Alice's POV

After five minutes I got a text message from Jasper.

Sorry, had to drive her home. Meet me in the parking lot in ten? Jazz x

I smiled. I knew she would've tried to crack onto him in the car. She's such a fool. I hope that the next time she straightens her hair, the heat will generate her brain, and she'll finally see that he's just not into her.

I grabbed my thing and headed into the parking lot, pulling out my umbrella. It was a typical day in Forks. The sky was grey, and there was a slight drizzle pattering lightly on the top of my umbrella.

Pulling my hair into a loose bun, I waited for Jasper to take me home. It was only about two minutes after I replied to his text when a familiar car pulled into the empty parking lot.
It was Jasper's shiny black truck. He got it a few months ago for his birthday, and since then he had been picking me up in the mornings, and dropping me home in the afternoons. His parents were good friends with my aunt and uncle, so they didn't mind me going over after school.

I ran up to it, stopping only a few metres away from the truck, and he greeted me the same way he did every morning.

"Hello there, ma'am. I believe you would like a lift?" He asked, his Texan accent slipping in.

"Yes thankyou, good sir. But however shall I repay you?" I replied, in a slight British accent.

"Well, ma'am, we'll just have to figure that out a little later," he suggested with a playful wink.

He opened the passenger door to his truck, and helped me in. I sat in the warmth, playing with my nails, when I heard Jasper slide into the driver's seat beside me. I still didn't see why he and Rose had to go to Texas. Carlisle and Esme would have kindly taken them in.

"Jasper..." I started.

"Yes, darlin'?" he asked.

"Why do you and Rose have to go to Texas? Why can't you just stay here with us?" I asked, trying to keep my voice from wavering.

"We've been through this before Alice. I have to go to help my uncle. He's really sick, and if he dies, then he won't die lonely. I want to be there just incase," he explained to me for what seemed like the thousandth time.

I knew that he didn't want to leave me behind, but sometimes it felt like he wanted to leave, just because I wouldn't be going aswell.

"Okay, well, have fun. I'm not coming to school for the rest of the week," I told him, looking at my nails again. They were very pretty, might I add.

"And why not? Don't you want to see me before I leave Ali?" he asked, pain clear in his voice.

"What?! Of course I do. You're my best friend, Jazz. It's just I got some time off since I need to have a new design by Saturday, and if I don't they'll fire me," I explained. Stupid work. I won't get to see Jasper for quite a while.

"Oh, well just incase I don't see you before I leave I want you to know that I lov-" he was cut off by my phone.

"Excuse me a second," I said before I answered the phone.

Jasper's POV

Gah! Every time I go to tell her I love her and something interrupts me! I'll never get to tell her before I leave. I refuse to text her and say it, and I will not get someone to do it for me. This is just so irritating!

I barely heard her mumbling things into the reciever, and all I wanted to do was shut the phone, and tell her how I feel. I was going to kill whoever was on the other end.

"Bye, Rose, I'll see you later," Alice said, as I came back into reality. Rose? I was going to kill her. Not literally, but if I could, I would.

"Sorry about that Jasper what were you saying?" she asked, as if I wasn't about to tell her how much I wanted to be with her.

"I was just about to tell you that I lo-" cut off again, this time by my phone.

"Hello?" I answered angrily.

"Well hello to you too, dearest brother of mine," I heard Rosalie sing on the other end.

"What do you want Rose?" I practically snarled.

"I was just wondering if you had told Alice that you love her yet?" she made the statement into a question.

"No, I was just about to, but you rang!" I tried to say calmly, but still it came out harsher then I intended.

"Oh, well I'll leave you to it then, Jazz," I could almost see her smirking at that.

"Do not ever call me that again," I hissed, my voice full of venom.

"Why not? Alice does," she pointed out.

"Alice gets to because she's Alice. She doesn't do it to piss me off. It's her nickname for me," I whispered dangerously into the reciever, low enough that Alice wouldn't hear.

"Aw, Jazzy loves Alice!" she squealed, just to annoy me again.

"Goodbye Rose, I'll see you when I get home," I said a little more calmly, and slightly louder, before pulling up into Alice's driveway and snapping my phone shut.

I got out, and opened Alice's door, helping her get out of my truck. I was just about to tell her how much I love her, when she smiled. No, she shot me a heart-stopping, award wining smile.

"Thanks Jazz. I might see you tomorrow?" she asked, her eyes loosing some of their sparkle.

"Sure, do you want me to come up after school?" I wondered, giving her the option.

"Yes! Call me when you're on your way."

"Alright darlin', see you tomorrow," I smiled, hugging her tiny figure.

"See you, Jazz," she said, kissing my cheek.

I stood there shocked. It was the best feeling ever. It made my cheek burn from where she pressed her lips, but in a good way. I wish she'd do that more often.

Alice's POV

Before I shut the door, I gave Jasper a small wave. After I kissed his cheek, my lips began to burn. But not in a bad way. It was like putting a heat pack on a strained muscle. It was really burning you, but it was good for you.

"Ooooo! Alice is in LOVE!" Emmett boomed from the living room. Darn it, he saw me kiss Jasper. Well, it's not like I slipped in the tongue, right?

"SHUT UP EMMETT, HE CAN STILL HEAR YOU, YOU IDIOT!" I yelled from the front door.

Oh, dear. If he could hear Emmett then he would have most definately heard me. Well, that's really going to help our non-existant relationship now, I thought bitterly.

Jasper's POV

I was just about to walk to my truck when I heard Emmett's booming voice from inside.

"Ooooo! Alice is in LOVE!" I chuckled. He must've seen her peck my cheek.

"SHUT UP EMMETT, HE CAN STILL HEAR YOU, YOU IDIOT!" I heard Alice yell back.

I couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't just a small chuckle, but it was a round of hysterics that I couldn't hold back.

I covered my mouth with both of my hands, trying to stop, but I just couldn't. She sounded so defensive. She couldn't love me, could she? It just wouldn't make sense. She was so innocent, and so pure.
I was covered in scars from all the fights in the past two years. One of the guys from the gang in Forks started on me, and I got stabbed in the arm. I of course won the fight, but ever since then the gang has been trying to kill me. Literally.

I drove to Port Angeles from Forks, and spent a few hours there. I went shopping for a present for Alice. I knew it was pretty stupid, but I wanted to give her something to remember me by, since I might never come back to Forks after I leave for Texas.
It took me a good three hours before I came across a small jewelry store. I found the perfect necklace. It was a slim white gold chain, with a small heart-shaped locket, with the words "I love you" carved on the inside of the heart and on the otherside was a small space for a picture.

I drove around a little more, not wanting to go home. Tomorrow I would take Alice and we would take some pictures. I wanted to bring a part of her with me when I left, and pictures would be my best bet.
It was almost 10:30 when I decided I didn't want to drive any further, so I headed back to Forks, trying to remember which turns I had taken to get to the middle of nowhere.
When I finally got home it was five minutes to midnight. My folks are definately going to kill me. I wish I could stay somewhere else for tonight, but everyone would be asleep by now.

I slipped Alice's present into my school bag, and walked up to the front door. I was just about to reach for the handle and put my key in, when it swung open. Standing in the doorway was Rosalie. Oh dear Lord, I'm going to die.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" she all but screeched at me.

"I was out..." I avoided her question, heading up to my room.

"Out where?" she asked suspiciously. "You weren't at Alice's were you?"

"No, Rose. I wasn't at Alice's. I was out in Port Angeles buying her a gift. Then I bought something and just drove around. I don't even know where I drove to, but I needed to clear my mind a bit," I explained guardedly, unsure of what her reaction would be.

"Oh, show me what you go her," she demanded, a smile tugging on her lips.

"Maybe in the morning, I'm really tired Rose." That was the lamest excuse I have ever come up with, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get away from the mischeif dancing in her sleepy eyes.

"Whatever, goodnight Jasper," she mumbled, fatigue obviously dragging her under.

"'Night Rose. Sweet dreams," I said as I steered her to her room, and pulling the covers over her. She grunted in response, and rolled over, with her eyes closed.

Well, I avoided it for tonight. I was dreading tomorrow. Rose would be asking me 101 questions about Alice's present, and I wouldn't be able to dodge them since Alice wasn't there.
