What happened in Chapter 5?
I heard a voice whispering in the back of my head.
"She's not even worth it."
I agreed with that. I jumped towards her, growled loud then turned around and ran away, deeper in the dark woods leaving the center of my world behind me.
Chapter six:
Jacob's POV:
I felt the blood running through my veins, the adrenaline causing the fact that kept running faster and faster… I felt the inner wolf taking over my body, my existence. This was gonna be the life I had chosen. I decided to never turn back to my family, to my brothers, to my home, to her.
Alice's POV:
So, that was it, he left. He just left, not even looking back. I understood that he was angry, disappointed, sad but I never planned on this. I didn't notice that it was getting later, I just sat there on the ground, in the middle of the forest.
Five hours passed and I did nothing than just sitting and staring. Staring at the spot between the trees where.. he left. Another hour passed and in all of the sudden I smelled something, or someone, I smelled before. I recognized it's sent and I was a bit curious, but my head nor my eyes wouldn't move, like I was afraid he would come back without me noticing it. After a few second I felt two, warm arms embrace my body. Well, warm wasn't really the right description, they where unbelievably hot, burning like flames between my ice cold skin.
Jacob.
It was the first thought running through my head. The spot I was staring at wasn't important anymore and I turned my head away to look at his beautiful face.
"Alice…" he whispered.
I sighed. Ofcourse it wasn't Jacob. Jacob wasn't coming back.
"Hi Seth."
"Alice, what are you doing here? Where is...?"
I explained to Seth what had happened, without telling the details or saying his name.
"Come on Alice, let me take you home." He said and tried to lift me off the ground. I got nervous. Going home? Over my… well, death body! He kept trying and I kept fighting between the burning arms, kept screaming that I would wait for him, but I was tired. It wasn't like my body was tired, but I mentally died inside. That's it. It was like I experienced the feeling of dying, of having something like a nightmare. My spirit was gone and I fell back, trying to cry out my unshed tears, just to show some emotions. Nothing. Nothing but shaking like a puppy in the snow without it's fur. Even worse. I crawled up into Seth's arms while he tried to calm me down, whispering in my ears. "Shhh. It's ok. Everything will be alright again. I promise, everything will be alright."
When we came home the burning arms got replaced by arms who had the perfect, same temperature as my skin. Jasper's arms. He softly whispered a thank you to Seth and took me to the living room. Another pair of arms around my neck.
"Oh sweetie, I'm glad you're back!"
I tried to smile at Esmé, tried to smile at the rest of my family but I couldn't get the pain out of my eyes.
The following days passed very slow and my family, especially Jasper, did everything they could do to make me forget about Jacob and see me happy again. I was spending all my time hunting with the others, doing some human activities like watching tv and kind of stuff with Jasper, going to school with my siblings or hanging out with slash babysitting on Bella whenever she wasn't with Edward. Sometimes Bella tried to say something about him, or let me know that I could talk about what happened whenever I wanted, but I ignored the signs and changed the subjects every single time.
It was an ordinary Saturday morning, Edward was hunting with Emmett and Jasper and I was at Bella's house. I talked a bit with Charlie before he left and again he looked at me with that 'Charlie look' and said: "you know Alice, if there's something wrong… you're always welcome, remember?" and like I did every time, I nodded and said: "I know Charlie, and I'm really thankful for that. Now go catch some fishes!" so he stroked my hair, walked to the stairs and yelled: "Bells, I'm leaving." She ran off the stairs, kissed his cheek and said: "Have fun dad." It went always the same, every time I was at their house, Charlie looked at me with that same worried look. This was supposed to be an ordinary day, when I noticed the same worried look in Bella's eyes. Not even a second later a had a vision, another almost-second later it happened. Bella cleared her throat, "Alice, we need to talk."
I could have known she would bring it up someday, and today was the day. I didn't want to run away from it any longer, but I wasn't ready to talk about it either.
"I know that things aren't going well, I can see the pain behind your smile. The reason why behind your lies to Jasper, to Charlie, to me… and ofcourse, I'm not mad at you, because I've been through it too. The love of MY life left me too once, remember?"
my memories got back to that day, the day I looked into a pair of deep, brown eyes and felt so different, so alive. Not wanting to show my feelings, I said:
"Love of my life? I don't know what you're talking about, Bella. Jasper is the love of my life. He is just some guy who thought he could ruin my life. Who left me because I didn't want to play in his story about magically being each other's soul mates."
"Oh come on Alice, stop lying to me and to yourself. It's so clear, how you don't wanna say his name because it hurts you too much. How you're always looking at the woods like you're expecting him to come back all of the sudden. How you're calling Seth every evening for only five minutes, just to hear if there is some 'pack news'."
Before I could answer, she continued:
"I know what you're going through and let me tell you something; He was and will always be my best friend, I miss him too but to me, it's not the same as when Edward left. But I can see what kind of impact is has on you, and I know how you feel right now… as if someone took away your other half."
Everything she said was so true, it was like she read my mind or something. Not like Edward did, but like she could sense my feelings. It was all true. I didn't want to say of hear his name, I called Seth everyday to ask if he had heard something from him, and every time I was near the woods I stared at the trees, hoping to see the massive, russet brown wolf coming back. My massive, russet brown wolf.
"It's ok Alice, I'll stop. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, I'm sorry… I just…"
I kissed her cheek. "No Bella, I know you are trying to help me. Thank you. Let's forget about it… So, what do you want to do today?"
She smiled. "I don't know.. what did you had in mind?"
My eyes brightened.
"Do you really want to know?"
"yup."
"are you sure you're gonna let me choose?"
"pretty sure."
"Ok then, let's go SHOPPING!"
"But… I don't need new clothes… and I'm sure you don't need new clothes either."
"Shh!" I said. "you let me choose so this is what we're gonna do today!"
"Fine, but NO more dresses."
Yeah, she wishes.
One afternoon, two dresses, much more clothes and too many shops to count later we were sitting in the living room of my house with Esmé and Rosalie. The boys were still hunting and Carlisle was at work. We were back at the right time because the second after I closed the door behind us, it started raining. Of course, I had seen it coming so there was no coincidence at all. The only thing I did not saw coming was Rosalie's comment when she walked down the stairs. "Oh hey look, it's raining again. I love it how you can't even walk outside without your hair getting ruined and getting attacked by the awful smell of wet dogs and stuff." The whole day it went so well, but I immediately thought of him. Bella quickly changed the subject before Rosalie could go on about how much she loves the rain. "Come on, let's show Esmé what we bought." She said and pulled me towards the door. We had bought so many clothes that the doors of my Porsche almost didn't close, but ofcourse Esmé liked them all very much.
The boys came home and it was around dinner time when Edward decided that it was time to drive Bella back home. Rosalie and Emmett went upstairs to do… whatever they're doing in their room and Jasper and I got to our room to.
"So, did you had fun today?" he asked.
"Sure, bought some new clothes. What about you?"
"Had a great time."
We looked each other in the eyes and I knew that he knew there was something wrong. That made me hate myself even more because he didn't deserve it. I kissed him, laid my head on his chest.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you too." I replied, and I knew I was speaking the truth. This was it, what I wanted. We didn't had to speak out our feelings, we had always been together and we loved each other and that was enough for me. I decided to not spend any moment in my existence thinking or even talking about Jacob Black every again.
I pressed my lips between his chest and whispered: "I love you." again.
I was at Bella's house, fitting clothes and doing our hair and make-up because it was a special day. Graduation day. Everything went by in a rush and before I knew I was standing with my diploma, wondering how many times I graduated. The only thing I was looking forward to was the graduation party I organized for tonight. We were planning the last things when I called Seth.
"Hey Alice, long time ago! How are you?" he was right, I had decided that I wouldn't think about Jacob, so I hadn't called Seth a while. Such a shame because it's such a good kid.
"Sorry I didn't call.. I'm fine, what about you?"
"It's ok! I'm good. So, are you calling for… you know…"
"No, no… actually I was wondering if you want to come to our graduation party tonight, at my house."
"Almost forgot, congrats, to all of you! I'd love to come."
"Thanks Seth. Ok, see you tonight then."
"yup, see you tonight. Bye!"
I was dressing up when I had a vision of Bella wearing something so totally last week so I grabbed some new bought stuff and drove to her house.
"Did you honestly thought I would let you wear something like that?!" I muttered when she opened the door.
"Oh hi Alice, good to see you. I was just about to call you to ask what I should wear tonight." She answered sarcastically.
"Bella, Bella, Bella… just put this on, quick, and thank me later. You can drive with me."
We drove back to my house and a few minutes later the first few people arrived. We didn't even finish greeting them when more people came in. just like I had seen, half an hour later everyone was dancing, talking or just enjoying the party in his or her own way. I went upstairs to hang up someone's jacket. When I walked down the stairs I had another vision. Bella was talking with Seth but as soon as she saw me, she rushed to me and asked me what I saw. She knew exactly what my vision was about, there was only one thing that could make me look worried at this moment. Strange things were happening the last days and we knew that sooner or later the Volturi would step in.
The next moment we were sitting in the other room while the others were still partying. it was all so clear. Someone had created an army and they were getting closer and closer to us, with a reason. "Whatever happens, they will never get you, do you hear me?" I heard Edward talking to Bella, who was kind of in shock. The army was looking for her, we didn't knew why nor who created them, but it was pretty sure they wanted her. Seth was with two others of his pack, and they decided to join us. Of course, Bella was against the plan. She underestimated but I knew how strong and fast they were, at least I knew how strong and fast he was… No, stop. "The newborns don't even know that they exist." Jasper explained to Bella. "Bella, love." Edward said. "Jasper's right. They have no idea that wolfs exist. This will be an easy fight, don't worry." Carlisle and Seth arranged something so Jasper could show us and the other wolfs all the techniques how to fight the newborns.
We went to some place in the woods and Jasper started talking to us and the wolfs. I couldn't really concentrate 'cause I kept staring at the trees. This place wasn't far away from the place he left me. I felt Edward's hand on my shoulder. "Try not to think about it too much Alice, concentrate on the fight." He whispered. He was right. I promised myself not to think about him ever again. We practiced about one hour and then we went to home again. Jasper told us how the newborns thought, moved and fought so it wasn't really hard for us to win.
That night, weird things happened. I tried to concentrate, look into the future, but every time I tried, something stood in my way. It was like there was a storm and I had a bad connection on a phone or so. I tried my best but the only things I saw was us fighting against the newborns in a kind of meadow in the woods. I saw myself with a big, huge, MASSIVE newborn vampire, and then nothing. However I tried, it was just me with that newborn and then nothing, everything just disappeared. It was like something wasn't really planned yet. Or someone hadn't decide yet. Someone who would let my future disappear.
If someone I couldn't see, would come into my life at that moment. I wouldn't see him coming.
I can't see the wolfs but they had already decide that they would be there. There must be one, person, who was not sure if he would be there or not.
I gasped. Could it be true? Was he coming back into my life?
A/N: I hate it, I hate the ending. I'm sorry but it's quite late and I have school stuff to do, and I know the ending is really bad but I'm gonna try to make the next chapter better! And of course I'm gonna try to upload soon, which I can't promise, but yeah. Hope you liked it anywaysss and I see you next time! xo
