Jasper’s POV
“Hello.” I said gruffly.
“Where are you?” my mother barked.
“At Alice’s.” I said.
“I told you to be home by ten and it’s ten and you’re not here.” My mother yelled.
“I forgot. Can’t I spend a little more time with Alice?” I asked.
“No, you have school tomorrow.” My mother hissed.
“I’m on my way.” I said defeated and disappointed. I hung up and turned to see Alice’s angelic face.
“You have to go home.” She said.
“Yea, Mom beckoned me home. She says we have school tomorrow.” I said.
“Okay. See you tomorrow, Jazzie.” Alice said before planting a wet kiss on my lips. Alice walked me to the door and watched as I left. I sped home to make sure I arrived not too late. When I pulled into the drive, the light was on outside. I ran inside to be greeted by my mother.
“15 minutes late.” My mother tsked.
“Sorry ma’am. I forgot.” I said.
“Like you forgot to go to work? Your employer called to find out why you never showed.” My mother shouted.
“Mom, I’m sorry.” I said because I couldn’t tell her the truth. She’d think Alice was crazy.
“You’re sorry? That’s all you have to say. After I left that girl live here, this is how you repay your father and I. We took her in no questions asked. Are you two sleeping together? Is that your problem? That girl is changing you Jasper. You used to be so punctual and no we’re lucky if you’re an hour late. Jasper Hayden Whitlock, you tell me the truth, are you and that girl sleeping together?” my mother was a bright red.
“No ma’am we’re not. I promise.” I said quietly.
“Get to bed, you have school tomorrow.” My mother said dismissing me. I ran upstairs to my room and got into bed. I grabbed my phone and texted Alice.
    Hey babe.
    Hey. Are you in trouble?
    Not a lot. Mom freaked and thought we were sleeping together.
    Oh. Sorry I got you in big trouble. I’m sure your mother hates me now. What’d she say?
    Not much. Told me she knew I’d skipped out on work and wanted to know why. Of course I just apologized and she sent me to bed.
    Wow. Sounds bad.
    It wasn’t too bad.
    I’m still sorry.
    No worries Ali cat.
    I’m tired so I’m off to bed. Sweet dreams.
    You too, darling. I love you.
    I love you more.
    Not possible.
I fell asleep shortly after and woke to the sun shining in my window. I crawled out of bed and into some jeans and a t-shirt. I grabbed shoes and went downstairs to eat something before I went to school. I grabbed a pop tart and headed out. When I arrived at school I instantly looked for Alice’s shiny black BMW. When she stepped out, my jaw dropped. She was dressed in a grey dress with a thick black belt and black heels. She had pink tights on too. She walked towards me and I wrapped my arms around her protectively.
“You look gorgeous, babe.” I said awe-struck.
“Is it too much?” she asked quietly.
“No, you look perfect.” I said grabbing my school bag. Alice took my hand and we walked into the school. As we walked down the halls I noticed Alice focused on her shoes.
“Jazzie, are you mad at me?” Alice asked when we stopped at her locker.
“No. Never. Why?” I asked perplexed.
“Just curious.” Alice said grabbing her Chem book. I took her hand in mine.
“Mary Alice Brandon, I love you and nothing could stop that. Unless of course you wanted to split ways and have someone else.” I said putting my forehead against hers.
“Oh Jazzie, you’re too good for me.” Alice cooed kissing me briefly.
“I mean it.” I said sweetly.
“I know.” Alice said grabbing my hand and heading towards her Chem class. I watched as she sat down next to her partner, Edward Masen. Then I made my way to Pre-Cal.
