I ran out of the tunnel into the main part of the sewer where everyone was and ran right passed them, I ran beside Jeremy and Robert but as soon as I noticed I kicked it into high gear. I wonder what will happen, but today I’m not gonna cheat. I am not going to look to see if he forgives me o not. I’m leaving it to fate. We didn’t find another like Renesmee, but I did find another hole in my heart. te know those weird coffee mugs that say “I left my cuore in San Francisco”? Yeah well I left my cuore in Forks Washington and with Jasper Cullen. I just decided on something. I’m not a Hale o Cullen anymore. I’m a Brandon. I’m Mary Alice Brandon and until Jasper forgives me that’s how it will stay. If he doesn’t forgive me, well, I’ll be Mary Alice Brandon forever. I kept running. Jasper’s not that far from me now. Maybe I could take a little peek. He got up from the ground and started walking. He’s debating whether o not he should go home o go get me. I want him to do the secondo one but, it’s not my decision to make. It’s his. He’s been fighting over the same thing for a while now. I slowed to a walk. I don’t want to get to him too quickly. I want to know what I’m going to say when I do catch up with him. Instead of me picking things to say, domande ran through my mind. Why did he say I was lying? Because I was laughing? That wasn’t funny but it was so weird on how quickly he thought I left him that I couldn’t help it and that idiot was trying to attach his left arm to his right shoulder, that was funny. I would never leave him, doesn’t he know that o did I break all the trust he had? Should I have fought Jeremy instead of baciare him? Would that have gotten Jasper out of his trance? I don’t think so. I did try it but he didn’t even move. Maybe I didn’t try long enough. I went right for plan B. How could I do that? I needed to try everything before I put any other plan into action. Did I listen to myself? No. I usually do, not today, not this week.
Not when I reminded Jasper of Bella’s birthday party, not when I tried to kill Charlotte, and definitely not when I kissed Jeremy instead of ripping him to shreds. Maybe I should check on him again. I sat on the nearest log and closed my eyes to focus harder, but I didn’t have to focus long. “Hi Alice.” I opened my eyes got to my feet and looked him dead in the face. I don’t think he liked what he saw. Did I look horrible? I hope so, maybe if I look bad enough he will listen to me. After I calmed myself I looked down ashamed and sat back on the log. “Hi.” I wasn’t happy. I wanted to get him, not him get me. It might have been better if I got him. “Alice? I wanted to let te explain again. Maybe I miss read your face. te just looked happy instead of hurt like I thought te would.” “I was happy Jasper.” “Why? Because te kissed that fool? o because te liked to see me hurt?” “Neither.” He lifted me off the log put me down and looked me in the eyes. “Then why were te so happy?” I didn’t even need to think about it. “Because te woke up Jasper! Because te moved, te didn’t listen to his little game! Plus I was happy because te ripped that fool to shreds.” I didn’t smile. I put my head back down. I didn’t deserve to have him, well, not anymore. I still wish I didn’t baciare Jeremy. “Alice. That’s your reason? That’s all? te were happy to see me?” That fool! Of course but maybe he would still leave me. Maybe he wouldn’t believe me again. I looked at him. “Of course that’s my reason. That’s my only reason, I was laughing because I could see over your shoulder and I could see that idiot trying to put himself together again, too bad te didn’t set him on fire.” He let go of me and I sat down again and watched him. He looked at me surprised. I don’t see why though. I detto the same thing I did when he held my throat. “You wanted me to burn him?” “Of course! Why wouldn’t I? Didn’t te see me slap him o anything?” “Yes I was watching. I don’t know I just, some people slap there husbands and then they apologize and they start baciare so, whatever. But te told me to watch te so I did. I didn’t like what I saw.” I tried something else on him. Just to make him understand better. “Jasper? What were we doing when we left home?” “We left so we could do whatever we could to save our family.” “Right. Now what did I do a few hours ago?” “You kissed that fool and te claim te did that just to save me from his stupid little mind game.” “Exactly! I did what I had to, to save you! That was the only way I could see how!” “No.” “What do te mean no?” “No.” “You still don’t believe me do you?!” “Not really.” “Fine.” I got up and walked away.
“Alice? Where are te going?” Me leaving him is going to kill me but I’ll endure it. “I’m going to the Volturi. Maybe with any luck they are still in Volterra.” I kept walking without looking back at him he matched my pace but he stayed behind me. “What? Are te going to kill yourself?” he scoffed. “I was tempted to do that, but why waste my talent? I’m going to unisciti them!” He stopped. Then started walking again. “Alice? You’re not serious are you?” “I’m as serious as te when te detto te didn’t believe me!” “Why?” “Why wouldn’t I? I might as well. I can’t go home because they’re going to want to know what happened to te and I can’t tell Bella that te left me. They would blame me because I would have to tell them what happened. I can’t stay with Katrina and her sisters because I’m going to make everything worse for them when everything got better. So I planned in the tunnel after te left to give up everything. Everything I believe in, everything I love, and even my name. So don’t call me Alice! It’s Mary now. Aro is going to have to call me that too. I’m letting my eyes turn blood red and I’m going to help them everyway I can. If I have to I’ll be like Heidi and fetch breakfast, lunch, and dinner.” He stopped again but I kept going. Why should I care what he does? It’s not my fault he has too big of an empty skull to realize when someone is telling the truth.
I suppose it’s final now. I have separated from him, I’m no longer attached. I know he hears it in my voice. My final command. I started running. I’m almost in Volterra. I stopped, now that I was far enough away from him, I can get it out of my system before I unisciti them. I sat down on the ground and I started to sob, seems to be the story of my life now, ever since we started this journey I’ve cried almost everyday. “I can’t believe he’s gone. I should have tried harder. It wouldn’t have done any good though.” I started talking to myself, well; I thought I was talking to myself. “All this because I didn’t believe you? Well, I believe te now. Do te want to come with me Mary? I still Amore you, I never stopped. I just thought te stopped loving me. So I left. So Mary do te want to come with me?” I looked up. Was he joking? “That’s not funny.” “I wasn’t trying to be.” I held out my hand and he helped me up. “ My name’s Alice and I never stopped loving te either. So let’s go, but before we go. Answer this. Will te believe me In the future?” “You tell me.” “I’ll take that as a yes. Now let’s go. We have a lot of time to make up.” I started walking but he didn’t he pulled me back to him and grabbed me in a hug. “I was thinking più of a kiss. Is that ok with you?” “Oh shut up and baciare me.” I kissed him and he kissed me back. “You definitely baciare better than Jeremy.” “Come on Alice. And let’s try not to get into anymore trouble. Ok?” “That sounds perfect to me.” Then we started running hand in hand to our successivo destination. As we went farther and farther from Volterra I wondered what was going to happen next. But under no circumstances will we ever diviso, spalato up again! I will make sure that never happens again.
