Rosalie Hale marched out of her house and towered over the motionless body of her best friend.
"You can't just keep lying here, Alice."
"Why not?" she asked, not bothering to open her eyes.
"You are lying in the middle of the street."
"Jasper has to leave the house at some point and he'll have to talk to me."
"He already did." Rose looked at the girl sadly. "He left for Edward's about an hour ago."
Alice lifted up on her elbows and looked up at Rose in disbelief. She was shocked and more than a little hurt that he avoided her so easily, but she closed her eyes and took a deep breath to fight off the tears as she lay back down. "Well he has to come home at some point."
"You are going to get yourself run over and I won't even get the chance to say 'I told you so.'"
"Oh please, Rose, this is Forks. Your street only sees about five cars a day and three of them belong to your family."
Resisting the urge to kick her best friend when she was down, Rose marched back into her house and slammed the door. Being Jasper's stepsister and Alice's best friend, she knew exactly how much the two of them were hurting and she hated not being able to do anything about it.
Rose glared at her through the window as Garrett brought out his bright orange cones the town used for their youth soccer league. After neatly placing the safety cones around Alice, he handed her his favorite pillow and ran back inside. It didn't matter to Garrett that Alice was twice his age and supposed to be his half-brother's girlfriend, he was completely smitten and wanted to ensure her safety. He hoped that Rosalie was wrong about someone running over his crush.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Hale took some lunch to the heartbroken teenager followed by Mr. Hale with an extra umbrella. It seemed like the entire Whitlock-Hale household was awaiting Jasper's arrival right alongside Alice … just in a much more comfortable, indoor setting.
