I wandered out of the room where Rosalie and Bella were still talking, I was completely dazed, I still hadn't chosen, this isn't something that you can decide overnight

"Alice, what did they tell you?" Jasper asked with a mixture of concern and anger.

"The consequences of being with you…both sides." I whispered looking into his eyes.

Wow, that on had some real information. I thought sarcastically.

I made my way down the stairs and into the living room, where Esme was looking into a Costal Living magazine. It was a page about late summer flowers. That brought me back to my grandmother in Jasper Mississippi (Wow, ironic isn't it), I used to go down there when I was eight and nine for the summer. That was back when life was simple, and I looked forward to my summers with her. She lived on a big plantation, it had HUGE flower gardens. She even had one especially for me, I always choose what went in it; it was mostly filled with lilies: Princess Lilies are my favorite flowers, so it had bunches of those. Me and her would always walk around the gardens in the afternoons after everything had cooled down, but she died when I was ten, and the massive estate was sold to make a subdivision, so the gardens were torn down.

"Do you like flowers, Alice?" Esme asked me.

"Yes, my grandmother and I used to have gardens." I told her.

"Oh, that's lovely. I was thinking about picking up a new hobby and I thought that flowers would be perfect. What kind of flowers did your grandmother have?"

"Um, I remember the lilies, and she had a beautiful peach-colored hibiscus, and something called a fire-poker or something like that."

"That's wonderful, if you don't mind me asking is she still alive?"

I hung my head. "No she's not, she passed about six years ago."

"I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be; it's been a very long time."

There was a long pause in the conversation, not an awkward one.

"So, how did the talk go?" Esme asked trying to break the silence. Of course she would have heard, even down here.

"It got me thinking, both of their stories are very compelling." I told her.

"Both? Bella told you hers?" She asked with a small smile and a disbelieving look on her face.

I nodded yes.

"Bella must really trust you; she is very private, and shy. I'm also surprised on how Rose is taking to you; she is very protective of us." Esme explained.

"Oh, ok." I sat there for a while after. Then I looked at the clock, 5:26, it had only been a little over since I woke up, yet so much had changed. I wonder what Abby was doing, ABBY! I haven't talked to her today, I have to call her.

"Um, Esme, do you mind if I use the phone? I have to call Abby, and Olivia or they'll want to make sure that I'm ok."

"Sure, dear. Hear I'll show you." She said as she got up at lightning speed and was next to me in a flash. I followed her into the kitchen and it was on the wall next to the archway. She left me to call Abby privately.

"Hello." Abby picked up.

"Hey Abbs it's me."

"ALICE! Your ok! How is it? How are they? When are you going to be back in school?"

I laughed lightly."Hey slow down. I'm fine, they're great, everything is fine for the most part, and I'll be back by Monday at the latest. Oh, Thanks for the bag. You're a lifesaver."

"It's no problem. You know me. So, has your Mom called? We haven't heard anything from her yet."

"Oh, ok. Well, I don't even thinks that she notices, beside at least I'm not alone here."

"Yeah, Alice, I have to go and tell Mom. Call me before you go to bed ok?"

"Sure Abbs, call you later." I said as we hung up.

Then I looked up, at the clock, 5:34. How much longer will it be until they get back?!
