“So, when she called you-”

“Exactly. Are you sure you’re OK with all this?”

Alice seemed nervous, so I wrapped my arms around her.

“Alice, I care about you. Nothing you ever tell me will ever change that, OK?”

She smiled at me, but still seemed unsure, so I kissed her leaning my forehead against hers.

“But,-”

“No, I care about you. All that matters to me, is that you’re happy. OK?”

That made her smile, and she kissed me.

We had to get back to my house, before my parents got back. My injuries weren’t obvious, so they wouldn’t notice them as long as I kept the bandage on my arm covered.

“How are you feeling?”

I smiled at her, as we sat on my bed.

“OK, what about you?”

I had been thinking about what had happened in that warehouse.

“Bella, I’m fine. I’m more worried about you.”

We went up to my room, sitting on my bed.

“Alice, I’m fine. When I heard-”

“Bella, did you honestly think I wasn’t going to look for you?”

I shook my head, I knew she would. But, Hannah’s ability had me worried.

“I knew you would, but Hannah’s ability worried me. I couldn’t even move when she used her gift on me.”

Alice looked at me, I hadn’t mentioned that.

“You never said that?”

I looked away, annoyed with myself for saying that.

“Yeah, in my room she used her ability and Edward carried me to the warehouse.”

I looked at Alice, who wasn’t happy. Which I found cute.

“Bella-”

“I know, I didn’t want to worry you. And looking at me like that isn’t going to work, pixie. You look cute, not angry.”

“Bella, can I ask you something?”

I looked at Alice, she had her head in my lap and I could hear a rumble in her chest.

“What is it, pixie?”

She smiled, looking up at me.

“Are you going to tell your parents about the imprint?”

I had been thinking about this, I wanted to tell them but I wasn’t sure how they would react.

“I’ve been thinking about it. I’m just worried about how they’ll react.”

Alice sat up, taking my hand.

“I’m sure they would understand. Or we could just tell them we’re dating.”

She was right, I couldn’t hide this forever. And the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to tell them the truth.

“No, you’re right we should tell them. But, first I need to tell them that I told you what happened to me.”

Alice understood, smiling at me.

The door opened downstairs, I went downstairs while Alice stayed in my room.

“Did you enjoy shopping with Alice?”

I smiled at my mom, sitting at the table.

“Yeah, we had a lot to catch up on. She’s upstairs, organising my closet.”

Mom looked at me, raising an eyebrow.

“Bella, what do you mean?”

I took a deep breath, my dad wasn’t home yet.

“I told her what happened to me, she’s fine with it.”

Mom was shocked, but she didn’t seem angry.

“Bella, are you sure that was a good idea?”

“It’s OK, mom. She’s fine with it. Really. She reacted the same way you and dad did.”

OK, that’s not true she reacted better than they did. But, it seemed to calm mom down.

“Well, as long as she’s OK with it and wont tell anyone.”

I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes, there was no way Alice would tell anyone.

“She won’t. I know she won’t.”

Mom nodded, looking at me.

“Good, how are things? Found your imprint yet?”

Mom smiled, and I blushed. Alice walked in, sitting next to me.

“Well, I need to talk to you about something”

Mom seemed to know where this was going.

“You’ve found your imprint, who is it?”

I looked at Alice, who smiled at me. My mom was looking at me, and I took a deep breath.

“It’s……………. It’s Alice.”

Mom just looked at me.

“I knew there was something different about you two.”

My jaw hit the floor. She knew? I looked at Alice, who was grinning. She knew this was going to happen.

“It doesn’t bother you?”

Mom shook her head, taking my hand.

“Of course not, why would it? You know your dad and I love you no matter what.”

That made me smile, she was OK with it. My dad walked in, smiling at us.

“Hey, did you two enjoy shopping?”

We smiled at him, telling him we did.

My mom stood up, getting something for my dad.

“It seems Bella found her imprint.”

My dad looked up, seeing Alice and I sitting together and I could see he understood.

“I knew it!”

Did everyone see it?

“Bella, you said you knew about the imprint when you saw the person. What-”

I knew this would happen. We were in the living room, with my parents.

“I had to figure out how to tell Alice first, when she was OK with it, I decided to tell you.”

My mom seemed to accept that. We went up to my room, well I did, Alice got a lecture off my dad and walked in about 10 minutes later.

I was sitting on the bed, and smiled at her as she walked in.

“Care to tell me why you didn’t tell me about any of that?”

She laughed, looking at me. I took her hand, smiling at her.

“I knew it was going to be OK. And I wanted see the look on your face.”

I glared at her, but she laughed. But, I couldn’t stay mad at her.

“Why can’t I stay mad at you?”
