A.N: I apologize!! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in... however long it's been! I hope that you haven't ditched me... :D Well, here's the next Chapter!

I danced down the spiral staircase and walked into the living room, where Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie and Esme were sitting on the sofa, like they were having a private discussion. Esme looked up at me, and stared into my eyes with worry.

"What's wrong with Edward?" She asked gently, making room for me on the settee beside her. I walked over and sat down.

"I think it's the 'love' thing again." I whispered. Edward hadn't been able to find love, not in all the forty-nine years I'd known him. I had found Jasper, but that was another story. Carlisle; Esme and Rosalie; Emmett. Our true loves. Edward was without. I could feel his pain, emanating from him every time he was near us, but it would just add to the build up of worry I had at the moment. Damn! Our life was so confusing! "What's going on down here?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

I had a vision. My eyes widened as I saw the pictures behind them. It would happen in a few seconds time: Carlisle would tell me we had to move.

"No!" I gasped with shock, "Don't say it. Please, don't say it." I breathed, anxious. If I could cry, by now, I would've done.

"I'm sorry, Alice. But we might have to move." Carlisle said glumly. I could tell that he wished that it wasn't true himself. But it was.

"We've stayed here long enough. If we stay here any longer, we run the risk of being discovered." Rosalie added. It looked like she could have tears in her eyes too, if she were human.

I mouthed the next words. "But what about….. Jasper?"

"We haven't really decided properly yet. But, we may have to leave him behind if he doesn't return soon." Emmett spoke that time, and I was sure that he regretted it as soon as I glared at him: my eyes boring angrily into his.

I had another vision: Jasper, returned home - but no one was there. He looked hurt, confused.

"Then why do I see Jasper returning to THIS house, and we not here!" I shouted, jumping up.

The anger was boiling up inside of me; I just tried not to unleash it onto my beloved family. Instead, I ran upstairs and into Edward's room as fast as I could. He was there, ready to catch me. He lifted me gently, and sat me on his lap on the sofa which was in the middle of his room. He stroked my hair and whispered comforting remarks into my ear. I was glad to have Edward as a brother, he always understood - always cared.

"Shhhh, calm down Alice." He whispered. "Everything's going to be okay."

"But what about Jasper?" I sobbed dryly. "He's going to come here, and we won't be here! What will he do then, Edward? Destroy half of America?"

"He won't. I know him." Edward replied simply.

I had a vision. This time, Jasper returned home, and we were here. Edward and I were there, so he was only confused about the whereabouts of the rest of our large family. We explained, and we ran with him to our new home.

"Oh, Edward!" I buried my face in his muscled chest, hugging him tightly. My feelings of sadness and anger had evaporated and were replaced by happiness.

"That's a good idea, now I think about it." Edward mused, retaliating to the vision he had seen in my head.

"Oh, can we, can we?!" I practically screamed, jumping up in excitement. My bouncy attitude had made Edward leap up too. He pinched the bridge of his nose between his index finger and his thumb, and shook his head, while closing his eyes.

"I don't know Alice, it might not be safe. Anyone could come after us and we would be vulnerable without the rest of the family." He said slowly, without opening his eyes. He ran his free hand through his tousled bronze hair and gradually opened them.

"B-but… Jasper?" I stammered, not believing what my favourite brother had just said. Not safe? What was that about? We'd have a mind reader, a future-teller and we'd both be kick-ass strong! What did he mean?

"I don't want to risk hurting you, Alice. I love you, and if you were to get hurt, then I would be responsible for not keeping you safe enough." Edward replied gently, reading my mind - again.

"I don't need keeping safe, Edward, I'm just as strong as you, if you hadn't noticed." I retorted, raising one of my perfectly plucked eyebrows.

I walked towards the giant windows at the back of his room and gazed out at the wildlife, thinking about how Jasper would feel if we left him behind…

"Oh, okay. Fine! We'll do it, if you stop with the detailed explanations!" Edward winced, feeling his brother's pain in my head. "We have to discuss it with Carlisle and Esme first, though."

"Okay." I said, smile lighting up my pale face.

Soo.. Second chapter. Better or Worse? Up to you! R&&R Please... :)
