Flashback

He had made his decision, only because Jasper had slipped. He was making Jasper feel the guilt that he had already felt, and now the guilt had increased tense fold. How could Edward do this to Jasper? How could Edward do this to Bella? I could already see Bella searching for Edward in the woods after his farewell and departure. I had seen Bella falling down and curling up in the most fragile of state that I've ever seen in all of my eternity. My visions were never wrong, not when they weren't going to change. I couldn't let Edward do this. Yes, he was my brother, but there had to be someone that would be brave enough to knock some senses into his thick, stubborn skull.

"Edward!" I shouted as I barged into his room. Jasper was still grieving in the woods, so he wasn't here to calm me down at the moment. I was disappointed at Edward, and I was angry at him. There was no word to describe my emotions that were flaring towards him at the moment.

"What is it Alice?" Edward asked, and I bet he knew damn well why I was here. There was no need to play games.

"You know why I'm here Edward. Are you really going to crush her like that? She makes you happy." I spat my last line at him, and he winced.

"She will be fine." He responded. I knew that he wanted to believe his words, but I didn't. I didn't believe his words, because I knew that she will not be fine.

"No, she won't. Like I said before, she will be crushed. You are her first love, Edward. Be reasonable!" The house was filled with my voice, but I didn't care. Everyone could hear me and Edward anyway, and they had chosen to stay out of it.

"Were, Alice. After this, she will move on." He replied. I could note on the strain in his voice, but he was saying everything so calmly. The anger within me started to bubble to the point that I needed Jasper to be here. My fists were clenched, and it took a lot for me not to hurt him, if that would mean to put him into his senses.

"She won't move on. She loves you too much, Edward. Don't be a fool. She is all that you have been waiting for. This is your chance in centuries!" I tried to reason with him, but it looked like his decision was final. There was no turning back for him, he was going to crush her, he was going to crush my best friend's fragile heart. What a cruel and heartless monster he was.

"Yes, Alice, I'm a cruel and heartless monster. That is why she needs not to be with me." He said, I could see the faint anger flashing through his golden hues. That was it then, I've lost it. I didn't think before I react to his words. Bella was a human, it would hurt her more than it would hurt him. He was acting upon his own selfishness, and I couldn't handle it anymore. My hand raised up and with a quick and forceful movement, that he couldn't even dodge, my palm connected with his cold hard cheek, the impact that it made was like a thunderous roar, but he deserved it.

Edward staggered back afterward, his hand reaching up to cover the spot that my hand had slapped him. His eyes were now full with fury, but he knew not to take his action, because I know, somewhere deep inside of him, he knew he was in the wrong.

"You don't deserve her." That was all that I said, before storming out of his room. Although, I did catch what he said after me; She only loves you as a best friend.

I sighed then, no matter what he was saying, I knew that Bella just needed a little courage, but I wasn't the one that would do that though. I would let her think about it, and figure it out on herself. Bella was a grown up woman, she didn't need help to figure out her feelings. She didn't need to be ordered around either.

I was now in my room, packing up the clothes that I would need for the cold winter, not like I would get cold anyway but blending into the town would be a wise choice. Edward had gone off to break up with Bella, I had already foreseen the scene, I didn't need to be there to witness, not when he had told her that I had left early. He was a controlling being, and I felt as if he was controlling Bella's life other than letting her control it. I finished packing just when Edward came back. He didn't say anything other than that we needed to get going now. I mentally scolded him, but reluctantly obeyed his order nonetheless. Then, we were off to Alaska, where the three Succubuses resided.

It only took a few hours for us to get there, and as we were packing our stuff inside the Denali's house, Edward had pulled me out to have a 'talk'. I already knew what he was going to say, but it seemed like he wanted to make himself clear on the matter.

"Alice, I need you to promise me one thing." He said firmly, his eyes holding me captive.

"No." I answered, my eyes were glaring up at him.

"Please." He pleaded, but it wasn't good enough. He wasn't good enough for me to make such a stupid promise.

"No." I repeated, and he grimaced. My word had hurt him, it was like the venom had hit his face and was rotten him from the outside.

"Fine. I want you to not look into her future. Can you do that?" He was growling now, but I didn't care. I wasn't afraid of him.

"Even if I can do that, I don't want to. Besides, you know I can't stop the visions from coming in." I answered matter-of-factly. He ought to know this, I couldn't control my visions like he couldn't control his mind reading ability, except that he could tune it out, when I couldn't.

"Then whatever happens, don't come to her. She needs to learn how to be human." Edward growled once again. And my eyes flared up with anger. Bella surely didn't deserve to be treated like this. Edward snarled at my thought, but I didn't care. My lips turned back, revealing my teeth, and it was then that Jasper and the rest of the family came out. Carlisle was on Edward's side, holding him, while Jasper was gently holding on to me.

"Bella is a human Edward. Now she's just a broken doll because of you. If I were you, I would have done everything differently." I snarled at him, and I could beginning to feel Jasper's ability on me, but I tried very hard to push it away.

"What would you have done Alice? Tell me. What would you have done?!" Edward's voice was raising little by little at every single word. The Denali sisters were standing on the sideline, watching us with pure sympathy.

"I would stay by her side. I would make all the pain go away. I would promise not to leave her. I would protect her with all the strength in me. You ran away from her Edward. You ran away from your chance. Don't stand here and make decisions for her life. It is her own life, she doesn't need you to control it but she willed it. Can't you see she's terribly and horribly deeply in love with you?" My every word hit him like a sharp porcelain knife cutting through his stone cold heart. Jasper was whimpering now, and I knew why. He was feeling Edward's emotion. Edward was bleeding from inside out from my words. But I needed him to know this. I needed him to see the mistake that he had made. Bella could not survive without him.

Edward turned his gaze away from me. And that was it, I knew he couldn't hold me back if I wanted to go and see Bella. Carlisle let go off of him, and he stormed off into the deepest part of the Denali forest. It was then that I let Jasper's ability to take control over my emotion. I felt calmer, but when I turned to look at him, his deep pools of golden orbs were looking at me with the love that I knew I didn't deserve. Then I felt his arms wrapped around me in a gentle and loving embrace. I didn't deserve him, not when all the things that I had said earlier made me realize my unrequited love for Bella. He understood, and he accepted it, though I knew that it hurt him deeply.

"Jazz…." I murmured but he hushed me. I sighed and buried my head deep against his cold, marble chest.

"You love her, don't you Alice?" He asked a moment after, and I bit my lower lip. I could hear the pain in his voice.

"Yes, I do. I'm sorry. I still love you Jazz." I stuttered out, and soon I felt his chest vibrated. He was chuckling. I pulled away from him, only to look up at his face. He was happy? Why?

"Alice, I'm happy for you. I know that you love me, but she makes you happier than I ever could. I have been a burden on you, I apologize for that." My eyes widened at his words. A burden? How could he even feel like that?

"Jazz, you're not a burden. Don't even think about that. You are my first love."

"Were."

"I'm still with you."

"You will soon be with her."

"I don't know that." I argued back, but only lightly. How could he know something that I didn't know?

"I do. I have seen the way she looks at you, with such longing, sadness and confusion. She loves you, but she doesn't know it yet. Just give it time."

"You're willing to let me go?" I asked, a little surprise.

"I cannot hold onto something that I cannot have." He simply answered, and pulled away from me after leaving a chaste kiss on my head. Then he turned and disappeared inside the house. Leaving me outside, with the visions that were running through my head. The visions of her. I saw her, waiting for us to return. I saw her reaching out for me. I saw her giving up hope that we would ever be returning. My dead heart ached at the sight. How could I have let my stupid brother control my own decision?
