BPOV

"Bella." he started.

I cut him off though. "Izzy."

"Sorry. Izzy…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lef….."

"Edward you don't have to apologize. I know why you left. It took some time to get over it but I did. I moved on. Just like you wanted me to. Please don't make this into a big deal." I said looking at the floor.

"Bella I still love you." He said.

'I knew I shouldn't have agreed to this. I knew this was going to happen.'

"Edward, look. I still love you to and I probably always will, but I'm not 'in love' with you. Not anymore. I'm sorry." I turned to walk way. I couldn't take this. His voice stopped me though.

"What do you mean you love me but you're not 'in' love with me?!" I could here the frustration in his voice.

"Like I said. I love you. I love you so much that I will never forget you or the times we shared together. I love you in a way that's more like close friends, but I'm not in love with you enough to just go back to the way things used to be between us. There are things that we did together that I haven't done with anyone else." I shook my head realizing I was giving way to much info away. Now I was leaving. My frustration level was rising. Once again I turned toward the door.

Over the last few decades I've noticed that I've changed. I'm more confident and I've kinda turned into a slightly mellower, non-shopeaholic( don't know how to spell that) version of Alice and I'm not a shy. But I do have my moments. I also get testier a lot faster. Like now.

"Izzy wait."

I turned at his voice. My teal eyes locking with his amber ones.

"Are you in love with Caleb?"

'Ok that's it. I'm going to..'

"Hey mom!"

I turned to the voice.

In walked my middle son Darius. Okay so he wasn't really my son, but I raised him after his parents were killed by newborns. He was only 5 at the time. I changed him at he age of 15 though because he asked.

He was about my height, and he was almost built like Jasper's but his did have muscle. He had black hair that was cut short and he had dark green eyes. He was dressed in jeans and a tank top.

"Hey D. What's up?" I said giving him a hug.

"Do me a favor. Call your cats. They're are in the hallway."

I smiled and turned. Then I remembered Edward. I turned to him.

I pointed my finger at him, "Don't eat my cats."

After warning Edward I turned towards the door. "Forest!! Eddie!!"

My cats, Forest a 3-year old mountain lion, and Eddie a 6-month old black leopard. They are like my babies.

They came bounding in and began rubbing against my legs. They were allowed to come in today because they were needed for a shoot.

"Where are your brothers?" I asked looking at Darius.

"We're right here mom!" Of course they both answer. They are twins after all.

Gabriel and Lucian. My two 'mommy's boys'. I've had them since they were 2. Their parents were killed in a car accident. A truck hit them dead on. It wasn't going fast enough to really damage the car but their parents didn't make it so I took them in. I turned them when they were 17. They both had blonde hair and blue eyes. Their hair like Edward's was short and always in perfect disarray. It was sometimes hard to tell them a part but they had totally different personalities. They were taller then me by about 4 inches. I know I'm short.

They both walked over and hugged me.

"Where's Zane?" I asked noticing he wasn't there.

"He's with Dani." They said.

"We're going out to hang with Dani and Kairi. Are you coming?" Gabriel asked.

"Yup. I'll be out in a minute."

When the boys left I turned back to Edward.

"To answer your question I'm not in love with Caleb. We were friends when I was younger. He and his family moved away when I was ten. He came back about 2 months after you left. He was already a vampire when he came back. He was pushed out of a 10 story high window and then was changed. We are just friends. Are you ready to go back out with the others?"

"Yeah." He said. He looked a little relieved that I said Caleb and I were just friends.

The truth was I didn't want to give my heart to somebody. I didn't want to be hurt if I didn't have to.

As Edward and I walked out of the meeting room Kat walked up and asked Edward if they could talk.

I could only hope she wasn't the jealous type. I may not love Edward but I still wouldn't want to see him get hurt. I know how it feels to be rejected, and he didn't deserve that.

As Edward walked away with Kat I walked over to the group. Kayla was sitting on the floor across from Zane rolling a ball between them.

Zane my youngest son. His disarrayed dark bronze hair and blue and gold eyes. The 5 year old I had to change because he somehow contracted a version of the disease that had killed his father.

He turned around and waved to me. I waved back.

I stood there staring at him for a moment, remembering back all those years ago, when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"What's up Alice?" I asked.

"Can I talk to you?" she asked.

'Here we go again.' I thought as I followed her into a corner of the studio.

"What's up?" I asked again.

She looked at me, then over to Zane. Her amber eyes suddenly full of an emotion that almost looked like fear and sadness. Then her eyes turned back to me.

"He's Edward's isn't he?"

Sorry if that was confusing or a little OOC. I had to throw a twist in there somewhere. REVIEW PLEASE!! and check out the prolouge for my upcoming story Haunting.
