A/N: This is a very short chapter. I'm suffering from writers block. And besides that I haven't gotten a single review. Is this story really that terrible? I'm begging now. I need to know if its worth my time to continue. Even just one itsy bitsy review. Anyway, I'll try to work on another chapter. This time up, a little bit from Alice.

There's just no rhyme of reason

Only this sense of completion

And in your eyes I see the missing pieces

I'm searching for, I think I found my way home.

-I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden-

Alice couldn't believe her luck. She'd gotten on the plane to New York without any idea if she'd find what it was she was looking for. And she was used to coming back home disappointed. This wasn't the first time she'd gotten a feeling she was supposed to be somewhere. And when she got the feelings she usually picked up and went. It didn't matter where to. Her family was used to it as well even though they didn't always agree. Her grandparents didn't think a girl her age should be gallivanting around the globe looking for whatever it was she was looking for. And she never found it, whatever it was.

But she'd boarded the plane at her layover in Columbia and sat down next to a guy who was making her brain feel like it was going haywire. He may as well have been wearing a giant neon sign that said 'Alice, I'm vital to your search'.

So, she'd struck up a conversation unsure how he'd respond. She knew she sounded insane. It wouldn't be the first time someone had told her that and she knew that it certainly wouldn't be the last.

Edward had reacted better than she thought he would. She realized that was probably because he thought she was cute. She'd noticed him looking her up and down.

As the conversation went on, Alice started to feel desperate. She knew he was someone who could help her. She started hinting that maybe he should take her home with him. She briefly wondered if Edward was what she had been searching her whole life for. She felt a pang of disappointment. She'd thought that when she found it she would feel like she'd just made the biggest accomplishment of her life. And she didn't feel that way now. She just felt he was someone important to her search.
Alice was shocked when Edward actually offered to take her home. Maybe he was crazy. But she'd take it if he could help her solve the puzzle.

After they got off the plane, the two of them took a cab to Edward's parents house. It was massive and gorgeous. Edward gave her a quick tour before introducing her to his parents. His mother had done an amazing job with the décor. Each room flowed so perfectly together without being matchy matchy.

Esme and Carlisle were such beautiful people. They were a little surprised since Edward obviously hadn't told him he was bringing a guest, but they were very gracious anyway.

And then she and Edward had gone to the living room to continue getting to know each. That's where they were when he walked. She felt at that moment her search was finally over. The beautiful man with the shaggy blonde hair, her soul mate. She'd finally found it. She couldn't help herself, she stared at him as if she would die if she looked away. And it felt that way too. Every cliché she'd ever heard about love at first sight seemed to be happening. She saw fireworks or stars or sparks. She wasn't even aware of anything else except her and Jasper.

Once Edward finally got around to introducing her she realized that Jasper was staring at her too. But this seemed too convenient. There had to be a catch.

And that's when Bella slapped him and stalked out of the room. A girlfriend. Of course he had a girlfriend. A very pretty one too. That was what was standing in her way. Alice wished at that moment that she was an evil person with no qualms about stealing a man away from another woman. But she wasn't, so she supposed that fate had brought her this far. Surely there would be a happy ending for everyone.

After what seemed like mere seconds, but was actually much longer, Alice unwillingly broke eye contact with Jasper. She didn't know how long they'd actually been staring at each other, but she noticed Edward had left the room also.

"I guess you should go find your girlfriend," she said sadly. It actually hurt to say the words.

Jasper swallowed hard. "Yeah," he said breathlessly.

Bella. Yes. How could he have forgotten about Bella? Jasper had been in a trance, not being able to take his eyes off of Alice. He didn't know why. He did know that Bella was going to be pissed. She was going to want an explanation. He didn't have one.

He did, however, have an apology. He was being an asshole. He knew it. For now though, he'd just have to find her. Jasper headed for the front door, guessing Bella would have wanted to go outside to calm down. That was what she usually did.

As he neared the door it opened and Bella walked in directly followed by Edward. Had Edward gone looking for Bella? That didn't seem right.

"Hey, guys," Jasper said to get their attention since neither of them seemed to notice him standing there. Bella looked at him, but didn't say anything. He was right. She was pissed.

"Um, hey Jasper," Edward said. "We just took a walk," he explained.

"Uh-huh," Jasper felt irritated with his brother, but shook it off. He reached for Bella's hand. She didn't resist and she allowed him to pull her into him, but she did not soften her rigid body to him.

"Bella, I'm sorry," Jasper told her. "I don't know what came over me. I swear it won't happen again. I love you."

At that Bella melted into his arms and he knew he was forgiven.
