(Bella's POV)

Alice held me until I had cried myself into a fitful slumber.

I tossed and turned for hours, trying to get comfortable in Alice's unfamiliar bed.

When I woke up a few hours later, I had kicked the covers off of the bed.

"Alice?" I called softly.

"Yes, Bella?" She asked appearing instantly.

"Could you…" How could I even ask her to do this? "Could you maybe lie down with me? I'm too hot." I was so used to Jasper's cold body next to mine that it was next to impossible getting to sleep.

She laughed a little and said, "Of course, Bella."

She climbed onto the bed next to me and lay down next to me on top of the covers. "Better?" She asked.

I nodded.

"Go to sleep, hun." She whispered and kissed my forehead.

I cuddled up next to her and closed my eyes. I noticed that she smelled really good too, but her smell was different than Jasper's. More floral… Maybe it's a vampire thing.

Within minutes I was back to that fitful sleep.

(Jasper's POV)

I stopped the car at my destination and held my breath (not sure why, they probably already knew I was here) as I stepped out of the car.

The powdery snow crunched under my feet as I walked up to the house.

The door swung open before I even had a chance to knock. "Jasper?" A female voice asked.

"Hello, Carmen."

(Alice's POV)

It was heart-wrenching, seeing Bella in this state. I didn't have to be an empath to see that she was in immense pain. But I knew Jasper wouldn't have left unless he knew someone was there to take care of her, which was now mine and Edward's job.

She tossed and turned in her sleep and kept mumbling Jazz's name.

I couldn't do anything to help her. I didn't have the power to alter her mood and no one else has that calming aura that Jazz has.

Just then, Edward entered the room. "How's she doing?" He asked so only I could hear.

"Not great," I thought.

All of a sudden, I had a vision.

It was the living room in the Denali Clan's mansion in Alaska. The familiar rustic vibe was there as everyone convened in the living room. Then Carmen moved so I could see who she had her arm around. It was Jasper, and he was in worse shape then Bella.

Then it was gone in a flash, replaced by images of Tokyo and Paris and Hawaii. But there was no denying that he was now in Denali, Alaska.

Edward obviously saw the vision in my head but just shook his head when I begged we go find him. "It's too soon," he muttered. "He needs time to calm down. We'll go tomorrow night."

I sighed. "Fine."

He leaned down to kiss my forehead. "I know you're worried about her. But we have to think about him too."

"Okay."

Bella chose that moment to cry out, "Don't leave me!" I noticed she was crying in her sleep.

"Bella, wake up," I said, shaking her gently.

"Huh?" She woke up with a start. Her whole face was wet, so was her hair. How long had she been crying? Why hadn't I noticed?

She noticed too and wiped her tears away with a swipe of her hand. "H-how long was I out?"

"Not long," I said.

"Do you know where he is now?" She asked hopefully.

I glanced at Edward and he nodded slightly, a silent urge for me to tell the truth. I turned back to Bella. "Well, I'm not too sure, but I think he's in Alaska."

Bella's whole face lit up, probably at the prospect of seeing her one true love again. She really missed him, and it had only been roughly a day.

I hated to crush her again. "We can't see him just yet."

Her face fell and I could tell she was thinking he didn't want her.

I quickly explained, "It's not that he doesn't wanna see you, 'cause believe me, he does! But he just needs some time to figure things out. Edward says we can leave tomorrow night."

Once I said his name, she seemed to realize he was standing there in the corner of the room. "Oh, hello, Edward."

"Hi, Bella," he said politely. "I'm sorry that you can't see Jasper sooner, but knowing him, he just needs some time to get back to normal. But he recovers fast. He just needs to talk to our friends in the Denali Coven for a little while."

"Denali Coven?" Bella asked.

"They're another coven of vegetarian vampires," I explained.

"Oh. So, we can go find him tomorrow night?" She asked.

I nodded. "It's a little over five in the morning, so I guess tonight is more accurate. Wanna go back to sleep?"

She shook her head.

"Well, do you wanna watch a movie instead?" I asked.

This time she nodded.

I helped her out of bed and led her by the hand downstairs to the living room, Edward trailing not too far behind with a blanket for Bella.

Her eyes widened once I showed her to the entire room we have designated for various DVDs. "Take your pick," I said with a flourish.

She walked slowly around the perimeter of the room, which is filled, wall to wall, with DVDs.

"How about this one," she decided, pulling one out.

I checked the title- "Mamma Mia!". Perfect. Not sad at all, just entertaining.

"Okay then." I took the case from her and led her to the living room where out big screen TV is. "Take a seat," I said, while I went to set up the movie.

She sat down tentatively on the clean off-white leather sofa, as if it would bite.

I laughed. "Not what you're used to, huh?"

"Not really."

Edward asked, "Want something to eat, Bella?"

"Um… sure. Can I have a big bowl of buttered popcorn?"

He smiled. "Of course. Be back in a few minutes. Start the movie without me."

He wandered off into the kitchen while I joined Bella on the couch and pressed play. "Want a blanket?" I offered, holding out the fleecy Nightmare Before Christmas one that Edward had brought with him.

She just nodded.

I wrapped the blanket around her securely and scooted closer to her as the movie started. "I should warn you, I love musicals, so I might be singing."

She laughed. "That's okay."

Edward came back with the popcorn just as "Honey, Honey" started and plopped down on Bella's other side.

I was already singing, not for my own enjoyment, but for Bella's. She needed a distraction.

By the time "Super Trooper" rolled around, Bella was already having trouble staying awake, which I took as a good sign.

"Go to sleep, Bella," I said gently.

"Can't," she slurred sleepily. She struggled to life her arm in the cast. "Arm hurts too much."

"Lemme get you some pain medication." I was gone and back in a second with two pills and a glass of water.

Bella was so sleepy that I had to hold her head up and help her take a sip of water to take the pills.

"Hey, Edward, why don't you play some piano for Bella? That might help her relax."

"Yeah," Bella chimed in. "Me likes that."

I couldn't help but laugh at her choice of words as I picked her up gently and carried her into the room with Edward's grand piano (really, it's just his own personal library).

He took a seat behind the instrument while I settled into a big armchair with Bella cradled in my lap. "Not classical," I thought. "Something she'll enjoy."

My husband stared at me blankly for a good minute. All Edward ever plays is classical music, so he was at a loss of what to play, even though he can play anything.

"Staylight Run?" I prompted. He'd figure something out.

Another minute of him thinking and then his face lit up as he started playing.

The notes and chords were slow and sad, and I knew exactly what he was playing.

I started singing along quietly while I stroked Bella's hair.

When the sun came up,

We were sleeping in,

Sunk inside our blankets,

Sprawled across the bed,

And we were dreaming,

Edward joined in with his tenor voice every now and again.

There are moments when,

When I know it and

The world revolves around us,

And we're keeping it,

Keep it all going,

This delicate balance,

Vulnerable all knowing,

Sing like you think no one's listening,

You would kill for this,

Just a little bit,

Just a little bit,

You would

I repeated the chorus and then Edward intensified the piano as we both sang:

Sing me something soft,

Sad and delicate,

Or loud and out of key,

Sing me anything,

We're glad for what we've got,

Done with what we've lost

Our whole lives laid out right in front of us

The music was as it's most powerful as we repeated the chorus and then finally, Edward returned to how he played at the beginning as we sang:

Sing me something soft,

Sad and delicate,

Or loud and out of key,

Sing me anything

"Mmm, that was nice," Bella mumbled sleepily.

"K, well, it's time for you to get to bed, missy," I said as I picked her up gently and carried her upstairs- this time to Jasper's room. I figured it might make her more comfortable.

"How much longer 'til I gets to see, Jazzy?" She asked, probably only half-listening to my answer by this point.

I tucked her in and said, "Only about twelve more hours, hun. Go to sleep."

"Mmkay." She rolled onto her side and was fast asleep within minutes.

A/N: So, what'd you think??? Oh, and btw, this is in no way, shape, or form EVER gonna be a Bella/Edward for all of you who might be hoping for that. I hate when authors do that! But, I decided he's gonna be way more lovable in this fic as opposed to how he usually is in my fics. =] Um, the song was "Existentialism On Prom Night" by an amazing indie band called Straylight Run! The piano is intense and really captivating on that song… and the video's pretty awesome. Anyhoo, you guy's should check 'em out.
