I'd been sitting on the bed, waiting patiently for Jasper to finish his shower, still embarrassed at myself from earlier, when I'd gotten another vision. Edward and Emmett were dashing through the trees, racing. Emmett was trying desperately to get ahead of the bronze haired young man, a smile brainlessly smeared across his face.

"So smug…" I whispered to myself.

They came to a clearing and towards a house. My eyes shot open. Jasper was sitting at the edge of the bed, eyeing me with a worried expression. "I can see their house…" I mumbled trying to refocus on the vision. I felt him move from the bed, "Can you draw it?"

I grabbed the tools from his hand. I focused intently on every detail of the building, hoping that I'd be able to get it right. I looked down at the paper. "Yes…this is it."

It was a mirror image of the house from my vision, a large two story building with one wall of glass. French doors at the front with a cobblestone driveway that led out to a trail. Perfect.

"That's great" Jasper offered when he saw me frown. "Well, no matter if I can see their house, I still have no clue as to which part of the state it is in." I was racking my brain, willing another helpful vision to come. My frustration with myself, with Jasper, and now with the lack of information was piling up and threatening to spill. A sudden sensation of ease spread through my body. I felt happy though I definitely didn't wish to at the moment. "Are you doing that?" I asked, trying to sound intimidating, it sounded more like praise. He smiled at me, causing my breath to accelerate for a moment.

"Is it possible to resist it? Because I'm trying very hard right now to be angry with you." His smile turned to laughter. His laughter shook the bed slightly but that wasn't what I was focused on at that moment. The sound of his laugh was like a bell. Deep but light in a way. If I'd been able to blush I would have, how could I allow him to have such control over me? Easy, I love him. The less logical part of my mind gushed. I tried to look away from him but couldn't, everything about him was suddenly beautiful. His dark scarlet eyes, the curve of his lips, and his scars…everything was suddenly precious to me. Every blemish I cherished. Everything.

"No, I've never met anyone who could resist it." His statement rocked me from my fantasy. I sighed, trying desperately to be angry. "So can you make someone feel any way you want them to feel?" He looked at me for a moment before answering. "For the most part, yes; happiness, sadness, anger, fear, lust…" I twitched at the last emotion. "Love?" I prompted.

He sighed…out of sadness? "I can only induce emotions that I have experienced for myself…Tell me something," he said, his dark eyes suddenly twinkling with intuition. "What do you feel?" Jasper asked me, obviously eager for my answer. I felt myself stiffen with embarrassment. "You just took me by surprise, that's all," I defended.

"No, no, not that, I recognize that. There's something else. Something I don't recognize…" I knew immediately what he was referring to. I didn't like being in this position, having someone else hold me in their clutches, able to control everything I did and said. I was vulnerable. It was an uneasy feeling being a predator yet being so susceptible, exposed, a sitting duck. Would I admit it to him? Why would I hide it? There was no shame is what I felt, what was it that was keeping me from telling him I love him? It occurred to me then what I was afraid of. Rejection.

"Miss Alice, look at me please." Jasper placed his hand under my chin and tilted my head up until my eyes met his. The feel of his warm skin against mine made my stomach churn, in a sense. "Whatever it is that you feel for me, I feel the exact same for you…I just don't have a name for it." I wanted to roll my eyes but I couldn't, he was so close… Maybe he did feel the same for me…Maybe he did love me

My eyes widened as I stared into his gorgeous face. "I didn't know that you felt it already…I thought that it would take a while…" I whispered. I could tell he was confused. I contemplated explaining to him, I loved the expression he made when he was confused, so child-like, and so adorable. "Jasper…" I said smiling slightly. "It is love." I took his hands in mind and held them tightly, afraid he'd somehow vanish.

"I had another vision, on that I did not tell you about. I was afraid. Please understand, I did not know you then…" I swallowed, my throat burning with fear. I measured his expression. I was about to tell him…an infinitesimal amount of the sensation filled me but was quickly diluted by fear and apprehension. I remembered seeing it. It was the first time I'd felt the same burning passion that I'd felt just moments ago…lust. "It was us…we were in love."

"Us? In love?" His expression was unreadable.

"Yes, Jasper…I've been in love with you, even before I met you…" I whispered still afraid.

"Miss Alice…" he sighed, his expression softening slightly.

"Please, call me Alice."

"Alice…I do not love you." I stopped. Stopped everything. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak. My life seemed to stop and I couldn't function. My throat went dry and my stomach felt as if it were going to explode. I felt the reality of rejection rage through me, I'd been wrong… How had I been wrong? Maybe my vision wasn't right…maybe it was just what I wanted…not reality. The large lump in my throat swelled and I gasped. I couldn't possibly compare this pain with anything I'd ever felt before.

I do not love you. His words replayed in my mind until I had to close my eyes. I'd seen humans cry before and more than ever, I wished I could do the same. I had no release, no way of letting out the vast sea of rejection that was drowning my soul. I wanted a release so badly, so desperately it was pitiful. But the only release I could imagine was Jasper. Feeling his skin brush lightly across mine, his large arms wrap around me gently as if he were afraid I'd shatter at any given moment. That was all I wanted…all I needed…

"I so much more than love you, Alice. I passionately, fervently admire, adore and love you," Jasper said. I couldn't be sure if he'd said anything before that but I'd more than heard this. I'd felt it. The lump in my throat seemed to dissipate and I could breathe again, he was so close when I inhaled his scent wafted into my nostrils causing me to shudder slightly. His hands slowly rose to cup my cheeks. This was it…my vision. How silly of me to think I'd been wrong.

He leaned toward me slowly and I forced myself to move. My lips parted a millimeter and my eyes drifted shut, though not in anticipation of a kiss, no. I wanted to bask in this moment. In this moment of…perfection when Jasper and I were immaculately synchronized. Since our meeting we'd always been a little off beat, a little out of tune, as if I was an eighth note and he a sixteenth. I'd been trying to catch up and he'd been trying to slow down. So desperately we'd wanted to play together, to make a song that was ours and ours alone. And here it was. His lips pressed against mine and we were suddenly in perfect time with each other. He the harmony and I the melody, blending in a way I'd never anticipated.

I wasn't aware of my body's movements, only aware of our movements. The way his lips were molding impeccably to mine. I broke away and found myself on top of Jasper, my arms around his neck. Even though neither of us required oxygen our breaths were coming in quick sated gasps. I looked up at him, his deep eyes sparkling with ecstasy. "That was it…That was my vision." He ran his hand through my hair down my back.

The three of them, Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie were walking toward a brick building. They were attempting to steer clear of other students as they strolled gracefully past a brick sign that read Jackson High School.

"Jackson!" I exclaimed, excitement flooding through me. I sat up bouncing up and down in Jasper's lap. "Who is Jackson?" he asked, worry caking his face.

"That's where they go to school, Jackson High," I clarified, the smile still ever present on my face. "Edward, Emmett and Rosalie go to school there, that must mean they live nearby!" I jumped, full of giddiness. The night couldn't possibly get better.

"So we have our heading," he said grinning. Jasper stood and dashed to the hotel desk, retrieving a map of Alabama. I spotted Jackson on the map and squealed with glee. I couldn't hold back my happiness, I jumped into Jasper's arms, sending him toppling backward toward the floor. We clung to each other against the carpet as we replayed the night in our heads. Our night.
