Chapter 1- Jasper

"Where There Is Love, There Is Life." – Indira Gandhi

The ocean seemed bitter today; angry waves ricocheted off of the cliff side, sending a shower of water in every direction. The impacts made the ground shake; causing my boulder to wobble in its place. The sun rested on the very edge of the water; like it was originally hung there. A gentle reminder that another day has left our presence.

I sat in my little getaway; an open cliff at the edge of the great Pacific. It was a marvelous discovery, this little hideout. The grass was thick and green, the trees tall and wide. To my right ran a stream which dropped over the edge, and collided with the rest of the ocean. I love everything about this place; coming here calms me down.

The only people who know I come here are Edward and Alice- even though I didn't voluntarily tell them. Most of the time, they don't bother following me. The family understands a need of alone time…Especially when you are part of our little clan. Being in the house makes it so that everybody can hear you. Emmett gets a kick out of listening in on conversations, or worse…you know.

The sound of footsteps interrupted my train of thought. When I turned around, Alice stood at the edge of the forest, a grin stretched across her face. Her skin glimmered in the light of the afternoon sunset. "So this is where you hide from me," she said, skipping across the field.

"It's not hiding if you join." I laughed, gesturing to the open spot to my left. "Care to watch the sunset?"

Alice suddenly appeared, interlacing her fingers with mine. "Of course. Anything to spend some time with my number one guy."

"Well, I'm glad to keep you company." I said, bowing my head.

"And that's why I love you." She whispered, resting her head on my shoulder.

Brilliant Rays of the setting sun glowed a bright mixture of red, orange, and yellow; slowly setting on the radiant horizon. The warmth of it all disappearing in an instant; bitter temperatures developing in the cool November breeze. Before we knew it, the sun was completely gone…a moon and stars taking its place.

"I love nights like these…You can actually see the stars. They fascinate me…"

I let out a tiny laugh. "Alice, all of the stars in the universe is nothing compared to you."

She suddenly felt annoyed. "You're too modest," she murmured under her breath, "Do you ever give yourself any credit?"

I sighed, because there really isn't that much to credit myself for. "Fine, I'll play along. Credit for what?"

Alice smiled a grin of perfect, shiny teeth. "Well, I love so many things about you Jazz."

I spun myself to around, and crossed my legs. The direction I faced had me looking straight at her. Those beautiful golden eyes bored into mine until she realized what I wanted. Alice moved swiftly to sit in my lap. "So, what kind of things do you love about me?" I whispered, wrapping my arms around her body.

She lifted her head to gaze at me. "I love how you always put everyone else before yourself, or how you are always so protective of the people you love." She said, caressing the side of my face. "You are kind, polite, and an amazing kisser," She whispered, leaning in to press her lips to mine, before pulling away. "Jasper, you are braver than anybody I've ever met, and I absolutely adore your romantic side," She laughed, kissing me another time. "Most of all, I love how you are all mine."

I smiled down at her, my heart a thousand times heavier than before. "Well, do you ever stop and think of how amazing you are?" She held my hand again. "That's not the same," Her laughter rang through the wind like Christmas bells. "Why? Would you like to remind me?"

"Alice, you are the most beautiful woman in the entire world," I said, kissing the back of her hand. "I love your overall enthusiastic attitude, or when you're so persistent." I rendered, kissing her on the cheek. "You know exactly what to say and when to say it, and I'm crazy about your romantic side." My mouth stretched into a smile. "You're tiny and delicate, but with so much strength …"

"Shhh…" Alice whispered, pressing her finger to my lips. "I really want to kiss you now." She was turned so that she had her legs wrapped around my waist, and her arms on my shoulders. I smiled as she kissed me again, only this time, for so much longer than before.

Whenever Alice touches me, it's almost like a live fire has been set under my skin; only, the flames don't hurt. My whole body becomes warm on the inside, and I feel complete-like we are one person.

I felt completely out of it, the only thing I saw was her face in my head. She was so beautiful; that hair, so unique, so perfect. Her eyes are a breathtaking shade of gold- pure and almost metallic looking. And those lips! Full and gorgeous as they yelled "Jasper! Jasper!" I opened my eyes to see Alice, with her hand on top of mine-which was fumbling with the buttons on her shirt. "Jazz, not here…"

We were now lying down, facing each other. "Why Not," I mumbled, "It's so pretty here. And there's nobody around for miles."

She pretended to think for a couple of seconds before saying, "Well…"

"Don't mess with me Alice." I whispered in her ear.

And then we continued where we left off…
