Stephenie Meyer/Tomoko Hayakawa disclaimers on the Twilight/YamaNada crossover.
Ugh. Hate school, but I can't seem to help that. I actually wouldn't mind going to boarding school apart from the fact that you have to live there. Hogwarts, would be awesome, apart from the fact I can't do magic. Review please?
Emmett, Edward, Jasper and Carlisle walked into school and as usual there were crowds of girls.
"Emmett!" a girl that Emmett had been all over yesterday ran up to Emmett. Emmett looked worried and accidently glared at her.
"He's angry with me?" the girl wept, tears being to form and fall. She ran away. Emmett held on to Jasper for support.
"I can't believe that a girl actually, ran away from me," Emmett said to Jasper. Jasper nodded.
"Do we really smell that bad?" Edward asked, sniffing himself. Their own faces told each other. They did stink.
Alice arrived at school.
"Jasper!" Alice shouted towards Jasper, she was coming closer to him. Jasper didn't want Alice to smell him, he was too embarrassed.
"Don't come near me," Jasper whispered. Alice heard him loud and clear.
Shit, Jasper thought, he tried to explain, but Alice's eyes were welling up. Jasper held up his hand in an attempt to explain. She ran away from Jasper sobbing to the surprise of all the rest of the girls.
"Alice is crying?" they speculated and they too left the boys alone, knowing that if even Alice wasn't welcomed in their tight knit group then no one else would be. Jasper held on to Emmett for support.
"I've never made a girl cry like that before," Jasper wailed to Emmett. Emmett wanted to tell Jasper he knew what Jasper felt like. Emmett and Jasper sat in the playground not wanting to go to their homeroom. Edward and Carlisle stood staring at their depressed figures. There was no cure for heart break.
--
"Should we burn it?" Carlisle asked them, after school and after they had changed out of their uniform.
"Along with the house?" Edward asked him, "Sure."
The doorbell rang ominously.
"Let's hope that it's not Auntie," Jasper muttered sadly as he shuffled towards the door. He opened it tentatively.
"Hi Alice," Jasper said awkwardly. Alice still had her uniform on, her eyes were red and her hands were clasped in front of her.
"I'm sorry for coming here without calling, but," Alice said timidly her eyes darting from Jasper to the ground, not wanting Jasper to reject her again, "I just wanted to know what I did wrong."
"ALICE!"
Carlisle, Jasper and Edward shot at Alice like bullets and began to drag her inside.
"I wasn't here to see you!" she screamed at them as they pulled her into the living room. Jasper chuckled and closed the door. He followed the chaos into the living room.
"We need you to help us clean," Edward told her rapidly.
"Clean?" Alice asked sceptically that the redness around her eyes disappeared for the slightest moment. Emmett and Carlisle gave her the 'yes its true' look.
"Where's Bella?" Alice asked them cynically.
"Bella's..."
"Depressed."
Carlisle pointed towards Bella's figure. Bella hadn't even bothered to change out of her pyjamas. She walked around the living room clutching a pumpkin, her hair was like a haystack, and she had large rings around her eyes. She had an aura of extreme darkness that made the boys cower every time they mentioned her name.
"We told her it was November and then she turned like that," Carlisle told Alice. Alice nodded.
"Come on, this is your chance to prove yourself to Jasper," Edward whispered into Alice's ear. Alice's eyes widened.
"I...I'll...do it!" Alice exclaimed hesitantly. She was handed an apron and Alice got to work immediately.
"Mom, how do you work an automatic washing machine?" Alice asked her mom on the phone. Edward, Jasper, Carlisle and Emmett sighed in exasperation. Alice snapped the phone shut and got the machine working. It suddenly broke down, after Carlisle fixed it the night before. Alice rolled her eyes and worked to her next task.
Alice tried to clean what was the remainder of dirty plates, the dishwasher was working and Alice tried to do an Emmett and clean the dishes whilst the dishwasher was working. She ended smashing the few plates she had to wash. Alice blushed violently as she brushed the broken plates up.
Alice was in the dining room and she cleaned the windows.
"This is the problem with cleaning a house so big," Alice sighed to herself. She didn't know that Jasper was stood directly behind her watching her efforts.
"It's so tiring all this cleaning," Alice said quietly to herself, but then smiled, "but if it's for Jasper then it's worth it."
Jasper blushed. He didn't realise that, she was doing it for him. He felt a sudden surge of guilt for making her cry that morning. He walked silently out of the room, shaking his head. Jasper walked past Bella, whom he didn't noticed because he was thinking about what Alice felt for him. He could feel the love emanating from Alice himself. He couldn't help feeling some sympathetic feelings for Alice. No, it was much deeper than that...
Alice scrubbed the bath.
"Ouch. I got soap in my eyes," Alice complained to herself as she continued to scrub hard at the mould in the bath.
"Why are you trying so hard?" Bella asked Alice, suddenly coming into the room. Alice didn't even turn to face her. Alice kept scrubbing at the bathtub.
"Because, if I make myself useful and work hard, Jasper might begin to like me," Alice replied. "Even though I know why, Jasper still told me not to go near him. At the time, I felt like crying my heart out, I felt like I would die. As long as Jasper still likes me, then it all this work is worth it. For Jasper, I'd do anything."
"This is my fault."
Alice stopped what she was doing and turned to face Bella.
"It's my own fault. I chose to do this. For Jasper. Bella, you don't realise how lucky you are. Jasper admits being your friend and jokes around with you, for me, I'm like other girls. I like him, admire him, but that's nothing compared to you. Somehow, I think he likes you more than me."
Alice put her sponge down.
"It's hard to stay on my good side all the time for Jasper." Alice sighed, "It's worth it in the end if he looks at me, even for the slightest second."
Bella was shocked. How could a dazzling creature like her even possibly think that Jasper would like Bella more than Alice? Alice obviously never listened to Jasper talk about Alice, with Bella. Bella was also shocked about what lengths she was willing to go for Jasper.
That must only be true love, Bella thought. Bella felt like Alice. For the guy she was in love in she was willing to shut herself away from the world, to become a recluse, to become exactly what he had called her. For the guy she loved, Bella would have done anything.
"You're a good person Bella," Alice told Bella truthfully. Bella was about to say something when Alice interrupted her, "You do all the cleaning and cooking all the time without complaining, even though it's extremely hard and tiring and there's plenty of other things you could be doing. I can't do anything at all."
Alice rubbed her eyes, getting more soap in her eyes. She used this as an opportunity to cry, Bella handed her a wet towel and she cleaned most of the soap out of her eyes.
"Take this," Bella said giving Alice her pumpkin, "Cheer up."
"Thank you?" Alice said in confusion. Bella walked out of the room. "But why a pumpkin?" Alice asked herself. Her mind comprehended something.
"We told her it was November and then she turned like that," Carlisle told Alice.
Alice smiled evilly.
