Why do i like writing sad stories so much? This is another Breaking Dawn alternative ending. And for those of you who are like me and enjoy extremely angsty stories you might likethis one a little better.
By the way, it starts out like "It Will Rain" because it's really the same scenario, but don't think you're reading that one all over again because it's completely different.
Like You'll Never See Me Again
If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn't feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I'd be wishing you were here
To be everything that I'd be looking for
I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
'Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed
They were in the middle of their fight with the Volturi. Alice and Jasper had gone out and found a witness to Renesmee but the Volturi didn't believe them at all. A fight had broken out after that.
Alice was suddenly hit with a quick vision. It was a flash of her with red eyes in a black hood with the Volturi. It made her freeze for a moment.
"Bring Alice to me," Aro said. Alice looked over and saw him near her. "I want her to be one of us."
She darted away from them, trying to focus on something else, anything else. But then there were two Volturi members in front of her. "Aro wants you," one of them said.
She back away. "I'm not going to be one of you."
They grabbed her. "Aro always gets what he wants," the other said with a grin.
She struggled as they tried to take her over to Aro. She would not go with them. She would do anything, but she did not want to be a part of the volturi.
Jasper looked around trying to find Alice. Whenever he took his eyes off her he always had to look to make sure she was okay. He looked behind him and saw two hooded vampire's dragging her over to Aro. He zoomed over there. He knew they wanted her. It was one of his fears that they would take her away from him. He wouldn't allow them to do it. He loved her; he would do whatever it took to keep her with him. He got in front of them. "Let go of Alice!"
The one on the right chuckled. "Aro always gets what he wants, and he wants her."
"Let's go," the other said.
Before they could drag her away Jasper tried to fight them. Alice shook her head desperately at him. "Jaz, no…" As much as she wanted him to take her away from there and run away with him, she didn't want him to put himself in danger trying to protect her.
He tried anyway. He knocked one of them away from Alice. The guy was mad. He lunged at him. They got into a fight. Jasper was in military mode. He knew how to fight, and a Volturi member was no different. He could sense Alice's fear and worry but the last thing he would ever do is allow anyone to take her from him.
Suddenly another volturi member was there. He pinned him down and another came over and grabbed his neck. Okay, he couldn't deny it, he was a little afraid now. The other guy went over to help the other guy restrain Alice.
"No one interferes with the Volturi. You'll pay now," one of the vampires holding him said.
As soon as she saw them grab Jasper she lost it. He was going to kill him. Her Jasper, her husband, her soul mate. She knew she could not survive without Jasper. She didn't know what she would do without him. She wasn't thinking, she was kicking and struggling against them trying to break free of them. "Jasper!" she screamed. "No! Don't kill him! Please don't kill him!" Cold panic ran down her body.
Jasper looked up at her. Her emotions were hitting him like tidal waves. She was in a state of panic, anxiety, and fear. He was too and it probably increased it between them. He never would have thought that this would be the moment they'd lose each other. He wanted an eternity with her, not sixty years. They were about to kill him. If it had to happen this way, he just had to say I love you one more time. "Alice…" The guy yanked at his neck and he grunted in pain. He was afraid now. He looked at Alice. She was still freaking out trying to break free of the Volturi members holding her.
Suddenly there was a loud crack and everything went blank to him. His head fell out of the Volturi guy's hands and fell to the ground.
Alice stared in disbelief for a second at her husband's head severed from his body. She waited for someone to wake her up from this nightmare and for him to get up and be okay, but he didn't. At that moment her whole world crumbled around her. Her body went limp in the people holding her's hands and she let out a heart wrenching scream.
Carlisle and Esme turned when they heard her. Esme nearly collapsed in grief when she saw Jasper. Carlisle had to catch her. Bella and Edward heard and were in shock when they saw it. He could hear her thoughts and he'd never thought he would ever hear Alice in so much pain.
The Volturi members around her chuckled and it hurt her even more. She was too upset to be angry at them. "Kill me," she said.
"What?"
"Kill me too!" Her life was nothing without Jasper in it. She refused to live without him. She wanted to die.
They looked at each other. They thought this girl was insane. "We don't have orders to do that."
"I don't care!" she shouted.
All of a sudden a fist collided with one of them's face knocking his head off. It was Emmett. He and Rosalie took on the remaining two.
Rosalie looked at Alice. She was completely broken. She was on the ground trembling and sobbing. Rosalie had never thought she'd see her this way. She imagined being in her place and Emmett in Jasper's and it was unbearable. "Alice, look at me," she said firmly. Alice looked up at her. "You can save him. Get him out of her now."
Alice nodded and dragged herself off the ground. Vampires could be reassembled if they weren't burned. Fires were already being set to dead vampires. She had to get him out of here fast. She picked him up and ran as fast as she could, fighting off anyone who tried to get in her way. Jasper could be saved and she was determined to save him. She couldn't live anymore if he didn't.
She ran for a very long time to be sure that she wasn't being followed. Finally she came to their special place north of Forks. She jumped up into the big tree in the center and lay him on her lap. If she could cry she would be right now. She couldn't stand to see him this way. With trembling hands she shoved his head back onto his neck but it wouldn't stay. It made her frustrated and more sobs wracked through her making it even more difficult. At one point she just opted for holding it there until it reassembled itself, if it ever did.
She stayed there all day and all night. A couple days later she wondered if he would ever be okay. If he wasn't, she wouldn't have any other reason for living and she'd bury him and find a way to kill herself. The more time wore on that seemed to be the more appealing option. She avoided her visions. She was afraid of what she'd see. She didn't want to see Jasper never getting better and all of the Cullen's dead, and her doing something insane to destroy herself.
Occasionally a vision did come to her and she tried her hardest to make it go away. She saw Bella and Edward in a car trying to find Renesmee and Jacob who had run off before the fight began. The worst was that she saw herself in Italy in a black robe with red eyes. It was after that one that she cursed her "gift" to hell and concentrated on blocking out any visions.
She'd been there for a week. She didn't move, and she didn't hunt. Everytime she heard even the slightest rustling in the trees she got defensive and afraid thinking the Volturi were there to kill her. Once she let go of him and his head didn't fall off. She realized he was getting better and it gave her hope that he would be okay. She would kiss her precious husband and hold him as if he'd slip out of her arms if she let go. He started breathing again and she knew he'd be okay. Nearly 2 weeks she'd been up here and she was starting to have a little bit of hope.
Finally his eyes started to flutter open. She nearly jumped out of her skin when his black eyes looked into hers. "Jasper!" she exclaimed happily.
"Hey beautiful," he said softly.
She felt like crying. He was alive and he was okay! She leaned down to kiss him. "Jaz, you're okay!"
He held her hand. "What happened?"
"We were in a fight with the Volturi. They didn't believe us about Renesmee. And Aro tried to take me away and you tried to save me. But they…they ripped your head off. I wanted them to kill me too but they wouldn't. Then Rosalie and Emmett came and Rosalie told me to take you away and save you."
It all came back to him. He remembered how much she freaked out when they were about to kill him and how he'd tried to tell her he loved her one last time. "You really are a good wife darlin'. How long have we been out here?"
"Nearly 2 weeks," she replied. "I wanted to take you to our house but I didn't want to go very far and have it be too late."
He touched her face. "Your eyes are black. Have you hunted?"
She shook her head. "My throat is killing me. But I didn't want to leave you alone. And I was afraid to go by myself."
"Why?"
"Because Aro could be looking for me. And I didn't want him to take me away from you."
"I'll never let him Alice. And if he tries, I'll go with you." He tried to sit up but his neck was very sore.
Alice lay him back down. "Don't try to move too much yet, love. Just rest for a while and we'll go back to our house tomorrow morning."
The next day they jumped down from the tree to leave. As soon as he landed he felt dizzy. "Whoa."
She looked at him concerned. "What's wrong?"
"My head is spinning. Feels like you did a pretty good job putting it back on though."
"Get on my back Jaz."
He raised his eyebrows at her. "Really Alice?"
"Come on."
He got on her back. "You know this is really weird since you're so much shorter than me."
She laughed and took off running. "You carry me all the time Jasper. I'm only returning the favor."
"But your feet aren't almost touching the ground when I carry you."
They arrived at their cozy house in Canada and she put him down. The next day they'd gone to hunt. Both of their throats were burning from over 2 weeks without blood. Then that evening they sat on the couch in front of the fire in each other's arms. They'd hardly let go of each other since they got there.
"What happened to everyone else Alice?" Jasper asked.
Once Jasper was okay Alice had allowed her visions to come back. She was still afraid of the one with her in the Volturi, but she wanted to know what happened to everyone else. "Rosalie is okay. Emmett was hurt."
"What happened to him?" Japser asked worriedly.
"He's okay now, or at least, he will be. But he got his hand torn off. It took forever for them to find it because so many of the people they brought and the Volturi were killed. Carlisle and Esme are okay physically. But they're pretty much torn apart right now. They think you're dead and I'm not much farther behind you. And Bella and Edward have been out ever since looking for Renesmee and Jacob…"
Jasper's expression hardened at the mention of Bella and Edward. "You know, none of this would have happened if it weren't for them."
Alice was surprised by him saying that and how angry he sounded. "Huh?"
"Think about it Alice. All of this is Bella's fault. We wouldn't be in this situation right now if it weren't for her." He stood up and paced in front of her. "We wouldn't have had to track down James. If she hadn't jumped off that damn cliff you wouldn't have gone to Volterra and Aro wouldn't want you right now. And I wouldn't have almost lost you. Victoria's army and risking our lives for her. She gets fucking pregnant and look where we are. I almost lost you forever Alice."
Alice wouldn't meet his eyes. He was right, but she didn't want to admit it. "Jasper, you can't hate Bella for all of this…"
"We all hate her! You do too!"
She glared at him. "No I don't."
"Yes you do! I could feel it. Deep down you hate her for doing this and you wish she'd never come into our life!"
Alice looked into the fire. Bella was her sister. She didn't want to admit to hating her. But it was true. She had been thinking while she was sitting in the tree waiting for Jasper to heal. If it weren't for Bella, her husband wouldn't have been laying on his death bed and she wouldn't have been plotting ways to kill herself.
"I knew it. I should have killed her when I had the chance," Jasper said.
"Jasper, no matter what she did, you can't take all of this hatred with you when we go back home."
He looked at her. "Who says we should go back?"
"You don't want to go back?" she said stunned.
"We've risked our lives so much for those two Alice. What if something else happens? What if the Volturi come back? It's not worth it."
How could he say their family wasn't worth it? "They're our family Jaz! We can't just abandon them. Think of Esme and Carlisle? How would they feel?"
He sat down next to her and held her hands. "I know Alice. I know it'll hurt them. But I'm thinking of you. I…I don't want anything to happen to you Alice. I can't lose you again."
She could hear the pain in his voice. Everything that had happened the past few months had really taken a toll on him. He was afraid. But she didn't want to abandon the family they'd grown to be so close to. "I can't leave them Jaz."
"Alice…"
"I don't want to choose between you. I love you. I want you to come back with me."
"I don't know."
She let her hands slip from his and she looked into the fire. She didn't want to choose between her husband and her family. She didn't want to leave any of them. If she went back, he wouldn't go with her and that hurt her worst of all.
He put his arms around her. He knew he had hurt her feelings. "I love you Alice."
She leaned into him and put her arms around him as well. She knew if it came down to it, she would choose him over anything. "We don't have to go."
"Are you sure?"
She nodded. "Whatever you want, I'm with you."
The next day Jasper did a lot of thinking. Maybe it wasn't right of them to leave the Cullen's for good. Despite everything that had happened, Carlisle and Esme had done so much for them. And he knew it would deeply hurt Alice to leave them. The one thing he wanted was for her to be happy. He couldn't be completely happy if she wasn't.
He found her standing on the back balcony of the house that afternoon. He came over and held her hand. "Hey."
"Hey," she said.
"So when should we go back?"
She looked at him surprised. "I thought you didn't want to."
"You were right Alice. They're our family. It's not right to abandon them like that."
Her face lit up and she kissed him deeply.
So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you'll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you'll love me
Love me like you'll never see me again
"Like You'll Never See Me Again" by Alicia Keys.
Very sad song. i don't think i could listen to this for weeks before i stopped crying when i heard it.
I'm sure a lot of you weren't expecting all of that. But i wouldn't make Jasper die. Then i'd have to make Alice die and i love them both too much for that. And the bit of Bella bashing there isn't meant to be taken personally. i love Bella...i just don't think she makes the best decisions in life. There's a reason i ship Alice and Jasper instead of Bella and Edward.
Tell me what you think of this and if you think it would be a good "ending" on Alice and Jasper's side.
