The car ride home was silent. Alice wouldn't look at me; she had slipped back into her no talking stage.

I had found out Bella had the same Spanish class as me, but she wasn't in. Nobody in the school had seen her since she had run out at lunch. The school wasn't worried about her. Apparently Jasper and Bella were off frequently, so I decided to leave it and not bother anyone else.

It was at that moment I remembered Alice's vision. I decided I had to ask before I started to go mad.

'Alice, what did you see in your English class?'

Alice instantly stiffened. She had been dreading this. She looked at me with sad eyes that were starting to water.

'I...I...I saw...I...' She was stuttering, it was really a really annoying habit Alice had. I did mini glare in her direction and she cowered in her seat.

'I'm sorry Edward, but I don't think I should tell you...' She saw me going red and added 'At least until I calm down a bit, it gave me quite a scare and I need to figure some things out. I'm so sorry.' Alice was always apologising, another habit of hers.

I sighed for the billionth time today.

'Damn it Alice! I could help you with it! Why won't you tell me?' I didn't shout but sometimes when I was angry my voice made her go pale.

She turned her white face away from me. 'Give me a week, that's ail I ask.'

I looked at her but she didn't turn back.

We got home and dinner passed without any excitement, there would never be any excitement in this town.

Alice didn't talk to me again, and James was happy enough to stay out of it, family tiffs were not his speciality.

I lay in bed and realized that something had happened. My twin and I were growing apart, and I hated it. I thought about Bella and planned how I would be tomorrow.

I would do my best not to fall over anything. I would not say something stupid in front of her and I definitely not be asking her out anytime soon.

Asking her out? YOU JUST MET HER YOU TWIT! My brain yelled at me, which was the side that was constantly connected to Alice. This side of my brain made a new list.

Help Alice through her bad stage. Give her the week she asked for. And do not under any circumstances put Bella before Alice in your life.

Just as I finished my list, sleep took hold of me.

I had no nightmares.

I had chosen to give myself a few days to prepare.

Emmet and Rosalie had been the perfect hosts for the last few days, I had felt so touched when they offered for me to stay with them. I had refused, I did not want to be a bother. Also, I didn't want to go into their room and see anything that any guest should see.

I was in the guest room with Rose. She and Em were coming with me to hunt later, to make sure I didn't feel too tempted to feed from the boy.

'Bella, are you sure you don't want to stay, I promise we won't do anything, Emmet has agreed to be on his best behaviour.' Rose had been pestering me for hours to make sure I didn't go to back to Forks.

'Rose, I'll be fine, I can handle this. I just wasn't prepared that's all.' I smiled at her. It was a fake a smile. I was dreading seeing Edward in school.

I nearly jumped out my skin when Rose suddenly squealed and grabbed my arm with an iron grip which would have broken a human's forearm.

'I've got it! We'll come back! I'll be a much better help than Jazz, and Emmet would love to check out this guy!' Rose was jumping now, her eyes lit up with excitement.

I felt a dazzling smile spread across my face.

'Would you? Oh thank you Rosie!' I yelped and gave her an over the top hug.

This was perfect. The worst thing about going back was always going to be the fact that I only had Jasper for support in school, but with Rosalie, I could stay strong.

Emmet get your but in here, you've got packing to do! I screamed to Emmet's brain.

He came in half a second later. He was holding his head.

'Could you be any louder Bells? I nearly went deaf!' He moaned at me.

I laughed for the first time in what felt like years. I ran up to Emmet and gave him a hug as well.

'Oh Emmy! Jazz will be so glad to have you back! I can't wait to see Esme's face! You will love school!' I looked into Emmet's face, he was confused. Really co you will love school!' I looked into Emmet's face, he was confused. Really confused.

I was about to hit him over the head when I saw understanding show on his face. He beamed at me and swept me up into another hug.

...

We had our things packed in an hour and started running back towards Forks.

The story was settled, Rosalie would be Jasper's twin and Emmet would be a close family friend. The only reason he wasn't related was because Em didn't want to go through a day without making out with Rose.

We made it to the house by dinner. I raced up the stairs, in the house...and straight into Esme's arms.

'Bella!' She shouted, shocked. After a few milliseconds her arms wrapped around me and she kissed the top of my head.

I didn't get a chance to talk before Rose and Emmet walked in.

'Emmet! Rosie! Oh I missed you so dearly!' If Esme had been human, she would have been crying with joy at this point.

After Carlisle had given Rosalie and Em a warm hug, he turned to me. I had to tell my story all over again and his reaction was a lot more calm than Rose or Emmet's. He made sure I had hunted and gave Rosalie strict instructions to look after me at school.

When Jasper returned home from a dinner date-he of course had not eaten- he happily welcomed back Emmet, he had been getting fed up with all the girl drama, he needed someone fun back in his life. I was happy to see his eyes were a golden colour, he had hunted at last.

I was the most shocked when he hugged me, hard.

'Don't ever do that to me again, being worried is way too draining for me.'

I started to laugh but it vanished when I saw his eyes were really concerned. He had been so worried, I felt guilty for doing that to him.

'I'm not going anywhere.' I whispered, pulling him in for another hug.
