As I watched Bella flee from the dining hall I let out a sigh in relief. She's gone now, relax.

Yes, she was gone. Until tomorrow.

I heard a cough and looked up. The blonde guy was still standing there. He was looking at me.

'Sorry about my sister, she's not been feeling well lately.' He said motioning over his shoulder to where Bella had left. 'Oh, and I'm Jasper.' He added. I made a face when he had the nerve to wink at me.

I heard him mutter something under his breath as he walked back to his table, which was now starting to be crowded by a loose ring of girls. I thought I heard the word 'control' but I shook the thought away as I looked back at Edward.

'Do you think she'll be okay?' He asked. He sounded very concerned and this didn't help my nerves which were still in pieces. They had shattered the moment Bella started leaning towards Edward with a manic hunger in her golden eyes.

'She'll be fine, don't worry!' I shook it off, making it sound like nothing. Inside I was screaming at Edward to shut up about her and to wipe the whole thing from his mind.

He looked at me and nodded. I sighed yet again.

I heard the sound of high heels click-clacking angrily towards our table and my eyes shot up to make sure it wasn't Bella coming back.

I didn't know this girl. She had long brown hair that was tied into a ponytail and her face was twisted in anger which she was trying to put into a sweet smile as she made her way to our table. She was wearing skinny jeans that didn't suit her at all and a top that made her look like a slut. The neck line was much too mow to be called appropriate and the stripes on it made her look fatter than she was.

I smiled. I was thinking about fashion! For the first time in weeks I had thought about fashion and I loved having my passion for clothes back. I thought about the new issues of fashion magazines that my dad James had bought to cheer me up and I could feel my eyes light up.

The girl had reached her table and had her arms crossed and was glaring at Edward.

What had he done now?

I was looking at Alice. She was staring at the ground and twirling her thumbs without noticing. Suddenly her head whipped up and looked to the side as her eyes widened in fear and then she frowned in confusion. I found myself confused. Why were her emotions switching so fast? It was starting to make me dizzy. Alice's face suddenly twisted in disgust but I still didn't turn my face to see was she was looking at; I was too focused on her face.

She smiled.

I almost fell out my chair. It was a genuine smile, her eyes were twinkling and her dimples showed. I hadn't seen that sort of smile for what seemed like years.

I felt my own face smile as she rapidly turned her head to look at me. She motioned with her eyes to my right and her eyes seemed to say 'What have you done now?'

I felt confused again as I looked to my right and froze as I was being glared at by bland brown eyes filled with anger.

Jessica.

'Ah.' I choked out.

'Don't start! I get it. You didn't want me to see you with your girlfriend here!' She screamed pointing her long fingernail in Alice's face.

I looked at Alice's scared face and felt anger surging up in me and I let it out. I stood up to face her.

'What? I thought I told you I sat with my sister you deaf bimbo! You have no right to point those claws at her! She is going through a hard time! Don't you have a fucking brain? Or are you just a life size Barbie Doll slut?' I shouted right in her face. I was breathing heavily when I had finished my rant.

Jessica went white. She jerked round and ran, but not before I saw her eyes sparkle with fresh tears.

As the door closed behind her I sat back down. I didn't regret what I had said, but I knew a lot of people weren't going to like me know, starting with another girl who ran out after Jessica.

I stole a glance at Alice. She was staring at me with her eyebrows high up.

'Whoa.' That was all she said. She put her hand on mine. I didn't need to hear her thank me. It was all in her eyes.

'Anytime little sis.' I smiled at her. She stuck her tongue out at me.

'By seven minutes!' She started the old argument.

It looked like today would be the start of Alice's healing.
