End of Chapter 15
***Edward's POV***
A second later we heard the doorbell ring and Emmett run down the stairs to see who it was. He returned a minute later holding a pizza box, the most confused look on his face.
"Who ordered pizza?" He said as he scrunched his face in disgust.
"Me, thank you Emmett." I said as I stood up and took the pizza from his hands.
"You owe me 19...wait 25 dollars. I tipped him good seeing as how I think I scared the daylight out of him.
"I'll pay you back." I said as I thought of the poor delivery man.
"Let's go, you have to eat." I said as I offered her a hand and helped her stand.
We were just walking out the door when I thought I heard something. I turned and looked at everyone, wondering who was messing with me.
"Edward, HELP ME!!!" Alice's voice screamed in my head, surprising me to the point that I almost dropped the pizza.
I turned back and looked at the bed where Alice lay, still as she had ever been. I was about to start walking back out of the room when she screamed again and this time everyone ran to her side, the scream out loud.
Chapter 16
***Alice's POV***
When the red light would come on there was no way of knowing what would happen. One minute I was being chased by things I couldn't name, things I had never seen before....but those were the good things.
This time I was standing in my bedroom, everything exactly like it was when I left..well like it was before this happened. I heard someone coming up the stairs and knew it was Jasper before the door opened. I turned and faced the door, waiting to see him in what seemed like it was forever. When the door opened I launched myself at him and was surprised when he reached out and stopped me, setting me on the floor a few feet away from him.
"Jazz?" I said as I looked up at him, noticing that he was not looking at me at all.
"Alice, we need to talk."
"Jasper, I missed you so much. Hold me, please?" I said as I reached one hand out to him.
He looked at it for a minute before turning and looking at the door. He took a deep breath, his entire body tensing up as he reached for the door handle.
"Please don't go." I said softly.
"Alice," He said as he turned and looked at me. "Alice, we can't..I can't pretend anymore. I have to tell you the truth."
"Jasper?" I said, my body freezing in fear.
"Alice, I can't do this. You need to listen, please. Alice I know the things we promised on the hill many years ago, and I had all intentions of honoring it. But, things have changed. I can not pretend anymore, Alice...I don't love you."
I shook my head, not believing what he was saying...thinking that this was all wrong. We knew each other better then anyone, how could I have missed this? I looked up at him to see him staring down at me, his eyes staring into mine as if he were looking for something.
"I love you." I said softly.
"I know, and I am sorry. I will leave, you always felt this was home. Take care Alice, I won't bother you again." He said as he started to walk out the door, but I stood up and grabbed his hand, forcing him to turn and look at me.
"I love you Jasper." I said as I bent in and kissed him, my arms wrapping around his neck as I held myself tightly against him.
A few seconds later the red light faded and everything became clear. I could hear Edward and Bella's voices in the background, and I knew that this was one of the few moments I had where I was between the red and the white lights. I tried screaming, tried thinking...but nothing worked.
I was about to give up hope when I saw the sun, the actual sun coming through the window. I tried moving, to let them know I was in here but nothing happened. I took a breath and saw my chest move, I had to try...I had to get to them.
"Edward, HELP ME!!!" I screamed as loud as I could, unsure if anyone heard me.
It didn't take long to figure out that people had in fact heard me, Edward's face appearing in front of my eyes. I threw my arms out, wrapping them around Edward as hard as I could..I wasn't sure but I hoped that it would keep me here, that Edward would keep me in this world.
"Alice," Edward said as I hugged him. "Alice are you ok?"
"I don't know, don't let go." I said against his shoulder.
"I won't." He said as he hugged me, I felt someone touch my hair, running fingers through my hair. I looked over to see Bella sitting on the bed next to me, tears streaming down her face.
"Bella." I said, my voice cracking. "I heard you." I said as I blew a kiss to her.
"Alice?" Jasper's voice called from the end of the bed.
I felt Edward start to loosen his hold on me and I whimpered, not wanting him to let go. I needed him to hold me here, to keep me from falling back into the nightmare.
"Don't let go." I said to Edward.
"But, Jasper." Edward thought.
"I'm scared, the things I saw." I said as I replayed what I had just seen before I 'woke up.'
"Oh." He said as he hugged me again. "It was just the nightmare. Alice, he's been so worried."
"I just can't right now. Please help him understand." I thought.
"Bella, can you take Alice to clean up. Help her?" Edward asked as we both looked at Bella.
"Of course." Bella said as she stood up and helped me stand, walking out of the room without another question.
"Be gentle." I thought at Edward as I chanced another look at Jasper who looked hurt and scared.
I wanted to run back in the room, to hold him and tell him everything was alright. That I was so sorry to hurt him like this, but Bella held my arm as she led me down the hall to my room. I hoped that Edward would talk to him, to tell him I just needed a minute..and that I still loved him regardless as to what he had said in my dream.
