Chapter 9: Just One More Day.

It was 3 AM

When you woke me up

And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go

Just to get away

We talked about our lives

Until the sun came out

And now I'm thinking about

How I wish I could go back

Just for one more day

One more day with you

Two weeks. I tossed the ball at my ceiling making a whapping sound before coming back to my hand. No call. I tossed the ball again, no text, I caught the ball. A dozen blue roses in a very expensive vase with a note that was signed starburst attached, that Bella told me her cousin sent. I would've trashed them, but my hand wouldn't let me. I tossed the ball harder, making a louder WHAP before coming down a little fast and stinging my hand a little more.

Everytime I see your face

Everytime you look my way

It's like it all falls into place

Everything feels right

Ever since you walked away

It left my life in disarray

All I want is one more day

It's all I need

Is one more day with you

When the car broke down

We just kept walking along

'Till we hit this town

There was nothing there at all

But that was all ok

He had fucking kissed me, such a sweet, tender kiss. A kiss that meant everything and nothing at all obviously. In public. Fuck. I tossed the ball harder, I wrote a song about it, Ed said it was good and I sang it at the last open mic night. Jasper didn't show up. I caught the ball it made my hand sting. Rose and Bella did, they both complimented me.

We spent all our money

On stupid things

But if I look back now

I'd probably give it all away

Just for one more day

One more day with you

Rose and I started to say hi to each other at school. I went to school with her and didn't even know it. I tossed the ball back up a little softer than before, she was kind of vain, but she kept my mind occupied so I liked talking to her. I caught the ball.

Everytime I see your face

Everytime you look my way

It's like it all falls into place

Everything feels right

Ever since you walked away

It left my life in disarray

All I want is one more day

It's all I need

School. I talked to the same people I usually did, a few of them told me I seemed a little depressed. I would try and smile for those people, why the fuck was this hurting so much. Oh right because I'm a fucktard who falls in love too fast. I got invited to a Seether concert, I accepted. I got two tickets one for me and one for Bella. Jasper likes Seether. Fuck Alice don't go there. I thought.

Is one more day with you

Now I'm sitting here

Like we used to do

I think about my life

And now there's nothing I won't do

Just for one more day

One more day with you

I tossed the ball off the side of my bed, I heard it thump and roll away somewhere. I would find it when I needed it again.

Everytime I see your face

Everytime you look my way

It's like it all falls into place

Everything feels right

Everytime I hear your name

Everytime I feel the same

It's like it all falls into place

Everything, everything feels right

All I could say was thank god for Bella. She made things bearable for me. She spent time with me and tried to keep my mind away from her "shithead cousin". She would tell me things about his paternity case, keeping me up to date. Things were going his way. There was some things in his past that Maria brought up, but Jasper's lawyer was doing his best to show who the better parent would be in current events.

You walked away

Just one more day

It's all I need

Is one more day with you

I heard the song change. Seriously lay off the Simple Plan when your in a funk Alice, I thought to myself. The lyrics floated out to me,

I hate feeling like this

I'm so tired of trying to fight this…

"You know this is a Christian rock band Alice?" Jasper's voice called from my memories.

"You're ruining the song for me." I retorted in my memory. He laughed and rolled on top of me effectively pinning me under him. Kissing my neck again. Stop! I thought fighting the memory as it made my stomach clench. Maybe it would help if you got your lazy ass up and got ready for dinner tonight instead of lying here thinking about Jasper, my mind spat at me.

I got into the shower and scrubbed my body till it turned red. My usual routine since Jasper and I…broke up or whatever. I tried to wash the memory of Jasper's hands all over my body. The feel of them. I never got lucky with that, because sure enough I could still feel him. I thought it would lessen as time went on, boy was I wrong. Instead, it seemed to get more noticeable. It was driving me slowly insane.

I felt better when Jasper was around, it was the last time I somewhat felt ok. His eyes locked onto mine, trying to tell me something. I hadn't quite wrapped my mind around it, was he trying to tell me that he was being a man about things? Ugh. That was frustrating.

How about you stop thinking about it, I thought as I picked my clothes out of my closet. A blue shirt that showed of my shoulders, my black skinny jeans and a pair of stiletto boots. Subtle sexiness, I thought. I curled my hair out and mussed it a little for sexy hair and admired myself in the mirror. Who the hell are you getting all dressed up for? My mind asked. I knew that Jasper wasn't going to be at dinner tonight, I was going to be the 5th wheel. Rose was bring the bouncer from Sue's Emmett to dinner, and Edward and Bella were going to be there of course.

I walked out of my room to help with the steaks that Edward was making on the grill on the patio.

"Hey Double D, you need any help?" He smiled at me and sipped his beer.

"No, you look lovely though baby sister. " I smiled back he had been feeding me compliments lately. I guess his way of making me feel better about myself. "Hey if you want you can prepare the veggies and put them in the steamer."

"What veggies are we having?"

"Summer squash and broccoli." I almost jumped out of my skin that was my favorite. I half felt like my brother was trying to butter me up, not his girlfriend. "And if you could put the potatoes in the oven." Yummy. Baked potatoes.

I went to the kitchen and put the potatoes in the oven first, making sure to carefully wrap them in aluminum foil first. Then I got to chopping the summer squash and put it in the steamer first. I knew it was an acquired taste and you either liked it or you didn't so I put it in a separate dish from the broccoli once it was steamed.

Edward came in and set the dish of steaks in the warming drawer just as we heard a knock on the door. Edward looked at me and gave me an apologetic smile. "Whatever happens tonight. Try to remember I love you." I nodded confused as to what he meant by that and followed him to the door.

I stood to the side as my brother opened the condo door and was immediately hugged by Bella. I hugged back happy to see her again. Then I saw Emmett, taking up much of the doorframe by his large size and on his arm, Rosalie, who gave me a small half hug. That's when my eyes were met with a pair of sharp blue-green ones. Fuck. I heard my brother clear his throat to the side of me and smile apologetically again. You fucking knew! Bastard!

"So come here often?" He chuckled, he sounded nervous, shoving his hands into his dress pants pockets and looking down a little. I rolled my eyes at him and turned on a heel, crossed my arms and marched into the living room. I sat on the couch and chewed on my lip, feeling like the spoiled child I knew I was acting like. Maybe I could just ignore him, act like he wasn't even here.

Bella came in first and sat next to me as if oblivious to my actions in the foyer. I smiled at her as she talked about the concert we were going to go to next week. She was obviously trying to get my mind off things and put me in better spirits. I would pretend for her.

Edward stuck his head in "Hey, Ali? Would you like to help me in the kitchen?" Knowing that was my brother's nice way of saying come do it you actually don't have a choice I nodded my consent and walked out of the living room with him. Bella was directed towards the dining room which was where everyone else was already.

"I'm sorry Ali. He's Bella's cousin." Edward said while getting the potatoes out of the oven. I opened the fridge and got out the pre-made salad dumping it into a bowl.

"I know Double D." I whined. Edward arranged the potatoes on a plate. I brought out the salad and broccoli, while Edward brought out the summer squash and potatoes. Everyone looked up at us as Edward told me to sit and he'd get the bread and steaks. I looked at him for a moment, usually he would sit down and I would go get the rest of the food and serve it. I tried to pretend I wasn't shocked by his actions, but noticing the look on Jasper's face I knew I didn't convince everyone. I sat to Bella's right and directly across from Jasper. Well there goes the thought of ignoring him all evening.

Just like at Sue's he was staring at me. Watching my every move, he seemed to be analyzing me. I looked at my plate, studying the napkin that sat on top of it. Looking at the delicately embroidered C that faced me. My mother made these for my brother when he got his first apartment. I could hear the buzz of voices around me as my brother served the food Emmett, yelled something at Jasper causing him to look away and me to take a deep breath. Fuck, was I holding my breath? That was strange.

"Ali?" Edward smiled at me, it was his play along smile. I tilted my head a little. "Would you like to say grace?" I laughed. Had I heard him right?

"What did you just say?" I could see out of the corner of my eye, Jasper smirked. I looked at my brother who kept giving me the play along smile though his face was now growing red.

"You could have just said no." He snapped at me before turning and bowing his head. Bella and Rosalie did the same. Jasper did as well, but with the same cocky smirk plastered on his face. Emmett just stared at me and shrugged, before following suit.

I bowed my head too. Just more so I didn't seem like a dumbass than anything else. We didn't say grace, that was only something we did with Mom and Dad. Then when Edward was done, we all started to dig in. I tried to eat, but having someone stare at you while you're eating is rather uncomfortable. My eyes snapped up to his when he cleared his throat.

"You look…uh…pretty." He spoke in a hushed voice. I knew he was trying to make sure my brother didn't hear it. I could feel myself blush a little.

"Thanks." I looked him over, he had obviously tried to clean up again, this was the second time I'd seen him in a tie. "You don't look half bad yourself." He looked down at his plate and smiled. We went from sexy to coy in two weeks. Interesting.

"I had jury duty." He said. That explains it. I chuckled lightly. I finished my dinner, occasionally sneaking glances at Jasper and catching him doing the same. I felt like we were in middle school or something, how you act with your first crush. My brother cleared his throat from the other side of the table. I looked over.

"Is everyone done with their food?" Everyone murmured or nodded their agreement. Edward locked eyes with me, "I'm going to go get the wine, will you be ok with this." He stated with his because you really don't have a choice smile. I looked down and nodded a little.

"Yeah." I started to clear the platters first. As Edward got up and went to the pantry to get the wine.

"Why don't you say yes master?" Jasper hissed at me and I looked at him shocked that he was suddenly helping me. Bella and Rose started to do the same.

"No. Ed…please Bella, Rose you're guests. Jazz, I know no matter what I tell you you'll do whatever you please, so if you must." I started grabbing things quicker, knowing full well my brother wouldn't care if Jasper helped. Bella and Rose however, were a different story altogether.

"If you don't want my help I won't help, but you shouldn't have to do it alone." He looked at me. I shrugged in response and led him towards the kitchen, he helped me rinse and load the dishwasher as well.

When we got back to the dining room where everyone was waiting. Edward smiled at me raising an eyebrow before speaking to Jasper. "Thank you for helping Alice, she really can do it on her own though." I scoffed at how proud my brother sounded of me. My very first chore, clearing the table. To this day I have only three chores anywhere. Help serve food, clear the table, laundry. I don't even have to make my own bed if I don't want to. We have a maid for such things. I know Edward seemed like a hard ass to Jasper, but he really wasn't.

"Yeah, well.. I was raised that a woman shouldn't have to do chores on her own." Jaspers knuckles went white from how hard he clenched them. We both sat in our respective places. Jasper smirking at Edward as Edward smirked right back with an eyebrow. Perhaps sensing the tension Bella started to talk about of all things, mixed drinks.

"Jasper what was that drink you liked? The Dr. Venkman?" I smirked a little knowing what drink Bella was referring to. He shrugged.

"I prefer Sex on the beach." He fucking winked at me, I raised an eyebrow at him, taking a sip of my wine and heard as the rest of the table continued their conversation. I just stared at him as he laid one snide remark in the form of a drink after another towards me. OK, what the fuck asshole? I looked at Edward, he looked almost murderous towards Jasper. Jasper smirked at him. Emmett asked him about a drink called a bend me over and fuck me. Then Jasper looked at me, I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Better than a one night stand, huh Princess?" Something inside me snapped and my wine was out of my hand before I really knew what it was doing and all over him. He looked at his white shirt and then at me positively enraged. "What the fuck, Alice?" I glared at him, I could feel my nostrils flare. Edward chuckled from the other side of Bella.

"Alice, that wasn't polite. Make sure those stains don't set, take him to the laundry room." I growled before pushing myself in a standing motion and storming off to the laundry room.

Once I got to the laundry room I stripped off my boots and scrambled on top of the counter above the washer. Opening the cupboard and pulling out a bunch of stuff that claims to get rid of stains. I looked at Jasper, who was scowling at me with his arms crossed across his chest. I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Take off your shirt and toss it to me so I can pre-treat it." I watched as he pulled his tie roughly off and quickly unbuttoned his shirt, shrugging out of it and tossing it to me. The sight of his chest muscles rippling under his undershirt caused a flame of desire to be lit inside of me. Fuck, stop that! I scolded myself. I caught it and placed bleach right on top of the red blotch. Then looked at him again and smirked, he cocked an eyebrow at me and his jaw clenched.

"Your undershirt has some on it too." He unfolded his arms and looked down, upon noticing it yanked the shirt up and off his torso, tossing it at me rather roughly, I did the same thing to that shirt as I did to the button up and tossed them in the washer with bleach. I turned it on and sat with my legs dangling off the edge. I looked him directly in the eyes, feeling resentful. He hurt me worse than anyone has ever hurt me and then he rubs my face in how I got into this fucked up situation in the first place.

He came closer to me, his smell now combined with the smell of wine engulfed me. I could feel the heat rush to my core. I was in so much trouble in this little room with him. "What the hell is your problem?" He hissed at me through clenched teeth. I could see his eyes now, there was anger in them, but also another look, a look I was so used to with him by now. Lust. I licked my lips before responding.

"I got sick of all the snide remarks you make towards me. I don't understand your need to take this out on me, I didn't do anything wrong." I saw him smirk a little as his tongue darted out to the center of his lower lip, licking it lightly as he parted my legs and placed his hands on my thighs. I could feel my eyes get half lidded as I looked at him.

"Besides get me alone and half naked." He breathed his eyes very obviously staring at my lips. He's going to kiss me, I thought. Part of me cried with joy and the other part was yelling at me to walk away. But fuck did I want him right now. I smirked.

"That's how I like you best." His eyes shot up to mine for a fraction of a second as his lips came crashing down on mine. We alternated sucking and nibbling each other's bottom lip. His tongue forced it's way in and massaged mine, I felt his hands as they ran under my shirt and against my skin, his fingertips running along the underside of my bra, I moaned into his mouth. How I missed the way he touched me. He smirked as I moaned breaking our kiss to stare into my eyes, breathing heavily. His hands made their way back down my stomach to my jeans, unbuttoning and unzipping them while eyefucking me. Then I raised my hips a little as he pulled my pants down and off my legs. His hands dragged across the skin, calloused and rough, causing me to moan again as they made their way to my inner thighs.

His tongue darted out again, moistening his lower lip as his hands rubbed along my skin around my hips and to the lace that made up the sides of my thong panties. I was breathing heavy at this point and so was he. He snaked his fingers around the waistband at my sides and pulled down swiftly. Reminding me just how good with panty removal he was. He took them off my legs and look at them and smirked, was he going to smell them? I had no idea and I had no idea what that would do to my now flaming hot desire.

"Looks like someone missed me." He teased, tossing my wet panties to the floor. I glared at him and pulled him in between my parted thighs and ground myself on his obvious arousal. I watched his eyes smolder a little bit as they bore into mine.

"I think someone missed me too." He didn't respond, he just leaned forward and pushed his lips to mine again, his tongue forcing it's way in my mouth, coaxing mine into action. I heard his belt buckle clink and the sound of his pants falling to the ground. He moved me towards the edge of the counter and I could feel him position himself at my entrance just as the spin cycle kicked in, making the counter top vibrate.

He thrust in and between the sensation of being filled up by him and the vibrations from the washer below me I almost exploded right there. My head lolled back and remembering that there were other people in the condo I moaned very quietly. He groaned into my neck, before pulling out and thrusting back in again. Holding my hips for support as I gripped the counter. He created a rhythm of thrusts while holding my hips still and the washer vibrated us from below, his lips leaving opened mouthed kisses and gently nipping along my neck and collarbones. My eyes were rolling back in pleasure as he thrust himself deeper inside me.

His lips came up to my ear and I could hear him panting in sync with his thrusts. "Fuck, Alice." He breathed. The sound was followed by a memory, him crying when he kissed me last. This wasn't just going to hurt me. I could feel the pressure building up inside me as my stomach clenched harder and his thrusts picked up in speed.

I had to stop this before we got hurt any more than we already were. I placed my hands on top of his and scooted back a little which made him stop thrusting and look at me questioningly, his shaggy black hair falling over an eye. "I can't do this." I heard my voice break. I could tell by the look on his face he knew what I was saying and stepped back from me.

I jumped off the counter and found my pants, putting them on quickly and left the room, running directly into my bedroom before I shut and locked the door. I really didn't need anyone, especially him, to follow me in here. I turned on the shower and set it as high as I could stand before sitting on the floor and trying to rub the feeling of his hands off me again. I could feel the sting in my eyes as I started to cry. I buried my face in my knees and wrapped my arms around them for support just letting the tears come. Why the fuck did I do that? I couldn't wrap my head around my own actions.

When the water turned cold I turned off the shower and wrapped myself in a towel, went to my bed and without getting dressed climbed under the covers and sobbed into my pillow. Eventually I fell asleep.
