Jasper

"Jasper, I'm going to be fine. You don't need to say goodbye a hundred times," she said yet again. I had lost count as to how many times she'd said it. I didn't miss her smile though... I would miss that. "Jasper, Jazzy?" She knew. That was the only reason for the worry in her voice. "Jasper? Is there anything going on?" she asked.

So she didn't know, and that's what caused the worry and fright to roll off her body. She was ignorant of what I had planned with Carlisle. I was sure Edward knew. But I had only confided in Carlisle. He was the most level headed of us all, he was the only one who wouldn't be angered by my decision.

"Nothing's wrong, Alice. I'm just worried. Whenever I'm about to go away from you for certain amounts of time I get worried, you know that," I said, trying to soothe her. I wouldn't use my power with her, she hated it. I tried putting no emotion in my voice, but I felt like I failed.

"Just, have fun, okay?" She was worried. She must have some clue. I only nodded as she stood on her toes to kiss me.

"Have fun out there with Carlisle. Go and bag a mountain lion or a grizzly. Just to piss them off," she said, joking. She was getting harder to read every day. Serious, joking? I couldn't tell. I smiled at her, her favorite smile, and walked out the door.

Carlisle was waiting in his Mercedes. My bag was already in the back, so it did look like we were going hunting. I sat in the passenger seat. He didn't need to feel my depression to know it was there.

"Edward knows," he said, pulling out of the garage. I nodded. Of course he knew. He tried not to, but as soon as he even thought something was up, he began probing minds.

"You knew he'd find out sooner or later. He won't tell anyone though?" I asked. Carlisle shook his head.

"He understands. He's surprised Alice hasn't seen this coming. She doesn't miss a thing when it comes to you," he said. He was obviously remembering the first time we had come to the Cullen's household.

"Thank you for doing this," I said. I was almost ashamed. This would break Alice's heart, but I had to do this. I could come back for her. I promised her I would.

She was straddling me, her arms wrapped around my neck, my arms around her waist. Occasionally she would give me a soft kiss, and nothing more. These were the moments we both cherished. Just sitting here, talking about nothing, and sometimes not talking at all. Today we were just staring at each other. I wanted to drink as much of her in as I could. She thought we would only be gone a week, it'd be much longer than that. I hope she wouldn't find that out.

"Jasper, you seem troubled," she commented, looking at my face. I tried to look extremely content, but I could tell by her look of worry I wasn't fooling her.

"I'm just thinking," I replied with a smile. Her beautiful smile got wider with my words, and she gave me another kiss. Oh how I would miss this.

"It's times like these when I envy Edward's gift," she said absently. I laughed. She had her own gift, she loved her gift, and she envied Edward's gift, which she often cursed. She never failed to amuse me. She resituated herself so that her back was against my chest, and my arms wrapped around her waist in a possessive manner. I wanted to hold on to her for forever, but I had to do this.

"I love you, Alice," I whispered. She knew it was true.

"I love you too," she replied, a smile in her voice.

"I will always find you, no matter what," I assured her. She was confused by this, but she nodded.

"Jasper, we're here," Carlisle said. I thanked him and made my way to the gate. I had pre-ordered my tickets so I wouldn't have to wait in line with the humans. Waiting was just too useless for this.

I was in line, and I heard my name. I thought Alice had come for me, but that couldn't be. She didn't know about this. I looked to the crowd anyway, hoping she would be there. I couldn't see her.

I turned back to the lady at the small counter. I handed the lady my ticket and heard my name again. I laughed and just shook my head. I smiled at her and went to the tunnel leading to the plane. They closed the door, and again I heard Alice's voice. I nodded my head, accepting the fact that I was imagining her voice.

"Jasper, please don't do this!" she yelled in my imagination again as I rounded the corner. "Please, come back to me," she said, her voice fading. Could I really lose her so easily?

"Please," she said, fading even faster. "Don't do this."

Shorter, yes, but still... I just found these two things randomly on my computer. I clean it out every once in a while and I found this... still don't know if I have already put it up though... so let me know. :D
