APOV (Cause everyone loves Alice!)
Edward was coming, I had seen it. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy his visits, I was really glad to see my brother but when he came it was… complicated. 7 years had passed, 7 long years since he left Bella. Bella was not only his soul mate but my best friend too. It was hard leaving her, I didn't want to leave her, I couldn't even say good bye. But Edward, stubborn Edward, was convinced that it was the best thing for her.
Maybe us leaving did do Bella some good. I had seen a vision of Bella, four years ago. So I knew she was happy. In my vision she was getting married. I saw it all, Charlie walking her down the aisle, a big smile on her face, to her saying "I do" to a long haired Native American. Edward had told me not to look for her future, and I really had listened, but I had seen anyways. I never thought about Bella or that vision when Edward was around. I thought, no I knew it would be hard on him to see Bella with another guy.
I was perched up in a big chair of library of our California home during Edward's visit, mindlessly flipping through the pages of a book. I didn't expect him to come in here; it hurt him too much seeing all the books Bella used to read. I was glad for the alone time, everyone was driving me crazy.
Carlisle and Esme, never smiling, never laughing. Not that they've done much of that since we left Forks but it was even worse with Edward here. Jasper, always blaming himself for what happened to his brother. I've tried to tell him that he couldn't help it and it wasn't his fault but it didn't do a thing. Even Emmett, moping around the house, missing the old Edward.
I was turning the page of a book when I had the vision. It was Bella, sitting in her room, curled in a ball, crying. I looked up and saw someone standing in the doorway. Edward. He had seen the entire vision played out in my head. His face was twisted into a mask of pain. He just stared at me, looking like he would be crying if he could. "Edward, I…" was all I could choke out. I was sure all he noticed about the vision was Bella's tear stained face but I was more concerned about something else. She wasn't wearing her wedding ring.
