thanx for all the reviews! i've got a few ideas for new stories so im gonna work hard to get this one done so enjoy!

All I wanted to concentrate on while waiting for Miranda to call was Jasper. I put him through so much since this first all began with my vision of black darkness. It seems like everything he felt was permanently etched into his face that looked so tired and pain-filled yet so joyous and glowing. How could such a combination exist in harmony like that? I guess that's one of the things that made him special.

I took his hand in mine as we walked for what seemed like days but in reality, only hours. We both have said nothing since we left the house. Just being with each other was all that we needed as we absorbed every possible moment. Once in a while, I laid my head upon his shoulders and we'd stop for a few moments while we stood there. But then I'd raise my head and continue walking through the thousands of trees. I wanted nothing more than for all this to be over so every day could be like this, just the two of us together forever.

We got to a small clearing. The humans were probably cutting down trees. I could have sworn the forest was bigger than this last time I went walking. I sat down on the fairly dry grass and Jasper joined me, still hand-in-hand, and I laid my head against his chest. This isn't supposed to be this way. Love shouldn't go through so many bumps and heartache. It should be like a fairytale, like everyone dreams. But it's not. I inhaled and unexpectedly let out a broken sob.

A little alarmed at my sudden outburst shattering the silence, Jasper gently stroked my hair. I couldn't stop as I let out more severed tearless sobs.

"Alice, please don't cry." I could hear the pain in his words, which made me cry even more.

His arms wove around my waist and he pulled me close. He placed his head on the top of mine.

"Alice, what's wrong?" he asked.

I took a moment to catch my breath and to stop my crying.

"Everything, Jasper. Nothing is right. Everything is wrong. It shouldn't be like this, but it is and I feel so helpless because all I did was instigate it." I replied in a voice that sounded like it was drowned in tears.

I hid my face into his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck. His arms tightened around me.

"Alice, none of this is your fault. It hurts me so much to see you blame yourself for all that has happened. I know love isn't supposed to be like this. But it's with all the obstacles that makes everything stronger in the end. We just have to get there." his loving tone comforted me.

I smiled slightly. Jasper knew that I was talking about love too when I said everything even though I never directly came out and said love shouldn't be this way. That was one of the millions of things that I loved about him.

"But what if we don't have an ending?" I asked.

He paused, thinking.

"We will have one." he replied after a few moments.

I hope so. I thought to myself.

We stayed in that position for who knows how long. Both of us were inhaling each other's scent and basking in the togetherness. Jasper's phone vibrated in my pocked and I reluctantly unhooked my arms from his neck to retrieve it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Alice. It's Miranda. I'm nearing Washington and the plane will land in a little less than 2 hours." Miranda replied.

"I'll be there to pick you and James up. How's the flight so far?" I asked.

"A little weird considering it's my first time in a plane. But James has been on planes a lot for his little hunting trips so he thinks I'm a wuss for thinking its weird." She softly giggled.

"Tell him I'll have to kick his butt when he gets here. I may be small, but I'm tough." I giggled myself. "Well I have to go so I'll see you soon. And thank you so much Miranda for doing this."

"It's no problem, Alice. I'm just repaying you for helping me with a few things before. Goodbye."

"Bye."

The other line clicked and I closed the phone and handed it back to Jasper.

"She'll be in Seattle in about 2 hours so we should leave in about an hour to pick her and James up."

He smiled sadly. I knew he didn't want me to go through with this, but what choice did I have? We both got up from the grass and I wiped the stray grasses off my jeans and shirt. Jasper held my hand and bent down to touch his lips to mine. Knowing we were on a tight schedule, we both reluctantly pulled away and headed off back to the Cullens house.
