The next chapter is here! I am loving writing this story! I can't seem to stop... I know it seems to be moving quite swiftly and Edward has already found Bella, but there is a lot more to come before they actually properly 'meet' and then of course everything that happens after that. So i hope your enjoying this and don't worry the story won't be stopping anytime soon! And neither will I!


Chapter 4:

I drove slowly up the long drive and listened to hear who was in our house.

I could make out only a faint movement, the typing of a keypad perhaps. And I could only hear one voice, Alice...

I groaned and pulled up outside the house. I jumped out of my car and lifted the dress bag from the passenger seat.

I walked swiftly up the porch steps and opened the door.

Alice was sitting comfortably on the sofa that faced the door. First, her head was watching the computer screen as she typed and her IPod was stuck in her ears on full blast, which was probably why she never heard me coming up the drive.

Her eyes darted up and met mine and a smile broke out across her face. She jumped up and gently placed her laptop on the sofa.

She ran over to me quickly and I laughed.

"Well?" she said as she come nearer to me.

"I got it..." I laughed.

"You got it?" she scoffed, "That's hardly nice calling her it..."

"You name your dresses Alice, very mature..." I laughed looking down at it.

I raised my head as I handed her the dress. But she wasn't looking at me.

Her eyes had travelled behind me and she watched outside like she was expecting something to appear. Her eyes went back to mine, confusion deep in their gold colour.

She watched me for a long moment, her smile had faded and she looked upset.

"Alice?" I asked, "What's wrong?"

"But nothing's changed..." she said mystified as she shook her head.

"Nothing's changed about what?" I asked anxiously.

I listened to her thoughts and once again she was blocking me.

"What happened in Port Angeles?" she asked suddenly, her face becoming clear and at ease once again as she cocked her head to the side.

I shook my head and shrugged, seeming unflustered, "Nothing why?"

"No reason..." she said taking the dress from me.

I gazed at her curiously for a long moment. Her mouth was set in a stubborn line and her eyes were determined.

I shook my head, not having the patience or headspace to deal with her in this instant.

I began to make my way to my room, holding my breath until I reached the door and could hear Alice's music playing again.

I threw myself onto the sofa and let out my breath sharply. I closed my eyes and gripped my stomach, where the pain seemed to be ripping at me the most.

I tried to breathe easily, but I just couldn't understand how Bella was a vampire and didn't love me anymore...

After all my years of missing her and desperately trying to find comfort and closure... But she had found closure...

Maybe I should be happy for her...

Just as the pain began to ease a bit I heard Alice's song change and a little, see how he likes this, in her thoughts.

Suddenly she began singing, her angel voice changing the words slightly to a song I'd heard, but never thought much of;

"I can't fight this feeling any longer,

And yet I'm still afraid to let it show...

What started out as friendship had grown stronger,

I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

And even as I wonder, I'm keeping you inside...

You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night.

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might...

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.

I've forgotten what I've started fighting for.

It's time to bring this ship into the shore, and throw away the oars.

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore..."

I gripped the sofa and gritted my teeth. Alice's gentle voice streaming right to the heart of me and torturing shamelessly.

"My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you...

I've been running round in circles in my mind.

And it always seems that I'm following you, girl...

Cause you took me to the places that alone I'd never find.

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight...

You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night.

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might...

And I can't fight this feeling anymore..."

I closed my eyes and tried to breathe, I reached up to try and cover my ears from the sound.

"I've forgotten what I started fighting for,

It's time to bring this ship into the shore, and throw away the oars, forever...

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore,

I've forgotten what I started fighting for...

Even if I have to crawl upon your floor,

Come crashing through your door,

Baby, I can't fight this –"

"Alice!" I yelled suddenly. I stormed to my door and opened it roughly.

Alice stood outside the door, her IPod gone, her singing stopped.

She stood with her hand on her hip and she looked at me expectantly, "Well? Are you going to tell me what really happened now? Or shall I move on to Titanic? I like 'I will always love you', don't you, Edward?"
