Chapter 13…"What the hell…?"

Jasper POV

We got into the car and I drove calmly to Alice's house. It was a quite awkward, as neither of us said a word. That's why I turned the radio on, but that changed nothing. I had to tell her something, but… what?

-A-alice… I'm so sorry, I'm so embarrassed… Just, forget it- I spoke nervously.

-It's okay, Jasper. Don't you worry. Everything's okay, I'm not mad at all. You just cought me off base- she smiled to calm me. I sighed and nodded.- how many days will be your sister staying here?

-I don't know… I guess not a lot. She's losing classes and I don't think my mum is happy about that…

-So, you've got to spend more time together!

-Yeah… but I gotta go to school tomorrow, so I'll see her in the afternoon.

-Why don't you cut classes? You've never done it.

-I dunno…

-I'll tell the teachers you're sick, don't worry- she smiled me again.

-Really?

-Sure! Spend the day with your sister, you deserve it.

-Thanks, Alice- I smiled. "She's so perfect"I thought automatically.

We finally arrived home. The lights were off and everything was darkness as Alice's parents were sleeping. We tried to walk slowly and quietly, but I bumped into the sofa… I swear it was not there earlier!

We started laughing like crazies. I laid down the sofa while laughing and Alice, who was sitting on the floor, was laughing till her cries.

-I'm sorry- I murmured then.

-My parents are probably awake after such a noise… Wait her and, please, stay quiet!- Alice stood up and went to her parents' room. After a few seconds, she came back laughing- Both of them are snoring.

-Well, I think it's time to go to bed…

-Yep, I've got to get up early.

-I don't, but I'm tired- we walked to our bedroom's doors- So, see you tomorrow… and thanks again.

-You're welcome, Jazz- "she called me Jazz"- see you tomorrow.

-Sweet dreams- I murmured before entering my room. I dressed with my pijamas and, no sooner had I lain in my bed that I fell asleep.

At the following day, I woke up not so early in the morning. I had a shower, got dressed and phoned Rose. Although she grouched because she was sleeping, she changed her mind when I told her about going to the shopping centre.

After one hour, I picked Rosalie up and we went to the mall.

I must admit I spent a wonderful time with her, as she was like my best friend. She trusted in each other and we knew we could lean on each other.

When it was time to rest, we went to the same café we had gone with Alice the day before.

-So, tell me…- I started enquiring- what happened with Emmett?- Rose turned white.

-N-nothing- she lied so badly.

-Come on, Rose. I know both of you…

-W-well… we danced… and kissed- she confessed while drinking his coffe.

-Anything else?- I enquired.

-Well… you know!- she blushed and I started laughing- and what about Alice and you?- I decided to tell her about what had happened the night before.

-Oh, that's so sweet!... but you're like a snail, Jazz… you're so slow!- Rose said amused.

-My relationship with Alice is completely different from the one you've got with Emmett… I'm not with her just for sex- I confessed straight-faced.

-Me neither- she rebutted- but you're a snail, Jazz. You just kissed her on the corner of her lips… It's 'cause you're not so experienced, isn't it? If you want it, I can give you some advises and tell you about Emmett and me so—

-Stop it, Rose! I don't wanna hear about it, it's disgusting- I interrupted her- I don't think you remember I'm your brother, not your female best friend.

-I know, that's why I can talk about everything with you… 'cause you're my male best friend- she smiled.

-You too, but I'm not gonna tell you about my private life…

-You should!- she sentenced- changing the subject, I think you should pick Alice up from school…

-Yeah, you're right, but… what will you do?

-I'm going to meet Emmett- she confessed blushed and I smiled.

-I like Emmett, he's a good guy.

-and I like Alice, even though she's got dark secrets- she said while looking around, believing she was sounding 'mysterious'. We laughed, paid the coffees and walked around for a while.

When it was about two o'clock, we said goodbye. I arrived in the school and looked for a parking spot. I waited for Alice outside the school, but there was no sign of her. I am a very patient person, so I kept waiting for more time.

After half an hour, I went inside. I looked around but Alice was not there. Suddenly, I saw her running to me. Wait a minute…

Was her crying?

Yes, she was. She run to me and hugged me strongly. It caught me off base.

-What happened, Alice?- I asked her worried.

-I-it was…- she sobbed out.

-Who?- there I was impatient.

-Let's go, please.. I promise I'll tell you- I nodded and we both got into the car. She was calming down.

-Now, tell me… what happened?- I claimed. She sighed loudly.

-after the last class, I was walking to my locker- she spoke- when I suddenly felt like somebody pulled to me to the side and made me enter an empty classroom- her eyes filled in tears and she started crying. I parked the car at one side of the street. I looked at Alice, but she was still crying. I put my hand on her chin and made her look up. I dried her tears with my finger and she sighed- when I came back to reality, Mike was standing in front of me- she continued- I was so frightened… he told me I was a whore, and ordered me to stay away from you. What scared me a lot wasn't his threat, but…

-What?- I enquired.

-Promise me you'll take it easy- she claimed.

-I can't.

-Promise me!- she looked directly into my face.

-Okay, I promise it- Alice rolled up his white long-sleeved shirt and I was left breathless. Her right arm was red and I could notice some marks belonging to Newton's fingers.

-he grabbed me with force, that's why it's red- she explained pointing at her arm.

-He's an idiot- I barked out trying to calm down- did he let you go?

-No, I escaped. I kicked him… on his balls. He laid down on the floor and shouted to me 'you'll pay for this' while I was escaping. What is even worse is that my Gucci's are ruined- she pouted.

-I don't care about your shoes… I'm glad you're okay, but..

-but…?

-This is my fault- I spoke straight-faced while I started driving again.

-your fault?- she asked raising a brow- what're you talkin' about?

-are you kidding me? If I had gone to school today, this wouldn't have happened… I wouldn't have let Mike be close to you.

-It's not your fault, Jasper. This could have happened anytime! Don't feel guilty…

-But, I—

-Stop it!- she interrupted me- it's not your fault… okay?- I nodded, even though I was not convinced.

After a few days, Rosalie came back to England with my mother. I would miss her a lot; I would be in the United Stated for three months. But I wouldn't be the only one missing her: Emmett and Rosalie had spent all the time together and the relationship was getting serious. I could see it in their eyes every time they looked at each other.

It was a normal Friday, or that was I thought. I entered the school calmly; my class would start in ten minutes.

No sooner had I crossed the park that I saw Emmett running to me. He hugged me with force, which was really strange.

-Emmett, what the hell..?

-I missed you a lot, Jazzy- he answered me without releasing me from his embrace.

-We met yesterday, Emm- I spoke rolling my eyes.

-JASPER!- that was Edward shouting, while he came close to us.

-What's up, guys?- I wondered.

-We haven't classes, we can go- the model guy answered me, a bit nervously. They took me outside the school.

-What are you talking about? There're a lot people here…

-I know, but it's true! Teachers are on strike- the muscleman explained putting his big hand on my shoulder.

-What's going on, guys?- I got released from Emmett's hand and turned around again. Then, I saw it.

What the hell…?
