I'm really sorry about how short this is, and how long it took to get it out. I just really wanted to update today, for some reason. I don't even have an excuse :D Don't be expecting many daily updates for a while, but I'll try my best :)
I own nothing. NOTHING.
Never Again, Chapter 20: One in, one out
I rolled over, and was shocked to find nothing but cold sheets. No Edward.
I stretched and adjusted my eyes to the light as I remembered the previous day's events.
No Edward.
No Edward.
No Edward.
I heard voices downstairs. I jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah, I understand. Edward needs you. It's gonna be a quiet day anyway. Don't worry, Em."
Jasper hung up the phone as he I skidded to a halt into the kitchen. He raised his eyebrows at my pyjama-clad form.
"Your alarm not go of?" He asked. I shook my head.
He glanced at his watch.
"Hurry up and get ready then, I can drop you in."
I shook my head again. "I'm not going today."
"Why not?"
I scrambled around in my head for a decent excuse.
"I'm sick."
"What's wrong?"
"Cramps."
"Nice try, take your meds."
Crap, I forgot about that. Damn Jasper and his law-abiding ways…
"I've run out."
"Eat a banana. I'll get you a repeat prescription today."
"That banana thing is a myth."
"You'll have to settle for asprin then."
Plan B.
"You don't know what it's like!" I screeched at him. "You're a BOY!!"
I stormed back upstairs and slammed my door. I could here the gossip spewing from Jessica never-get-fucked Stanley's mouth buzzing around Homeroom when I didn't turn up, but it didn't matter to me. Since when did I care what people thought? Never, that's when.
I just wanted Edward back.
I needed him back.
What was his problem anyway?
This sucks.
"Bella?" Jasper knocked on my door. "Come on, this is childish. Get ready and I'll take you to school."
"I'm not going." I told him again.
"Is this because of Edward? Emmett called. Bells, you're better than this. Go show those twats you don't need him."
I opened the door and stared at him.
"You don't get it do you?" I asked him incredulously. "I do need him. He's everything. He's like… my air supply, my food supply, my...my…my everything. "
It was quiet for a second. Then Jasper started laughing at me.
He stopped abruptly when he saw my expression. He straitened up and gave me his serious face. "Alright. You're definitely going tomorrow. I need your help today."
"Doing what?"
"You'll see," he told me vaguely as he walked down the hall to his room.

"This is stupid." I told him again as we turned into Alice's street.
"It's this or school," he said sternly. "And if you hadn't have pissed Edward off I'd be doing this with Emmett."
"I haven't done anything to piss him off! Why is everyone blaming me for this whole shitload? It's all his f**king fault!"
Jazz flinched back from me. "Okay, beginning to wish I had a brother." He muttered.
"I heard that."
He switched of the engine and grinned at me. "I said it loud."
I had to admit, if I was Alice, I wouldn't be complaining.
On the other hand, I was myself, so I would be complaining.
"She better freaking appreciate this," I said as I climbed the ladder. "Why aren't you up here anyway?"
"My irrational fear of heights," he called up to me. "Alice always says it's endearing. I need to direct you, anyway."
"Is there okay?"
"Can you get it a bit higher?"
"Nope." I said as I nailed it in. I swear I heard Jasper call me a bitch.
Yeah, I know. He's right.
I came down and we repeated the process on the other side of the house. Then I spent the next two hours hanging strings of fairy lights across Alice's house, and then we lit hundreds of candles all over the garden. I'd nailed it in exactly the right place so the words of the huge banner could be read clearly:
I'M SORRY. I LOVE YOU.
MARRY ME, ALICE BRANDON ;)
It was my idea to add the smiley.
"Thanks, Sis," Jazz smiled, sitting down on Alice's immaculate lawn next to me, handing me a can of cider.
"Anytime," I muttered, cracking it open and taking a swig. "What time's she getting here, anyway?"
"She finishes work at 3, so…"
"What the f**k?"
"…Now." He finished.
I really had to bite down hard in my lip to stop a great big 'awwwwww' coming out.
Jazz handed me his car keys as I stood up. I took the hint.
"I'll see you guys later," I said, smiling as Alice took in her surrounding. Jazz fumbled in his pocket and got down on one knee while her back was turned.
Well, there's one for the grandkids, I thought as I drove back through town home.
I noticed as I drove down the street that there was a UPV sat outside my house.
An Unidentified Parked Volvo.
My heart, against my will, sped up, and I couldn't stop myself from driving slightly faster.
Edward was here.

Sooooooooooo sorry to end it there! But its all I have for the time being. I still need you guys to go vote in the poll. Profile. GO.
So, how is everybody? God, it really has been ages. What did you think of the get-Alice-back thing? I just thought it was really sweet. I mean, who could say no to that?
Oooh, and everyone say hi to Tombe223 and robynjodie, the latest poor souls I've managed to kidnap from the real world and into the world of obsession, otherwise known as FanFiction, hehe. Their story ideas sound amazing, can't wait for them to get their asses into gear and post them.
