Some of you requested a song to go along with the chapters, so I will include 1 or more at the top that inspired me for the chapter.
Meet me on the Equinox-Deathcab for cutie
When I'm gone-Simple Plan
I flipped the television to ESPN, cracked open an ice cold bottle of beer, and put my feet up on the coffee table.
What a night. I smiled just thinking about it. Her.
Alice sure was something. Someone I'd be proud to call my girl. A spunky, yet peculiar dark-haired beauty. Very hyper and ominous, but soothing and simple.
The kind of girl you didn't have to work hard to impress, but you wanted to get her the moon.
She seemed like the kind of girl who would be satisfied with a reheated piece of pizza and a Blockbuster rental. No need to go all out with fancy dinners and Opera tickets.
She wasn't fake either. I hated those girls who had a table spoon of lettuce and a glass of water for dinner.
How would I describe her to a friend of mine?
Perfect.
Great body, amazing personality, just someone who made me feel whole for the first time in a long time.
I fingered the dog chains around my neck, remembering the first woman who stole my heart.
But her image was quickly swept away and replaced with the image of my newest fascination. A pixie-like woman who danced and pranced circles around me. Her bright white smile shone in my mind until my eyelids fluttered shut, and I succumbed to sleep.
Maria, in her wedding dress, smiling at me, with her bouquet of blue flowers. That beautiful smile, even her eyes, smiling and dancing.
And then the wedding dress was gone. She sat on the floor of the kitchen, with broken glass surrounding her, and tears streaming down her face.
"Jasper? How could you do this?"
"Do what, baby?"
"How could you leave us?"
"Us, Maria?"
"Jasper, how could you?" she shrieked, "How could you?"
My eyes met hers, and for the first time I realized that they were a piercing blue.
Alice.
"How could you leave me, too?" she whispered, looking down at the floor
I shot up, and looked around frantically.
I must have fallen asleep on the couch.
"Another bad dream, soldier?"
"Maria." I gasped, noticing the figure in the corner of the room that adorned a wedding gown
"Hello, Jasper. Oh, how I've missed you! How are you?"
"What the hell are you doing here, Mar?"
"Haunting you." She laughed
"I must be crazy." I murmured
"No, not crazy. I was just bored. I just got back from a visit with your psychiatrist."
"Alice." I hissed
"Yes, yes. Mary."
"You stay away from her, Maria. She's only trying to get help me."
"Oh, I know. She helped me too. She is a pretty good psychotic, gypsy, therapist or whatever you want to call her. That was until she started getting this gooey look on her face, when she was thinking about you."
She was thinking about me too?
"If she thinks it is acceptable to be dating you right now, she must be nuts."
"She's not nuts, Maria, I like her too, and I want to be dating her. As hard as this is for both of us we need to move on. Me, with my life and love life, and you with your after life and what not."
"You're still as stubborn as ever." She laughed
"What did you say to her?" I growled
"I showed up to tell her off for dating you, but she got to me, and yes, I did eventually crumble and become vulnerable to her powers. But haven't you been listening to me, Jay? You will not date her. You are committed to me."
"Maria, can I touch you?"
"Why, yes you can." She smiled, oblivious to the fact that I said this merely to prove a point
I sauntered over to her as if I was going to lean down and kiss her. I inched my lips further and further towards her, and cracked a smile when they never met hers.
"I'm waiting." She sighed
"Maria, look, I'm trying, I went right through you."
"Don't give me that ghost hunter crap." She snapped, flipping around
"You're dead, Maria. And yes, maybe it is my fault, but what's done is done, and as sorry as I am that it had to end this way, well, everything comes to an end."
"So what is this? Like, a permanent break up?"
"Sort of." I chuckled at her made-up term
"This isn't over."
"I just ended it." I pointed out
"I mean I'm not done spooking you out until I'm satisfied." She yelled, but her voice cracked as if she was about to cry
"Maria." I sighed, feeling kind of bad for her
"It's okay, Jay. I'll find you later." She half-smiled, before walking through the door
Well, that was creepy.
I grabbed my cell and dialed the one person who's opinion I could always trust.
"Hello?" she yawned
"Hey, Rose, it's me."
"Oh, hey, Jasper."
"Long day?" I laughed
"You could say that. So enough small talk, what's going on?"
"?" I blurted out, making it sound like on huge word
"Come again?"
"I asked Alice to be my girlfriend and took her on a date and I think that I might be in love with her."
"I knew it!" she sang, "I just knew it! What did I tell you, Em?" she laughed
"No, I'm not on three-way, Rose. Leave your husband out of this."
"Oh, fine. But I was right. I totally called it. And to think you never wanted to see her in the first place."
I could practically see her smirking.
"But there's a twist."
"Always a problem with you, Jasper. What, you didn't mean to fall in love with her? She doesn't like you?"
"Maria."
"God damn it, Jasper! That's the whole reason why you're seeing her in the first place!"
"No, I mean, Maria talked to her, and me. You know how you said that Alice could interact with the dead? Well, apparently Maria told her to watch her back, and then she came and talked to me. Now, I may have just been hallucinating or whatever, but I'm pretty sure it was legit."
"For some odd reason, I believe you. You know what Victoria told me when James died. She saw him everywhere. Where they met, at the coffee place on the corner, buying a newspaper, laying in their bed, sitting at the kitchen table. These things may all be possible. There's no scientific proof that they do or do not exist."
"So you don't think I'm crazy?"
"I've always thought that you were crazy. But hey, Friday night, Me, Em, Bella, and Edward are going out to eat as couples. You and Alice should join us. Edward is her brother, and Bella is her best friend. So we all kind of know each other. Who knows? It could turn into a great group friendship."
"Sounds good, I'll let her know."
"Get some sleep, Jazz."
"Will do."I yawned
"Bye." She said, but my phone was already on the ground, and my mind was already focused on those rare, gleaming blue eyes, that soothed me like a lullaby, and slowly lulled me to sleep.
