Diclaimer: I still don't own Twilight!
Second Chances. Alice's POV.
"Sometimes all you need is a second chance, because time wasn't ready for the first one."
I Mulled over Rosalie's speech and Jasper's reasoning in my head for hours, as I hunted. I walked up to our room and Jasper took me in his arms and he kissed my head.
I wanted to forgive her but Edward was against the idea.
"Alice, she doesn't deserve your forgiveness" Edward stormed, pacing the length of Jazz and I's room.
"Edward, you said so yourself that everyone deserves forgiveness… That includes Rosalie" I sighed. He turned and looked at me then at Jasper; he was looking for some backup.
"Jasper… don't you think she is being ridiculous?!" He demanded of him. I felt Jasper's arms move when he shrugged.
"If Alice wants to forgive her then I'm okay with it. If she doesn't, I'm okay with it" he said, causing Edward to roll his eyes. I chuckled.
"Edward, Esme and Carlisle are talking to her and if I forgive her then everything will go back to normal… don't you want that?" I asked him, pleading.
"Well, Yes. But-"He began but I cut him off.
"So it's settled" I smiled, Edward supressed a groan and he walked out. I sighed and turned to Jasper. He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" I asked him, desperately needing his reassurance.
"Yeah, I do. I'm proud of you, you know" he said, smiling down at me, God I love that smile. I smiled back and snuggled further into his arms. I decided to get it over with and talk to Rosalie. I moved out of Jasper's arms and kissed his cheek. He smiled and nodded, filling me with confidence and reassurance. I walked to Emmett and Rosalie's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Emmett boomed. I walked in and smiled.
"Hey, Little sister… what's up?" he smiled.
"Hey Emmett. I was wondering if I could talk to Rosalie for a second." I said, he smiled and nodded.
"Sure, Edward and I are going Hunting… see you!" he said, sprinting out of the room. I nodded and looked at Rosalie.
"Can we talk?" I asked, she nodded and gestured for me to sit down, so I did.
"Rosalie…. I thought about what you said… and I want to forgive you. After all, you are my sister and I've always thought of you that way, no matter how you have treated me." I explained.
"Oh Alice-"she began but I held up my hand to stop her.
"But I want you to understand this, Rosalie. Second chances don't come around that often, and when they do, you have to make the most of it and own up to your mistakes. I honestly want you to treat me better, because I don't deserve the way you've been treating me, and I don't know what I've done to deserve it… so if you are going to treat me as a sister, then you can have a second chance, but Rosalie, I mean it. If you blow this one… you aren't getting another one." I explained.
"I completely understand, Alice. I promise you that I will treat you as my sister from now on" she pleaded. I nodded and smiled.
"Okay, I believe you" I nodded. I stood up and hugged her before walking to find Jasper, feeling happy that my family was no longer broken in half and happy that we were whole and united again.
After All:
"Sometimes second chances work out even better than the first. Simply because you've learned from your mistakes."
