Warning: if you are a Steelers fan be nice because there will be something about the Steelers that is not nice!

I got to the library way ahead of Alice. God I hope she didn't bail on me, I really want to see her. I sat down in one of the high chairs next to the window and spread my history homework out and my book right next to it. I grabbed another book from the shelf and opened it to a random page so she would think I'm the book wormy type. She still wasn't here yet so I went down stairs to the vending machines in the magazine room and got two Mystics to drink hoping Alice likes those drinks and a bag a cheese its and went back up to my table. On my past the check-out counter I saw her.
"Alice!" I speed walked to get to her. She jumped and smiled.
"Hey Jasper!" She exclaimed and noticed the food and drinks in my hand.
"Oh, uh I didn't know what you liked but I got this Mystic drink for you. You don't have to drink it I just thought you maybe thirsty and –"I blabbered like a moron
"No, it's O.K. I love Mystic and cheese It." she smiled and took one of the drinks from my hand.
"Right, so uh I put my stuff over here." I walked over to the table.
We were able to get the project done in an hour or so. I packed up everything and put it in my backpack and watched Alice to the same. She looked so distance from reality, like something was bothering her. As she was doing that her iPod fell out of her bag. We both reached down together I saw her sleeve push up and her bracelets move down a little to see a red scar. I only stared. She could cut herself she was too nice to be emo. Alice's eyes met my stare.
"My neighbor is out of down so I have to cat sit and her cat scratched me." She said
"Oh, ok. Are you alright? You seem kind of spacey." I said
"I'm fine I have a lot on my mind." She replied
"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked.
"No, it's just the HAS we have to take in May. That's all" she said, "So you like the Hunger Games?"
"Huh?" I looked down to the book I pulled off the shelf. It was Catching Fire, "Oh its ok not my personal fave but bearable to read.
"Really? I didn't like it. Too much Si-fi and Adventure to my liking, not enough Romance." She picked up the book and fiddled with it.
"What genre books do you like?" I asked
"Teen Romance, Classics, Nicholas Sparks, Some action like Maximum Ride. Other books like the clique or pretty little liars." She replied
"Oh cool, my sister reads the Clique. She's like in love with them." I spoke
"I know I got her hooked on them." She smiled.
I saw a person walk by with a 'Green bay Packers' jersey on and spoke what I thought.
"I can't believe the 'Steelers' lost to those Cheese heads!" I exclaimed.
"You a Steelers fan aren't you?" Alice's baby blue eyes looked at me
"Yeah there the best!"
"Get out!" She pointed to the door.
"What?"
"Get out. I HATE the stupid Squealers!"
"Why?"
"There nothing but cheaters and no goods and babies like big Ben. We SO did not break his nose and we don't cheat our way into the super bowl by paying the refs some sort of large amount of money to call bad plays on us when it was clearly the stealers!" She argued. So she's a football fan, yes! It would have really sucked if she was one of those girls that hate football and won't watch it and make me change it to some fashion show.
"So you're a Ravens Fan huh? We did not pay the refs girly. Your team has makes bad plays all by themselves. Big Ben is not a baby! You don't see Flacco playing football with a broken foot. He can't throw a decent ball anyway." I defended.
"Damn straight I'm a Ravens fan but there's others in the world that hate the Steelers. Don't come telling me Flacco's not good. He is awesome and at least he didn't attack anybody!
"Chill darlin' I'm just saying.-"
"No you're not Jasper Hale you know it's true. Suggs should have sacked him hard in the game so he would have been taking off the field." She huffed and her phone went off.
She looked at the phone contently. I could she her eyes start to get all glassy, her mood seemed to drop. She was all happy and now she looked close to the verge of tears.
"Alice? What's wrong?" I asked scooting my chair closer to her.
"Nothing." Her voice broke.
"Yes, something's wrong, let me see." I grabbed her phone and pulled her next to so her head was lying on my shoulder. The text read:
I'm not a thief you are such a fucking face ass, wow that was all made up. One more thing Rose doesn't count as cool people. You're only god damn friend is Emmett. You can't dance without you're boobs shaking. Like any boy is going to want that. You have a pizza face and horrible hair. You're so short you look like a 5-year old. No boy wants to go out with a 13 year old who looks like a kindergartener. Be sides they want a girl who is skinny and not a size 13 bitch. Wooooooow is all I have to say. Buhhbye
From Bella Swan
What the hell kind of person would send such a text to a sweet girl? Rose isn't cool, bullshit. Emmett isn't her only friend Alice is friends with almost half the 8th grade. Bella was the girl at our school who made fun of everybody. Alice and Bella were good friends back at the end of 7th grade.
"Alice what happened?" I asked her. She remained silent in her words but she cried into my chest, "Don't listen to her Alice she just looking for trouble."
"Bbbut she's rright. Nnno guy iis gonna want me." He voice muffled into my shirt.
"Let's go outside and get some air O.K? Than we can talk." She nodded and walked with me to the bench outside. It was just Twilight. We sat down and I pulled her close.
"Did you talk to your parents?" I asked
"Yeah they said drop her. Edward won't believe it though! It's worse that she's spending the night since her parents are out of town." Her cries were muffled in my shirt.
"Well listen to them Ali Kat-I mean Alice dammit." I fumbled. Way to go Jazz now she'll never want to go out with you. I heard her small laugh at that.
"You can call me that or Ali or Al but I like your nickname better. Bella and Tanya didn't know I heard if they find that out they'll start something new!"
"Then what brought this on?" I questioned
"Sixth grade cabin choices." She said quietly.
In 6th grade we went to this camp for a week and we got to pick who we wanted in our cabin. I remember that because the next the day there was an 'Anti-Alice' list and all her friends from elementary school signed it plus some other whores. It got passed to me on day in science. I had my pen ready to sign it but I took a look at her and tears in her eyes so I skipped it and gave it back. Rosalie, Emmett and I were the only ones who didn't sign it. Even seventh graders signed it!
"Come to my house." I said quickly.
"What?" she looked at me funny.
"Isn't Bella gonna be at you house tonight?" I asked
"Yeah her and Edward are coming back around-"she drifted away as she check her cellphone, "Now, oh my gosh it's almost nine, my parents must be worried." She hurriedly got up and grabbed her stuff.
"I don't want you to be over there while Bella's there. I'm sure Rosalie would like to have a friend sleep over." I said, "Give me you cell phone." I held out my hand for her phone.
"Jasper you don't have to do that. I can take care of myself." She pleaded.
"Not in that state. Bella will say something about that to you. I don't want you to hurt you're self over her." I reached for her hand a took her phone. I looked through her speed dials until I found 'home' I pressed send and it was Esme who answered it.
"Hello?" Esme asked.
"Hi, Mrs. Esme, this is Jasper Hale and i-"
"She's not hurt is she?" Esme cut me off.
I chuckled, "No Mrs. Cullen. Were at the library and my sister wanted to know if she could sleep over tonight?" I asked
"Yeah that's fine but how come you're calling. Is Ali not there? Why did she leave her cell? Is Rosalie home or are you lying to take-"I cut her off again.
'"Mrs. Cullen I would never do anything to hurt your daughter. Alice is next me, Bella sent Alice a text message that had some crude things to say to her and the State Alice is in I don't want Bella to hurt her in anyway tonight. Rosalie would be more than glad to have her best friend to come over for the night and do whatever the normally do." I said.
"Oh my God what did she say?" she asked.
"Alice can show you when she gets home. Don't mention any of this to Edward he will tell Bella." I said.
"Of course. Doesn't Alice need clothes for tomorrow?" she asked again.
"Rosalie will have more than enough clothes for Alice to borrow Mrs. Cullen." I said
"You can call me Esme, Jasper you're a good boy and I think you're telling the truth."
"Thank you Esme for understanding, Have a good night." I pressed end and put the phone in Alice's hand.
"Come on lets go." I nodded. She walked her bike beside me and we talk about music for the remainder of the trek to my house. Once we got there I put her bike behind my house and walked her to the side door. Before we walked in I took my thumb and wiped any tears still left of her face.
"Don't worry Ali Kat you're O.K now." I encouraged her and we walked through the doors.
"Hey Jasper- ALI!" Rosalie ran and gave Alice a well needed hug. I walked over to my parents and told them a good bit of what happened and asked if it was O.K to let Ali stay overnight. The agreed and said they wouldn't tell Rose until Alice left.
"Alice you're always welcomed here. You're like a second daughter." My dad said.
"Thank you Mr. Hale." She blushed.
"There's some leftover pizza for you guys if you're hungry." My mom said.
"Thank you Mrs. Hale." Alice smiled.
"Please Alice call me Bethany." My mom said.
"And Eric." My dad included. Alice nodded and whispered something to Rose.
"O.K. Come on, let's find some cute PJ's for you. Omg you can try my new smelly soap. It smells like soda fizz. It's called Fizzy pop. I got the same incent in that smell to put I'm not sure how to use it." Rose gushed and led her away. I just shook my head.
"How much sugar did you give her?" I asked
"None but I would watch the two. You've seen how hyper Alice can get some days and when Rose is Alice all hyped up and forget about what happened tonight at least for a little bit.

I let the hot water run down me and I grabbed the scissors from there drawer and hoped Jasper won't see. I think he likes me and I don't want to ruin it.
