Bella's POV

The day passed uneventfully (meaning that I didn't see Edward again). I got home in time to finish my book before dinner and then spent the evening lounging around, doing nothing. It was another dull night in the monotonous life of Isabella Swan. Here I was, wallowing in self-pity at home on a Friday night while everybody else was out having fun. I really was a loser. I was contemplating whether to just go to bed when the phone rang. I leapt up, eager for any human contact- what a loner.

"Hello?"

"Good evening. I'm sorry to be disturbing you at such a late hour. My name is Ashleigh and I'm calling from New Start in London. Would it be possible to speak to Isabella Swan?"

I froze. This wasn't supposed to happen. They promised. No contact. It must be important though, if they rang me.

"Yes this is she"

"Ms Swan I know that this in breaking all protocol and that we signed an agreement but this is a highly unusual situation."

"You have my attention"

I was amazed at how calm I sounded. Inside, I was feeling myself break apart and could feel the pain in my heart.

"Jessica and Mike tragically passed away in a car crash earlier this evening. Luckily, they were the only ones in the car but upon reading the will it has been discovered that the Newtons wanted you to be contacted if anything happened to them."

I fell on my knees. I was shaking so badly I thought I would fall apart. My heart was thumping so loudly I could hear it thumping in my ear and I felt cold to the core. I knew what this meant. What I had to do. I took a deep breath.

"I understand. I will be there as soon as I can"

"Thank you Bella. I know how hard this must be for you"

I couldn't hear anymore. I put the phone down and pulled out the plug, preventing them from calling back. Telling me more things I didn't want to know and giving me a future I didn't want to face. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I needed to do this; for her sake. I stood up, grabbed my bag and made my way to the door. Then I realised the obvious, I had no money. It would cost hundreds to get there plus food, accommodation and....necessities. There was no way I could do it alone. I almost fell apart when I realised that I didn't need to; there was someone who could help. I grabbed my keys and ran out of the door, heading for the Cullen's'.

It didn't take me long to arrive. I went up the marble steps and rang the bell. It sounded like a fanfare. I hoped and prayed that Alice would open the door. It wasn't her.

"Bella? What are you doing here at this hour?"

Dr Cullen looked concerned but also slightly confused.

"Sorry Carlisle but I need to see Alice. It's an emergency"

He smiled at me and he looked just like Edward.... No. I couldn't think of Edward now. It was his fault I was in this situation. No. It wasn't his fault. It was nobody's fault... Carlisle pulled me out of my thoughts

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"Thanks Dr Cullen but I just need to see Alice"

I said this politely but inside I was screaming. "Let me in! I need Alice!"

"Of course Bella, come in. Alice is in her room."

I smiled at him and sprinted up the stairs. Luckily, I didn't run into Edward or anyone else and just burst through Alice's door. She looked shocked to see me but smiled and beckoned me in. I shut the door behind me; nobody could hear this.

"Alice"

I threw myself into her arms.

"Bella? What are you doing here? Are you OK?"

"No Alice I'm not really OK."

She looked even more concerned than her father. I took a deep breath. She was my best friend, I could trust her.

"I got a phone call from New Start."

She gasped but I continued

"The Newton's died and I was the first contact. They need me over there and I think I want to be there but I don't have the money Alice. I know it's so rude of me and I will pay you back every penny but I need money Alice. Please."

She just smiled at me.

"How much do you think you will need?"

I could have kissed her except that would have been weird.

"I'm really not sure..."

She went over to her bag and took out her purse. She took out a gold card and handed it to me, still smiling

"Take this Bella. It has no limit. Don't worry about how much you spend it, Dad will take care of it- I will tell him it was shoes. It wouldn't be the first time"

I just gave her a hug. She opened her mouth to say something but she hesitated.

"What, Alice?"

She took a deep breath

"I think you should tell Edward. It does involve him after all." She looked nervous, anticipating my response.

"What? Are you crazy Alice, he doesn't know! He doesn't even remember!"

"I know Bella, he's my brother. I just think he should know."

I just shook my head.

"No Alice, he can't know. You have to swear to me that you won't tell him."

Just the thought of him knowing....

"I swear Bella. I will miss you, good luck"

She smiled at me. I gave her another massive hug.

"Thank you Alice. You have no idea how much this means to me"

Then I took a deep breath and walked calmly out of her room, down the stairs, out of the door and into my truck; heading for Seattle International.

Can you guess what has happened? Anyway, hope you liked it. Reviews pleasies =D
