Fixing It

I sat quietly in the back of Alice's Porsche, as she drove me and Rose to Edward's house. As guilty as I was feeling, about ripping Jasper from Alice's life, I was still feeling slightly excited. If my call into the past had changed the future of Alice and Jasper, then surely it would have got rid of Tanya too…
Edward had promised me in that phone call that no one would ever take him away from me, which means he can't have married anyone else, right?
I looked out of the window, lost in my thoughts about Edward. I only looked up, when I hear Alice calling my name.
"Bella…we've reached."
She and Rose turned around to look at me, smiling encouragingly.
I took a deep breath and got out of the car. When I turned around, I saw that both Alice and Rose were still in the car.
"You're not coming?" I asked them, as Rose rolled down her window.
"Uh…no, we thought we'd give you and Edward a little privacy. And anyway I need to go check up on James. Emmett was looking after him, but…well…you know Emmett." Rose replied, while Alice nodded. "Bye. Good luck!" They both wished me.
I shook my head, and walked upto the door. I turned back around, to see Alice and Rose waving to me as they drove away.
I sighed, and quickly knocked the door. It seemed like forever before someone answered the door. As the door swung open, I stared into the eyes of Edward. I waited anxiously to see whether Tanya appeared, or Edward told me to get lost. Instead he stared at me.
"Bella, hi. You're early I thought we decided to meet at 7? It doesn't matter, come on in." He grinned at me.
Thoughts rushed into my head.
So he was acting like he was expecting me. Something had definitely changed. There seemed to be no Tanya, which was good.
Then Edward pulled me towards him, and kissed me. And it felt so wonderful, so…right.
When we finally stopped, I knew it had worked. I followed Edward in, as he chatted happily to me.
"So, have you done any more time travelling lately?" He chuckled at this. "Your parents rang me, you know. It's good you told them the truth. They wanted to see if you'd told me yet, that you were alive. I still can't believe you're alive! I'm so happy! I felt awful when you went missing! Then Tanya was being really nice to me, but then I got that phone call from you. It really raised my hopes, you know. When Tanya asked me to marry her, I told her I couldn't, because I loved you, not her. She slapped me, you know, and accused me of leading her on." He laughed again. "But I didn't care; all I could think of was you. I hated Jasper so much, for not telling us where you were."
This brought me out of my dreamy trance. And the guilt returned. I think Edward sensed it, because he kissed me again. I spent the whole evening with him, we ate dinner, and talked and laughed about our memories and my time travelling. Eventually Alice rang me, asking me if I was going back to her house.
Edward drove me back home, kissed me again, and told me goodnight.
When I got back in, Alice, Rose, Emmett and baby James were waiting for me.
"So…I see it worked! Tanya's gone!" Alice squealed, and she rushed to hug me. Then I got another hug from Rose, and a huge bear hug from Emmett.
I started to choke when I couldn't breathe, and Emmett grinned at me sheepishly.
We played a game of cards, but when Rose started to yawn, we all decided it was late and we should go to bed. Emmett, Rose and James went back home, and Alice and I went upstairs.
An hour later, I found myself sitting in Caitlyn's room, but of course it wasn't the same pink Barbie room I'd seen before, but now it was a plain guest room. I sat down on the bed, and thought about her. I felt so bad. I'd literally deleted her life from the universe. I'd technically killed her.
I started crying, and so I didn't notice when Alice crept in and sat next to me.
"Sorry, I heard you crying. What's wrong? You got Edward back, didn't you?"
"Alice…why didn't you give me this room?"
"What?"
"When I came…you took me to the other guest room. Why?"
"Well…this was the room that I always thought that if I ever had a family, this would be the room I would use as a nursery, for my little girl or boy."
More tears rolled down my face.
"I did something bad, Alice, something very bad. I hurt two people, and ruined someone else's life!"
"Oh my goodness, who did you hurt? And I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose."
"I can't tell you, and it was an accident!"
"Well, can you tell me what you did?"
"N…n…no." I was nearly sobbing at this point. "What should I do, Alice?"
"Well…I'm not sure, since I don't know what you did, but I think that whatever it was, that there will be a way to fix it, and I think you should fix it."
I stopped crying.
"Of course…I can fix it. Everything will be normal again! Thanks Alice." I hugged her tightly then went back to my room, leaving Alice looking slightly confused.
Once I reached my room, I sat on the sofa, and dug out my mobile phone from my pocket in my jeans.
I quickly dialled the number. He picked up on the first ring this time.
"Bella? You haven't come back yet! The police are looking everywhere for you!"
"Have Jasper and Alice broken up?"
"What?"
"Did they break up Edward?"
"Yes, he wouldn't tell us where you are."
"That's because he doesn't know! You have to tell Alice to get Jasper back! Before when I said I was with Jasper, it wasn't true. I was forced to say it!"
"Forced? By who? Have you been kidnapped? Tell us where you are Bella! We'll get you back!"
"Yes I've been kidnapped." I'd decided this was the only rational explanation I could give everyone.
"Bella! Are you hurt? Tell us who kidnapped you Bella! We'll find him."
"Edward, please. I don't have much time. I'll ring again, but please go tell Alice now that she needs to get Jasper back!"
"Bella? I love you and I will get you back."
"I love you too Edward. Go, now please!"
I hung up, and waited. How long would it take Edward to find Alice? Then how long would it take her to get back together with Jasper?
Eventually I fell asleep. It had been a long day. I woke up to feel someone tickling my feet.
I groggily opened my eyes, and saw a blurry Jasper grinning at me.
"Jasper!"
I leaped out of bed, and hugged him tightly.
"Bella? Are you alright?"
"I've missed you so much!"
"Umm…Bella, it's only been one night. I saw you last night, remember, we were playing cards? After you came back from Edward's house? Remember we got rid of Tanya? We made the call into the past?"
I laughed.
"I remember. I'm not suffering from memory loss."
"Really? It seems like you are…"
He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and pushed him out the door, but just as he was turning around, I called him back.
"Jasper? Where's Caitlyn?" I asked hesitantly.
"Uh…nursery. Why?"
I sighed with relief. "No reason."
He frowned at me, then walked away. As I sat down on my bed happily, I felt my phone vibrating. I checked the caller ID. Edward. I'd said I would ring him back, but I'd fallen asleep.
"Bella?" His voice greeted me when I picked up.
"Hi Edward" I replied.
"You said you'd call back! You told me you'd say who kidnapped you! Where are you? How can you be so calm?"
I sighed. So many questions. I knew I couldn't truthfully answer any of them.
"Edward? Ok, listen. I have been kidnapped. I don't know who by, and I don't know where I am either. The only reason I'm calm, is because I know I'm safe. He won't hurt me, don't worry. He also promised to let me go, but only in a few years time. I am allowed to ring you, so it'll all be fine Edward. I promise you. I will come back."
He was quiet for a few moments.
"What's he going to do with you for the few years?" He asked.
"Nothing. He's going to leave me completely alone. I'm locked up though, so I can't escape, but I will come back to you. Just be patient. Please? For me?"
When he replied, his voice was filled with grief.
"You're going to be gone for a few years?"
I couldn't give him false hope.
"Actually, 10 years. I'll come back when you're 31. It'll be fine Edward. I can still talk to you."
"10 years?"
A tear rolled down my cheek.
"But I will come back to you."
"I love you Bella."
A few more tears rolled down. I waited a few moments, so that I could compose my voice so he wouldn't know I was crying.
"I love you too Edward."
Just then I heard some noises on his side of the phone. There were a few murmured voices, then a loud crash.
"Edward? Are you ok?" I asked, anxiously.
"I'm fine. Someone wants to talk to you."
"No, Edward! You can't tell anyone!" I cried out.
"Not even me?" A different voice answered me. A familiar voice. A voice I hadn't heard since the day I disappeared.
"…Jacob?"
Oh no. This was going to change the future a lot.
I had to stop making these phone calls into the past. Alice was right. This was dangerous!
