The next day
(Jasper's POV)
I had watched her all night… the angel who still slept in my arms, had been tossing and turning all night. I knew she had a perfectly good reason to but it still made me worry. She had eventually gotten to sleep late, last night and she looked so beautiful as her eyes fluttered closed. I had watched been watching her sleep in my arms almost all night and she looked to cute as she did so, like the way she smiled, slightly in her sleep, the way she cuddled close to me and the way she snored ever so lightly made me think that everything that had happened didn't.
I looked down after a while to see that Alice was pressed tightly to my chest and I couldn't help but smile as I saw her eyes flutter just the tiniest little bit. I carefully and lightly stroked her hair, trying my hardest not to make my sleeping beauty. Her eyes lids ended up shooting open and she jumped up from a lying position, breathing heavily. "Ali… it's ok … it's ok … it's me" I whispered to her and she latched herself onto my t-shirt, which I had forgotten to take off last night. "Hey it's going to be alright" I told her, while wrapping my arms around her. "It was just a nightmare… your safe here with me" I told her again, kissing her forehead. "I… It fel…felt so rea…real" She told me in between sobs. "It's ok Darlin" I whisper in her ear and I could feel her shiver against me.
When she had calmed down enough to talk, I asked her "Do you want to talk about it?" "No" she whispered back quietly. "Ok… come on let's get something to eat" I told her, standing up and without warning I pulled her over my shoulder as she screamed with laughter. She giggled and started hitting my back as we started to go down the stairs towards the living room. "Put me down" She screamed and started kicking frantically. "Never" I yelled back at her with laughter in voice as we walked down the last step of the stairs. "Put me down" she screamed through her laughter, I of course didn't listen and continued on my quest to the kitchen with her on my shoulder kicking and screaming.
As we entered the kitchen I saw my parents standing at the bench talking quietly to one another. Alice was still screaming on my shoulder and my parents quickly turned around to see me standing there with her over my shoulder. "Uh…" Was all I could see as Alice's screams quietened? "Umm…" Was all I could say as they just stared at me? "Jazz… sweetie put me down" Alice said breaking the uncomfortable silence between us. "Oh right" I said, grabbing her waist and pulling her down my body so that she landed on the floor in front of me. I quickly wrapped my arms around her shoulders as she turned to face my parents. "So… What's going on?" My mother asked sweetly. "Umm nothing much" I replied to her, tightening my hold on Alice. "So what are you guys going to do today?" My father asked us. "Umm nothing much" Alice told them, not revelling that she had leukaemia. "Where just coming down for something to eat" I told my parents, loosening my grip on Alice's shoulders a little. "How about I make pancakes and I will call you down when they're ready ok" My mum told us. "Sure thanks mum" I told her, pulling away from Alice and grabbing her hand, pulling her out of the room.
When we got to my room I had to ask "Why didn't you tell them what's going on?" I asked her. "Because I don't want to worry anyone about it" Alice told me, looking out the window. "But they need to know" I told Alice truthfully, walking over to her. "I know and I will tell them when I am ready to but for now I just want to enjoy everything without people worrying about me 24/7" She told me, talking my hand. "I promise I will tell them, just not right now" She told me as I pulled her into a bear hug. "Alice, Jasper foods ready" My mum shouted to us to come down. "Coming" I yelled back to her, turning to Alice. "Race you" She told me. "Ok, ready…set" I began. "Go" she shouted running out the door. "Hey no fair" I shouted, chasing after her.
After we ate we decided to go to her place and see her family. "Mum, Dad I'm home" Alice shouted as we stepped inside. "In the kitchen, sweetie" her mum called back to her. We approached the kitchen to see her mother sitting at the kitchen table alone. "Hey" she said, getting up and walking over towards us. "What happened to you last night, you didn't call or anything and we were worried" she said, pulling Alice into her arms, hugging her tightly. Oh crap I forgot to call and tell them she was stay over; I mentally slapped myself over the head. "Oh right by the time we got back to my place my parents let her stay for tea, we must have fallen asleep watching a movie. Sorry" I told her, trying to cover Ali's sickness up. "It's okay now. As long as she's safe and well" her mother told us, pulling away from Alice. Yeah right she's not safe or well. Well she might be safe but she's defiantly not well I thought to myself.
"So what are you guys doing later?" her mother asked us. "Umm where going to see Bella" Alice quickly said as I quickly said "Going to the movies". "Crap I thought to myself. "So is it one or the other?" she asked confused. "What we meant to say is we're going to see Bella then going to the movies" Alice said sweetly, quickly covered up where we were really going. "Oh well that's nice" she told us. "I have to go see your father at work but I'll see you both later" She said hugging Alice and I quickly and then walked off. "You know you're going to have to tell them sometime and sooner is better than later" I told Alice, leaning against the kitchen door frame. "I know but not yet, I'll tell them when I am ready" She told me, walking over towards me. "I just need to sort out what's going on in my head first before I tell anyone else" She told me looking out the window. As quickly as she did this she was facing me again. "You won't tell anyone yet will you?" she asked, pleading with her eyes. "I promise Darlin I won't tell anyone unless you won't me to" I told her truthfully, walking the short distance towards her and wrapping my arms around her waist. "You should change so we can go to the doctors" I told her, remembering that she was still in her clothes from yesterday. "Yeah… I'll be right back" She told me, quickly running up the stairs.
I stood there waiting for her until something court my eye from the living room. I turned around and walked over to the fireplace. On top was a bunch of pictures of Alice and her brother from when they were little till now. I couldn't believe how much Alice had changed but as I picked up a picture of her when she was about 6 I couldn't help but feel dread. What would happen t her, what would happen to us? If she died I couldn't live with myself everything was going wrong. We were supposed to be together forever and as the thought of Alice dying filled my head, tears sprang to my eyes. I didn't know Alice was there until I felt arms wrap around my waist. "Jazz it's going to be okay" she assured me. "No what if… what if… you… you know died" I told her, as I sobbed quietly. "Jazz come on let's just see the doctor and he can tell us more" she told me, pulling me out the door.
