It said how much Jasper truly cared for Alice that he would drop everything he had been doing which consisted of writing a new song and eating Chinese takeout with Rosalie to pick up Alice on the boarder of La Push and Forks when he got a text from her saying she needed him. It wouldn't be the first time he was there for her when something happened, but in all honesty it had been years since she ever asked for his help. To say he was intrigued after all this time would be an understatement. He was about to burst with unanswered questions soon if he did not find out why she called him of all people. The only thing he could thing was maybe she had gotten in to a fight with her little boyfriend. The blond musician tried to squash down his glee at that thought.

He found her walking down the main road in to town. He quickly pulled over and reached across the seats to roll down the passenger side winder. It appeared that she had not heard him pull up behind her. She was completely lost in thought. He knew he would have to call out of her to get her attention. "Are you alright Ali?"

The bi-polar painter nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard Jasper show up beside her. She quickly got in to his car and pulled her knees up to her chest. She was quiet for a very long time as they started driving slowly to nowhere in particular. The good thing about Jasper Hale was the fact he wouldn't try to push her to talk since he knew from all his years knowing her that it would never work. After a few minutes she tilted her head in order to be able to look at him. He kept glancing in her direction and at first she thought his expression held genuine concern for her, but it was quickly schooled to show no emotion at all.

"I want you to do something for me." Alice could hear the uncertainty in her own voice and tried to push it to the side. If she did not come off as one hundred percent that this is what she wanted then she knew without a doubt that he would never go for it.

"Alice, what happened?" Jasper asked when he realized she was most definitely not her perky happy self. She wasn't exactly having a down day, but she wasn't up in the sky happy either. He reached out to turn off the radio and gave her his full attention. If it had been anyone else on the planet he probably wouldn't have bothered.

She cast her gaze down and fiddled with her fingers, which was a sure sign that something was on her mind. She had done that since they were children. Whenever she was nervous about something she would start to mess with her fingers or tap her foot to the rhythm of a children's song. "I don't want to talk about it."

The southern guitarist knew when to drop the subject if it were a lost cause. When Alice did not want to talk about something then there would be no talking about it. Instead he decided to get an answer to her earlier question by re asking it. As stated before it was not often that Alice asked him for a favor and his curiosity was starting to eat away at his insides. "Well what did you want me to do?"

The child sized teenager stopped fiddling with her fingers as soon as Jasper felt the question leave his lips. It was as if she were frozen for a few seconds when in reality she had been trying to gather up her courage. After a few deep breaths she managed to form the words and push them up and out through her mouth. "I want to… I want to get high with you."

"You what?" He froze as well and was lucky that no other cars happened to be on the road. Of all the things she could have asked this was not at all what he had been expecting. He thought that maybe she would ask for a ride back to the school or something or maybe she wanted a shopping partner. This had been completely unexpected. "Alice no that stuff isn't for you. Where did you get a crazy idea like this?"

"I know you do it." She pushed on with her features set in to determination. There was no way she was going to let him tell her she couldn't do something if she really wanted to do it. "I found some in your room once when I was looking for something for Edward and I want to do it with you."

Everyone knew that Jasper did drugs. Well, all the student population because if the teachers knew then he would get kicked out of school for sure. Drugs were part of the music scene and he been sucked in very early on. He never did anything hard anymore. He had used coke once, but unlike other people who claimed it caused them to focus he only got really nervous and paranoid on the stuff and so he had never done it again. He didn't even pop pills unless it was a special occasion or something. Sure he smoked pot and yet even now he did it less than he had. Mostly he did whenever he needed to relax or concentrate. He had two different dealers for that very reason. It always depended on the type which kind of reaction he would have.

The thought of sweet little Alice doing drugs did not settle well with him and he needed to know what pushed her to want to do something like this. "Why?"

"Why not?" Alice countered and crossed her arms. She had been hoping that would be end of argument, but obviously she had been wrong. She rolled her eyes and huffed. "You and your friends do it and so I see no reason as to why I shouldn't be allowed to do the same. I read that it can relax you and my meds don't seem to be working as well as they did before. My thoughts are all over the place and I am screaming at people and wanting to-"

When she cut off Jasper knew right away what she had been planning to say. She had wanted to hurt herself again like she had in the past. Jasper could feel his fingers tighten on the wheel when he remember one time he and Edward had gone looking for her when she was ten and they found her in a tree fort they had built when they were ten. The pair had always told her that she wasn't allowed in because she had cooties and the day they went in search of her they had found her there in tears cutting her arms to shreds with a piece of broken glass she must've found somewhere. Luckily all of her cuts had been superficial and none of them had needed stiches. Still the memory was enough to make Jasper flinch. He did not want to go through something like that again. He'd been the one to wrap her arms up since her brother had been almost frozen in his horror.

Keeping his voice void of emotion he took a deep breath. "Maybe you need to have your meds checked Ali. Doing drugs is not the way you want to go. Trust me when I say that once you do it you won't be able to just walk away. I'm going to say it because I can since I know you, you have a very addictive personality and if you start this there is a good chance that you won't be able to stop. You will looking for the next hit to give you a lift and soon simple drugs won't work anymore and you will be looking for something harder. I don't want to see you end up like that."

"Then don't let me." The tiny painter whispered with a frown, her big eyes blinking up at him in desperation as she grabbed his hands just like she used to do when they were little. One of his big hands could swallow up both of her smaller ones. "You can be with me the entire time and if you think I have had enough then I will stop. I need this Jasper even if only the once. I feel like I am trapped in my head and I don't know how to get out. I just need to leave reality for a little why. So come with me and we can do it together. Why do you think I came to you? I may not like you all the time, but you are the only person I would ever consider doing this with."

Jasper sighed as they reached the intersection. He could go one of two ways. The choices were going back to school or going to his local dealer's house. For the first time in his life he was trying to put the needs of someone else before him. He did not want this kind of life for Alice, but she was sitting here begging him and he always had a hard time saying no to her. This had to be one of the toughest choices he would ever have to make.

Back at the barbecue in La Push Jacob Black had finally made and appearance. He had come straight up to Leah while ignoring Edward's presence and hugged her. He said he was sorry for being a jackass before asking her dance. The street dancing female had told her boyfriend to mingle and that she would be back in a few minutes. She must not have seen the glares Jacob sent in his direction. Edward had only nodded politely as he watched the pair walk away. It didn't take him long to get company. Paul came to stand next to him as they watched Jacob and Leah dance to Shooting Star by David Rush. Leah did exceptionally well while Jacob on the other hand did not.

"So Jacob and Leah have never been together?" The bronze haired ballet dancer asked trying to seem uninterested and as if he was just trying to start a simple conversation. He kept his eyes glued to the pair as they danced together. "You wouldn't think that seeing them together. I mean I always thought they were a couple."

Paul snorted as he looked at Leah and Jacob. He would admit that they looked good together, but they did not belong together. "Oh he wishes they could be."

"He loves her doesn't it?" Edward asked even though the question did not really need an answer. It was pretty fucking obvious that Jacob Black was in love with Leah Clearwater.

The tap dancer nodded as he took a sip of his punch. He noticed Claire coming over to say hello. She was a bouncing ball of energy and if she had not been Seth's cousin they would've been perfect together. "Head over heels, but Lee never saw it. She only ever saw him as a brother and I think that is all she is ever going to see him as."

The ballet dancer felt relief flood through him when he heard this. He wasn't lying when he said that he had always thought Jacob and Leah to be and item. Now he was wondering if the drummer had ever made a move on her. "He never asked her out?"

"Not that I know of." Claire cut in to the conversation with a bright smile. She was bouncing on the balls of her feet to the beat of the song. "I know he has tried, but Leah can be quite intimidating."

A chuckle escaped Edward's lips. He did not need anyone to tell him that. His girlfriend could be quite the intimidation monster when she wanted to be. "Oh I know that."

The younger girl smiled up at her cousin's boyfriend. She thought he was cute and wondered if he would find it weird if she worked up the courage to ask if she could run her fingers in his hair. "She really likes you."

"How do you know?" The green eyed teen male questioned as the song changed to Hot and Cold by Katy Perry. He saw Leah laugh and grab Jacob's arm as he tried to get away. She made a face at him and said something which caused him to stay and dance with her, though it was pretty obvious he did not want to.

"I grew up with her and I know how she works trust me. I am her cousin after all. She has never brought a boy home to meet her mother before. For her to do that it means she trusts you and Leah doesn't trust a lot of people." The older Quilette male stated as he looked over to see Edward Cullen watching the dancing pair with a fierce intensity. For a few seconds he thought the dancer to be pissed and then he realized he was studying them as if taking notes like one would do in class. "Are you getting dance ideas from them?"

Suddenly Claire's whole face lit up as she grabbed his hand and pulled him out so they were next to Jake and Leah. "The best ideas come from actually doing as my mom tells me. I know I am not Leah on the dance floor, but I am pretty sure that I can hold my own so let's shake that thing and dance!"

Edward laughed lightly, but danced with her anyways. He didn't overthink his movies since this was just done for fun. He was sure to keep his moves silly which caused Claire to burst out laughing on more than one occasion. He even mimicked Katy Perry as he tried to dance like she did in her music video. Eventually Claire asked Jacob to dance with her and the ballet dancer figured that she was trying to help him out by getting Black away from his girlfriend and he was thankful for that. With Claire dancing with Jacob it left Leah open to dance with him.

"Cause your hot and your cold, your yes then you're no, you're in than your out, you're up and your down, your wrong when its right, its black and its white, we fight we break up, we kiss we make up!" Leah sang at the top of her lungs and her boyfriend couldn't help but be happy she hadn't tried to get in to the school with her horrible singing voice.

Grabbing her hand he twirled her around as they did a strange made up version of the two step which kind of just came to them in the moment. People at the barbecue had started to watch them and some where even clapping. Things were going great until a voice cut in and while Edward did not recognize the voice it appeared Leah did. Her whole body went rigid and any enjoyment she had been experiencing vanished almost instantly. "Well look if it isn't Leah Clearwater. Still living in the delusion you can be a dancer?"

TBC…

AN: I woke up at four this morning and could not fall asleep so between reading the Hunger Games and writing I managed to get this out. I think that it came out rather who and you aren't going to need two guesses to know who it was that interrupted the fun. You all knew she would be coming in to the story eventually. I hope that you all liked this chapter and in the next chapter will have a dance off between two dancers though you most likely already know who they are. Still I would love to hear your guesses.

Please R&R like always!

Preview for the next chapter:

"My lungs are on fire."

"Ali breath!" "It's normal to feel that way. I told you not to inhale it like a cigarette. You could give yourself a coughing fit that way."

"Do you think Seth is too good for me?"

"Do we have to talk about your boyfriend?"

"No I guess not." "I had the best idea ever!"

"And I suppose I am going to hear it?"

"Well of course silly!" "We should try to break a world record!"

"Which world record?"

"Well I hadn't gotten that far yet. All I had come up with was trying to break a world record."

"Why couldn't you be one of those stoners who stare off in to space for hours at a time?"

AND

"So I heard you are trying to put a crew together."

"So what if I am?" "Are you scared that you may actually have a challenge?"

"Do you know of someone who could challenge us because I know you cannot be possible talking about your little group?"

"How about if my fists talks to your face?"

"Violence always did suit you more than dancing."

"All I hear is yap, yap, yap, I'm a scared ho bag who knows that Leah Clearwater is going to wipe the floor with her at the dance battle."

"Yet all I hear is blah, blah, blah, so I think I can dance."

"I know I can dance."

"Oh I heard all about your little achievement from your mother." "You got picked to lead the dance team at your little school how sweet."

"I'll give you sweet you Brittany Spears want to be." "I am calling you out here and now."
