JPOV.
After talking to Alice's brothers last night I'd decided to give it a week till I went to my father about getting her help. I couldn't force Alice to eat, she'd have to help herself if she wanted to get better and if not, I'd tell my father because it's what's best for her.
APOV.
My hangover was vile, I greatly regretted the amount I'd drank last night. Firstly, I knew I'd have made a fool of myself not that I know what I'd done ...yet. And secondly I'd wanted to spend time with Jasper, Jacob and my brothers but I guess that didn't happen.
"Is there anything I can get you?" I was sat at the breakfast bar while Jasper wondered round the kitchen, I had my head in my folded arms on the counter.
"Just coffee please" I looked up to see if he'd make me eat, he just paused for a moment and carried on.
I felt dizzy from lifting my head and put it back in my folded arms. It was irritating me that I hadn't found any scales in Jaspers house yet, I felt thinner but I couldn't find any way of knowing if I really was.
I heard Jasper sit opposite me and put two things down on the table, I looked up through my dizzy spell and I could make out him pushing a mug towards me and I guess he was eating cereal.
It took a while for my vision to clear which was worrying, I rubbed my forehead and took a sip of my coffee.
"I have some homework to do, I guess we should do our homework now then have the evening to do what we like" I nodded, things were quieter and I felt like he wasn't happy with me, I wasn't happy with myself after last night.
I reached across the table and took his free hand, he stopped eating and looked at me. He looked sad, like he was keeping something to himself.
"I'm sorry about last night" He looked confused "I should have stayed with you and eaten with you and spoken to my brothers and introduced you to Emmett properly-"
"It's fine honestly, you had to blow off some steam" He smiled "Just next time, try and blow off steam that doesn't end with you throwing up in Edwards car" I nearly spat out my coffee.
"WHAT?" My voice sounded weird, weak. Jaspers smile flickered and I swallowed, how did my voice come out sounding like that?
"Urm yeah, Edward gave us a lift back and you threw up in the back seat" He still wasn't looking at me, I didn't say anything I just bit my lip.
I left it a moment, he still didn't look up. I slipped off the stool slowly and went upstairs, I knew he wouldn't follow. I didn't know what I'd done wrong, what I'd done that had upset him so much.
I went into Jaspers room to get my stuff form the night before and ended up cleaning his room for him, maybe he'll be less mad at me, maybe.
I went into my room and cleaned it like I had Jaspers before going to get a shower. I was halfway through shaving my legs when it finally crossed my mind why Jasper wasn't happy with me. How could I be so stupid! He was wanted me to ask for something to eat, ugh.
I finished off shaving my legs and got ready as quickly as I could pulling on my mis match underwear, socks with monkeys on, dark blue skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a burgundy zip jacket.
I left my room, hair still well, and knocked on Jaspers door.
"Alice you don't need to kn-" I ran through the door and jumped onto the bed. I was eager for Jasper not to be mad at me anymore, it wasn't even like I was avoiding eating I was just more concerned about the night before rather than eating.
Jasper caught me as I jumped onto the bed. He'd also showered and was wearing black skinny jeans and a plain grey t-shirt, his socks were odd one was dark green and the other purple.
"Al?" He wasn't too sure what I was doing, neither was I though.
"Later, can we cook dinner together?" His face lit up at the mention of an interest in food from me, I smiled at him eagerly.
"Yeah, great! What d'you want to make?" I thought quickly thinking of low fat vegetarian meals.
"Noodles" I kept smiling eagerly and got more comfy on his knee. He'd cheered up a lot now.
"Do you want anything now, it's a while till dinner time..." I didn't let my smile falter but he was asking a lot, but I wanted to keep Jasper happy.
We both took our homework down to the dinner table and I sat eating a low fat strawberry yoghurt while doing some of my assignments. I always got through my work quickly, even with Jasper around I managed to get my two English and one history assignment done in a matter of hours.
Although small twinge in my forehead had started to come along and the more I worked the worse it got. I was tired of feeling terrible all the time. I tried to forget about it and carry on.
Jasper also worked quickly. But I noticed out the corner of my eye he kept looking up at me, hoping to catch my eye. While doing my work I was also mentally preparing myself for not only eating a meal but eating a meal in the presence of Jasper. This made my headache worse.
After finishing the notes for biology I stretched slowly and finally met Jaspers gaze "Are you done?" I said softly, he nodded and looked up at me as I rubbed my head.
"What's wrong?" Jasper was scanning my face.
I liked that he cared so much, but I can't have him constantly worrying. It wasn't fair on him.
"Just a bit tired" I smiled at him and squeezed his hand "And now all our works done we have the rest of the day"
We ended up watching 500 Days of Summer together on the sofa my headache was still bad, I wasn't aware I'd fallen asleep but Jasper woke me up at the end of the film. I still had my headache.
JPOV.
I woke Alice at the end of the film, she'd said she was feeling tired so I thought it kindest to let her sleep. I was impressed she'd asked to help me cook, she was eager and for once showing some interest in food.
"Hey, Alice?" I nudged her softly.
"Mhmmm?" She moved her arms and I had to grab hold of them so she didn't elbow me. I could have fit one of my hands round both her arms they were so thin...
"Jasper what are you doing?" She looked at me half confused and half annoyed, she wasn't the type of girl who'd be impressed with a guy physically controlling her.
"If you'd have moved your elbows back anymore you'd have elbowed me in the ribs and face" I said with a slight smile on my face, all annoyance vanished and she giggled.
"Sorry Jasper" She wrinkled her forehead and rubbed her head like she had before I was about to ask if she was ok but she spoke first "What time is it?" Her smile was back, no sign that anything was wrong.
"Almost six, we should start making dinner" Alice had shuffled her way onto my knee by this point. Her brow wrinkled again and I reached to feel her head, I was starting to think she might be ill again...
She grabbed my hand before I had a chance to get to her head.
"Let's make dinner!" She hopped up still with my hand in hers with a big smile on her face. Alice was being weird today and I'm not sure what it was, I'm sure I'd figure it out later.
Alice danced into the kitchen and I followed behind her.
"So, what kinda noodles should we make?" I was starting to believe the smile.
"Urmm, we could do like a stir fry with some veg and noodles and we have a jar of sweet and sour sauce we can put on it?" She nodded excitedly.
"Perfect! What d'you want me to do then?" I met her smile and got her to cut up the peppers, carrots and onions as I searched for the jar of sauce and water chestnuts.
"So your parents aren't back till tomorrow right?" Alice was talking while she chopped, she seem very chatty, I liked it but considering how things had been this morning it seemed a little weird.
"Yeah they've gone to visit some friends in Canada" I said absentmindedly as I searched the cupboards.
She continued to ask questions about my parents and their friends in Canada, she'd asked about my visits their and I'd just told a rather long story about a trip there from years ago. I'd also finally found the water chestnuts and sauce I turned round to see Alice with her head in her hands I dropped both items, forgetting that the jar would smash. I was by her side immediately.
Alice looked up at the smash, she was crying and her eyes were really red and puffy.
"What did you drop the sauce for?" I looked at her confused. She was sat there puffy eyed crying and wanted to know why I dropped the sauce?
"Shh, what's wrong?" She burst out laughing. Ok, I was confused. I cupped her face in my hands searching her eyes. She just laughed again and pulled my hands away holding them on her lap.
She'd been sat at the breakfast bar while cutting the vegetables.
"Jasper nothings wrong" She laughed again I was still confused "Onions just really, really make my eyes water" I rolled my head back and chuckled, I could hear her giggle.
She put her thumb on my chin and guided my face down to hers.
"You know Jasper, you really need to stop worrying" I sighed, she kissed me lightly and then pulled away slightly as if to wait for me to kiss her back, I did. After a moment she pulled away giving me a very serious look.
"Now Jasper, what are we going to do about our dinner?" We both laughed, I looked at the mess the sauce had made. Maybe Alice was right, I should stop worrying so badly it probably wasn't making her feel any better.
"We could get take out, my parents always leave money when they're away" Her smile quivered, take out would be a big step for her "If it's too much for you-"
"No, we'll get take out" I beamed, this could only mean good things for Alice right?
OR MAYBE NOT!
