SPECIAL CHAPTER
I sat cross-legged on the chair I positioned beside our gigantic glass wall. I kept my gaze focused on whatever I see outside, purposefully avoiding the view behind me.
I could hear Edward and Cessa trying to stifle their giggles. Cessa was again making fun of Edward by forcing him to play games offered at MyScene's and Barbie's websites. It's not that I had anything against them, because I definitely don't. I usually find their relationship very, very amusing. Now was just not the time to watch them be like that. Not now. Not when I was being bitter.
It's been exactly one month, seven days, nine hours and fifty-two minutes since I last saw Jasper. He's been accepted for a two-month student exchange program in Europe. I, of course, am very proud of my beau, so I've been trying to not let him show that without him, I'm absolutely devastated. I stopped talking about him with my siblings because annoyance with my clinginess was evident in their faces. Cessa and Rose listened to me loyally, but I don't want to ruin their moods with my sentiments.
So I was stuck at home with three couples being all lovey-dovey while my other half was all the way in Europe. To add insult to injury, today was our anniversary. I was spending our anniversary alone. Oh snap.
"Alice," I heard Edward's voice from directly behind me. "Cheer up, little sis. Have dinner with Cessa and me tonight."
"Yeah, sure," I smiled. It didn't matter what I did. He wouldn't be here anyway.
"Let's leave in an hour," he grinned at me encouragingly. "We'll be eating at Le Soufflé."
I stood up and made my way up the spiral staircase and into my room. I rummaged my closet for a nice dress fit for a high-class restaurant. After much pondering and decision-making, I ended up with a red tube dress that ended just above the knee, accessorized with a thick white belt and paired with white shoes.
As I exited the bedroom, Edward was already waiting for me. I had to admit that my brother looked especially handsome in his olive green polo shirt. It complimented his eyes. I had a gut feeling that he and Cessa would be wearing matching clothes again, as always. I think they even plan to match now. I'm not sure. When we picked Cessa up, my prediction was dead right.
"Close your eyes Alice," Cessa said as we entered Le Soufflé.
I did as I was told, of course. I heard rustling and movement, but I did not open my eyes. I heard Edward talk to the receptionist, asking for the reservations he made earlier today. Cessa held my hand and led me to the venue.
"You can look now," I heard my brother's voice say.
I noticed that we were in a secluded place. In front of me was a laptop. A webcam window was open and I could see Jasper.
"Happy anniversary, babe," he said using a built-in microphone. He smiled at me.
"You, too," I said. "I wish you were here to spend it with me, though."
"I know," he smiled wishfully. "This is the closest we can get. Let's eat together."
The meal went by wonderfully. We laughed and told stories, as if we were face to face.
But we weren't.
The Jasper in front of me isn't too tangible. I couldn't hug him or kiss him or hold his hand. I could just stare at him and listen to his voice. So close yet so far. I could feel my heart aching. I couldn't contain my emotions. Tears started streaming down my face. I saw Jasper's finger touch his monitor, probably a desperate attempt to touch my face.
"I wish I could be there to dry your tears. I can't wait to have you in my arms again."
As if on cue, I felt someone hug me from behind. I closed my eyes and did my best to imagine that my brother's arms were those of Jasper.
