(A/N: I hope you like it! I was just listening to the some when I thought that it would make a good story. So, here it is!)
"Alice, can we go now?" my brother Edward asked.
"No, not yet" I said.
"Why not?"
"Because." He rolled his eyes and slumped in his chair.
Rosalie laughed. "Oh come on Edward! Don't be such a baby."
Bella and I giggled. "Oh my god!" I said.
"What?" Edward, Bella and Rose asked.
"Look, it's Jasper and Tanya" I said, pointing to the door where Jasper and his
girlfriend entered.
"God I hate that bitch" Rosalie said. "She's just using Jasper."
"What do you mean?" Bella asked.
"I know she's cheating on him."
"How?"
"I just have a feeling."
I sighed as I watched them walk over to a table.
"Al, why don't you tell Jasper how you really feel about him?" Edward said.
"Because, if I do, it might screw up our friendship. Besides, he's already got a
girlfriend." I sighed again.
"Yeah, a bitchy one" Rosalie mumbled.
Edward shook his head then looked at me. "Alice, how will you know if he likes you back if you never tell him?"
I starred at Edward. "You know, your always-being-right thing gets very annoying."
He chuckled.
"Now, who's going to be our next singer?" the man on stage asked. No one
volunteered. "Ok then. Spot light please!" Every time they say, 'spot light' means that
whoever the spotlight lands on, has to go up and sing.
I giggled. "I wonder who's the poor person that has to go up and sing" I said to
Edward, Rose and Bella. Then the light landed on me. "You've got to be kidding me" I whispered.
They laughed. "I guess it's you" Bella said. "Go Alice."
I bit my lip and stood up. I made my way through the tables onto stage. The man gave me the microphone and whispered, "Good luck. You'll be great."
'You Belong With Me' by Taylor Swift started playing. Before it was time to start singing, I quickly scanned the tables one by one. Bella mouthed 'Good Luck' to me, Rose smiled, and Edward was still chuckling. Then I found him, my eyes met with his beautiful green eyes. His green eyes I've adored since we first met.
It was almost time to start singing. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, opened my eyes again ad started singing.
You're on the phone I'm in my room
With your girlfriend
She's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
She doesn't get your humor
Like I do
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
She doesn't like
She'll never know your story
Like I do
I noticed Jasper glance at Tanya. A small smiled formed on my face, but quickly went away.
But she wears short skirts If you could see
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me
I made sure when I sang the 'You Belong With Me' parts, that I was looking straight at Jasper.
Walking the streets And you've got a smile She wears high heels
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself,
'Hey, isn't this easy?'
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey what cha doing
With a girl like that?
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
Jasper looked down for a moment then back up at me. Oh how I wish I could read minds! That way I could know what he's thinking at this very moment.
If you could see Standing by and
That I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see?
You belong with me
Waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me
While it was the instrumental part, Jasper mouthed something to me, but I couldn't understand what it was. But when he did say whatever he said, I felt nervous, scared, happy, and exited all at once. What if he now knows I love him? Will this mess up our friendship forever? Or, can he possibly love me back?
Oh, I remember
You driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Weird thing is, most of what I just sang was true. When he had a fight with Tanya, he did come over to my house in the middle of the night. I do make him laugh when he's about to cry. I do know all his favorite songs and he douse tell me about his dreams. I just hope the last two parts are also true.
I took another deep breath and got ready to sing the last three verses of the song.
Can't you see Standing by and You belong with me
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along,
So why can't you see?
You belong with me
Waitin' at your back door
All this time
How could you not know baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought
Just maybe,
You belong with me?
You belong with me
When the song ended, I put the microphone on the little stand that holds it and
quickly walked off the stage as people clapped and cheered.
"What am amazing voice!" the man said. "Now, who's next?" he smiled. Before the next person was picked to go up and sing, I walked out of the doors of the club. I don't know if Bella, Rosalie and Edward were able to see me leave through the crowed of people.
I walked out the doors and walked own the streets.
"Alice!" a voice called. A voice that I loved to hear.
I quickly wiped the tears away and turned around. "Jasper? What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be with Tanya?"
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Oh."
"What's wrong Al? Why have you been crying?"
"I wasn't crying," I lied.
He cocked his head to the side slightly, then his fingers brushed up against my cheek. "Then why is your eye make-up running?" he said, revealing the mascara that got on his finger. I starred, my mouth slightly opened, at his finger. I didn't know what to say now. Jasper chuckled. "You always were a bad liar."
I sighed. "Yeah, I know."
"Al, we need to talk." I nodded my head and followed him. We started walking
down the sidewalk. I didn't like walking at night in Seattle, but being with Jasper, I felt safe.
We walked to the park and sat down on the bench. I brought my legs up and sat criss-crossed. "I know it was all the lyrics of the song," he began, "but the way you sang it, and the way you looked at me. . ." He trailed off.
"Yes?"
"The way you looked at me while singing it, made me relies that, I love you, that you love me." My eyes widen. Did he really say that? He shook his head and continued. "It took me years to relies that. All this time, I thought Tanya was the one right for me. But she wasn't. The one right for me, has been with my my entire life."
"Jasper, do- do you really mean that?" I asked, my eyes watering up with tears.
He looked at me and smiled. "Yes, I do."
Then he did something I thought he would never do. He leaned foreword and our lips met. My heart raced as soon as his lips touched mine. I closed my eyes and slowly uncrossed my legs and sat normally so I could get closer to him. His hands found there way around my waist. I brought my arms around his neck. By now, we were so close to each other, I was sure there was no space between us.
I can't believe this was happening. Jasper and I kissing. Jasper Hale. The very Jasper I fell in love with when I was five and have loved ever since.
His sweet lips where so soft and perfect. I wanted to stay like this forever, to never leave, to always stay in his safe arms, to have him hold me, but I knew that couldn't happen.
We slowly pulled away from each other and gazed into each others eyes. His green eyes were perfect. They shined with the moonlight. All of him was perfect.
"Wow" I whispered. Jasper smiled and kissed my lips again, but this kiss was a short, sweet kiss. "What are you going to do about Tanya?" I asked when he pulled away.
"I wouldn't worry about her" he said.
"Why?"
"Because, yesterday at school, at lunch, her phone started ringing. I was going to give it to her when she came back when I noticed it was a text message."
"What did it say?"
"It said, 'Can we change the time for our date tonight, babe? Instead of 9, can it be 7? Because since the whole moving thing tomorrow, my parents want me to get to bed 'early' so I can help. Love ya babe.'" He sighed.
"Oh Jasper, I'm so sorry."
He shook his head. "I knew something wasn't right. She was acting weird for a few weeks."
"Weird as in. . . ?"
"Always being late, leaving early, never returning my calls."
I put my head on his shoulder and hugged him. "You gonna be ok?"
He chuckled. "Yeah, I'll be fine." I smiled up at him. "Al, promise me something."
"Anything."
"Promise me that, you'll never leave me for someone else."
I laughed. "Like who?"
"I don't know. The guy of your dreams I guess."
I giggled. "Impossible" I said. "How can I leave for the guy of my dreams, when I'm looking at him right now?"
He smiled. "Alice, I love you."
I smiled. "I can't tell you how long I've waited for you to say that to me. I love you too, Jasper."
