Shattered

Five

-Alice's Point of View-

. . .

I keep reliving the day I had the most horrible vision of my life.

...

I have the vision, the picture frame falls from my hands and Jasper picks it to reveal a perfect symbol of our marriage, broken.
...

I have loved Jasper Whitlock since the day he walked into the diner back in 1948.

He was a strange and intriguing being and I knew from that point on I would be in his life forever, and he would be in mine forever, better yet I had seen it in a vision.

Oh and how much better that vision was.

Now I find myself sitting in my new room staring up at the ceiling knowing fully well Jasper is in his own bedroom upstairs.

He is hurting, but no where near as much as me.

From the moment I had the vision of him falling in love with another girl I knew that I had to remove myself from the equation. So I told him I was going to ask for a divorce. Of course he assumed it was because of someone else and when I said yes he naturally assumed I meant another guy.

I shook my head and smiled a little, silly boy, as if I could love another as much as I've loved him.

When I said yes that there was in fact another person it was because I saw him truly happy in the arms of another GIRL, in a way I've never even seen him happy.

I know with time I will move on and maybe even find my own pure happiness, but for now I will sit back and watch as Jasper embraced this new path in his life.

I got up and went to leave my room. When my hand made contact with the door knob I froze as a vision suddenly hit me:

...

'Jasper smiles as he helps the girl, she smiled in return and it's then that they first lay eyes on each other, it is in that very moment that they fall in love with each other but they are too wrapped up in other emotions to notice at the time. But from that moment on Jasper will always remember everything about that day, the way her hair fell past her shoulders, the glint in her eyes, the slight sway of her dress with every movement, the curve of her smile, every light freckle on her cheeks. It's the moment the girl becomes obsessed and can't get him out of her mind. True Love.'
...

I pull out of my vision slightly out of breath and panting.

I don't need air but in that moment I found my chest tightening as my body wanted to double over.

In an instant Edward is in my room and by my side.

"Damn it Alice, why won't you just tell him already?" He growls as he holds my now rocking frame.

If I could cry I would be sobbing.

"He will meet her today." I confess sadly.

"You can't keep doing this to yourself." Edward sighed as he rubbed my back, "if you've seen it, it's going to happen, why don't you get out of the house for a while?"

"I'm going to have to learn to deal with it eventually."

"Eventually, but not today, it's still too soon for you." He responded in his usual brotherly fashion. "Now go, I'm going to need a new school wardrobe to accommodate this Texas heat."

"That's true." I sadly agreed. "I suppose I should get everyone a new wardrobe while i'm at it."

He nodded, "maybe Renesme would like to go."
