Hi guys. I wrote this new chapter as quick as I could. I won't be having a lot of time soon, since I'll be moving out to Scotland, but I will definitely keep on writing for this story. I really hope you like this chapter, and of course I'm curious to hear what you think!

The song Alice is singing inside her head is by Paramore, I caught myself.

BPOV

After hours of walking around in clothing shops I seriously don't see how it can still be interesting for Alice. She doesn't skip any shop, and I don't know how long I can keep on walking after her.

"Alice.." I start.

"Yes, Bella?" Alice doesn't look up to face me, but keeps on going through some skirts on a shelf.

"I'm kind of.. tired. And a little hungry. I do eat, remember.."

Alice looks up at me now and smiles at me, looking apologetic.

"Oh. I'm so sorry Bella. You know how I am when I see new clothes within my reach. I just feel like running around and grabbing as much as I can." Alice winks at me.

I laugh and reach out my hand to hold onto her arm for a second.

Hmm.. soft.. cold skin.."

I know you better than you think, Alice, it's okay. But can we just get something to eat soon? I think my stomach will come out and look for food itself, that is if I don't get it quick."

She nods, smiling a big smile and we walk out of the shop, in search of food.
We pass a lot of fast food restaurants but I really don't feel like that today. Once we find a small cafe I nod approvingly at Alice, and she does the same at the exact same time. I start to blush and giggle. Inside the cafe there aren't a lot of people. A few older women in the corner, two men at the bar and us. We walk to a table in front of the window and sit down, Alice sitting in the shade, facing me from across the table. I smile at her and quickly grab the menu. When the waitress stands next to our table, greeting us, Alice orders for me.

Of course she knows what I wanted to order..

"Not fair!" I say, playfully.

"I know, but it's so easy.." Alice winks at me.

I stare into her eyes and she stares back, making me flush. Quickly I look out the window and see a woman, walking past with a small dog on a leash, following her, or more being dragged..

"Here is your yoghurt and fresh fruit salad, enjoy."

Before I can thank the waitress, she's already gone. Instead I pick up a spoon full of yoghurt and bring it to my mouth quickly.

"It really doesn't look appetizing at all," Alice says, looking a little disgusted.

"Well, it's doesn't taste amazingly, but it's just something I'm used to eating." I smile sweetly before putting another spoon full inside my mouth.

"Yum," I say, teasing Alice a that I grab a few cherries and chew on them slowly.

Alice keeps looking at me while I eat, causing me to blush a bright red colour.

"Want to try a strawberry?" I ask, teasingly, holding one in front of her face.

Alice keeps staring at me with a smirk on her face, then leans in and slowly takes a small bite of the red fruit in my hands.

Wow. The way her lips close around the strawberry is the most erotic view ever..

Even though she tries to hide her disgust, I see her nose wrinkle and her lips pout a little.

"Hmm.. tastes.. nice.." she manages to both laugh loudly and I start eating the remaining yoghurt and fruit on my plate. I can feel Alice's eyes burning on my forehead, but look down at my plate.

What is she looking at?"Oh, Bella. I've seen the most perfect dress for you, and I know we'll find it this afternoon!" Alice cheers, almost bouncing up and down in her seat. I know she tries to stay calm, just clapping her hands together softly.

"Can you walk one more hour? Oh please, Bella. I know it's going to look so good on you! ..Edward will love it! I'm sure!"

I sigh and look up at her perfect face again.

Edward will always say that I look perfect in something, whatever it is..

"Sure. I trust you," I say, staring deeply in her eyes.

"Great," Alice cheers and gets up from her seat.

"Let's go! I'll pay!"

Alice and her shopping-addiction. Will I ever get used to it? Surely not..

...

"Here it is! Here it is!" Alice cheers, pointing at a dress in the window of a luxurious clothing shop.

With one look at the dress I know for sure that this is going to be really expensive. I'm sure I can't even pay for this..

"Let's go inside!" Alice takes my arm and pulls me inside, smiling from ear to ear. While I try to walk slowly and look around for a moment, Alice immediately walks towards the rack of dresses in the back of the shop.

"Bella, here! It's this one here!" Alice holds up a dress for me to see.

It looks beautiful. A crimson red, silk dress, knee length, with black lace around the edges. I walk closer to Alice and stand next to her, already admiring the dress she's holding.

"Don't you love it, Bella? I know it's so perfect for you!"

Alice looks at me.

I'm sure she's wondering what I'm thinking right now."You've already seen me wearing it, so I might as well try it on," I wink at Alice.

We walk to the fitting rooms and I close the swinging door behind me, Alice waiting outside for me. It takes only a short moment to change into the dress. For a second I stand there, looking at myself in the mirror. This dress is really gorgeous. When I walk out of the fitting room Alice is looking at me, proud and smiling brightly.

"Done deal!" Alice cheers, leaning against the wall.

I smile at her and then start searching for the price tag. Before I can find it I feel a short tug at my back and hear a tag being ripped off.

"No need for knowing the price, Bella. I'm buying it for you. It's my gift to you."

She grins and turns me around to face the fitting room again.

"Go change into your own clothes, so I can take the dress and pay for it."

Alice turns around and I take a step forward into the fitting room. Before I can hold on to something I trip over my own shoes and fall forward in the small space, hitting my head against a mirror and I can hear it smash into pieces. A sharp pain stings in my arm and I can see shards of the mirror sticking out.

"Bella! What's going on?!" Alice shouts from outside the room. The door is closed behind me so she can't see me.

"Alice! I think you better stay outside!"

Shit.. this can't be happening..

APOV

Before I can think to react, the smell of warm blood fills my nose.

Oh no, my vision.. The blood, resisting.. accident..I feel it burning in my throat, Bella's blood smells stronger than any human I've ever smelled. Not at all unpleasant..

Alice, this is Bella! You have to stop thinking like that and help her! NOW!My hunger feels unbearable and I clench my fists while trying to resist sucking her dry. The other part inside me fights to be strong for Bella. I need to know what is wrong, and I need to know it now.
I open the swinging door and see Bella lying on the floor, one hand pressed against her face and the other hand holding onto her arm. Blood drips from under her hands, down her cheek and arm.

"Alice, it's okay. You can let someone else help me."

Bella looks up at me and I feel some kind of pain in my chest, knowing that she might be scared of me, thinking of me wanting to drink her blood. Quickly I kneel down next to her and take her hands away from the cuts.

She smells so good.. she looks so.. scared, in pain..

I cup her face in my right hand and hold onto her bleeding arm with my left.

"It's okay, Bella. I'm not going to hurt you," I sigh, hoping she believes me.

Her eyes are pooling with tears and underneath the blood her cheeks turn a bright red.

"Bella, it's going to be ok. I'm here. I'm going to get you home to Carlisle and before you know it you'll be all right again."

Bella looks straight into my eyes and I feel a shiver go down my spine.

What is she thinking..?

For the shortest second Bella leans closer to me, not taking her eyes away from mine. Her lips are so close to mine, I feel her breath against my lips.

"Alice.." Bella sighs.

Yes..?

My mind goes blank and I feel Bella's bottom lip grace against mine. Then, cold again. Bella is sitting up against the wall, staring at her hands that are covered in blood.

Did I just imagine it all? Am I going crazy!?

Not knowing what is going on, I quickly grab my phone from my purse and dial Emmett's number. After telling what happened I tell him goodbye again and look back at Bella. Her eyes are searching across my face, for I don't know what.

Did Bella really kiss me..?

"Emmett is coming to pick us up. He's almost here."

Bella nods at me, still staring at me, her face flushed. I get up and peek outside the fitting room. No one is looking, the shopkeeper is talking to someone on the phone.

"Let me help you out of this dress. Otherwise they might think we want to steal it.." I hold out my hand and Bella grabs it quickly.

I see the cuts are hurting her, she flinches but tries to hide her pain. Slowly I remove the dress from her shaking body and help her put on her own clothes. Bella sits down on a chair in the little hallway and I run to the counter to pay for the ripped dress, and a new one. Before the man can ask me any questions I throw the money on the counter and run back to Bella, who's sitting there, staring at me again.

"Let's go."

I'm supporting Bella outside and see Emmett standing next to his car. His eyes grow bigger once he sees the blood that is covering Bella's cheek and arm, and his yaw drops seeing the blood on my hands. Quickly he walks towards us and holds onto Bella's other arm.

"Are you two okay?" Emmett asks.

Emmett looks at me and knows I didn't hurt her.

I could never hurt Bella..

Bella sits down in the back of the car, and I sit down next to her, holding her close to me. Emmett drives faster than he normally does, and we reach the house within a few course Edward is standing outside, waiting for us. He must have heard my thoughts as we drove closer to the house. Before the car is fully stopped Edward is standing next to it already and opens the door on Bella's side.

"Bella, love! Are you ok!?" His eyes flash in anger towards me.

"I thought she was going to be safe with you!"

I shiver hearing his angry voice in my mind, but keep calm.

"Bella tripped, it's nothing serious, Edward. You know how she is, and I am only human for that part. Can't stare at her every step.."

Edward looks back at Bella, who is looking sadly at me.

"Carlisle will help you Bella, and I'm sure Edward is happy to take care of you from here."

Bella gives me a little smile and looks at Edward. She steps out of the car and Edward supports her towards Carlisle's office, inside the house.

I could have done.. YOU'RE PUSHING AND PULLING ME DOWN TO..

I give myself a mental smack on the head and walk inside with Emmett.

"I'm proud of you, sister!" he grins, hugging me with one arm while we walk. "She really does smell good, and she's lucky that you were there with her, and not some other vampire.."

If he only knew about my inside struggle.

I nod and smile back at him, punching him against his arm.

"You know me. I might not even be a real vampire when it comes to blood sucking." I wink at him and he laughs, loudly.

Once inside I run up to my room and lock the door behind me, not that it would really matter. I look at the blood on my fingers and inhale deeply.

You know you want to try it, just try it, nothing harmful about this..

Another smack. I need to stop thinking those things while Edward is so close, just a few rooms away, with Bella..
I block my mind and open my diary. Time to do some serious writing.
