A/N: Very short chapter but hey its something, im trying my best to keep them coming fast even though i so lagged on this guyss and remember keep reviewing :]

Disclaimer: I do not own twilightt.

Everything was happening too fast, and everyone's voice became a blob of sound. Angry faces was all I saw, angry exhausted faces, long after their bed time. One thing was clear in the blob of noise.

"Alice, Alice." A deep voice that sounded so familiar. I guessed for about a minute on who's voice it might be, then finally realizing it was Jacob's and I swung myself around to face the doorway. Not good. really not good. No one seemed to quite down or acknowledge his presents. My eyes went wide, and I tried to choke something out. Nothing came out.

"Alice! Alice!" He was exclaiming, but I couldn't understand. He looked tired and his hair might have been shorter than his long locks I remember so long ago. His face was scrunched up in confusion and worry, but his mouth moved fast and confident with loud words erupting from his strong lips. Things seemed to be moving in slow motion around me, I heard something that sounded like my name being called but I didn't turn to answer, I heard names, dirty names being called but I didn't yell to stop them. I watched Jacob's lips move in some kind of awe, I watched the alarm on his face turn to pure and utter confusion.

"AL-ICE." His lips moved. Alice? Do I know an Alice? Sounds familiar.

"AL-ICE!"

Alice! What about her, Jacob tell me! I couldn't force my lips to move, it was like my body had shut down and all I was capable of doing was staring.

"Alice she's hurt!" I read Jacobs frantic lips, and the second the message got to my brain, and made everything start working again.

"What!" I gasped for air, like I hadn't been breathing before.

"Alice is down!" I heard his voice much clearer now, and the voices around us was no longer a buzz in the back ground. Jacob ran out and I followed, while security guards ran into the loud chaotic room. Then I was running like my life depended on it. All I could think was: Alice is hurt. Alice is hurt. Alice is hurt.

All I could see when we got to her was that short jet black hair, while others gathered around her in a hurry. Panicking voices, rushed conversations, loud orders.

"What happened!" I yelled over everyone, not asking anyone in particular.

"I waved to her, and then she just collapsed." Tommy was at my side, and the possibilities of what went wrong sent a chill down my spine. They carried her to a room, and laid her on a bed. A hard yucky hospital bed, as Alice had once called it, when I was here one of my numerous times.

"How do you sleep!?" She had demanded her face in total shock. I couldn't help but laugh. She always knew how to do that. Now she was the one on the hard yucky bed, her eyes closed, expression peaceful. I didn't care about much anymore, I didn't care about Jacob being here, I didn't care about my stupid plan to break things off with Edward, I didn't care about my mom and dad being so close by, and I didn't care about Edward's dad hating me. All I cared about was Alice, and how I wasn't going to leave her till I knew she was absolutely fine. Warm tears trickled from my eyes, and I felt my heart split into two. Breathing wasn't coming so easy, and standing on my two feet was a lot harder than it should be.

"She's still breathing." I heard one of the doctors yell out.

She's going to be fine. I tried to convince myself.

"Just worn out."

Soon the voices became less, and less. I somehow ended up the only one in the room, sitting by her bed. I was alone, I was cold and I was sad. The only thoughts that could have made any sense, as I grabbed on to her little hand was : What am I suppose to do if you're not here?

"Bel-la." Alice's groggy voice pulled me from my daze.

"Alice." I breathed.

"Have you gone insane!" Alice all but exploded from her hospital bed, that Edward's uncle decided she better stay on, till all drama was clear. I wasn't even the slightest worried about what had happened in that room. All my concerns were on Alice, and talking to her about everything and anything at all. It was very rarely Alice was the one falling over, having fainting spells, and such. I finally got the chance to sit on the side of the hospital bed rather than in it.

"Edward needs his family." I sighed, playing with my hands.

"And you!" Alice glared at me.

"It's unfortunate he can't have both."

"What do you mean? Of course things will work out. Have a little faith Bella."
"I'm sorry but were we just in the same room. You know the room with all the screaming people?" I asked sarcastically, rolling my eyes for effect.

"Things like that happen. So what." Alice shrugged, her eyes had finally returned their usual dark blue.

"You aren't understanding this." I breathed heavily.

"I'm ruining Edward's life."

"What makes you think that?" A voice from the door asked a voice only so smooth and soft it could only belong to Edward. I froze, in shock and in delight. I hadn't been around him for so long, his voice was different now a bit stronger than the weak tired voice I remember. The voice he had while he sat watching his mother suffer.

"Edward." I blinked rapidly till my eyes were set on him as he stood in all his glory at the door way, leaning against the door frame casually. Although his eyes looked sad, and a bit stressed.

"You guys should talk." Alice swung her legs off the bed as if she was never sick at all, and walked right out of the room, playfully punching Edward on the way out. His stressed eyes stayed on me. Then there was silence.

"What makes you say that Bella?" He seemed just a bit angry as he approached me slowly.

"Is your mother okay?" I asked in a small voice.

"Yes, doing much better now." He frowned seeing I was avoiding the question.

"And your father. How's he?"

"For god sake Bella, you and I both know you are not concerned with my father's wellbeing."

"You don't have to be angry with me." I played with my hands nervously, my voice sounding weak and shaky.

"How could I not be?" He snapped. I flinched at his tone.

"Edward I-"

"I thought I made it very clear that I love you." He frowned.

"You did but-"

"I thought you understood that. But you- you always want to give up." He sighed deeply looking at his hands then back at me.

"I have to come and hear you talking to Alice to find out about you planning to just leave me. To 'walk out my life completely'"

"Do we have no kind of connection here? Do you feel nothing for me? If so please tell me now." He paused, silence filling the thick air, my hands shaking with each word he spoke. It was true. I had planned to leave, had planned to just walk out so it would be easier for him. He deserved a life, a life I was interfering with. Everyone, including both of our parents could see it. It wouldn't be long till I found out.

"Edward I didn't mean-" I was cut off again, by those piercing green eyes begging for silence.

"Yes you did. Stop lying." He shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. Not a smile that had taken my breath away so many times. A sad smile.

"Time Bella, that was the key. Time. I guess we'll never know now." And with that he turned on his heel and walked out of the room, taking my heart with him. I wanted to scream out, I wanted him to come back and hold me. I wanted to yell at myself for being so stupid. But I had no energy in me to even move.

I sat there in the empty hospital room, my hands resting in my lap, my head hung in shame.

"Time." I muttered under my breathe as I playing with my silver candy charm. I never worried about giving things time.
