Sanity: Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not Twilight, and certainly not its brilliant characters.
This one takes place on one of those "check in" times that Edward has with his family in New Moon.

Alice POV:
"I want to see Bella," I stated, my tone deadly. Edward growled. No, it wasn't a growl, because that would have been an emotion other than depression. It was more like a flat, depressed grunt of disagreement.
Edward was giving us his two month check in. What was really annoying me, though, was the fact that he really, truly thought he was "saving" Bella, while he, in reality, was hurting everyone by doing this to himself and Bella. He knows I've had visions about her, and while they may be unavoidable, they still made him even more upset. I know he'd rip my head off and feed me to a mountain lion if I really looked.
"Edward, she still hasn't moved on. You should know that, considering you're the one who loves her. You should realize she will hurt longer than any normal person," I tried persuading him.
To my horror, Edward looked as if he would start sobbing right now.
"Oh, Edward, I'm sorry! I know you're trying your best. Maybe I should just drop… Edward?" He was gone.
Holy crap. I had just driven my own brother out of here by mentally stabbing him. I'm sorry, Edward. So sorry… I thought, knowing he would hear.
And… oh, thank goodness. He'll be back in 22 seconds to reassure me that it isn't my fault…

Of course, I mused sadly after he had left, I always feel that constant pain of loosing not only my closest friend, but also my brother. I don't think I'd be able to survive this myself if it weren't for Jasper. He's always here with me, holding my hand, pulling me through.
