AHHH THE EPILOGUE!!!!! I"M GONNA CRY :'(
i don't own anything!
---------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations, class of '09." Said the announcer as the group of, well over 250, High School student graduates threw their hats into the air. There was a mix of people screaming and cheering, yelling, hugging, crying, and kissing. Everyone was excited to start there lives and go to family businesses to start working, or to go off to a local college, or even quite a few students were going off to Universities hundreds to thousands of miles away.
Alice found Jasper in all of the commotion, since they were separated in the seating order because his last name started with 'W' and hers started with 'C'. She hugged him with a big smile on her face. "God, I cant believe we are officially graduated."
"I know." He said holding her tight, then finally letting go. She noticed Bella behind Jasper crying. Alice walked up to her.
"Bells, what's wrong?"
Bella sniffled and started sobbing again, just like the many girls all around. Crying because them and their boyfriend were going to be separated or because they wouldn't be able to see their closest friends in forever, or because they had to move miles away from their family, or that they just weren't ready to leave high school… not just yet. "I'm not going to see you everyday."
"What are you talking about, the school you're going to is like 5 miles away from U of U." Alice said with confusion.(like i said couldnt think of college)
Bella continued to cry as she shook her head. "No…" was all she could get out.
Alice's stomach dropped. She knew she had to deal with Emmett and Rosalie going to colleges far away and Edward, sure she thought he was cool and all, but it didn't completely break her heart to find out he wasn't going to a nearby school. Jasper, she already knew was coming with her and she planned on Kelsi coming to a nearby school and that's wht they were going to do, but she guessed the plans had changed. "No? no you're not coming to Utah?"
Bella shook her head and calmed herself before she continued. "I didn't tell you that I had also gotten into University of Alaska."
"Oh my god, you got in?!" Alice said excitedly.
"Yeah… and you know how much I wanted to go there…"
"Yea, why didn't you tell me?!"
"Because, I didn't want you to be mad at me when I told you that I accepted." Bella said looking down. Jasper looked at the two girls and decided to speak for the first time. "I'm going to go look for Edward and Emmett, find me when your done." He said kissing her temple before walking away.
Alice gave her a sad look. "Bells, there is no way I would ever be mad at you for going to a school you want so much to get into." Bella smiled at her. "I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks Ali, you're the best." She said pulling her friend into a hug.
"I'm just going to miss you."
"Me too, but we will get together on all vacation times and call all the time." Bella said as they pulled away.
"Deal." Alice said giving her a teary smile.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Alice jumped at the sound of her ring tone and was brought out of her thoughts. Alice looked through her purse and picked up her cell phone. "Hello."
"Hey Pixie, what's up?"
"Oh, hey JellyBelly; you finally called at the right time." Alice said teasingly.
"Hey," Bella protested. "That only happened once." She said referring to the time she called Alice's cell phone while she was in class and they were in the middle of taking an exam. Everyone looked at her and she, embarrassed, quickly turned off her phone off.
"Uh-huh."
"Oh hush women, so how's life at U of U?"
"Bella, you ask me that every time you call me…" Alice said walking out of the large building she had just had her previous class in and out into the outside campus.
"What?… I just want to know. I'm so happy for you, you got into your dream college and the best part is, is that your boyfriend goes to the same college, you get to see each other every day .
Alice smiled at that fact. "Yea, yea… so how's Edward?" Bella laughed automatically, "What?" Alice asked, questioning her outburst of laughter.
"Ohhh nothing… but he's doing really good."
Alice smiled. "That's good, I hate that I don't get to see you guys that much anymore." She said sadly.
"I know, but that's how it has to go for right now; soon we'll be graduated and we'll get jobs, and get married and live in huge houses across the street from each other." Bella said daydreaming.
"That's a nice picture you've painted there, for yourself Bella."
"I know."
Alice laughed lightly. "Well I have to go, but I'll talk to ya later, ok?"
"M'kay, buh-bye."
"Bye." Alice closed her phone as she saw Jasper walk up to her. Jasper smiled and gave her a quick kiss then took the few books she was carrying out of her hands to carry himself. "Jazz, you don't have to do that." She said gesturing to her books.
He smiled. "I know, but I want to."
They continued to walk towards her dorm building as she thought about her conversation she had just had with Bella. She was right, she was lucky to get into U of U. Plus she was lucky enough that Jasper had wanted to go to U of U and had also been accepted. She had remembered the day Jasper and her had found out that they had been accepted into the school. Alice had pretended that she was rejected and Jasper was automatically upset that she hadn't gotten in, but then she finally told him the truth; that she had been accepted, she laughed so hard.
A smile slowly spread across Alice's face through the memory. Jasper looked over at her and noticed it. He smiled too. "What?"
She looked at him and questioned the same, in a giggly voice, "What?"
"Why do you have a goofy smile across your face?" Jasper asked trying not to laugh.
Alice shrugged still smiling. "I don't know… I was just thinking about the day we got accepted into here."
"You mean the day you lied to me and made me feel bad that I had gotten accepted and you didn't?"
Alice laughed. "I was just joking… I'm here aren't I?"
"Mmm hmm." Jasper said as they continued to walk to her dorm building.
----------------------------------------
Rosalie smiled when she saw Alice's name flash up on her caller ID. "Hey girl."
"Hey Rose, how are you?" Alice asked waving 'hi' to her room mate, Nicole; who waved back happily, as her and Jasper walked into the small dorm.
"I'm doing good; I just got a letter from Emmett."
"A letter?" Alice and Jasper walked into her room and shut the door. Jasper took the bag of chips off her desk, sat in her computer chair, and started eating them.
"Yea, Chad got grounded from all calling sources and isn't allowed to IM anyone either or email, so this no calling or no contact thing is going to last a while so we have to resort to writing each other because I can't drive two states over to visit him everyday."
"How do you get grounded when you're in college? My parents are so weird. And that's true about the driving thing, gas prices are so high."
"Yea, and the grounding thing is a long story, lets just leave it at, that Emmett is an idiot."
"Totally understandable." Alice said smiling, "I hope you have fun with writing back and forth with your idiot boyfriend- Stop It!"
Rosalie made a confused face. "Stop what?"
Alice laughed. "No, I was talking to Jasper. He keeps throwing chips at me." 'Hi Rosie' Rosalie heard in the background knowing it was Jasper who said it, she just laughed. "Don't encourage him!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Rosalie said trying to keep herself from laughing at Alice's annoyance. "I got to go, my room mate's back and we're going to go out for lunch… you know to get to know each other."
"Rose, you've been in college and living with your room mate for, three and a half months. You haven't had any time during then to bond?"
"Nope…" Rosalie said
Alice shook her head, but smiled. "Okay, have fun. Bye."
"Thanks, bye."
"Finally." Jasper said as soon as she shut her phone.
She gave him a look as she gestured for him to come sit next to her on the bed. "Finally what?"
Jasper put the chips down and laid on the bed, half on top of her. "I can see you without that phone glued to your ear." He said kissing her softly.
Alice smiled once they pulled away. "I like talking to my friends."
Jasper didn't respond, he continued to kiss her, then pulled away. "Mhhmm, you taste like strawberries."
Alice giggled. "Yea, well you taste like sun chips. Not very appealing, mister."
"Well your gonna have to deal." He said capturing her lips once again.
"I'm not complaining." She replied breathlessly, between a quick break to catch their breath before continuing.
------------------------------------------------
"Hello." Alice said as she picked up her phone.
"Hey Shortie."
Alice smiled. "Hey Bells, what's up?"
"So much since I talked to you last week and it's like big!"
"Ok, spill."
"Okay, but first- how's life at U of U?"
"I'm gonna hang up on you."
Bella laughed. "I'm sorry, I was just messing with you."
"what's the big news?" Alice questioned.
"Oh, I cant tell you."
"What? Why cant you tell me?" Alice asked really wanting to know what it was she had to tell.
"Well, I mean I can tell you, but not now." Bella tried to explain.
Alice huffed. "And why not?"
"Because it's too big to tell you over the phone." Bella said more serious this time.
Alice sat up on her bed. "Bells, is everything okay?" she asked concerned.
"I just need you to come here real soon." Bella said quietly.
"W-when? Do you want me to come now? I can catch a plane or something." Alice said slightly falling into a panic mode, wondering what was wrong with her best friend.
"Um, could you come tomorrow there should be a plane that leaves from the Salt Lake airport in the morning."
"Of course, and tomorrows Friday, I have no classes on Friday.. Oh and I'll bring Jasper."
"Yea, I forgot to tell you to bring him."
"I will, well I'm going to go and pack since we'll probably just stay with you the entire weekend." Alice said standing up and putting her flip-flops on.
"That will be perfect; I'll email you the address of where you need to go once you get here."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
Alice flipped her phone shut and put it in the back pocket of her shorts and walked out of her room. "Hey Nicole." she said waving at her room mate.
"Hey Alice, you leaving?" Nicole asked turning off the TV and opening her laptop.
"Yea, just for a little bit. I'll be back later, but I'm leaving for Alaska tomorrow morning and will be back Sunday night; just so you know."
Phoebe nodded. Alice gave her a smile then walked out of the room.
She made her way down the hall and waved at a few girls that she new and made friends with the walked out of the dorm building. Alice walked across campus to one of the boys dorm buildings. She went up to the third floor and knocked on the oak door that had gold numbers carved into it. A tall boy with black long shaggy hair and brown eyes opened the door. "Hey Jake."
"Hey Ali, you here for Jasper?"
"Yea, I know he's still in class, but can I wait in here with for him?"
Jacob opened the door wider and stepped to the side. "Yea, you know you're always welcome here."
Alice smiled. "Thanks."
She sat on the couch and looked at the TV and noticed some weird figures on the screen. "Umm are you playing a game?"
Jacob got two sodas out of the mini fridge and handed one to her. "Thanks."
"You're welcome and yes, I'm playing a game. You wanna play?"
Alice laughed like it was a joke. "What." He asked her.
"Jake, I have no idea how to plays these games. You guys could sit here and play them all day, but I don't even know how to make the 'thing' move." she said pointing at the bulgy character on the screen.
"I can teach you."
------------------------------------------------
Jasper opened the door and laughed at what he saw. Alice was holding the remote controller. Both her and Jacob moving their hands all over the place. She had a look on her face, but you couldn't really tell if she was trying to concentrate or if she was just annoyed. A loud exploding sound came from the TV and in big red letters 'Game Over' flashed up on the screen. Alice looked at Jacob. "What happened?"
"You died."
"How did I die?" She asked confused.
"Well for 1) I killed you and 2) your head is missing and so you think that would have something to do with it." Jacob said smiling.
Alice sat there and thought about it then scoffed and threw the controller to the ground and stood up. "Whatever, you are such a loser."
"Excuse me, you're the one who lost." Jacob said teasingly. "So technically you're the loser."
Alice mocked him and made a face. "That's not fair. I wanna have a shopping contest with you."
"Hey, you went for my weak point." Jacob said defensively.
"Video games is mine!"
Jasper decided he should cut in. "Okay you two, Jake you're good at games and Ali, you're amazing at shoppinh. Lets not kill each other."
"Why do I get a great and she gets an amazing?"
Jasper rolled his eyes and drug her to his room with him. "Next time Cullen." Jacob yelled.
"You got it Black."
Jasper pulled her in and shut the door. "Well, that was interesting." Jasper said dropping his bag by the door.
Alice laughed. "Yes, but anyways are you free this weekend?"
"What do you have in mind." Jasper asked standing in front of her.
"Well, Bells wants me to come see her, I think something might be wrong. So I'm going to go up there tomorrow and stay until Sunday."
Jasper raised his eyebrow. "Alaska?"
"Yea and she asked me to bring you too… would you come?" She asked hopeful.
Jasper smiled and brushed her grown out bangs behind her ear. "Of course I'll go with you. It'd be nice to see her and catch up a little."
A smile spread across her face. "Thanks Jazzy!" She stood up and hugged him.
"You're welcome."
----------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my god, I need to get off this plane." Alice said holding her head.
"Well then it's a good thing that we're landing." Jasper said rubbing her back.
"Yea."
--
The taxi pulled up in front of a huge hotel. "I thought we were meeting Bella." Jasper said stepping out of the car and helping the driver get their bags out of the trunk.
"We are, this was the address she gave me." She said rechecking the location.
Jasper grabbed his bag and Alice's. "Well lets go inside and see what they say."
"Do you need help?" Jasper shook his head so they went inside. Alice went up to the front desk, "Hello, may I help you?"
"Hi, is there someone staying here under the name Isabella Swan?"
The lady got on her computer and looked up the name. "May I ask what your name is?"
"Uhh, Alice, Alice Cullen." She said playing nervously with one of her rings on her finger.
"Yes, here is a room key for you. You're on the top floor. Eric will take your bags and take you up to your room."
Alice took the card not really understanding. "Thanks."
The two teens followed Eric to the elevator. Once on the top floor, they walked down the hall and Alice noticed someone who looked very familiar. She looked at the boy closer and then she knew it. "Edward!"
"Alice!" Edward said hugging her tight.
"Oh my god, I haven't seen you in months." Alice said happy to see one of her best friend.
Edward took an overall look at her once the pulled apart. "You look great."
"Thanks, you too."
"Hey Jasper." Edward said nodding to him.
Jasper smiled. "Hey, so what are we doing up here?"
Edward shrugged. "No one really knows. Bella was waiting for you two to come before she said anything."
Eric had already taken their bags to the room and they walked away. "Thank you." Alice called after him.
"Come on you two." Edward said leading them in a room.
"Oh wow, this place is huge."
"It looks like a mini house." Alice said looking around.
"Cookies!! They have cookies, I love cookies so much!!" yelled a voice from a different room.
Alice crinkled her eyebrows. "Is that?…"
Edward sighed. "… yes."
Alice and Jasper walked into a different room which seemed to be the kitchen where none then other, Emmett was standing at the bar with a pack of cookies
"Jasper, my man." Emmett said hesitant to leave the cookies while he went and hugged Jasper and then Alice. "Hey there little sis."
"Hi Em." Alice said smiling.
Jasper sat down at the bar with Emmett while he went maniac on the cookies. Alice left the kitchen and went in another room where she found Bella and Rosalie. All three girls screamed and squealed as they exchanged hugs. They settled down on the couch and waited for someone to say something. Alice finally broke the silence, "So, Emmett really likes cheese."
"Yea… one of many weird obsessions." Rosalie said nodding.
"You have no idea" Alice mumbled. Edward came in and sat down next to Bella. Emmett and Jasper walked in from the kitchen and sat down next to Alice. Emmett stuck a piece in Bella's face, "Want some?"
She quickly shook her head a pushed his hand away from her face. "That's okay Emmett."
"So, what was the need for this big gathering… what was the big news?" Alice questioned.
All eyes focused on Bella. "Well, actually I-"
"Oh my god, you're pregnant aren't you?" Rosalie asked panicking.
"What?!" Edward asked now freaking out too.
"NO! I am not pregnant." A sigh of relief was let out from the others. "As I was saying, there no big news."
"What, but on the phone…"
"I lied, I just said that so you guys would come up here and so we could get together."
Alice pushed her hair back out of her face. "Why didn't you just say so, instead of making us worry about you?"
"Because you guys wouldn't have came as fast." Bella said.
"Yes we would have." Alice said leaning across and hugging Bella. Sharpay joined and so did Edward and Jasper. Emmett continued to eat his cheese until Rosalie hit him in the back of the head. He moaned and looked at his bag of cookies and then at his friends. He sat the bag on the coffee table and joined them in the group hug.
"Even though we are scattered all over the country, we'll all be best friends and together forever." Bella said.
"Can I have my cookies now?" Emmett whined.
