Finally, I was on my way to Forks. In… The Beast.
I was mostly silent on the ride there, thinking about Alice. Elizabeth kept staring at Jacob, and, oblivious, he just watched the road. Everyone seemed to be in their own little world.
Forks was even smaller than I imagined.
"So, where should I drop ya?" Jacob asked me. Where? I don't know.
"Do you know Alice Cullen?"
Silence.
"Cullen?" Jacob asked. "Cullen…" He said darkly. "Nope. I think you're in the wrong town, sir. I better take you back to… Where are you from?"
But I knew she was in Forks. "I know the Cullens live here, you can just drop me off here." I said calmly. I wasn't giving up on Alice. I don't know what he had against her or her family, but I don't care.
"No." Jacob replied sternly. "You are wrong. The Cullens don't exist here, and you should just get out of here while-"
"JACOB! Stop! This is so immature!" Elizabeth interrupted with a very, very angry look on her face. Those deep brown eyes held a fury. "Jasper, I'm afraid I cannot tell you where the Cullens live, but I can tell you that Edward and Emmet are still in high school. We will take you there. No problem. Right Jacob?"
Jacob grumbled something and kept driving. He wanted to say more, but Elizabeth had a tight hold on him, and wasn't going to let him slip.
I don't know what is going on with this town, but I don't think I like it. And for the record, I didn't see many signs on the way here, other than the one Jacob so politely pointed out to me back at the reservation.
Finally, we arrive at the high school, a small, gloomy looking building. How am I going to find someone to help me find Alice here? A high school? She works at a bar for crying out loud.
I told Carlisle of my premonition. I told him everything, and all he could say was "Well, what do you think you should do?"
ME? What I can do? What I can do is leave Jasper so he doesn't get hurt! Avoid the situation entirely!
"Or, you could be a man about it and protect him." Edward smirked.
"Edward, this is serious. Stay out of my freaking head." I grumbled back to him.
"It's not like I try to read your thoughts. You're just a very loud thinker."
Loud thinker? Whatever, I don't even think that is possible. And I don't care. I need to figure out what hurt Jasper, and what I can or cannot do. I haven't stopped thinking about him. I am too afraid to go see him, incase whatever hurts him is following me. But Edward has kept me updated. But he isn't very detail oriented these days. Bella is here and that takes up most of his free time.
"Sis," Edward cooed softly to me, "I am just trying to help you. Whatever hurt Jasper in your vision could possibly be prevented by you, where was the vision?" He asked me about the vision. I hate that. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about Jasper being covered in blood and dying.
But I knew Edward was right, the more details of the vision, the better. Maybe I could figure this out.
Maybe I can be with him.
Maybe.
A/N This took forever, but I decided to revisit this story before starting one of my own, I'm sorry you guys. I don't know if anyone still keeps up with this or not. In the next chapter, Alice revisits the vision in full detail, and Jasper begins to find out more than he wanted about the Cullens.
