Hey everyone!

I apologize for the delay! I've had this typed out for a while and I just didn't post. I don't have a reason, more of an excuse. School started and I've had fashion project after fashion project shoved at me. But I'm home sick today so I thought since I'm going camping all weekend, I'll post.

I kind of have my beta tied up with my new story, Paranormal Fate (which is by the way, a Jasper and Alice story, paranormal themed for anyone who didn't notice the title xP) So, this is not edited, warning you now. I'd like to give a big thank you to my awesome beta, Suki-Alanna. Thank you so so so so so so much!(:

This chapter is sort of a filler. I wanted to bring more Emmett and Rosalie into the story and so this was created. It does suggest sexual uh stuff, warning you. But it introduces a new tension between Jasper and Alice which will lead to the other two chapters I've already written.

If I get a review today, I'll post the next chapter as an apology for neglecting this story. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I do not in any way The Twilight Saga. I only own Jamie, Raphael, Lucy, Ryan, Tara, Pete and Vanessa. Plus Anthony, who none of you have met yet ;) But next chapter you sure will.

Chapter Twenty: Stupid Mistakes.

Jasper's POV

Alice was avoiding me. But the thing was I didn't know why.

It's been four days since Jamie's Seattle visit and there was a little over a week left until school.

Emmett took Alice out to hunt and they're due back any minute. I don't mind that she chose Em to go, I mean, he is strong enough to stop her if they ran into any humans and she couldn't control herself. Something though, something in me yearns to get her trust back. I want my wife, my Alice back.

But unfortunately, I was at home, thinking of ways I could spark her memory. And so far I have nothing.

How hard could it possibly be to unlock my wife's memories over the past 150 years? Apparently difficult, very difficult.

At the sound of the front door opening, I stood and listened as Emmett bounded in grinning. "Yo ma man, Jazz!" Emmett laughed loudly.

I chuckled. "Emmett."

Alice nodded in greeting in my direction and smiled softly, before quickly heading upstairs, no doubt to Edward's old room.

Emmett sighed and dropped down onto the couch. "I have no clue how you deal with this, Jazz."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you talkin' about?"

"Alice! I mean, she moved out of your room and she barely speaks to you! I'd die if I couldn't have Rose, how do you do it?"

I sighed and sat down next to him. "I just do… I hold onto the hope, that one day, she'll remember everythin'."

"But aren't you sexually deprived? I mean, you and Alice aren't as active as me and Rose, but you haven't had sex in over 5 months! Don't you have blue balls yet? Like seriously! Rose and I go at it almost every night. I'd die if I were you!"

I groaned as Emmett's uncontrolled lust hit me square in the face. "Em, stop it! God, I do not want to have to deal with myself after your large dose of lust! Yes, I feel deprived and sexually frustrated! Yes, I haven't been intimate with my wife in too long; I probably do have blue balls and I certainly do not need your emotions makin' it even harder! But I am a gentleman and I lasted a decade without any satisfaction from a woman – though that was before I met Alice – but I know how to control myself and refuse my consumin' emotions." I exhaled and leaned back on the couch.

"Damn man! Maybe you should mess with Alice's emotions until she jumps you and you two ride it till sunrise."

I growled and clenched my hands into fists, standing. "I will not! That isn't right and I will not abuse my power like that and especially not on my wife! I vowed to keep her safe and to be honest to her, not toy with her just to satisfy my sexual urges!"

Emmett held up his hands in surrender and struggled to find words to cool the atmosphere, "Whoa, sorry Jazz. It was just a thought. Just forget I said anything."

I exhaled. "It's okay; I'm just frustrated and cranky. I'm sorry I snapped."

Em shrugged and grabbed the remote, effectively ending the conversation with football.

Alice's POV

I was halfway up the stairs when my sensitive hearing picked up Emmett and Jasper's conversation downstairs. I heard my name and focused more on the words. I stood on the sixth step, frozen.

They were talking about me… and how Jasper is dealing with no… sex.

Chunks of their conversation floated up the stairs.

"Rose and I go at it almost every night. I'd die if I were you!"

"God, I do not want to have to deal with myself after your large dose of lust!"

"Yes, I haven't been intimate with my wife in too long…"

"Maybe you should mess with Alice's emotions until she jumps you and you two ride it till sunrise."

My eyes widened and I flew up the rest of the stairs and into my room, shutting the door tightly.

Jasper was going to take advantage of me.

Why would he suddenly choose to do that? He's been nothing but a gentleman, a voice spoke up from somewhere in my head.

I shook the invading thoughts from my mind and sat down on Edward's old couch. Soon there was an expected knock at the door. I frowned and called the knocker inside.

In stepped Jasper, a soft smile on his face. "Hey."

I stood up and took a deep breath. "If you're here for what I think you're here for, I suggest you leave."

Jasper frowned. "What do ya' mean?"

"I heard your conversation with Emmett," I answered, stepping up to him with confidence.

His golden eyes closed and he ran a pale hand through his silky looking blonde hair. "You're weren't supposed to hear th-"

I don't know what came over me but I leaned up on my toes and threaded my fingers into his hair. His eyes snapped open in surprise. I sighed quietly and leaned forward bringing his head down to my height. I closed my eyes just as an image pushed through my foggy brain.

I gasped and reared back, stumbling over my pink rug and landing on the floor by the couch.

"I-I… You," I turned my gaze up at startled Jasper. "You twisted my emotions, you-you made me almost do that! Get out, now." I narrowed my eyes accusingly.

"Alice, I-I didn't do anythin'. I'm sorry, but I swear I didn't make you do anythin'."

"Yes, you did. Emmett even said… I-I heard him," I mumbled, looking away.

"Oh god, Emmett was bein' an idiot. I never really…"

I shook my head. "Get out, now." Jasper gave me a pleading glance before exiting my room.

I exhaled and closed my eyes. How did I get dragged into this? I need to find my angel, but how?

Rosalie's POV

I had come back into the house from working on my car in the garage to hear the last three sentences of Emmett and Jasper's conversation and the new sound of football on the TV.

"Emmett, may I ask why you were bugging Jasper on such a topic?"

My oversized husband turned his head from the football game on the flat screen to me and shrugged. "I was trying to understand how he could withstand his urges."

I rolled my eyes and smacked him on the back of the head with my greasy rag. "You're an idiot! Jazz doesn't want to think about stuff like that at this point!"

"No I don't," Jasper responded from the foot of the stairs. "Alice heard us but didn't stick around to hear my response on your emotion twistin' comment."

I turned back to face my husband with one golden eyebrow raised. "What?"

"I was simply giving Jasper joking options. I wasn't being serious…" Emmett lamely defended himself.

"What comment?" I demanded.

"He said that I should manipulate Alice's emotions until she can't take it anymore and she agrees on bein' intimate with me," Jasper answered, ending with a glare at Em.

I growled. "You're an idiot!"

"I'm sorry! God, I was only throwing random suggestions out there!"

"And you didn't stop and think that Alice is a vampire and can hear these things?" I hissed.

"I didn't think she'd leave before Jazz denied it!"

"Ugh! You never think do you?" I narrowed my eyes at my idiot husband and turned towards the stairs.

"No Rose, I don't think she wants to talk to anyone. She's confused and frustrated and I don't think she trusts anyone much right now," Jasper murmured and put a restraining hand on my shoulder.

I sighed and nodded. "Alright."
