Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! I apologize for that cruel twist at the end but I just had to! The idea came to me last week during school and it was just perfect! :))

JPV

I was over at Lexi's by eight, not really expecting her to be up by then but to my huge surprise she was.

"Hey Carli!" I greeted her sister when she opened the door for me.

Carli looked exceptionally happy today, "Hi Jasper!"

I walked up the stairs and was instantly confused. There were boxes everywhere.

"What's going on?" I asked her.

"Oh didn't Lexi tell you? We're moving!" She was practically bouncing off the walls.

I stared at her, "I haven't seen Lexi since last night. When did you find this out?"

"Lexi woulda found out when she got home last night, or this morning depending on what time she got home."

Lexi appeared then on the stairs and ran over to me once she saw me. Tears flowed from her face as she buried her face in my shirt.

"Oh Lexi," I comforted her, "it'll be okay! You don't have to leave with them."

"Yes I do!"

"No you don't, you can live by yourself now!"

"Jasper I'm only seventeen. In the United States you must be eighteen to live alone." She cried.

I frowned, "Oh yeah. I'd like to kill whoever made up that rule."

I felt her smile against my chest. "Me too."

"When are you leaving?" I reluctantly asked. The longer the better.

"Monday night."

"MONDAY NIGHT!" My jaw dropped. I had five days with her, and three would be spent fighting off stupid vampires!

Crushing her to my chest, I buried my face in her sweet-smelling hair.

"Do you think they'd mind if I took you away for a while?"

"No, don't even ask. Let's just go." She begged.

I shrugged and led her outside, but of course Bella would be coming up the drive way.

"What's wrong?" Bella rushed over to her.

Lexi shook her head and hugged Bella tightly.

"Alexis Olson, whats the matter? Why is she crying?"

"Mary talked to me last night," Lexi told Bella still hugging her, "she worked out all the issues we had in Cali and now we're moving."

Bella looked shocked, "You're moving! NO! She can't take you away like that!"

"Yes she can, she's my legal guardian and I'm not of age yet." Lexi frowned.

Bella's shoulders slumped. "You're gunna leave me in Forks with these freaks?"

Lexi laughed, "I'm sorry if it was up to me I wouldn't go."

"That's offensive," I told Bella, "I'm not a freak."

My angel laughed harder. "Oh yes you are!"

"Well!" I walked past them and got in my truck.

Bella and Lexi climbed in as well.

"Oh no! Get out! You can't ride with freaks!" I joked.

Lexi clung to me, "Take me with you!"

Bella clung to both of us, "Me too!"

I was surprised at how much Bella had opened up over the months. She was so open and fun once she got comfortable. Lexi had really brought the teenager back in her. Lexi had brought the teenager back in all of us. Now it was all going to go away, along with her.

The ride was silent, no one dared to talk. Gloomy air filled the truck and made it hard to breathe. All of us trying to escape fate and reality. We arrived at my house, the air seemed to be less intense, and went inside all trying to be normal.

It was an unspoken deal that no one would talk about the move. Or at least not yet.

"What's wrong?" Esme could sense the tension and sadness in the air as soon as we walked in. It was a sunny day out, which was odd for Forks, but that did nothing to mask the air.

I shrugged, Bella shook her head, and Lexi smiled slightly.

"Don't lie to me," Esme demanded following us into the living room with the rest of the family, "Lexi looks like she's been crying now what's wrong?"

"Lexi does look like she's been crying! Jasper did you beat her?" Emmett frowned.

I rolled my eyes and sat next to him and Lexi, "No Emmett I didn't beat her!"

"Then what happened?" Carlisle was concerned.

"It has nothing to do with the fight." Lexi told them.

Cooper looked relieved, "Oh thank God! Well, I don't care anymore!"

Alice smacked him.

"What happened Edward?" Esme asked the mind-reader.

"I don't think it's my place to say..." Edward smiled apologetically at Lexi and I.

Esme used her last hope, "Alice?"

"Definitely not my place to say." She responded immediately.

"Jasper tell me or you'll never see Lexi again." Esme threatened.

I scoffed.

"Esme, that's the worst punishment you could possibly use right now." Edward informed her.

Lexi leaned against my chest and a few tears fell. I pulled her closer and wished I could make her tears go away.

Emmett rubbed Lexi's arm, "Lexi what's wrong sweety?"

I smacked Emmett, "Don't call her that."

He rose his hands in surrender, "Sorry! Sorry!"

Cooper grinned, "Lexi if you tell me what's wrong I'll give you candy?"

"What is she? Five?" Alice hit Cooper on the head.

"Violent today people?" Carlisle looked at us.

"Violent and upset," Edward frowned. "allow me to offer my condolences."

Esme's eyes widened, "Who died?"

Alice looked at the ground, "Jasper will shortly."

If Esme's eyes would've gotten any bigger they would've popped out of her head and knocked her over, "Why is Jasper going to die?"

Lexi sighed, "Mary got some stuff worked out in California. I'm moving on Monday."

Everyone except those who didn't already know fell silent from shock.

"Oh no." Esme breathed.

"But you don't have to go with." Cooper pointed out.

"Yes she does." I frowned.

Cooper argued, "No she doesn't."

"Yes she does." Alice told him.

"She just had her birthday!" He demanded.

"Yeah, my seventeenth one. I'm not eighteen yet. I'm not of age to live alone without a legal guardian or parent." Lexi sighed.

"Why so early?" Alice asked, finally not knowing something.

"She hates it here. Her, like my sisters want to move as soon as possible." She frowned.

Jasper looked at the ground; his look killed me. I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved with him. I only made everything worse for him and his family.

Carlisle sighed, "That doesn't leave us very much time."

"It'll be fine," I told him, "the fights not til Saturday."

"No, I'm not talking about the fight." He waved me off.

"Then what are you talking about?" Cooper asked stroking his non-existent beard.

"The court house is only open so many days Cooper." Esme added on to the silent conversation.

I looked at the two of them, "Will you please explain what's going on?"

"I'll get a hold of her." Carlisle stated to only Esme, because she's the only one who knew what was happening besides Edward and possibly Alice.

It was short, although I saw Carlisle calling Mary. But why? Nothing he could say would convince her to stay in Forks.

"That's pointless." I stated.

Esme looked at me, "No its not, it'll fix it."

"Carlisle calling her won't change anything."

"Why not? You don't think she'd do it?"

I laughed, "I know she won't! There's no way you convince her to stay here."

Esme looked confused, "Wait, what?"

"Carlisle calling her and trying to convince her to stay in Forks won't work."

"That's not what he's doing." Edward told me.

Now I was confused, "Then why's he calling her?"

"To try and get custody of you!" She explained.

My eyes widened. Custody of me? That would mean they'd take me in, which would mean I'd stay in Forks with them!

"Oh Esme! I can't let you do that!" I frowned.

It was nice that they offered, but I wasn't going to force myself on them. That wasn't the point of me telling them I was moving. The point was, to let them know I was leaving.

"Oh Alexis yes you can!

"You don't have too, that wasn't why I told you I was leaving. I don't wanna force myself on you."

She can over by me and squeezed my hand, sitting on the coffee table. "I know. We want to have you here, you're apart of the family now."

The tears came back and I smiled at her. Jazzy rubbed my arm and squeezed my hand as well.

"See, I told you you would be apart of this family. And to think you thought they wouldn't like you." He grinned at me.

Carlisle came back down the stairs, "There all worked out! All I have to do is get the paper work from the city, have her sign it and turn it in for approval."

I got up and hugged him tightly. "Thank you."

"We experienced what happened when you're gone, its not something we'd like to have happen again." Carlisle whispered.

"YAY! Lexi's gunna live with me!" Emmett picked me up and hugged me until I thought my brains were gunna explode out of me.

"Now, so I'm not regretting my decision, there's got to be new rules now." Carlisle brought our attention to him.

Emmett groaned, "I hate rules!"

"I know, but with you being wild and Lexi being human we need order in here." Esme explained.

"So what kinda rules we talking about?" Cooper looked at them questioningly.

Carlisle thought a moment, "Well...I'm not quite sure." He looked to Esme for help.

"Look kids, just don't do anything stupid or things that might be potentially dangerous to Lexi and we're fine."

Cooper frowned, "Does that mean no throwing her around the house?"

"Yes." Jasper snarled at him.

"Chill bro! I was kidding!" Cooper held up his hands in surrender.

"I don't kid when it comes to her." Jasper growled at him.

Cooper nudged him in the arm, "Loosen up bro! You gotta learn to let go!"

"If I ever 'let go' the human population with suddenly go from almost 7 billion to 0." Jazzy frowned.

"Aw come on Jazzman! We all no it wouldn't!" Emmett clapped Jasper's shoulder.

I hugged him as tight as I could and sent him every bit of love I could muster.

"They're right for once ya know." I whispered.

He shook his head and wrapped his arms around me, "You have no idea just how dangerous I really am...or how selfish I am."

"Jasper, you're the most giving person I've ever met. You love me more than anything, you'd never to anything to hurt me! You defied your parents to make me happy."

"That makes me disobedient not giving."

I gave him my 'really?' look.

"What time is it Cooper?" He changed the subject.

"A little after noon." Cooper looked at his phone.

"Why do you need to know what time it is?" Emmett asked.

Jasper rolled his eyes, "So we can prepare to train again."

"When are we doing that?" Bella asked.

"We're gunna start earlier today right?" Cooper looked to Jasper for conformation.

Jazzy nodded, "We're going to start at midnight."

"Meaning we have twelve hours to kill." Alice frowned.

"I should probably go pack." I stood up and stretched.

Emmett looked confused, "But you're not moving."

"Yes I am."

"No, Carlisle just cleared that up." Emmett demanded.

I sighed, "Emmett. I'm moving in with you guys. I have to pack."

"Oh yeah!" Emmett nodded, smiling now that he got it.

Jasper laughed at his stupid brother, "Come on I'll take you home."

We ended up taking Edward's Volvo because it had more interior space and Jasper didn't think I'd want my suitcases out in the rain. Which was very true.

I didn't expect much when I got home. Instead I got a lot. I gave Mary the papers, which she signed and went into my room Jasper at my heels. When I opened my door I found Mallory, and a very upset Emma.

"Hey!" I gave Mallory a hug.

"Hey you!" She returned the gesture.

I sat beside Emma on my bed. She turned away from me refusing any contact whatsoever.

"Hi Jasper." Mallory greeted him.

He nodded in her direction, making eye contact for a few seconds.

I looked at Emma, "Whats wrong?"

She shook her head and frowned.

"Emma, you can't lie to me."

"How could you do this to me?" She erupted in a ball of fury.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

Emma turned to face me tears in her eyes, "How can you just leave me? We're twins! We're supposed to stay together! Don't you care how this is going to effect everyone? Or are you too selfish to care? Don't you care how we feel about this? Don't you know the pain this will cause? Can't you understand? What amIgoing to do without you? Life is going to be so empty don't you know that? But I suppose you don't care do you? All you want and care about is your stupid boy toy anyway."

I stared at her in shock, unable to believe what she just said.

"Emma," I stated her name, not sure how to even begin. "you have to understand."

"Understand what? That you're boyfriend is suddenly more important than me and our family?"

I sighed, "No. You have to understand that he is what I want. We're going to be eighteen next year. We have to start making our own decisions. You want to move to California. I want to stay in Forks. We aren't kids anymore Em. We're going to be starting our lives and I want to start mine with him. We can still see each other and talk to each other, none of that's going to change ever. You're still my twin."

Emma shook her head and walked out of the room, "It won't be the same."

I groaned and fell back on my bed closing my eyes and praying for okayness. Jasper stroked my hair.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

"You don't have anything to be sorry for. You can't help how she feels." I opened my eyes and sat up.

Mallory waved at me. "Hi."

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I came to visit you and my favorite vampire." She smiled.

Jasper nodded, "Sweet. Wanna head back to my place once we're done here?"

Mallory nodded excitedly. "Sure!"

I pulled out my suitcases and packed. It wasn't hard with Mal and Jazzy helping but Emma's words still burned in my mind. She wouldn't understand. Not unless she was in the know.

After we packed we went to Jasper's house. Surprisingly the wolves were there. I checked the time, it was only four. What were they doing here now?

"What are they doing here?" Jasper asked looking at his family.

"They wanted to go over battle strategies." Carlisle explained.

Jasper nodded, "What'd you come up with?"

"Nothing," Carlisle chuckled, "they just got here."

"Hey Mallory!" Emmett gave her a hug.

Mallory looked shocked, "Emmett?"

She looked at me for conformation. I nodded and smiled at her.

"You're alive! Well...kinda." She giggled and hugged him again.

"Yupp, sure am!" Emmett grinned with her.

Then it happened.

Seth looked at Mallory. Mallory looked back. The world shifted and I knew what happened. Jake had explained it to me.

I looked at Seth in shock once the two finally broke eye contact.

"Did you just imprint on my best friend?"

Whoa! Seth and Mallory? What do you all think about that one? :)) Don't forget to review and lemme know! I hope you enjoyed! Also be looking out for an updated Chapter 11! I'm in the process of rewriting it and would love you opinion when it's up and finished!
