This thing that separates them is power hungry and will stop at nothing to have Alice and Edward. Re-write of "Love isn't always fair". A lot has changed so if you read it, expect a lot of changes :)
Alice POV
About a week ago I started to realize that Jasper was becoming more and more distant. I know we barley showed public affection, but when we were alone, it was a whole other story. I also noticed the distance growing between Edward and Bella, ever since he came back, they had been inseparable, until now that is. I wondered what was going on.
I started to mentally scold myself for being so suspicious. I trusted Jasper just as much as I trusted Bella. They would never hurt me; in fact they both loved me. I shook all the negative thoughts out of my head and made my way over to Bella's house.
Edward pulled in right next to me. "What brings you here?" he asked me.
"Oh, nothing, I just came over to take Bella shopping" I replied. He laughed at me.
"C'mon let's go inside" he said as he rang the doorbell. I was surprised to see it was Charlie who opened the door.
"Hey Charlie" I said smiling at him. He smiled at me and then turned to glare at Edward. Edward mumbled a hello.
"Bella's upstairs" Charlie finally said after a moment of silence, "why don't you kids go up?" I nodded and Edward was right behind me.
I could clearly hear Jasper's voice. What was he doing here? Edward stiffened right next to me and I gave him a questioning look. He opened the door and what I saw killed me on the inside. MY Jasper and MY BEST friend were making out on her bed. Edward cleared his throat. They both turned around to look at us and Bella was blushing madly.
"Why?" I managed to choke out. Edward was glaring at Jasper and it wasn't until Edward whispered "Are you alright?" into my ear that I realized that I was supporting my entire weight on him, like I was trying to stop myself from falling. I stood up straight and looked at Edward in the eye No, I'm not okay!! I screamed at him through my thoughts, How do you expect me to be okay, when I just found YOUR girlfriend making out with MY boyfriend.
Edward finally spoke breaking the silence that was killing me; I needed some sort of explanation. I wasn't worth it, I realized. That's why Jasper left me. He was with me until he found someone better. Edward growled at me and through gritted teeth he said "Never think that! Of course you are worth something!" His eyes were locked on Jasper and Jasper had his arms around Bella "How long? " Edward asked.
This time it was Bella who spoke, "Three weeks after your return" she said it so simply, like it was nothing.
"Oh" was all I managed to say. I need to get out of here, I told Edward. He simply nodded and then he opened the door for me and followed me.
Once I was in the safety of my car, I started to dry sob hysterically as I pulled out of the drive way.
I decided to end my life there. My life had no meaning without Jasper. Of to La Push, it was. I made it to the boundary line in less than 5 minutes. The werewolves would be more than happy to kill me. "I'm sorry" I whispered to Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, even Jasper, and Bella."I hope you will someday understand why I'm doing this." I saw the wolves on the other side waiting to see what I was going to do." I love you all" I whispered before exiting the car and making my way to the boundary line.
Jasper's POV
When Edward and Alice walked in, I pretended I didn't know this, hurting Alice and Edward was the only way to get them to back off. I altered Bella's emotions so that all she felt was love and lust. I was extremely grateful for my power. I sent a wave of embarrassment her way as soon as we had been discovered, so it looked like she was embarrassed, while all she was truly feeling was pain.
Each moment of silence brought a pang of pain, as I realized all the pain Alice must've been feeling. Alice had understood me, taken me in when no one else would. She'd loved me for all my flaws, and convinced me that I wasn't a monster. This was how I repaid her. Taking her heart and tearing it apart, even though I didn't want to. Bella and I were protecting Alice and Edward, I would do anything to keep Alice safe, even if it meant losing her, I'd watch her continue on with her life from afar, silently wishing it would be me, she said all the "I love you's" to.
The truth lay in her eyes, so much pain, betrayal, anger, rejection. I wrapped my arm around Bella's waist. We had been preparing for this moment, and I refused to let Edward get into my mind. Alice must've said something to Edward through her thoughts, because he nodded, opened the door and left. Alice looked up at me before she left; silently asking me to tell her this was all a lie.
I wanted to. I wanted to pick her up, spin her around, and proclaim my love for her, but I couldn't I'd put her in too much danger and I couldn't risk that. So I let her walk away, I wrapped my arms around Bella's waist a little bit tighter so that I wouldn't go running after Alice.
As soon as they were out of hearing distance, I pulled out my phone, and called the reason I had done this to Alice. "Hello?" I said.
"I've see, you've accomplished your mission" the voice said. "That's all I needed from you" and with that, they hung up. Bella started crying and even though I tried to calm her down, I couldn't because I felt just as upset and disgusted with myself as she did.
I was trying to come up with some explanation as to why I had done this to Alice, I knew I couldn't say "to keep you safe" because then I knew she'd come back to me, saying something like "we can fight this, as long as we're together."
I couldn't fight this person and I've had many years of experience. This person was stronger than the Volturi itself. The Volturi were siding with her, mainly because Aro had fallen in love, and that would make the fight twice as hard and she would end up hurt or dead. I couldn't allow that. I simply couldn't. I drove home really slowly trying to come up with an explanation that could make Alice believe I truly didn't want her.
There was only one other person that knew what was going on and that was Rosalie. She'd put all the pieces together since we couldn't tell her. When I walked in, she gave me a sympathetic look before having to pretend to be angry at me. If she had sided with me it would've been too suspicious.
It was bad enough she had to block her mind from Edward, if she hadn't everything would've been giving away. Alice was on the couch when I entered her eyes searching my face. I couldn't look at her for long though, I had killed her and know I would have to lie. Again. When she asked for an explanation, I didn't dare to look her in the eyes; she would've known I was lying.
When I had fully convinced her I didn't want her, all the sadness and rejection began to slowly fade, but it was replaced with anger. I sat there as she yelled at me. Underneath all the anger, I knew she still felt all the emotions she had felt previously. Rejection, betrayal, sadness, etc. and I couldn't do anything. I let her scream at me, knowing that it would help her get some of the anger and disappointment out of her.
Edward was beyond furious. He was yelling at me and I never said anything. What could have I said. I suddenly understood everything he went through when we had to leave Forks and head back to Alaska. It had been less painful for him because he didn't have to see her. The memories still haunted him. It hurt so much right now to even look at Alice. II knew it would hurt much more if one day she ever fell in love again, but if it meant keeping her safe, then fine, I'd pay the cost.
