Belongs to Stephanie Meyer. I just think Alice and Bella are an amazingly cute couple.
Jasper doesn't exist, she's been single like Edward.
Edward has gone hunting with everyone but Alice and now I'm sitting on the bed Edward had got me, confused, scared and ecstatic all at once because of the events that happened earlier today. Since this afternoon I've been thinking of one thing and one thing only: Alice. I've felt the same irrevocable love for her as I have for Edward, ever since that moment of realization, I remember that moment perfectly.
Sitting in my room waiting for Edward I heard Charlie call,
"Bella, Alice is here!" I trudged down to the kitchen.
"Hey Alice."
"Hey Bella." She says with that innocent grin of hers.
"Have fun at the sleepover, Bella." Charlie says walking into the living room, I roll my eyes at that.
"The sleepover?" I ask with a glare.
"Yeah, Edward has gone out hunting and he entrusted me to make sure you won't get severely injured." She says with that smile still on her lips.
"Funny, when will they be back?"
"Sunday."
"Fine" I sigh. And if I wasn't glaring at her, I wouldn't have noticed that flicker of her smile.
Two nights, can't be that bad? At least that's what I thought, bad in the sense of rapid change, but good in every other sense. While walking out the door, I trip and she catches me. Catches me perfectly. Hands in on my back, arms wrapped around me. Her cold, marble skin sending jolts up and down my whole entire body. I don't know what made that rapid change, but something did and the moment she stood me up, I noticed how amazingly perfect her smile was. I missed her touch, I was suddenly missing her even though she was only a couple of paces away. I forgot how to talk, I forgot how to breath. I was only focusing on one thing: how Alice Cullen is suddenly everything I want. Standing in my kitchen, mouth agape, I watch her small form dissappear behind the car and I remember how to breath. I shake my head, and walk out to the car, hands shaking. I put them in my pockets, hoping that the women I realized I just love wouldn't see.
"Let's go slowpoke!" She yells from the car.
I get in and as I watch her hand turn the car key my heart beats faster. I lean my head against the car window, I want to look at her so bad, but I can't. I need to get my breathing in check... and my thoughts. I feel her hand squeeze my shoulder, my heart flutters and I blush. I peer over at her and she's still smiling at me. God, I love that smile. My heart beats even faster, it's like I just ran 6 miles, but I really did was look at her.
And here I lie in Edwards' bed, thinking of Alice and confusion washing over me in great waves. A small tear escapes my red, watery eyes.
A small knock echoes in the room, and I quickly wipe my eyes.
"Come in." I say, my voice shaky. I didn't mean it to be shaky, she walks in and my stomach does a flip, I start inspecting the sheets. I feel the bed shift, and now i'm focusing on her hand that's just in my line of sight on the bed.
"Incase you forgot, Isabella, I can see into the future." I snap my head up. What did she mean by - oh! I feel a fierce blush heat my cheeks up. But I look back down to the sheets. She can't possibly now that I fell in love with her, maybe it's just this moment she saw and she's just wondering why i'm crying. Her hand, the one i'm focusing intently on, starts moving, and my eyes follow, but her hand curls under my chin. I shiver. She lifts my head up, and now i'm gazing straight into her eyes. She smiling, a huge dazzling smile.
"It only proves that what I saw is, in fact, true." It - what does she mean by it? "I just called you by your full name, and not even a glimmer of aggravation crossed your features." She's right, I didn't even notice that until now, and I still don't care. She moves closer moving the hand under my chin, along with her other hand up to my face, then she pulls my face forward and puts a feather light kiss on my forehead. Another tear escapes my eye. A tear meant for Edward. I'm going to break his heart, and there's nothing I can do about it. But i'm going to try, because Alice just stole my heart, soul and body. I can't explain it, but there was something so utterly fantastic about that kiss, I couldn't stay with Edward without a heart wrenching pain. I look into her eyes, as I feel her wipe away that tear. Her eyes, her lips. That perfect face. That amazing hair. I wrap my arms around her waist and bury my face into her neck. But she doesn't hold me back.
"Bella?" I lift my head up but don't unwrap my arms, fearing that I might never get a moment like this again. I just look at her. I don't want to answer her question, what if - "May I hold you?" A huge smile comes across my face, and I bury it back into her neck, shaking my head up and down. Her arms wrap around me, pulling me onto her lap. One arm across my thighs, the other across my back. How times have I used the word perfect?
"I love you." Simple, to the point. Spoken right next to my ear, it was perfect, yet again.
"I love you, too." I lifted my head up to see if she heard me, which is stupid, but she wasn't smiling like I expected. I leaned back a little to see her whole face.
"What?" I whispered.
"I never believed something that perfect, could be that simple." The her grip tightens, and she lifts me up a little only to lay me back down on the bed, which she jumps off from. The worry on my face must of been that evident because she says:
"Don't worry." Then she kisses my cheek. "You should get some sleep." And she leaves the room. I lay down, my eyes tearing up again. How am I going to tell Edward? I try to stifle my sobs, and if they're wasn't a vampire in the other room I would've done a good job.
Sleep eventually engulfs me.
I awake to sun in my face, I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes. After the initial thought of, ugh morning, I jump out of bed and pull the door open.
"Alice!" I call her. She appears a second later at the top of the stairs. She's looking at me, but not smiling, completely frowning, actually. She just stands at the top of the stairs and doesn't move closer.
"I know how much you love, Edward and he's my brother -" But she doesn't finish because I cut in.
"Alice, I just realized yesterday how much you really mean to me. You stole my heart from Edward." I walk towards her, reaching for her hand, as she raises it for me, I link our fingers. "And I did love Edward, but this is different, this - we - just clicked, it feels perfect." I sigh and look down. "It hurts me that i'm going to have to tell him, hopefully he'll understand because I still want him in my life, too." She lifts my chin up.
"Really?" I nod. "Then i'll be right by your side. I can't even begin to explain the feeling I felt when you said you loved me, it was the most amazing thing... your the most amazing thing." I smile, about to say something but two fingers on my lips silence me. "I never needed someone like I need you... may I pick you up?" I nod my head yes, and wrap my arms around her neck. She wraps on arms under my knees, the other around my back. And before I know it, we're running, out of the house, through the woods.
"We're we going?" I ask a little... okay a lot confused.
"Your house." She replies.
"My - My house? Why!"
"You live there."
"Yes, we established that a while ago." Where was she going with this?
"You know that night, where I came back thinking you jumped off that cliff?"
"Yeah?" I asked skeptically, as she set me down on the steps. I followed her into the kitchen.
"And that moment you ran to me, hugging me without hesitation." She said bringing her hand around, showing me my kitchen. "It's the moment I realized I loved you."
I dropped my mouth open for the third time since I realized I loved her.
