"Jasper I promise he will come back."
I tried to convey this to my husband numerous times and yet he still was not fully reassured by my promises.
"Jasper you need to trust me everything will work out eventually, I told you he will give up and will realize he cannot live without Bella. I have already seen it happen."
"But Alice ," Jasper was not convinced. "I don't know how much longer I can stand the tension and…all the feelings…it's exhausting." As he said this he slumped into the chair he was sitting in.
"I understand it is such a large strain on you but it is for everyone else as well. Everyday I miss Edward and Bella." Thinking made me sad…talking about them made me feel awful.
I know Jasper took it worse because he not only could feel everyone's grief but because he believed he was the cause of it made it even more unendurable.
Suddenly I had a vision.
It was Bella.
She stood on a rocky cliff her dark brown hair whipping around her face, which held a look of deep concentration.
What was she doing?
She slowly rolled onto the balls of her feet.
Oh my god. She was taking it even worse than anyone could imagine -she was about to commit suicide.
Oh Bella! Why couldn't you wait?
Suddenly she crouched and jumped, falling off the steep cliff into the dark black water.
As quickly as the vision came I was thrown from it.
"Bella…." I couldn't form a proper sentence.
"Oh..Alice…what happened?" Jasper's patience was being tried as he was trying to be supportive of his hysterical fortune teller wife but I couldn't focus on him.
I couldn't focus on anything.
All I could think of was Bella.
Jumping off a cliff.
"Bella…how could she….she..she…jumped…."
How could she?
It was quite obvious why the love of her life abandoned her.
But how?
What about Charlie?..Rene?..Edward?
Edward.
Suddenly I was absolutely furious at Edward. Why didn't he just change her like I had suggested countless times?
"Alice. Alice!" Jasper was shaking me gently trying to get a straight answer out of me.
Ignoring him I checked Bella's future disregarding the fact Edward told me not to. Her future was nonexistent. Oh God. Why?
Bella hadn't jumped yet so therefore she hadn't died yet.Yet.
But she would jump and would die as a result of it , her future- or lack of was proof.
Could I change the future? Sure I could see it but change it? Honestly I didn't know.
I could at least try.
"Jasper. I'm going to Forks."
