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. tu know those weird coffee mugs that say “I left my corazón in San Francisco”? Yeah well I left my corazón 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 inicial o go get me. I want him to do the segundo 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, preguntas 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 besar 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 tu explain again. Maybe I miss read your face. tu just looked happy instead of hurt like I thought tu would.” “I was happy Jasper.” “Why? Because tu kissed that fool? o because tu liked to see me hurt?” “Neither.” He lifted me off the log put me down and looked me in the eyes. “Then why were tu so happy?” I didn’t even need to think about it. “Because tu woke up Jasper! Because tu moved, tu didn’t listen to his little game! Plus I was happy because tu 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 kiss Jeremy. “Alice. That’s your reason? That’s all? tu 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 tu 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 dicho the same thing I did when he held my throat. “You wanted me to burn him?” “Of course! Why wouldn’t I? Didn’t tu 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 besar so, whatever. But tu told me to watch tu 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 tu claim tu 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 tu mean no?” “No.” “You still don’t believe me do you?!” “Not really.” “Fine.” I got up and walked away.

“Alice? Where are tu 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 tu going to kill yourself?” he scoffed. “I was tempted to do that, but why waste my talent? I’m going to registrarse them!” He stopped. Then started walking again. “Alice? You’re not serious are you?” “I’m as serious as tu when tu dicho tu didn’t believe me!” “Why?” “Why wouldn’t I? I might as well. I can’t go inicial because they’re going to want to know what happened to tu and I can’t tell Bella that tu 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 tu 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 registrarse 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 tu now. Do tu want to come with me Mary? I still amor you, I never stopped. I just thought tu stopped loving me. So I left. So Mary do tu 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 tu either. So let’s go, but before we go. Answer this. Will tu 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 más of a kiss. Is that ok with you?” “Oh shut up and kiss me.” I kissed him and he kissed me back. “You definitely kiss 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 siguiente destination. As we went farther and farther from Volterra I wondered what was going to happen next. But under no circumstances will we ever división, split up again! I will make sure that never happens again.
