It was the day of the dance and Alice had her dress on. She was wearing a long dress that she had had to buy in the petite section AND have fitted so it didn't trail ridiculously behind her like a 5 year old dressing up and putting a quilt round her as a dress. It was beautiful and it made Alice feel like a princess (picture on profile). She's never been to a formal dance before, her dad had never let her go to any of the parties he organised or attended. He'd told her that once she was 16 she was allowed to go. Only one more year left, she'd been having the same dress fitted and changed to go with the styles every year since he'd told her that.

She was picked up by James who commented on her dress. He took her in his car to the school, the dance was being held in the hall. The gym was horrible and sweaty and would have been too small. The room which held the drinks was nearly as large as the gym anyway.

"I'll get some drinks."

"O.K"

James went into the other room to get some drinks and Alice went to the middle of the floor to say hi to her friends.

"Rosalie!"

"Hey Ali!"

Rosalie went over and gave Alice a quick hug before returning to dance with Emmett, who winked over Rosalie's head.

Alice went to speak to Jessica who was dancing with Mike.

"Jess! I didn't know you were going with Mike. You kept that quiet!"

Jessica blushed and looked up at Mike.

"Mike, can you get me a drink please?"

He nodded and left, Jessica sighed and looked back at Alice.

"I asked him as soon as I found out there was going to be a dance. No one asked me who I was going with, so I didn't tell anyone. That's it really. Plus, everyone thinks Mike is a creep, I like him though."

"Good for you Jess! I came with James."

"Oh I know, the whole school was talking about you. Wondering why you weren't going with Jasper."

James returned with two plastic cups which had a blue liquid inside. Alice would have rather not known what was inside and so didn't drink any. She went to get herself a drink and left James standing in the middle of a group of people he didn't know.

Along the drinks table there were many different colours, she asked Mrs Monday what each flavour was and she found that she was safest sticking with blue. She went back to the hall and started to dance with her friends and James.

After an hour and a half the slow dances came on. Everyone grabbed their partners and Alice and James were right in the middle of the floor.

"You know, you should have said yes when Jasper asked you."

"What?"

"He's changing. He really likes you, he's not gone out with a girl since you rejected him."

Alice looked around the hall to see him slow dancing with Lauren, the same girl again. He wasn't paying attention to Lauren, he was staring right at the space she was in. She wondered how he could see her, she was so small, expecially with Rosalie and Emmett in the way. But somehow he managed it.

"He's with Lauren right now. He can't be that distraught."

"Yeah, but normally Jasper would have got a different date. Lauren's been his only date since the party, she'd think they're serious, except that he's still miserable."

Jasper was miserable. He could just make out the outline of Alice's spiky hairdo in the flashing lights, she was good at slow dancing, how she managed in that long dress he didn't know. It must have kept getting in the way of her feet, it should have done anyway. It must have been a girl thing. None of the girls except the extra clumsy ones fell over their dress.

Alice continued to watch Jasper and Lauren dancing and he turned his attention to his date. Lauren looked up, kissed him and then lent her head on his chest while dancing. It didn't look very comfortable. Especially when you're trying to dance.

"I'm sorry James, but I'm not in the mood to dance, I'm going home."

"O.K. I'll get my coat."

"No, it's fine. Look, Victoria is over there, I know she was going to ask you before I decided to ask you."

Alice left the hall and James went to ask Victoria to dance. He found she was a lot easier to talk to since she was taller, eye contact was a lot easier. Alice was still nice though and it seemed, a better slow dancer. Victoria was better at the fast dances.

Alice walked out of the school in her dress and walked around randomly. She had no idea where she was going, her house was quite a while away and in the dark, she couldn't tell if she'd even gone down the right turning.

In the end she knew she was lost, but couldn't be bothered to turn around and go back the way she came, she wasn't even sure which way that was. She heard lot's of cars driving down the road next to her but she was busy thinking about why she felt like this.

Jasper. She liked him enough to care that Lauren had kissed him, and he hadn't resisted. She knew she felt like this, but she hadn't let herself feel like this. Mainly because she knew that his behaviour towards girls would lead her to feeling like this, completely miserable.

If he liked her so much, why hadn't he bothered more? He moped around for ages and then asked her out again once more. It wasn't like he'd really tried. Then she realised that it was the feeling of rejection. It hurt, and she wouldn't have allowed herself to go out with him. It was her fault that he hadn't asked her more. She felt like whacking herself round the head with her shoe, but she was worried that she might get dirt on her forehead and glass in her foot.

She heard a motorbike stop behind her and a large person get off. There was no reason to stop all the way out here, there was a strange person stopping in the middle of nowhere.

Uh Oh.

She thought about running, but she wasn't very fast, she could scream however, and the punches her brother had taught her to do were enough to knock someone out.
The person grabbed her arm and she carried out her plan. She screamed, turned round, jumped and punched the man in the eye, but it wasn't enough, she went to punch them again this time in the stomach, it was easier to reach.

"Arghhhhhhhhh! Alice stop!"

She didn't listen and was pushed to the ground, how did this creep know her name?

She looked up to take in her kidnapper and saw a man in a tuxedo. He prefered to kidnapp young girls formally did he? The man crouched down on the ground and spoke again.

"Alice, god, you punch like your brother. Ow."

The accent. It was beautiful, a beautiful southern accent. Southern american anyway. Jasper.

"Jasper! Oh my god! I'm sorry, I thought you were some kind of weirdo."

She jumped up and brushed the dirt of the back of her dress, it was going to leave a permanant mark. She offered her hand, she giggled. Their roles had switched. He was the one on the ground and she was the one offering the help.

"Something funny?"

He took her hand and she pulled him up.

"Yeah, usually it's me that gets knocked over."

"You did. You just were quicker than me to get up."

Alice looked at him and smiled. But what was he doing here? He was supposed to be at the dance with Lauren.

"Why are you here? What about Lauren? Whe -"

Jasper cut her off, he knew all the answers to her question, he didn't need time to think about it.

"You seem to be lost, James told me you'd left without him and so I went round to find you. I left Lauren with Tyler. I wanted to help you."

He bowed and then went to stand beside his motorbike.

"Would you like a ride home, little lady?"

She smiled and nodded, there was no other way to get home and she was happy to see him. Very happy, perhaps her visions would come true after all. She had started to give up on them.
Jasper picked her up and put her on the bike. She was worried about her dress getting caught up so she hitched it up to her knee's. Jasper handed her a helmet, which she put on reluctantly, who wants helmet hair? She wrapped her arms around his waist and they rode to her house.

"Thanks Jasper."

He bowed his head and stayed where he was. Alice turned around and saw her parents standing there smiling with a cd player in her mothers hand. She turned it on and it played Amy Grant's- That's What Love Is For. It was an old song but it was one of Alice's favourites.

Alice's mum put down the cd player in the chair and they walked into the house, Alice turned back to face Jasper.

"What's going on?"

He walked towards her and grabbed her hands.

"I called your house and asked your mum to do this, when I saw you go round the corner, I stopped the bike and rung your house, then I went to get you."

"Oh, thank you. How's your eye?"

"It hurts, and I'll have a giant bruise, but for now, would you like to dance?"

"I'd love to."

When I wrote this, I had no idea if it was long enough, because it was in my notebook. I can't seem to write them longer than 1,700 words. ARGH! LOL. This is the first time lol. 1,853 words. Woop woop! I'm going to aim for 2,000 next time.
Please please please review..x
