A/N: So, as the title would suggest, this is just like Alice's Alphabet but from Jasper's point of view, so it's him writing about how he sees their relationship...It kinda carries on from Alice's Alphabet.

Chapter eighteen: Jasper writes his alphabet...


18. Jasper's Alphabet

The day after Alice had written her alphabet, Jasper decided to write his own. He wrote his thoughts on creamy white paper, and left it on Alice's pillow along with a vibrant red rose. Of course, she would foresee him putting it there, but he wanted her to find it for herself.

Alice smiled as she walked into her bedroom and spotted the rose and the paper lying on the bed. She skipped over to it and picked it up, her smile growing as she began to read the elegant script that covered the page.

A, is for Alice. She is everything to me, the only thing that matters. Her name is like music to my ears, like a magical word that can make all pain go away. Alice is mine. I still can't quite believe that I get to say those words. I must be the luckiest man alive to be allowed to say those words. To speak her name is the biggest privilege. To know her is an even bigger one. To have her as my own, to love her, to be allowed to hold her and kiss her...it's unimaginable. I never would have believed it - truthfully, I still don't believe it, even though I am living it. Alice. The most beautiful name on the planet, for the most beautiful girl.

B, is for belonging. When I'm with Alice, I feel like I belong. I feel like nothing could go wrong when I'm with her, because I'm in the right place with her. Alice has told me enough times to let fate take it's course, and that's easy to do with her. I know that if I am with her, then the future will always be good. We belong together, now and in the future too.

C, is for crazy. Alice can be pretty insane when she gets going - especially when it has something to do with shopping, decorating, or parties. But, no matter how hectic it gets sometimes, it's one of the reasons I love her.

D, is for diner. The day I walked into that diner and saw Alice was the first day of my new life. The first day of my real life. Before that day, I didn't truly know what life was. I hadn't experienced love or friendship or belonging. I'd lived for over a century, but I'd never really lived. Seeing her was like finally seeing the light after almost a century of living in the dark. I felt hope.

E, is for empath. I don't need my gift to know how Alice is feeling. I've been with her for so long, that I know her well enough to not need vampire abilities. I can see everything she feels in her eyes and in her expression.

F, is for forgiving. Whenever I do terrible things, whenever I slip up and loose control, Alice always forgives me. She's never angry, she's always there to help me through.

G, is for goodbye. Every time I say goodbye to Alice, it pulls on my heart a little. I know she'll always come back to me, but being without her is like being without a part of myself.

H, is for heaven. With my lack of soul and my sinful past, I'll probably never go to heaven, but it doesn't matter because my heaven is right here and now - she is my heaven. She is my angel.

I, is for immunity. As a vampire myself, I'm immune to the vampire-dazzling effect. When I'm with Alice, however, I doubt that fact. Her beauty is so great that it seems it must be a trick. A dazzling way to pull me in, like the effect it had on so many humans. But it isn't. I've seen a photo of Alice before she was changed. They say your appearance changes when you become a vampire - that you adopt a perfect beauty. I don't think Alice changed at all - I think she already had perfect beauty. I don't think any vampire could top her pure gorgeousness, not now or when she was human. So, although I know her dazzling doesn't work on me, sometimes that's easy to forget.

J, is for journey. I'd follow Alice to the end of the earth if she led me. When she found me all those years ago, in a diner in Philadelphia she told me that we had a journey to go on. She spoke of family and love and friendship and control - things I didn't dare dream about. She told me the journey would lead us to happiness, to home. All I cared about was that it led me to her.

K, is for knowing. Alice knows the future - she knows everything. She foresaw our meeting, our engagement, our wedding, our wedding night...she experiences things before anyone else. It's why she walks around with a knowing smile on her face, giggling every so often when she looks at me and thinks about what she's seen. Sometimes she tells me after the event has taken place that she foresaw it. She'll smile smugly and say "I knew this would happen.". She's always known every detail of her future - of our future. Some people might be jealous, but not me. I don't need to know every detail of our future. I know that it's ours and that is enough for me.

L, is for little but lethal. Alice is tiny and it makes her all the more cute, but her height is her biggest weapon. People underestimate her and her pixie like body, but I know the truth. Do not get in a fight with Alice. She may be little, but she is lethal. Knowing the future helps too, I suppose. She's just about the only one of my family that can beat me in a fight...

M, is for move. The way Alice moves with such grace never fails to astound me. She walks almost as though dancing on air, like the most beautiful ballet dancer flying slowly across a room. And other times, she moves with the speed and agility of a cheetah, and I'm lucky if I can keep up with her.

N, is for nothing. What I would be without Alice. Without her I wouldn't be the same person that I am today. Life would be pointless...wrong...it would be nothing.

O, is for ostentatious. A big posh word that describes Alice perfectly. Showy. That's what she is. Bright and loud and colourful and flashy in everything she does. Some of the things she does might seem tacky if other people did them...but Alice manages to make them elegant, classy, exiting...all at the same time. She's a designer, an organiser, a creator. Her mind goes places that no one else's does, and sometimes - just sometimes - I'm lucky enough to go along with her. It's another one of the many many reason's why I love her.

P, is for protect. I will always protect Alice, even when she doesn't need protecting. She's physically strong, and she can look after herself, but I'd still throw myself in between her and a threat. I'd protect her life with my own, and I'd protect her happiness with everything that I have. It's my duty, my reason for living. To make Alice happy. To protect her and to love her.

Q, is for queen. Alice is my queen. It's my purpose in life to serve her, as the royalty that she is. I know that I'm not worthy of her, my queen. I was never anything special, I wasn't high class or titled. The highest honour I have is my rank in the army, but that's still not good enough for a queen. I know that I'm selfish to keep her to myself. A queen like her could have anyone she wanted, any number of people that are more deserving of her than I am. But she chose me, and it's just bad luck that I happen to be incredibly selfish when it comes to her. When I'm with her, I say 'screw you' to the rules and the politics of society. Royalty or not, she's mine. Sharing is not an option.

R, is for R-rated. Okay, I kind of stole that one from Alice and her 'X-rated' but I certainly did enjoy the consequences of that particular one...

S, is for simple. Nothing's complicated with me and Alice. We just...are. Me and her, we're together. Always will be. It really is as simple as that. No complications. No confusion. Pure, simple, bliss.

T, is for time. It's something that Alice and I have an endless supply off, and yet it always seems to be slipping away from us. Time flies when I'm with Alice. Seconds blur into minutes and minutes into hours, hours into days and days into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. Before I know it we're living in a different decade, a different town, a different life. And all the while it's like mere moments have passed as I gaze into her sparkling amber eyes.

U, is for understanding. Alice and I don't have mind-reading abilities like Edward does, but somehow we always know what the other is thinking. We always understand exactly what the other is trying to say, no matter how vague the clues are. It's like sometimes we're not two people, with two separate minds, and two sets of separate thoughts. It's like we are one, with the same mind, and the same thoughts.

V, is for vegetarian. Without Alice, I wouldn't be this person. I'd still be the monster that I used to be; feeding on innocent humans, ruining lives, murdering people that could easily have been my friends in another life. Everyday I'm grateful for what Alice has done to me, how she's changed me and made me a better person.

W, is for world. Alice is my whole world - nothing matters more to me than she does. She's the only thing that I see. The second I'm in her presence, it's hard to concentrate on anything but her. Her beautiful smile, her sparkling eyes, her gorgeous hair...every aspect of her absorbs my concentration completely.

Y, is for yearning. The longing that I had for Alice...for every part of Alice...is incredible. I need her next to me every second of every day. I want her with me every year of every life. And I think I might just be lucky enough to have her forever.

X, is for Xcuse. As in, I need an excuse because I couldn't think of a better word for X? Sorry Alice, nothing will top your X word...any excuse for that ;)

Z, is for zoo. The first time I took Alice to the zoo was a bit of a shock...she raced around the exhibits, pulling me around with her. She made faces at the animals, squealed as she found more and more creatures she'd never seen before. One particular animal caught her eye; The lions. It was the middle of the 20th century, and Alice had never seen a lion in person before. Now, she was looking at five of them; two males with fiery manes and three females with sleek coats. Alice gazed into the exhibit, locking eyes with the largest male. He bared his pointy teeth at her and she bared hers right back. A low growl came from her throat as she snapped her jaws at the lion. That day I fell in love with Alice all over again, because she was just so darn cute!

Alice smiled as she read and re-read the words, her smile growing each time she read it. Jasper had written more than Alice had, and his alphabet was just plain better than hers. It summed up their relationship so much better, she thought.

"Jasper this is so sweet." She said. She hadn't heard or sensed him come into the room, but she knew from her vision of this event that he was leaning in the doorway, watching her read the letter.

"You make it sweet." He told her, "It's all about you."

"Us." Alice corrected, "It's always about us."

Jasper could only nod in agreement. It was always them.


Okaaaay, this chapter is dedicated to Jalice5524! Not only because she asked for this chapter, but because she helped loads with it and because she is just plain awesome ;) :) :) Sorry I took so long putting it up... :(

What did you think? I know 'X' is really sucky but I honestly couldn't think of anything better. I even turned to Google and it gave me no better answers... :( :( Also I didn't want to use any words that I'd already used in Alice's alphabet...Anyways, I hope you liked it. Review? :)
