Hey girls/guys, here's the next chapter. This is really hard to write, hope people enjoy :)
End of Chapter 9
I turned around and slammed the door in his face, the look in his eyes was heart breaking. I just hurt my brother when he was already hurting. I turned so that my back was against the door, my body shaking.
"Please don't leave me." I whispered through the door.
"I have to, we can not go together this time. Please understand, I will call when I'm ready and you will be the one to come get me ok?" Edward said directly to the door.
"Promise me you will call me, we've not been apart since Jasper and I joined this family. You and I have always had each other and now..." I said as I opened the door and threw my arms around him.
"Alice, please understand. I will call often, but I need to be alone to figure out who I am again." He said as he hugged me tightly.
"I know who you are, you are Edward Cullen. My brother, the other half of our 'freak' group. The only person other then Jasper who can talk sense into me, or calm me down." I said in between sobs.
He kissed my forehead and pulled away from me. He looked back over his shoulder once before he walked into his room.
"I Love you Edward." I said softly.
I heard a sigh from his room and I went back to packing all of our belongings as fast as I could so that we could leave and get away from this town and it's memories.
Chapter 10
Jasper and I hurried to pack everything we could, we knew that the bigger things would have to wait for the movers, but we took all the smaller things we could with us.
Jasper was running all of our boxes down the stairs and into the trailer that was hooked onto Emmett's Jeep. I tried to help, but with everything going on I just wanted to curl up on the bed and disappear.
"Alice, it's time." Jasper said as he crawled on the bed and kissed the top of my head.
I looked up at him, he was my life. I would go anywhere and do anything for him, there would never be any doubt about that. As I started thinking of everything we had been through I found myself comparing Jasper and I to Edward and Bella.
I tried to think about how it would feel having to leave him. I knew that I would never be able to do that. I couldn't handle being away from him for a few days, let alone for ever. I felt myself sobbing again, wishing I could cry.
"Go ahead, I have to take care of one more thing. I'll be down in a few." I said as I crawled off the bed and held the door open for him.
"Ok, don't be too long. Emmett and Rosalie want to get going." He said as he walked out the door pausing long enough to kiss me before heading down the stairs.
I looked around our room, it was so empty. The only thing left was our bed, the dressers, and our overstuffed chair. I shook my head before closing the door and walking down the hallway, pausing outside Edwards door.
"Come in Alice." I heard him say softly.
I walked in and found him laying on the couch in his room, things thrown around the room. There were pieces of broken glass against the far wall, and all of his cd's looked like went along throwing them all on the floor. One was laying by my feet, bent in half. I bent over and picked it up looking to see that it was his Debussy cd.
"Edward." I whispered as I walked over and knelt next to his head, running my fingers through his hair.
"I know Alice, I know everything you are thinking!!" He yelled as his hands went to his head.
"Please just listen to me." I asked.
"WHAT!" He said as he rolled his head to the side glaring at me.
"Edward, you and I have been through a lot. I can not stand watching you self destruct yourself. This is killing me to watch, I understand why you think this is right but please. Just come with us, we can leave and not come back. Write her a letter or tell her in person but please come with us." I pleaded.
"Alice I have explained everything to you, you know what you have seen. Look again, has anything changed?" He challenged.
I looked again and everything was as it was before, the note saying where to find her, him leaning on a tree telling her lies, but now I saw him running. Running away from everything and everyone, he wasn't sure where he was going but he didn't care.
I sniffed quickly and looked him in the eyes. "No nothing has changed. Please remember that I..we all love you and we need you, please don't be gone long." I said as I laid my head on his chest.
He ran his fingers through my hair and kissed my forehead. "I will come back as soon as I can. You better get going, Rosalie is getting pissed and no one wants her angry since you have to sit in a car with her." He said as he sat up.
I looked him in the eyes one more time before hugging him as hard as I could. I smiled at him and ran out the door, down the stairs and out the door. I slammed the door behind me and saw Esme and Carlisle standing on the front steps.
"Oh Alice." Esme said as she hugged me.
"We will be leaving in a few hours. Just a few things to take care of around here first." Carlisle said as he looked at the house.
"Ok, see you up there." I whispered as I ran to the car and jumped in the back seat.
Emmett started the Jeep as he set off down the driveway. All of us looked back once or twice before the house disappeared.
Jasper took my hand in his and smiled slightly. I couldn't manage to smile back, everything was gone and I couldn't even fake a smile at that point. I put my head on his lap and laid down in the back seat.
I don't know how much time passed, no one said anything. Jasper continued to hold me, occasionally running his hands through my hair. I kept looking into the future, hoping that Edward would change his mind, maybe Carlisle would talk to him. No matter how much I looked everything stayed the same.
I had stopped looking, the pain cutting me in half, I couldn't handle it anymore. I decided to sit up and try to figure out where we were, and much to my surprise we were almost to Tanya's house.
"Alice?" I heard Rosalie say.
"Yes Rose?" I answered.
"I know that you two are the closest, is he going to be ok?" She sounded honestly concerned.
"I don't think so, I'm not sure. I can't see his future, he keeps changing things." I whispered.
"We're almost there, look you can see the house." Emmett said, the excitement in his voice.
I looked out the front window and saw the huge log house. I looked at Jasper and smiled slightly, I knew that staying here was only a temporary arrangement.
I closed my eyes one more time and focused on Edward. About 7 hours had passed since we left, I wasn't sure if he had talked to Bella yet. There wasn't any clarity with her when I focused on her, but when I focused on Edward I saw him running. I thought that he was somewhere in the south, maybe Louisiana or Texas.
I tried to make sense of this but I couldn't, why would he go south? Why go where there is more sun?
