MIA'S POV
"Here we are. Ready?" Jasper asked me.
I sighed. "Yes."
We walked into the house, holding hands. Something darted at me.
"Mia!" Jackie cried out, hugging me.
"Hi!" I said happily.
"I've missed you soooo much!" she said.
"I've missed you, too!" Nessie chimed, skipping in.
"We've all missed you." Esme said, walking in with Carlisle.
"Thanks so much." I said to everyone. "I've missed you, too."
Emmett and Rose walked down the stairs.
"Emmett." Jasper said.
Emmett looked at him for a second. He then broke into a smile, saying, "Welcome home, man."
They hugged. Awww!
"Wow, those contacts are working really well for you." Bella said, leaning against the doorway.
"I'm not wearing the contacts." I said. "My eyes went back to normal."
"Oh." She said. She then ran over and gave me a hug. "I've missed you, friend."
"I've missed you, too." I said, smiling.
"Hey, look who the wind blew in." Jake said, walking in.
"Jakey, you're back!" Nessie cried, running to him.
"Seth sends his best to everyone." He said.
"Seth?" I asked.
"Just a friend." Jake said. "You'll have to meet him sometime."
"I'd like that." I said. I looked around at everyone. But, wait…. "Where's Edward?"
"Hello." He said, walking in. "Okay, so I still don't think this is a good idea, but…welcome to the family."
"Edward, really?" Jasper asked, looking relieved.
"Yeah. Welcome back, bro." he said, grinning.
"Mia, I've got to talk to you. We'll get reacquainted with everyone later." Jasper said.
"Okay." I said, smiling at him lovingly.
He picked me up like he always does and carried me up the stairs to his room.

ALICE'S POV
"Hi, everybody!" I said, walking into the house. My house.
"Alice!!" Everyone exclaimed, running over and hugging me.
"Where've you been the last few months?" Dad asked me.
"I went to Tanya's." I said. When Mom started saying that they'd called Tanya, I told them that I told her to keep me a secret. "I'm sorry I ran off."
"All that matters is that you're home now." Bella said.
"Oh, where's Jazz? I need to talk to him." I said, walking to the stairs.
"Alice, wait!" Rose said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Umm, come here! I've missed you!" she said, holding her arms out for a hug.
I walked over and hugged her. Why is she stalling me?
"You have to tell us what you've been doing with yourself." Emmett said.
"Shouldn't I get-"
"He'll be down." Edward said.
"Well…Okay. After I left, I…"

MIA'S POV
"What's going on, Jasper?" I asked.
"I wanted to…give you this." Jasper said. He pulled out the little white box with a red ribbon. "Mia, I know that last time I tried to give this to you, it was a little too soon. But now, dear, I know that I'm sure about us. I love you."
I stared into his eyes and breathed in his sweet scent as he placed the necklace around my neck. "Oh, Jazz…I….I love you." I said. "Forever and Always."
Then I kissed him. I love him and I'm not afraid to tell him so. I'm happy with my life. I'm finally alive.

ALICE'S POV
"Wow, what else happened?" Rose asked, still stalling. Okay, enough.
"I don't know why you are all stopping me from seeing Jazz, but it ends here. I'm going to his room. Now."
"But, Alice, wait." Mom said.
"No, Esme." I said, miffed. Running up the stairs, I stood quietly outside of his door. I'll sneak in and surprise him.
Quietly opening his door, I snuck in. Look up, I see…..Oh.
Jazz and Mia, kissing by the window. His skin slightly shimmering in the moonlight. Shimmering the way I always loved. I quietly snuck back out. Sitting on the floor in front of his door, I silently dry sobbed.
Getting up and walking down the hall, I walked into the place I know as my bedroom. Emptily looking around, I whispered, "I guess we just weren't meant to be."
