The Plan : Part 1

Disclaimer : I don't own Twilight and Eclipse movie was amazing :D

We were all grouped together around the kitchen table, looking solemn. Me, Alice, Rose, Emmett and Jasper. Even little Caitlyn looked serious. I couldn't help but smile when I looked at her, Alice and Jasper. This is what I had wanted with Edward. A family. My own little family. Alice's voice brought me back into the present.

"So we all know the plan, right? Bella will ring Edward and tell him to stay away from Tanya. Since he is madly in love with her…"

"Was." I interrupted.

Everyone looked at me, slightly confused.

"Since he was madly in love with me." I explained.

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Well…this is awkward. " Emmett grinned.

"It wasn't awkward until you said it was awkward, and now it is awkward since you've said it was awkward, therefore making it awkward." Rose told him.

"Is anyone else sick of the word awkward?" Jasper grinned at me.

I smiled at them, while Alice cleared her throat loudly.

"Sorry." I apologised.

"Anyway," she continued. "Edward from the past will listen to her, so when Tanya tries to flirt with him, he will ignore her and so eventually Tanya will give up and therefore they will never get married. Which means Tanya from the future, the evil one, will disappear, so that when Bella goes to meet Edward, he will be single and so happy to see her that they will fall in love and probably get married on the spot."

Alice looked around the table at all of us.

"Sounds good." Jasper said. We all agreed. Alice kissed him, and then turned towards me.

"Now Bella, you have to be very careful with what you say, because any slight mistake could drastically change the future."

"Right. So no pressure." I sighed.

Rose nodded to the phone in my hand encouragingly.

Alice squealed and we all looked at her. She shook her head while beaming at me.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so excited! Isn't this fun? Altering the past and changing the future? You can't tell me none of you guys are not excited to see what's going to happen?"

"Umm….can I ring now? Because I would really like to have Edward back."

Alice smiled sheepishly. "Right. Of course. Your love is more important, sorry."

"Thanks." I took a deep breath and switched the phone on. Again my phone had like a million missed calls and messages. I ignored them, and opened up my contacts, scrolling down until I found Edward. My finger hovered over the call button.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked me.

"Uh, nothing. I'm just a little nervous. You kind of freaked me out with the whole changing the future thing."

Jasper chuckled.

"Come on Bella. We all know you're not a wuss."

I knew what he was trying to do, but it wasn't working. I sighed again, and put the phone back down.

Rose sighed.

I looked at her apologetically.

"I am really sorry, it's just I thought, what if Edward is happy with Tanya? I couldn't do that to him; just rip her out of his life."

"But you wouldn't be doing that, would you? He wouldn't even remember ever being in love with her. But he would remember the pain of losing you. Would you want to do that to him? Have him relive the pain. I'm sure it hurt him a lot, to have to turn you down again, even if he thinks he's doing it because he loves Tanya." Rose said softly.
I remained quiet for a long time. Eventually Alice picked up my mobile and pressed it into my hand.

"You know you have to do it." She murmured.

"For Edward." Jasper said.

"For Edward!" Emmett repeated.

I looked at the faces of all my friends, and then I thought about the one who was missing. Edward. They were right. I couldn't live without him.

I found Edward's number, and after looking up one last time, firmly pressed the call button.

"Speaker phone!" Alice whispered urgently.

I found it, and put the phone down on the table.

Everyone was quiet as we listened to the phone ringing. Then Edward's frantic voice came on. My heart ached as I listened to him.

"Bella! Where the hell are you? Have you any idea how worried we all are? It's been 4 days! And no ones heard from you! Your parents are so worried. I'm so worried! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
When his voice stopped I tried to speak.

Alice nodded to me encouragingly.

"Edward? I'm fine, I just need to tell you something."
"Oh thank god you're alive! What is it? And where are you?"

"Umm…I just need you to stay away from Tanya. I…uh…heard something from someone that she was going to try and steal you from me."

Edward was quiet for a moment.

"Bella…no one could ever take me from you. I hope you know that."

"I do Edward."

Rose smiled at me, and Emmett gave me a thumbs up.

"So Bella where have you been? You just disappeared from that bar! Its been 4 days! 4 days! Have you rang your parents? Where are you?"

"Where am I? I'm…umm…"

I looked to Alice for help. She gestured frantically to herself then Jasper.

"What?" I mouthed.

She pointed to Jasper again.

"I'm…uh…I'm with Jasper. I'm safe though." I told Edward.

"You're with Jasper? What are you doing with Jasper?"

"I'm ok Edward. Just remember, stay away from Tanya."

"Bella? Are you coming back? "

"I will Edward. And I love you."

Blocking the sound of Edward's protests on the phone, I hung up. I felt happy. It was going to work! I could feel it! He would listen to me, and Tanya would have disappeared now. I looked up to see Alice, Rose and Emmett smiling at me.

"Alice? Where's Jasper?" I asked her, slightly confused. Why would he leave? "And where's Caitlyn?" Maybe he took her somewhere.

Alice looked sad for a moment, and then puzzled.

"Why are you bringing Jasper up? We broke up ages ago. And who's Caitlyn?"

I was shocked. Alice and Jasper broke up? Ages ago? And why didn't Alice know who her own daughter was?

"You're kidding, right?" I asked, hesitantly.

"No. Why would I kid about that? Jasper was the guy who I thought was the one, but we broke up because of you, remember? And who's Caitlyn?"

I was horrified! What had I done? I had obviously changed something in the past, which had meant that Jasper and Alice had never got married, and so never had Caitlyn, but what? I thought back over my conversation with Edward. What had I said that had caused them to break up? A shiver ran down my spine. I looked at Rosalie, to see if she still remembered him, but she was looking at me as if I had gone crazy. I turned back to Alice.

"Why did you break up? I don't know. I went missing then, remember?" I asked her.

"Oh right. Well, about five days after you disappeared Edward got a phone call from you. During the phone call, Edward asked you where you were, and you said with Jasper. So we asked Jasper where you were, and he claimed he didn't know. But why would you lie, right? He kept claiming that you was lying, and he swore you weren't with him, but you were so I dumped him. It hurt me, but I couldn't be with him, if he lied about knowing where you were."

A tear ran down her cheek and she turned to wipe it away. I looked at Rose.

"Why are you bringing that up now, Bella? And anyway don't you want to check if it worked? Whether Tanya has gone or not?"

Her change in subject worked, and Alice leaped up and got her car keys. She turned to me.

"I'm so happy, that you're going to get the guy you love." She smiled sadly at me and walked to the car. I heard the grief in her voice.

What had I done?
