ALICE'S POV

I looked at Bella, thinking about whether I should tell her or not. She wanted to know, but I didn't want to upset her. She was waiting for me to tell her, smiling at me.

"Are you sure about this, Bella?"

Bella shook her head, and I knew she wanted to know.

"Alice, if you don't want to talk about it, I don't mind. I was just curious. If it's going to upset you, we don't need to talk about it."

"It's not me, that I'm worried about."

Bella sighed, and grabbed my hand. I was amazed that she was really OK with everything. She didn't say anything when I saw Bret trying to decide what to wear. She just said Angela would be doing the same.

"Don't worry about me, pixie."

Pixie?

I looked at her, and she blushed. She's so cute when she's embarrassed! I didn't mind the nickname, I would have to come up with one for her though. Hm.................

"Pixie? Better than munchkin. Emmett thinks it's funny to tease me."

Bella didn't say anything, and looked away. I tugged on her hand, and she looked at me.

"Sorry, I just-"

"Stop. I don't mind. Just don't call me shortie or munchkin. I don't mind, kitty."

I think it's cute, and .......... Yeah, she's embarrassed.

"I should've been expecting that."

I shook my head, trying not to laugh at the look on her face. She was so surprised when I kissed her, but I could see that she wanted to.

"Yes, you should. But, seriously Bella, are you sure? I'll tell you, but I ......... It's not a pleasant story."

We were side by side, and I could tell she wasn't going to back down.

"I'm sure, Alice. Will I get upset? If it involves you being hurt, then yes I will. But, if it's going to upset you we can talk about something else."

If that's the case, she's going to be more than upset ........... Oh boy, this is not going to end well.

"I was born in 1901. I had my ability when I was human and people didn't like it. They thought something wasn't right. So, my parents decided to do something about, I-"

"Please tell me that you don't mean what I think you do......."

I could see what she was considering, and nodded. Bella got upset, and I wrapped my arm around her. Being around her meant I was OK with this. She leaned in, and I got really see how upset she really was.

"B......... But, there's nothing wrong with what you can do. You can't control it."

"They didn't see it like that, kitty."

"I know, I just............."

I kissed the top of her head, and she sat up. This really upset her. Whoa, she must really care about me.

"I know. Are you OK?"

She nodded, and I continued.

"Now, I don't remember anything before I was changed. I don't know why, but I don't. Carlisle helped me find out more. A vampire, James, was after me. One of the doctors there knew he was after me, and changed me. James killed him for it. James was caught by the volturi for what he did and killed. They enforce the laws we have to live by. He had a few others with him, but they were never found."

Bella was pretty upset by the time I was finished and I put my arm around her again. One thing about Bella, she's really sensitive, not surprising with all that has happened to her. I kissed the top of her head, looking down at her. I knew she would be upset by all of this.

"B....... But, you-"

"Ssh. I know. It's OK, kitty. Why don't we go back to your house? It's getting cold."

She nodded, and after a little bit more reassurance, we got back to her house. We went up to her room, and sat on her bed.

BELLA'S POV

We sat on my bed. I was really upset over what Alice had told me. She was ........... Well, she's Alice. There's nothing wrong with having the gift she has. I was pretty upset, and Alice was there for me. I looked at her, and she was watching me. She took off her jacket, and moved a little closer.

"Alice, I had no idea. There's was nothing wrong with having the gift you do. Even if you do see stuff other people find embarrassing."

Alice shook her head, looking at me.

"How do you think I felt? The girl I've been seeing suffer for 5 years, likes me and she's convinced I'll think she's a freak if she tells me?"

"What did you expect me to think? I'm the school freak and you're gorgeous."

Alice shook her head.

"Bella, ignore what everyone else says. I don't care if you're different, you can't help it, if you're born like that. I think you're beautiful, Bella. Ignore Jessica, she's not worth it. No matter how much I would love to wring her neck."

That made me laugh. I had thought about that, but even though I knew Alice would never do it, it made me laugh. I was stating to feel a little better about things. Alice knew I was upset, but was trying to make me feel better.

"No murders."

"But, I could just-"

"No."

Alice laughed. I knew none of this was serious, but it was fun.

"I don't want the only girl who wants to be close to me arrested. No murders, pixie."

"Fine. But, are you feeling better?"

I nodded, taking off my hoodie.

"Yeah. It was a shock that someone as amazing as you went through that, though."

Alice shook her head, smiling.

"I know. That's why I kept asking if you were sure."

We spent the evening talking, and she left a little while before my dad got home, saying she would see me on Monday.

ANGELA'S POV

I finally decided on what I wanted to wear, and left. We agreed to meet there. I got there early and I saw Bret about 5 minutes later. Apparently we both had the same idea. She ............ She looked amazing. She's a little taller than me, but not much. She smiled at me, and we decided what we wanted to see. She walked ahead of me......... Oh. She was wearing skin tight jeans, and a red shirt. I asked her what she wanted and she shook her head, saying she didn't want anything. I knew she didn't eat lunch at school, but I didn't think much of it. She explained that she had gotten something before she left and I got something for myself.

We sat down, and I thought about how it was odd that she never ate. But, I forgot about it and looked at her. She smiled at me, and the movie started.

About half way through the movie, I brushed against Bret's arm. She was cold, really cold.

"Sorry."

"Hey, you OK? You're cold?"

Bret shook her head, looking at me.

"Poor circulation. Don't worry about it."

I nodded, and she seemed uneasy about something, but I didn't mention it. I was resting my arm on the armrest, and felt Bret take my hand. I looked down, and she squeezed my hand. I'm bi, but I've never actually dated a girl. I looked at Bret, and she could see that I was nervous. She kept her voice low, as she spoke.

"You've never dated a girl, have you?"

I blushed, shaking my head. Bret didn't seem to mind though.

"N..... No."

"It's OK, Angela."

I looked up at her, I thought that would bother her.

The movie ended, as she reassured me that she was fine with it. We walked out, talking. I had a great time with Bret.

"I had a great time, Angela."

I smiled at her, squeezing her hand.

"Me to."

We stopped by her car, a silver volvo.

"Nice car."

"Alice wouldn't let me borrow hers. She has a Porsche."

My jaw hit the floor, making Bret laugh, as she leaned against her car. I realised she had parked right behind my car.

"Yeah, I know. But, she's busy."

I nodded, standing next to her.

"Well, I like your car. I had a great time, Bret."

It was pretty dark out by now, and there weren't that many people around. I think Bret knew that I wanted to take things slowly. She kissed me on the cheek, and told me that would see me on Monday. I went home, and lay on my bed, thinking about everything. My parents knew about the date and were happy I had a good time.
