It has been about a month since I arrived in Auschwitz. Emmett had told me that he was starting to fall for Rosalie. I was happy for him, but I wish I could be with someone I could actually get to know. I'm talking about Jasper. I was begining to fall for him. But we are two worlds apart since Maria has a grip on him, I suppose you could say, so I have no chance. Sitting in the kitchen on June 12, 1945, I was talking to Rosalie about my love for her brother.
"Do you really think you're in love with him?" Rosalie asked.
"I know I am, ever since I first saw him I knew we were going to be together", I admited. Rosalie smiled.
"I know how you feel. Can I tell you something?"
"Of course"
"I think I'm in love with your brother" I smiled this time.
"That's good, because I happen to know that he feels the same way", This all made our day better. When Rosalie and I finished talking, she worked on the soup while I went to find some yeast for the bread. I wasn't watching where I was going until I walked into something hard. It was Jasper.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there", I explained.
"No, it's fine, I was paying attention", Jasper's voice sounded calm and relaxed. I hadn't realized I was still extremly close to him. I was about to say sorry again when he took my arm and we ran to my shed. I shut the door and he pressed me to the wall, kissing me. I was lost in his soft lips when I realized that I was actually kissing Jasper. The same Jasper that helped me my first night here, talks to me at night, and the same Jasper that I thought I could never be with. We stood their together for a while until I realized what I really went outside for in the first place. Jasper and I went seperate directions and I came back to the kitchen with a bag of yeast, and a smile on my face.
"That took you a while to get one bag of yeast. Unless, you were doing something else", A smile came across Rosalie's face, as did mine.
"What's going on?" Emmett wondered. Rosalie and I laughed. Rosalie, Emmett, and I went for a walk outside when we were done cooking. We walked to where the third barracks were and back. But on the way back, I saw something that horrified me. Maria was hitting my cousin Aaron with her whip. I tried to hold back my screams. She stopped after about the fifteenth time that she hit him and just walked away.
"Aaron!" I exclaimed. He was barely moving. I could have sworn he was dead.
"Alice, please, help me", He whispered very weakly. Emmett and I brought him to Avi and Amir so the two
of them could help Aaron. Eventually, Aaron was able to get back to work. I was very thankful that he hadn't died. I
wouldn't be able to deal with another death in the family. I was also thankful that Elizabeth was alright. Sometimes,
when I finished my work in the kitchen, I would help Elizabeth with whatever job she had to do at the moment. That
night I helped her move rocks.
"Thank you for helping Aaron, Alice. Without you and Emmett there, he surely would have died", Elizabeth told me.
"You're welcome, Elizabeth", I said. Another month had passed when I realized that mine and Jasper's
newly-found relationship was growing stronger by the day. Jasper had always made sure that I was healthy,
especially since the Nazi's don't care about our health. Only if it effects our work ethic. He's been helping
Emmett as well. I hope that we don't look suspicious to Maria because our clothes aren't as dirty and we ourselves
aren't as dirty as the other prisoners. I've seen a lot of people dying and being worked or whipped to death in
the past two months that I've been here. I'm glad to know that I haven't experienced death myself. I hope and pray
every night for us to be liberated soon. Aunt Joselle told me before she died that camps were being liberated before
they came to the camp, but since it has been two months since then, I fear for my life and the life of everyone else
in the camp. I've heard parts of conversations between Emmett and Rosalie. They are already talking about getting
married after we are liberated. I hope I live to see that happen, and I hope both Emmett and Rosalie live to let it
happen. My love for Jasper has grown stronger, and I have a feeling that his love for me has grown stronger as well.
I've thought about it for a while since I heard Emmett and Rosalie talking about it, and I want to marry Jasper
someday. I just hope that he feels the same way.

I am absolutely in love with Rosalie. I know almost everything there is to know about her, as well as she knows
just about everything about me. We're the same age and have a lot in common. When we finally leave this hell,
we plan on getting married and moving to Vienna. I can tell that Alice is in love with Jasper. I don't blame her,
he's a pretty cool guy, but I worry about her sometimes. What I mean is that she can get carried away and sometimes
push a relationship too far. She's done it so many times before, she's like a broken record now. I just hope that she
knows what she is doing and does the right thing at the right time.

It is now about a week into August, Friday the 5th, 1945. I've heard more about being liberated from new-comers,
and some from Jasper. Jasper told me that the Americans are getting closer and closer to Auschwitz now. Once
I am liberated, I want to move to Paris and get away from the memories. Even though I've lived in Holand my whole
life, I feel as if it would be too hard to go back to the place of my old life. Altough Auschwitz is in Poland, I was
taken from my own home to Auschwitz. So it would be better for me to move as far away as possible.
