Hey guys! yeah yeah i know, sorry if it took me long to post this so, sorry!
Well I've got bad news and good news...so bad news is it might take me long to post other chapters since classes already started and I'm really busy with a lot of school stuff (senior life is so hard!). Good news is I'll try to make every updates longer and hopefully better.
So yeah, that's all...anyways this chapter contains only a little interaction and POVs of Edward and Bella and more of Alice's. I don't know if you'll like it but i enjoyed writing this particular chapter because, well, Jasper and Alice are one of my favorite couples in Twilight-other than Bella and Edward of course. So enjoy reading!
I don't own Twilight-and never will. The awesome Stephenie Meyer does!
Thank you guys for the reviews, it really motivated me to update...:D
Chapter 10
BPOV
Do I smell? Did I do something wrong? Do I bother him, what?
Those are just some of the questions I kept asking myself. Could an hour really be this long? I turned to peek at him from the comfort of my hair that I used as a wall between us. He still hasn't relaxed from his position and his eyes were fixed on the teacher in front. Sometimes his fists would clench tight until it turns white then loosen itself and turn back the same way over and over again.
He looked troubled. That's easy to see, but what could have I done to trouble him like that?
The school bell rang and he was out of the door leaving me staring at him wide-eyed. I could hear giggles and gushing of girls over him as they exit the room. I myself was about to go out when I saw a piece of paper on the floor.
I picked it up and saw the owner's name on it.
He was Edward. Edward Cullen.

Class was dismissed early, thank goodness; I don't know how much long I could take taking up something I studied three years ago. Rose and I talked about so many things, all except the one we know we've been dying to talk about-our sister. Rose and I agreed that we wouldn't do anything or try to talk to her without thinking it through with the family and without the information the guys knew.
Of course no matter how upset we were of the boys keeping this information from us, we can't deny the fact that we love them and I have to admit that I can't stay mad of Jasper for too long. I had a vision of them, flickers actually-it was a bit fuzzy since they kept on changing their minds- that they were coming down by the end of our class and apologize to us.
Rose felt the same way about them too but we agreed to play hard to get since after all, they're the ones at fault. We were just going out of the room when I saw Jazz and Em at the end of the hallway walking towards us.
"Get ready." Rose whispered so only I could here. Judging from their expressions, I could see that they are very guilty of what they did. I tried my best to keep my cool when I saw a vision of Emmett falling down his knees and begging Rosalie to forgive him.
I looked at Jasper and I realized our cover is blown when I saw him smiling at me. I should've realized that my emotions were easily read by him. He winked at me inconspicuously so that Emmett wouldn't see.
"Rose…" Emmett began when suddenly, I saw a vision:
"Hey Bella, my next class is Gym too. Want me to walk you there?" a boy with blond hair by the name of Mike asked her.
She shook her head. "I know where it is Mike. I just have to get something before going there. You go on ahead."
Bella was walking out her building with a paper in her hand. Her head was turning everywhere searching for someone when her eyes stopped at no other than Edward walking to his building unaware that she was running-more like tripping-after him.
"Excuse me?" Bella said in a little voice. "I think you dropped this." She tapped him by the shoulder and reached her hand to give him his slip. He turned to face her but his eyes were black, hungry, uncontrolled-poised to kill. He snarled furiously and bared his teeth at her before I see him attack.
"NO! You can't!" I shrieked earning stares from the people in the hallway. Jasper looked like I just slapped him in the face. He must also be apologizing to me when I zoned out. But it doesn't matter right now. I heard the bell ending Bella's class and I had to stop her from going after Edward.
I ran away leaving them frozen in their spot.
She was in her biology class. I foresaw following the directions in my visions as fast as the human speed I practiced could take me. I can already hear her conversing with Mike and hear her footsteps coming out from her room. I ran towards her and came to an abrupt stop when I was just a meter away from her.
And that's when it hit me.
Oh shoot. What should I say to someone who thinks I was dead?
Darn it Alice, think before you act!

I should've never attended school if this was how it's going to be. I inhaled the smell of fresh air as I was walking towards my last class with half a mind to skip school altogether. Her scent was burning me the way the venom burned me when I was transformed only that it was worse-a lot worse.
I've had half the mind to kill her and that room full of children but I couldn't. I know it would be just too easy to carry out those deeds but I will never live through the consequences of what my actions would cost me.
First is the guilt, the guilt of killing innocent people. Yes I may have taken lives of people who were vile and soulless and even so it made me guilty. How much more if I would take the lives of people who have done nothing wrong at all?
Next is Family. Carlisle always thought that he could see himself in me although I doubt that I was anything like him, and Esme, my mother in every possible way. I could never leave through my existence with seeing them disappointed in me. And the pain of Alice and Rosalie, immortality took them away from the family they had. Now that they found Bella-which I know they already did. They are never going to forgive me and they'll forever suffer the agony of losing their sister knowing that it was me who killed her.
And Bella, I adored her the moment I saw how she would selflessly give her life just to save the people she loved, even when she grew up and physically changed, all this years I am still remembering her face, her silent beauty and her soulful brown eyes. If I would let the monster take over me, I don't know if I'll survive carrying with me the knowledge that I took away the life of someone innocent and precious.
I was pulled away from my thoughts when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I restrained myself from screaming in so much joy and tackling the person in front of me to the floor. I can't believe it, it was her, really her-our Bella.
I took in her face which lost its roundness over the years. Her face was more defined than it was when she was fourteen. She was beautiful. My little sister grew up and I wasn't there to see her. I locked gazes with her and she immediately looked down, a blush creeping on her cheeks. She looked at me again this time and I can see she knows me; she just can't find the right words to say it.
As much as I want to talk to her and hug her, I know I can't and never will for that matter. I kept my face smooth, hiding all the emotions that were filling me right now.
"Hi, I'm sorry but did you happen to see a slip by chance?" I asked acting as if I'm worried which exactly is the case. "It belongs to my brother, Edward Cullen."
She looked at me. "Yes I have." She took the paper placed in her book then handed it to me. She looked like she was going to say something but I cut her off.
"Thank you…?" I acted like I have no idea who she was.
Her face slightly fell when I confirmed her that I have no idea who she is.
"Bella, Bella Swan." She answered in a sad voice.
"Thank you so much Bella!" I said and before I knew it, I had her in a tight embrace. I pulled away quickly. "My brother went nuts looking for it, thank you. I'm Alice Cullen." I introduced myself before running away from her.
Speaking of Mr. Careless, I found him in a trance-like state. I was able to catch up quickly with him and tapped him on his shoulder.
"Forgot something?" I asked before handing him his slip. His eyes widen as he took in the faint scent of Bella in the paper. You got it bad don't you? I asked as I replayed my vision of him lunging at her. Both of us shuddered at the thought. Sorry, I was looking at Jasper's future, I should've been more careful.
"It wasn't your fault Alice." He sighed then raised one eyebrow at me. "How did you get it from her?"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. But you would tell me what I need to know later." I glared at him as I thought of random things that would keep him from reading my mind. Can you still endure the last hour of school? I asked. I knew that he cared for Bella as much as Rose and I do although he would always try to hide it.
He nodded stiffly, and then turned his back on me. I walked opposite to where he was heading and a smile crept to my face as I saw my Jasper waiting by the doors of the building where mine and his class was.
I skipped beside him. He smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes. Oh yeah, I kinda shouted at him a while ago.
"I'm really sorry for trying to keep the fact that Bella was at Seattle the day we arrived, we agreed to keep it from the both of you because we know it would only hurt you. I didn't know that she will be here at this town and when you and Rose found out about it and were mad at us, we were really guilty. I thought you forgave me when we met you after your class…" he trailed off.
"But that was no excuse for my actions. I understand that you hate me right now." He said and he looked away clearly heartbroken.
"Jazz?" I called up to him and just as he looked down at me, I stretched to my tiptoes and kissed him softly. "What I said to you, forget it, it wasn't meant for you. I know you were only trying to protect us but you do know that I can never stay mad at you. Thank you for telling me the truth."
He finally got my point and his smile was blinding. He intertwined his hands with mine and whispered "I love you."
"I love you too." I beamed at him and we strode off towards our next class.
How was it? Please leave a review. The next chapter hopefully will have more of Edward and Bella's POV but I have absolutely NO IDEA yet of what it's going to be. So if you guys have any suggestions, I'll be happy to consider putting them in. Beye now!
