Chapter 18 – Saying Goodbye Is Always Hard, Especially If You Love Them

Alice's POV:
Still no answer; I pulled on the handle and with luck it was open. I searched the small room and no one was around. I couldn't go back; no I had to wait for Jasper this was urgent.

I sat on the bottom bed and awaited them. I could do nothing more.
I kept on re living the dream it was awful; seeing Bella like that and being so helpless.

I was such a failure as a sister; I promised her I would be there tonight but here I am sitting on a bed waiting for Jasper.

His family could just swim away from the ship sinking; but all of those people drowning or falling to there death.

More Tears escaped my eyes; that's all I've been doing lately but how could I not cry now? I was going to loose my only sister; my best friend.

Suddenly the door slammed open I looked up hoping to find Jasper but it wasn't him it was Rosalie. She glared at me slamming the door behind her.

"What are YOU doing here?"

She sneered at me; I didn't care if she didn't like me I had to tell her.

"Please help me please"

I had no choice I had to ask her maybe she would help me; I was begging her; she looked scared for a moment.

"Why? And why should I help you for?"

I cried even harder I fell to the floor placing my head in my hands.

"The boat; it's… it's going to sink. Everyone's going to die the women the men and the children. Except you; you can just swim away from it please help me Rosalie; just help me save one person please."

She studied me for a moment. The sighed she sat next to me and comforted me.

"I'm sorry I haven't treated you fairly; you've made my brother so happy. I can't image what it's like seeing these things; I'll help you save one person Alice. Go and say your goodbyes; grab a few things then meet me back here trust me Alice"

What did she mean say my goodbyes? I just nodded and went along with it.
She gave me a smile and left the room. I was confused.

I only wanted to say goodbye to one person; Bella. She's been there for me much more than mother and father. I left Rosalie in the room and ran towards my room.

Hopefully Bella was in our room; while running I kept on playing Rosalie's words in my mind.

"I'll help you save one person Alice. Go and say your goodbyes meet me back here trust me."

Who was she going to save? I burst through the door and raced towards Bella's room. Hoping she was in there I needed to get back to Rosalie fast to ask her what she meant.

I nearly broke the door; I scanned the room no Bella. I looked at the clock on the side; she would be at the feast. Great.

I raced down the stairs to the grand hall; I continued to scan for Bella and no luck at all!

I looked through a window that leads down a deserted hallway. I couldn't belie my eyes. Jacob and mother together and kissing! After I'm finished talking to Rose I'm so going to kick his as* straight back to England.

How could he do this to Bella? But this meant she was free she could date Edward. They make such a cute couple. I wiped the tear from my eye and went to the hall entrance.

There she stood; next to Edward. He looked at her like a blind man seeing the light for the first time.

Of course she blushed every time she looked at him. I didn't want to destroy her happiness but Rose said I had to say good bye I just had to trust her.

I ran up to her and pulled her into a hug. I wouldn't let go; I never wanted to let go. I didn't want to say goodbye but I had to.

"Bella you are the most amazing sister ever I'll always love you; no matter what sisters until the end; you know that right; forever"

She looked at me confused; so did Edward; I showed him what I saw and what Rose had said. He nodded his head slightly

'Take her to the 3rd class party she needs some fun in her life don't let her come after me please Edward I'll always love her.

"Alice I love you too….. But what's going on?"

I just hugged me tighter then kissed her cheek and left. I hated goodbyes. Tears followed once more from my eyes.

I wasn't surprised that Bella wasn't going to give up that easily she tried running after me but Edward held her back.

And that was going to be the last time I'd ever see her. I quickly went back to my room to grab a few dresses and other bits. I slowly opened the door. Taking everything in and stopping the tears.

I walked in my room to find him sitting there. I was scared what was he going to do to me this time?
