A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 167. And twixt them rushes.

-Jasper-

While I'd been distracted with the Commissioner, Garrett had been transferred from the hard ground to a gurney by the paramedics. As they moved past me, I told the police that I had to get to the hospital, and then followed the gurney's slow progress to the ambulance.

Alice was by my side as Garrett was loaded inside. "You go with Garrett," she said, trying to appear calm. "I'll keep trying to get hold of Dad and meet you there."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded.

I kissed her cheek and tried to summon a smile, but failed.

"He'll be okay."
