AN- so some of you asked if i could go into jazzy's POV. but i was already two steps ahead of you. i had already planned to while i was writing chapter 6. hehe im smart and i know what you want. lol. anywho, you guys are also asking me questions about a million other things. they will be explained in due time, dont worry.
so this chapter you get jazz POV, so dont worry. (i dont own twilight. steph meyer does)
I woke up after what felt like a long time. But in truth, if was probably only a few hours. I looked down at my watch. Yup, I was right. I was only 7:30.
Then I remembered something. Richard and Thomas were coming home tonight. I sighed. The weekend hadn't exactly been peaceful per say, but it was nice to get a chance to think without interruptions. I decided that I better get up, go inside, and clean the house, since Richard wouldn't be very happy if the house was a mess.
I spent the next few hours cleaning. And when I say cleaning I mean cleaning everything.
Dusting, sweeping, laundry, and every single room. Unfortunately that also meant Thomas and Richard's bedrooms. Ugh. Those rooms were nasty! Ugh. I shuddered once I was finally done. I checked my watch and it said 2:12.
I then decided to make dinner early so I wouldn't have to worry about it later. I made lasagna and salad. When I finished with that I decided to go for a walk since I hadn't done anything all weekend.
On the way out the front door I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. What I saw frightened me. My eyes had bags under them; there was a nasty purple and yellow bruise on the left side of my face, and my eyes looked dead.
I had to fix that by tomorrow and hopefully this walk would do me some good.
Richard said that he'd be back around six. So I had a few hours more to myself.
I stated walking aimlessly and when I decided to pay attention to where I was I realized that I was in the forest surrounding my house. I started thinking again, but this time it wasn't about my mother or my family. It was about Jasper. I think I really liked him I just didn't know what to do. I was scared to be around him. Or any guy for that matter. You never know what they'll do, I told myself.
I became so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't realize the time slipping away. Before I knew it I was running back to the house because it was already 5:52.
I served their food, put it on the table, grabbed my plate and ran upstairs.
Two minutes later…
"We're home!" I heard Richard call up the stairs.
"Your food is on the table!" I called back. I decided to go take a shower since they were preoccupied.
I let the hot water relax my tense muscles. I wanted to let it drag out more, but I knew that they would be calling me down soon, so I got out, dressed, and quickly ate my food. Before they could call I walked downstairs to do the dishes. They left once they saw me coming down.
I did the dishes quickly and ran upstairs to go to bed. You'd think, that since I spent almost the whole weekend in bed and sleeping, that I wouldn't be tired. But I was exhausted. I changed into my pajamas and fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.

(Jasper's POV)
I walked into biology. For some strange reason, I really wanted to see Alice. She was just a bug (well, little) ball of non-stop energy. Last Friday, she just had a glow about her. She was so happy.
She was a little distant at first, frankly so was I, but we quickly warmed up to each other. We had talked about loads of things. I told her that I loved to play guitar, and I loved history.
I also learned that her mother died when she was six from breast cancer. Now she lives with her father, Richard, who is a businessman and he works in Port Angeles. Her brother, Thomas (or Tom, as everyone referred to his as) was on the football team, he played wide receiver.
When she told me about him, I wanted to apologize for last Wednesday. I wasn't laughing at her. My friend, Lenny, had cracked a joke right before she fell, and it was hilarious. (The joke, not her.) I knew she probably thought that I was laughing at her.
I sighed. I hoped I would be able to apologize before class started.
And for some strange reason, I kept thinking about her all weekend. Even during my date with Jessica. We had never really been that close, but I felt myself distancing myself even more from her.
The night after I broke up with her so I wouldn't cause her too much pain. She didn't cry though. She didn't even look sad. When I asked her what was wrong she simply said, "Jasper, no offense, but I was going to break up with you tonight, too." She smiled then walked away. It had caught me a little off guard but I was happy.
After a few more minutes of waiting Alice came into the room. Her face surprised me. It looked… sad? But also a little dead. She also seemed to be walking slower than usual. Hmm…
She came and sat by me. I smiled and turned to give her a hug but she cringed away. She looked up at me with fear in her eyes, and then she turned her attention to Mr. Banner's lecture. I noticed that she also sat as far from me as the desk would allow.
What is wrong with her? I asked myself, but turned to the lecture, too. I didn't want to fail this class again.
As soon as the bell rang Alice dashed from her seat, as if she was trying to get away from me. That hurt a little. What did I do? I don't think I did anything. I walked to the cafeteria while contemplating this. When I got there I noticed that Alice was sitting alone, except for Bella.
I noticed that she was talking with her animatedly enough, but I also noticed that Edward was sitting at a different table with his other friends.
So Alice doesn't want to sit with any guys. She isn't happy like usual. Her face looks dead.
Something was not right, and I intended to figure out what.

(Alice POV)
The next morning was the same as usual. I made breakfast, got ready, and went to school. My classes were all boring as usual, but I seemed to be more wary than I normally am.
I was walking into biology when I saw Jasper's eyes watching me with a slightly shocked expression. I ignored it and walked to my seat.
Jasper smiled at me and tried to give me a hug, but to my surprise and his, I cringed away. I looked up at him quickly then turned towards Mr. Banner. I wasn't actually listening to his lecture on the structure of plant cells, but I was pretending so he would think I was paying attention.
When the bell rang I dashed out of the room. I needed to get away. Away from the emotions I was feeling, and away from him. I got to the cafeteria and I immediately found Bella standing in the lunch line. I caught up to her, ignoring the mutterings and complaints from people behind me.
"Hey, Bella!" I said as cheerfully as I could manage.
"Hi Alice. What's up?" she asked me.
"Oh, you know, same old, same old," I shrugged. "Umm… can I sit with just you today? I want to have some girl time. I am the only girl living in a house with two guys," I smiled to try and lighten the mood, but internally I cringed. Stupid thing to say, I scolded myself, remind yourself of how right you are.
"Umm… sure, I'll have to tell Edward, though," we had just gotten out of the lunch line. She led me over to where Edward was. She tapped his shoulder, and when he turned around she kissed him. I hung back.
"Hi, Edward. Is it okay if I sit with just Alice today?" she smiled sweetly at him.
"Yeah, Brandon wanted to talk to me about…umm…something. I forget what," he smiled, and Bella did, too.
She turned around and whispered to me, "Boys." Edward chuckled.
"Okay, go. I'll see you later," he gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Bye Alice," he smiled at me. I smiled back as convincingly as I could, and waved as I dragged Bella over to my table.
When we got there I stated talking about random things. I didn't want Bella to notice anything wrong with me. Before I knew it, it was time to go to class. But even art couldn't lift my spirits, like it normally could.
When I started heading home, I realized that I had probably blown all my chances with my dream guy, Jasper. I couldn't stop the few tears come. I couldn't help it.
You never know what men will do, i told myself again.
AN- i'm so sorry it was so short, but i have plans for the next chapter and i needed to finish this one. sorry it was kinda slow, i was suffering a bad case of writers block. sorry.
like i've said before if you have any ideas, i'd love to hear them. i'm kinda running low. so use your imaginations and review.
(PS - im thinking about writing another story of alices human life, the asylum and becoming a vampire. BUT... she can still remember some things. hmm... tell me what you think!)
