Wow! Now I didn't think it would work that fast! O.o

Well, it's not particularly long but if you are nice and I get some reviews, chances are high that there will be another chapter up soon! And this time I honestly mean soon! Soon, as "in a maximum of three days"!^^

So, the choice is yours!

It had been a whole week but Alice was finally back. Everyone was glad she was and nobody dared to talk about what had happened, the fear that she might leave again was still pulsing trough their bodies. They acted as though nothing was different, no silence treatment or meaningful looks. Emmet was still making fun with and of her, Jasper was still kissing her, although he seemed a tad bit more passionate then usually, Rose still went shopping with her, Edward and her still played chess games, Esme and her still cooked food for Bella, even though it was far too much.

Alice wondered how long it would last, how long until one of them would speak about it, how long until they would burst. But they had agreed that it was up to her to decide whether she was ready to talk about it or not. Normally she would get visions about what was going to happen but everyone was so confused, no one knew what to do, there were no straights lines, hence nothing to foresee. This frustrated her to no end. It was like someone suddenly going blind, just out of nowhere. She new in order to see again she had to confront them but boy did she dread that. But there was no way around it, no loophole. She tried talking to them a couple of times. She would walk downstairs, step into the living room and open her mouth only for something to come out like "When is Bella going to come over?"

She tried, she really did! But she couldn't bring herself to, the hurtful expressions still burned in the back of her head. She simply couldn't do that alone, she knew they wouldn't hurt her or anything but it was so damn hard to hurt them. Maybe it was the wrong approach to confront them all at once. Alice came to the conclusion that she should talk to Jasper first anyway. That she could manage, he would make sure of it. And so she did. He did not ask much, he just accepted her decision; there was no way he would leave her. After all this time he loved her nonetheless and she was awed by it.

He told her, he would support her. And there he was, standing beside her, his hand rubbing slow circles over the small of her back, while she was standing in the middle of the room facing their family. "I need a break." she swallowed hard, her glance shifting to the floor suddenly finding an immense interest in it "I don't know for how long, but we WILL go away for some time." Liar a voice screamed inside her head "We won't tell you were we're going, you won't be able to find us, doesn't matter how hard you try. We will be a family no matter what. If you need us, we're gonna be here. This is not about you." Liar "I don't know what exactly is wrong, what is off." Liar "But I do know that I need to sort this out myself." When her gaze met Carlisle's her eyes started burning, a nauseating feeling took over her. It took all her strength not to topple over and scream in pain. "Jasper is coming with me."

Silence. His eyes didn't leave hers, not for a single second and although he never wanted to have the ability to read minds like Edward, 'cause he thought it wrong to invade someone's personal space without them knowing or having a say in it, he'd given everything to be able to right then and there. His eyes begged her to stay, promised everything would be alright, told her they would work things out – together- but he knew she was going to leave, there was no stopping her. She had decided and it had taken too much effort to go back now. He was head of the family, so it was up to him to answer; everyone else was too shocked anyway. It took a great effort to keep a straight face but he managed "We accept your decision." "Carlisle, you can't let her leave!" Rose exclaimed, after she had finally found her voice again. Ignoring her Carlisle continued speaking "We accept your decision. Feel free to leave and come back whenever you want to. You'll always be welcome." He took her into his arms and placed a soft kiss onto her head. Alice tensed beneath him but hugged him back anyway.

She pulled away, smiling at them even if that took all the strength she could muster. She had always hated goodbyes and this was no exception. Jasper, able to feel her despair, intertwined their fingers and took off into the wood. Both of them knew that if they had stayed only one second longer and would have taken the time for a proper goodbye, she wouldn't have been able to do this any longer. A few miles away from the house they stopped, Alice breaking down into a shuddering heap on the ground, unable to keep the facade anymore. Jasper was by her side immediately, comforting her and soothing her pain as much as he was able to, without using his special skills. He knew she wouldn't want him to, she had to feel it.

He hated seeing her in pain and he hated not knowing what was going on. But she didn't tell him and just like the gentleman he was he didn't ask. Not using his powers to help her became almost unbearable when she started screaming for it to stop... screw what she told him to do and not to do, if she loved him she would understand. Alice relaxed instantly, her eyes shooting daggers at him at first but then she pulled him in, crashing her lips to his as hard as possible. He kissed her back with the same amount of force, his eyes shooting open when she bit down onto his bottom lip. Softly pushing her away he lifted her chin with his finger "Alice, now is not the time. We've got to get going." She knew he was right, they had to leave if they didn't want to be followed. She pecked him on the lips once more and took his hand again. They ran until they had reached their destination, not stopping once.

They came to a halt in front of a little shack in the mountains, Jasper swiftly knocked and a petite woman stepped outside. "Jasper! You're finally here!" she greeted in a soft and musical voice smiling sweetly at him. When the brown haired woman tuned to face Alice the smile quickly changed into a somewhat evil smirk "You really took your time!" she sneered. Now she sounded rather harsh and annoyed, but then she had the tendency to be sharp, hadn't she. Anger flashed in Alice's eyes but before she was able to say anything Jasper spoke up smiling "It is very nice of you to let us stay here, we are very grateful!" The smile never left his lips and he had to admit that he was slightly amused; she was glaring at his arm that was now wrapped around his wife's waist. When he cleared his throat, she snapped out of her thoughts. A fake smile plastered onto her face she stepped aside and with a voice not the slightest bit friendlier almost threatening spoke the two words he needed to hear so desperately "Come in!"

If you want to you can guess who the petite, brown haired woman is, it's really not that hard!

So this chap is kinda like a Christmas present for those who want to read it, so it would be nice if I get a review (as x-mas present)!

Constructive criticism is always appreciated!^^ :D

Gosh, I should stop rambling!
