I couldn't stop thinking about last night, my head was hurting and all I felt was like crying my eyes out. If Jasper hadn't been there, I could be...I quickly shook my head furiously.

Don't think like that, Jasper was there and he saved my life.

James wasn't even there to save me, he was off being blown by some random blond drunk chick who ended up crying herself to sleep when she realized what she had done and James just left after that drunk.

"Alice?" a silk voice called.

I looked up to see Jasper standing in the doorway, his eyes filled with worry and slight anger. I didn't blame him, I'm absolutely pissed right now. But the second I saw him, the tears fell and he rushed over to my side.

His arms wrapped around me and I sobbed into his chest, my tears drenching his nice shirt but he didn't care. "It's ok, I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you." for some reason those words gave me comfort because I trusted him and I knew that he would be there to save me if anyone tried to hurt me again.

The door closed quietly and I gripped onto Jasper's shirt, trying to calm myself so I could thank him for saving me.

"Thank you...Jasper." I breathed, wiping away my tears.

Jasper chuckled, "I only did what anyone would've done." he said.

My head shook and I looked up at his face, cupping his cheek that was horribly bruised. Aro had punched him really hard in the face, it was my fault.

I let more tears fall, "You got hurt because of me." I whispered as I gently massaged the wound area.

His blue eyes softened at my tears and he leaned closer, our lips just above each other when the door slammed open and James appeared there. Jasper flew back and stood up quickly, "I'll see you later." he choked out before running out of the room.

I was left there sitting on my bed as James walked over, looking at me and examining my injuries. My tears had ceased, "Did he hurt you?" he asked. I knew he was talking about Aro and I bit my lip tightly, "Not psychically." I whimpered. James leaned forward and kissed my forehead, shocking the hell out of me.

Never was James sweet like this.

My eyes widened and he pulled back, putting his forehead against mine. "I'm sorry I let Jane drag me away, I didn't realize that Aro would even think-" I cut him off, "It's fine. You couldn't have known, James." I said quickly.

He put a little purple bag on my lap, it was a gift bag.

"Jane and I wanted to get you a gift, but I have to go. I love you." he said, kissing my cheek quickly before running out of the room.

Once he left, I put my hand in the bag and pulled out a beautiful silver chain with a gold heart hanging from it. It said, I love you in script. I opened the heart and there laid a picture of James and another picture of me on the side, it was cute.

James could be sweet when he wanted to, maybe he had a change in heart and realized that he really did hurt me. One can only hope.

"Alice?" Edward called from the doorway.

I looked up and nodded for him to come in, he quickly sat on my bed and looked at me sadly. I have never seen him so distressed before and to speak the truth, it scared me a bit.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you...but I'm glad Jasper saved you and I owe him my life for that, maybe I should go with you to parties for now and make sure you're safe before leaving you there completely alone." he said, his eyes shining with tears.

I let my own tears fall and I threw my arms around his neck, sobbing loudly and crying like a child.

"I was so scared, Edward! So scared that he was going to kill me, I wanted to come home so badly and I was scared! I don't want to leave here, please don't make me." I pleaded, my tears falling down my flushed cheeks.

He held me and we cried together, soon growing sleepy. He laid back and I laid down on his chest, my eyes falling shut as a comfortable and familiar darkness overcame me once again.

I woke up alone in my bedroom with the blanket over me, I slowly sat up and got off the bed slowly. My head was pounding and I couldn't walk straight, but I tried and I finally made it to the door.

My clock said it was about 5 in the morning so I could walk to the deli or something, Billy should have opened the deli by now. He's such an early bird and always so hyper, it irked me but I was jealous of him.

I found my sandals and slid them on, walking down the hall and towards the stairs when I tripped. I let out a loud scream and tumbled the stairs, successfully bashing my head off the last step.

My vision became blurry and I reached out when I saw Edward running towards me, my tears dripping onto the stairs as the pain pulsed on the one spot on my head.

My last thought was,

Why do I always get hurt?

EPOV

When I heard Alice scream, I was out of my room in a flash and saw her at the bottom of the staircase knocked out. I quickly rushed down and checked her pulse, checking for any blood and saw that she merely had a bump on her head.

That must've hurt.

I lifted her up and carried her into the living, laying her on the couch gently. Alice is such a little danger magnet like Bella, but Bella attracted a lot more danger than just tripping down the stairs.

"Edward." Alice mumbled.

A sigh left me and I just sat down on the floor, playing with her hair when dad walked in. His eyes widened in alarm and went to say something when I shook my head, "She fell down the stairs and fainted. She'll be fine, she just has a minor bump on her head." I explained before he could attack me with questions.

He sighed, "She's been coming home with these bruises lately." he whispered.

So it wasn't only me who had noticed, my ears perked up at this sudden rush of information that appealed to my ears.

"You noticed?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yes. I didn't think you would because she hides it pretty well, but I would've thought you'd pick it up before I did and I was right." he said.

Anger boiled up inside me and I let out a low growl, "James." I snarled. Dad sighed, "Edward...it might not be him. We won't know until she tells us." he said.

I shook my head, "She won't ever tell us." I hissed.

Dad shrugged, "It's her choice." he simply said.

Does her own father have no worry for his own daughter? I've never been more disgusted in my whole life and I could feel it bubbly up in my stomach, I hate him so much and I couldn't just say I knew that James abused her.

It wasn't like that.

I looked down at her and sighed, she was so peaceful in her sleep and she never woke up screaming. Before she used to, but that was after mom died and even I had nightmares where I woke up crying.

"Why can't I be happy? It's like everything I do leads to sadness and whenever I close my eyes I see her, why can't I just blink without seeing her?"

Alice had once asked me after mother's death,, I didn't know what to say to her because never had she been so up front about things such as her feelings. Deep inside, I knew that somehow this was all my fault and I couldn't help, but shed a few tears just on that alone. Alice is my baby sister and I'm suppose to protect her, not let her get hurt by men.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead, falling asleep beside her on the floor.

This chapter is my shortest chapter yet and I didn't know what to do, I need you guys to help me with ideas because I'm kinda fading now. I may start another story just to let ideas flow into my head, but for now review.

Thank you.
