I don't own Twilight or any of the characters but I do own this story so tell me what you think! (:
Last Time
It was time to get ready for school before I knew it. I went upstairs to have a shower and get a change of clothes. Minutes later, I was out of the house driving towards the girl I thought I loved.

I was pulled out of sleep by the dazzling sunlight pouring through my window. I rolled over to glare at the disturbance but froze when I saw a flash of black. It passed by so quickly I wasn't sure if it was real or if I was still dreaming. Before I could get up to check the windows, Alice appeared in front of me. I gasped. She looked terrible. Her normally immaculate clothes resembled what I would wear when I was relaxing. Her eyes were black with thirst and had deep purple bruises beneath them. Her once perfect hair was matted and tangled with leaves and twigs sticking out of it.
"Alice?" my voice shook with worry.
"Bella" she said my name in recognition rather than to call or answer me. She walked over to my bed and sat down beside me. We sat in silence for a moment.
Suddenly, she hugged me tightly and her shoulders began to heave. Her face was buried in my shoulders and I could feel her eyes clenched shut as if not seeing would make the thing that had upset her go away. I didn't need to see her face or hear her voice to know she was dry sobbing. At once I knew something was really wrong. I had never seen Alice cry, not even when James had attacked me though I knew she had wanted to. I wanted to know what was wrong but was afraid to know the answers to the questions running through my mind.
"He's gone." She whispered it so softly it was hard to hear her properly.
"Alice, what's wrong?" I tried to get her to tell me the whole story though I knew her state of mind made her incapable of speaking. She raised her head from my shoulder and looked at me. Her expression terrified me. She looked like she had lost everything.
"It's ok Alice, no matter what, you still have me and you always will. Please, let me help you" I pleaded. Seeing her upset tore me apart. My sister, my best friend was feeling horrible and I couldn't do anything to help her. Something I said must have been the wrong thing as she her shoulders heaved more violently now. Suddenly, a thought came to me. It scared me but I knew I had to know. I tried to keep the fear out of my voice as I spoke to her.
"Alice, where is Jasper?" I asked though I had an idea of the answer.
"Gone" she whimpered. "He's gone."
"Where has he gone? Why would he not take you with him?" I questioned her, furious at Jasper for crushing my sister. I knew the answers to my questions but needed to hear the words come from Alice to be sure.
"He left because of Edward" she whispered. "We are leaving too, Bella. Please know that we do love you. Everyone, Carlisle, Emmet, Esme and I love you more than you know. We had to do this and we are sorry. Don't forget that." With this said, she fled the room, leaving through the window.
I didn't understand what she had said. What would Edward have done to Jasper if he had seen him? What did she mean they were leaving? Where were they going? Why hadn't she said that Edward loved me too? Why had she left so quickly?
As if in answer to my last question Edward was suddenly in my room. He stood by the window and look at me. He inhaled then stiffened. I could feel his anger at Alice being here from where I was.
"What did she say to you?" he growled.
"What is said between me and Alice stays between me and Alice" I snapped.
Edward looked shocked at my response then composed his face into a calm mask. I knew there was more he wanted to say but could see that he wouldn't say anything.
"Would you like to spend the day with me Bella? I have some things I need to talk to you about" Edward said calmly. I knew what he had to say and didn't want to hear it but I knew I would have to hear it someday. Better sooner than later, as the saying goes.
"Yes, Edward" I said calmly. I was happy that my voice didn't betray how I really felt. I was angry at Edward because Jasper left. I was shocked and horrified that the Cullens were leaving. I was curious to know if they were going to take me with them. I was scared mostly though. I was scared because I knew there was more to why Alice was upset. I knew that there were going to be some major changes soon and I didn't want things to change from the way they were.
His voice pulled me from my thoughts.
"I'll let you get changed."
I stood up and moved around the room to get clothes to wear. With that done, I went to the bathroom to shower.
I showered slowly taking extra care with each task to put off the talk. When I knew I couldn't stall any longer I stepped out and changed into my clean clothes. I walked slowly back to the room and peeked around the door. Edward was still in the same spot he was in when I left him. This added to my constantly growing worry as Edward usually made himself at home whilst I was in the shower.
I walked into the room slowly and sat down on my bed, waiting for Edward to speak. It was silent for a while before I was annoyed.
"When exactly is this talk going to start?" I asked. My tone was harsh and it shocked Edward again. He quickly composed himself and answered my question.
"We can start the talk now if you want that, but could we walk and talk?" Edward replied calmly.
I HAD to leave it here. I just couldn't do the next bit in Bella's view. Please don't hate me for it! You will get to see Edward leaving in two points of view. Chapter 5 should be up by Thursday if I'm not revising ;)
Review please!
