Chapter 19 will be updated on Monday. A teaser is after the cut.
The ticking of the clock was in my head, over and over, minute after minute. I was too scared to look at it, though, for fear of what I would see – the early hour and the length of time he’d been gone.
Why hadn’t he told me he was going? I didn’t want to think about it, but the otherwise silent room made it impossible to do anything else. Now my initial hysteria had passed, I could rationalise that Jasper would come back. After everything, there was no way he’d just leave me here.
The Volturi wouldn’t let him, at any rate.
But that didn’t explain where he’d gone at…I chanced a glance at the clock…two in the morning. There was only one place someone who didn’t sleep could go – to them. I had to bow my head against my knees when the thought of Jasper going to Volterra was scaring me more than waking up to find him gone.
Please, Jasper, please come back.

I would have posted the video directly, but none of them seemed to work. idealskeptic mentioned this song after she read chapters 18, 19 and 20. Now, every time I listen to it, all I can think about it Jasper and Angela. This part especially:
And there will come a time,
you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
but dismiss your fears.
Although I'm not a fan of Lana Del Rey's music but when I heard her song Dark Paradise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Eqb0tsjKrU), I thought that it really matched how Jasper must feel without Alice in your story (and yes, I'm a big fan by the way ^-^). Here are the lyrics:
ReplyDeleteAll my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean singing your song
That's how you sing it
Loving you forever can't be wrong
Even though you're not here, wont move on
That's how we played it
And theres no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling that everything is fine
But I wish i was dead
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
All my friends ask me why I stay strong
Tell em when you find true love it lives on
Thats why I stay here
And theres no remedy for memory
Your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling that everything is fine
But I wish i was dead
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you except in my dreams tonight
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
There's no relief, I see you in my sleep
And everybody's rushing but i can feel you touching me
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Telling me I'm fine
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
But there's no you except in my dreams tonight
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
I don't wanna wake up from this tonight
Hey! I've heard that song before - you're right, it can definitely fit with how Jasper feels without Alice. Thanks! :)
