A/N:Sorry I'm late...again. Anyways, this part of the story goes back to before the Cullens and Bella meet up again...kinda self explanatory, blah blah blah.
I'm still having major issues writing for this story so bear with me please. Disclaimer a few chapters back and I will answer reviews in a bit.
Story time,
Chapter Four
A month earlier...
Edward pov
I watch the snow fall again. Little crystals of ice joined together in elegant patterns twirling around me. Such fragile beauty. Like my Bella. The gentle breeze flutters through my hair and again this reminds me of Bella. Her soft spoken ways, so polite, so shy. But what neither the air nor the snow can speak of is her understated fire. Her passion, temper and strength. Most of all, her scarlet blush. All things I miss.
"Edward..." Tanya. A woman so different from the rose I had left behind not two days ago. Her strawberry blonde curls swirl around her as she makes her way towards my sanctuary. Under the snow I lay buried, my own little coffin built with images and memories of Bella. Again, Tanya's thoughts whisper in my mind. "Why won't you talk to me? I can make you feel better...anyway you need me too." She doesn't understand the sorrow I feel. Shallow creature. I grow weary of her constant requests to let her relieve my tension and frustrations. A Succubus could never understand that not everything revolves around gratification.
"Please Tanya. Just leave me be." I sigh softly, knowing full well that she can hear me through the layers of snow. She huffs childishly before leaving like a wraith in the night. The others are probably worried but there's nothing I can do. Let Tanya tell them I am unreasonable. My world has ended. The moon in my night has gone and I will live only to mourn its passing. My love...
Jasper pov
"He's so melodramatic. He's the one who decided to fucking leave her in the first place." I hiss when Tanya reports back to us. Why the fuck Esme and Carlisle are so surprised by the dickhead's behaviour goes right over my head.
"Jasper!" Esme tuts at me. Oh, for the sake of all that is Holy, what was I supposed to say?
"He's right, Esme." Rose backs me up. The only one who actually seems to give a shit besides Emmet and myself. Not that she likes Bella or anything. Then again, same goes for me. She's just as annoying as the prodigal son. Just as perfect too. Who, at the age of seventeen, still says 'holy crow'? No, sorry, who says that at any fucking age? "He's to blame for all this. And I can't imagine the little Princess is taking this any better. I wouldn't be surprised if she dropped dead tomorrow." She groans. "This drama is killing me."
"Only 'cause its not about you." Alice snaps. Oh, my darling wife please shut the fuck up. You are as bad as Edward. Ah, my bad. I meant ex-wife. "Poor Edward." And what about your so-called best friend? No? Nothing? "I thought Bella would be good for him but..." She tears up and Esme goes to hold her.
"All this crying and shit is boring." Emmet slumps on the sofa. I like how Esme only pulls me up on my swearing.
"Emmet Cullen." Never mind. I tune out from all the babbling around me and try not to go and bitch slap Edward. Boy like that couldn't handle a good old backhand. It'd probably break his nose.
I'm only pulled out of my abstract thoughts when I notice Carlisle trying to maintain order while his serene wife yells her head off at Em. Rose just sits and strokes his head as he continues to ignore both his parents. Urgh, parents. No matter what anyone says, I refuse to accept these pussified- "Quiet." Emmet roars. Unsurprisingly everybody does. Em's one crazy ass mother when he's crossed and so you know that when he's pissed, you sit and shut up. Unless you're his mate or his superior that is. Which means Rose and myself are just fine. Alice and the Stepford Parents, on the other hand, not so much. "I'm fucking tired of all this shit. I miss Bella and you," he glares at the Cullens, "are pissing me off. Don't you even care about the girl we just left?" He doesn't give them a chance to answer. He just walks off with Rose leaving a shocked silence behind him. Yep, things are different. I guess I should be grateful to the little human. If Edward hadn't convinced himself that we were too dangerous for her after the incident with James, we might have still been playing happy families in this oppressive air. It's a lot more openly hostile now and I much prefer it. The Denalis, on the other hand, can't seem to quite stomach it. Not that I'd complain about the absence of the sisters in whorehood. They're too sex hardened for even a predator like myself.
While I'm more than a little interested to see just what happens to the Adams Family now, I can't stand the thought of another day in this shit hole. Yeah, I think I'll leave this little Alaskan shit stain and hook up with my brother and his mate. I'm sure Em and Rose won't mind what with the honeymoon their probably deciding on now coming up so quick. Hey, maybe we'll all meet up later. Depends, but I guess we'll see sooner or later.
Three months later...
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Is what screeches out of my phone as soon as I pick it up. What the fuck?
"I don't know." I growl. Three months away from my lovely ex and she's started screaming like a banshee. I'm glad I left before the transformation was complete. "What am I doing that's got you pissed?"
"Why can't I see you?" She hisses at me this time. Oh, I'm so not surprised the Pixie Bitch is spying on me. Wait.
"You can't see me?" My eyes widen. I wonder, then, if she knows that my eyes are more like rubies than golden topaz. Pfft, I hope not. Seems like it'll be more fun this way. I know her next words are going to be something along the lines of, 'come back, we need to figure this out, Jazzy.'
"Please. I'm sorry, I just got worried when I couldn't see you. Come back, Jazzy, let's figure this out. Please..." What did I say? I smirk at the thought of her reaction to the bloody pools to my blackened soul.
Peter smirks with me and nods. Obviously, this fucker knows shit that I don't but hey, if he's egging me on, something good must be happening soon. "Sure, I'll be there soon."
I hang up on her and turn to my brother, "I take it you're not gonna tell me jack shit."
He smirks wholly and snickers. "Wait till you see what fate has in store for you, my lucky fucker of a brother."
Edward pov
I pinch the bridge of my nose and try to think calmly. Think happy thoughts. Bella thoughts. And for once, it seems, this fails to work as the main trouble I am having today is that Alice can no longer see Bella. At all. Perhaps it has something to do with the wolves or perhaps Bella- No! I can't stand the thought of anything untoward happening to her. I'll have to go back to Forks, if only to see that she is alive and well.
You can't Edward! Alice practically screams in my head. Your future disappeared as soon as you made the decision to go back. I think this has something to do with Bella. First she blocked you out and now she can block me out. She might even be able to block Jas- She gasps as a sudden vision hits her. This time, I join her.
The world swirls out of focus and suddenly comes into focus. In front of us, Jasper stands. His back is towards us as he and his human blood drinker friends are standing by a house. Our Cullen residence in Alaska. He must be coming here then. Suddenly the vision blinks before cutting off, not the usual fade out that Alice's premonitions end with. Alice gasps again as I try to make sense of her thoughts. She pulls her phone out of her pocket while we all stare at her like she's grown a second head. Never, in my century of existence, have I seen a vampire move with such crippling clumsiness. It's enough to bring my thoughts back to Bella and only then do I realise why Alice is in such a panic. Perfect clarity comes to me as I read Alice's thoughts.
His future cut! Just like Bella's. I can't see him. I can't see him. Can't see him. Both Bella and Jasper have been blocked out of Alice's visions. What could this mean? It is conceivably that Alice is right. If this has something to do with Bella, the fact that I disappear if I decide to go to her makes it seem all the more conceivable. But then, what are Jasper's intentions towards Bella? Could it be...?
Alice continues her conversation with Jasper after having screamed at him and we all settle down to wait for his arrival. It only now occurs to me that no one has thought to call Rosalie and Emmet back from their extended, year long honeymoon.
No matter, for now, they remain unimportant.
