ALICE'S POV

I sat all alone, thinking again. I had isolated myself from the others. It had been about 4 months since we had left that small town. Sure we had left plenty of places before, but this time was different, everyone knew. It was her. Bella. The one name that could make our whole family go silent. One name that meant so much to the whole family. One name that made me wish I could cry or sleep. Why? To pass the time I had to stay away from my best friend. To pass the time I had to see my brother act the way he did. He didn't even stay with us. He went out on his own for months at a time. This took a toll on the whole family. Even when he did stop by, he was different in so many ways. He never smiled or laughed anymore. His face was always cold and unemotional and his eyes were no longer the familiar liquid butterscotch but they were cold and hard now.

I couldn't bare to see the effect one human had on my family. I knew the effect she had on me and my brother was a little bit more that that of the others. She after all was my best friend.

I tried to keep myself from thinking about her and seeing her future. Edward didnt like thoughts of knew this as well. But he had something that I did not. He had gotten to at least say good-bye. He had told me a clean break would be better for not only me but Bella, as well. So far, I didnt see anyway that it would've been different, but of course, there was no arguing with Edward.

I remember the day so well. It was the night of her birthday. Edward had kept her busy while I decorated and got everything in order. They had arrived and all was well. Then, it was time to open presents. I gave Edward the box he asked for and he in turn gave it to Bella. As she went to open it, she sliced her finger. After that, all was a blur even for me. Jasper had lost control I know. He slammed into Edward trying to get at Bella. Emmett's vice hands had tightened around him as he and Rose drug my husband outside. Bella, being Bella had fallen and cut her arm a good bit. There was so much blood that even I had problems controlling myself. But I did it for her and my family. I got Carlisle a towel and went off to fetch his bag as they moved Bella to the table. I laid the bag there and then walked out of the room after quickly glanicing at Bella. The smell was unbearably mouthwatering. I went out on the lawn with the others, to check on Jasper.

I saw him there, his frame shaking as he leaned against a tree turned the opposite direction, away from me. I flitted over to his side and gave Emmett and Rose the okay to back up and give him some room. I looked at Esme who was looking down, ashamed. I felt a tinge of sadness at the effect this accident already had taken on the family. Just a few seconds. I knew Edward was already furious by the actions of my husband just moments before, but I of course wanted to help Jasper, not just get mad at him.

I looked up at my husband and saw the grief and agony on his face. Throwing my arms around him, I looked off to nowehere in particular. I was thinking of a way to calm him down and make him feel better. I coulnt stand for him to feel bad. I mean yeah he could've killed her but he didnt. So, thats what Im trying to focus on.

I let my arms drop to my side as I turned my gaze towards him. The moonlight shone on his face and illuminating him, making him look like an angel. He was beautiful and the thing I loved the most in the world. Even his scars were beautiful. They added something to him. Some would be scared of his appearance but it made me love him more. He was my hero and I was his heroine. We were a perfect match.
I saw him turn to me and my face lit up, but his was not as happy. This was to be expected, i guess. I looked at the plains of his face, hard and rigid but still familiar. I saw the faint outline of a smile on his lips and knew there was hope.

"Let's hunt."

I took his hand and looked at him dead on. "Its okay, Jasper, you won't hurt her." I started "Ill help you."

I motioned for him to follow me off towards the woods. He stood up and stepped away from the tree and nodded. I took my free hand and stroked his cheek, letting my fingers trace the outline of a few of his scars. He shivered a little as I did this.

Finally I looked at him and let three simple words come from my mouth. "I love you." I saw him smile a bit more and he stepped up a little in the direction I was going to walk. He held my hand more firmly now as if he were saying dont ever leave me. I, in return, held his hand just as tightly without taking my eyes from his.

"Alright let's go." he said as he looked back at me with an intensity that wasn't there before. He was determined to do better, for me, himself, and the others.

I turned around and nodded at my other family members and gave them a small apologetic smile. I started to pic up speed gradually and as Jasper began to pick up speed, I ran. I ran to run away from the feeling that had been stirred up in the house. Even though I did not have Jasper's talent, I had felt all the emotions there, too. Anger. Dissapointment. Sadness. There was too much tension and I was running from it. I was free, if only for now. Jasper ran for the same reasons I did. Freedom.

We entered the woods and lept across the river. I climbed up into the trees and jumped and flipped from branch to branch, releasing the tension from my body and mind. Jasper ran below me. He was just as fast as I was, we were in unison in a way. I caught onto a branch and hurled myself from it and spiraled down flipping over and over until I landed on Jasper. I giggled as I jumped up.

"Sorry bout that." I said as I saw him almost laugh. I was having some effect on him and it made me feel a whole lot better. I held out my hand and he took it. I pulled him up but to my suprise, when he came up, he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and crushed his lips to mine. I was taken aback but went along with him. He needed it, I guess, to help forget about earlier. Our lips moved in synchronicity as he held my neck securely, so that my face stayed close to his. I threw my arms over his shoulders, without breaking the rythym we had established. I was oblivious to everything else happening. The world stood still to me.

We continued like this for awhile until suddenly Jasper broke off and pulled back. I was still a little disoriented if you will. He turned and stared pacing about while I stood there for a second. I saw as he sat down against a tree nearby and put his head in his hands. I went over and sat next to him and pulled him closer and laid his head in my lap as I stroked his hair gently.

"What's wrong, dear?" I asked.
"What's wrong? Are you serious? I almost KILLED her." he said angrily. I looked down and dropped my hands from his hair. He never got angry at me. This was taking a huge tole on him. I wanted to make it right. He had become silent, calming himself down maybe. I guess he felt the sadness radiating from me. He didnt mean to hurt my feelings, that I knew.

"Are you ready to hunt?" I asked still upset.

Jasper sat up and looked at me. He brought his hands to my face, brushing his fingers against my cheekbone and I saw the sadness in his eyes as he appologized.

"Im sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. Im having a hard time dealing with all this." he said as I listened.

"I understand. You're forgiven." I said my bad mood disintegrating as I saw him smile.

"Now what would I do without you?" he said before pulling me in for a quick kiss. When he pulled back and looked at me, I saw him. My husband and lover but moreover my rock and refuge, the one I turned to when I could count on no one else in the world. My light in the darkness I sometimes found myself in. But then I realized that he may be those things to me but I- I was those things to him as well. We needed each other, to be with each other. He was the missing part of me as I was the missing part of him. We completed each other. It was then that I saw what Edward had decided. We were leaving.

I masked my emotions so Jasper wouldnt detect anything unordinary as we hunted. I finished quite quickly, but I wasnt in as much need for hunting as Jasper was. I watched as he stalked his prey and gracefully and skillfuly pounced catching it on the neck and finishing it off. When he was done he looked over and smiled. I walked over and hugged him lightly. "Are you ready to go back?" I asked.

"Not really, but I have to do it sometime." he said taking my hand as we started off toward home. We didnt talk much on the way home. We just let the silence swallow our anxities as the house came into view. He squeezed my hand gently and I looked at him, giving him a reassuring smile. He gave a small smile in return.

I held his hand firmly as we walked up to the front door and opened it, stepping inside. I led him into the living room and let his hand go. Raising my hands, I looked at Edward.

"Edward, I already know what you're going to say alright..I saw it." I said standing in front of Jasper.

"Yeah. And what's that, Alice?"

"I know you're going to make us leave."

I had know his decision since earlier in the forest. I knew that Jasper was in the dark so to speak at the moment, but I hadn't told him for good reason.

"Your making it sound like it's my fault." I heard my brother say.

"No, I just think you're making too big of a deal out of all this."

"'Too big of a deal?', are you joking? Didn't you see what just happened? She could've died tonight, Alice!"

"But she didn't ,did she?" I said back, but at the moment I said it I knew I shouldn't have. He was already mad at Jasper. I didn't need him mad at me as well.

"So, what are you suggesting? That we stick around and see what will happen the next time she tries to.
rip off a price tag of a stupid handbag from one of your shopping trips or something, and gets cut on it?! Sounds like a real plan, Alice. Perfect."

When I heard him say that all thoughts of an apology vanished. What happened earlier was not my fault.

"Why don't you quit being such a jerk, Edward. No one knew that was going to happen earlier. Not even me." I shouted at him. He was making me angry now.

"Exactly! Not even the psychic knew it was going to happen. How am I supposed to keep her safe then? Did you ever think about that, Alice?
You know how she attracts danger. She attracted me for Gods sake! Me!" He shouted with an equal tone. I was about to say something when I heard him mumbling. "I should've left right in the beginning. I shouldn't have let it get this far."

"And what would that have done? Hurt you? Hurt her? You have to think of someone besides you. It would have hurt her if you had left." I felt the waves of calm trying to come in and calm me. I turned to Jasper. "Please stop trying to calm me down." He nodded and turned his attention away from us. I turned back to Edward now. "So, its your desision..do we leave and hurt her or stay and be more careful?"

I have to think about someone besides myself?
Who tha hell do you think I am thinking about, really? All I ever think about is Bella. I love her that much, I would never hurt her. I have done that, and I will not do it again. There will be no third round of 'who wants to take Bella's life?', okay? We're leaving, and that's final."

I couldn't believe he was choosing to leave. He had to know what that would do to her. But I wasnt going to argue with him anymore. I had to go say goodbye.

"Yeah okay. Well in my opinion, if you were thinking about her then that decision would be different. Well I have to go say goodbye I guess." I turned to walk away and then looked back at Jasper. "Jasper you just go pack up some of our things, okay? He nodded and walked toward the stairs and turned back. "Okay,dear. Can you tell her I'm sorry when you go?"

"Yeah, I will." I said as he turned and went to pack up our belongings.

I turned back to walk out the door, when Edward was suddenly in front of me. "You're not going to say goodbye."

I stepped back a little so that I could look at him. "What the hell do you mean? I am going to say goodbye to my best friend and tell her that it's not my/fault we are leaving."

"I will tell her myself when the time is right, and that's not tonight." As he said this his voice was hard and set.

"I don't see why I cant say goodbye for myself..I'm a big girl, Edward. I can do these things myself."

"Alice, I don't think she would handle that very well. You don't want to hurt Bella, do you? I think a clean break would be better for her. I will tell her you wanted to say goodbye, though. He paused for a moment, thinking I guess. "This is for the best, you know. For her best." he finished as he put his hand lightly on my shoulder.

"Yeah well if you think that would be best for her, then I will go along with it. But only for her. And could you tell her that I love her, please?" I said looking down. I was going to miss her.

"I will." he said with a weak smile.

"Thanks." With that I turned to walk away but turned back quickly. "When do we leave? And where are we going?"

"You guys will leave in the morning. And you're heading to 'Los Angeles', meaning you can go whereever you want to. I will leave in 3 days myself, and I don't know where I'm going yet, to be honest."

"Okay well thanks again...Id better go get packed up."

"Okay."

And with that it was over. We were leaving.

I came to, alone in the room still. The flashbacks came more regularly now. It was either those or memories of a happier time. The time with Bella. More memories flooded in now. Shopping trips, make-overs, and just plain fun. A smile spread across my face at these memories.

Suddenly, the memories faded away, something else replacing them. The smile on my face disappeared, my face becoming still and blank. My eyes unfocused watched the scene intently. Just then a look of horror flashed across my face.

PLEASE READ&REVIEW!! :) Thanks guys!
