullen," I knew that I was in trouble, because she has only once my full name twice now making it a third time, "what is going on? Did you……did you…….did you do something or say something that would make him leave?"

Bella was finally looking over to Alice, because it was taking me a life time to answer. Alice looked like she was ready to run at full speed back home, even with all these witnesses here. That fact really did not matter to her right now, even without Jasper being here, I knew that she was longing to be at his side. In order to try and convince him to stay just a little bit longer until things were figured out.

"Alice, did he do something in anyway to make him want to leave," Bella was now turning to face Alice with just as much worry in her eyes and voice.

"Edward didn't do anything to harm him, Bella," she sighed. "Jasper is leaving, because of what he had almost done to you last night."

"Jasper slipped up that does not mind that he tried to kill me," Bella was at the very least trying to whisper so that we could be the only ones to hear what she was saying. However, there were a few around us that looked in our direction to see what was going on.

Saved the bell, this unsuitable discussion was brought to an abrupt end. This was not the end of it though, knowing my sister with her thoughts entering my head. Bella and I rushed off to English, while Alice rushed off to take her take the test in French class. We entered our classroom right when the late bell was ringing and took the back sits like we always do.

Class started up but neither of us was playing much attention to what the teacher was saying about Vanyel and his beloved. The class was moving at an unusual slow pace with the book it shouldn't take that long to get through and into the next part of the series. But alas, they can not speed read like me or the rest of the Cullen's. The teacher was going around the room asking questions about the book up to the part that we are at.

"Bella," our teacher called, "what is the name of the town of that Vanyel goes to live with his Aunt?"

Of course, Bella was not paying much attention. The look on her face said it all; that she was worried about what was going on at the house. With the thought of Jasper leaving, and knowing that Alice would be going with him if that was truly what he had planned. Alice and Bella have grown very close together, and I know the agony that is going through the both of them.

"Valdemar," I whisper so that she would not get into trouble.

"Thanks"

We sat in total silence during the lunch hour as well. Little did Bella know that Alice and I could speak together without having anyone realize it? Alice had her thoughts solely on Jasper and did not want to talk to me either; since she was trying to figure out what was going on with her beloved. I knew what she was thinking and was hoping that Jasper would at least change his future. After school was completed, thankfully, I drove Bella home so that she could get the house work done like she had promised Charlie. Before we left, I told Bella that I would be back tonight to make sure she was safe, and to stay the night. Her face lit up with that thought; at least I was able to get a smile from her today.

Alice and I got home shortly after dropping Bella off. Everyone asked how everything was going for her today, and was able to report that she was confused about what was going on; especially about Jasper. Alice was already in the room that she shared with him. Even though, my mind told me that I should be up there as while; my guts were telling me that I had a different battle to fight. So I stayed in the living room to talk to Carlisle and Esme about the different possibilities that I had if I stayed or if it was better just to leave.

So tell me what you all think, Edward really wants to know what you think is going to happen to him and his family. So leave me a brownie so to speak. The more you leave, the longer the chapters will get.
