Chapter One - Your Guardian Angel

Alice's POV

It was his last week in Forks.

I was going to miss my blond haired, blue eyed angel so much. He was always my protector. My saviour. No matter what, he was there for me. Just like he promised; forever and always.

"Alice? Are you still in there?" he asked, chuckling.

"Yeah, sorry Jazz, just got a little distracted..." I trailed off, not wanting to let him know what I was thinking about.

"Oh okay. Well, why don't you tell your bestest buddy what you were thinking then?" Jasper joked.

"Um... I was just thinking about how much I'm going to miss you when you leave for Texas," I mumbled, hoping he wouldn't notice how it was only slightly the truth.

"Oh, well, you know I'll miss you, Alice. You've been my best friend for years. You'll always be my little sister," he said matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, I know Jazz. Its just I'm not sure how I'm going to cope without you help calm my nerves or protect me when Emmett wants to play baseball," I grumbled.

I hated it when he called me his little sister. Didn't he know I was madly in love with him? How many hints do I have to drop before he figured it out!
Ever since I met him six years ago, when I moved from Biloxi to Forks, I always knew he was someday going to be with me. I know, it sounded weird, but I just had this feeling...

"Well, when Emmett wants to play baseball, tell him to take Carlisle. We all know how good Carlisle is at baseball," Jasper suggested, bringing me out of my gloomy thoughts.

"I forgot about Carlisle's baseball skills," I murmured to myself, trying to put on a sincere smile for Jasper.

As we walked off to class he threw me one of his knee-weakening smiles. The smile that made me fall in love with him when I was ten years old.
It sounds weird. Saying I fell in love with a boy when I was ten. But I know its true. He's always held my heart.

When my brother Emmett and I first moved in with my Uncle Carlisle and Aunt Esme, we were so scared of the outside world. Our parents had been killed. Murdered. Jasper had made friends with Emmett, as he only lived down the street. I always used to hang out with my cousin Edward when Emmett was out with Jazz. Then after a few years, Jasper came and hung out with me and Edward, since Emmett was too busy making out with Jasper's twin sister, Rosalie.

We always made fun of Emmett and Rosalie for that. They had hated each other up until Emmett started working out to impress Rosalie.
Emmett went to the gym twice a day. Once before school, and once after school. It was quite cute. he just wanted to get her attention by bulking up. But being Emmett he didn't listen to a word I said. I told him she wouldn't care if he was all bulked up. Guess who won that bet.
After a little while, Rose began to soften up towards Emmett. He was funny, and she liked that. But she already had a boyfriend. Royce. He was a pig. Whenever he took her out she would always have to pay for herself, open her own door and get there herself. Emmett was a gentleman, of course. Thats how all the Cullen's were raised.
He would open doors for Rose, and even when they were going to get breakfast together as friends, he would pay for her.

I pulled out my chair and took a seat. I pulled out my book and started listening to Mr. Banner and his boring lecture, taking notes.

Classes dragged. They always dragged when I wasn't with Jasper. I walked to our lunch table, where Rosalie, Emmett and Edward already sat.
I was just about to pull out my chair when a pale, scarred hand slid it out for me. I looked up startled, to see Jasper standing there, with an amused smirk on his lips.

"Thanks Jazz," I murmured.

"My pleasure, ma'am," he drawled with his slight accent, shooting me a crooked grin.

Jeez, that boy made me weak at the knees.

I half fell into my chair, with Jasper still smirking. I put my bag down, and dropped my head to the table. I was having one of those days where all you wanted to do was go home and sleep. I wasn't my usual bubbly self, and I could tell everybody could sense it, even with my awesome acting skills.

"Oh, and I bought you some food darlin', I thought you might need something to cheer you up," Jasper continued, after my head found the table.

I lifted my head to see he was looking at me, with adoration and concern written all over his face, and deep in his clear blue eyes.

"Thank you Jasper. I... I'm fine though. No need to worry at all," I lied weakly, my head already on the table again.

"C'mon darlin', you aren't going to hurt my feelings with me leaving soon, are you?" he asked innocently, knowing I'd give if he ever mentioned me hurting his feelings.

"Fine," I grumbled, picking up a chocolate bar from the tray. He smiled triumphantly, as I unwrapped it and took a bite. He swiftly grabbed my chocolate bar and took a bite from it.

"Hey! I thought you said I needed to eat!" I joked, punching him in the arm, and taking my chocolate back.

He just grinned. God, those eyes... I could just stare into their depth for hours...

"Alice? would you stop staring at Jasper, and answer me?" Emmett teased.

"I'm listening," I defended myself, breaking our connection to scowl at Emmett.

"Sure you were, pixie. If you were listening, what did I just ask you then?" he challenged, raising an eyebrow at me.

"You just asked me to tell you what you just asked, and your exact words were 'what did I just ask you then?'" I replied, making absolutely no sense.

"You're one crazy little pixie," Edward murmured, smiling his famous crooked smile.

"That I am, Eddy," I chirped, knowing he hates anyone calling him that.

He mumbled something incoherent, and went on with eating his food, as he kept shooting glances over at another table. I turned to see what Edward was so obsessed with at the other table. Immediately, I met a pair of big chocolate brown eyes. Oh, he had been sneaking glances at Bella Swan. She was new in Forks. And of course, very polite, but she hated being in the spotlight. That was something I just didn't get.

"Ooooo! Edward has a crush on Bella Swan!" I yelled out so everyone in the lunchroom could hear me.

"Shut up!" Edward snarled, sending an apologetic look towards Bella.

I simply giggled at him, and left the table, with Jasper following behind.

"Jazz..." I started, unsure whether to continue or not.

"What is it darlin'?" he asked, his slight accent slipping when he called me darlin'.

"I just... um... never mind," I answered, a little embarrassed with my sentence.

"Nope, you have to tell me now. Its not fair if you start a sentence then stop and go 'oh, never mind'. It's part of the rules," he rambled on.

"I was just wondering... when you leave for Texas...."

"...Yeah? What about it?" he asked me, confused.

"I... Well, will you miss me when you're gone?" I whispered, feeling stupid.

He pulled my chin up, so he could look me in the eyes.

"Of course I'll miss you darlin'. Like I said, you'll always be my number one girl," he told me with a playful wink.

"Sure sure. When you get a girlfriend, I'll only be number two," I mumbled, having my heart ache as I said the words.

"Oh," was all he said, before walking me to my next class in silence.

We approached the gym, still in silence.

"So... I better go get changed," he murmured as Coach Clapp approached, glaring at anyone one who was sitting around.

I walked off into the girl's change room as I heard a malicious laugh. Oh, great. Jessica and Lauren were staring at me. Those two had always had a crush on Jasper for as long as I can remember.
I know they hate me because Jasper would always choose me over them. They never seem to get over themselves. I sighed, and gave them a hard look.

Walking out of the change rooms in my gym uniform, I sat on the bleachers, where Jasper and I always sat. About 10 seconds later, Jasper walked out of the change rooms and sat with me,
playing with my fingers like he always used to. I drew in a deep breath, and took my hand from his. He looked at me curiously. I just shook my head at him and closed my eyes.

"Alice, whats wrong?" he asked me, trying to stop the hurt from seeping into his voice.

"Nothing, don't worry," was the best I could come up with.

"No, tell me. Whatever it is, it's seriously affecting you," he pointed out, his voice becoming higher with worry.

"It's-"

"Don't say nothing, Alice. I'm always here when you need to talk, and you always tell me what's on your mind, so why not tell me now?" he pleaded with me.

"If you really want to know, it because I'm going to miss you, Jazz. Miss you like crazy. You mean so much to me, and now you're moving to away. I won't cope," I told him, with tears threatening to escape.

No, I would not cry in front of Jasper. He can't see how much this is hurting me. And he sure as hell can't see how much I love him. He wouldn't want to be my friend anymore. He won't want to speak to me.
I couldn't risk that. Never would I jeopardize our friendship. He was my everything.

"Alice," he choked out. "Alice, I need you to know I won't ever forget you. Never. I lo-" he was cut off.

"EVERYBODY, WE'RE PLAYING BASKETBALL. SPLIT INTO TWO TEAMS," bellowed Coach Clapp, before blowing on his whistle.

We all groaned. I wonder what Jasper was going to say. What would he have said if Coach Clapp didn't cut him off? That's going to bug me all lesson now.

The hour actually went by pretty fast. I never actually did any running or anyhting, I just let my teammates do all the work for me. There was no way I was going to sweat off my make up.
Jasper was of course, the best player. He was tall, fast and wasn't afraid of getting knocked around by bigger guys. Most of the teams score came from him.

Class ended and we all went to shower up, and get changed. I only needed to get changed, because I did absolutely nothing all hour. Before he left to get changed, Jasper threw me a brilliant smile.
I had to hold onto the wall for support. He never smiled at anyone like that. It was the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. It made me knees weak just thinking about it.

I changed quickly, wanting to talk to Jasper more before I went home. He always knew what to say, and had a certain ability to always know what someone was feeling, especially me.

I sat in one of the seats, waiting for him to come out. Before I knew it, he was sitting beside me, his wet curls falling into his gorgeous blue eyes. A wide grin came across his features, and his eyes sparkled.

"Alice?" he said, looking a little uncomfortable because of my staring.

"Oh, right. Um, What were you saying before Coach Clapp interrupted you at the start of class?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, um..." he blushed. What the hell, why is he blushing? "What was I saying?" he pretended he had no idea, even though his face was pink.

"You were saying that you'd never forget me, then you started saying something but the coach cut you off. you were like 'I lo....?'" I informed him.

"Oh," he went even redder. "I was going to tell you something, but I'm not sure if you want to hear it."

"I want to hear it," I said a little too quickly. He chuckled.

"I was just going to say that I lov-" he was cut off by Jessica Stanley. God, that girl pissed me off!

"JASPER! Can I talk to you in private?" she asked, batting her eyelids.

"Um...."

"It'll only take a second," she assured him, slipping her hand into his and dragging him away.

"I'll be right back," he promised me, looking like he didn't want go with Jess.

I sighed, and closed my eyes, leaning my head against the back of the seat. I knew it would take her more then 'just a minute'.
