Chapter 10… "The fight"

Jasper POV

I had been living in L.A. for two months and things remained the same. Mi relationship with Alice was stable, although I had not figured out what she was hiding yet. My friends remained the same, and my enmity with Newton increased as the days passed.

Talking about my family, my mother was trying to get over his 'husband'- so called my father- and their divorce was being processed. Rose was being really helpful with her.

It was a boring Thursday, as I had the worst subjects. I was in the football practice, focused on keeping the normal breathing while my classmates and I were getting warm. I did not hear when somebody was by my side.

-Jasper, do you think…- he pretended to be thinking- Alice is acting like a whore? I mean, sh'e having sex with you when I'm already done with her… I think she's spiteful- I clenched.

-Alice isn't a whore and we're not having sex- I said, trying hold back my anger.

-She's playing hard to get. You'll see she'll be on your bed soon- that was the last straw. Anger got stronger than anything else, so I punched him on the nose. Newton looked daggers at me and punched me too. After a few minutes, coach Clapp set us aside.

-Newton, Hale, go to see the Principal!- he ordered us. Without saying a word, I turned around and walked to the Principal's office. Newton followed me.

Mr. Harrison- our school principal- warned us that we would be expelled if we fought again. Then, he sent us to the nurse's office.

I was there for twenty minutes. I had a black eye and my lower lip was cut and was swollen. Newton had his nose bleeding and his left eye swollen too.

When I went out nurse's office, I found Alice laying on the front wall.

-Are you okay, Jasper?

-Yeah, I'm fine…

-But look at you! You're so beaten- she exclaimed worriedly.

-It's okay, Alice. Don't worry, I'm going home.

-I'll go with you. You can't drive being like that.

- And what about the cheerleader's practice?- she shook her head.

-It's okay, let's go- she said smiling. When we were about to go, Newton got out the nurse's office. I looked daggers at him and tried to punch him again, but Alice did not enable me.

-Calm down!- she exclaimed, putting her tiny hand on my chest- he doesn't worth it- Mike continued walking and then he disappeared.

We went to the parking lot and I gave Alice my car's keys.

-Jasper, may I ask…- she spoke once we were on the road- why were you two fighting?

-'Cause he's a jerk- I answered frowning.

-Did he say something 'bout you?

-No, he didn't talk about me…

-It's about me- Alice stated, so I nodded.

-what did he say?

-Alice, it's not a big deal…

-Yes it is! Tell me what he said- she claimed.

-That you're… a whore- I murmured. Alice suddenly stopped the car; Thanks God there were no cars behind us. She looked at me, her eyes full of tears- Please, don't cry… he was saying a blunder.

-But… look at you! It's all my fault- she exclaimed pointing at my face and dropping some tears.

-It's okay, don't worry… now, please, keep driving that we're in the middle of the road- Alice nodded and started driving again.

We arrived home and I went directly to my bed. A few minutes later, she entered the room.

-Here you have a glass of water and some ice…

-Thanks- I smiled and she smiled me back. She gave me the water and I drank all of it. Then, I put some ice in the swallow parts of my face.

-Do you need something else?- she asked me kindly.

-Yes… I need you- I spoke without thinking.

-What?

-I-I need you…tube. I'd like to watch some videos on YouTube- That was a terrible excuse. "You're such a jerk, Jasper" I thought.

-Okay?- Alice said shrugging.

- Oh, could you give me more water, please?- she nodded and went out of my bedroom. While I was waiting, I turned my notebook on. Being on Skype, I noticed my sister was online too. She invited me to a video call.

-Jazz! You should be in the sch—my blond sister got paralyzed- Jasper, what the hell happened to you? Are you okay? I had a feeling something bad would happen!

-Rose, you're overreacting… I'm okay.

-Overreacting? Did you look yourself on a mirror, Jasper?- she questioned agitatedly.

-Shh, be quiet. Mum could hear you…

-Mum's not at home… Jazz, what happened to you?

-I had a fight- I confessed ashamed.

-You? Had a fight? You never get into troubles!

-Yeah, I know… but it was different this time- I argued.

-Explain me- she claimed.

-I fought… for love- I looked down and blushed- Rose… I'm… in love.

-WHAT?- my sister shouted amazed- OMG! My little brother's in love!

-Y-yes, I never felt this way—I got astonished. I glanced at the door and Alice was there, holding the glass of water. I closed the notebook in a hurry.

-H-here's your water- she spoke, after being quiet for some minutes.

-Thanks… I didn't hear you.

-Yes, I could notice it- she blushed- That girl is your sister, isn't she?- she asked pointing out a photo on my bedside table, in which Rose and I were hugging each other. I nodded- do you have more photos?

-Yeah, sit down and I'll look for them- I said, pointing out my bed's side. I stood up and looked for a photographs' album in my wardrobe. When I finally found it, I gave it to Alice.

-You're really similar… is she your twin?- I nodded.

-She's a few minutes bigger than me, although she seems like a child- she smiled.

-She's so beautiful- Alice added, gazing at one photo where Rose and I were on the beach.

-Yes, she inherited her beauty from my mum…

-Well, you both inherited it.

-I don't think so- I shook my head.

-You're really good-looking- she confessed blushing.

-Thanks… you're too, well you already know it- Alice smiled.

-So, are you similar? In personality- she changed the subject.

-No, we're completely different from each other. Rose's sociable and outgoing… I'm shier and reserved. She's always standing out, while I'm always trying to keep a low profile.

-Well, despite of that, I can notice that you're congenial- she spoke while looking at the photos.

-Yes, we're really close… we go shopping together!

-What?- she asked in amazement.

-Yes, she forces me to accompany her… She's a shopaholic!

-Me too!- Alice exclaimed laughing.

-She has about twenty bags of different colours from…- I stop to think- Jim… Chu?- Alice laughed out loud.

-Do you mean Jimmy Choo?- she mocked.

-It's the same- I rolled my eyes and she smiled.

-I would like to meet your sister- she commented, glaring a photo where Rose was in the shopping mall.

-I'm sure you would get along well.

At that moment, my phone rang and Alice handed it to me.

-Thanks- I murmured and she smiled. It was a text message from my sister:

'Jazz, I was so worried about u. Don't worry, I've got my tickets so I'll be there in a few days. Love u, Rose"

-Alice, did you say you would like to meet my sister?

-Yeah, why?- she asked confused.

-You'll meet her as she'll be here soon.

-Oh, she was worried about you!

-She overreacted- I said rolling my eyes.

-I can understand her perfectly- she confessed and I could not help, but smiled.
