A/N- So I know I forgot the author's note on the last chapter, but still… not really much to say. Um… we're getting close to 200 reviews. Are we going to get it this chapter? The next one? It's up to you guys!
BirdieInABox16- Well this story does go with the actually books a bit… so yes, this is where Bella's going to try and jump.
EmeraldLace- Run Alice run, indeed!
MainlyMaddison- Or will Alice get there in time? Ok… if you've read the books then you know the answer…
The Classic Chic- The thing about my characters is that they're in my head. I wouldn't be able to find the right person to put up… If I run by someone that looks like her then I might put her pic up.
Superdani- Yup, they're back!
twilghtfan78- Edward left Bella, he just didn't go to Denali. I know my whole Laurent going after her is off, but it's still the same events as the book.
Estelin- I'm glad you like it! Reviewing both my stories now? I'm just excited I have someone reading stories from different categories! Plus now you get two shout outs!
Everyone had gone deathly quiet. I looked up at James quizzically before returning my attention back to Alice. She had tears running down the side of her face and was clinging to Jasper. Everyone just waited for her to get a handle on her emotions. The air was extra calm, most likely due to Jasper trying to calm his mate.
"Bella's going to try and kill herself." Alice said as she finally calmed down. "She's been in La Push with a friend and saw them cliff diving. Even though she's started to get better, it just seems that she's finally giving up."
"When?" Carlisle asked.
"Soon, like in a day or two." Alice replied. "I want to go down there and help her!"
"Alice, I'm not sure." Carlisle said. "She's probably not going to want to see any of us."
"Carlisle, she'll listen to me!" Alice exclaimed.
"Alice…" Carlisle sounded as though he was at a loss for what to do. Everyone lapsed into silence as we were all trying to figure out how to help the human back in Forks.
"Let her go." I said finally. Everyone looked at me curiously. "Bella has come out of her… emotional shell, right?" Alice nodded. "So she's talking and listening to people. She'll most likely listen to Alice since she they were such good friends. I'm sorry Carlisle, but in times like this, it's better to talk to a sister or best friend rather than a father or authoritative figure."
"I guess that makes sense." Carlisle said as he nodded. "Alice, why don't you take your car?"
"Alright." Alice ran back to the room she was staying in and was back in within a second. She had a small suitcase backed, her keys, and a purse. She said goodbye to everyone quickly before leaving to help Bella.
We all remained in the living room as the last event sunk in. James and I knew it was going to be an awkward reintroduction, but we weren't prepared for this. Our thought was broken when Rose stood up and slipped down the hall to her room. Emmett watched her before following her.
"I think we need to continue on with our day until Alice calls us with an update." Esme said. "Now Tanya, what were you going to do with this room?"
Esme and Tanya launched into a conversation about how Tanya was going to redecorate the living room while everyone else gathered in small groups. Eleazar and Carmen came over and talked to James and I, asking us how we'd been and where we had gone. Eventually they left us to go talk to Carlisle.
"James, what are we going to do?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He replied.
"Neither of us really like be cooped up inside. Plus, I did like living as a… what were you called?"
"A nomad?"
"Ya, like a nomad!" I replied. "It was fun, always getting to see whatever I wanted to see, never having to settle down or worry about work or where we would get our next meal from."
"You worry about your next meal, although it isn't a cause of a lot of stress." James replied.
"Still, I was wondering if we could give it a try after this whole fiasco is over." I replied. "You know, just us," I kissed his neck, "and nature," I kissed his neck again, "and no humans or vamps." I finished my kissing the pulse point on his neck, or where it would have been if he has a pulse.
James groaned in response and wrapped his arms tight around me. "That sounds… perfect."
"Rose!" Emmett's booming voice carried itself through the room. Everyone stopped the conversations they had started and looked down the hall. Emmett came storming out followed by Rose. "I can't fucking believe you!"
"Emmett, he had a right to know!" Rose defended.
"No, Alice is going to fix this! We don't know if she's going to die or not!"
"Alice is never wrong!"
"She saw Bella jump, not die!" Emmett roared.
"What's going on?" Carlisle yelled over both his children.
"Rose decided to call Edward and tell him about Alice's vision. Knowing how much of a head case Edward is right now he's probably going to do something stupid!"
"You called Edward?" Esme asked. "How is he?"
Esme can never live down her mothering sense. I smiled at the thought and remembered my mother.
"He's fine." Rose answered. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she was glaring at Edward.
"Was, he's probably breaking down right now. He loves her Rose! If you died, I would probably kill myself!"
"He's not going to go that extreme." Rose huffed.
"He's not mentally stable right now, we don't know what he's going to do! He waited over a hundred years for love and now he's going to lose it!"
"He left her!" Rose yelled back, suddenly switching sides.
"Rose, we already know his reasoning and although we don't agree with it, he's still our brother."
"Come now Emmett, I thought you were looking forward to having another sister?" Rose sneered.
"Of course I was, but Edward's been our brother a hell of a lot longer than Bella's even been alive."
The argument was interrupted by Carlisle's phone ringing. "Hello? Alice, what's wrong? Are you pulled over? Good, now repeat to me what you just said, only slower. Ok, I agree. Keep us updated. Talk to you soon, bye."
Again, the room was silent as we waited for Carlisle to speak.
"Edward's going to the Volturi. He plans to expose us so that the Volturi will be forced to kill him."
"What?" Rose yelled. "I never… I never thought." Now she broke down and Emmett was there to hold her. They had gone from an arguing married couple to comforting lovers.
"Alice is going to go and get Bella and then they're going to fly to Italy to save Edward." Carlisle said. "She will be keeping us updated. Right now, we need to get her tickets to Italy."
"Does she know it was me? That I was the one who called him?" Rose asked through dry sobs.
"No, she doesn't. She just knows that Bella is still contemplating suicide and that Edward is doing the same thing."
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to cause this! I just thought he had the right to know!"
"Rose, honey calm down." Esme said as she joined her son in comforting Rose. "I'm sure everything will come out alright. Alice will be smart and will be able to prevent anything from happening."
"But what about the Volturi? Bella's human, they'll come after her! Plus they've always been interested in Edward and Alice for their powers."
"We'll just have to see what happens." Esme said.
"Edward and Alice are both smart, they can talk their way out of anything, especially when they're together." Carlisle said. "We just need to hope that Bella can survive this. Knowing Aro and Caious, they'll have Jane there and some of the other, talented guards."
"Maybe they won't be able to hurt her. Edward can't see her thoughts!" Rose said, trying to look for something good.
"Yes, but Alice can still see her future." Carlisle said, looking at all of the facts. "We'll just have to wait for Alice to call us back."
Everyone was quiet still and were in their own world. I stood awkwardly with James behind everyone else. I sighed and looked up. Neither of us were comfortable with the situation. "Let's go." I whispered, low enough so just James would hear it. He looked at me curiously and I rolled my eyes. "To our room. I don't think it's appropriate to actually leave just yet."
James nodded and led us back to our room. I got a hug from Laurent on my way out and a smile from everyone else. When we reached our room, we immediately crashed on the bed. Everything that had happened crashed any romantic mood that we had. I just curled up next to James on the bed. "I missed this."
"Me too, well, you in my arms. The bed I can go without." James said with a smile. I rolled my eyes, smiled, and swatted him on his chest. "Guess what I was almost able to do."
"What?"
"Sleep."
"How?"
"I just let myself relax, like you taught me to. Then after my body has completely relaxed, I just let my mind fall into nothingness."
"So you just force yourself into unconsciousness."
"Ya, pretty much." I said with a shrug. "I've never been successful though. I've always been on the edge when things would move or something would force me to come shooting back to reality."
"Do you think that you'd be able to dream?"
"I hope so." I replied. I stretched out before relaxing into James' side again.
"You still act like you're going to sleep. You used to always stretch right before you went to sleep." James laughed.
"Hopefully it's a good sign." I smiled.
