DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY TWILIGHT

Chapter 2- This is what happens

Jasper's POV

We sat in her living room for a while and caught up on what had happened. I explained to her that I didn't know what had become of Edward. It didn't seem to bother her too much.

She fidgeted in her seat, I could feel the anxious waves coming from her. I sent some calm to her and she smiled and took a deep breath, "You haven't talked about Alice… how is she?"

I grimaced at the memory, "Bella… I don't know how to put this in any better way… When we left Victoria followed us thinking that you would be with us. Alice hadn't seen anything since we left Forks. She went hunting and a little after Emmett and I followed. When I heard Alice scream, her fear was so strong…" I took a deep shaky breath, my dead heart was breaking all over again. I couldn't look at Bella.

When I felt a warm little hand on mine, I looked up to see Bella with tears streaming down her cheeks. She was radiating sadness, sympathy, and compassion. With a quick nod of her head, motioning to me that it was okay to continue, I did. "Emmett and I ran as fast as we could to the clearing where Victoria had Alice in her grip. She killed Alice, Bella… Alice is gone… I watched her die in front of me." Venom tears filled my eyes as the image replayed in my mind. The image I've been fighting so hard to keep away. The image that has haunted me everyday up until this point.

She scotched closer and hugged me as tight as she could. She smelt so good, I swallowed the vemon that pooled in my mouth and hugged her back, she was sobbing softly. I rubbed gentle circles on her

back and sent her waves of calm.

Slowly she stopped crying. She looked up at me and smiled slightly, "Thank you for coming back for me… will you be leaving soon?"

I thought for a second. Her feelings turned to sorrow, like when I first arrived. I sighed and shrugged, "I really don't have anywhere to go. So no."

She sighed relieved.

I raised my eyebrows and smirked, "What? You think I would come all the way out here alone to see you then to just turn around and go back?"

She smiled and stuck her tongue out at me, "Well I don't know!"

I chuckled, She has changed since we left…

She yawned, I mentally kicked myself and remembered that she needed to sleep. "C'mon Isabella, you need to get to sleep."

She shook her head immediately, "No, I haven't been able to sleep since you guys left…"

"Why is that?" I brushed a stray hair behind her ear, I felt her heartbeat quicken and feelings change to love and embarressment.

"The nightmares…" she whispered.

Now I felt like a total dick. I sighed and stood up, grabbing her hand and pulling her with me. "I'll stay with you and help you sleep, okay?"

She smiled, "Really?"

"I promise." I held my hand up.

She giggled, "Okay."

We made our way up to her room, I made myself comfortable at her desk. Glancing around and smiled when she had a picture of herself and a little boy when she was little. Then I remembered about Charlie's Cruiser, I'll ask her in the morning.

Bella settled down in her bed and sighed. I started sending her calming waves.

"You sure you don't mind doing this?" her voice sounded groggy, like she was fighting herself to stay awake.

I chuckled, "Bella, when I make a promise, I never break it. Whether you like it our not."

She giggled quietly, "Thank you for coming back… now I'm not… alone…" and with that she was deep asleep.

...Alone?...
