Chapter 2-

RPOV-

We followed one of the nurses down a brightly lit hallway to reach Alice's room. I visited her twice a week, even though I couldn't talk to her, and she no longer had any idea who I was. She was my best friend once, and I missed her. Today was the last day I was coming to see her. Emmett, my boyfriend, convinced me that it was time to let go. She wasn't getting out of here any time soon, and she obviously wasn't getting any better. If anything it had become worse. She has been here for nearly two years, and she has recently been talking about monsters with red eyes coming to get her. It was getting ridiculous. If it were anyone but Alice I'm sure I wouldn't give a damn. I would spend time shopping, or getting my nails done rather then visiting who ever was in here… if it were anyone but Alice.

"The doctor will be here shortly, He has the key, so I can't open the slot for you. However he will when he gets here."

She walked away, and I stood silently as she walked away. Her echoing footsteps were a noisy reminder of the place we were in. I sighed heavily as I prepared myself to really say goodbye to my best friend. Emmett put a comforting arm around my shoulder. I smiled up at him, and then looked over to Jasper. He had been pretty messed up about this. He was her boyfriend. The week before she was put in here he was planning on proposing. He still hasn't gotten over it, and he has been to scared to ever visit. This will be his first and last. He was nervously pacing back and forth, and it was almost annoying. Suddenly the doctor was standing right next to us. I didn't even hear him approach. I faced him, and he smiled slightly.

"How is she today?"

"The same as she always is Ms. Hale. I'm sorry to say that she might even be getting worse."

"I was afraid of that…"
"We all were. We actually have to transfer her to a more specialized hospital in northern Mississippi later this week."

Jasper looked up suddenly, and you could see the sadness written all over his features.

"Who are your other friends?"

"This is my boyfriend Emmett, and this was Alice's fiancé Jasper."
"Oh…I'm so sorry. I haven't seen you here before. No one ever said anything about her relationships."
"I've been too nervous to show up here… to see her like she is now. To be perfectly honest I don't know that I'm even going to go through with it today."

"I understand. Well let me open the slot for you, and you can see her for ten minutes."

I nodded. He put the key into the slot, and it made a loud sound as it turned. He pulled the key out, and opened the slot before walking away. I looked inside the poorly lit room, and noticed Alice sitting in the same corner she was usually in. Her arms were wrapped around her legs, and she sat there sobbing quietly. It broke my heart. At least she wasn't in the fetal position like last week. I stepped away from the door so that Jasper could look. I motioned him forward with my hands. He just stood there.

"Go ahead Jazz."
"Don't call me that."
"Sorry. Do you want to see her?"
"I…I can't."

I nodded. I turned back to the small opening in the door and peeked inside.

"Alice?"

Her head snapped to attention at the sound of my voice.

"Alice it's me…it's Rose."

"Rose?"
"Yeah sweetie. It's me. Jasper is here."
"Jazz?"

She sounded excited. I smiled. This is the first time she recognized anyone's name. This is the first time she showed any emotion other then fear. Alice stood up and walked to the slot.

"Jazz is here?"
"Do you remember Jazz?"

"Can I see him?"

I turned to look at Jasper, and ears were rolling down his face. He finally stepped forward to see Alice.

"Hey honey." He said sobbing as he looked at her.

"Oh my god. Jazzy…I miss you so much. Where have you been?"

He started to cry harder.

"When Rose told me you weren't remembering anyone I didn't bother. I was scared to come see you. I didn't want to know you forgot me."

"I couldn't forget you. I thought about you every day."

"I love you Alice."
"I love you too."

"I miss you so much. You need to get better so hat you can get out of here."
"They don't have a cure for the sort of thing I have."
"Lie to them. Tell them you don't have visions anymore. I don't care if you do. I don't even care if you're making it up. I just want you to come home."

"I will. I'll tell them I stopped in two weeks. I won't say anything for two weeks. To give them time to believe it."
"Sweetie you don't have two weeks. They're taking you to a special care unit in northern Mississippi this week."

They were both crying now, and I grabbed Emmett by the arm and pulled him away to give them some privacy. We walked down the hall to wait.

APOV-

"I don't want to ever leave you again."

I couldn't believe he was really here. He was all I ever thought about. The only person I remembered.

"You said that Rose told you I wasn't remembering anyone…when has she been here to visit?"
"She comes here once a week."
"I have never seen her."

"Well she's definitely been here. She has record's of it with Dr. Cullen."

"I guess I blocked those thoughts out. I've been so consumed with my own thoughts…I just don't know where the time goes. I'm so scared."

"I know…you'll hopefully be home soon."

Tears began flowing from his eyes again. I missed those eyes. I missed looking into them everyday. I missed kissing him, and the way he held me. Now I was crying again. He reached into the slot in the door, and touched my face gently. I took hold of his hand and kissed it.

"I've missed you so much." I whispered.

"I know… me to."

I was thankful he still loved me after all this time. Even though I was crazy. It didn't matter to him. He just wanted me back. I think I could face this with him. Maybe I could even learn to control it.

He pulled his hand back. And I could here footsteps approaching the door. Jasper turned his head, and the turned back to me sobbing harder. I knew that meant that the nurse was coming to tell him to leave.

"Please don't go."
"I don't want to."

"Sir…"

I started crying harder.

"No…please."

Jasper grabbed my face through the slot and brought my face close. I understood immediately. When h pulled his hands away I was already waiting. He leaned in as much as he could, and our lips met in a fierce needing way. It was enough to make me happy until I got out of here, however the kiss ended much to soon as the nurse pulled him away.

"I'll miss you." Were his last words before the slot closed and the dark swallowed me whole once again.

Doctor Cullen's point of view-

I thanked the four for coming to visit Alice, and promised to send them news soon. They left, and I immediately wiped the façade off my face.

"Nurse."

"Yes sir." She said standing at attention.

"Bring me my remedy."

"Of course sir."

I walked down the white hallway to Mary Brandon's room. She did smell so sweet. And I needed her to seem crazy. I had to make it look convincing when she 'kills herself'. Everyone who worked at the institution knew what was going on of course. We were all vampires. But we need things like this for show. I imagine that this foresight she has will serve useful to the Volturi if she is changed, and I will be rewarded greatly. I opened her cell door, and smiled at the sight of her. She was a luscious little thing.

The nurse showed up shortly afterward with Mary's shot.

"Time for your medication Mary."

"Do I have to take it today? I feel fine, and I haven't had a vision since yesterday morning. I think I may already be cured."
"Better safe then sorry."

She nodded, and I stuck her in the arm with the needle. She winced, and I smiled. Her pain was my pleasure. I tuned around and left. Before closing the door I said, "Sleep well." I smiled knowing that soon she wouldn't remember her visit from her love, and she would again be alone.

APOV-

My head felt funny after that shot. I sat down on my cot, and held my head in between my hands. Everything felt hazy. I was having trouble recalling what happened earlier. I didn't want to forget about Jasper's visit today. It gave me new hope. The room began spinning, and I clenched my eyes shut.

I sprang up and looked around. I was on the cold floor near my cot. I never lay by cot. I crawled into the corner and began sobbing. I wrapped my arms around my knees, and rocked back and forth. What happened? I questioned myself. How did I end up by the cot?
