Guys, I am SO SO sorry!!! I know I said I had the next 6 chapters done, and to be honest, I did! Document Manager wouldn't let me upload though, and at time, when I went to log in, it would give me an error message or something! When I could log in, I was either having to go somewhere or I was knee-deep in school work! It's the last month of school so we have big tests and everything (which I am now done with)! Now, I know what you may be thinking... "IT TAKES 2 SECONDS TO POST A NEW CHAPTER!!!" But it takes a while to check it over for mistakes. ;D I don't want to leave you guys reading a crappy chapter after your wait, do I?! No, I don't. Now though, what with all the free time I've had, I do not have 6 un-submitted chapters...but I have 12! I would continue this...but it's getting long...so I'll continue it after this. ;D
*~*~*
Me: Welcome back everyone! Today we have with us, not 1, but 2 people! Please welcome the cute couple...Bella and Edward!
Bella & Edward: *come out and sit down* Hi everyone!
Me: *turns towards Bella and Edward* Now, how does it feel to be the first important couple of the story?!
Edward: To be honest, it feels good. I really like it...and it's good to rub in Emmett's face.
Bella: But it's also embarrassing, you know? Now we have the super Emmett making kissing noises in front of my face.
Edward: But it makes you blush, and your blush is gorgeous.
Bella: *blushes* Stop it...
Edward: *leans in* You're gorgeous right now...
Me: Okay, that's enough! We don't need you staining the minds of children everywhere! Now, who will be the next couple? Alice and Jasper or Emmett and Rosalie?!
Edward: Nope, I can't tell.
Me: B-but...
Bella: WE SAID NO!
Me: Fine! No need to get nasty! But that question brings up another one...kind of. Who do you want to see become a couple first?
Bella: Both.
Edward: I agree.
Me: It can't be both!!!
Bella: Well I can't choose! It's mean.
Edward: I agree.
Me: Oh, shut up. You're just agreeing with her because you love her!
Bella: That's not why! You're so...what's the word...immature.
Edward: I agree.
Me: *stands up* Well, you know what?! If I'm so immature, don't talk to me anymore! I might rub off on you! *pushes Bella to the door* So why don't you take Mr. I-agree and leave!!!
Bella: Fine! Come on Mr. I- ... I mean, Edward! Let's go and never look back!
Edward: I agr-
Me: *throws lamp at his head and glares at him*
Edward: I mean... I think that's a good idea. *leaves with Bella*
Me: It's the same thing!!!
Camera: *is pointing at a fuming Lala*
Me: *looks at camera and hits it, causing it to fall* Get that camera away from me! I'm leaving! I'm going to sue Bella and Edward!!!
Producer: You can't do that...
Me: THE HECK I CAN'T! IT'S MY STORY!
Producer: But...
Me: *rolls up sleeves* You wanna fight, eh? I'll show you a-
~~Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep~~
You can't see anymore. You'll be scarred for life. But what you can see is the new chapter! I hope it's good for all of you!!!

Previously on We'll Get Along Just Fine:
"You're lying to yourself and to me," I pointed out. "You see, I have a theory about these beautiful flowers you gave me. I don't think it's a friendly gesture at all. You and I both know that there's a meaning behind this, and even if what I think the meaning is is completely wrong, I know I'm on the right path."
"What's your theory?" He asked slowly, leaning closer.
I didn't know when I'd become so brave as to speak my thoughts and express my feelings. I had always been a nervous wreck around Jasper, so why did confessing everything now just seem so natural?
I was so surprised at my bravery, that the next words out of my mouth shocked me, as it wasn't a question, but a statement.
"You love me."
*~*Chapter 37~Everything's Better Now*Jasper's POV~*
I froze, not knowing what to say. Alice was staring at me with determination in her eyes, and at that moment, I knew that she had the truth. It didn't matter to me the words she said. All that mattered were the emotions playing across her face, waiting for me to confirm the fact. I wasn't thinking about the next words to come out of my mouth though, or the next actions I would do. There was only one question playing through my mind.
How did she find out?
I knew I hadn't made it difficult to see my affection towards her. If anything, I had written it on my forehead and paraded through the streets with a sign that said, "I love Alice!" The thing though, is that I thought I had at least disguised my love towards her with silly excuses. I should've known better though. Alice was a perceptive one, and I had only know just found out how perceptive she really was.
"J-Jasper?" Alice asked, her eyebrows furrowing in worry. "I'm sorry if I made you mad or anything..." She sighed and scratched the back of her neck, her head turning to the side. "I could be wrong," she murmured, sadness clear in her voice.
That snapped me out of my trance. "Mad? Wrong? Alice, where do you get all of this?"
She shrugged, still refusing to look at me. "You're not saying anything."
"Darling, it could be because I'm shocked," I chuckled, grabbing her and pulling her close to me. She sat on my lap and waited for me to continue. "Trust me, I'm not mad at you. Why would I be mad at the truth?"
She didn't say anything. I put my head on her shoulder and craned it so I could get a good look at her face. She turned her head a little and her mouth opened and closed a couple of times. "So I'm...right?" A smile stretched out across her face and her eyes sparkled with joy before I could even answer her obvious question.
"As right as you'll ever be," I promised.
She nodded, the smile still in place. "So I'm guessing there's two things we have to do now. It's customary."
"What would those be?"
Alice sighed in content and leaned her head back before answering. "Don't people like, tell the other that they love them in those words? You know, no riddles or clues or big speeches about how you compare to the night sky or anything." It surprised me that she had said that without hesitation, but then again, she was Alice - always so outgoing.
"I suppose you're right," I said, grinning. "You want me to tell you how much I love you or would you rather I just kept it simple?"
She bit her bottom lip, not answering, but waiting.
My mouth turned up at one corner. "Alice, you are the light of my life, and I love you."
"You didn't keep it simple," she said, a grin on her face.
I raised an eyebrow, amused. "I love you."
"I didn't hear you."
I laughed and hugged her close. "I love you."
She threw her arms around my neck and sighed happily. "I love you too."
"I didn't hear you," I teased. Alice rolled her eyes and before I could say anything else, she crushed her lips to mine. I gasped, shocked, but I didn't make any move to stop. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer, and she tangled her fingers in my hair and brought my head down. I parted my lips slightly, frowning when she pulled back.
She grinned at my expression, and gently pressed her lips to mine again. "I told you we don't need magical waters of love to get our relationship going," she muttered against them.
"You were absolutely right," I said, grinning. "But what's that other customary thing we have to do?"
She laughed and stood up, putting her hands on her hips. "Silly Jasper! We already did it!" I looked at her, confused, and she rolled her eyes. "The kiss, Jasper. That's the other thing we had to do!" I smiled sheepishly, feeling idiotic, and she just laughed and put a hand on my cheek. "I still love you," she said quietly, a warm smile on her face.
I took her hand and placed a kiss on it. "You are amazing."
"You've said that a couple thousand times, Jasper."
I frowned. "You don't like it?"
"I love it," she assured.
I chuckled. "Okay then, honey." I pat the space next to me, and she sat down, resting her head on my shoulder. "What do you want to talk about?" She shrugged and I smiled. "How about...our lives? Is there anything you want to share?"
"Not really," she said, looking up at me. "I just can't think of anything."
I nodded. "How about us? Is there anything I should do to make you really happy? I wouldn't want to do something that could hurt you," I said, knowing very well that I would never even try to in the first place.
She tensed, her eyes widening, and my hands immediately started hovering over her in worry. "What's wrong? What did I say?"
"Nothing," she choked out. "You just reminded me of someone. That's all."
I raised an eyebrow. "I'm guessing this someone left a bad impression on you..." She nodded her head and I frowned, feeling the anger boil inside of me, even though I had no idea who this person was. "Who is he and what happened?!"
She sighed, and I immediately felt guilty. This was probably something she never wanted to think about, and here I was, forcing it out of her. "Alice, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I assured her.
Alice shook her head. "No, I actually want to. It would be better if you knew. No secrets," she promised, smiling up at me. I smiled back and waited for her to begin. She hesitated and squirmed around a little before starting. "His name is James."
"How is he...important?"
She scowled. "He was my boyfriend but then things got ugly..."
"How?" I questioned, curious.
She frowned. "He wasn't right for me. Ever. I was just so blinded by the love that I had for him that I completely disregarded that. Being in love makes you feel special, and I just loved it so much that I..." She trailed off, not knowing how to explain. "I was just...ignoring everything that might lead to the feeling going away."
I nodded in understanding. "Why wasn't he the one?"
"He never paid attention to me, he never seemed to like what I did, and he just did all these things that I didn't appreciate. Whenever I got excited over something, he would look around, embarrassed, and tell me to shut up."
I frowned with her. "He must have made one good impression when he first met you."
"He did. Then later on, the problem started happening," Alice said, quiet, and I knew this was the hard part. "I should've known it was coming. Whenever we went somewhere, I always had to snap him out of his trance in order to talk to him. He was always winking at girls and staring at them, which in time, made me feel unimportant. So one day, I told him how I felt and he just started...laughing at me."
I felt like I wanted to rip someone's throat out. "Did you know Bella and Rosalie at the time?"
"I knew Bella. She had met me just a few weeks before. Bella was happy that I had James, but then when he started acting weird, she told me to just dump him and move on. I knew she was right, so one day, when James and I were at the park, I pulled him aside and told him that we weren't working out," she mumbled. "Then he started yelling at me and calling me 'worthless,' and he said he was glad he would have the chance to get away from me."
I smiled. "So then he left and you were happy?"
"I wish," she said, laughing humorlessly. "I guess what he said was just for show, and he thought he would guilt me or make me want to stay with him. So I turned around to walk away and I felt his hand wrap around my arm. It didn't hurt, but it was firm, so I couldn't really escape."
My eyes widened. "He hurt you after that, didn't he?!"
She shook her head. "He may be nasty but he isn't the one to hurt people. He instead tried to talk me out of it," she said. "'Alice, you don't know what you're doing. This is a bad choice.'" Alice quoted him sourly, her nose wrinkling in disgust. "I told him that he didn't own me and tried to get away, but I wasn't able to." A grin stretched across her face and I looked at her, confused.
"You're happy about that?" I asked, questioning her sanity. "You liked what he did to you?"
She stared at me, shocked that I had even thought that. "No! Of course I didn't like it! Who in their right mind would like it?!" I smiled sheepishly and she rolled her eyes. "I was happy because I then met Rosalie."
I grinned, realizing where she was going with this. "Let me guess. She took care of him?"
"You could say that," she laughed. "Rosalie saw that James was holding me and she came up to him and slapped him hard. He actually fell down and Rosalie was towering above him, saying every bad word known to humans and some known to animals," Alice teased. "I think she scarred him for life...or embarrassed him. He got up and just started walking away. I thanked Rosalie and she said she 'hated men like that' and that she knew what I was going through..."
I nodded my head as Alice trailed off, but then something caught my attention. "Wait, you say she knew what you had to go through?"
Alice sighed, staring at nothing in particular. "After that we started talking and I took her to meet Bella. We pretty much became the best of friends after that," she explained, ignoring my original question. She smiled as the story got to a happy ending and I smiled too, not bothering to ask again. She obviously didn't want to answer and I wasn't going to force her too.
"Rosalie is a great friend," I mumbled, and Alice nodded her head in agreement.
At that moment, Rosalie came back, a smile on her face. She came over and wrapped her arms around Alice, trapping her in a hug. Bella and Edward came next, and they just sat on couch, saying nothing but watching everything.
Emmett was last and his face was by far the worst.
It was a mixture of happiness, which I guessed was for Alice and I, and confusion. The strongest emotion though was anger, and I didn't need to read minds to know that he had heard the bit about Rosalie. "So, here's the happy couple," Emmett said, trying to think about something less violent. I wouldn't be surprised if he was thinking about ways to kill the guy. "Aren't you two just adorable?"
"And we're second," Alice winked, causing Emmett to glare at her. "I wonder who'll be next..."
Rosalie rolled her eyes and sat down next to Bella. "Haha, Alice."
Alice stuck her tongue out at Rosalie childishly. "I know you were thinking it too."
"Oh really?" Emmett asked, looking at Rosalie. He made his way over to her and smirked. "You were thinking about it too?"
"Shut up," she mumbled, but she turned her head, a small smile playing on the edge of her lips. Emmett grinned triumphantly and sat down next to her, wrapping an arm around her. "We're best friends."
"Sure," Edward chuckled. "You should go shopping together."
Bella grinned. "That would be a great idea!"
"I know!" Emmett said, squealing, which brought laughter filling the room. "I need new shoes."
I smiled and got up, remembering that I had to go do something. "I'm going to go check the mail and see if it's here," I said, looking at Emmett and Edward. They both nodded their heads and smiled, while the girls looked at me, confused. I shook my head to signal that I wouldn't tell them, and Alice pouted, wanting to know. "Alice, you'll find out soon enough, darling. It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you."
"Fine," she said, crossing her arms.
I laughed and grabbed the key for the mailbox and went outside. I reached the mailbox, and leaning against it was a man I had never seen before. I raised an eyebrow at him, not knowing why he was there. "Hello," I said.
He smirked. "Hey."
~*~*~
