Chapter 5 - Life Stories

Alice's POV:

I Paced up and down the deck debating weather or not I should go and find jasper. I wondered how dinner was going; I turned to find my sister but she wasn't herself. tears flowed from her eyes; I pulled her straight into a hug.

"Bella"

I whispered. This was odd I've never seen her like this before; she would always be the one who would comfort me; not like this.

"Alice; I can't... I Can't"

more tears escaped her eyes.

"You can't what Bella? Tell Me please"

I begged her. Bella pulled away from me; she ran as fast as she could towards the front of the boat. All i wanted to do was hurt whoever had caused my sister pain.

"Bella"

I whispered not able to shout. Then i noticed that the boy from the corridor, the one that was with Jasper, he got up and followed after her. I was about to copy his move when i felt a hand on my shoulder; i turned and my heart fluttered,

"Jasper"

it was barely above a whisper. His golden eyes had made my day

"Hello"

he replied; his voice was so beautiful just like bells. Bells; Bella.

"I'm Sorry Jasper; but my sister"

I turned my back on him which was hard to do I've never felt like that before.

"Please Stay; She's in good hands my brother went after her .... err?"

he looked at me confused; then I caught on.

"Sorry I never got to introduce myself I'm Alice Swan"

He flashed a smile;

"I'm Jasper Hale pleasure to meet you Alice Swan"

For some reason I believed him. I got lost in his eyes;

"Would you care to join me for a walk under the stars?"

He was such a gentleman; I hesitated; looking in the direction Bella ran off.

"I would love to but may we check up on my sister?"

He nodded

"Of course"

he was so sweet was he was the one? We started walking; it felt right being with him.

"The stars are beautiful"

I said looking up.

"I Guess; But not as beautiful as the creature standing next to me"

he said with such emotion. I looked around to find this beautiful creature he was looking at; I felt jealous. But no one was around it was just us;

"Yes i was talking about you"

I blushed; wait I never blush.

"So how old are you?"

I asked curious; He stiffened for a brief second then relaxed again;

"I'm 17 how about you?"

he responded.

"I am 17 so is Bella but she's ten months older than me"

a smiled spread across his face. It started to get colder I guessed he noticed me shiver; he started to shrug off his thin jacket;

"Here; I don't want you to get Cold or sick"

He cared; he helped me put it on.

"thank You Jasper; but I don't want you to get ill either; you must be freezing"

he chuckled;

"I'm fine"

we continued to walk around the deck. We spoke of brief history; Jasper told me how he was adopted by Dr Carlisle Cullen and his wife Mrs Esme Cullen; he also had a twin sister Rosalie together they were the Hales. He had two other Brothers Edward and Emmett.

"Was Edward the one who went after Bella?"

i asked him;

"Yes; maybe ill introduce to the rest of my family one day"

he looked over board.

"I'd like that; I wish I could introduce to my parents but they............ But I'm sure Bella would love to meet you"

I smiled at him. We had nothing more to speak off; we sat and stared into each other's eyes.

"Alice; to be honest I've never ever felt this way before may i try something?"

I just nodded unable to find words . He slowly leaned in; closer and closer until our lips finally met; It was magical. I didn't give a care about mother and her standards or about the classes that separated us; I did care about one thing; that.I Loved Jasper 's POV:As I entered the dining hall; James Stopped me; he was Jacob's man servant.

"Isabella; Where is your sister? Am I not wrong that Jacob invited you both?"

he led me through the doors; I could see Jacob laughing with Father.

"Yes he did James but Alice wanted to take a walk around the upper deck"

I Would never tell him where she was really. I sat next to Jacob; he kissed my cheek then went back to talking. I had no idea who these people were; I looked around I so wish Alice was here with me. A tall gentleman who sat across from me started to talk.

"So Isabella"

I looked at him;

"Bella please"

I asked kindly. Mother glared at me;

"Don't be so rude; Isabella is your name"

once she was done she turned to my father I just nodded.

"So Isabella; what do you expect from life?"

What sort of question was that? Jacob slightly nudged me;

"I'd love to explore the world"

there was silence then everyone burst into laughter; what was so funny?

"Now darling stop having these little fantasies"

everyone was still laughing I looked across and my mother was still glaring at me.

"Isabella your only future is too marry Jacob and stay at home"

she said this harshly. Was this what was to become of my life?

"So Isabella is that what you really want to do in life is to travel around the world"

The man asked me.

"Yes that's what I would Lo--"

But then I was cut off by my mother's voice.

"Don't be Silly Isabella you aren't going to travel around the world the only thing you will be doing once we get off this boat is marrying Jacob, I have already found a dress and everything for you"

My mother told me. And she kept on going on and on about mine n Jacob's wedding, grandchildren and me just becoming the perfect little house wife. Slowly tears were running down my face I had to get out of here I didn't want to be here anymore.

"Excuse me"

I said getting out of my set and leaving the dinning hall.

"Isabella you get back here right now or so help me"

My mother screamed while I was leaving the room.I had enough of people telling me what I should do; I ran as fast as I could. I needed Alice; I found myself on the upper deck. She Was there pacing up and down; without thinking I ran towards her; she turned and looked at me. Alice studied my face for a brief second then pulled me into a hug.

"Bella"

she whispered.

"Alice; I can't... I Can't"

More tears escaped my eyes; I couldn't tell her how I can't live in this world no more; how I can't go on. It would just destroy her if I told her;

"You can't what Bella? Tell Me please"

she begged me. No I couldn't do this to my sister; I pulled away and ran towards the front of the boat planning my escape from this world.

My death.
