Stimulus: Forever
POV: Alice
Dedication: Becky. Keep it up, hun.
AN: Ugh, this is so cheesy! I hate this one, but I couldn't think of anything better… I need inspiration, Peeps!
Edward stared up at the sign, increasing frustration on his tired face. He was trying to discover which way Victoria had gone by… staring?
She's in South Africa, Edward, I willed the knowledge to him with desperation. Follow her there!
"Alice?" a voice inquired. I hastily pulled out of my daydreams and turned to face the speaker. It was Jazz, and a stern look was on his face.
"You were looking for him, weren't you?"
I opened my mouth to offer various other explanations, but decided not to bother. I nodded. "Yes. He's in Vancouver, and—"
"I don't want to know, Alice."
I frowned. "Why?"
He turned away to speak, but I knew what he was going to say before he even opened his mouth.
"It wasn't your fault, Jasper."
His voice was bitter and cold, but I didn't take offence: all the hate in it was directed at himself. "Really? Edward thought so."
"Hey." I grabbed him and turned him around. "Look at me. I said, look at me. That's better. Now, I don't want you to worry about Edward tonight. Tonight, all that matters is you and I. Forever."
A small smile graced his full lips. "Forever."
And then I sealed the deal with a short kiss.
