AUTHORS NOTE:
I'm trying to make up for all the chapters that I didn't update over break. Some are going to be on the short side, others on the long side like this one. And there is going to be A LOT more swearing in the chapters now, so be warned.
Also, I have forgotten to tell all of you that Bella can read minds, yes I know it isn't in any of the chapters, she still has the shield as she did in the books, but she can also read minds. Kay thanks.

Jasper Point of View
I can't believe that Bella has been alive for all these years. Why hasn't she tried to find us? There must be something wrong, something must have happened. I was dragged out of my thoughts by Alice who had jumped off of the bed and was running downstairs, I needed to talk to her. I stood up and took off after her. She was running into the woods about five hundred feet in front of me.
"Alice!" I yelled, "Wait up!"
She turned around, looked at me, and waved her hand singnaling for me to hurry up. I sprinted over to her and grabbed her hand before she started to run again.
"Alice, remember, we cannot tell Edward. You can't even think about the human Bella when you are talking about vampire Bella. He doesn't know. You cannot let him make that connection," Alice looked dazed, and suddenly I realized she was having a vision.
"Alice, what do you see? Tell me," I urged.
"It's nothing Jasper, just another stupid ass Emmett prank," she said all too quickly. I didn't want to pry, so I let it go, even though I knew there was something more to the vision that she just had.
"Oh, and by the way, where do you think you are going at three in the morning?" I asked her softly, even though I already knew the answer.
"Wellll," she drawled, "I was gonna go see Bella…"
I smirked, "Can I come to?"
Alice smiled and we dashed off in the woods, searching for her scent. As soon as we crossed it, Alice started sprinting. Within two minutes I could smell 4 different vampires.
They must have heard us coming, because when we were able to see the house through the trees, I saw woman sitting in the window attic looking down at Alice and I suspiciously. We walked to the front door and rang the doorbell.
As the door creaked open, I could see to males behind it, and they were sending of vibes of annoyance and some panic.
"Hello, this is Jasper and I'm Alice Cullen," my wife said sweetly, "We were wondering if this is the household of Isabella Marie Swan."
"Whose asking?" the male with the blonde buzz cut responded icily.
His tone didn't even phase Alice, "If she is home at the moment, could you tell her that a Pixie is here."
The one with shaggy brown hair looked at my Alice if there was something wrong with her as he shut the door, "Yeah hold on a second."

Isabella's Point of View [This takes place earlier in the morning, before Emmett tells Alice and Jasper]
"Hey, Isabella, do you want to come hunting with John, Chris, and I?" I heard Raven ask.
I looked up, "No, that's okay. You guys go ahead, I should be good for awhile."
"Okay, we're only going to be about an hour away, so if you need anything call. We should be back around midnight." And with that they left.
I got up off of my bed and walked over to the wall-to-wall ceiling-to-ceiling bookshelf and grabbed the photo album of Alice and I that she sent to me after about a month after they left; with no return address.
I walked back over to my bed and plopped down. My fingers ran over the smooth leather cover. I took a deep breath and slowly opened the book. The first page was a letter from Alice.
deAr beLla,
thIs was supposed to be your gift from me on your eighteenth birthday, but due to the CircumstancEs I was unabLe to give it tO you. these are all the pictures that we haVe takEn, and I wrote down Some of the things we did together. i miss You a lOt, and I wish I woUld be able to see You, but 'he' is forbidding me to. everyone misses you, And we won't forget about you. i Hope you won't forget us either. Have fun through life, and if yOu ever feel like someone is watching you and you turn around and no one is there, it might be one of the Cullen's checking up On you. so we will always be with you, no Matter what.
love alice
The thing that bugged me about this letter was that I didn't know why Alice had capitalized random letters in words. She was always a person with precise grammar. (AN: if you can tell me what the letters mean, I will e-mail you the next chapter early.)
As I flipped through the pages of the book, my mind wandered back to Edward. I knew I still had feelings for him, but did he have feelings for me? And why did he look so awkward when he was in that meadow yesterday? And why was he flirting? From the human life that I could remember, Edward never flirted, it was so out of character for him. But I haven't seen him in 75 years, so he probably has changed.
As I got to the last page of the book, I paused and looked at my favorite picture of Alice and I. She was so obsessed with me not having good balance skills, that she made me stand on her shoulders so that I would practice my balance. Of course Edward was freaking out that I would fall and crack my head open, but Alice convinced him that she would see if I was going to fall. The first time I fell, I landed on top of Emmett as he rounded the corner. I surprised him, and he freaked out for awhile until he figured out that it was me.
I started laughing and then I heard a knock on my door.
"Bella, can I come in?" Chris asked.
"Of course," I replied confused, this was his room too after all.
"Someone is at the door for you."
"Oh, who is it? I wasn't expecting anyone."
"She said to say that-" Chris was cut off by a sharp knock on my door.
I looked at Chris and saw that he was glaring at the door. I got up slowly and walked across my room, swinging the door open in one fluid movement.
Before I even knew what was happening, I was airborn and on my bed, with a grinning Alice on top of me.
"Bella, you have a lot of explaining to do," she said smugly.
"Yeah, I know," I smiled back at her. I heard movement from my doorway and noticed that Chris had left, and that Jasper was standing in my doorway with a small smile on his face.
After Alice and I hugged for a minute, I got up off of the bed and walked over to Jasper.
"Bella."
"Jasper," I replied.
"It is so nice not wanting to kill you," he laughed as he gathered me into a hug.
"And it's so nice not being afraid that you would kill me," I smirked as he set me down.
"Bella," I turned to see Raven standing in my doorway, "John, Chris, and I are going to give you guys some alone time together."
"Okay guys, but you don't have to," I studied her face and I was able to tell that something wasn't right.
"We know, but we think that we should, you know, give you some privacy."
"Okay, well I'll see you guys later." I heard her turn on her heal and walk down the stairs and out the front door, being followed by John and Chris.
"So, Bella, time to explain," Jasper said sadly.
"Okay, well, about two-" I was cut off by someone coming up the stairs, even though my family had left.
"Alice, who else did you bring?" I asked in a whisper.
"No one," she looked at me fearfully.
The footsteps were getting louder, and then stopped in front of my door. I heard deep breathing, and then the door was pushed open to reveal none other than Edward Cullen.
I was shocked that he was standing in front of me, my mind went blank. After five seconds, I was reading everyone's mind, because I wasn't blocking anyone out as I usually do.
"Oh dear god, what the hell Edward, why are you here?!" Alice shrieked in her mind.
"Happy thoughts, happy thoughts," Jasper kept repeating in his mind.
"Why didn't they tell me? I walk into the house and Emmett is on the phone with Rosalie upstairs. I started reading my mind, and I find out that she is alive," Edward thought while he was staring at me with hurt in his eyes, "She doesn't know that I know. She doesn't know that I still love her."
"Oh my god, I have to get away from here," I thought.
That's when I ran.
AUTHORS NOTE:
Ahhh, longest chapter ever, and no matter what you guys say, this is five pages long so be happy. It is 1,526 words. I would love a lot of reviews on this chapter because not everyone is reviewing and it just makes me think that you want me to stop writing.
Soo, Review!
