Here it is-chapter 4! Hope you like it!! Sorry this one might be shorter than the others.

Before going to class I stood by car listening to my iPod again and looking at all the black ice that covered the lot. The Cullens were all hovered around a red M3 car. Alice and Edwards face had an odd expression to it. I slowly walked toward my tires examining the small silver snow chains around them. My throat suddenly felt tight-when it was cold back in Texas my father used to put snow chains on Anne's car. I wasn't used to Anne doing the same thing, now to my car.

I was just standing there by the back corner of the car, struggling to fight back the sudden wave of emotion the snow chains brought on, when I heard a loud noise.

It was a loud high-pitched screech, and it was fast becoming painfully loud. I looked up, startled. I saw several things simultaneously. Nothing was moving in slow motion, the way it does in movies. Instead the adrenaline rush seemed to make my brain work much faster and I was able to absorb in clear detail many things at once. Alice Cullen was now staring at me from across the lot, her face glazed with horror. Her face stood out from a sea of faces with the same expression of shock. But more immediate importance was the dark blue van skidding wildly across the ice covered parking lot. It was going to hit the back of my car-and I was standing in between them. I didn't even have time to close my eyes.

Just before I heard the crunch of the van folding around the truck bed, something hit me, hard but not from the direction I was expecting. My head cracked between the icy blacktop. I felt something cold and hard holding me down to the ground. I was lying on the pavement in a wider gap by the front of my car, but I didn't have time to notice anything else, the van was still coming. A low oath made me aware that someone was with me, and the voice was impossible not to recognize-Alice. Two small white hands shot out protectively in front of me and the van stopped suddenly a foot away from my face, the small hands fitting providentially into a deep dent in the side of the vans body.

Then her hands moved so fast they blurred. One was suddenly gripping under the body of the van and something was dragging me, swinging my legs around like a rag dolls, till they hit the tire of the van. A groaning metallic thud hurt my ears, and then the van settled, glass falling onto the asphalt—exactly where my legs had been a second ago.

It was absolutely silent for one long second before the screaming began. In the abrupt bedlam, I could hear more than one person calling my name. But more clearly than all the yelling, I could hear Alice Cullen's low frantic voice in my ear. "Jasper? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," My voice sounded strange and my head started hurting. I tried to sit up and realized she was holding me against the side of her body in an iron grasp.

"Be careful, I think you hit your head pretty hard." She warned as I struggled.

"Ow," I said surprised. She released her grip and let me sit up by myself. "How in the world did you get over here so fast?" I asked putting a hand to the back of my head. She slid as far from me as she could in the limited space. I looked at her concerned, innocent expression and was disoriented again by the force of her golden colored eyes.

And then they found us, a crowd of people-students and teachers alike, with tears streaming down some of their faces, shouting at each other, shouting at us. "Don't move," someone instructed

"Get Tyler out of the van!" someone else shouted.

"I got 911 on the phone right now." Another said.

There was a flurry of activity around us. I tried to get up, but Alice's cold hand pushed my gently back down. "Stay put for now," she said quietly.

"But it's cold," I complained. It surprised me when she chuckled under her breath-but there was an edge to it.

"You were over there," I suddenly remembered. She looked at me. "Over by your car."

Her expression turned hard. "No, I wasn't."

"I saw you." All around us was chaos. I could hear the voices of adults entering the scene. I still held on to the argument. I was right and she needed to admit it.

"Jasper, I was standing with you, I pulled you out of the way." She unleashed the full, devastating power of her eyes on me, as if trying to communicate something crucial.

"No." I set my jaw.

Her golden eyes glazed "Please Jazz."

"Why?" I demanded.

"Trust me," she pleaded her soft chime like voice overwhelming.

"Promise you'll tell me later?" I finally said. I could hear the sirens now.

"Fine." She replied angrily.

It took seven EMTs and two teachers—a sophomore teacher and my gym teacher, to shift the van far enough away from us to bring the stretchers in. Alice refused hers and I tried to do the same, but Alice told them that I hit my head and probably had a concussion. They placed a neck brace on to my great embarrassment and put me in the back. I watched as the guided Alice in the back as well and checked her over-she kept telling them that she was fine and wasn't hurt but they continued anyway-soon finding her left shoulder pushed back a little bit, from the impact of the van—reminding me that she pushed the van away… "Do you feel any pain Ms. Cullen?" the nurse asked as the ambulance took off with me and Alice inside, the other with Tyler.

"No." she answered simply. "You can have Carlisle look at it later." She stated and the nurse came over to me and started checking me over as she did to Alice.

**********************

I woke up in a white room; an annoying beeping noise filled my ears. "Is he awake?" a soft voice asked and I immediately knew who it was.

"Yes." Someone else said. "Thank god." I looked to my right to see Anne sitting on a small chair smiling at me. Alice was on another bed sitting with her legs dangling over the side. I smiled forgetting our little argument, but I still wanted to know. A blonde doctor came into the door and walked over to Alice. His eyes were the same shade of gold and he was as pale as Alice-deathly pale. He smiled to her and whispered something into her ear. She nodded and pulled up her one sleeve. The doctor examined it and wrote something down. She nodded again and smiled.

When he finished examining her he came over to me. "Hello Jasper. I'm Dr. Cullen, how do you feel?" he asked.

"Fine, my head hurts a little though." He nodded and wrote something down. He pulled out a little flash light.

"Look here," he said flashing the light in my eyes. I did what he said. "You look fine, so you would be able to go today." He reassured me.

"Okay…does she get to go home too?" I asked and he knew exactly who I was talking about.

"Yes." Dr. Cullen said before nodding to Anne and walking over to Alice. She was no longer smiling just glancing at the brace on her shoulder and sometimes at me then she nodded and got up walking out of the room with Carlisle-his hand on her good shoulder.

Anne and I walked out of the room and to my great embarrassment most of the students in the school were asking Alice a million questions while another huge crowd came over to me. Time for the million questions…

Soooo how'd you like it??! Good right? Yes LOL like always-please review!
