Alice's POV
It took at least ten minutes to get to the airport from where we lived on the outskirts of Forks. But I wanted to be there when they arrived. Since it was just about to turn 5:25 (a.m of course) I knew none of the cops in town would be awake yet. Seeming as I wanted to see my best friend and Jasper I almost tripled every speed limit in town.
I took out my iPod and set it on shuffle. Skyway Avenue, by We The Kings started to play. Only the best song ever, and also the cutest love song, and strangely enough, it was how I was feeling at the moment.
She said lets change our luck
This night is all we've got
Drive fast until we crash
This dead end life
Sweet dreams that wont come true
I'd leave it all for you
Brick walls are closing in
Lets make, a run tonight
Blinded
By the lights, hold you through forever, won't let you go
Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together From the buildings ledge
Never looking back at what we've done,
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue
She said don't change your mind,
Lets leave this town behind
We'll race right off the cliff they will, remember this
It all got so mundane with you I'm back again
Just take me by the hand, we're close to the edge
Blinded,
By the lights, hold you through forever won't let you go
Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the buildings ledge
Never looking back at what we've done,
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue
Where are you guts to fly
Soaring through, through the night
And if you, take that last step I'll follow you,
Leave the edge and fly we're finally alive
Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the buildings ledge
Never looking back at what we've done,
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you on Skyway Avenue
So whats left to prove
We have made it, through.
By the time the song ended, I was pulling into a parking space, with Emmett's jeep to my left, and Carlisles Mercedes to my right. I quickly took out the ear-phones and shoved my iPod in my handbag.
Once we got inside the airport, I decided that they wouldn't be here for a while, since it was only 5:30, so I went to grab Esme, Carlisle and Emmett a coffee.
It took 20 minutes to get the coffee and bring it back. So when I got back, I could see Esme and Lillian hugging and gushing about how much they have each changed, which wasn't very much.
Standing behind them, alone, was Jasper. His icy blue eyes were hurt, and depressed. I felt a sudden wave of anger wash over me. This jerk ignored me for a whole freaking year! Seeming as Jasper could feel other peoples emotions, he turned to see where the strong wave of emotion was coming from. As soon as he laid eyes on me, he smiled. What a jerk. I could feel my face twist with the rage I felt towards him. Suddenly something clicked in his head, and his expression turned into one of hurt, and pleading. I glared, and stomped over to where the others were standing.
It took about thirty seconds for me to get there, but my anger increased with every step I took. I gave them their coffee's and sat on a banch far away from the rest of them.
I heard footsteps coming towards me, but I didn't bother to move. I felt the warmth of someones presence, so I looked up to see who was interrupting my sulking. Of course. The only person I didn't want to see. I glared at Jasper and looked the other way. I know that it was childish, but when your best friend ignores you for a year, you kinda really don't care.
"Look, Alice. I'm really sorry. I know that what I did was wrong, but I just didn't know what to do. I figured that if I tried to ignore you then I would forget you. But as hard as I tried to forget you, I really didn't want you to go away, so I tried to forget and remember at the same time," Jasper pleaded with me. "Alice, I love you. There I said it. I really am sorry for being so childish. But I really do love you-" He said but I stopped him.
I cut him off by sticking my fingers in my ears and saying "La la la!" loudly, but so that only he could see it.
I saw Jasper sigh from next to me and stop talking. I took my fingers out of my ears and stood to go greet Rosalie properly. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Jasper look down, his eyes tearing up.
"I love you Alice Cullen," Jasper whispered, glancing at me sideways. I could see the tears spill out of his eyes and roll down his cheeks. I walked over to Rosalie, and smiled brightly, it didn't feel right. There was a piece of me missing, and I know where it is, its back at the bench. With Jasper. My smile fell as I realised this. Jasper needed me, and I was just pushing him away. I hate myself for being so stupid, but he deserves this.
Instead of being depressed, I was glad that my best friends had come back.
As I approached Rosalie, she squealed and jumped up and down, clapping her hands like a little kid on Christmas. Huh, thinking of Christmas, it was only about a month away.
"ALICE!" Rosalie squealed, smiling so big, it looked like her face might split.
"ROSIE!" I rejoiced jumping up and down. We started to catch up, since we haven't seen each other for a year. I heard someone running towards us and turned to see who it was. It was so like Edward to be the last one here. He took one look at me before shaking his head and turning towards Jasper. Edwards expression was helpless, so I turned to see what made him feel like that. Sitting on the benches was Jasper, he was curled into a tight ball rocking back and forth, his face tear stained. The look in his eyes made my heart shatter, it was mixed between hurt, depression, rejection and most of all love. Jasper was hurting because of me, he was depressed because of me, he felt rejected because of me. But he still loved me.
Rosalie noticed my heart broken expression as she watched me stare at her brother. She began lead me over to a small cafe that was on the other side of the airport.
"Rose, where are we going?" I asked just a little confused.
"Cafe, we need to talk... about Jasper."
I sighed, I really didn't want to know how much I've hurt him, but I needed to know how much damage I have made.
We settled in a booth in the far corner, and waved the waitress away when she came to take our orders.
"I know that you probably don't want to know how depressed Jasper was, but I really think you should know, and consider forgiving him," She started. I was already regretting this talk just by the tone of her voice, it was like she was begging me to give Jasper a chance. But then again, she probably was. Rose was waiting for an answer so I merely nodded.
"Lets go from the start. When we left, Jasper was sitting up until 2am, I didn't know what was wrong with him. When you called me, I didn't know why you would want to speak with him, at such a late hour, thats when I walked in his room, and saw..." Her voice trailing off, her eyes glassing over. "thats when I saw the blood, all over his arms and chest. There were marks from a blade, a blade that was still in his hand covered in blood. He went into a deep depression. Six months later he got a girlfriend, even though he still loved you, he was trying to be happy, for our parents. His girlfriend's name was Maria. One night, he turned off his phone, went into his bathroom and started to cut. I only know that he turned off his phone, because I saw it on the floor, turned off. Dad found him in the the bathroom, and took him to the hospital. When he woke up, he looked diapointed. He was hoping that you would be there. Maria was getting on his nerves so he said that he was going to get a glass of water," she took a deep breath before continuing, seeming as she was talking too fast.
"He told checked his messages while he was out of the room and saw one from Emmett, saying 'Jazz, Didn't think she'd be so stupid as to not listen to Rosie's warning. Sorry bro.-Em' So then he started yelling at me, and then he said your name, and Maria got angry. She said that you were probably just some little skank that has him wrapped around your little finger, and that made Jasper's protective side go up. He said, and I quote 'She's an angel, and when I compare her to you, she's a hell of a lot more angelic.' Then he broke up with Maria to be with you, and we came back." she explained, panting from talking so fast. I just stared, my mouth hanging open. Grr, I hate Maria.
"Thanks for telling me Rose. But it still doesn't change the fact that he ignored me for a whole year! I thought he was dead after a month." I explained, frustrated. She sighed and we stood, to get back to our families.
"I just hope you forgive him soon. Hes basically dying inside!" She exclaimed, her tone guilty.
When we got back to where they were waiting, I could see that Bella was now sitting with Edward and Jasper, trying to cheer him up, although he wasn't crying anymore.
I sighed and walked over to Jasper.
"Jasper. Can I talk to you?" I asked, hopefully I could explain.
He sighed, and half smiled.
"Sure Alice," he seemed to wince at my name. Wow I didn't know I hurt him that much.
We sat at another bench about 20 metres away from the other one.
"Okay, I'm really sorry Jazz, but you were being a jerk! I thought that you were dead, for crying out loud! And after you ignored me for a whole year, you thought I was going to run back into your arms?" I questioned, raising my eye brow.
"No, I didn't think you would. I hoped you would!" he nearly yelled, his tone angered. Okay, he was getting angry at the truth?!
"Well, I came here to talk to you so that we could sort it out! But I guess thats not happening now is it? You ruined my apology!" I retorted, rather loudly.
"You know what Alice?! I don't care anymore!" he grunted. He didn't care?!
"Y-y-you don't care about me?" I whispered, brokenly.
"No!" he shouted, his tone enraged.
That was the one little word that officially crumbled my heart. Jasper, did not care about me? He hated me. Tears sprung in my eyes and spilled over.
"Alice. I didn't mean it like that." Jasper whispered, coming closer.
I didn't listen to the rest of the sentence, I just ran in the direction of the parking lot.
