The Cullen's house was empty for once. Except for me of course. Carlisle, Esme and Rose were hunting. Emmett was god knows where, he invited me to join him. But today i found myself unable to move. I was frozen. Empty. All because of an overreaction.
When Bella jumped off that cliff down in La Push Alice had a vision of her never waking up. At first everyone jumped to the conclusion that Bella was dead, but there was something off about Alice. I knew her too well to not detect the small shift in emotions when she realized that her vision was not exactly of Bella dying as it was just frozen in time. It confused her that she saw a funeral in Charlies future but only for his good family friend Clearwater and how none of Bella's school friends or family bothered to shed a tear in her direction. Alice knew something was up. Maybe there was something in this world we didn't understand yet. This then led her to investigating chief Swans house that night. And since then i have not seen her.
Only once did she call.
"Alice where are you?" The words flew out of my mouth at incredible speeds. Where was she? Why was she hiding something from me?
"With Bella. Jasper, i saw Edward...his in Italy. He thinks Bella's dead! I don't know how! I didn't tell him anything and now hes going to try to..." She trailed off, I could hear someone else in the back ground, a female voice most likely Bella's and a frantic male pleading her to not go.
The sound of a car engine started and i could hear the male voice slowly fading.
"Alice wait there I'm on my way." I said. "I can persuade them to see reason an-"
"No jazz..." She interrupted. There was sadness in her voice. "If we don't leave now...it'll be too late. I'll keep Bella safe for Edward. It will be okay. We will find him and bring him home."
(screw Bella!) I thought to myself. "No Alice!" I shouted. "It's not Bella's safety I'm most concerned about in this situation! It's you! What if something happens to you and I'm not there to protect you? Bella is our family, Edward is our brother but YOU. are. my. life Alice! And I swear to god...If...anything happens. if they even touch you I-"
"We will be okay Jasper." A soft soothing voice once again trickled through the phone. It sent calming waves through my ear that slowly washed over my tensed body.
I nodded. "I trust you Alice. It's just them I don't trust.." The anger filled my body again. (I can't let her risk her life! I need to be there to protect my family. How could she do this? How the hell could Edward put her in such a situation? HIS FAMILY in this situation!) But then again her voice spoke. "I love you." It was as if i could hear her smiling through the phone.
"And i love you Alice. Keep Bella safe. Rescue our idiot brother." I heard her laugh. I was to unsettled to smile back. "But above all please...return. I couldn't imagine what I'd do if my sweetheart was stolen from me now." I said with a chuckle.
"I will. I promise." And then she hung up. The phone went blank. I was once again alone.
I dropped the phone on the couch as I walked past, into the kitchen. If whiskey still had an effect on me i would have been drinking some now. I wanted the comfort. Ironically Esme did have the kitchen stocked with human food and even with various alcohols, but the once feel-good burning sensation was now as unattractive as mud. There was nothing to do now but wait. This realization enraged me. Taking hold of the nearest glass I threw it at the wall and watched as it shattered on impact causing millions of little crystals to fall to the ground. Maybe I should have gone with Emmett while the offer was still available.
I walked towards the sliding glass door leading to outside and stopped to rest my hands on Esme's sky was dark. It fit my mood perfectly. It was lonely, empty and had no brightness to it at all. Not even the glow of the moon shone tonight. It was as if the stars had lost the battle and were as overcome by darkness as I was. I couldn't do this any longer. The counter I was holding onto then crumbled under the pressure of my grip, but i just stood there, still staring into the dark.
(There is no way i can catch them now.) I thought to myself. (I am so fucking stupid. No half ass man would let his love face danger alone. And I did. Hell I held open the fucking door.) My hands began to tremble, though my feet stayed planted on the spot. (Your whole life you've been a coward. Nothing worth a second glance. What made you special was her. She completed you. Without her you would be a monster. You still are one...You've lost everything, your home, your humanity, your honor and now will you allow yourself to loose her too?)
"No." I whispered.
And then with a quick pivot I turned and walked towards the front door. Not bothering to grab the cell phone laying on the couch, I opened the front door while simultaneously locking it as i walked through. Then I was gone.
