Ava P.O.V

My feet felt as if they were ready to bleed. We have been walking to every fashion boutique in town and we have not found the perfect dress. According to Rosalie, nothing seems right. She already has the dress in her mind; a navy blue elegant two-tone satin dress with small rhinestones right around where the dress splits around my knee to reveal the white underskirt. The dress will zip up halfway to my lower back and then lace up to my shoulders; it is a strapless dress so to cover my shoulder on the cold night, so there has to be a matching shawl. Both the dress and shawl are floor length. After hours and hours of shopping, we found nothing close to it. Alice would smile and say we will find it.

"I know it, the dress is meant for Ava to wear on that special night," Alice said smiling dreamily. Rosalie smiled and pulled us into another shop. We look around not finding the dress. We just wandered around the shop a bit longer buying unnecessary items that we found cute. I found a black corset top that had red roses stitched in and red lace on the bottom and thought of Chanel. I sighed. Just as we were about to go out to the airport Chanel told me through her thoughts she changed her mind and did not want to go. Ever since she found out Edward and I can read her thoughts she has been using it to her advantage. That was the only way she communicated with us. She thinks it, and we say it for her. None of know what her voice sounds like. I decide to buy it for her; maybe she will like the gift, a small gesture towards me wanting to be her friend. Alice and Rosalie were waiting for me outside the shop holding hundreds of small and big bags. I look at my own hands and see that I am also holding just as many. I see our rental car, the backseat overflowing with bags and the trunk barely had any room left as we put in the bags we were holding. I sighed knowing Carlisle is going to give us a lecture about going overboard and then Jasper is going to ask how we are going fit all of the new clothes in our newly refurbished closet; already full of clothes. Emmett is going to crack jokes at us and Edward will frown while Esme will try to figure out where we are going put all the new dresses, shirts, pants skirts, etcetera. I have no clue what Chanel will think…probably think we are a bunch of fashion crazed bitches. I sighed and shook my head. Alice offered to take all the things back to our luxurious hotel room. I watched as she drove us in the red rental car. Rosalie tugged on my arm and soon we were back to hunting for the perfect dress.

Once again, we are in another store looking for the dress. I was looking at some jewelry waiting for Rosalie to tell me that this store is another failure when my cell started ringing. Without needing to look to see who it was, I answered.

"Hey Jazzy."

"Hey love. How is the shopping?"

"Horrible," he gasped.

"Oh no! That is not good, when did shopping become horrible for you?" he was mocking me.

"Ha ha Jazz, not funny. It's just that Rosalie pictured the perfect dress for me and Alice had a vision that we are definitely going to find if I set my heart to it but I don't know. It has been 6 hours and no dress." I sighed. "Plus…I miss you…"

"I miss you too but if I were there Rosalie would kill me because I am not allowed to see your dress before the Prom."

"She makes it sound like we are getting married," I laughed.

He chuckled. "Well I hope you find the perfect dress soon, I want you back in my arms A.S.A.P, well I'd rather have you now but we both know that won't happen. I love you Ava."

"I love you too Jasper," I sigh softly. "I will try to find the dress soon. I want be with you again. Okay well, bye Jazz. See you soon hopefully."

"Okay bye love."

Before he hung up I quickly added, "By the way, we bought A LOT of new stuff though and so we are going to need another room to put it in. Love you!" I hung up. I let out a sigh of relief. Okay now that is out of the way. My phone rang again. I groaned and put it on silent. Rosalie came over to me, disappointment written all over her face. "Didn't find it?" She shook her head. I shrugged and we went onto the next dress shop. I was looking at a red silky dress that was floor length; little imprints of black roses in velvet put in a neat pattern. I sigh knowing this was not the dress and not something I can see myself ever wearing. It just didn't scream AVA! Looking up I see it. It was just on the little rack all by itself. Perfectly set, facing me. I walked over to it and immediately called out for Rosalie and Alice.

"Told you we would find it!" Alice skipped over to me and hugged me. Rosalie threw me into a dressing me, literally, and then placed the dress I with me. She closed the door as she left.

"Try it on," she said from the other side. I slipped off my jeans and my band shirt, and then kicked off my converse shoes. I pulled the navy blue dress over my head, zipped it and laced it. I pulled on the shawl too. It was even the perfect size, not too long, not too tight. Just perfect. Walking out Rosalie and Alice squealed with joy. We had found. After hours of painful shopping, we finally found it. I went back into the dressing room and changed out of it, carefully carried it to the cash register and paid for it. We drove back to the hotel and spent the night giggling like high school girls.

Jasper P.O.V

I walked down the stairs and into the living room; Emmett and Edward were wrestling on the floor. All the furniture pushed back. Emmett looked up, Edward's head in his arm.

"Get a hold of Ava?" he asked smiling. I shook my head. "She must be avoiding you for a good reason."

"She'll just get the lecture when she gets back," I leaned up against the wall.

"Yes well I am sure all three will be getting lectures from Carlisle," Edward grunted trying to get out of monkey man's headlock. I laughed. Finally, after five more tries Edward managed to get out. He tackled Emmet to the floor then there was the crash. The bookshelf smashed to bits, Edward and Emmett under a pile of book. I heard Esme scream and Carlisle groan. I did not need Alice's ability to know that both Edward and Emmett are dead meat. I walk away back to my room passing by a fuming Esme on the way up. I walk in and lay in the big empty bed. I really hope Ava comes back soon; I want her back in my arms. My cell rings. Quickly I snatch it up.

"Hello? Ava?"

"Hey Jasper…" she trailed off. I let out a sigh of relief. I had not realized just how I much I would miss her until she was gone. It was rather unsettling. I was never bothered when Alice went on these trips, but without seeing Ava for a whole day made me miserable. "Um about the-

"I don't care," I say quickly. "I just…Are you coming home?"

"Yes! We found the dress! We should be home by morning tomorrow," she said happily. I could not help but smile. "Now how are you? You safe in the hotel room? Should I call up-

"Jasper I am fine," she giggled. "Now what about you, Emmett break anything today?"

"Yep."

"Well? Tell me."

"Bookcase in the living room. Esme is furious," she laughed. I heard her tell Rosalie and Alice. Alice was set in giggles but I could hear Rosalie mutter 'Idiots' under her breath. The rest of the night Ava and I talked on the phone. Soon it was time for her to leave for her plane.

"Okay bye love," I say sadly. "See you in a bit."

"Bye Jasper," she said happily. "I love you."

"Love you too," she hung up. I put my cell back on the dresser before getting up. I walk out and bump into that little dark girl, Chanel. "Oh sorry Chanel did not see you there." She nodded her head before disappearing into her room. I stared at her closed door. Odd girl never says a word. Maybe I should go talk to her.

"Jasper!" Edward calls out from the bottom of the steps. "Come on, we need help putting the room back together before the girls arrive." I bit my lip and went down the stairs.

Chanel P.O.V

I leaned against the door taking in small breathes of air. I just bumped into Ares. How could I? My knees gave out and I feel to the floor, still leaning against the door. Why do these beautiful people surround me? It is torture. Oh, mother, only if you were here to protect me from these Roman Gods. I look in the full-length mirror across from me. Why can I not be just as beautiful? Is it because I have cheated death so many times that I am to be punished in such a way? My stringy brown hair stuck to my scalp and face, my small, now golden, eyes, and big hook nose overlooking my thin pale pink lips. My hard stone hateful face did not help me in looking any better. All the black outfits I wore just made me look even darker. Everyone believed me to be some gothic freak wherever I went, everyone but the people in this house. They looked at me as if I were a part of the family, as if I was also beautiful like them. I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to see what they see but all I see is the same pathetic ugly sad girl. I do not know how long I sat there staring at my pitiful state before there were knocks on my door. At first, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me but then I heard her voice, Gaia. I scrambled to my feet and opened the door.

"Hey Chanel," she smiled as she stood in my doorway.

Hi Ava. I think to her. Her smile falters slightly but returns to its brilliant state.

"How are you?" her kind golden eyes looked into my shallow squinty ones.

Fine.

"That is good. Um I bought you a little something. I hope you like it," she held out a red box with a black bow on top. I looked at it for a moment before taking it in my hands. Gaia has given me a gift. The Goddess has given me a gift. I open with shaky hands and see a gorgeous black corset top.

I love it, thank you Ava. I look up at her wanting to smile but just nod my head. I did not think her smile could get any brighter but it did. My squinty eyes quickly searched my room to see if I can give something back to the Goddess for buying such but nothing seemed to suit her. I decided that tomorrow, when she is gone at school, that I will buy a great gift for her, maybe something for the others too. I needed them to know that I appreciate them; I had to buy something for all of them.

"Okay well see you later Ava. I am happy that you love your present," she waved and left. I closed my door and went to my bed; I stared at the present a bit longer, admiring its beauty before putting it away in my small closet. Then I went back to sitting in my bed and staring at my empty white walls.
