A/n #2: May of you have had some questions, the ones about Jasper and Bella being mates, well I'm not going to answer that one yet, you'll have to wait till I'm good and ready to let you in on that secret.*evil laugh* However, the questions about Alice and what she knows and if she is evil or not, I'll answer now in the first half of this chapter so you all can get a feel on her. So, over to Alice now and I hope y'all like her.
Alice POV
Well, it's about time those two fools finally figured out a way to get around Edward's stupid rule about not going near each other. I thought that I was going to have to step in and gently nudge Jasper and Bella into finding a way to communicate. I hate Edward and that stupid rule of his, like Jasper would ever do anything to harm Bella, when he looked at her, he didn't see a blood bag, just a human who didn't judge any of us for being vampires but Edward was such ass that he couldn't see past what Jasper did to survive when he was turned.
I thought that it was a great idea for them to write letters to each other, this way here if they are kept well hidden, Edward will never become wiser to what they are doing. However, Bella will have to start letting Edward spend the night with her again or he is going to get more possessive of her; if that's even possible, and then Bella won't be able to do anything without him hanging around 24/7.
I had seen when they made the decision to start writing to each other and I have made sure ever since to keep that part a secret from Edward, I didn't need that ass fucking things up. They both needed this if they were ever going to learn the truth of what was staring them in the face.
I was brought out of my thoughts by my phone buzzing letting me know that I had a new text. I picked up my phone and opened my messenger and saw that it was from Peter.
Peter: What's up Pix?
Alice: Like you don't know why I texted.
Peter: Yeah, just like you didn't know it was me before you looked at your phone *winks*
Alice: Shut up! *sticks tongue out* Anyways, it's about your brother.
Peter: What that ass do now?
Alice: Nothing, I just wanted to let you know that him and Bella finally pulled their heads out of their asses and have figured out a way to get around Edward's stupid rule.
Peter: Bout goddamn time. Thought I was gonna have to come up there and push them in the right direction.
Alice: Same here.
Peter: So, how long do you think it will take them?
Alice: Hard to say, it's up to them now.
Peter: True, keep me posted. I'll be up to see him in a month; I hope he's told her about me by then because I can't wait to meet her.
Alice: I hope he does as well. Say hi to Char and I'll see you both in a month.
Peter: Will do Pix. Let me know if you need anythin' before I get up there.
Alice: I will bye.
Peter: Bye.
Peter is a great guy and I was glad that he was with Jasper for the latter half of his time with Maria otherwise I didn't know what would have become of the Jasper I know and love today. I decided to see if I could search Jasper and Bella's futures to make sure that everything was still on track, I was just about to be sucked in when I heard Edward, "Alice, where are you?"
I pulled myself of the vision and said, "Up here Edward, what do you want?"
There was a knock on my door and I went to answer it, "I need to talk about Bella," was Edward's reply when I opened the door to my room.
"What about?" I asked already know what exactly he wanted to talk about.
"Do you know why she hasn't wanted me to stay over for the past two nights?"
"No Edward I don't. Maybe she just wants some space."
"I give her space." he growled.
"No, you don't. You are always hovering over her."
"I need to protect her," the growl was getting louder.
"From what exactly?" I asked laughing.
"You know full well that she needs to be protected from Jasper."
"Oh god, this again?" I asked with annoyance dripping in my voice.
"He's dangerous. You know full well that he is."
Now, I was the one who was pissed, "He's no more fucking dangerous that you are. Not get out of my way, I'm not going to stand here and listen to you anymore."
I made to move and Edward grabbed my upper arm, "just make sure you piece of shit friend stays away from my girlfriend."
"He's not a piece of shit you asshole," I growled out and then I pushed him so hard that he went flying down the hall. "Talk about Jasper that way again and I'll rip your fucking head off."
"You wouldn't dare," Edward roared.
"Wanna try me?" I said advancing on him; my eyes black as night.
He huffed and then jumped to his feet and flew out of the house.
Once I made sure he was long gone, I went back to my room, closed my eyes and after calming down, I went back to make sure that everything was still good with Jasper and Bella's futures. After searching for a bit, I was pleased to see that everything was still on track. I then decided to go to Vancouver for the weekend just to get away from Edward. I packed a few things, made sure I had my cell; purse and then let Em and Rose know that I would be back on Monday. Rose asked if I wanted her to come and I told her that I would be fine, just wanted some time alone. With a nod from both, I took off running.

Bella's POV
When I woke up, I went straight to answering Jasper letter, I pulled out a lined piece of paper; determined to get some fancier paper soon, and then went to get Jasper's letter. After rereading it quickly again, I sent to work on my letter.
May 27, 2015
Dear Jasper,
Good morning, how are you? What did you do last night?
I have taken your suggestion into consideration and when I come over today, I'm going to tell Em about how much I really love sports.
God, Lauren is such an ass! Just because you guys wanted to talk to me and she acts like that? What is she a fucking toddler who gotten their favorite toy taken away? If she was nicer and not such a raving bitch, maybe you all would have talked to her as well.
Edward doesn't know shit and I'll never be molded into the perfect little housewife. I was never meant for that role and no matter what he does, I'll never achieve it. Doesn't he realize that I hate dresses, pearls and heels? Hell I can't walk in goddamn heels without falling flat on my ass. I'm not perfect and the only thing that a man will ever enjoy me doing for him is cooking and baking because I'm really good at doing that. Thank you for not going to coddle me, I get enough of it from Edward and I don't need anyone else doing it for me.
Really, you're from Texas? I would never have guessed that HAHA. *winks*. Though I would like to hear your accent, is it thick? Like one of those people who you can never figure out what in the hell they are saying or is it thick but you can still understand? So, if you worked with your father with his carpentry, does that mean that you can do woodwork as well or did you help him in a different way?
What was your sister like? And what about Peter? Did he look like your father or more your mother? Or perhaps he looked like you. Wow, so both you and Peter went to fight? Did Peter ever make it back? Your poor mother if she had lost both of you that must have killed her. So, can I start calling you Major Whitlock now?
So Alice has always been annoying then? Ha-ha just kidding. I'm glad that she was there for you when you needed it the most and I'm sorry that I thought you were in love with each other. Well, I mean mated to each other because clearly you love each other but not in the same way that Em and Rose love each other obviously. Sorry, rambling; just woke up not that long ago. It's sad that Alice doesn't know much about her past, has either of you tried to find out more about what she was like as a human?
Ok, now on to your questions for me.
Answer 1) Well let's see, Renee was a good mother; ok well most of the times she does something stupid and she was kinda flakey but she still provided for me, made sure I had a roof over my head, food in my stomach, clothes on my back and went to school every day.
The reason that her and my dad split up was because they realized that they were two completely different people. They got caught up in a whirlwind romance and got married quickly and then had me, by the time they had come down from that whirlwind, they realized that they hardly had anything in common. Mom wanted to be able to travel and see the world while doing stupid things along the way and dad wanted to settle down and provide for his family. They had tried to make it work for me but they realized that there was no hope for them, that they were better off being friends. So mom left with me when I was two years old.
We moved around a lot finally settling down in Arizona and mom made sure that I spent as much time with Charlie as humanly possible. I would see him in the summer time and on certain holidays as well. She had different boyfriends who didn't last a month until she met Phil, he was a baseball player; minor league, but he was also a free spirit like mom was. I could see that mom had wanted desperately to travel with Phil and so that's when I made the decision to come and live with Charlie.
Answer 2) My relationship with Charlie started out pretty rocky. It was fine when I was younger but as I got older he was completely confused on how to deal with me as I'm sure most men are with their daughters. There were times when he couldn't figure out why I was so moody, he thought that I should always be this happy little girl that he knew when I was ten.
When I told him that I had decided to come and live with him two years ago, he was shocked at first and then he clicked in to cop mode asking me if everything was alright at home, did my mother do something to me or maybe one of her boyfriends touched me in a way that I didn't like. Once I assured him that none of those things were the case, that I wanted to be able to give mom the life that she has always wanted, getting to travel all over he finally agreed. When I first moved in it was odd because we really didn't know, know one another anymore. We didn't know what it was going to be like living together and so there was a lot of awkward silence but soon we were able to get into a good groove and I think that we are going to be fine now. He really is a great man and he's always wanting to make sure that I'm still happy living with him, that I have everything that I need and also, that I'm not throwing my life away on Edward.
Ok, now on to your questions; and yes, I know that I have asked you little questions through this letter but I want to ask more.
Question 1) Tell me about Peter, please. In your letter you said that you'll tell me more about him, is this a good time to do it?
Question 2) What do you like to do with all your free time?
Well, I guess that's it for now. I'm going to get ready so that I can come over and leave this with you and hopefully return home tonight with a new letter from you. Oh, almost forgot, glad that you like the name that I have given our correspondence.
See you soon,
Bella.
Once the letter was done, I got dressed and then went down to spend some time with dad before I went to the Cullens.
"Morning, Bells, I went ahead and made breakfast for us today."
"Morning, dad and thank."
He nodded and I went to get a plate so that I can throw on some banana chocolate chip pancakes and a couple of strips of bacon. I then put it in the microwave for a few minutes and sat down once it was done across from dad who was currently doing the daily crossword puzzle.
"So, what are your plans for the day Bells?" Dad inquired when I was halfway through my breakfast.
"I was planning on going over to visit the Cullens for awhile," I responded.
"I see," he replied with a huff.
"Yeah, I've decided that I'm going to let Emmett know that I really do love sports, so I'll probably be with him most of the time."
"Emmett's a good kid,"
"Yes, he is."
"What are your plans for tonight then?"
"I don't know." I said while standing up and starting to clean up the kitchen now that I was done eating.
"Well, Jacob and Billy asked if we wanted to go down to their house for a barbeque."
"Sure, sounds great. What time?"
"About 5:30,"
"Sounds good, I'll see you then."
"See you Bells, have a good day."
I then gave him a hug, went upstairs to get dressed and get Jasper's letter and then I headed out to my truck and drove over to the Cullens.
Upon arriving at the Cullens, I was greeted by Edward who was going out for a hunt, but that he would be back soon. I was pleased by this and after giving him a quick kiss and telling him to have fun, I went inside. Rose, Esme, Carlisle and Em all greeted me, I was told that Alice was gone for the weekend and I was kinda bummed out by that fact but I wasn't going to let it get me down. When Esme asked what I wanted to do, I told her that I wanted to spend some time with Em. Esme nodded and then her and Carlisle went outside to do some gardening, Rose went up to her room saying that she was working on something and wanted to get it finished.
"Alright little sis, looks like it's just you and I," Em said once everyone cleared the room.
"Guess so. Where's Jasper?" I questioned.
"Up in his room reading, I think."
"I see."
"Yeah, so anyways what do you want to do?"
"Well there is something that I want to tell you first before we make any decisions."
"And what's that little sis?"
"You know how I've always said that I hate sports,"
"Yeah?"
"Well, I lied."
"I'm hurt, I'm wounded. How could you lie to your favorite vampire brother?" Em asked with a look of mock anger on his face.
"I don't know, guys usually think I'm weird when I say that I really love sports, so I just gotten into the habit of lying about it. I really didn't mean to hurt you."
"Alright, I forgive you. But it's payback time now."
"I figured that. We are going to watch a lot of sports aren't we?"
"Yep." he replied while popping the p.
"Well then brother, lead on."
Once Em turned to make his way into the living room, I made sure that no one was looking and popped the letter into the slot and then jogged into the living room. I couldn't wait to get Jasper's reply.
