Edward knew he had to fix things with Alice. He walked down the hall to her room and knocked on her door.
"Can I come in Al," Edward said through the door.
"NO," Alice screamed through the tears falling down her face.
"Please I really want to talk to you," Edward pleaded. Alice opened the door.
"So now you want to talk to me," Alice asked him annoyed.
"That's what I wanna talk about," Edward said sitting down on Alice's bed. Alice walked over and sat by him. Edward pulled Alice on his lap.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you," Edward started.
"Why don't you want me to talk to your friends," Alice said while looking up at her brother.
"I don't know. It's just," Edward started, "I just. I feel like they like you better than me."
"Why would they like me better then you? You're my big brother," Alice told him.
"Because you're you. You're a cute little five year old who sees nothing wrong with anything or anybody. You can brighten up any ones day just by smiling or laughing," Edward said looking at her.
"But there still your friends. They still come over to play with you," Alice said.
"They come over to see me, but end up drifting on to you. I mean I should blame Jasper he's the real problem," they both laughed," he just wants to be around you. Sometimes I think he's only my friend because you're here."
"That's not true. At least you have friends. I only have the people that come over for you guys. I just try to make friends with whoever I can so I won't be lonely," Alice said quietly.
"You have friends. You have Jasper and Emmett and Rosalie and didn't you just make a new friend today at school," Edward told her.
"But Jasper and Emmett and Rosalie are your friends. I don't have any real friends. Emmett's my brother. Rosalie's just there and Jasper is your best friend he just puts up with me," Alice said.
"Are you kidding? Yeah Rose isn't the best but Emmett and Jasper would do anything for you. If Jasper wasn't my friend he would still be coming around every day to see you. You're probably his favorite person in the whole world," Edward told his sister.
"Would you?" Alice asked.
"Would I what?" Edward asked confused.
"Do anything for me," Alice asked.
"Of course. You're my little sister. I'm a big brother it's my duty to protect my sister from anything," He told her smiling. Proud of his progress, Edward got up to leave. Just as he was about to open the door a little voice came from across the room.
"Edward why don't you like me," Alice asked looking like a sad little puppy waiting to be adopted.
"I do like you Alice. It might not always seem like it. But I said you're my little sister and I have to protect you. I just wish everyone didn't like you more than me. I do like you though. Actually I love you Alicat," Edward said meaningfully. He turned to leave to have little arms wrapped around his waist.
"I love you too Edward," Alice told him. After Alice let go Edward left the room. He went back to his room to talk to Jasper. From the talk they had both of the kids knew things would be different between them forever.
