CHAPTER 22
ALICE'S POV
"Oh my god. Edward I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me please." I begged. I didn't know what came over me all I know is that Edward told me to speed up and that I felt this horrible feeling as if he hated me more than anything in the world.
"Alice what the hell?!" He shouted.
"I don't know!" I was scared and just wanted to go home.
"Alice the whole family thinks we're dead because we almost went off of a cliff and your phone died before I could tell Bella we're alright. And I freaked and I proposed and I don't know if she heard me and all I want is to find her and hold her and never let her go again." He was shouting and freaking out and utterly scared.
"Edward we're fine, we're scared, and we both want to find our family so just calm down and let's go find them." I said. Why can't everything just be normal for once? My life is so messed up it's not even funny.
"Alice you're right. I'm sorry I just…I'm confused and I'm freaking out and I took it out on you and I'm sorry. But I do think that I should drive if we're going to go find them." He said. I nodded I accepted his apology and he was right he should drive.
We switched seats and Edward found his way back to the main road swerving around trees and taking dirt roads that seemed to last forever. I hoped he really had forgiven me and he wasn't just saying that to make me calm down. But after about an hour we we're on the freeway and he was laughing and smiling. I had turned on the radio and we were belting out lyrics like there was no tomorrow of course in our case there almost wasn't one.
JASPER'S POV
They're dead. My soon to be fiancée and our unborn child we're dead. Why? Why had they had to die? And Edward too, he was my brother after all. This is unfair. I know I've screwed up a lot lately but I would've much rather I die than Alice. It's my fault that they're dead mine. If only I hadn't gone and joined the army and told everyone at dinner. I killed them and that was something I was going to have to deal with for the rest of my life.
When I showed Bella that ring my hear felt extremely heavy. I have never felt like this in my life and I never want to feel like this again. This feeling of loneliness and emptiness, it's a horrible feeling that no one should ever have to feel. I just thank god that I have Bella to talk to now. We don't really get along well but I think that's changed we have a special connection now and that's something that can't change.
I was in complete denial I kept telling myself that they're not dead, they didn't fall off of that cliff, Alice snapped out of it and they just lost signal but it's been too long. It's been hours and we haven't heard anything. Wouldn't someone had heard the crash and called police? If they had just lost signal they would've just turned around and came back the way they came but it's too long.
Now here I am sitting here holding Bella and telling her that everything is going to be okay while she mutters why and how over and over again. Did I know that everything was going to be okay? No. Did I want and hope and pray that everything was going to be okay? Yes. I didn't even realize it but I was still crying. I had been crying for so long now that it almost seemed natural to cry and never stop.
I kept praying for that miracle. I knew the chance of one happening were slim to none but I also knew that there was still a chance no matter how small that chance is that they're still alive. Another hour went by and I was losing faith when an officer came over to us and said that we we're free to go on bail. Bella looked at me hope, happiness, and curiosity in her eyes. We we're led the opposite way of Rosalie, Esme, and Carlisle's cell so I don't know if they we're let out yet or not.
We walked into a little room with a small table and a couple chairs. I knew from experience that this was not procedure. The officer opened the door and walked away, "This is odd." I said and Bella nodded. I looked around and there standing in the room we're Edward and Alice. I think I almost died with over-joyfulness.
"Oh god Jasper, I've either gone insane or we died because I actually see Edward and Alice standing in front of us." Bella said she was a little freaked out but still over-joyed none the less.
"Bella I think we're dead because I see them too." I said I was a little worried that I've actually gone insane but I was pretty sure I was dead and I was happy to be dead.
Alice spoke first saying, "You guys aren't dead and neither are we. Edward swerved away from the cliff and reached over and slammed on the brake pedal. He saved all three of our lives! He tried to tell Bella that we we're alright but my stupid phone died."
"Better the phone than you darling." I said and she smiled her beautiful childlike smile. I walked over to her and held her close and tightly, she stood on her tiptoes and I still had to bend down a little and she kissed me.
BELLA'S POV
I walked no ran straight over to Edward as soon as Alice was done talking.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again Edward Anthony Cullen! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I threatened pointing my finger at him and then crossing my arms.
He just laughed and said, "No worries there love, I'm never getting in a car while the pixie is driving EVER again! I'm so sorry Bella I love you so much."
I got bored with his apology and kissed him instead. It was short and sweet and then I remembered his proposal. I didn't even have to think anything through I had my answer and I would tell him the same answer 100 times over.
I looked straight into his eyes and smiled. "Yes." I said.
He looked at me curiously. "Yes what?" He asked.
"Yes I will marry you. I will marry you 100 times over. And yes I love you too. And yes you can still have your perfect plan that you ran by Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme, and even Emmett and I'll still give you the same answer. Yes. I'll marry you here and now or I'll wait 90 years it doesn't matter to me my answer will always be the same. Yes, yes, yes, and yes."
He smiled like a mad man and kissed me again. I could've kissed him forever but I thought someone should bail the others out. I broke our kiss and Edward frowned.
"Just wondering but is anyone going to bail out Rose and your parents?" I asked.
He nodded and said "All taken care of. They're in the car waiting for us."
I smiled and grabbed his hand. "Well let's go we continue where we left off in the car." I said. He smiled back and nodded I looked over at Jasper and Alice I laughed and said, "Come on guys you can continue in the car but for now let's just go home."
