Alice had a lot of opinions and most of the time people heard them loud and clear, or at least they thought they did. There was plenty she kept to herself. Even Edward didn't get all of it poking through her head, just 'cause there was so much, and she knew where to hide things. And she knew she came off as the perkiest cheerleader, but she was as she had pointed out a hundred and frigging nine, and there was stuff she knew.
"I guess you know I'm married right, like it's pretty common knowledge. And Jasper's kind of the same way, only older and I wanna say wiser without sounding like a jerk. There's pain he's gotta keep cause it reminds him of where he went wrong, and pain he can't get rid of cause it just is, so you know, that part I get, believe it or not. Thomas wouldn't." She smiled just as sadly, secret shared between the two of them.
"I'm never gonna blame him for the stuff he carries around, even the stuff he thinks he needs that he doesn't, I won't. Blame isn't gonna help, you see that pretty quick with more than just Jasper. There's layers there though Justine, there are, he can still chip away at them, I mean if he couldn't I would've had to hogtie him and I didn't. There's still stuff he can have." Like a certain amount of happiness he was bound and determined to deny himself.
She really wanted to hug this woman and give her everything that she should have too, way more than she usually wanted to do with just about everyone. Justine deserved that. Alice just didn't have anything to give her other than what she knew, and what she'd do for Thomas.
