Jealousy

BPOV

Alice always liked to take pictures of every new outfit she bought. So far none of them had gotten into The Album because none of them had a particular memory attached to them. Until finally one did.

The picture was of Alice in dark blue skinny jeans, a turquoise off the shoulder top and matching strappy sandal shoes. Her hair and makeup was all done perfectly and she looked amazing. Alice had been getting ready for a date.

Alice posed as I took the picture. She looked beautiful, although we didn't know why she was dressing up.

"You look amazing Ali, what's the special occasion?" Rose asked adding lip gloss to her own lips.

"I have a date" Alice answered simply, perfecting her hair in the mirror. Rose and I raised our eyebrows at each other behind her back and smiled.

"So, does this mean Jasper finally asked you out?" I asked excitedly. It was no secret that Alice and Jasper liked each other, but they were both so shy about it. And Alice had been waiting years for him to ask her out.

"Nope" Alice answered again, massaging lipstick into her lips. That made Rose and I freeze. She wasn't going out with Jasper?

"Wait, so who are you going out with?" Rose demanded, watching Alice in the mirror.

"Jeremy, from my Chemistry class, he's cute" Alice replied simply, like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"What about Jasper?" I asked the question that was plaguing both Rose and I.

"What about him? He is not my boyfriend, he has not asked me out, Jeremy did, and I can't wait for Jasper forever. Maybe he just doesn't like me" Alice shrugged, holding a jacket up to herself.

"Alice that's not..." I was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.

"See you guys that will be Jeremy" Alice called after her as she flew down the stairs, grabbing her purse on the way.

Rose and I followed her quickly, just as she opened the door. Jasper stood in the doorway; he smiled when he saw Alice.

"Hey Alice" He noticed her outfit. "Wow you look amazing" Alice froze for about half a second, obviously thinking she was going to get out before Jasper came over.

"Thank you Jasper" A car bibbed behind Jasper. "I have to go, see you guys later" She called out behind her as she ran down the drive and into Jeremy's car, not looking back again.

The three of us watched Alice get into the car from the doorway. Jasper's knuckles turning white from where he grasped the door. This was going to be a long night.

"Come on Jasper, we are all watching a movie" Rose ushered him inside and I closed the door behind him. Jasper sat in the chair closest to the window. We all tried watching the movie, but I think we were all watching Jasper, who was watching the window.

About two hours later, a car pulled up outside. We could hear two voices walking up the driveway and to the door. Jasper stood closer to the window, pulling back the net curtains slightly for a better look, but because of the angle of the house you couldn't see the porch from the living room. We heard a key in the door and Jasper jumped over the coffee table and into chair farthest from the one he was originally in. He shot us all a look that clearly said 'you will never repeat what you just saw'. Alice stormed into the hallway, throwing down her keys and flinging her purse and shoes across the room, muttering curses and stomping upstairs. Jasper kept his eyes trained on the television.

"Alice?" Rose and I called after her as we ran up the stairs. We found Alice face down on her bed sobbing into her pillows. I closed her bedroom door quietly.

"Alice what's wrong?" Rose asked sitting down beside her.

"Was it a bad date? Did he go too far?" I asked sitting on the other side. She shook her head and finally sat up, her eyes all red and puffy.

"No, the date was fine; I mean it would have been fine, if I hadn't compared everything he did to what Jasper would have done. Jasper would have opened my door; Jasper would have known which movie I wanted to see; Jasper would have bought me ice cream and not chocolate. And then at the end when he tried to kiss me, I just couldn't! I wanted to, but it felt really wrong. But it's not wrong, because Jasper is not my boyfriend!" Alice cried, before sinking back into her cushions again. "I just want to be alone guys"

And with that request we left. We knew she just needed time alone. Hopefully everything would be fine again in the morning.

Eventually we all left and went home. At least that's what I had thought at the time.

It was stupid to cry over a boy. I knew that. But he wasn't just any boy. He was supposed to be 'the' boy. But he just wouldn't ask me out. Maybe he really didn't like me, even though everyone said he did. What if they were wrong? And all this time I was just kidding myself.

There was a tapping at my window. I knew it was him, before I even got up. I rubbed my eyes hoping to clear away some of my makeup and opened the window to let him in, wandering back to my bed as he climbed inside.

"Alice" He spoke my name quietly sitting on my windowsill. This wasn't the first time we had done this, he had come over a few times over the past few years just so we could talk.

"Jasper" I answered, my voice didn't sound right. We sat in silence for a while longer.

"How was your date?" He asked hesitantly. I looked over to him, he was staring at the floor.

"It sucked" I whined, collapsing back onto my bed holding a pillow to my chest.

"Why did it suck?" He asked confused. And then I snapped. I don't know why, he was just being my curious friend, but I think that's what got to me. I didn't want him to be my friend anymore, I wanted to be more. Anger boiled in the pit of my stomach and flowed through my veins.

"Because of you!" I whisper shouted at him. I couldn't wake up my parents but I wanted him to know how mad I was. He looked taken back, and tried to say something but my floodgates were opened now.

"My date sucked because all I could think about was you! And how I should have been on a date with you! This perfectly nice guy, that asked me out because he likes me, and I couldn't enjoy a single minute. And then when he tried to kiss me..." I saw Jasper tense slightly but I didn't care anymore. I was up and pacing now, the pillow still in my hands. "He got me in his car, which was all wrong! It smelt like aftershave, and yours smells like books and dust. He took me to see a romcom; you would have taken me to see a foreign film or a documentary film. He bought me Hershey's kisses; you would have bought me mint ice cream because it would match my outfit. And, And" I started to stutter I was so frustrated; I threw the pillow at him and stormed off to my ensuite bathroom. "And I hate you!" I slammed the door shut behind me and held onto the sink for support.

"Alice, please come out" He pleaded with me softly through the door. I shook my head even though he couldn't seem me.

"He didn't give me his jacket when I said I was cold, all he talked about was Chemistry and Hockey, but he held my hand and told me I was beautiful. And then when he brought me home and tried to kiss me..." I trailed off again, leaning against the bathroom door.

"Did you kiss him?" I heard Jasper growl. This caught me off guard, Jasper never growled. But I was still fired up.

"NO!" This time I did shout, quickly getting control of my voice again. "I couldn't! Because it felt like this huge betrayal to you!" I swung open the door to face him. "But you are not my boyfriend Jasper" I was calm again now; it was all out in the open. His hazel eyes stared into mine and I felt so lost.

"No I'm not" He whispered.

"No you're not" I repeated, feeling tears sting my eyes.

"Maybe I should be" He took a step closer to me, still staring into my eyes. I started to feel immediately calmer. "Maybe I should ask you out, and take you to a French film and you can giggle at the accents. You can wear pink, because it makes your eyes sparkle, and I can buy you strawberry ice cream. You can complain about how my car smells like a library, but I won't care because it will smell like your perfume for the next few days. And when I drop you off and try to kiss you..." He stepped closer to me again, so I was leaning against the door jamb. Taking my hips, he leant down and captured my lips with his. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. I was so happy I could have burst, or cry, but I did neither I just kissed him back. It was so perfectly simple, yet it had taken us years to get here, it was totally completely and utterly worth it.

And that was the night Jasper and Alice got together. It was quite funny going to Alice's the next day and seeing them cuddling on the couch, Emmett just stared at them like they were aliens until Alice threw the remote at him. Later that day Alice took Rose and me to one side and told us the full story. It was so Alice and Jasper; they could never do things the normal way.
