First of all, thank you for each and every review. However, I don't think there might be enough reviews/readers to keep me going. I might just write 1-2 chapters because the story is probably bad.
Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,
Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
- Romeo Montague, Romeo and Juliet
Jasper POV:
After we had danced, she went to sleep. Edward always told me watching her sleep cannot be described, but now I could see why. I heard Alice walking around the house, and I quickly left the room.
"How did planning go?" I asked her about the graduation gift.
"Perfectly." She sighed happily, and then her head froze as she held her finger. "Vision." She whispered. She closed her eyes and her forehead creased. After a few seconds, she started laughing hysterically.
"May I ask?" I hesitated.
Alice tried to compose herself. "I had a vision of you and Bella kissing! Isn't that ridiculous? It's good my visions are not always right." She, then, continued laughing.
"Hilarious." I was torn between happiness and sadness. Happiness, because of the kiss, and sadness, because Alice did not have the slightest clue of what was going on. "Alice, you know that I will always love you."
"Of course, silly. I love you more." She said playfully, and I was afraid that she was right. She did love me more. But what I was doing to Alice right now was unfair. I needed to tell her the truth.
"Alice… I need to talk to you."
"Sure, what about?" she asked innocently.
"These past few days have been strange. My mind and my body have, let's say, betrayed me. My feelings towards some people have changed in a fairly big way." I looked at her confused face and continued. "Alice, when I said that I will always love you, it means I will. I will love you for eternity. But I don't love you the way you love me. You are my friend, Alice. But I think I am in love with someone else." Her eyes widened with shock, and she froze.
"I think that I am in love with Bella." I let it out. She was still frozen like a statue. "Alice?" I asked. In a second, I saw her sprint out of the house somewhere far away. Alice has always been a great runner, I could never catch up with her, and I knew that there was no point.
Alice POV:
I ran as fast as I could. I did not know where I was, but it didn't matter. He betrayed me. I did not know what to feel towards him or Bella. Without Jasper, I didn't have a reason to be. And I decided that I was going to the Volturi.
I went to the airport in Seattle; I had my wallet with me by chance.
"One ticket to Italy, as soon as possible, please." I tried to ask nicely.
"You're in luck, there is a last minute ticket for a flight in an hour." The woman replied. "Would you like a ticket back, too?"
"No." I sighed. "That won't be needed." She handed me the ticket, I paid what I had, and I walked towards the airplane.
After many hours, I reached Italy. I sensed the Volturi were around. I ran to their castle.
"Alice, how are you?" one of the guards asked, and I didn't bother to look up to see who it was.
"Can I see Aro?" I pressed.
"Yes, you may. Go upstairs, he will be pleased to see you."
I didn't have time to reply, I just ran upstairs. I saw Aro sitting on his chair.
"Alice, what a lovely visit!"
"Thank you…" I started getting serious. "Aro…" I knew there was no proper way to say this. "Can you kill me?"
"Why would you want that?" he asked, a bit entertained.
"It doesn't matter. Just, please, kill me. This is all I want." I knew that I would cry if I had human eyes.
"I will do it." Caius, Aro's brother, came once he heard the word 'kil'.
"Control yourself." Aro commanded.
"Please, can you just get it over with?" I wanted this nightmare to end. I closed my eyes, and I heard Aro screaming at Caius to stop. Caius, stronger than Aro, put him aside and came towards me, like a hunter. I felt something crushing my body, tearing it. I did not go against it. My skin was already peeled off… I just felt bones… Ouch…
Alice did die, I just couldn't say from her point of view because she's, well, dead.
