How can you just walk on by?
Without one tear in your eye?
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me?
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
~Like We Never Loved at All- Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Alice Point of View
When we returned home we were all in disarray. Since we had a late flight home I headed to bed as soon as we returned.
*MORNING*
After waking up, and dressing comfortably, I headed out. First, I had a follow up therapy session with Dr. Cullen.
"Oh Alice you made it," Dr. Cullen said looking up from his papers. "How was your trip?" I sat down.
"Well we found out Jasper and Rosalie are twins. I stated dating Jasper before we left. I broke up with him."
"Why?"
"I caught him drinking. Something he promised he would stop."
"Ok continue. We had Jasper and Rosalie's mother's funeral. Rosalie and Emmett broke up. And, Bella announced she was transferring to Ohio State."
"So not really a memorable vacation?"
"Nope not at all."
"Well are you going back to your family for Thanksgiving?"
"Nope, I was just planning on celebrating alone. Bella leaves two days after"
"Why don't you and your friends stay at our house?"
"Oh we couldn't intrude like that."
"Oh of course, Esme is just dying to meet you all. It's settled you tell all your friends and we will celebrate."
"Only if you insist"
"And I do"
"Its settled"
After my therapy session, I headed back to the dorm. I got several different responses when I asked about Thanksgiving.
It's my house. I'll be there~ Edward
Um I transfer two day s after but sure~ Bella
Free food? I'm in~ Emmett
My holiday plans are cancelled~ Rosie
The only person I didn't get a response from was Jasper. I headed up to his room because it was time we had a talk.
Well I chickened out of going to talk to Jasper. Instead, I sent Rosalie they had some stuff to work out anyway.

I knocked on Jasper's door before barging in.
"Hey" he whined.
"Shut it. I'm technically your sister now." I snapped.
"If you're here about Alice I don't want to talk about it"
"I'm not. Well I was but I changed my mind."
"Oh" he grumbled
"How's Emmett been?"
"Mopey and depressing. How's Alice?"
"Thought you didn't want to talk about her?"
"I'm not ," he threw his hands up "I'm just asking a harmless question"
"Alice is Alice. She is masking her emotions."
"Anything else? How's the baby?"
"You know what? You want to talk to her so bad? Go to the Cullen's for Thanksgiving talk to her there."
"Ok" I walked out and slammed the door.
I walked into our room and face planted on my bed. The room was quiet and dark. Alice was lying on her bed.
"You know he's in pain" she said
"I know so am I"
"He's playing the silent game"
"I know I'm about to"
"You were the first one he loved"
"I know"
"You didn't he never got a chance to tell you."
"Oh well"
"Do you not understand?"
"I do he needs to deal with the pain!"
"Maybe that's just his way of dealing with the pain. I'm going to go help Bella pack." Alice got up and left. I decided it was time to get off my high horse and write Emmett a letter like we were in eighth grade all over again.
Dear Emmett,
There's something in your eyes that makes me forget the times that I believed that love was good as love could be. I had it all. But I was wrong. Thought I'd been touched. Thought I 'd been kissed. Thought I'd been loved. But it was nothing like that.
Did you forget the magic? Did you forget the passion? Do you ever miss me?
Rosalie
