AN: I know I haven't updated this in forever and I am so sorry! I had major writers block with this and so I decided to skip ahead say it has been a few weeks since Alice ended things with Edward. I know you all probably wanted to see the chat between Edward and Jasper but I just couldn't seem to get the inspiration to write that particular scene. I do hope to update more often now that I know where I want to go with the story:)
Alice's Pov:
It had been exactly one week and three days since I told Edward it was over between the two of us. 240 hours since the last kiss we shared together. I knew I should not dwell on such things. It could only make things harder in the long run. Things would be better for Edward if I could just let go but I couldn't seem to do so.
I tried to forget him. The sound of his voice which was smoother than silk. The taste of his kiss that reminded me of the grass after a fresh rain. The lingering burn his cold skin left on mine. Those golden eyes staring into my soul if I still had a soul I mean. The way he treated me like glass but at the same time almost as if I were unbreakable.
To say things had been akward wouldn't even be close to describing the situation between Edward and myself. Whenever we were in a room together I could feel his eyes on me. I knew he wanted to talk to me but I wasn't sure I could talk to him without telling him how much I missed him. I'm pretty sure he was hoping for something like to happen so I kept my mouth closed and my mind as silent as possible.
I never allowed both of us to be in a room alone. It wasn't that I didn't trust him rather I did not trust myself. Usually Jasper followed me everywhere I went. I think he trusted me and not Edward. I could feel my husbands eyes on both of us whenever were in the same room. I couldn't even glance at my mind reading sibling without hearing Jaspers threatening growl. Maybe it was better this way. No conversation ment no chance of falling back into old habits.
"Alice?" I snapped out of my thoughts when Bella waved her hand in front of my face. "What did you see? You did see something right? You had the spaced out look you usually get while having a vision." Her expression was a mix of boredom and concern. "Did you see anything having to do with Edward? He has been so distant lately it makes me worry he may be changing his mind about the marriage."
The words which fell from my bestfriends mouth had my stomach twisting into knots. Look at the mess I had created for her. Letting myself get tangled into a web of passion with Edward was hurting her. My brother was confused thinking himself in love with me. Because of the confusion he was pulling away from the woman he's destined to be with.
Bella was feeling his withdrawl from her and she in turn turned to Jacob Black for comfort. Because Bella was leading Jacob on the shifter male would end up with a broken heart when Edward saw the light and swept Bella off her feet once more. Knowing how many people were being affected by my actions made me feel that much more guilty for the feelings I still held for the bronzed haired vampire.
Smiling as reassuringly as I could I took her warm human hand on mine. "You know how Edward can be Bella. He is going through one of his phases. In a few weeks he will back to normal and back to his stalkerish ways. Don't worry Bella you and Edward belong together. No matter what happens I have seen your future. It's set in stone so to speak."
I felt like a liar telling her this. The last few days her future with Edward seemed to vanish. Not vanish like it wasn't there but rather when I looked for Edward in the future I saw him with someone else. In every single vision I'd been recieving Edward was with me. Always it was Edward and Alice never Alice and Jasper or Edward and Bella.
He and I laughing together as we sparkled beneath the sunlight in a meadow. Dancing under the stars to no music. Kissing in an abandoned classroom between classes. Edward throwing me over his shoulder and racing up the stairs with his trademark crooked smile firmly in place. Edward grumbling as I forced him to model for me or tried to tame his hair even though I knew it was a lost cause.
I couldn't grasp why it turned out this way. I had made the decision to stay away from him. I was doing whatever possible to keep these visions from coming true and still they came forcing themselves into my mind. The only plausable reason I could come up with was that Edward had also made a choice. He wasn't going to give up.
He wanted these visions to become a reality and so he forced them into my brain by making decisions without my knowledge or consent. Why could he not do what was best for everyone and let go of the past and what could never be? As long as I'd known Edward or as long as I could remember knowing Edward, he had been a masochist. I was starting to wonder if he enjoyed the pain he put himself through.
"Hardly." The voice whispered from behind me startling me out of my thoughts.
I whirled around to see Edward smirking at me though Bella must have thought he to be smiling at her. She jumped to her feet and threw herself in his arms. I watched him wrap his arms around her even though he never took his eyes off of me. He kissed the top of her head and the moment he did so I was sucked into a vision.
Jasper trailed his lips down my body as I closed my eyes trying to loose myself in the sensations. My tiny fingers tangled in his blonde hair as my eyes drifted closed and my lips parted.
"Edward..." I moaned and felt the man above me still instantly.
His voice was a growl against the skin of my stomach. "What did you call me?"
My golden eyes popped open as anger from Jasper filled the room suffocating me. Oh god what had I done? How could I be so stupid? I called out another mans name during the heat of the moment.
"Jasper I-"
The vision cut off when the door swung open and Jasper came in wearing a smile. I could hear Edward growl as he studied my expression. He had seen the vision and I cursed myself for not trying to block them when he was around. I silently begged him to not start something while Bella and Jasper were around.
"Alice." Jazz purred my name and wrapped his arms around my waist. The way his hands splayed across my abdomen alerted me to what he what he wanted.
Suddenly I felt anxious and..scared? What did I have to be scared of? It was Jasper and now I knew what could happen all I had to do was make sure to watch what I said. I should never be nervous about intimate with my husband. I could do this without a problem. I had to do this otherwise Jasper would wonder what was going on with me.
He would suspect something occured between Edward and myself and I did not want him to have more reason to try and start something with my ex lover. Taking his hand I smiled back and pulled him up the stairs. From the corner of my eye I caught Edward staring at me with a mix of lust, wonder, and betrayal. Bella was babbling about something yet his attention was solely focused on yours truly.
Edward don't look at me in such a way please. I am doing what is best for everyone and I wish you could see that. I averted my eyes as I reached out to him with my mind.
I hoped everything I was spouting ended up being the truth. Sometimes in moments like this I doubted my actions. Would it ever get easier? Would the love I held for my adopted brother ever leave my heart? Did I really want it to?
TBC...
AN: Woo an update! I hope people are still reading this! I am sorry about the writers block but I now have a basic outline of where I am taking this story. The next chapter is Jasper and Alice having a private moment and her vision coming true. Do you all think Edward will interrupt them?
Let me know your thoughts! Please R&R like always!
