Chapter 4

As we exited the class, Jasper hadn’t taken off, but instead followed me. So here he was, drilling questions into me. “Are you happy with your Dad’s promotion? With leaving Arizona?” he asked as we both walked to my locker. I quickly imputed the combination and opened it, dumping most of my books into it. I had my own questions; why was he asking me so many curious?

“No,” was my answer as I stared directly at him. I guess he knew I was still wondering why he was asking so many questions, because his next comment was more of an explanation.

“I’m sorry,” ha apologized, “it’s just that I’m trying to figure you out. You’re very difficult for me to read.

‘Difficult for him to read?’ I asked myself mentally. ‘Is he, like, psychic or something? He’s staring to freak me out!’

“Hey,” I piped, “did you get contacts?” I squinted at his face; yup, his eyes were different than the last time I had seen him. Weird.

“No,” he replied rather sharply. Just a simple no.

“Your eyes are black,” I pointed out. “The last time I saw you there were, like, golden brown.” I blinked repeatedly; maybe my eyes were playing a trick on me?

“No,” he said again. I guessed he liked that word. “It’s, uh, the fluorescents.” And then, Jasper suddenly wheeled around and stalked off in the opposite direction. I watched him retreat. That was weird and unexpected…

I walked out of school and glanced to the sky. It was cloudy, as always, and threatened to rain. I shrugged to myself; when wasn’t it raining in Forks? I walked to my mom’s Porsche and popped in my iPod, letting the music was over me.

My eyes darted to Jasper, who was on the other side of the parking lot. Many people were between us, yet his eyes stayed only on me as he stood next to a shiny silver Volvo, waiting for his siblings.

I let my attention wander from him, and I turned to find my car keys. Then, I heard the panicked scratch of protesting brakes above the song blaring in my ears. I turned just in time to see a large van heading straight towards me. It was going to hit me. I was going to die.

'Goodbye, Mom, Dad, Cynthia. I love you.'

And then as I squinted in fear, unable to take my eyes off the quickly approaching car, I felt an arm wrap around me. I looked to whoever was stupid enough to die with me. It was Jasper, and I gasped. How had he gotten there so fast!? Wasn’t he all the way across the parking lot?

His hand flew out as if he cold stop the incoming van, and surprisingly it did stop. I fought down a scream, panting heavily, and stared at him in horror. I was so going to question him about that. Super strength? Super speed? Last time I checked most people didn’t have those powers.

Just as I opened my mouth, he pulled his hand from the dent his hand had created in the side of the car and jumped over the small crevice between the Porsche and the van. At that sight, I breathed a sigh of relief for the car as well. Mom would have killed me if her Porsche was hurt.

I stood up slowly, trying to slow my panicked breathing, and leaned against the car. Everyone was staring at me.

“Oh my gosh, Alice,” a voice cried, sounding a bit too much like Jessica for my liking. “Are you okay?” I nodded dazedly.

“Alice, I’m so sorry!” the van’s driver exclaimed, and as he stuck out his head, I recognized him as Tyler, another boy I had met on my first day of school.

“Are you alright, Alice?” another person asked. I didn’t reply; their voices became a blur, just like the masses of people around the accident. Instead, I stood and let my eyes fall on the Cullens. Wide eyes and horrified, Bella and Edward dropped their umbrellas and ran. Literally, they disappeared in blurs. Emmett and Rosalie followed, their jaws dropped in what I could only describe as horror. Jasper had just done something really bad.

“Alice,” my dad called, his voice unusually anxious, “are you okay!?” I nodded absently, though I knew he couldn’t see me yet. Mom probably hadn’t been notified yet, and Cynthia was still in school. No reason to pull her out, right? I was just in the hospital.

Dad appeared from around the curtain that separated me and Tyler, whowas also being treated, from prying eyes. In his eyes was worry and concern. I really wasn’t hurt…

“You and I are going to talk,” Dad threatened Tyler before be turned to me. “You alright?”

“I am fine, Dad,” I told him. “Calm down.” I was tired of everyone asking me the same questions. I looked fine, right? I mean, Tyler’s head was bleeding!

“Alice,” said boy called out, “I tried to stop.”

I nodded. “I know,” I replied quietly. “It’s okay.”

“No, Alice!” dad barked. “It’s not okay. You could have been killed! Do you understand that?” Of course I did! But I didn’t die, so it was okay.

“Yes.” I whispered once more, sighing uselessly.

“You can kiss you license goodbye,” Dad told Tyler. I rolled my eyes. At that time, the doors opened, and in came a man with yellow blonde hair and a well-sculpted face. He was really tall, and extremely pale. I only assumed he was Dr. Carlisle, the father of the Cullens. I had to admit, if they were related, I could totally see where they all got their good looks from. Most women would die for the man before me.

“I heard the Chief’s daughter is here,” he said, approaching my Dad and me. He glanced at the clipboard attached to my bed and nodded to himself.

“You took quite a spill,” he acknowledged, and I nodded silently. “How do you feel?” His eyes darted from me to the clipboard and in them I saw the same gold color that had been in Jasper’s eyes the first time I saw him. Odd. If they weren’t even related, then why…?

“Fine,” I replied, and he pulled out a small flashlight, clicking it on before holding up an elegant finger.

“Look here,” he said, and I trained my eyes on his finger. He shined the flashlight to check how both of my eyes reacted, which would tell if I had a concussion.

“You might experience some potentate stress of disorientation,” he admitted. “But your vitals are good. You‘ll be fine.” With that, the light switched off, and Tyler’s voice wafted to my ears, another apology. Dad growled and pulled the curtain around my bed shut.

“It would have been a whole lot worse if Jasper wasn’t there,” I said, watching Carlisle for his reaction.

“Jasper? Your boy?” Dad asked the doctor. Wrong person. Carlisle seemed to know how to restrain himself quite well.

“Yeah,” I answered Dad’s question. If that didn’t get Carlisle to react… “He was so fast; he wasn’t even near me.”

“Sounds like you were very lucky,” Carlisle said, smiling just a bit too kindly. “You’re free to go.” Then, be beckoned Dad. While the two conversed, I hopped off my bed, smiling as my feet gracefully hit the floor, and walked out of the room. Walking out of the waiting room and around the corner, I heard a chorus of beautiful voices arguing in hushed voiced, and I listened, trying to keep hidden behind the corner.

“This isn’t just about you,” a girl hissed, and when I peered over to the group, I recognized her as Rosalie. “It’s about all of us.” She stood with Jasper and Emmett, her arms crossed and her lips pursed into a beautifully livid expression. Then, all three of them turned to me. I thought I was sneakier than that…

“What do you want?” Jasper asked as he made his way over to me. Rosalie rolled her eyes and grabbed her boyfriend’s arm, tugging him out of sight angrily. Alright then…

“How did you get over to me so fast?” I asked, ignoring both his rudeness and his sister’s anger. I wanted to know what he did, and how he did it. After all, I was a curious girl.

“I was standing right next to you, Alice,” he said. What a lie! I had seen him.

“No,” I argued. “You were next to the Volvo across the lot.” Apparently, this amused him.

“No, I wasn’t,” was his reply, accompanied with nervous laughter. As if he expected me to change my mind just because he found it funny.

“Yes, you were.”

“Alice,” Jasper whispered, leaning in closer, “I think you’re confused.”

“I know what I saw,” I said. Jasper smirked.

He asked, “And what exactly was that?”

“You stopped the car!” I exclaimed. “You pushed it away with your hand.”

“Well, nobody’s going to believe you,” Jasper said finally, too annoyed with my persistence to deny the miracle he had caused anymore.

“I wasn’t going to tell anyone,” I said, and his eyes widened. “I just need to know the truth.”

“Can’t you just thank me and get over it?” Jasper asked, recovering from his surprise.

“Thank you.” I said quickly, hoping an explanation would follow. It didn’t.

“You’re not gonna let go, are you?” he asked. What did he think?

“No.”

”In that case, I hope you enjoy your disappointment.” Jasper said, turning and stalking away from me. I knew I would find the truth, even if he wasn’t the one to tell me. Somehow…
