Alice POV

Graduation day. It's the day that everyone looks forward to and the day that begins your new life in the new world; an initiation to adulthood. The only problem was:

I wasn't ready.

I had the best life already and I'm not ready to give it up. I have a loving and supporting family, great friends, and the best boyfriend whom I'm totally and completely in love with.

And now, all of that will be over because we are being separated; all of us going to colleges all over the country.

So here I am, sitting on the hard plastic fold-up chairs with all my classmates dressed in a blue graduation cap and gown, listening to the valedictorian's boring speech. Forks High didn't have a big student body, let alone seniors. Only 103 total students were graduating. All the parents were in the bleachers of the gym while all of us students were on the basketball court. There was a small stage built at the front of it all, where Edward was giving his speech.

No surprise there. My brother was always the smartest in all of his classes, so it was no shock that he was our valedictorian. I was hardly paying attention to his speech, thinking about the future.

What was going to happen? I'm going to be attending fashion college all the way in New York while Jasper was moving to his hometown in Texas to train for the army. It has always been his dream to join the corps. This was his chance and New York is mine. But how the hell am I supposed to go on with life without him by my side? I have yet to figure that out.

My mind snapped back to reality when Edward said his final words of his speech.

"So as we obtain our diplomas, let us venture out into the unknown and take the world on!" So like him to use big words.

Edward stepped off the pedestal on stage as everyone erupted in cheers. Row by row, we all stood up and formed a single file line, alphabetically. Edward took his place behind me.

"Great job on the speech Edward." I whispered.

He smirked. "Alice, I looked over to you many times and you had a dazed look on your face. You barely heard a word I said."

I giggled and shrugged. "Sorry."

We were all separated from who we wanted to be with most. Edward and I were in the front with the C's. Everyone thinks we're twins because we're in the same grade, but Edward is a year older. Esme wanted to hold Edward back a year so we started kindergarten the same year. Bella and Emmett where in the back with the S's; same situation. Bella is a year younger and Emmett got held back. Jasper and Rosalie were in the middle with the H's. Unlike us, they were twins. Jasper is exactly 2 minutes and 4 seconds older. We all met freshman year.

One by one, each person starting with the last name A walked up as their name was called to get their diplomas. Being a nervous wreck, I grabbed onto Edward for support as my balance shifted, making my feet jelly. I was next to be called.

I thought I had at least a minute, but before I could think, a loud voice came over the microphone.

"Alice Cullen"

Immediately, the crowd erupted in cheers. I could distinctly hear Jasper above them all. I smiled as I walked up on stage, shook hands with the principal while he gave me my diploma, and looked out to the crowd.

My eyes sought Jasper and right away, our eyes met. I gave him the best and brightest smile I could muster at that moment, then walked off stage.

"Edward Cullen"

I cheered for him as I returned to my seat. Edward stayed up on the stage while other students were called. Before I knew it, the familiar honey blonde mess of curls walked on stage as the principal spoke loud and clear.

"Jasper Hale"

I cheered my loudest as some people blew loud piercing whistles and air horns. This year, Jasper was our starring varsity quarterback who lead us to victory in the football championships, so I expected whistles and air horns. Just like me, Jasper's eyes found my own and gave me a huge toothy grin, as if saying we made it!

Following Jasper was the Greek goddess herself.

"Rosalie Hale"

Being head cheerleader, she got tons of whistles from lots of horny guys. I laughed hard as she winked at them, which made Emmett glare at those boys. Other people came and went, and soon we were down to just five more people.

"Bella Swan"

She got a few loud wolf whistles as well, the loudest coming from Mike Newton. Bella blushed at least three shades of red as she shook hands with the principal and tried walking without tripping over her gown. Before she could descend the stairs, Edward quickly walked up to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and captured her lips in a chaste kiss.

"Break it up!" shouted one of the teachers.

Edward reluctantly pulled apart from Bella, sporting a shit-eating grin on his face. He turned his gaze to Mike Newton, telling him that Bella was his and his alone.

"Emmett Swan"

And no surprise, got the loudest cheers of all. Being the varisty football wide-receiver, star of the baseball and basketball teams, alone with being the school clown, I wouldn't expect less.

Finally, the last students got off stage and Edward returned to the podium and cleared his throat.

"Let us all now move our tassels to show the world what we have achieved today!"

I moved my blue and white stringed tassel to my left as the crowd got to their feet and roared in applause and cheers. All the students stood and walked in a double file line out the gym doors to meet our parents and friends.

Being a Cullen, I was one of the first people out, so I waited impatiently for my Jasper to come out. Lots of people started filing out into a huge glob in the middle of the narrow hallway, and being barely 5 foot, Jasper would never be able to see me.

I started zig zagging my way through the crowd in an attempt to find him. A few seconds later, I bumped into someone.

"Sorry" I mumbled, looking up. "Bella!" I looked behind her. "Rose!"

We all engaged in a group hug and squeals.

"I can't believe we graduated!" I exclaimed.

"I can't believe I actually passed all my classes!" said an ecstatic Rosalie.

"I can't believe that Edward actually kissed me in front of everyone!" blushed Bella.

We all laughed, until I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I spun around to see the reason for my existence standing in front of me with a shy smile on his face.

"Jazz!" I squealed and threw my arms around his neck while he lifted me off my feet.

"I believe congratulations are in order, Miss Alice." I giggled. Jasper and his southern gentleman charm. I loved it when his southern twang seeped through his words.

My lips found his as we fought for dominance.

We heard a throat clear awkwardly. I groaned and reluctantly pulled away and slid down from Jasper's embrace and turned around. Carlisle and Esme were there, my mom having her arms outstretched. I flew into them.

"Congratulations honey!" She smiled, proudly.

I pulled away from her in time to see a solitary tear slide down her right cheek.

"Oh Esme, don't cry!" She always told me and Edward to call her Esme. She hates it when she's called mom. It makes her feel old. Same with Carlisle.

I jumped into my father's arms and he spun me around once and kissed my cheek.

"I'm so proud of you, Alice!"

I giggled then turned back to Jasper as he held out his arms for me again. I flew into them and hugged his torso tightly, letting the overdue tears fall.

He leaned down to my ear and whispered, "Do you want to get out of here?"

I nodded into his shirt, staining it with tears. My tears were a mix of joy and sadness. I could tell Jasper knew that I was deeply sad. He always had a knack for knowing my emotions.

He guided me out of the crowded hallway and into the parking lot. I removed my cap and stepped out of my gown, revealing my deep purple halter dress that dropped about five inches above my knees. We reached Jasper's sleek black Harley Davidson. He loved that thing, but I always had an overwhelming fear that he'd crash and die from it. But he assured me several times that it was completely safe. He even tried to teach me how to ride one once. That didn't turn out too well. All I remember was getting on, going for about a block, seeing a deer in the middle of the road, then walking up in the hospital a week later with a severe concussion and a broken arm. He felt so guilty, thinking it was his fault.

He helped me get on the back while he slid on in front of me. I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly, still not trusting this thing. He kicked the kickstand and we flew off.

In record time, we arrived at my house. Being the gentleman that he is, Jasper helped me off his motorcycle and we entered the house, or mansion I should say. Carlisle was a very successful doctor while Esme came from old money. We walked upstairs into my room and I set my cap and gown on the floor by my computer desk. I sat down on the bed and Jasper sat down next to me and swung his arm over my shoulders.

Without warning, the tears fell down my cheeks, fast. Jasper desperately wiped them away with his thumbs.

"Alice, what's wrong?" he asked.

I took a minute to calm down the sobs racking through my body.

"What's going to happen to us? My plane to New York leaves in two hours and I can't wait until Christmas break to see you again." I buried my face into the crook of his neck.

He wrapped his arms tightly around me and stroked my hair.

"Shh Alice. It's okay. We'll be okay."

I shook my head.

"How do you know?" I questioned. "Long distance relationships never work! Most of them don't survive for the first few months."

"Alice, we aren't like other people. We know we are meant for each other. Sure it may be hard, but we'll get through."

I pulled my head away from his neck to look into his eyes. They were burning with the truth of his words.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too, Alice, so so much. More than my own life." Jasper smiled.

Then his lips were on mine, passionate and loving. In soon, became heated as our lips parted and our tongue battled for dominance. I laid back on my bed with Jasper hovering over me.

He started to pull away, but I grabbed the collar of his polo. His eyes questioned me.

"Jasper, I'm ready." I said with confidence, no hint of doubt found in my voice.

His eyebrows pulled together. "Are you sure?"

I nodded and smiled. "I'm sure."

He leaned down over me once more and resumed where we left off.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Last call for Flight 157 to New York" someone spoke over the intercom.

I couldn't delay this goodbye anymore. Only Jasper was here to see me off.

I already said my goodbyes to my parents and Edward, Rosalie, Bella, and Emmett. Ironically, Rosalie and Bella's planes are boarding the same time mine was, so we couldn't all say goodbye to each other at the airports.

I looked over at Jasper, my fingers laced with his.

"That's me. I've got to go."

Jasper nodded then leaned down to kiss me passionately for the last time. I felt something wet on my cheeks. I opened my eyes to see tears streaming down his face. Jasper rarely cries. I've only seen him cry once, and that was when I woke up from the motorcycle accident. Seeing him cry made my waterworks start to flow.

"Goodbye, Jasper. I love you."

I started to pull away.

"No goodbyes. It's not a goodbye. I love you too, Alice."

I never broke eye contact as I handed my ticket and passport to one of the employees at the counter. Sadly, I walked through the doors. I could no longer see my Jasper. I boarded the plane and found my seat in first class.

"Thank you for choosing Port Angeles International Airlines. We are taking off as we speak and we should be arriving at our destination in New York in roughly 6 to 7 hours." the pilot stated over the intercom.

I looked out the window to see the ground get farther away and the airport get smaller and smaller.

Goodbye old happy life with Jasper.

Hello New York without Jasper.

And more tears started to fall as my heart crumbled to pieces.
