Alice laid on her bed softly crying. Thoughts of Jasper were just too much for her. She'd be lying if she said she never thought of him, especially late at night, but she'd also be lying if she said she never tried to push those thoughts away. It was all just too overwhelming. This was not how fairy tales were supposed to play out. Before Jasper, Alice didn't believe in fairy tale, but he had of way of changing everything around on her. She still didn't believe in Disney's idea of a fairy tale. No, now she had her own idea of fairy tale. The plot changed entirely, but one thing remained the same: "and they lived happily ever after." That was a fairy tale to Alice. If in the end you lived happily every after, then you lived a fairy tale.

This, however, did not look like it was in the plan for Alice now. She wanted Jasper back now. He wasn't supposed to end up in prison, much less for statutory rape. He never raped her. The idea was fucking ridiculous. She tried over and over again to tell everyone one that, but no one listened. It was all fucking Stan's fault. He fucked everything up for his own sick pleasure. Mother fucking cunt, he was.

Since Jasper left, Stan's behavior had gotten increasingly worse. Alice could only bury his secret for so long, before someone dug it up. The one person who knew the truth was locked up behind bars. How convenient for Stan, right? Yeah, I'm sure he thought so too.

For all Alice knew Jasper was still in prison. She had no idea the very one she wanted to hold so badly was just outside her bedroom door.

Jasper stood outside her bedroom door listening to Alice. At first, he wanted to rush in the moment he heard her begin to cry. The sound of her pain mixed with his own just wasn't fair. At least one of them deserved to be happy. He had always hoped that one would be Alice. Jasper never moved though. He didn't know why she was crying. He worried that if he showed up he would just make it worse. They hadn't seen each other in a year. What the hell would he say to her.

Hey, honey. Sorry you feel like shit. Whatever it is, hey at least it ain't prison.

Yeah, that probably wouldn't go over well. Slowly Jasper slid to the floor, leaned his head against the door, and just listened. A year ago Jasper would have known exactly what to say. He'd have Alice smiling in seconds, but now he was completely lost. Their connection was still there, he was sure of that, but the more technical stuff like what the fuck to say. Well that was something else.

As Alice's cries subsided, Jasper let out a breath he had been holding in. He heard her move around and quickly dogged into another room. Looking around he noticed he was in the guest bathroom. Sunlight poured in through the window. He looked at himself in the mirror and was disgusted. Here he was hiding out in a bathroom in the house of the girl who couldn't wait to see once he got out of being in prison for her and he couldn't even face her. Instead, he was causing her to cry. Some fucking man he was. Jasper stormed out of the bathroom, down the stairs, and out of Alice's out. He didn't even think to make sure no one saw him, but thankfully no one did, not even Alice. He continued to walk angrily away and soon broke out running. Anything to get away from her. He couldn't stand to be near her. The guilt was just too fucking much for him. He was like a weak little snot-nosed boy.

Jasper knocked furiously on an old friend's door. He was done running, now he was ready for a solution. No one answered, but he could hear voices inside along with loud music; which was no doubt why no one heard him knocking. So Jasper banged on the door louder and yelled, "Hey man, open up the fucking door already."

A few seconds later the door was thrown open and there stood Jasper's old friend completely shocked to see him.

"Holy shit." His friend hollered.

"Nice to see you too." Jasper said stepping inside.

"When the hell did you get out?" He asked following him.

"Uh... yesterday."

"Fuck, man I would come and got you."

Jasper turned around with a smirk on his face. "Yeah, cause that would of looked good. Getting picked up by a known drug deal."

With a big smile the guy said, " Every ones jealous of those in high places."

Jasper laughed. "Edward you haven't changed at all."

"Hell no man." Edward said leading them over to the couch.

Edward had been best friends with Jasper since they were fifteen. They tried their first hits together and they both dropped out together at sixteen. Pretty much every bad decision they shouldn't have made, they made it together. Edward was six feet tall, lean like Jasper, but had the craziest bronze hair. Jasper always joked that pennies were jealous of him. He wore dark wash jeans and a black t-shirt.

Both guys sat down on an old beaten up couch just chilling.

"So how's life been without me?" Jasper asked casually, but Edward picked up on the edge in his voice.

"Boring as hell. Life sure is dull without a right hand man."

Jasper chuckled. "Same here."

"Yeah, but uh ya know Emmett?"

"Dude I was in prison, not dead. Course I remember him. He's too fucking big to forget. The guy ate everything in the fridge."

Edward chuckled. "Yeah, well after you left said he didn't feel right being the only bum now so he got a job as a bouncer down at that club, Eclipse."

"Holy shit. He works now?" Jasper said amazed. Emmett rarely ever worked for his money.

"Yup. Big guy like him. He's pretty good at his job."

"I bet. That fucker could take on anyone."

It felt kinda weird Jasper thought to be here without Emmett. Before Jasper was sent to prison, he and Emmett used to crash here at Edward's place until finally they just pretty much lived there.

"He stays here sometimes, though." Edward mumbled.

"Where's he live when he's not here?"

"Hell if I know, but I ain't sure I want to what with the company he keeps."

"True." Jasper said chuckling. "What about you man? You still with Tanya."

"Me and Tanya? No fucking way man. Bitch was bat shit crazy." Edward said making a disgusted face. Jasper remembered that other than the sex, Edward wasn't Tanya's biggest fan. But hey when the sex is good, the sex is good, and so is everything else. "Nah, now I'm with this girl Bella."

"Bella." Jasper said mumbling the name. It sounded so familiar, but he couldn't quite place why. "Don't know her." He finally said.

Edward just laughed. "Every ones in the kitchen. You want a beer?"

"Sure."

"Bella, can you get me two beers?" Edward called out.

"Sure. One sec." A girl yelled back.

"That's nice of her." Jasper said.

Edward smirked. "She's a pleaser in every sense of the word."

Both the guys laughed.

"Hey, I was hoping for a little extra while I was here." Jasper finally said.

Edward smiled like a little boy that discovered his first playboy magazine. "What did you have in mind?"

"You know me. I'm always up for my favorite."

"Thought you'd say that."

Edward left the room and Jasper assumed wandered in to his. That was where Edward usually kept his personal stash. Edward always said what's worth happiness is worth protecting. Moments later Edward strolled back in with a huge grin. "You're gonna love this." He simple said.

Edward set up for slim lines for them. He handed Jasper the tiny straw and said have at it. Jasper leaned down with the straw and snorted his first line in over a leaned back and shook his head. "Fuck man." He said leaning down for another and quickly moving on to a third before leaning back against the couch.

Edward laughed. " Well that third one you took was for me, but alright."

Jasper chuckled. "Sorry man, but I needed it."

Edward made another line for himself and snorted the two lines.

"Dude," Jasper said "Where the fuck is Bella with those beers?"

Edward had completely forgotten about the beers, but now that Jasper had mentioned them he wanted one. "Bella." Edward yelled.

"Jesus Christ" Bella yelled back angrily. "I'm coming."

Edward chuckled. "She's coming." He said mockingly.

Jasper smiled back at him. God he missed his friends.

Suddenly a short, thin girl with long brunette hair appeared and Jasper instantly recognized her. He couldn't see her eyes, but he knew what they would look like. Brown doe eyes, they pierced right through you.

"Dammit." The girl said. "I forget mine while grabbing yours." She said teasingly.

"Sorry, love." Edward said smiling. Anyone could tell he wasn't really sorry, just happy that he got his beer.

As Bella left, Jasper quickly turned to his friend.

"Dude, that's Isabella, Jacob's girl. You took Jacob's girl?"

Edward smiled mischievously. "I didn't take her, Jasper. I fucking stole her." Edward declared proudly as he high-fived Jasper.

"How the hell did all this happen?" Jasper said excitingly.

Edward was just as ecstatic. "Couple of months ago. Some of us were down at LaPush on first beach just causing some fucking trouble. Bella was there standing in the ocean past her knees. I have no fucking idea how the hell she wasn't freezing to death, but I went up to her and I guess they got in some fight and she was out there crying.

"Shit. You can't stand crying girls."

"I know. I was thinking of leaving. It's always just so annoying. But the water pushed her and she stumbled back so I caught her. Damn Jasper I saw her face and-"

"Yeah, yeah I know. Touched by an angel and all that love of your life bullshit." Jasper said goofing off, but Edward still looked serious.

"Nah man. Here face was so fucked up."

"What?" Jasper said not expecting this.

"The fucker had beat the shit out of her. Her face looked like she had done 12 rounds with a fucking butcher."

"Damn." Jasper said. "I knew he had a tendency to throw some slaps, but that's fucked up."

"Yeah," Suddenly Edward was smiling again. "So I just threw on some of my magic, swooped in, and well his girl is now my girl."

"Nice man." Jasper said slapping Edward on the back.

The boys and Jacob always had a rivalry going ever since Jacob tried to steal some Edward's drugs. Emmett caught him though and beat the shit out of him. None of the boys felt like forgiveness was in the works so the feud just kept going, and sharing girlfriends was not a good way of forgiving Jacob, though Edward joked that it was his way of saying were all good now.

"Yeah, and the best part man she just turned seventeen. Totally legal." Edward was all smiles.

"Lucky you." Even a year later Alice was still too young in the eyes of the law.

"Sorry." Edward felt kind of guilty for bringing it up. "but after you went away," he said it almost like it was a trip. As if, Jasper thought. "Everyone got real spooked. I mean no one thought anything would really happen, but guess it did."

"Yeah, I guess it did." Jasper said remorsefully.

Bella walked back in to the living room and about five people followed her. Everyone sat around the table. Some Jasper recognized, but others were just strangers.

"Hey Jazz." James said as he and jasper slapped hands and bumped fists. Bella rolled her eyes at such a cliche guy thing.

"James." Jasper said happy to see another familiar face. He'd only met James a couple times before he went to hell, but the guys seemed cool enough.

"Hey Eric." Jasper said to his friend. Eric was a little geeky, but always managed to entertain Jasper.

"Jasper. Haven't seen you in a while. What's up?" Eric replied.

"Nothing just came over to say hi to everybody."

"Oh yeah," Edward said staring to get up, but then realizing Bella was on his lap." Oh sorry, love." He said sitting again. "Jasper this is Jessica, Lauren, and Mike." He said pointing out everyone to Jasper and then in a lower voice he said only to Jasper, "Mike's got a thing for Bella."

"Oh." Jasper said knowing what that meant. Mike, watch out man.

Suddenly Bella playfully slapped Edward on his chest. "Watch it. I heard that."

Edward made a face as if to say 'What did I do?'.

"Seems like you're gonna cause a lot of trouble, Bella." Jasper joked.

"Hey," Bella pointed at herself making an innocent face. "I'm the peace keeper."

"Right." Edward said skeptically.

"Fine, no love for you."

"No, no, no baby. You're the peace keeper alright." Edward rushed out saying. Bella smiled triumphantly. "Sorry Jazz, but a man can only live for so long without some things and that ain't one of them."

Jasper laughed at Edward's facial expression. He knew exactly what Edward was talking about. The past year had been really fucking painful for Jasper.

"So how was prison?" James bluntly asked.

Not cool.

"Peachy." Jasper replied back just as bluntly.

"Wait you were in prison?" One of the girls asked obnoxiously.

"Lauren!" The other girl scolded. Ah so the obnoxious one was Lauren.

"Yes." Jasper replied stiffly.

"Did you like do it with other guys?" The obnoxious girl went on.

Jasper raised his eye brow at her. "No."

"But I mean like did other guys do it with you, then?" She looked as if she could barely the words out of her fucking mouth.

"And I still mean no." There was an obvious edge in Jasper's voice. He didn't like this girl. Her voice was pumped with too much candy. He could feel his teeth aching just listening to her. And worse of all she was bringing down his buzz. At first he felt pretty good. He wasn't worried about Alice anymore. Everything felt like it would fall into place. Now though, since that bitch started talking, he felt more tense and like at any moment he was gonna be attacked. He really didn't like this girl. She lacked all common sense to shut up. It wasn't like Jasper wasn't desperate for some action, but he never stooped down low enough to fuck another guy. Sure, guys tried to us him, but Jasper never gave them a chance. Any fucker that came near him with their dick was risking their own life. Jasper Whitlock was no one's bitch.

An awkward silence filled the air as no one knew what to say after that little interrogation.

"Hey did I tell James is my new partner?" Edward said to bring back the conversation.

"Nah man. How's that going?" Jasper said trying to feel the light heartedness he almost had before.

"Great." James said. "I'm helping him to get some new customers."

"Where about?" Jasper asked.

"Here and there, but it's a much more prestigious clientele."

Jasper looked at Edward confused.

"He knows some people in high places that aren't supposed to be hooked but are anyway so they need to get it real quiet, and that's where he comes in."

"I make it look like real nice. Like we're just two old friends having a chat."

Jasper evaluated James. He looked pretty rough. Tattered, old jeans, a white wife beater, and dirty, long hair pulled back. Jasper didn't think he would pass as an old friend among those kind of people.

"I clean up, of course." James offered. "Hell some times I even where a suit." This made everyone laugh. It was just hard to picture James dressed nicely, much less in a suit. "What? I can pull it off."

"Right." Eric said sarcastically.

"Hey, Edward. Wanna give me another line? Someone dragged me down." He said eyeing the bitch. Lauren snorted at his reference.

"Sure."

"Can I have some?" Eric asked.

"No. I am not handing out freebies on a regular basis. This is just for my man because he's been caged for the past year. Hope you gave em' hell man."

Jasper laughed as Edward made the line. "Sure did."

He snorted the heavenly powder and all felt right again.

I know, Edward as a drug dealer y'all are probably like WHAT THE FUCK? But c'mon any guy who compares the girl he loves to heroin is definitely a drug dealer. Promise!

Btw, just in case anyone is wondering the actual legal age for sex in Washington is sixteen, but I wanted Alice to still be underage, even a year later, for the added tension.
