Another month has gone by. It is now June 20, 1945. I suppose now is a good time as any to tell Jasper that I really am in love with him. I walked across from the kitchen towards my shed where he asked to meet me. I slowly opened the door, hoping he would already be there.
"Jasper?" I said quietly.
"Alice, come in", I didn't see him, but I felt Jasper grab my arm and pull me in before closing the door. I bumped into his chest, looking up at his eyes. I looked at him for a few minutes before I realized that I needed to tell him what I had been strugling to say since I came here.
"Jasper, I need to tell you something important", I finally said.
"What is it, Alice?" He asked.
"I've loved you since I came here, I can't stay away from you. I need you, Jasper. I need to be with you",
I tried not to sound so pleading, but I did, and for a moment I regretted ever bringing it up. Jasper had a
confused look on his face. He didn't seem mad, that was a good thing, but I hoped that I hadn't gone too far.
"Alice, I love you too. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a reason to go on with Maria in this place. I need to ask you something", Now I was confused, but willing to listen.
"Yes?" I asked.
"When we get out of here, I need to know, will you marry me?" I was about to cry when I realized that Jasper was waiting for my response.
"Oh Jasper, yes, of course I'll marry you!" I exclaimed, jumping into his arms and kissing him to know end. Jasper left the shed before I did so it didn't look too suspicous. As I walked back to the kitchen, Rosalie came out the door and ran towards me.
"Alice!" She yelled. When she got close to me, she couldn't hold in her excitment.
"Emmett asked me to marry him and I said yes!"
"Rosalie, that's great!" We hugged tightly for a while until I heard the triggers of guns clicking. The two of us turned around to see the guards in the watchtower staring down at us, pointing their guns in our direction. We walked to the kitchen together to talk.
"Rosalie, Jasper asked me too", I said while closing the door.
"Really? I can't believe this!" She exclaimed. We hugged again before having to get back to cooking. By dinner time, Rosalie and I only had 10 minutes to give everyone in the camp food. I went as fast as my small body would allow me as Maria counted down the minutes behind me. I was almost finished when I heard Maria say,
"You're not going fast enough!" The next thing I knew, she hit me in the back with her whip, close to where she hit me a few months ago. I screamed in pain, slowly sinking to the ground. Maria hit me a second time when I blacked out. I wasn't sure how long I had been out for, but I soon awoke to see Avi by my side, preparing some kind of tool. I opened my eyes a little more to look on the other side of me, only to see Jasper.
"Alice", Jasper said when he saw my eyes open.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded when I felt a sudden stinging in my back. I yelled out, noticing that Avi had turned his attention towards me. Trying to be gentle, Avi turned me over so he could examine my back. It took maybe two hours for him to disinfect my back and to stitch it up, but I felt comfortable because Jasper held my hand the whole time.
"Thank you, Avi", I said when he was finished with my back. I noticed that Avi doesn't talk much. He mostly just nods.
"I'm sorry that happened to you", Was the first thing Jasper said when Avi left.
"It's fine, you couldn't have controlled it", I reasured him.
"I love you, Alice"
"I love you, Jasper", His warm lips against mine made me feel happy again. I slowly walked back to the kitchen because if I went any faster, my back would hurt worse. I opened the door to see Emmett and Rosalie kissing by the counter. They didn't see me at first, so I pretended to clear my throat. They stopped and turned around to see me by the door.
"Oh, sorry Alice", Rosalie said, turning red from embarasment. I just shook my head, laughing. While I was making soup, Emmett and I struck up a conversation.
"Does your back still sting?" He asked.
"A little", I wasn't sure what else to say, so it was silent for a few minutes.
"As long as you're not bleeding to death", I looked up at him when he said that, but he just kept his head down while cutting bread. That night after eating, I went to my shed with Jasper by my side. We opened the door after looking around to make sure no one was watching. We sat down on some straw that was on the ground.
"Alice, I have more news about the liberation", Was the first thing he said. My eyes seemed to light up as I looked up at him.
"The Americans are almost here", I felt like jumping around, but I didn't want to look like a fool.
"I can't believe it. We're going to be out of here soon!" I kept my voice down a little so no one heard me. I slept with a smile on my face that night, dreaming of what life would be like when I finally got out of here and started a new life with Jasper.

August 3, 1945. I've been here for three months now. I may not have parents anymore, but I have hope that Alice and I will make it to the end. Alice has told me that the Americans are getting closer to the camp. I can't wait to finally get out of here and marry the love of my life, Rosalie Hale. I also can't wait to see Alice get married to Jasper. The other day, I was extremly close to having to work in the gas chambers, but luckily they changed their minds. I don't know what made them change their minds, but it was probably because the work in the kitchen is a lot more productive since there's three people working their now instead of just one. I pray every night that the liberation will come soon.

It's now August 6, 1945. I have more hope than ever that the liberation will come soon. Maria has been very nervous lately for some odd reason. She's also been more brutal. What I mean by this is that everyday, she's beaten people to death or just sends them to the gas chambers for no reason. Just the fact that they're in front of her. Just yesterday, I thought she was going to do something to Emmett because during roll call, she stopped in front of him when she was walking around. For what seemed like an eternity, she stared at him without saying anything. Emmett tried to make it seem like he wasn't nervous, but I knew he was. I watched as Jasper looked at them from the corner of his eye. After a while, Maria walked off again. She passed by me and gave me an evil look. I shivered from her stare, but stayed in my place.
Today, I looked at Jasper, noticing that the scar on his face was healing fast. It no longer had stitches and it made me happy to see him looking like his old self again. Roll call was early this morning. I watched as Maria went up and down the rows again, not stopping to look at Emmett or myself. Instead, when she passed by Jasper, she looked at him for a moment before going on. I guessed they had gotten into a fight the night before.
