Edward's POV
It was too late!
I hated it when Jasper was smart. He had managed to slip out of my head. The last thing I remember hearing from him was Alice's name being repeated over and over again. I thought that was a good sign as he tends to do that when he is having a private moment with her. No other thought; just Alice.
I had alerted Carlisle straight away; telling him that Jasper had ran away and I had no idea how long he was planning on staying away. I didn't think too long because he was nothing without Alice. He lived only for her; to love her, to protect her and for his sake, keep himself stable. If she wasn't here; if she died or found a new mate, he would end his life as his only reason for living wouldn't matter anymore. He had already thought this out which is why I also keep Alice safe because I'm not only protecting her but Jasper's life too.
Carlisle had first thought that maybe he just wanted some fresh air but I reminded him of our conversation earlier which made him rethink this out. So instead, we have all spread out to look for him other than Bella and Renesmee, who went back to our home and Alice and Esme who have stayed at the house just in case he comes back. Well, that's Esme's reason; Alice just needs some time to think. Jasper had hurt her after finding out that after a whole 60 years together; he still didn't fully trust Alice.
Don't get me wrong, I know that Jasper has trust issues but to not trust his own mate just wasn't right. It was all because of the self harming. He thinks that Alice would leave him if she found out about what he does to himself. That's why he doesn't trust her; he never thinks positive. The only way Jasper can prove to Alice that he can trust her is to tell her the truth. To tell her what he does, why he does it and last but not least, admits that he wants her help. But no, he has to be 'the secretive one' or 'the hidden one' as the Denali's describes him.
They were actually very wary of him when they first met him. Well, when I say 'met' I mean Jasper staying very close to Alice, glaring at them all; his silent way of saying 'back off; she's mine'. It was the more they saw of him when they realised that he only gave you the disturbing glares when he was near Alice to protect her. When she wasn't around, he just seemed to hide behind Carlisle at the complete opposite side of the room. I guess it's because he isn't fully familiar with the Denali's. I mean, it took him a whole 50 years for him to finally ease around us.
I heard my phone go off as I received a text message.
Found him at Clallam bay . Doesn't look too good. You should probably come here; he is fiddling with a match and its freaking me out. Em.
As soon as I finished reading the message that Emmett had sent me, I changed my course, running as fast as I could to Clallam bay. I hope he doesn't try anything that stupid. Biting himself was bad enough but if he is too depressed, he will end up setting himself on fire completely forgetting about how much he would hurt Alice.
At least Emmett is realising his dark and unstable side. I just hope that he will be able to handle Jasper until I get there.
Emmett POV
I was told to head North East so I did, slowing down every now and again to smell out Jasper's scent but when I couldn't sense him, I carried on running. It was once I reached the coast when I found him standing far out into the water. I think he was glaring at the moon.
"Hey" I shouted.
It was very easy to startle Jasper so I had expected him to turn around and hiss at me but he didn't; he just stood there. He didn't even flinch. So I decided to join him in the water, walking forward until I was standing by his side where the water had came up to my chest.
"You gonna talk to me?" I questioned.
He completely ignored me; pretending like I wasn't even there. I moved my eyes to where he was looking; the moon shining onto the water.
"Beautiful isn't it" I tried for a conversation.
"Beauty is always surrounded by darkness" he whispered.
I guess he was metaphorically talking about him and Alice; Alice being the bright moon and Jasper being the dark sky.
"Yeah but, it's the darkness that makes it stand out." I pointed out, trying to make him feel good about something. Damn, I hate how much of a self loather he is.
"No. The sky brings darkness upon the world and the moon has to fix everything the sky did" he whispered again.
So in other words, Jasper messed up.
"Look dude, I have no idea what is going on between you and Alice and you and Edward for that matter, but you have seriously got to stop with the whole depression thing. It affects everyone else." I explained.
"I know. I always affect people. I always have a negative impact on them and yet they still allow me to be near them"
He turned around and walked out of the water so I trailed behind. Jasper jumped up in a tree, clearly wanting to increase the distance between us so I just leaned against the tree he was sitting in.
"Come on dude, you're not that bad" I tried.
I heard the sound of a match stick being swiped against the side of a box so my head rapidly turned to look up to see what the hell Jasper was doing. He was observing the flame on the match stick, tilting his head like the sight of fire was interesting.
"Dude, what the hell are you doing?" I nervously asked.
He didn't reply but continued to gaze at the bright yellow light as a sly smile began to appear on his face. What was going through his mind? Damn I wish I was Edward.
Edward.
I should probably message him and tell him to get here fast. He'll sort this out since he is the only one that could get inside Jasper's head. So I pulled out my phone and sent him a quick message, hoping that Jasper hadn't noticed.
"Dude, you might want to blow that out" I warned him.
He actually listened to me this time and blew it out.
Oh, and now the cheeky bastard has just pulled out another stick and lit that too. I sighed, annoyed. He began to gaze at that one too. Seriously, what was he up to?
"Emmett, I think I want some time to myself" he hinted quietly, not looking away from the flame.
He's joking right? My highly depressed brother has a lit match stick in his hand, giving it some sort of psycho smile and he expects me to just give him some space? I don't think so.
"No way, man; I'm staying here" I stated.
"But you won't like what you'll see" he whispered almost too quietly.
Jasper was beginning to scare me now. He wouldn't dare. He wouldn't do that to Alice.
"Dude, I don't think you're thinking straight" I stated the obvious.
No comment.
Maybe I should text Carlisle too. I think out of all of us, he is the most careful one around Jasper. He might be able to talk some sense into him.
Jasper had suddenly pulled out a hip flask and I smelt alcohol as soon as he opened the lid. Where the hell did he get that from? We don't keep alcohol in the house. We don't even drink it. Wait, alcohol is flammable! That little son of a bitch.
"Jasper, don't you dare do what I think you're about to do" I suddenly shouted at him.
Completely ignoring what I was saying, he poured it onto his body. Oh shit. I made a move to climb up the tree to stop him but before I could, Jasper was knocked out of the tree anyway, the match stick falling on the floor.
Edward had perfect timing, I give him that. I rushed to the match stick on the ground and blew it out so it wouldn't set fire to anything, especially Jasper for that matter.
"What the hell, Jasper? What the hell were you thinking huh?" Edward screamed at him.
"You should know; you have been spending all of your time spying on me" he replied back weakly.
"You were being selfish Jasper! Do you have any idea what you would have done to Alice? What pain you would have put her through?" Edward continued to release his anger.
"She's better off without me" he whispered.
"Come on man, you know that's not true" I calmed him.
"Jasper, Carlisle has to know about this" Edward revealed.
"No" Jasper dangerously replied.
"Don't you see? You have reached the point where you want to end your life Jasper! He has to know as well as Alice".
"No!" Jasper screamed.
"Know what?" I asked.
I thought Eddie was talking about the whole suicidal Jasper thing but as it turns out, there is more to it. Now I was curious.
As if I was completely forgotten, Jasper and Edward continued to glare at each other.
"You can't keep it a secret forever, Jasper" Eddie whispered.
"Dude, what the fuck is going on?" I asked, losing my patience.
Thankfully, I began to sense another vampire; Carlisle. Thank god! I backed away from my glaring brothers and closer to my father. As soon as I saw him, I spoke.
"Dude, Jasper tried to..."
"I know, Alice saw it and rung me" he said as calm as possible although I could hear a little pain that his voice was holding back.
He continued to walk on ahead, further to Jasper. The minute he noticed Carlisle, he backed off back into the water, keeping a wary gaze on him.
"Emmett, Edward, go home and let Alice know that everything is okay. I'll have a word with Jasper" he informed.
I noticed Jasper panicked a little, backing further into the water. Boy, I hope Carlisle manages to knock some sense into my not so normal brother. What the hell had happened tonight? I darted back into the forest, heading back to Forks with Edward catching up behind me.
Reviews are appreciated!
