He put that bottle to his head

And Pulled the trigger

He finally drank away her memory

Life is short

But this time it was bigger

Than the strength he had to get off of his knees

We found him with his face down in the pillow

With a note that said I'll love her till I die

And when we buried him beneath the willow

The Angel's Sang a Whiskey Lullaby.

Alice Point of View

Jasper and I just had our first kiss. It was amazing just as his ringtone blasted through the room.

"We're about John Wayne

Johnny Cash

John Deere

Way Out Here"

"Hello?" he asked. His facial expressions suddenly changed. "We'll be there as soon as possible"

"Jasper?" he looked blank "Jasper whats wrong?"

"My mom just… well… she just died"

"Oh my gosh Jasper! What can I do? When do we leave?"

"I want to get on the next flight as soon as possible. Go find Bella. Be back here in a half an hour."

"Ok" I sighed. Couldn't my life just be perfect for once?

"And Alice?"

"Yes Jasper?"

"I love you more than anything"

"I love you too" I kissed him one last time before I ran down the hall. I found Bella and started pacing

************** At Airport ***********************

"Flight 1439 on Delta you may now board. Flight 1439 on Delta non-stop to Atlanta, Georgia you may now board"

*****************Atlanta, Georgia****************

"Jasper, honey, we are here" he groggily rolled in the seat. It was 3 a.m. and everyone was exhausted. I looked down at his gorgeous features as his head laid in my lap. I played with a few stray pieces of his hair.

"Alice?"

"Yeah"

"Just know that I'll always love you" he sighed. More tears coming from his eyes

"And I will always love you"

"Attention flight crew and passengers, we have just reached our destination in Atlanta, Georgia. It is currently 3:04 a.m. and the temperature is 87 degrees. We will begin to let you off shortly. We thank you for flying Delta and hope to see you again real soon" the pilots voice sounded over the intercom.

I stood up and stretched as Jasper grabbed our bags. We would spend the night in Georgia then meet everyone in Houston, Texas tomorrow. The funeral was scheduled for the day after..

After grabbing the rest of our luggage we hailed a taxi. The inside smelled like fried chicken and I felt ready to barf. I buried my head into Jasper's shoulder. He was staring into space. We finally arrived at the hotel.

"Jasper I'll check us in. Can you please pay for the taxi and grab the suitcases? I asked. I felt so bad.

"Yeah sure" I walked into the hotel. Finally I was relieved of the fried chicken smell. "Hi I would like one room for just tonight please with two twin beds?" I tried to sound enthralled.

"Oh I'm so sorry we only have a suite with a king bed left." Said the guy. I'm pretty sure he was gay.

"Um how much more is it?" I only had 325 left.

"It is only 220 per night."

"Awesome I will take the room"

"Ok you have room 429 A. How many room keys?"

"Two. The man coming in now. He is my guest. Please give him the information."

"My pleasure. Can I ask who is paying?"

"Me, but whatever he does don't let him pay"

"Sounds swell. Pay when you check out"

"Ok" I walked up to the room and put the carry-ons down. I quickly took off my giant coat and found a pain of spandex and a tank top. I brushed my teeth, threw my hair in a ony, and flopped on the bed just as Jasper came in. He dropped the bags, kicked off his shoes, and flopped onto the bed next to me.

"I know your not sleeping" he snorted. I steam rolled on top of him. "Why did you pay for the room?" he asked playing with a few long hairs.

"You have enough to worry about"

"Yeah but I know you aren't doing well on funds"

"Jasper please I know what its like. And if you want to be alone I understand."

"Alice I actually want to be with someone. I'm actually with two people." He rolled me over and put his hand on my stomach. I was just starting to show.

"Ugh this turd?" he cracked a smile.

"Are you sure you don't want to keep it? Start a family?"

"I do but I don't. It would be so hard knowing what happened."

"Would you ever consider having a family?"

"Yeah I would but after everything is straightened out. Also, if I had a secure future. How about you?"

"You could just about call me family man. If I had a wife and kids, I would do everything right."

"Ditto. I really wish I could keep this, but I haven't even finished a semester of college"

"Do you want my honest opinion?" he asked.

"Sure." His face grew serious.

"I think that you should keep the baby and try to start a family. No one ever got hurt trying." He put his hand on my stomach. " I think its time to go to sleep"

With that he turned off the lights leaving me with quite a lot to ponder.

X-X

The next day we were up by 6 a.m. to catch a small flight to Houston. Most people call it a puddle jump. Jasper and I talked the entire way there. When we landed in Houston Rosalie and Emmett were there.

"You guys ready?" Rosalie asked. Jasper sighed and I nodded. We grabbed our luggage and headed to Rosalie's house. Where there was complete and utter chaos…

THAT NIGHT

Looking back at today a thousand emotions coursed through me.

Flashback

"Alice this is my mom. You can call her mom." Rosie's mom pulled me into a hug.

""Congratulations, Rosie has been talking non-stop about you. And Jasper. Come here boy!"

""Yes ma'am"

"You better take care of her. Now I want you to take Alice to meet Ivy before you leave. Now shoo. I have a lot to plan." Jasper decided to head home so I talked with Rosalie.

"Why does your mom make this so… normal?" I asked

"Because, around here we do that as a way of not mourning. You should know that from growing up in Biloxi."

"Yeah I guess, but who is Ivy?"

"A seer"

"Ah. Well have you seen Belly?"

"Nodda. But I'm going to go find Emmett"

"You kids have fun, but not too much fun" I said faking a smile. I walked into the kitchen to find Rosalie's mom sitting all alone.

"Mrs. Hale are you okay?"

"Oh Alice, please call me Evelyn or mom"

"Ok… erm Mom is everything ok?"

"No! I just lost my sister, and I caught my husband cheating. Oh Alice I know we just met but please don't tell Rosalie."

"Of course," I gave her a hug "Now how would you like shopping?"

"I will take a rain-check because of all this"

"Ok then what can I do?" she handed me a one hundred dollar bill. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah its my husband- I mean ex-husband's money.

"Well thank you"

"No problem"

And that's how I ended up at this beautiful fountain. It's just truly amazing. Oh crap! I have early childhood education homework due in an hour. I race back to the house, but not before running into Edward and Bella?
