Author's Note: I'll be honest. There's not much to say, other than I hope you enjoy the chapter! Also ideas are welcome, I try to incorporate as many as possible! :))

"Babe you seem jumpy." Cooper commented as I reorganized our closet.

"I'm fine." I fibbed.

Truth was I was seriously worried! What would happen if I accidentally thought about Lexi and Jasper in front of Edward? What would happen if I thought about it and I didn't know Edward was in the room!

"Alice you can't lie to me." Cooper rose an eyebrow.

"I'm not Coopy."

"Alice yes you are. Come Alice, you know something that I don't! What happened to telling each other everything?" He demanded.

"Cooper," I sighed. "it's hard enough keeping a secret from Edward alone. I don't want to have to worry about you too! After Jasper comes back from hunting I'll tell you, okay?"

"Fine but right after." Cooper eyed me suspiciously.

I returned back to my organizing.

LPV

Jasper had to leave today. It was hard. Just like losing him the first time all over again.

"Jasper take this." I held out my hand.

"Take what?" He looked at my hand blankly.

"Take my hand." I commanded. He complied.

I gave him my shield, so he could give it to Alice and his family so that Edward can't know about Jasper seeing me. I saw that Alice needed it.

"What'd you do?" He asked.

"I gave you my shield! All you have to do to give it to anyone who knows our secret is picture the power and picture you cutting part of it off and giving it to the person you want to give it to. Here try it on me." I told him sticking out my hand.

He took it.

I focused. I pictured the power as bread, then I cut it and pictured me handing it to Lexi. But then once it was in her hand I wasn't sure whether to keep focusing on it or no. So I stopped.

"Aww Jazzy! You almost had it!" I froze. I did?

"What'd I do wrong?" I asked. In my mind she had it in her hand.

"You gotta actually make it mine! I felt it on my hand but it has to be inside of me. Not just on my hand."

"This is hard." I stated.

"It's alright! Try again!" She encouraged. So I did.

Bread, me cutting it, and giving it Lexi. But then I paused, how was I supposed to make it hers? Could I make her eat the bread? Or does it have to be all ghostly and kinda melt into her?

I decided to try having her eat it. Once she was finished I quit focusing.

"Did it work?" I asked.

She responded by hugging me as tight as she could. I took her gesture as her saying I did it.

I couldn't believe it worked! I hugged her back as tight as I could without hurting her.

"I need to get you back to Mallory's." I whispered in her ear.

"Now?" She whined.

"Soon, it's a two hour run. And it's already four o' clock."

She frowned. "That means that I won't get to see you."

I pressed her head against my chest and held her.

"You'll still get to see me. It just won't be everyday. I'll try and come next week. If not then, the week after."

"For three days again?" She asked.

"At the least." I smiled as she pulled away.

"Promise?"

I laughed. "Yes Lex, I promise."

I kissed her on the forehead.

"Now are you ready?" I asked.

"Wow. Your certainly in a hurry to get rid of me."

"I'm just worried that my family will catch on and then I won't be able to ever see you again," I hugged her. "Lex, I would never want to get rid of you. Not in a billion million trillion years. Not ever."

"I know, I was kidding." She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.

"Baby, I'm afraid that it be time to go." I whispered.

"Just one more day!" She pleaded.

"No love, you must be going back. Besides you have school."

"So, it's okay! I can-"

"No, no, no don't even finish that sentence!" I cut her off, knowing exactly where she was going.

"Please! Pretty please!" She begged.

"Alexis Olson, I said no! Now come on babe we need to get back I'm serious." I pulled her towards the entry.

"Nooooo!" She struggled against my pull.

"Lex, come on. If your going to be like this I'm not gunna come see you anymore." I threatened.

I knew she wouldn't buy it. We both knew I couldn't stand that.

"Yeah okay." She said in that voice that just screams HEY! I don't believe you!

"Lex, please." I begged.

"If you come back." She smiled.

"Lexi I'll always come back." I hugged her.

"Promise?"

"I promise."

LPV

"Do you have to go daddy?"

"Yes I'm afraid so Madilyn." He picked me up and kissed me on the cheek.

"But you'll come back right?"

"Of course I will." He chuckled.

"Promise?" I held out my pinkie.

"I promise." We linked.

I watched my father get on that Military bus. Never knowing if I'd ever see him again.

"Dad?" I called sitting straight up.

I looked around and sighed. Of course my father wouldn't be here. He would never be here.

I grabbed the glass of water I had next to my bed and took a sip. It was ice cold, someone had replaced it. Jasper.

The clock read 1:46. I'd been without Jasper for 9 hours and 57 minutes. Only I could keep track like this. How pathetic. I slid back under the covers and shut my eyes.

I was two seconds from falling asleep. But I swear I felt ice cold lips on my cheek.

Home. Crap!

I hated this place. It wasn't even home.

In fact it was our "cousins" house. The Denali's.

Although it was our cousin's house, and we had been here many times before, the house was still huge and unfamiliar.

The house had ten bedrooms. It was amazing considering that they only needed four. The other six were ours to have. But we only used five.

I walked through the door for the first time that day. It felt of coldness, despair, and hatred.

"Hi Jasper." Esme greeted me.

I just smiled at her. Anything more would have felt wrong.

She hugged me, an extremely normal thing for her.

"Jasper?" Alice called from upstairs.

"Alice." I returned.

She ran downstairs and dragged me back up with her.

For a pixie, she was pretty strong, and fast. She slammed the door behind her.

"Give it to me?" She demanded.

Cooper looked up from his laptop.

"What?" I stared at her. What did she want? My wallet?

"Give me what SHE gave you." Alice empathized the she.

"Who's she?" Cooper wondered.

"Huh?" I continued to stare at her.

"Jasper! Give it to me now!" Panic, why?

"What?" I shouted.

"Jasper! Do it NOW!" She shrieked.

"DO WHAT?" I yelled.

"Give part of it to me. The thing I need." Her eyes flashed to the door. They must be listening.

"A chill pill?" I guessed.

"What did you receive while 'hunting'?" She whispered while using air quotations.

"You didn't g-" Alice's hand flew over Cooper's mouth.

"Hush!" She snapped still whispering.

"Do you mean the thing?" I asked.

"Yes what I need for my head." Alice smiled.

"Ohhhh." I finally got it.

"Get it?" Alice asked.

Cooper said something I couldn't understand. Alice removed her hand from his mouth but looked fully ready to cover it again if need be.

"Give me your hand Alice."

"Cooper too. I promised." Alice gave me hers and forced Cooper to take mine.

I pictured the power as bread again, it had worked last time that way. I cut Cooper and Alice each a piece. Then made them it eat it. Once again when they were finished I stopped focusing.

"Did it work? I felt tingly in my hand and then it moved inside of me." Alice was the first to speak.

"I think so. It worked last time like that." I shrugged.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Alice called.

"Why can't I read anyone's mind in here?" Edward asked.

Crap! Again.

"Because, remember I told you, we're having a surprise for you and you can't know! So I'm making everyone block their mind so they don't accidentally ruin the surprise!" Alice smiled cheerfully.

"Right," Edward said slowly. "so I'm going hunting."

He turned to leave and Alice trailed after him.

Cooper and I sat awkwardly in his room until Alice came back with everyone in the house.

"Why?" Cooper asked.

"Because everyone's mind has to be blocked from Edward. Do it Jasper." Alice sat on the bed and watched as repeated the bread task thing over and over again.

Once I had everyone's mind blocked I looked at Alice for my next set of directions.

"Now tell everyone where you've really been for the past three days." She grinned.

"Where have you been?" Carlisle looked at me questioningly.

"I knew you didn't go hunting!" Cooper smiled.

"Oh GOD, it's probably some emo place." Rose rolled her eyes.

"No! It's no emo place! And I didn't go hunting." I snapped.

"Jasper," Esme spoke calmly. "where have you been?"

"With me!" Tanya laughed.

Irina rolled her eyes.

"Jasper." Carlisle questioned once more.

"I've been with...her." I answered quietly.

"With who?" Emmett asked.

"Alexis." I admitted.

Esme's eyes got wide and Carlisle looked uncomfortable. Cooper grinned at me wildly and Alice just sat there. Rosalie looked extremely mad, and felt that way too, while Emmett chuckled quietly to himself until getting smacked in the back of the head by Rose. No one in the Denali Coven knew who that was and therefore looked confused.

"Lexi is Jasper's EX girlfriend." Rosalie explained.

"She's NOT my ex!" I told her firmly.

"Well you were supposed to break it off with her." She shot.

"You all know I couldn't do that!" I rose my voice. Why didn't they want me to be with her?

"Jasper that was the plan." Cooper stated.

"What's wrong with me seeing her? Everything good in life seems to disappear! You guys just take it all away! We talked about this before! It's like anything good that happens in my life gets taken from me! What's wrong with me being happy?" I yelled looking at each one of my family members.

"Jaspe-" Tanya began. I put out my hand to stop her.

"No," I spoke calmly. "I'm going away for a while."

"I'll come with you!" Emmett volunteered.

"Alone." I looked at him. He felt rejected and turned to Rose for comfort.

She shunned him away.

Double rejection.

I walked out of the room, trying to forget them all. If only that was possible.

I started for the door, Esme beat me to it.

"Jasper please," She begged. "don't do this. We just got you back."

I stared in her eyes. So full of love, worry, and now sadness. All because of me.

"I can't." I looked down, unable to face her.

As if it helped anyway. I still knew, hurt and sadness came off of her, making me feel worse.

"Jasper, please, let's just talk about this." She placed her hand on my shoulder.

I looked again in her eyes. Painful still but somehow convincing.

"I do not wish to talk about it." I told her.

She sighed. I knew I was being difficult.

"That's fine but at least stay home. Even if it's only for tonight."

"May I actually go hunting? Then come back." I asked.

"You'll come right home?" She looked unconvinced.

"Yes mom." I smiled.

"Promise?" She asked.

"I promise."
