Chapter 9: The Mall and Other Things
(Alice's POV)
When I woke up the next morning I was so sore, my body hurt everywhere. It took almost five minutes just to get out bed and to the bathroom. I had my shower,and when I got out I stood naked in front of the full length mirror looking at the bruises I had on my body. I had three on my back, one on my left hip, lots of little one's scattered all over both of my legs and one huge one on my left thigh, I had two bruises on my left arm and four on my right. I had a scratch going from my right eyebrow to the corner of my right eye, a small bruise on my right cheek, and few tiny scratch's. "Maria sure did a good number on me." I mumbled to myself.
When I was dressed I went back into the bathroom to start covering my face up. Luckily last night Carlisle was the only one up and he was in his office so Edward went and told him that we were home. I got out my concealer and started applying it to the big scratch and the bruise on my cheek then put it on the little scratch's I had. When that was done I put on foundation, eyeliner, some mascara and a little bit of blush.
When I was done in the bathroom I went downstairs for breakfast. Esme made Egg's, bacon and pancakes. We all sat at the dining room table, Esme and Carlisle did the dish's today so Edward and I went upstairs to my room for a bit before we left for Port Angelic.
"So Edward what did you and Bella do at that party? You guy's kinda went a-wall for while," I said plopping down on my bed, Edward followed right after me.
"We just talked and...well I kinda...well,"
"Well what!" I cocked my eyebrow at him, "Spit it out boy!"
"I asked her out."
"So when you takin her out?"
"Friday." I let out a little girly screech and hugged Edward, I was so happy for Edward, it has been a long time since I've seen him this happy.
Edward and I sat and talked for a bit then Esme came up and told us that we were leaving. I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs, slipped my shoes and jacket on and we left for Port Angelic.
When we got to the mall Edward found a bag in the first store we looked in, it was beige messenger bag made with a corduroy material and had dark brown material around the flap and the straps to keep the bag closed were brown as well, I on the other hand couldn't find anything I liked, I was about to tell Esme and Carlisle that I was fine with the bag they had given me, but we walked by a store and I saw the perfect bag, it was a leather messenger bag that had that worn out look, it was black and it was perfect...till I saw the price of the bag, 95$. There was no way I could let them by me a bag that expensive.
"Alice is that the bag you like, dear?" Esme asked stepping closer to me to examine it.
"Yeah but it's 95$, I will just look for a different one."
"Alice that's quite alright, we don't mind paying that for this gorgeous bag." Esme said.
"No it's to much, really I can find a different one."
"Alice dear, it's fine."
"Are you sure?" I asked looking at them both.
"Yes, now come on let's go get it before someone else dose." Esme said ushering me into the store.
When the bag was paid for and we were out of the store I thanked Esme and Carlisle, "Thank you, you guys didn't have to spend that kind of money on a bag for me, I could have found a different one."
"Your Welcome, and we really don't mind. Now What time are you guys meeting up with you friends?" Esme asked.
"12:30 in the food court." Esme checked her watched, "It's 12:12 so we will show you to the food court and let you guy's have fun and call us if you need us to pick you up and Carlisle and I have one more thing for you two. Carlisle handed us each a credit card, I stared down at it in awe, were they fucking serious, they barely knew us and they were giving us credit cards.
"Esme, we can't accept these," Edward said holding his out for Carlisle or Esme to take it back.
"Yeah, this is to much." I said.
"We want you guys to have good time, it's so you can buy lunch and if you see anything you want you can buy it, were not taking them back." Esme said pushing our hands away.
"Well we'll be on our way and have a good time." Carlisle said. Esme gave us a hug before she left. We both looked at each other then down to our hands and back to each other.
"Lunch, that's all I'll use it for. Nothing else." I said sticking it in my wallet.
"Yeah, nothing else." Edward said putting his in his wallet too in a kind of daze.
(Jasper POV)
"Jasper are you still coming with us to the mall?" Rosalie asked.
"Yeah, I guess." I said then went back to reading my book
"Well then get your ass in gear, were leaving a couple of minutes."
Closing my book I got up from my bed grabbed my wallet and jacket then went downstairs put my shoes on and went outside to Emmett's big ass jeep. We were taking Emmett's car because we were driving Alice and Edward home after. We made a quick stop to pick up Bella then headed to Port Angelic.
When we got to the mall and were heading inside Emmett asked, "Were eating before we doing anything else right?"
"Yes Emmett?" Rosalie said.
"Good, cause I'm starving."
"Emmett you ate four slices of pizza before we left."
"Yeah that was like forty-five minutes ago." Emmett said like he hadn't had anything to eat in day's.
Edward and Alice were sitting at a table talking when we got there Edward got up to pull out a chair for Bella beside him, Emmett went right passed them with a quick, "hi guys, bye guys." To get food. Rose sat next to Alice and I sat next Bella leaving the spot next to Rose open for Emmett.
"You guys eaten yet?" Bella asked Alice and Edward.
"No, we were waiting for you guys, have you guys eaten anything yet?" Alice replyed.
"No, I think I'll go have what Emmett's having." I said getting up from my seat to go stand next to Emmett in line. I ordered my food then went back to sit down, Alice was the first one back to the table she had a burger and fries. I sat back down where I was sitting before.
"I don't bite you know." Alice said looking down at the table eating some of her fries, I picked up my tray and moved over one spot. We sat there eating in silence till everyone came back. We all ate our lunch and babbled about nothing in particular. Alice didn't talk munch, in fact I think Bella talked more then Alice did. When we finished eating we all headed off to the stores. Rosalie was just itching to buy stuff, Bella... not so much and Alice just kind of lagged behind them well Edward, Emmett and I talked about the up coming baseball game for school. Rosalie came out of the store with three bags and handed them to Emmett, Bella and Alice each had one small bag.
Eventually We kind of went off in pairs, Bella and Edward saw the book store and went in and told us that they would meet up with us later, Rosalie saw a some store called Victoria Secret and dragged Emmett in there which is one store I would have rather not seen my sister drag Emmett into. So it was just Alice and me. I could see she was fidgeting with her hands. "You Know I don't bite either." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Look, I'm really sorry about what happened last night at the party." She said still fidgeting with her hands.
"Why?" why was she apologizing to me. She didn't do anything to me, other then yell at me for pulling her off Maria and out of the party to calm her down.
"For punching your girlfriend."
"Look, I know Maria and I'm guessing there was some reason you punched her, I'm sure you didn't just walk up to her, tap her on the shoulder and punch her in the face. And I broke up with last night." Alice snapped her head to look up at me. "So not only did I get into a fight with her but I caused you two to break up, I've only been here one week and I have already caused a lot of trouble, god why dose everything bad happen when I'm aro..."
"Alice," I said cutting her off. "It wasn't your fault we broke up, we have always had a rocking relationship, it was only a matter of time before we broke up so don't beat yourself up about it." I said holding on to her shoulders and looking down into her eyes.
"And I'm sorry about yelling at you last night, I know you were only trying to help." Alice said fidgeting with her clothes.
"It's okay, now let's drop this subject and go have a good time." I said smiling down at Alice.
"Sounds good," Alice said with shy smile as we started off towards some stores.
Alice hesitated on buying at least a couple of things because she said she didn't want to use the credit card that Esme and Carlisle had given to her and Edward. When we met up with Everyone Rosalie had seven bags which she had given to Emmett to carry, Edward and Bella had spent most of the time in the book store, they each bought one, I bought a few shirts and a pair of Alice approved pants along with a new CD which Alice also bought as well, all in all I think we all had a good time.
Esme and Carlisle invited us all to stay for supper. The girls went off to Alice's room and Emmett, Edward and I went out side to toss the football around till dinner was ready.
"BOYS! DINNER IS READY!" Esme shouted from the back porch. We made our way back to the house.
Dinner was peaceful, full of light conversation and laughter. Edward, Emmett and I offered to do the dishes but Carlisle and Esme told us they would do it.
Edward and Bella just sat on the floor of the living room talking as did Rosalie and Emmett, Alice went upstairs and I decided to follow her. But when she went into her room lingered in the hallway.
"Its all right, you can come in." Alice said.
When I entered her room I saw a open sketch book on her desk, I stood over the desk looking down at her sketch just admiring it. It was a girl, and she was on her knee with her head in her hands crying and the was a house behind her that looked destroyed. Her sketch was filled with so much emotion and detail, it was beautiful. Something about this sketch spiked my curiosity about why Alice was in foster care.
"Alice?" She looked up from her book and saw that I had been looking at her sketch, she jumped up from her bed and ran to close the sketch book.
"Why were you looking at this?" She said in slightly angered tone clutching her sketch book to her chest.
"I'm sorry," I said "I saw it sitting on the desk when I walked in, I didn't mean to upset you."
Alice just walked into her closet with her sketch book and came back out with out it. "Look... Ummm sorry for freaking on you, but I don't like people looking at my drawings."
"Its okay, I get it, I should of known, I don't like people looking at my drawings either."
After we put that behind us Alice and I sat and talked on her bed about nothing really, just light conversation, she even laughed a few times and it was the most beautiful sound in the world.
When it was time to go I gave her a small hug as well as Esme. We dropped Bella off at her house then head back to my house, Emmett was "sleeping over" with me, but we all knew he was just going to end up in Rose's bed, fuck, my mother even knew that.
I slept like a baby last night, I had been so exhausted from shopping with Alice and the others, and from playing a bit of foot ball. I was glad that I didn't really have anything planned for today, I could sit in my room and draw, or read a book and listen to music. "But first breakfast." I mumbled to myself after I heard my stomach growl from hunger.
Heading down the hall way you could hear Emmett's snores coming from Rosalie's room. I rolled my eyes as I slightly shook my head walking by her room. Just as I was entering the kitchen I heard her voice, her small yet at the same time loud chipper voice. As I turned the corner there she sat talking happily with my mother.
"Alice? What are you doing here?" I asked walking up to the counter and leaning back on my elbows.
"Your mother invited me over. Esme and your mother were talking earlier this morning and Esme mentioned that I would be home alone today since Edward was going over to Bella's house today."
"Well Alice dear have you had any breakfast yet?" my mother asked after Alice had finished explaining her story.
"Yes, Esme made some delicious pancakes this morning."
"Alright, Jasper are you hungry sweetie?"
"Yeah, I'll just have eggs please." I said sitting down on a bar stool at the counter.
Once my mother had made me eggs she left to go meet Esme at their office. I ate in silence as Alice just picked at the hem of her shirt. Just as I was about to say something her phone started ringing, she stood up to pull it out of her pocket, and her eyes went dark and her face had a look of anger and disgusted written all over it. Finally she opened it and answered in an angry tone.
"What Do you want?" She spit into the phone.
