This one shot is set the night after Jasper and Alice met at the diner. Enjoy.
Song: 'In The Arm's of The Angel' By Sarah McLachlan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jasper walked suspiciously into the small dark and dank motel room where Alice was living. His mind was cautious even after having a long talk with Alice about who she was and what her intentions were, he was still expecting an attack of some sort. As Alice seemed too good to be true, why would God be giving him another chance.
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For the break that will make it okThere's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day
He watched as Alice sat on the end of the bed, his eyebrows knotted together as she patted on the mattress next to her, signalling him to join her. Why did she have such an interest is a evil creature, but she looked up at him as if she saw through the scarred flesh.
I need some distraction oh beautiful release Memories seep from my veins They may be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight
Jasper slowly walked over to her and gently lowered his body to sit next to her, he kept his distance for reasons he didn't understand. Alice seemed too good natured to hurt him or attempt to hurt him, his body stiffened as Alice lightly wrapped her arm around his shoulders pulling him closer.
In the arms of the Angel fly away from here From this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you fear
She was able to bring his body close enough to hers, so his arm touched her side. Jasper's eyes were wide with shock, she was treating him as if he was made of glass. Being careful not to break him, if he could get anymore broken.
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the Angel;
may you find some comfort here Her hand slowly moved to the back of his head, her fingers gently ran into his hair. Jasper's breathing increased as he expected something horrible and painful to be brought through this notion.
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack
Alice's fingers danced through his hair, massaging his head making all dark and painful thoughts escape his mind.
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees
He could feel himself grow weak and vulnerable as his body became numb from Alice's relaxing movements. Alice finally brought herself to wrap her free arm around the front of his body so he was trapped in her embrace.
In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you fear
Jasper didn't move or attempt to move he could feel himself relax to the point of not caring anymore, forgetting how he ended up in this room, forgetting how he let Alice talk him into going with her. Her relaxing and comforting emotions aloud Jasper to let his guard down completely.
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie In the arms of the Angel;
may you find some comfort here
Alice felt his body grow almost lifeless in her arms and she knew she's completed her task of calming him down, she sighed with relief as Jasper closed his eyes and for the first time in years, aloud himself to smile. He'd found his angel and he was wrapped in her arms, wishing this moment would never end. And his angel wished the same.
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here.
