I agree with Edwarad.  Alice realizes too much on her psychic ability, thinking she always knows what is best.  Confronting Bella was not the way too go.  Especially after she had already upset Bella with the "poor Edward" comment.  Bella is justified in her anger everything else aside.  And she really doesn't know what happened between Bella and Charlie so Bella probably would have been more sympathetic to Emmett.  Alice is as high on her s*&t list as Edward is.

Author's Response:

Hey krjemb,

She does, I think she focuses too much on events and outcomes and not enough on feelings. Yes, they are both at the top of her s*$t list. lol :) 

Here is the teaser, hope you like it:

 

“Edward POV

 

I pulled my cell phone out as soon as I knew Carlisle was out of earshot, which meant when I could not longer hear his thoughts.

 

I quickly dialed her number before I could change my mind.

 

It rang once—and my pinched the bridge of my nose.

 

It rang a second time, and I ran my hand through my hair.

 

It rang a third time, and I stood and started pacing.

 

I was expecting her voicemail to pick up when she suddenly answered the phone.

 

“Hello?”  Bella said.

 

I love her voice.

 

“Hello, Bella,” I responded.

 

“Edward?” She didn’t sound pleased in the least.

 

“Yes, Bella, please don’t hang up.”

 

“I wasn’t going to.”

 

“You weren’t?” I was shocked.

 

“No, but if you want me to I will,” she said sarcastically.”

 

Thank you for taking the time to not only read but also review, it means a lot to me.

 

Cheers,

Way to go Bella on not only telling Alice off but for kicking her out--awsome!  I sooooo want Emmett to go see Bella next maybe he can break through-he was always her favorite big brother.

All in all a great chapter-can't wait for more!!!

Author's Response:

Hey kkmomo3,

5 stars? for me *smiles*

 I loved that too,  Alice/Bella was my favorite fight. Everyone seems to think Em should see her next... I may have to re-write some scenes.

Thank you and I'm so happy you are enjoying the story.

I love that Bella gets all pissy, kicks Alice out, and then agrees with her that she's being hypocritical. Sigh. Youth.

Loving your story. If multiple stories update at the same time as yours, I always read yours first. ;-)

 

Author's Response:

Hey Beth Cullen,

 Thanks for the stars, that just makes me smile!

 I know, she's trying to figure it all out.

Thank you SO much. That is a very high compliment and I am humbled by it.

WHAT did Alice call Bella? A hypocrite? HOW DARE SHE?

I loved Charlie Swan and when I looked in on him, though physically well, he was a shell of himself. He was lost without knowing she was okay, and he fretted about her his every waking minute.

So... she abandons Bella without a second glance but looks in on CHARLIE? Charlie the deadbeat dad? Wow.

And it is NOT the same. It is nowhere near the same. Charlie knows she's alive. He doesn't call her to make sure she's all right; he calls her so he can whine about wanting his unpaid housekeeper back.

Bella's not interested in playing Dutiful Daughter to Charlie. She's not interested in his emotional blackmail crap. His "come back and have Jake's sons and take care of me so I can be happy" bullshit. So she doesn't answer him every time he calls. 

The Cullens, OTOH, SAY how much they love Bella -but haven't spoken to her or checked up on her for YEARS.

So FUCK that, Alice.

Author's Response:

Hey Bkwrm,

We already spoke about this on the forum so I won't send a super long reply. However I will have you know the housekeeper comment made it into the next chapter I loved it so much!

OMG! I love this story. i love all the different points of view.  i think you have done a good job capturing the cullens personality. cant wait for the next update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response:

Hey I_heart_Jacob_

I'm SOOOOOOO Happy you love this story!! I think a multi POV fic works well in fan fic, because the point to fan ic is to get into the minds of the characters and play "what if", so I'm happy you appreciate the multi POV.

Thank you, I try to do my best.

 This is un-beta'ed so be kind! Here is the teaser for ch 12:

 

 

Alice-POV

 

I don’t know why I was so anxious. Esme had given me Bella’s number, and I knew she was going to allow me to come over. I guess it was the formality of it all.

 

I dialed her cell number. It rang once, twice, on the third ring she picked up.

 

“Hello,” she said, sounding horrible and sleepy.

 

 I guess I woke her up even though it was noon.

 

“Hi Bella, it’s Alice,” I chirped.

 

“I know it’s you, Alice. What do you want?” Her tone was weary.

 

“I wanted to know if I might be able to see you today. Could I come over to your house?” I asked tentatively.

 

“Just you?” she pressed.

 

“Yes, just me. He knows not to come,” I informed her.

 

In my vision of this conversation, using his name didn’t help. In fact, she would not let me come over at all. Beyond this phone call, though, I saw nothing.

 

“Okay, I’m sure you already know the address,” she said as if she really didn’t care.

 

“Thank you, Bella; I’ll see you in an hour or so.” No sooner did I finish my sentence had she hung up the phone. There was no “goodbye” or “see you soon.”

 

Maybe it’s because you never said goodbye to her four years ago. The only difference is she never thought she would see you again, I thought.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the teaser. Thank you for taking the time to not only read but also review this story, I appreciate it more than you know.

 

Cheers,

I love this story and I think this was one of my favourite chapters. I loved Bella and Esme bonding, it was lovely. This should teach Edward never ignite the wrath of Esme, I'm glad she shouted at him, he needed a kick up the arse. Ha ha. Love it please update soon.

Author's Response:

Hey xxkittykatxx,

WOW that is such a compliment. It seems to be consensus that everyone love Bella and Esme bonding, thank you for saying so. Oh no you don't want to hurt one of her kids. He's not heard the end of his family...hehehe.

Great chapter! Its great that esme knows the truth now and can build back up the relationship she once had with bella. I think that now it should be a gradual process with bella allowing the cullens back into her life one by one. It would be great to see jasper and emmett spending some time with bella and getting back into her life. Looking forward to your next update please update sn.:-D
