Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the characters. This is purely a work of fun I decided to create out of my love for Alice and Jasper.

Authors Notes: So I was truly pleased with how my last chapter went. I was happy to see so much positive feedback! =] I just want to say that I know I have a few spelling errors here and there, and I'm trying to fix that along with my story structure. I don't have a beta, and I don't really know if I want one. I find it so much easier to just be able to write it and post it instead of having someone process through it and correct everything. So I'll just be extra careful with everything. And I do love the constructive criticism! It's very helpful! So please continue. Everything you say and think helps me become a better writer, and makes my stories more enjoyable.

Thanks to:

Justanotherditzyredhead – hahaha, I loved the banter too! I want Jasper to have a frisky side to him, something that really only comes out with Alice. I'm super stoked that you like everything I've written and I hope you continue to review!

You'reTheMoon – I'm glad it made you smile! It made me smile too =]. And thanks for the tip! Much appreciated.

ladylovercsi08 – thanks for the compliment and helpful advise. I totally agree with what you said and I tried really hard to do that with this chapter. And yeah, right now Jasper an Alice are human, but Jasper does want to change – there's a part where I talk about how Esme is keeping him from doing it until after H.S. And Alice is oblivious to the vampire situation, for now.

Meralie – yeah I was itching to have that conversation between them, but I needed it to happen at the right time. As far as background info on Alice, bits and pieces will be said about it from here on out, but I want to leave it at what I have revealed. And Jasper's story will be explained in due time. =]

Shadowlove1901 – Well thank you so much! You brightened my day =]! I try really hard to make this story into something that I would want to read, which is why I guess I do a lot of detail in some areas. I'm glad you enjoy my story and I hope you continue to enjoy it.

I was walking out of last period to my car, attempting to not run to my yellow savior. Jasper and I had completed our lunch together with him talking about our future project and the prospect of where we would complete it. Much of the conversation had me with my face in my food trying to cover up the permanent red my face was. His compliment had taken me so off guard and I hadn't known how to reply back. They say silence is golden. Hopefully they're right.

Newton had been correct about the project too, our biology teacher making us perform it with a partner. Figures.

So the plan Jasper came up with was that he would come over later on that night after dinner and we would start a preparation of what we would do it on and how to go about completing it. Only problem was that my mother might be home, meaning there could be a chance encounter with the woman, meaning I would have a lot of explaining to unfortunately do when Jasper asks why my mother denied my existence. Perfect. Because every disowned child loves to talk about the reasons why their parents declare them dead.

I started the cars engine up, and sat for a moment contemplating the odds of getting him to back out of being my partner. Odds were he'd ignore my request. Which I would in turn be grateful for because you would have to be a fool to honestly not want to spend time with him, even if that meant explaining my loveless world.

On that note, I put my car into drive and headed back to my asylum.

Six o'clock rolled around and I was sprawled out on my floor in one of my yoga positions, me having already changed into a pair of black yoga pants and rust colored t-shirt. I was doing my breathing techniques to help calm my stress when the sound of my cell phone going off interrupted me.

"Yeeess?" I breathily called into the phone, cradling it between my shoulder and neck, attempting to continue the hypnotic trance I felt my body relax into.

"You sound like your doing something weird in there. And I don't know if I should be intrigued or worried…" He was being a smart ass, and I couldn't help but perk up at the sound of his overly husky voice.

"Can I help you Mr. Hale?" I wasn't going to let him know how orgasmic his voice sounded in my ear.

"You certainly could ma'am. I'd very much appreciate it if you let me inside this wonderful looking home of yours. It's getting kinda nasty out here and I don't want to wait in the rain." His southern accent was making me heat up. How he was able to turn it on and off, I'll most likely never know.

"One second," I leap up and run from my room to the front door to see Jasper standing there with a lazy smirk stretched across half his handsome face. I just rolled my eyes and stepped aside to let him in. "Follow me," I ordered, marching up the staircase and into my room, attempting to have him see as little of my house as possible.

"Nice ambiance. The lit candles might seem cliché to some, but I think it sets the mood pretty nicely." He lifted his eyebrows suggestively at me and shot me a crest white smile. His eyes reflected the light and caught my attention making my insides feel as fuzzy as a kitten. I wanted to purr like one too. He drew me in like a siren does a sailor; I was helpless to the music he called a voice.

I found my ability to control my legs after a moment and walked over to each lit candle and blew them all out, then proceeded to flick my light switch on. I stood over in the corner of my room by my door awkwardly. Jasper had taken the only seat in the room, my bed, which was big enough for the both of us to share, I just didn't know if I trusted myself.

His perceptive eyes were glittering, even with the candles gone. He knew how uncomfortable I was at the moment, and I wanted to kick myself for being so readable.

I moved over to my bed and awkwardly sat next to him. I quickly glanced out towards my window and flashes of the previous night danced across my eyes. To think that merely 24 hours ago, he was standing on the outside of my world, and now was sitting inside it.

I noticed him move out of my peripheral vision and for the first time noticed he had brought a bag with him which he was now taking a very expensive looking laptop out of.

"It was a gift from Carlisle, said it was top notch and should be helpful no matter what the project. Figured it'd be smart to bring it over to help with some research. I think we should do the human heart, you know? It know it's probably the easiest one, but I think we could really make it into something cool." Jasper's obvious interest in the subject made me smile. He' actually excited over this isn't he… I just nodded at everything he said, none of it completely reaching my ears. I could just ask questions later. "Great, the human heart it is then…" He was staring at me with this questionable face, like he was smiling about something he wanted to ask me.

"What's with that look?" I pouted and reflexively touched my hair to make sure it wasn't my appearance he was laughing at.

"You have this look sometimes… Like you're not all there… And your eyes get all cloudy and you get this smile across your face," he was smiling at me as he spoke, his eyes narrowing to emphasize what he was saying.

I gave a "hmph" in response, a very illogical sound that came out of my mouth faster than I could have stopped it. I probably looked like a fool, but he was figuring my brain out faster than I would have liked. "I do not..." I muttered.

He just let out a deep breathy laugh and leaned back onto his elbows scanning me. I was feeling very self-conscious with the constant analyzing he seemed fond of doing. "Stop staring at me… It's weird…." My remark drew a sigh from him this time, drawing my eyes up to his face, my pout still in place.

"I'm not staring Alice. I'm just looking at you. You can be so defensive over nothing. Look, when I find things I like, I look at them once in a while. It's not weird, I just like observing." He spoke lighter this time, like he was afraid he might scare me away. I just blankly stared off into the distance.

He sighed after not receiving an answer from me and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Maybe I should leave…" He began packing his unused laptop up and was standing up from my bed.

"My parent's divorced because of me. I saw my father cheating when I was twelve, and then they divorced. My mother blames me for it. Say's it's my fault and that someone like me didn't deserve to be loved because I ruined her happiness." I had huge tears suddenly making their way down my cheeks, my sudden confession confusing me. I was so afraid he would just get up and go and that I would fall again into depression. So I confessed my darkest secrets to him. The pain I felt when my mother stopped looking at me, the visions I had that caused my whole mess. It felt so liberating to openly talk about my emotions with another person. I had taught myself to hold back everything I felt. I wasn't a burden if I didn't show the pain. I felt the need to explain my imperfections, my hopeless thoughts, and my new feelings of freedom I wanted to attain.

Through some point, he had sat back down next to me. His eyes captured my own and swallowed everything I felt. He had listened intently through my whole confession and didn't try to interrupt nor comfort me in any way.

It was when I was completely finished speaking, tears still making a waterfall out of my cheeks, that he tore his gaze from mine. My nose was running and my body was shaking. I tried to catch his gaze again but he evaded me. My heart nearly gave out; feeling like it had just lost against an attack. It was like nothing even mattered, after all I had said. I was still alone.

And then I was being pulled into an embrace, my face hitting the hard surface that was Jasper's chest. His arms circled around me, their strength keeping me safe from my outside world. Lips decorated kisses to my forehead and temple and I finally just let myself feel love for the first time in over five years.

I wrapped his black shirt into my tight fists and pulled my chest flush against his body. I leaned my face up into his and bravely set my mouth to his jaw. The hard bone underneath his delicious skin was tense, but I didn't let it stop my own decoration of kisses to his neck and jaw line.

I was so over whelmed with pleasure that I barely noticed him laying both our bodies back onto my bed. We lay facing each other; our arms still entwined around each other's bodies. I allowed my lips to attach to his pulse, enjoying the beat of life I felt underneath the skin. Lazily, I dragged my arm up around his shoulder and ran my fingers through his blonde curls.

After kissing his pulse once more, I pulled away and attempted to get a clear view of his face. If ever there were a time for him to read my emotions, now would be it. The joy and comfort I felt was spreading through my chest like a fire, trapped between my ribs and consuming my heart.

When our eyes met, I let a smile dance for him. He appeared so concerned and had his fingers' wiping my cheeks dry, my over heated skin tingling from the added heat of his hand. "You might turn into something I can't live without…" He said the words like they frightened him. Was he scared of loving me or leaving me?

At that moment, I didn't want to care. I just wanted to relish in the idea of being next to him, utter bliss filling my soul like the stars do on a clear night.

For a long time in my life I didn't look to be consoled. I never sought out a protector nor a comfort. I simply had allowed myself to fall without having any arms to catch me. It was nice to be able to say I was strong enough to do it. It's even nicer to say I no longer have to do it.

I closed my eyes to Jasper's face and let myself become coaxed into sleep. I pressed my face into his neck and breathed him in. His chin rested atop my short hair and he had his fingers slowly caressing my back, his fingertips running underneath the hem of my shirt, the sensation driving chills through me.

He stayed with me the whole night, his body only managing to entangle more with mine. It was the first night I was able to return to the forest, the same sun caressing my skin and smile making it's way onto my face. It was the new sensation of lips against my pulse that allowed me to realize the unrecognizable presence beside me was human. And then there was nothing but the sensation of being complete.

Jasper PoV

I held the small body tight against me. Alice's light snoring soothed my ears and had me resting assured that she was peaceful.

Her story had shocked me beyond belief. The idea of what her mother had done to her made me feel enraged. I had never had such a deep desire to protect someone I barely knew before in my life.

Yet, saying I barely knew Alice wasn't exactly the truth. I knew more about her than anyone in the world knew about her at the moment. She was the most unselfish person I had ever encountered. She had dealt with so much, and yet she still desperately sought to please a person who pretended she didn't exist.

The mention of her visions had sparked an interest though. She was the only other person I knew other than myself who experienced supernatural abilities. Of course when I say person, I mean living. Edward and Bella were exceptions, their own abilities only actually making themselves known after the transformation.

My thoughts wandered as I held her. I thought about my own desire to change into a vampire and whether or not I would be able to let myself part with Alice when the time came. I griped her tighter to me, until her breath was hot against my skin.

I knew at that moment, with her lying helpless beneath my arms, that I could never be apart from her again. I will needed to figure something reasonable out by next year, because I know in my heart just how lonely for me forever would wind up being without her.

There was a lot I needed to wrap my head around, a lot of hard thinking. But at the moment, all I wanted to focus on was the one certainty I had: the dream lying beside me.

I hope this was good… I spent a few hours on it, and I know it's not as along as the last chapter, but I think I had a lot of stuff happening in this chapter and I didn't want to drag it on too long. So please review and let me know what you thought!! =]. Love to all.
