9.

Alice is about to cry.

For the third time today.

"Alice, it's going to be fine", I tell her as she wipes at her tear filled eyes.

She looks over and gives me a grimace. "I don't want to go anymore", she says.

I sigh. Wonder when Jazz and Masen will get back from the café.

We're at Seattle Airport to see off Alice and Jasper. Their flight to New York is in one hour but Alice isn't heading to the check in counter… she's being slightly dramatic.

Or maybe she's just genuinely concerned about me and Masen. She's decided that she doesn't want to leave us all alone in Forks.

She wants to stay here.

My nephew and Jasper return and one look at Alice and Masen pulls away from Jasper's grip and rushes to Alice's side. He clings onto her leg and starts wailing. "Allie! Pwease don't go. Pwease."

I suppress a groan. People are watching us now!

Alice wipes away a tear and kneels to Masen's height.

Oh God. Alice, please act as a rational adult for once. Don't encourage him.

Masen clings on even tighter as Jasper says that it's time for them to go but my nephew doesn't back down. He's a combination of Rosalie Cullen and Emmett McCarty's genes, after all. And those two kids never took 'no' for an answer. He uses a tactic that melts my already emotional friend's heart and looks at her with sad green eyes.

His lower lip trembles. "I love you Alice. Let Jazzy go but don't leave me with Edwad."

I don't find this funny. Doesn't he like me? What does he mean by that?

"Masen, I love you too, baby. More than you can even imagine. But don't forget that Uncle Edward and Jazz love you as well. I have to leave for a while but I'll be back really soon", says Alice.

"Promise?" asks Masen.

"Pinky swear", replies Alice as she extends her pinky.

What do you think so far? Masen's a sweetheart, dontcha think?
