"I love you Edward," She whispered, touching the grass between us.
"You do?" I asked, even though I knew the truth.
She smiled and looked down at her empty hand. I grabbed her fingers and put mine between the empty spaces.
"Forever." She promised and looked up at me. She smiled and my heart lifted. I wanted this to last forever too.
I couldn't stand this. I needed Bella. I needed her. I need to know how she's doing, what she's thinking..
If she's thinking of me. I felt so useless. Unattatched. Worthless. I had so many thoughts running through my mind,
now that I actually had space. It was unusually odd, my encounter with Julianna earlier. We started talking,
and she started to cry. I didn't know why, didn't want too either. But I couldn't just stand there looking like an idiot.
Of course I comforted her and asked her what was wrong. She just stared at me dumbfoundedly and then slowly walked
away. What is with her? No human teenage girl has ever walked away from me. Besides Bella. Bella. I groaned.
"Thinking about her again?" Alice's tiny voice asked and took me away from my thoughts. She was painting me.
"How could you tell?" I asked. Alice looked over at me, then the painting, and back at me.
She hesitated, "Edward. You're a complete mess. You're out of tune. You're not even you."
"Thanks for reminding me." I grumbled.
She pursed her lips and went back to her painting. "Well, you'll be alright. Bella hasn't been harmed."
"Yet." I growled. "How come you can't see who has her?" I questioned.
She sighed, "It's complicated Edward. It's like a shield. People don't want me seeing their future." She shrugged.
I heard the front door open and turned to see who it was. Emmett walked in angrily and stormed up the stairs,
Jasper dashed in not too long after. Alice smiled at Jasper and ran to him. She leaped into his arms, and he chuckled.
I turned my head not wanting to watch what happened next. Before I knew it, Alice had the easel back in her hand.
"Edward, turn you head slighty to left." I did so and sighed. I'm Alice's victim when she's bored. She's such an artist.
"I don't like this Julianna girl," Alice said softly not taking her eyes off of me.
"Who?" Jasper asked quietly from the couch before I could respond. I turned to him and was about to explain.
"Edward!" Alice snapped, and I quickly retorted my face back to it's posistion. Alice relaxed and dipped her brush.
"She's some pretty southern canadian. I can't see her future. It's rather frustrating." Alice fretted.
"Hmm." Jasped thought out loud and I eyed him curiously.
"Edward!" Alice shrieked and I turned around quickly, glaring at her.
I don't know how long I was staring out the window, it must've been for a while because I heard Alice's voice,
"Edward? I told you a half hour ago I was finished.." I yawned and looked at her.
"Can I see it?" I asked.
"Later. It's in no shape for human eyes." She smiled back at me and I just nodded. I didn't feel like arguing.
Alice and Jasper left a few minutes later and Emmett walked into the room.
He saw me sitting on the stool and plopped onto the couch.
"Edward?" He questioned and I looked up. "I need you to trust me."
"I do." Was my short response.
"No, really. I didn't cheat on Rose. I can't explain what happened at the moment, but I promise that I didn't kiss her."
He looked like he'd been stung a million times. "I'm in love with Rosalie." His voice cracked.
Emmett was like a robot for the rest of the day, still trying to extinguish the bewildering fire inside of him.
He sat at the kitchen table staring down at his fists. Finally, he sighed and released them, revealing his ring.
I couldn't really help but gape at him. "You took it off?" I pointed out. He looked up at me in disgust.
"I knew he did." Alice murmured.
"I'm going to go look for Rose." He replied calmly ignoring Alice.
"I knew he was going to do that too." Alice rattled.
"Must you?" I asked her in a stern voice. "Emmett has enough on his shoulders, Alice."
"Oh, please!" Alice mocked and danced away soothingly. Emmett shook his head in her direction.
"By the way, Emmett, you're not going to find her." Alice called and turned around. She narrowed her eyes.
Emmett's chair scraped across the floor in a flash and he was in Alice's face within a half a second.
"What's your problem? Why are you being like this!" He grumbled loudly and threw his hands in the air.
Jasper was at Alice's side within a heartbeat and tugged at her waist.
"My problem? Oh, i'm not the one with the problem." She replied coldy. That's not Alice. Why would she act like this?
"Don't get me started Emmett, I've enough to worry about and now you-" Alice cut herself off.
She stared past Emmett at nothing in particular. She gasped.
Jasper stared at her worry in his voice, "What is it, Alice?" He whispered his eyes locked on her face.
Even Emmett completely forgot about his anger, staring at Alice's deprived face.
"..It's.. It's, Rosalie. She.. found Bella.." My heart froze. Literally.
