Ok, here's chapter 2. And something I forgot to say in the last A/N – I tried not to make it too obvious at who Alice's boyfriend is, but it probably is obvious. So I bet you all know who it is. If not, then you will find out soon. And also, in my profile is the link for the story Loving You, Loosing You, Finding You. I co-wrote that story and I told my friend not to post all of it at once, but she did anyway. So read it, its really, really good. I cried. It's pretty sad but it's awesome. –Alice xoxo

Chapter two

My fingers drummed on my desk as I waited for Jay to get on the next day after school. I really wanted to talk to him before I had to go work with Jasper. It wasn't like him to not be on. Usually he always was when I got home.

I looked at the clock at the bottom of the computer screen. The numbers read 3:25. I had five minutes before Jasper came. Would it be a little obsessive if I started to cry? I decided it was and saved my tears.

Even though I tried to prevent it, a small tear escaped my eye at 3:30 when I heard the knock on my front door and my mom calling up the stairs for me. I signed off AIM and went down the stairs to meet Jasper.

He was waiting for me, as expected. "Hey, Alice," He said. I kept my head down as I walked out the door with him right behind me so he wouldn't see the wetness in my eyes. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing! Just forget about it," my voice broke a little. Of course! Jasper stopped me and spun me around. He saw the tears in my eyes.

"This is completely ridiculous! Why are you crying?" He demeaned in frustration.

"Nothing!" I lied again, "Don't worry about it." I pulled away from him and walked towards my car. I got in on the drivers seat and he got in on the other side.

"Will you please just tell me why you're crying?" He wasn't going to let this go, was he? "I promise I wont judge you."

I sighed in annoyance. I didn't want Jasper to know about this relationship before I told anyone else. Especially Bella. I would tell her first. "I just… I don't want to talk about it – right now."

"Alright," he sighed, "just don't cry anymore, ok?"

I nodded and wiped the lingering tears off my face.

Jasper acted nervous and rushed the whole time we were at the library. But we did get a lot of work done. For the project we have to write an 8 page essay on the topic of our choice – and we chose the Civil War. We got three pages done in that afternoon alone.

I dropped Jasper off at his house on my way home.

"Do you want to work again tomorrow? We could meet at the library after school," he asked.

I moaned in annoyance. "No. That was a lot of work. Lets take the day off tomorrow. I could use a break."

"Alright. See you tomorrow at school," He said before getting out. He seemed more euphoric now that he was at home. Was he really that excided to get away from me? I watched as he walked really quickly towards his house. I hadn't even pulled away and I saw the light in his room turn on.

Of course, before I could get on the computer, I had to have dinner with my family. I rushed through it as fast as I could and finally – half an hour later – I was able to go upstairs. When I got up from the table, my dad stopped me.

"Where are you going so fast?" He asked.

"To get on the computer…" I answered, annoyed.

"Alice," My mom said in a way that I didn't exactly like, "Your on that thing way too much."

"IT'S MY COMPUTER! I CAN BE ON IT ALL I WANT!" I screamed before I ran up the stairs. I knew I was going to get in trouble for talking to my parents that way. But I didn't really care at that point.

I signed on to AIM. Jay was on.

Shopaholicpixxii: Jay! Where were you this afternoon? I was waiting for you.

Jwh1221: Sorry, pixie. You said you were meeting your partner after school so I thought you meant right after school. I didn't get on before I went to work with mine. I'm really sorry. I didn't think you would be on.

Shopaholicpixxii: Its ok. I missed you today.

Jwh1221: me too. You were the only thing I really thought of while I was working on my project.

Shopaholicpixxii: awww I only thought of you too. Bet you didn't get much work done, did you?

Jwh1221: actually, we did. We got almost half the project done. Even though my partner was… well I think her mind was somewhere else. Something was bothering her. She even cried. I've known her just about my whole life and it was the first time I saw her cry.

Shopaholicpixxii: Awww. I hope she's ok.

Jwh1221: she wouldn't tell me why.

Shopaholicpixxii: I cried to my partner today too. Lol.

Jwh1221:What? Don't cry, babe.

Shopaholicpixxii: I'm not crying now.

Jwh1221:Why did you cry?

Shopaholicpixxii: You'll think it's weird.

Jwh1221:try me.

Shopaholicpixxii: Ok. I cried because you weren't on. I really missed you.

Jwh1221: it's ok, baby. I'm here now.

Shopaholicpixxii: yes – and I've never been happier.

Just then, my mom came into my room. She didn't look too happy and I knew she wanted to talk about what I did so I typed 'brb' to Jay.

"Alice," my mom started as she came over to sit on my bed, "I'm not very happy with the way you talked to me and how much time your spending on that computer."

I looked down sadly. "Sorry," I whispered, "I didn't mean what I said. I'll try to not be on it so much."

"Your grades are slipping, Mary Alice. I don't want you on past 9:00 any more on school nights. And you can only be on for two hours a day from now on."

"Ok," I said, trying not to let the sadness show. My mom got up and left me alone again. I tried not to cry. I couldn't go only two hours a day talking to Jay. My life revolves around him now.
