I saw Bella pass through the doors and I looked eagerly behind her for Alice. I was immediately hit with a wave of such immense sadness I feel to the ground. Within seconds I realized within seconds that the pain was radiating from Bella that could only mean one thing… Edward was gone. Soon the pain subsided just enough so I could feel sympathy as well. I sat there for minutes confused, and then it hit me. If she was feeling sympathy for me it meant not only was Edward gone but Alice too. I rose and ran; I ran so far I had no idea of my location; I felt a pain that just couldn't be real. I lied down and dry-sobbed; it was times like this when I wished I could sleep or at least cry. After a while I wouldn't have been sure if time has passed if not for the rise and set of the sun.

I continued to lie and let the pain have until I heard footsteps approach behind me. I looked to see Esme, her shoulders shook it in a way which indicated her pain. I knew it pained her to lose Alice and to see me like that but I just couldn't get up. Carlisle quickly followed and only looked at me and then to his speechless wife.

"Jasper you need to come home," He began, "We miss you and we need you. Without you it just isn't the same."

I know he was just trying to comfort me but I lost control, I hadn't hunted in over a week and I had little emotional control. "It will never be the same again! Don't you get it? I do no good for anyone because Alice was my life, without her this earth is just useless dirt." I broke to the ground.

"Son," this time it was Esme who spoke, "Alice was very important to all of us, you especially. We know that but we can't just let you starve yourself and fade into oblivion." I didn't reply I just lay there. "Please," she continued "We need you." Her pain was my pain and I couldn't refuse her.

"Fine"

Carlisle took this time to let a very important piece of information slip, "We'll need you to hunt first. Bella is at the house and we can't handle anymore incidents. I guess I shouldn't be surprised everyone loved her so much. The feelings that radiated off Esme when she spoke of Bella mimicked that of those when she thought of Alice. Alice, I was pained again. Carlisle offered me his hand and I took it. We then went for a long hunt before returning to the house, a house filled with many a memory of Alice. I wonder how Bella is taking this.
