A/N: Hey everyone.
I wrote this story for my English half-yearly exam earlier in the week. It was a little different. I didn't use Alice but Jasper was the main guy. Hope you like it. I still haven't decided if it's just a one-shot or if I will do another chapter.
Also they're all human. The story is set in the older days and Alice lives on a farm.
Apple Tree.
Alice P.O.V.
The day was overcast and big purple clouds were rolling through the sky on the horizon. I didn't want it to rain because I had a date with my boyfriend Jasper at our special tree- the apple tree. It was were we had our first kiss and were inscribed in the bark was – Alice loves Jasper and Jasper loves Alice.
I had been in the barn all day getting ready. Esme (my adopted mother) had been playing with my hair trying to get it to sit right, but there was only so much you could do with my short crop of black hair.
She had told me to bake some cookies for my date. Jasper told me that he was taking me on a date to the apple tree for a special picnic of our 3year anniversary of dating.
I had a strange feeling that today was going to be the day that-
"Alice darling, Jasper is here!" Came Esme's voice from down stairs. She was so happy that I had found the right person for me. She just bubbled with joy every time Jasper and I touched.
I climbed down the ladder and skipped over to my loves side.
"Hello Alice," Jasper said, " are you ready to go?" He asked me.
"Just one second. I have to get my cookies I made." And I left after he planted a kiss on my forehead.
I could hear the conversation from the kitchen has I put the cookies into a basket.
"Mrs Cullen I promise I will have Alice home by dark. We will only be at the apple tree if you need us." Jasper told my mum.
I half ran back to Jasper not wanting to be away from him.
"Ready now." I told them. "Love you mum." And I kissed her on the cheek.
"By sweetie." She told me. And waved us off.
Jasper and I walked in silence all the way to the tree. We held hands all the way just swinging them and enjoying each other's company. Occasionally he would pull me closer to him and kiss my hair and my cheek.
As we reached the apple tree Jasper took a seat and pulled me down so I was sitting on the ground and my head was resting in his lap. I was staring up into his beautiful blue, sparkling eyes that were locked into my green ones.
"I bought some grapes. Would you like me to feed you like they do to princesses?" Jasper asked me.
I giggle and nodded and Jasper pulled out the grapes and proceeded to feed me and I would pop one into his mouth after he gave me one.
I didn't know how long we lay there not talking just wrapped in each other's arms, comfortable by just the company of each other.
" This is nice." I sighed as I lent my head into his chest and sat in his lap. He wrapped both his arms around my waist.
" I have something to ask you," Jasper told me all of a sudden becoming serious.
"Alright, ask away." I encouraged.
Jasper slid me up so I sitting on the ground and he continued to kneel with one knee on the ground.
"Oh my gosh." I gasped. I was hyperventilating, my heart was pounding in my ears and blush coloured my cheeks.
Jasper gave a small shy smile as he answered.
"Alice, I promise to love you forever, for as long as I may live. Will you ma-"
All of a sudden the weather became ruthless. The black clouds snarled and the loudest crack of thunder I had ever heard echoed around us. A huge serpent like funnel created in the sky began to race towards the ground.
"RUN ALICE!" Jasper screamed at me. I was immobilised by fear; I couldn't work the muscles to make me stand off the ground. My gut dropped through the bottom of my feet.
It had happen so fast. From when Jasper was about to ask me the question that made my heart pound out a rhythm that was surely going to pop right out of my chest, and make my blood to stain my cheeks. Then how the dark purple clouds snarled in the sky and the screaming of the wind in my ears, the funnel racing from the heavens to meet the ground.
"ALICE!" Jasper shook my shoulders. "GET UP ALICE, GET UP!" He urged me. "COME ON WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE BARN!" He shouted at me over the wind.
I got up off the ground under Jasper's guidance; he tugged on my arm as we ran hand in hand towards the barn.
"Come on Ally. Come on Ally. We have to make it. Come on Ally faster" Jasper cooed in my ear.
"JASPER, I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT, YOU GO, SAVE YOURSELF!" I tried to wriggle my hand free from Jasper's firm grasp. He wasn't having that he held my hand tighter and refused to let it go.
"NO ALICE, WE ARE BOTH MAKING IT, COME. WILL YOURSELF TO MOVE FASTER! I WON'T LEAVE YOU." Jasper told me and just to prove his point he pulled me fiercer along behind him.
I turned around to look behind us at the storm. I saw the funnel meet the ground and started a line of destruction heading right for us.
I picked up my pace as Jasper had told me to do. 'Will yourself', I more looked behind me and became so terrified that I had to move, to save me, to save Jasper.
"That's it Ally. Come on we're almost there!" He tugged me again as we sprinted the last couple of metres towards the cellar. I could see Esme screaming at us but I couldn't hear her as the wind caught her voice.
* * * *
Jasper, Esme and I were huddled as we listened to the storm rip and tear everything up outside.
We heard it easing up; finishing.
"Do you want to look outside now?" Esme asked us.
"I'll check first make sure we're not in the eye." Jasper said.
"No Jasper don't go," I reached for him.
"Silly Ally," he took my hand "It's alright, I'm pretty sure that the storm is gone I'm just double checking." He tried to reassure me.
Jasper went up to the opening and opened up the door. I heard the sharp intake of breath as Jasper gasped at the destruction outside.
"The storms gone. It's a mess out here." He told us as Esme and I got up and followed him outside.
"Oh my gosh." Esme summed up. Jasper was right it was a mess out there. My house- the barn was in pieces everywhere.
I could hear Esme sob and Jasper brought us both into a hug hushing us. It wasn't until Jasper wiped his finger down my cheek that I realised that I was all so sobbing.
I looked over Jasper's shoulder to the rest of the yard there was only one thing in the yard that stood up without a scratch on it. Shinning like a halo over an angle stood the apple tree.
" Jasper look the tree!" I said to him.
He led me up there and I held Esme's hand and took her too.
"Let me try this again Alice." Jasper pleaded. He knelt down on one knee yet again and Esme let go of my hand. "Alice, love of my life, holder of my heart, I promise to love you for the rest of the days I may live, will you marry me?"
AN: Sorry about the cliff hanger lolz. I have decided that there will be another chapter. Please review! I love Alice and Jasper!
