I own nothing. Stephenie Meyer owns all.

Alice POV.

"Eughhh" I groaned as I woke up. I turned to my side, looking for Jasper, but came up empty. Where the hell is he? I panicked as I sat up. I clasped a hand over my mouth as the sudden movement made me feel queasy. Not to self…take it slow! I warned myself as I took a few calming breaths.

I stood up tentatively, and then toppled back onto the bed having lost my balance and having been distracted by Jasper walking in through the door.

"Need a hand honey?" he asked me with the cutest smile on his face. I sighed, feeling pathetically weak, and then nodded my head lightly in conformation to his question. He headed towards me slowly, looking over my body.

"You look so pale" he whispered as he got me to stand up. Gee thanks…just what I wanted to hear…I held back from shaking my head. "I'll have to help you get some colour back into those cheeks" he whispered suggestively as his lips lowered to my mouth.

I quickly turned my head to avoid his lips contact with mine "Don't! You'll get sick too!" I warned as he rested his forehead against mine with a confused look on his face.

After my explanation, I looked into his eyes and saw a pained look flitting across them. I held onto his shoulders tightly for support as he began to kiss my along my neck and face with agonising slowness while his hands roamed freely.

I gasped as he began sucking on my ear lobe while his arms drew me nearer to his body. I could feel my blood racing in my veins and regrettably, my head pounding painfully. "Jazz…" I gasped as his one of his hands grabbed my butt, roughly pulling me even closer to him. I heard his groan of pleasure even as my head began to spin and continued its pounding. "Jazz…I think I'm going to faint" I whispered as my body's temperature rocketed up.

I caught the lust in his eyes being drowned out by worry as he picked my up in his strong arms protectively.

"My knight, without the shining armour" I laughed out weakly in an attempt to lighten his worried eyes. I caught a small smile flash across his lips as he carried me to the living room announcing, "Let's get you some meds."

I pouted at Jaspers back as he set me down on a sofa and walked towards a heavily hung over Rosalie. "Don't shout!" I head her protest as Jasper leant down to talk to her. She was sat on the other sofas, her elbows rested on her knees as her head rested in her hands. Wow she looks awful…I thought as I studied her bloodshot eyes now that she'd lowered her hands to talk to Jasper.

I hadn't noticed before, but Bella and Edward were in the corner of the kitchen. Are they asleep? I wondered. I narrowed my eyes as I studied them. Bella was perched up on the kitchen counter, her head resting on Edwards shoulder, while Edward stood between her legs with his arms wrapped her back and his head resting on her chest. Both of them seemed to have their eyes closed, looking like statues while the only movement was Jasper, looking as quietly as possible through the kitchen cupboards.

Minutes later, Jasper got back to my side holding two pills and a glass of water. I chucked the pills down my throat and washed them down with the water. I gratefully snuggled up to him as he sat beside me.

A pained whisper came from behind us, "I think I'm dying…" Jasper and I both chuckled as Emmett carefully lowered himself onto the sofa beside Rosalie, who was back in her original position with her head in her hands.

"Let me guess…you're never going to drink again?" I questioned Emmett mockingly.

"What…? No…I'll drink again…just not for a while" he responded with a disgusted look on his face.

"Hey…Wow…you guys look how I feel" Jacobs groggy voice washed over Emmett's groans. "I need to hit the road soon…got to get back to Billy and the Mrs-to-be" He smiled cheerfully at the end of his sentence.

"Jake?" We all heard Bella's faint voice as it travelled over the morbid silence in the room. He headed over to Bella and Edward in the kitchen to talk to them.

"Any one want a walk to the park today? The weather looks alright and it might clear out heads" Bella proposed a few minutes later.

I gave Jasper my best puppy dog eyes as he looked at me with his eyebrow raised, as if he was questioning my sanity. "I want to go for a walk Jazz…it might make me feel better…the fresh-ish air and all…" I bargained as I laced my hands with his.

He sighed, and then asked, "And what if you get sicker while we're out there?" I could hear the victory in his voice as he finished his question. Damn…he's got me there…

Hmmmm…I wonder if flattery will work…worth a shot I guess…"If I get sicker while we're out there…then you can carry me back here in your…sexy…strong...arms" I finished by running my hands slowly over his muscles while silently hoping that my pathetic negotiation would have worked.

I squealed in delight when I heard him mumble "Fine, on your head be it."

Jasper and I took the lead, walking hand in hand in front with the hung-over group tagging along behind us.

Rosalie POV.

My head span around uncontrollably, my body felt heavy like lead, my stomach was unsettled like I'd been on a rough boat ride. In short-I felt like death just warmed up. God I hate hangovers! I mentally slapped myself for getting so drunk last night.

During the time we were in the park, I kept getting random flashbacks of last night. The shots…the endless shots of vodka! Emmett…giggling…rolling on the floor covered in posted notes…Edward getting overprotective about Bella…Jacob stumbling into the furniture on the way to the bathroom…O My God…did I try to recite the alphabet backwards to prove that I was 'sober'? I decided to leave my train of thought once we started our way home.

Jacob left us just after leaving the park gates to head for home. We all hugged him in turn and invited him back when things were back to normal. Bella cried, and Edward comforted her as Jacob's shape got smaller in the distance.

As we continued on our way, I looked over to Alice, who had been uncommonly quiet all day. It was clear to everyone that she was really sick, but she was too stubborn to admit just how bad she was.

I 'casually' made my way over to Jasper and whispered, so that Alice wouldn't hear me, "I don't think that this walk was such a good idea for her Jasp…"

"I know…she wouldn't listen" he growled back at me under his breath.

Emmett's hand slipped into mine as I stepped away from Alice and Jasper. As we walked, we both looked at into each others eyes, but after a few seconds I realised that he'd turned it into a competition. Typical. I smirked back at him when he poked out his tongue at me in an attempt to make me laugh. We finally broke our staring competition when we hear Alice's shriek.

I looked over to Alice and Jasper. She was now up on Jaspers back and from the looks of it, Edward was the one who put her up there. "Alice, if you don't let Jasper carry you home…I'll…never go shopping with you again…or let you shop for me!!" Bella threatened from beside Edward.

"Bella…be reasonable here…" Alice pleaded with a horrified look on her face before she gave in. "Fine, I'll let my big, strong guy carry me home." I watched her tuck her head against his shoulder and wrap her arms securely around his neck.

Minutes later, we were back on our street. Why are there cops on our street…? I frowned, worried as we drew closer.

"What's up officer?" Emmett asked in his most casual tone as we congregated around him and the cop.

"I'm sorry sir, I can't disclose that information unless you live here" He returned before he shoved a sticky donut in his mouth. Edward explained that we lived there, and then he told us the reason that they were here.

Alice stirred awake while the guys shot a few questions to the cop. Bella and I explained the situation to the groggy Alice who demanded that we go up and see for our selves.

"Hey, what's the damage?" I asked a police woman who was stood outside our door. Was that donut cop telling the whole truth before? I wondered. The guy's words were confirmed when she gave us all a sympathetic smile and said, "Why don't you see for yourselves...just don't touch anything…evidence you know?"

We stepped into a bombsite. The furniture had been thrown around, our wide screen TV was smashed to pieces, the sofa's gutted, the kitchen cupboards hung loose, the tap was in bits and from the looks of it, it had been doing a good job at drowning our place before someone shut off the water.

I grasped tightly to Emmett's arm as we passed the living room, which was in tatters and headed towards my bedroom. Please not my pictures…or my clothes…or my shoes…I chanted in my mind as we drew closer to the door.

We both gasped in unison as we saw the number 1 written on my door in blood red paint. I looked at Alice's door to see that she had the number two written on hers, while Bella had number 3. Panic flooded through my system as my mind ran wild with the possibilities of what these numbers stood for.

I slowly opened my door, as I dreaded what I would see. My vision got blurry as I stepped inside so I quickly blinked the tears away before I slowly looked over every inch of my room.

Not as bad as I expected…I overlooked everything else as I first studied my wall that used to hold all of my pictures. I wiped a few more tears away as l looked at them all, on the floor, strewn about carelessly. Where my pictures used to be, there was now the word 'MEMORIES' written in the same sickening red paint as on the door.

I sighed a heartfelt sigh as Emmett wrapped me up safely in his arms. I now studied the rest of my room. My bed was in pieces, my clothes ripped and shredded over the floor, the light bulb on the ceiling was smashed, mixing in with all the other mess on the floor.

Emmett soon led me out of the room to sit on the steps outside the building where the rest of them were. Edward and Jasper explained that Alice and Bella's room was basically in the same shape as mine, but they didn't have any words painted on their walls.

As we all wallowed in misery, an important looking cop came over and introduced herself as the leader of our case. "I'm Julie, I just wanted to tell you that we have a hotel arranged for you a few miles away where we will be conducting interviews in regard to the incident today. Any and all information that you could give us would be greatly appreciated."

After her little speech, Edward untangled his grasp from Bella, and explained that we had a folder up stairs that held all of the letters that we had received over the last few weeks and Alice's notebook which recorded anything else. He headed up with the woman, but returned a few minutes later with a grave look on his face. All he said was a simple, "It's gone."

Bella POV.

I clung onto Edward as we made our way into our hotel. Edward explained that we wouldn't need six rooms, only three. "That's not a problem sir" and a few more minutes of alterations from the receptionist and we were then showed up to our rooms by, from what his name tag said, 'Stephen'.

The rooms were at the very top of the building, therefore the best. Without uttering a word, Edward led me to the bedroom and pulled me on to the bed beside him and held me tight to his chest. "They'll get whoever's doing this…and then when they do…you and me…we can go on our first proper date somewhere." He whispered in my ear in a hopeful tone as he rubbed my arm reassuringly.

My only answer I gave was a quick kiss to his hand before I returned to my silent sate of thinking about everything and then again, nothing.

"Bella…Bella, wake up love." Edward's voice pulled me out of my slumber as he shook me gently. I felt the mattress give as he jumped off, and then heard his footsteps as he ran to the door.

I sat myself up and then headed towards to door where Edward was talking to Julie lady from before. "So if you're ready?" She asked Edward before giving me a quick smile.

"Yeah…of course" he muttered as he nodded his head. "Bella, I have to go for my interview now, sooner we get it over and done with, the better right?" he told me as his hands gently ran over my face. I smiled the best I could at him before he leant down and kissed me tenderly. He then slid his lips from my mouth, across my cheek and to my ear where he whispered my three favourite words. "I love you"

He left me, staring at the TV screen, watching the colours and the shapes, listening to the sounds, but not hearing anything. I felt as if my mind was disjointed from normality as I sat here, seeing the most normal things in abstract.

After an unknown time, to me, Edward returned without a word, ushering me towards the door to Julie. I wondered what had happened as I headed to her, Why didn't he say anything? Julie answered my silent question that was on my face as she placed an arm over my shoulders and led me to a nondescript room a few doors down. "Sorry, you're not allowed to talk to each other until you've all been interviewed."

It took a painstaking hour, where we went over every little detail. Dates, times, names of people I'd met in the last six months, people that I worked with, basically anything and everything.

I left the room with Julie, knowing nothing more about what was going on than I knew when I entered the room.

I crawled into Edwards arms and tried my best to watch some movies with him while we also rambled on about how pointless half of the questions seemed to be. "She actually asked me if I suspected you, Emmett and Jasper! How stupid was that! Ohhh! And then she started going on about Jacob!" I muttered in disbelief as Edward played about with my hands.

"They have to ask these things love" Edward returned after he kissed me on my forehead.

That night, we were all congregated together and told that we could resume our normal, everyday activities of going to work as long as we came back here to stay. We would have security people come with us to work who would also do some questioning if they suspected anything odd. I felt some relief at the fact that we could carry on as normal, the idea of being cooped up in a hotel room with Edward 24/7 was tempting…but I supposed that it would get a little repetitive.
