**Disclaimer** Nothing is mine! All the credit goes to Mrs. Meyer for creating such wonderful characters for us to play with. If you recognize something, it isn't mine! I read a lot of fan fics and can't keep straight where I got some ideas from!
Thanks for all the follows. I don't have time to dig though my emails to get all the names, but you are all appreciated!
Sorry for the delay in getting the chapter out. I gave birth to a beautiful daughter at the beginning of April and haven't had a lot of time to write.
The next few weeks went along in the same manner, we went to school, learned about ourselves, and found that spending the school days with a person that wasn't our mate was interesting. I learned that Bella really hated school, and was only doing this for Ness. Jake and Emmett became the best of buddies, much to Rosalie's displeasure. She still didn't like the smell of wolf, and having Emmett coming to bed with eau de wolf on him was a start to many of their fights. I didn't want to tell Rose that he did it on purpose just so they could make up after.
At school, we all played our parts, sometimes a little too well. Edward and Rose had quietly 'broken up' after a week or so of school. The student body was very interested in this development and both had several offers to go on dates per week. Rosalie loved the attention, but was quickly tiring of it.
Alice and Edward had become a bit introverted once they left school. Whatever Alice had been seeing, she was sharing with him now. They both still reassured us that it was nothing, but I wasn't so sure. Sometimes, I would get a wave of sadness coming from them that just didn't make sense.
That brings us to today. Alice and Emmett had something planned for lunch and promised it would be a show. It seemed that even with the play acting becoming more convincing, Rosalie still wanted to be with Emmett at all times. It had become physically painful for them to be separated for longer than a few hours, making school difficult.
As we filtered to our table in the lunch room, Alice and Emmett were already arguing. Alice was accusing him of lusting after Rosalie. Emmett was denying it, but at the same time, couldn't keep his eyes off of his Rose.
"Emmett, you can't even sit here and look at me. I don't see why you deny that you want Rosalie when you can't even keep your eyes off of her. Do you know how that makes me feel?" Alice said a bit louder than normal.
"Alice, babe, you know that I am a one woman man. I don't see what you're talking about," Emmett replied innocently while flashing his dimples for all to see.
"Emmett, you're doing it again. I can't continue like this!" Alice screeched. "You know what? I'm done. Do what you will, I cannot and will not live like this. I know I'm not the woman for you, but at least you could be respectful."
Frowning, Emmett quietly replied "You know what, you're right. I wasn't going to do anything about it because I love you, but I love her too. Allie-cat, you're my little pixie, I don't want to hurt you."
Pretending to cry, Alice replied, "That ship already sailed Em, and we can't bring it back."
At this, Alice left the table and found a place to 'sulk' for the rest of the day.
The rest of lunch was a subdued event at our table. We had to pretend we didn't see it coming. The rest of the lunch crowd however, was a buzz with the news.
A few minutes before the bell rang, I asked Bella if she would go to class a bit early with me. When we got there, I had a few questions for her.
"Bella, have you noticed anything off lately about Alice and Edward?" I asked.
"Yes, Jas. A few days ago I mentioned that I needed to go shopping, and Alice didn't even flinch to help. She's been lost in visions a lot lately, do you think that's why?" She replied quietly.
"I'm not sure Bella, but something is definitely up. She keeps telling me that it's nothing to worry about, but if that's the case, why the secrecy and brooding? I haven't seen Edward this bad since he was deciding if he was going to eat you or befriend you," I told her.
"Gee, thanks. It's nice to know that whatever it is that's bothering them is at the same level decision wise as killing me," she replied tersely.
Before I could reply, the bell rang, effectively cutting our conversation short. I knew we would need to continue trying to figure this out, but it wouldn't happen at home.
The day ended much in our normal fashion. I carried Bella's books out to the motorcycle, and we took off to go home. We had our study session at the end of the day today, and the teacher allowed us to go home if we didn't have any pressing concerns for her to deal with.
When we got home, both of our phones vibrated with texts coming through. Apparently, Alice saw we'd be home early and wanted us to go hunt, there was a family meeting tonight while Jake and Ness were out on a date with friends.
