Hi!!! Ok here's a recap from what happened last time:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It's time." Father said.

He came over and hugged me roughly, it was very awkward. It was like he didn't want to touch me but felt it was what I needed.

Mother came over tiếp theo and knelt down in front of me. "We will be back soon, don't be scared. Dr. Gordon đã đưa ý kiến that they will take very good care of bạn and he will watch out for bạn personally." She đã đưa ý kiến as she hugged me tightly.

Cynthia came over last. The tears flowing down her face. We hadn't been apart for thêm then one ngày and both of us knew that this was going to be a bit longer then that.

She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me as tight as she could. We both knelt on the ground crying, neither one of us wanting to let go.

That's my yêu thích memory of my sister, we weren't going to let go of each other. I remember that often when I get sad...which happens a bit around here.

I will write thêm the tiếp theo time I am alone, please understand."

That was all that was written. I laid there my head back against Jasper wishing I could cry. I must have been so lonely, so scared, so hurt. I can't imagine a small girl left bởi her family.

Jasper took my hand and smiled down at me. "We should get back. Everyone will be back bởi now and people will be getting up soon." He đã đưa ý kiến as we both stood up and started running back to the camp.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

We ran to the edge of the woods and walked back down the path to our camp site. We passes a few girls who were heading to the bathroom. They all looked at Jasper and I who were holding hands and smiled at us.

"Good Morning." I đã đưa ý kiến cheerfully as we passed them.

"Good morning ladies." Jasper đã đưa ý kiến like a good southern gentleman.

They all giggled and smiled walking into the building that held the showers/bathroom.

We both laughed a little bit and were still smiling when we walked into the camp. Everyone had made it back before us, they were all sitting around the ngọn lửa, chữa cháy pit waiting for us. The entire camp had been broken down and all supplies were put in the cars.

Emmett and Edward were comparing their kills from the night before. It sounded like they both went after bears and for what I could tell Emmett found a larger one. Rosalie sat on a chair watching them while picking the dirt out from below her nails, a disgusted look on her face.

Carlisle and Esme were staring into each others eyes, talking quietly like usual. I smile at them as we walked in and sat down tiếp theo to Edward and Carlisle.

"Can we go now? I need a shower." Rosalie whined as she stood up brushing the dirt off her jeans.

"Yes we should be going. It will be sunny soon and we need to be getting home, I have to work anyway." Carlisle đã đưa ý kiến as he herded all of us into the cars. He motioned for Rosalie and Emmett to take the backseat of his car while Esme climbed into the front. He looked back and nodded at Edward before driving off.

I climbed into Edwards backseat, allowing Jasper the front. Edward climbed in and began to turn the radio on.

"Edward," I thought "Can I please read? Could we leave the radio off?"

"Sure Alice. Feel like sharing? I have to admit I am interested in this now...if bạn don't mind." He đã đưa ý kiến out loud.

"I don't mind." I thought.

I grabbed the journal, flipping through the pages trying to see how many pages were left. It seemed like there were a couple entries left, I wanted to skip to the end but knew better.

I bent my knees under myself and began đọc out loud to the 3 of us.

"Hmmmm. The ngày on this one is June 3rd." I đã đưa ý kiến to myself.

"Wait that's a tháng after the last one isn't it?" Jasper asked

"You guys read another one?" Edward asked, jealousy peaking in his voice.

I had to laugh, this journal was tim, trái tim breaking yet my family all seemed almost as addicted to this as I was.

I smiled up at Edward and explained that Jasper and I had read a entry that morning, after we found and hunted moose. I had to fill him and let him know that my family had left me there, my father was thêm distant then he was before, my mother promised to come visit me and finally that my sister was terribly upset because she had to leave me for the first time.

"No offense Alice, but I really don't like your father." Edward đã đưa ý kiến after I explained everything.

"Neither do I, how could he want to leave you?" Jasper đã đưa ý kiến as he reached back and took my hand.

"Thanks, I understand. Now..I want to read this before we get home." I đã đưa ý kiến softly.

"Ok it's dated June 3rd." I đã đưa ý kiến again as I began to read the short entry.

"It's been a while since I had time to write. Dr. G is taking thêm of my time, trying to work out a treatment plan and taking me on ngày trips.

We have gotten to go out to a different town and go for lunch, but he says that we will not be going to my trang chủ town because of my family.

I enjoy all my free time, especially at night when I have found that I have thêm time to either write in my journal hoặc write letters to my sister. I'm not sure if they are making it to her, but I like to think she gets them and will write me back soon.

Enough of my rambling, where did I leave off?

My sister and I sat on the ground holding each other, crying and knowing that soon he was going to separate us and take her and mother home. This meant he was going to leave me here, and I didn't want to be left here alone.

Father walked over behind Cynthia and wrapped his arms around her. He tried to separate us but both of us were holding on to each other like we were each others lifelines.

"Cynthia, let go." He đã đưa ý kiến sternly.

She didn't let go and neither did I. I didn't care how mad he got at me, I wasn't going to let her go yet.

He cleared his throat and bent down tiếp theo to us. He looked down at me, the anger and something that I thought was fear hiển thị in his eyes.

"You let her go now!" He đã đưa ý kiến to me.

I hugged her close one thêm time and let go before his anger could reach the boiling point. However; when I let go she clung on to me even tighter.

"Cynthia. It is time to go, bạn want your sister to get better don't you?" He asked.

"Yes sir." She đã đưa ý kiến a sob escaping from her lips between the words.

"Then let go, we need to go so she can start her treatments." He stated.

Cynthia gave me one thêm hug before letting go and running over to mother. Mother picked her up and held her close as they both cried. Father walked over and wrapped his arm around them as he lead them out of the grounds.

I stood there on my knees sobbing. I'm not sure how long I stayed there, but eventually someone named Christopher came over and helped me back up to the building.

Once there a red haired woman named Janet took me into a wing of the building where the women stayed. I was shown where the bathrooms were, where we would eat meals, the common room and finally the small room that would be my home.

She left me in my room, telling me that someone would let me know when bữa tối, bữa ăn tối was before closing the door. I heard a lock slide into place. I didn't understand and had so many các câu hỏi that I just flung myself on the giường and cried until I heard the lock sliding again.

It is time for lights out, I must stop nghề viết văn now. I will write soon, I promise."

"That's all there is." I said, my voice no thêm then a whisper.

I was so into my story that I hadn't noticed that we were trang chủ already. I looked around to see Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and Rosalie on the front porch wondering why we were just sitting in the car.

Edward opened the door and stood up, looking in the backseat at me and then back up to the porch.

"We'll be up in a moment." He đã đưa ý kiến to everyone at the house.

No one up there đã đưa ý kiến anything, they all just looked down the drive at me and then each other before walking into the house.
