Chapter 12
Alice went back to sleeping in her old room. They did their separate things. Jasper kept on going to surf training and eventually started filming his movie, and Alice worked at her job and started modeling a little.
But, she told her friend, Kaitlyn, from work that she broke up with Jasper. Even though she wasn't sure if they did actually break up. She was just so pissed that he would break a promise. And besides, why would he want to date her anyway? Another annoying, obsessed fan.
And a few weeks later, the worst thing – the icing on the cake – happened.
Alice was at work on a slow Sunday. Kaitlyn wasn't in that day, but another girl, Ellie, was. Ellie had just started working there a few days before, and was just figuring out how things worked. She was always pushing her wavy dark hair back.
Anyway, it was extremely slow that day, and Ellie was looking through one of the magazines that had just came in that day. Alice was sort of looking at it with her, just peaking over her shoulder to see what was going on in the world of celebrities.
"Ehmahgahd," Ellie said suddenly, "he's so HOT!" And Alice laughed. Ellie was such a teenaged girl.
"Who is?" Alice asked, looking over to see who she was talking about. It was Jasper, of course. "Oh, him. He's my boyfriend." She actually wasn't sure if she was still with him. They haven't actually spoken in a long time.
"Not according to this article," Ellie said, "it says he's dating Daniella Ford." She slid the magazine in Alice's direction. There, she saw it. That Jasper Hale was dating Daniella Ford. It even had a picture of them kissing.
"But…" Alice said, without knowing exactly what she was going to say. Tears pricked at her eyes as she slammed the magazine shut. She couldn't stand seeing her boyfriend with someone else. Even though he may not have been her boyfriend anymore.
"Don't worry about it, Ali, it might not be true," Ellie said. "They put anything into them things. Don't worry."
Alice didn't say anything, she just continued working quietly for the rest of the day, the only thing on her mind was that she and Jasper were over.
––––––
After work that day, Alice went home. All day, she had been trying not to cry, but once she was safely inside – in her bedroom – she was able to break down. Since she was 13, she's had a crush on him. Not even a crush, she was deeply in love. Was everything she had been wishing and hoping for just going to disappear?
All good things have to end, she thought as she wiped the tears off her face. She shouldn't waste her time on Jasper. She should move on, it's not like they really were going to be together forever. Besides, he never even told her that he loved her.
–––––
Jasper came home late that night. Alice was just getting ready to go to bed when he came in.
"Hey," he said to Alice, "are you still gonna sleep in your room?" Alice nodded, not meeting her eyes with his. She couldn't stand to look at him. "Alright. I'm getting up early because I have to go to New York to do some filming. Will you be ok here for a few days?"
"Yeah," she whispered sadly. She's going to have to get use to being away from Jasper anyway.
"Ok," he said, leaning in to kiss her, but she pulled away, then shook her head sadly. "Uhm. Goodnight. I…uhm… I'll see you, I guess…"
Alice nodded and went into her room where she cried herself to sleep…
The next morning, Alice didn't have to go to work so she was able to sleep in a little late. She was glad, because she wouldn't have been able to see Jasper leave. It was too symbolic. He was going off to be with Daniella Ford, and possibly fuck her.
Alice wasn't sure of the exact point of when she and Jasper broke up. And when exactly did he start dating Daniella Ford? The internet was the only sure way to find out…
She got of bed and went over to the computer where she googled "Jasper Hale's Girlfriend" and came up with lots of results. A most of them were old and said he was dating Maria, and other really old ones said he was dating some girl named Massie. But the most recent one was from a week ago, saying he was, in fact, in a relationship with Daniella.
Alice closed the internet window and sighed sadly. She wished she hadn't made a big deal about her picture. She's had it for so long, and it didn't even matter anymore. It was just a piece of paper.
Maybe if she could talk to Jasper about this… oh, wait. He wasn't here, and would be back for a few days. Since she was stressed, Alice wasn't thinking rationally.
I have about enough money for a flight to New York, she thought. And she knew the hotel where he was staying at and the filming locations, because he had told her before the fight.
This was it, she was going…
––––
Luckily, Alice was able to get a flight to New York on such short notice. She called in to work, saying that there was an emergency and had to go to New York for a few days, and will call with more information, before she did anything.
After what seemed like days rather than hours, Alice arrived in NY. It was unlike any place she had ever been to before in her life. People were everywhere, rushing around to get to where they needed to be on time. She didn't think that she had ever seen so many people in one place at once. After feeling a little overwhelmed, she decided that she liked it.
Alice knew where Jasper was staying, so she quickly got a cab and told the driver the location of the hotel Jasper was staying at. Once they, she paid the driver exactly the amount due.
The hotel was more tall than it was wide. Their had to be probably 30 floors. Alice went inside and saw the extravagant decorations. She was almost too mesmerized to go to the front desk. When she got there, the tired looking receptionist with the fake smile said. "Welcome to Volterra Hotel, how my I help you?" The woman was young-looking, with childlike features. It was hard to imagine her to be any older than about 14 or 15. Her nametag said 'Jane.'
"Yeah, I need to know what room Jasper Hale is staying in," Alice said in a hurry.
Jane rolled her eyes. And sighed in annoyance. "Oh, another fan girl. I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to give out that information."
"But," Alice said, "you don't understand, I'm his girlfriend. Could you call him, and say that Alice is here, he'll know who I am."
"Hmmm," Jane said to herself as she picked up the phone to call. "I thought Daniella was his girlfriend." She pressed the buttons on the phone and waited for an answer. "I'm sorry, Alice, but he's not in right now."
Alice turned around and left, a little disappointed. She knew where the set of the movie was, but she would have rather talked to him in private. She could have waited here for him, but she wanted to talk to him now.
She left, and got yet another cab, and told the driver where to go. If Alice had known that it was just a few blocks away, she would have walked. The set was really busy, with people running around, and tons of screaming fans.
Alice stood around the fan girls, wanting to push them out of the way, but that wouldn't have very nice, so she just tried to squeeze her way through the crowed. But when people started to fight, so did she.
"Get out of my way!" she screeched, pushing one kid. Said kid pushed her too. Alice pushed that kid one more time and worked her way through the sea of people.
A security guard was standing there, not moving. "Excuse me," Alice said to him. "I need to get in there it's an emergency."
"Sorry, kid. No one's allowed without a VIP pass," he said, his voice was really deep.
If this guy wasn't so big and intimidating, Alice would have caused him physical pain. She couldn't take this anymore. Maybe dating an actor wasn't all that cracked up to be as she thought. Good think she came here just to get that closure.
Just as Alice was about to start crying and yelling at this guy to please let her in, the fan girls began screaming louder and she could have sworn she heard someone call her name in disbelief. That's when she looked up and saw him.
"It's ok, Citrus," he said to the security guard, "she's with me. Come here, Alice."
Citrus let Alice through and Jasper took her hand and led her to a quieter place on the set. There were still some people around, just no more screaming fans. Daniella was one of the people around. Alice couldn't stand to look at her, into her big, brown eyes. She was so beautiful and more intimidating that Citrus was.
"Alice," Jasper started, "what the – how did you get – what are you doing here?"
"Why are you dating Daniella? I mean, I don't really have anything against her, it's just that you could have at least broken up with me first."
"Alice," Jasper said, really confused, "I didn't break up with you and…"
Alice cut him off. "I know you didn't break up with me! That's why I came here. So we can break up and you can go fuck Daniella."
Jasper looked around to make sure no one heard what Alice had said. Luckily no one did. "I don't want to… fuck… her. I don't want to break up with you. I'm not dating her."
"Really?" Alice asked, hopeful.
"Yeah. It's you who I want to be with. I love you," he said, and of course Alice wanted to cry. Five years she wished Jasper would love her, and now he does.
"I love you, too," she said, hugging him. Jasper kissed the top of her head. They stayed that way for a long time.
"Hey," someone said, and they pulled apart. Alice looked at who spoke and saw that it was Daniella. "Are you Jasper's girlfriend?" Alice nodded, and Daniella rolled her eyes jokingly. "He talks about you all the time. He never shuts up."
Alice looked at Jasper and smiled. "Well, it's a good thing you're here," Daniella continued, "all the other girls on the set are so boring. Maybe we can go shopping sometime."
"Ok," Alice said, "but I can't stay here for too long because I have to go home soon and go to work."
"Don't worry about that," Jasper said, "I can call them and say that you'll be back soon. And maybe, if you want, you can be an extra in the movie, then sometime I can get you a small roll, if you want."
"Really?" Alice exclaimed. "Thanks, Jasper. I love you."
"Love you too," he said. And the way his eyes became bluer when he said that, I knew it was true. I was glad that he was still my boyfriend and that I didn't have to hate Daniella like I did Maria.
When I left my family, I didn't think that my life would actually be getting better. I didn't think that my first boyfriend would be the boy of my dreams. I never guessed I would be hanging with the rich and famous. I didn't think I would be where I am now. I owe Jasper my life for that.
The End ;o Remember, whoever gives me the best idea will WIN! - Alice xoxo
