Bella
Time flew by quicker than I had gotten used to while I talked to Alice. All the memories had hit her instantaneously, causing her to black out for a moment but when she came back, she threw her arms around me and began to cry tearless sobs. I felt horrible for giving it all to her in one blow, but I still needed to get that in control. All I could do was sob right next to her. She cried out of pity and I cried out of joy that she was here. But I couldn't bare to see her like that, so to please her, I pulled her up to my bedroom so that she could play with my clothes. She chose what I would wear today for school. She even gave me props for the better closet. Apparently, I fill it out better now than I did 98 years ago. That one hurt a bit, but at least she was smiling again. She messed with my hair, put so much make up on me that I felt like a clown and got me to walk down the hall in every outfit that was in that closet. And now there's only half an hour until I see him.
I can't help but wonder what he'll say or do. Will he ignore me? Will he even see me there? Will he actually say anything? I simply don't know, and when I try to answer one question, another and another pop up almost instantaneously. I'm sitting in my new car, it's a jaguar, but if you ask me what kind, I'll stop the car in the middle of the road to check the branding, so don't. I'm right in front of Forks High, now 25 minutes until I can officially run in before the Cullens arrive. The parking spaces are still the same, no new ones, and the school has been remodeled, due to aging. There are now six buildings that are each different sections of the school, and in building 5, there's a class. It's a geology class. Edward Cullen and Emmett Cullen will be in that class at 11:45 a.m. So will Bella Swan.
I wonder if we'll even run into each other on our way to our other classes or if our first encounter will be in geology. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to think or do. I don't even know what to know. But Alice wouldn't let me back down. I don't think she truly grasps that he wants nothing to do with me. Not then, not now, not ever.
Edward
I pulled the white turtleneck over my torso just as Jasper came into my room. I glanced at him as I pulled my socks on quickly. I began to tie my shoe laces as he spoke.
"Alice has a point, Edward. You really should be careful tomorrow." Jasper warned, knowingly. I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Would you mind giving me a hint?" I teased.
He sat upright, his demeanor becoming entirely serious. "They don't want me to. I think this is the least I can do for her, after ruining her life." He mumbled. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Who is this other person? And since when does Jasper ruin lives? On the contrary, he usually makes them better.
"But then again, in ruining hers, I guess I ruined yours too. That's why I'm here." He said as he stood. I looked up at him.
"If you can't figure it out with that, at least I can say I tried." He added.
Bella. He didn't even have to say it. Ever since I left her, Jasper had been carrying guilt for separating us, even though I told him that I would have done it sooner or later anyway. He's always felt that he was at fault for my suffering, and when we all thought she was alive; he thought he ruined her too. But he's speaking of her in present tense. My body went numb with realization. She wasn't dead. Not now. Not ever. I looked up at him again, but he had already gone. There was only 5 minutes until school started, but it would only take me seconds to get there. I was only seconds away from the most important part of my life.
I was already only two buildings away from the High School territory when I stopped.
"Oh, God." I choked. She's not dead. Only now did it hit me that it's been a century…and she's not yet dead. And she's at a high school; the farthest thing from extensive care for a very old woman. She's alive and young. But she was supposed to be dead at 18. My forehead began to throb as I walked slowly towards the school. There was a black jaguar already parked. It was the only one that stood out, since the others belonged to the teachers. Alice wasn't here yet, or she would have stopped here with everyone else. Was that…I tried to see in through the dark shaded windows, but all I saw was a muggy figure. That's when I realized it was already raining. I was surprised to suddenly feel the wetness of my soaked jeans and blouse. My hair was in tangles and I couldn't have cared less. I ran to the jaguar, only to find that the figure I'd seen was a white jacket that I knew the owner would be sorry to have left. As I laughed darkly in my own misery, I heard the splashing of footsteps. I heard the fall and the squeal of the voice that came with it. A voice I thought I'd never get to hear again.
