Prologue:
"Alice," Esme, my mother said, "there's something you should see." She handed me a magazine. On the front cover, I see Jasper kissing another girl; the description saying that they have been secretly dating for over two weeks. The girl in the picture was without a doubt beautiful, with her Hispanic features and flowing black hair. I recognize her as Maria, Jasper's band manager. Jasper and I never broke up when he left for his band tour, and I just didn't understand why Jasper would cheat on me. I knew that I couldn't compete with that. I had only one option- running away. That is exactly what I did; I ran to my yellow Porsche, and drove off without ever looking back.
That was 4 months ago. I live in a large apartment now in New York City- across the country from where I used to live in Forks, Washington. I turned 19, three months ago. My family is still trying to contact me, but I never responded to any of their texts or calls. I was once tempted to reply, when my dad left a voicemail saying that Jasper returned from his tour looking for me and wanting to explain the whole situation with Maria, which was a total "misunderstanding". When they told Jasper that I ran away, Carlisle, my father, said that he sprinted out the door saying he was going to do whatever it takes to find me and to apologize for everything.
I kept asking myself if running away was the best idea. Sometimes I wished that I would go back, so that everything can go back to how it used to be. I'm too stubborn to do so. I just don't know what to do anymore.
