Chapter 11.

Sorry the last chapter was so short! I've got exams all this week so I had to revise, sorry! And only two of you reviewed, but loads of you put this story of your favourites. I love reading your reviews and reading your suggestions, so keep reviewing! The more reviews I get the more I want to update:)

Alice couldn't wait to get out of school and home. But then she realized that Jasper was coming to hers to 'talk to her'. Fuck, why did I even invite him round? She thought as she hastily sped out of the art room. One thing Alice was quite good at was walking at a very fast paste without actually running. She saw Jasper trying to catch up with her by walking really fast like her, it turns out he was pretty good at it too.

"Alice! Wait!" he shouted from across the busy hallway. Alice sighed and rolled her eyes as she waited for him. When he finally caught up with her she began her fast paste. Jasper sighed and met her paste. They carried on in silence until they got to the school parking lot. Jasper was about to open his mouth but Alice beat him to it.

"Just follow my car and park outside my house." She muttered as she got into her car. Jasper nodded and walked across the lot to get into his own car. Alice sighed as she buckled up on plugged her ipod into her car speakers and chose a song. Alice adored her ipod. She didn't know what she would do without it. She chose 'It never ends' By Bringmethehorizon, a British screamo band. She liked that type of music, she liked things that blocked out her thoughts. After she had chosen a song she started pulling out the schools car park, with Jasper following her.

It wasn't long before Alice arrived at her house and thankfully nobody was there. Both her aunt and Bill were away at work. Alice pulled up onto the drive in her usual space and watched Jasper pull up right behind her. She watched him get out the car in awe at the giant building before him. His shabby car looked lost in her drive. Alice got out her car and looked at Jasper in amusement, he still hadn't moved, his eyes stuck wide open looking at her house.

"Jasper? You wanted to speak?" She said as waved her hand in front of his face. He shook his head and nodded. "Follow me then." She said as she walked towards her front door whilst getting her keys out of her expensive handbag. Jasper slowly followed her, his eyes taking in the house the whole time. Alice rolled her eyes at him and opened the door. "You can just put your jacket anywhere." Jasper nodded and took off his jacket and hung it on the expensive metal coat rack by the door. If only I lived here he thought, if only. I

Alice walked into the massive kitchen and Jasper followed foot. "Do you want anything?" she asked him as she walked to the huge fridge and brought out some chocolate. Jasper shook his head to her question. Alice flopped onto one of the sofas and began devouring the chocolate. Alice loved chocolate. "So..you wanted to speak to me?"

Jasper nodded. "I think your being abit unfair." Alice cocked an eyebrow.

"How have I been unfair towards you?" she resorted and she put the chocolate down beside her.

Jasper rolled his eyes. "By being a total bitch to me? You act so nice towards everyone else and then to me your horrid. I saved your life, at least be thankful."

Alice scoffed. She couldn't believe she was hearing this. She never wanted to be saved, she was fine just the way she was. "I think I already told you that I didn't want saving."

Jasper shook his head in disbelief and ran his hands through his hair. Alice found this strangely attractive. "You didn't want to die." He stated simply. Alice stood up, her 5"4 self looking up at his 6ft self and narrowed her eyes at him.

"You don't know anything about me." She whispered on her tiptoes, smirked and then return to standing on her normal feet. What a fucking tease Jasper thought. Alice loved the new her, the her that stood up to people. After what Bill had said about her, it completely changed her. She wanted to prove people that they didn't know her, that no one could tell her what to do. She was herself. So she changed, her personality, made her eye make up darker, even changed her outfits into darker clothes. She wanted to surprise people, show them that she isn't a little girl that needs protecting.

"I know that you want to pretend like your invincible but in reality you just want to be wanted. I know that your fucking terrified and you just want someone to hold you and tell you its all going to be okay, but it's not going to be okay because the world is absolutely shit and given time everyone will screw you over just because they can." He replied, the exact same way that she spoke to him, finishing with the same smirk that was once on her lips. Alice just stared at him, all the emotion vanishing from her face. He was right, she did want to be wanted. She did want to be held. She did want to told that everything's going to be okay.

Alice quickly rearranged her poker face. "Fuck you." Jasper laughed.

"So that short response means that i'm right and that your too stubborn to admit so?" he asked her as she started to walk away from him.

She stopped midway to the fridge and turn around. "No. It means fuck you."

"Gladly." He replied with a devious smirk. Alice rolled her eyes and scoffed. He was so cocky she thought as she got a can of Coke out of the fridge.

"Even though I think your a massive prick, I've been brought up with manners, do you want a can of Coke?" Alice asked. Jasper hesitated and then nodded his head. Alice got another can of Coke out of the fridge and walked over to the sofa, which was where Jasper was now sat.

"Thanks." He said with a smile as Alice handed him the Coke. Alice nodded rigidly and opened her coke in unison with Jasper. This put a small smile upon both their faces, but none of them turned towards each other, just staring straight on drinking their drinks in silence. Some may think this is what may be considered awkward but it wasn't, not for Alice and Jasper. The silence to them was like the loudest music being played from the highest point and still being able to hear it perfectly clear. The silence was nice.

"I'm sorry." Alice said so quietly it was nearly unheard of, but Jasper heard it. He turned towards her with a questioning look upon his face. Alice repeated herself, a little louder this time. "I'm sorry."

"What for?" Jasper asked whilst putting his Coke down on the table next to the sofa and turned his whole body towards her.

"For being a bitch. I realize now that I've been horrible to you. You don't deserve it. You were only trying to be nice." Alice was near breaking point. It finally all came to her. How horrible she had been to Jasper, how it only just hit her that all this time she had been looking for someone to listen to her, to care about her. She didn't realize that the person she had been looking for so hard was right before her. "So i'm sorry." Alice was trying to keep the tears in, doing near enough anything to not cry, but Jasper noticed.

He didn't say anything. Alice didn't need words, she didn't need people telling her it's going to be okay when she knew things weren't okay. She wanted to be held, silently, which is what Jasper did. He pulled her close and held her tight and rested his chin on her head. Alice needed this. It had been a long time since she'd been held.

So they just stayed there, silently, entwined together.
