Here's chapter two, enjoy and thank you for reading :) xxx

And so I returned to the café every single day. The waitresses learnt to ignore me, not bothering to ask me for an order - I always declined. The rain continued and the days passed, which soon turned into weeks. I was beginning to loose hope. My visions had never been wrong; that's when I thought, I had acted to change some outcomes. They never were inevitable.

But I stayed. Returning as soon as the doors opened in the morning and leaving only when the staff did. It soon passed into March. April. May. The weather altering from day to day. Once it turned 9 months, I began to give in.

I groaned at my stupidness. He wansnt coming. I turned my head away from the door. I would wait this last day. If he hadn't come after this long, would he ever come? The day was foggy, rain having drenched the streets, tedious for most, and even I had grown not to expect a miracle from the day. The days were just days. Nothing special was going to happen. Jasper was not going to walk through the door. I hoped, wherever he was, he was alright. I felt like I knew him already and I even realised I had grown to love the mystery man.

A waitress approached me after I my eyes had wondered to the menu board. They'd had the same meals for almost a year. She asked me for the first time in months if I wanted anything. When I declined she asked me what I was here for then.

"You've been in here for months! You never order anything! Every single guy that has asked you to go dancing with them or to take you for a meal, you just said no! If you're not here for a guy or food, what then?"

"I'm waiting…for a friend."

A rush of reorganisation at the words flooded me. It was déjà vu. A smiled eased its way onto my lips, just as the door clicked open and I heard the light steps as someone walked in from the rain. I span around, looked at him, smiled, and then danced up to him.

"You've kept me waiting a long time."

He ducked his head, like a good southern gentleman, then said;

"I'm sorry ma'am."

I held out my hand, he took it instantly and as our hands connected, I had vision of our whole future together.

He seemed to relax, so I pulled him to a booth and told him everything about me. I explained about my visions and my lifestyle. How I didn't drink from humans and where I got the inspiration to do that from. I told him how we would become part of a family, together. He just nodded along.

"I'm just relieved you showed up. I was beginning to loose hope, but when I saw you, it was the best feeling I have ever had!" I stared at his face, mesmerising every one of the many battle scars he'd gained from fighting in the south. I felt like I knew him so much already, even though we had met barley 30 minutes ago.

He smiled sadly.

"I don't think I will be able to adjust to a lifestyle like that, but the people you described sound very welcoming, and from the impression you gave me, i'm sure you'll fit right in."

I frowned and ran my eyes over his face again. His eyes – a deep blood red - met mine. I could see his whole body stiffen when there was any large movement near us. Being here, among humans was a struggle for him – even when he was well fed.

"But I could help you. I've seen it. You don't have to live this way." I lowered my voice "murdering innocent people. It's wrong. And you wouldn't have to wonder on your own. The Cullen would be there for you. I'd be there for you."

He was shaking his head.

"I can't Alice. I'm sorry."

I bit my lip. I couldn't loose him now. After all the waiting I had done for him. I shut my eyes and thought back over every vision I had had of him. I had been waiting for this moment for years. My visions all pointed out that this would go well. That Jasper would come with me and we would be happy. I wanted to be happy with him because as I reflected over the thought of loosing him, I realised it would bring me so much pain. I wouldn't be able to cope because I had been altered by him. My heart was now his.

"But…you can't go."

"Alice, I appreciate you offering all of this. Being loved and wanted is something I've never known and I want to experience it more than anything, but I have done so many bad things and have been without love for so long, I fear I won't be able to adjust to being part of a family. I've been altered too much. Past the point of return."

He stood up to leave. I felt my throat seize up and my eyes become irritated.

"Please Jasper. I…I love you."

He turned round and stared at me.

"What?"

I stood up too.

"I love you." I said confidently. "You were the first face I can remember seeing. When I woke up, my first vision was of you. I've been looking for you ever since because I know you are my future Jasper. My visions only work if a decision has already been made. My future was always the same because I'd made my decision. I'm never going to leave you Jasper. You are the most important thing in my life now and what ever you want, I'll help you with it."

I sighed after my long speech. I kept my eyes averted from his, afraid as to what he might say.

He placed one finger under my chin and pushed it up so I was forced to meet his gaze.

"Is that really how you feel."

I laughed. "You should know."

He chuckled. The sound was all gold.

"Yeah." We stood there for a moment, until he dropped his hand. My neck was craned up, but it wasn't uncomfortable at all. One of the many perks of being a vampire.

"You are really small, do you know that." He teased, breaking the tension.

"Maybe you're just abnormally tall. How's the weather up there?" I fired back.

He grinned, as did I. but his face soon became sombre. He sighed.

"Well, you better get used to having two weather reports because I don't think I'm going anywhere right now."

My face lit up.

"Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him as tightly as I could.

"You won't regret this. I promise."

"No, I don't think I will. You're growing on me already."

We laughed together and walked out of the café into the rain, hand in hand.

Yay, so they're together now.

How's it going so far? Is it what people expected?

If you want it to turn in a certain direction, leave a review and I'll do what I can for you :)
