Alice POV

God life without Bella has been tough to say the least. Not long after we arrived home Edward read my mind and found out about my feelings for Bella. I was so distraught that I didn't even think about keeping him out of my head. To say he was angry would be the biggest understatement of my life and I'm over one hundred years old so that's saying something. He completely flipped if Jasper hadn't shown up God knows what would have happened.

Jasper.

I swear he is the most caring and understanding guy I know. He didn't get upset or anything. We talked and he told me he always knew. Every since I started having visions about her he knew how I felt. He said he was selfish for staying with me and standing in the way when he knew I loved another. Can you believe this guy? I fall in love with someone else and he says he is selfish. I hate that I can't love him the way he loves me. He even chose to continue to stay with me to keep up appearances although I have been encouraging him to go out and find his true mate. He of course refuses stating that if I'm going to suffer for loss of love so shall he.

The thing I'm surprised about is that Edward didn't tell the rest of the family about my feelings for Bella. Even when the family asked what was going on between us he didn't say a thing. I know not the typical woe is me Edward reaction we usually have to look forward to. The only thing I could come up with was that Edward didn't want to bring or family dynamic anymore ripples and tears than what it already suffered.

The family has all suffered from leaving Bella behind, even Rose believe it or not. It's like Bella got a piece of us all and leaving her has been hazardous to us all. Our whole family has gotten shaken up. That's the reason we moved in with the Denali's because being by ourselves was so stressful. We needed someone who didn't know about Bella to distract us so we could move on. Although since I have been e-mailing Bella regularly so I guess I've been taking it better than anyone else.

I'm actually checking my e-mail now. Bella is telling me about her and the dog's relationship. I hate that she's with him but I have no choice, but to let her have any semblance of happiness since I can't be with her. Because I love her, I have to let her be happy. That's why I suggested that we stop e-mailing each other, so she can put herself completely into her relationship. Lucky for me she apparently needs the contact with me as much as I need it from her. It was the only way I could know what was going on with her because for the last four months I couldn't see her in my visions. I assume it's because her and the dog are spending much more time together. I was about to e-mail her back when I got another e-mail from her. I decided to read this one before I e-mail her back. When I opened it I realized it wasn't from Bella. It read:

Shortie,

Red has Bella. I need help. Hurry back.

Jake

All of the sudden everything went black.

A/N: Short I know. I was going to make it longer but it seemed like a good place to stop this chapter. So Alice can't see Bella, but it's not for the reasons you think. You'll find out why she can't soon, but I'd love to hear why you think Alice can't see her. I'll probably update as soon as tomorrow. R&R
