Chapter 4
Alice POV
Sickening, just plain sickening; I really can't take it anymore. He shouldn't be with her, it's not right. It's disgusting, to be perfectly accurate. As I stood in the doorway watching Edward and Angelina, I could feel the vile venom inside my body boil. There were no words for how it made me feel, the way his lips touched hers and how his hands caressed her hair. It shouldn't be her; it's not the way it should be.
"You shouldn't stare at them like that," Jasper's strong voice whispered from behind me. I didn't even realize he had come up, nor wrapped his arm around me.
"That should be Bella," I whispered. Jasper took a deep breath and turned me to face him.
"I know that and you know that, but Edward doesn't know that right now. Just have faith,"
"Jazz, I'm the first one to talk about faith, but she has him. She has him good. I'm not sure if they're going to make it through this time," I whispered.
"You mean, you haven't seen-," he stopped.
"No, I haven't seen Bella in Edward's future at all, only her."
"Why don't you call her?" He asked.
"Isn't that a bit dangerous, with Angelina so close?" I asked.
"I think she's preoccupied," Jasper pointed a long finger toward Angelina and Edward; who were kissing harder and even more disgusting if that was even possible.
"Ugh," I moaned, "I'll do anything to get away from that." I turned around and ran upstairs to our room.
I dug through my purse to find my phone, actually becoming excited to talk to Bella. What should I tell her? I think she has a right to know something, not the engagement, anything but the engagement. Then again, she needs to know so she can help stop it, or maybe it would just hurt her.
"I'm so confused," I whispered to myself. I flipped open my phone and looked for Bella's number, hopefully she still had the same one. I'm going to tell her, it'll be the very first thing I tell her. I probably wouldn't be able to resist telling her, anyway.
Ring…Ring…Ring…
"Please, pick up Bells, please," I mumbled.
Ring…
"Hello," I heard her say. God, I really missed her voice.
"Bella, it's Alice," I said.
I could practically feel her excitement through the phone.
"Alice. I've missed you so much. I have so much to tell you. I-," I interrupted her.
"I've missed you too, but I kind of have some bad news." That's it Alice, get it out. Don't hesitate, just breath.
"I've had enough of that lately; but if you must, shoot." Okay.
"Uhm, Bella. Edward and Angelina are engaged," I said. Then I heard nothing not even breathing.
"Bella, did you hear me? They're engaged," said a bit louder, but still nothing.
"Bella, Bella," I couldn't say it too loudly or Angelina would hear. I though I felt the phone fall and then silence from her end. The phone went off.
"Damn," I screamed and I threw the phone at the wall.
"Whoa, Why so angry?" I looked over at the door to see Edward looking at me with a confused expression.
"Ugh I, was just, uhm, and I," I rambled. I couldn't tell him I was calling Bella, he'd bite my head right off and then some.
"Flowers," I shouted. He still looked at me, like I was crazy, "I called the florist, to check on the floral arrangements and he said, "I have 5 dozen lilacs," when I specifically said I wanted lilies."
"Oh," he looked softer, "For the wedding."
"Duh, Edward," I laughed trying to hide my anger.
"Yeah, that's good you're checking. Angelina really loves lilies. I want everything to be perfect."
I tried really, really hard not to roll my eyes, "Me too," I forced out.
"Maybe you should make it 10 dozen lilies," he joked.
"Yeah," I laughed and put the best fake smile on my face.
"God Alice, I've never felt this way about anyone else. I love Angelina so much. I wish I could give her the world, the sun, the moon, and the stars, anything just to see her gorgeous face light up."
"Yeah, she's just a peach," I whispered, "E and A forever," I cooed.
He looked off into the distance, probably thinking about her and I couldn't take it. I hoped off the bed and walked over to get my cell phone.
"As fun as it is talking about Angelina, I better get to work on those 10 dozen lilies," I laughed.
"Okay, I'm taking Ang out to dinner anyway, Bye," and he walked out of my room.
I laid down on the bed and contemplated what I had just done. I probably sent Bella back into emptiness. How dumb am I? Just imagine how worthless and angry she must feel. God! I am so stupid. I reached behind me and grabbed one of the cute satin pillows on our bed. I lifted it to my face and started hitting myself with it.
"So," hit, "stupid."
"I'm guessing it didn't go well?" came from the door. I looked over and started hitting myself harder.
"Jasper. I barely got to speak to her. I didn't even say five words before I lowered the 'BOOM'! This is so messed up," I screamed into the pillow.
"Alice did I ever tell you about the night I spent with Nettie and Lucy, during one of our," he paused, "expeditions."
I looked at him, "No. Thank the good lord."
"Just listen," he sat beside me and grabbed my tiny hands in his much larger ones.
"It was one night a long, long, while ago. It was one of the rare times I was alone with just the two of them. We we're staying underground and they were telling me about when they were human," I nodded and he continued.
"I try to block out a lot of that past, but this one time sticks out at me. Lucy told me about her parents and how her father would cheat on her mother, often. He would sleep around with different women. It hurt her, it left a big scar on her heart, which I still believe is part of the reason she did what she did."
Lucy then said to me, "I'll never hate him, though."
Nettie asked, "Why?"
"Because even though those women bewitched him, he always came home to my mother. He knew she was the one who would love and care for him, no matter what he did. Some would call it foolish, but she called it love."
"I don't understand," I admitted.
Jasper laughed, "Nettie's mother also believed highly in witchcraft. She was a very superstitious woman. She thought that if the women were bewitching him, it excused his behavior."
"I still don't get it." He laughed again and ran his fingers through my hair.
"Alice it's just a story that happened to take your mind off of Bella for a whole three minutes. I'm going to go read." He got of the bed and kissed my cheek.
"Wait, so what the hidden message?" He turned toward me.
"Just a story, Alice," he smiled slyly.
"There's a hidden message isn't there?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders and left the room. Then I jumped up and ran to the study.
"Ohhhhhh, Jasper I get it. Even though Angelina's got Edward under her spell, he'll go back to Bella eventually," I said proudly.
He looked up at me form his book, "Just a story, Alice."
I rolled my eyes and laughed, "You're impossible."
