First off I would like to apologize for taking so long!! and for not posting my author's note when I first posted this chapter. I was really excited to post it and completely forgot about my charming remarks before the chap ;) Anywho! I had a surgery and moved these past two weeks so once again I'm really sorry. Updates will be a little slow because I'm not feeling so good right now but I promise that they will be posted as soon as I'm finished. Please don't forget to review! What you have to say totally pumps me up to write more :D

Question Time: Which Character POV do you like the most and why?

Jasper's POV:

I sighed and pulsed yet another wave of calm towards my parent's room. I was positive Carlisle was trying to make me go crazy.

"Carlisle please sit down, you're going to pace a hole into the floor"

I smiled. Esme was truly the perfect mother and wife in every way. She wasn't actually worried about the floor; in fact I think she would've enjoyed the challenge of repairing it, but no, she was worried about me and whether Carlisle would actually drive me over the edge with his hectic emotions or not.

"Please, have some faith in Bella; gone for two years or not she is still part of this family, we must believe she will come back to us."

I felt a wave of sadness rush to me from Esme after she said that to Carlisle. Wincing slightly I quickly sent a stronger wave of calm and reassurance towards their bedroom.

Though no one would ever admit it we were all broken and hurting since Bella and Edward disappeared two years ago. I sighed and rolled over onto my stomach holding my head in my hands. I could still remember Alice's emotions after she had her horrible vision two years ago.

"Their dead Jazz" I wrapped my arms around her tighter trying to hold her together but was failing miserably. "Its all my fault, I didn't see them in time, its all my fault!" She stopped crying and started to shake violently as she yet again ran the horrible picture through her head.

Edward's Volvo wrapped around the tree engulfed in flames. Ambulance and fire control trying to douse the raging flames. Bella and Edward's death was announced and a funeral date was planned. All of these images were continually flashing through her mind causing her to shake harder with every heart-breaking picture.

"Alice!" I was now on top of her trying to make her shaking stop but it only got worse. She was starting to break down I had to do something but it was hurting me so much. The agony she was feeling was almost crippling. "No love no. shhh, its not your fault that you didn't see it. You have no control over your visions, no one blames you for anything." I cooed in her ear.

I poured all of my calm and love into her, letting her feel everything I felt towards her. Slowly her shaking stopped and was replaced by loud broken sobs.

Scooping her up into my arms I held her for days. I promised her that I wouldn't let go until she was ready, until she was better.

After a week she was ready but even now two years later she was not any better.

Snapping out of my daze, Carlisle's now calm voice flooded my ears.

"Everyone please go to the living room for a family meeting."

Figuring the girls were home I sent one last powerful wave of calm over to Carlisle and Esme before hopping off the bed and quickly walking out the door at vampire speed, meeting Rose and Emmett in the hallway.

"Race you down Emmett." I called over my shoulder racing past my burly brother, chuckling at the confused then determined look on his face.

"Your on!" He bellowed as he bolted down the stairs. He caught my arm and whipped me behind him but I quickly jumped over his head and dived onto the big leather couch.

"Beat you" I smiled up at him smugly.

Considering beating the smile off my face Emmett took a few angry steps towards me. He quickly stopped though when Rosalie walked into the living room and looked at him. She started muttering something about water buffaloes on the way to the lazyboy but was interrupted by an adoring Emmett who scooped her up and gracefully plopped her down onto his lap in the chair. He had a wide goofy grin plastered on his face when she sighed and leaned back resting her head in the crook of his neck.

Sitting up I sat near one side of the couch, knowing that Alice would want to sit beside Bella as well as myself. This left the love seat for Esme and Carlisle.

I could tell immediately when Alice and Bella walked through the door. A huge wave of nervousness and hurt came flying at me causing me to gasp and wince. Emmett and Rosalie looked over to me worriedly but quickly understood when they heard talking in the other room.

"Welcome back Alice; Bella" Carlisle greeted formally. Even without my powers I would be able to tell Carlisle was nervous. He only used the formal host voice on his family when he was nervous.

A wave of hurt and sadness drifted into the hallway I'm guessing from Carlisle followed by another small wave of impatience by none other than my little Alice.

Knowing that Carlisle would be leading them into the living room any minute I turned my attention towards the living room's entrance waiting to see my love once more.

Carlisle and Esme walked in first, him leading her towards the love seat knowing that I wanted to sit by Alice.

Her and Bella quickly came through the doors pausing once in view. I looked into Alice's sparkling eyes and fell in love all over again. Her eyes held an intense love reserved for only me. I was so lucky she found me, my little Alice, the love of my life. Slowly a flashback of the first time I saw her seeped into my mind.

Walking in I noticed there was another one of us in the diner. She was beautiful but I had yet to find one who wasn't. There was something different about this one though. After looking at her quickly I noticed that she was extremely short, only up to my collarbones with short spiky black hair. I gasped when her eyes met mine; instead of the horrid red color, there was an intense golden one.

Trapped in her gaze I couldn't move. She hopped gracefully off of the stool and stood just infront of me placing her hand on my cheek.

"You've kept me waiting a long time." She breathed bringing her hand up to my face cupping my cheek.

"I'm sorry ma'am." I drawled.

She pulled her hand away from my face much to my displeasure but grabbed my hand leading me towards the door. Little did I know that she was leading me towards the rest of my life.

A shockwave of pain drifted through my body causing me to cringe. Snapping back to the present I noticed Alice giving Bella a small glare. Not wanting them to fight I patted the couch beside me inviting both of them to sit with me. Alice smiled and gracefully sat by my side. Bella hesitated and looked around the room, I could feel the love and regret she felt while looking around the room. Sighing she crossed the room and sat beside Alice.

The room was dead silent. Everyone was looking between Bella and Carlisle waiting for something to happen. The tension in the room was almost unbearable, so I sent a wave of confidence and curiosity towards my burly brother.

Clearing his throat Emmett looked towards Carlisle asking what the meeting was about. Thankful for the tension breaker I sighed and smiled at him. From the corner of my eye I could see Alice slip her hand into Bella's, squeezing it reassuringly.

"We're all here today because Bella has some things to tell us." Carlisle looked over towards Bella and nodded his head. "Bella the floor is all yours."

Frustration then humor swept through Bella right before I heard her voice in my mind.

Hi guys, so instead of telling you out loud I decided to show you instead. I can read minds and put messages into other people's minds.

I was overcome by a vast array of emotions; humor from Bella, shock from Esme and Emmett, understanding from Carlisle, shock and some anger from Rosalie, and an almost unbearable amount of giddiness from my wife.

Sending one giant wave of calm over the room I quietly looked towards Bella smiling over my wife and said hello through my mind.

Looking at my now bouncing wife I put both of my hands on Alice's shoulders and pumped an almost dangerous amount of calm into her. To anyone else it would probably have put them into a calm induced coma, but sometimes Alice's emotions was cause for drastic measures.

I had almost stopped her bouncing when her and Bella suddenly cringed. Looking over at Emmett I could see the goofy sheepish grin on his face. Bracing myself for what I assumed was coming I felt an almost crippling amount of humor and giddiness coming from Alice once again. She was now holding her sides trying to breath, her bell like laughter was flowing around the living room causing everyone else to smirk or chuckle themselves.

Laughing myself from Alice's strong emotions, I grabbed her into a tight embrace and pulsed all of my calm and love into her desperately trying to get her to calm down and stop laughing.

Unprepared for the emotional break I quickly pushed Alice away from me when she suddenly stopped laughing. With the amount of calm I was pushing into her it would've surely caused more harm than good. I sighed and slid back towards Alice smiling apologetically at her. She put her hand to my cheek and kissed me softly letting me know that it was all right and that she appreciated what I did.

I looked past Alice noticing that Bella had lowered her head and was nodding, ashamed for some reason. Curious about what was going on I opened myself to the emotions flowing around the room.

Immediately pinpointing what was distressing Bella I sent another wave of calm over the room. Rosalie looked over towards me and glared slightly but didn't say anything. Emmett noticing that my I'm-sending-you-a-wave-of-calm look was directed towards Rosalie, he winked at me and started playing with her hair.

Useless against our tag team Rosalie quickly looked up towards Bella and gave her a small smile. She again sent me a sharp look but quickly looked up towards Emmett who began butterfly kissing her cheeks. .

Bella nodded her head enthusiastically, reassurance flowing freely from her towards me. Rosalie broke away from Emmett and smiled at Bella pleased by her reaction. She couldn't look for long though because Emmett continued to distract her by kissing and playfully grazing his teeth on her neck, begging for her attention. It kind of reminded me of a new puppy.

I grabbed Alice's hand grinning at how the meeting was going so far and gave her a quick yet loving one-armed hug. I couldn't give her a full hug because she still had Bella's hand tightly in hers.

Looking away I was overcome by a painful throb. It came again and again causing me to look frantically towards the room to try and find who was causing it. I gasped quietly when I realized that it was none other than our mother figure; Esme.

Her face was etched into a small gentle smile but I knew what was behind that smile. Back when we first found out that Bella and Edward had "died" she wept in her room for longer than Alice had. Even after she came out looking like she was better we could hear her broken sobs throughout the night. Carlisle refused to speak about it but we all knew without clarification that a piece of her heart went missing with Bella and Edward.

Ripped out of my lost thoughts I gasped as a greater pain gripped me. It was a feeling like I've never felt before. The intensity was horrifying. I felt lost and alone, unloved and rejected. A giant hole tore its way through my heart burning it's way through my body causing me to scream in my mind. I begged silently wishing this agonizing torture would go away, I knew that if vampires could cry I would have been sobbing like I never did during my human life.

I looked towards Bella who was bent over hyperventilating, the feelings I felt coursing through my body was coming from her. She looked up at me her black eyes pooling all the pain we both were feeling. Another sick wave of torture flew through our frames as we both gasped. I couldn't take this anymore.

Gasping again I flew off the couch gripping my heart screaming for Bella to please stop. I couldn't handle the hole that was ripping me apart. The loneliness was awful, I felt like no one was there for me, like Alice had died and was unreachable to me any longer.

I cried again as I realized what this feeling was from. It was from when Edward left her the first and second time. Bella had felt like this?

I reached out again sobbing, wanting no one other than my love; Alice. The feelings were so convincing. She was gone, but she couldn't be!

I suddenly felt her small arms wrapping around my head and shoulders pressing them against her body tightly. I couldn't do anything but hold her tightly and sob into her chest. She was speaking to me but I couldn't be sure that she was actually there. The dead feeling in my heart didn't go away, the hole was still there.

"Jasper speak to me please" She was choking the words trying to understand what was going on with me "Jasper please stay with me and hear my voice. What is going on? I'm right here and I'll never be anywhere else. Please tell me!"

I was hit by another crippling wave of pain accompanied by the worried feeling emitting from the rest of my family. I sobbed harder, my body now shaking both Alice and mine's frame.

A sudden thought made me sob once again. Alice would be feeling some of what I was feeling right now. The emotions were too strong, I knew that if anyone touched me right now they would be consumed in some of the pain I was in. I looked up searching for her eyes.

I finally found them. Worried as they were they were also a deep onyx black, proving just how much I was affecting her. Choking on my sobs I pulled her head towards my lips kissing her quickly, giving her a small hint about what I was going to do.

Knowing me about as well as I knew myself; she gripped my tighter making what I was going to do even harder on me.

"No."

I wanted to do nothing but stay in her arms but I could already see the black forming around the edges of my eyes. If I didn't act right away Alice would stand the chance of being put into the same emotion based coma I was going to be put in. I would not allow that, I couldn't!

Gripping both of her shoulders I firmly pushed her back, she flew into Emmett who caught her. I screamed at him to hold onto her tightly once I heard her fighting and screaming my name. I jumped up and started running towards the stairs but fell hard on the third step, the waves of pain drained me of all my energy. I could do nothing but cringe and whimper as the black consumed what was left of my vision.

I mustered up the rest of my energy and threw as much of my love into my words as I could before I lost all consciousness.

"I love you Alice"
