Chapter 3:
Alice's POV:
"See Bella, it's beautiful on you! I knew that dress would fit perfectly on you!" I said to my future-sister-in-law. "Do you like it?"
I was at Bella's house with Charlie's suit and Bella's wedding dress for the final fitting. I didn't doubt that they didn't fit (I had a gift for shopping and clothes fitting) Charlie just wanted to see Bella in her wedding dress before the day of, and he had a right . He was giving his only daughter away to a pack of vampires, but he didn't know that.
"AAHH, Alice it's gorgeous! I couldn't have pictured it better, well actually I did, but it still is beautiful!" Bella said with plenty of emotion. Humans always had a way with emotion. They either over reacted like Bella was doing now, not her normal but happened occasionally, or they under react, Bella's normal self.
"Bella you're more…" I didn't get to finish, I was having a "vision" again. The future was changing. But what? The Volturi? Had they reached a decision yet? But it wasn't the Volturi. It was the wedding. Something about the wedding. Someone was changing their mind. But which one? I could see flashes of the wedding, then the next minute it was gone. Werewolves were going to be in the wedding. One from our party was inviting something from their party to come to the wedding party. Who could it be? Bella?
"BELLA! How could you!" I hadn't meant to say it out and I automatically saw here face turn from happy emotion to a startled look.
"What did I do?" she was just as shocked as I was that I broke the happy vibe. Where was Jasper when you actually needed him, but he was probably doing something not so smart with is extra ability, he did it every time they were 'male bonding'. Being all macho with each other. Carlisle was probably egging them on.
"Sorry Bella, I just saw something….then I didn't……about the wedding. Were you planning on inviting or having any wolf boys at the wedding?" I asked slowly and suspiciously as I walked over to sit on her bed and stare her down
"They will be at the wedding, but you knew that before," Bella reminded me, "I wasn't going to have any actually in the wedding." She crossed her arms over her chest and I cringed. I didn't want her to ruin the vintage lace on dress. I worked so hard to find it.
"Who else could it be then?" I asked mostly to myself. "I thought it was you, sorry I just assumed it was you, but who could it have been?" I must have said that way too fast for her to catch it all because she just stood there arms still crossed staring at me.
"We should get to the house. Hurry Bella, get out of the dress and I'll go check on Charlie. We will go and check on how the guys tuxes fit." I said as I started out of Bella's room.
As I was going down the hall I realized I was going faster then a normal human and had to slow down. When I got down the stairs Charlie was waiting on the old couch watching something loud on television like a game with his suit neatly put back in the bag and folded over the torn arm of the couch. He looked up when I made my foot steps audible for humans.
"Is Bella coming down soon? I want to see the dress on her." Charlie said with a hint of emotion.
"I'm so, so sorry Charlie, but," I put on my sweetest voice possible, " we are having a little problem over at the house and we have to fix it as soon as possible. We need Bella there and she's already changed out of her dress. I can drive Bella over and I'll leave the dress here so when I drop her of she can show you." I added the last part since Charlie should see Bella in her dress before the day of. I walked over to the chair to wait for Bella to come down in four seconds and counting.
Just then Bella comes down the stairs carrying a garment bag. "Leave that in your room. You can show Charlie when we get back." I said quickly standing up before Charlie could say anything.
"Sure Alice," Bella replied with a puzzled look and ran clumsily upstairs.
"What's the problem Alice?" Charlie finally spoke puzzled.
"Emmett's tux is too short and isn't big enough and Jasper's is too long and too big." I was edging toward the door because I heard Bella coming down the stairs, "They might have the wrong ones considering that it's just the jacket. Also, there are also final reservations to double check." I can't believe I came up with such good lie, but my mind does work faster then the average human you know.
"Oh, Okay, have fun then." Charlie said looking back to the television. Bella said good bye and we walked outside to where Edward's silver Volvo was waiting.
"Too bad I can't drive the Porsche around Forks. I love that car. So does Jasper. Sometimes he will just be out there staring at it." I paused for a minute to get in the car, then continued. "I don't know what's he's thinking. I guess if I wanted to know I could just go get Edward, but that would take all of the fun out of it."
"Take all of the fun out of what?" Bella asked looking up at me as I pulled out in front of her house.
"Wondering what he's thinking. He always fascinates me with everything he does. No matter what it is. It always fascinates me." I ended with a sigh.
"And you've been together for a long time right?"
"For a human, yes." I said with a laugh.
"What fascinates you?" She was curious I could tell. Most people are curious about Jasper and my relationship.
"Just Jasper being himself. Our relationship is private, and we like it that way, but Bella I want to tell you something, just don't tell Jasper I told you this. Jasper means the world to me and he always will.
"But what most people don't know about him is that he feels horrible about what he did when he was turned. Even though he didn't know what he was doing he still feels bad. If he could take it back he would, no matter what the cost. He doesn't want you to feel guilty about killing someone when you are a newborn." It takes a lot to make a vampire emotional and Jasper is what does it for me. I stared out of the window, looking at the rainy road as I spoke the rest.
"He already thinks of you as a sister and so do I. To Jasper that's saying a lot since he's not very trusting of others and himself, especially around humans.
"But the point I'm finally making is that you and Edward have a special relationship. It is more like Jasper and mine then you might think. Yes, you do show affection in public, but you also have secrets that you keep. And you will become even more private after you change." I was almost finished, but we were pulled up in front of the house already and I couldn't wait to see my Jasper.
I turned to look at Bella for this part. We were actually having a heart to heart (no pun intended) talk. "If your relationship is as strong as I see it is, you and Edward will have a special bond that no one can break. It's kind of like a sixth sense if you will, seventh for me. You will know what each other's feeling and rough ideas about thoughts. I hope you are happy Bella, I really do." I finally finished and I reached for her hand because she was going to start crying pretty soon.
"I am and always will be Alice. I have all of you to help keep me in line, and I am thankful for that." She was crying, what a human emotion, but I leaned over and gave her a hug.
"Dry off those tears. Edward can't see you like this. Come on our men are waiting." I said cheerfully.
Just as I was getting out of the car I "saw" Bella was going to trip over her foot while walking a total of ten feet. I was going to warn her, but if I didn't Edward wouldn't have come out to help her and end up carrying her in. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Edward will be mad because he wanted Bella to be "totally and utterly safe", but what's a few scratches when she would end up in Edward's arms? Emmett has been dying to see "stupid human mistakes made by an accident prone human" anyway.
Plus, I couldn't wait to see the most important thing in my world, Jasper.
