I woke up, and looked at Alice beside me. She was talking in her sleep. I smiled when I heard her say my name. She moved closer, her arm across my stomach. I just lay there, not wanting to wake her. It was only 8:30, so I didn't think she would wake up for a while.

"Mmmmm, Bella."

What was she dreaming about exactly?

She moved, kissing my neck. Oh, I hope no one walks in on this.

Thankfully, I couldn't hear anyone up, so I relaxed.

A little while later, she woke up, smiling at me. She kissed me, laying her head back on my shoulder.

"Comfy?"

She laughed, propping herself on her elbow.

"What time is it? And, yes, I am."

I checked my phone and it was 9:15.

We got up, and went downstairs. Everyone was getting up by now.

After breakfast, Alice decided that she wanted to go for a walk and dragged Rosalie and I with her. We just smiled and followed her. Rosalie just shook her head, following her sister.

The house was in the middle of the forest, and we ended up in a meadow. It was beautiful. Alice sat next to me, and Rosalie started talking about school.

"Well, this explains why you were nervous when I met you at school."

Well, I wasn't exactly expecting to see my girlfriends sister when I walk into her class, was I?

I blushed, not saying anything.

"Yeah, and you said I was hard on my students."

Rosalie shook her head, looking at Alice.

"I was only trying to help Bella relax. I was wondering what had you so happy."

I knew what she meant. Alice had really changed, in the last few months. She'd really relaxed, and even though she still had some issues with nervousness and a few other things, she was doing better than she was when this whole thing started.

"Yeah, I'd told Bella all about you, didn't I?"

I nodded, looking at Alice. I remembered everything she had told me.

"Yeah, you did. Although, the bickering with-"

"Yeah, yeah. You were asking the impossible."

Rosalie looked at the 2 of us, confused, so I decided to explain.

"I was fighting with my cousin Lucy, and she told me to stop. So, I told her to stop fighting with Emmett."

That was also the time she threatened to withhold cuddles for 2 weeks.

Rosalie laughed, listening to me.

"It's hopeless Bella. They never stop."

I looked at Alice, and ..................... We have the pout. I swear she looks so damn cute, when she does that.

"Looking at me like that's not going to work, you know. Fighting is only going to make you both annoyed."

Rosalie laughed, watching us. Alice glared at her, but she just looked at me.

"Anyway, how did your dad react? Alice said he threw you out?"

"Yeah, he did. He freaked out and I ended up staying with her. A few days ago, there was a knock on the door, and it was my dad. He apologised for over-reacting. He said it was a shock, to find out I was dating my chemistry teacher, but he eventually accepted it."

Rosalie looked at me, listening.

"Yeah, then he lectured me on how I should take care of her."

Alice leaned against me, looking at her sister. I felt a little nervous, but Rosalie never said anything. Rosalie just laughed, shaking her head.

"Really? I mean, I understand he's concerned, but ................... Well, I don't think you would've done this if you didn't really care about her. I can see you can. Both of you. I can see that both of you care about each other."

I blushed, but Alice just smiled at Rosalie. I really did care about her.

"Yeah, he didn't look at it like that though. It'd been going on for just over 8 months when he found out."

She was right. But, lecturing her was kinda pointless. She'd been with me through the whole thing with Mitch, and I'm here for her when she wants to talk about anything.

"I know. But, considering-"

"I know, Rose. He doesn't know that though, does he?"

Rosalie looked at Alice.

"I was talking about Mitch, Ali'. I wasn't talking about anything else. I was going to say that he should know how much you care about her, I mean, you spent how much time with her in the week after that?"

"I went over every day. Although, I think I had to stop her murdering her friend Angela though."

Alice looked at me, and I shook my head. I looked at Rosalie, who looked confused.

"She found my music stuff and was going through it."

"Oh. You can't be as bad as her, with her Paramore stuff."

I smiled, thinking about what I would say next.

"Actually, we both like them."

Rosalie didn't seem surprised by that, and we spent a little while in the meadow, talking.

We walked back up to the house, and I sat next to Rosalie. Alice and Emmett started bickering and Esme walked into the living room. She sat down, and we heard a yelp, yeah she hit him. This was getting ridiculous.

"I've given up on them."

I looked at Esme, as we listened to them bicker.

"Yeah, she told me that they were always fighting-"

"Ow! What was that for?"

I shook my head, and Rosalie looked at me.

"You wanna try?"

I shook my head, and decided to go and get a drink. I was in the kitchen when it got louder. I decided to at least try.

"If you 2 don't stop all that fighting, I will!"

They walk in, Emmett was sulking and Alice was glaring at me.

I sat down, putting the glass on the coffee table. I could tell everyone was trying not to laugh, but it seemed to have worked.

Later that night, I was sitting on the bed, talking to Alice.

"Well, it worked, didn't it?"

She glared at me, but she just looked adorable.

"Looking at me like that, just makes you look adorable, pixie."

She shook her head, walking over to the bed, and sitting down.

"I am not adorable. And, I know it worked."

I grabbed her hand, tugging her closer. She moved a little closer, and smiled at me.

"You are to me. You are my pixie, aren't you? And it was that or bang your heads together. And, I don't think you'd forgive me for that."

She blushed, and stood up. She made sure the door was closed, and sat down next to me. I was confused, about why she had done that, but I knew she'd explain it.

"I know, I just hate when people call me that. And, I doubt you would've done that to me. You'd probably wanna cuddle instead. You love your cuddles, right, baby?"

I smiled, moving a little closer. She was right, though.

"You know I do. But, I think you you're gorgeous, you know that."

Again, she blushed. The first time I'd told her that, it just slipped out. But, I meant it, regardless of whether it was accidental or not.

"How do you think I felt when you walked up to my desk? I know you thought that I was having trouble with your name, but I wasn't. Looking at you ................... Well, I couldn't have said something no matter how much I wanted to. I saw you watching me when people walked up to me. You have no idea how that made me feel."

I didn't know what to say, so I just tugged her closer and pulled her onto my lap.

She nuzzled my neck, leaning against me.

"I love you, Alice. That's never going to change. I was watching you al that time, because I wanted to ....................... I wanted you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what."

She kissed my neck, and we fell asleep together like that.
