Alice and Jasper: Forever and Always

Chapter 1

Author's Note:

One more thing, I don't know how often I will be updating this story. I will try to post a new chapter every weekend, but don't hold me to that please. I have a lot of activities that are more important right now; school, homework, ski racing, my horse, my friends and family. Until spring, don't count on me to update often. As I said, I will try to make once a week, but it probably won't happen considering that I am missing a lot of school every week for my ski team. And in the spring, I might not update a lot if I decide to do a musical or a spring sport. Anyways, I hope you enjoy but please don't send me mean messages about updating; I will update when I find time. Thanks

(If not otherwise stated, this story will be from Alice's point of view only. Although I do love hearing Jasper's thoughts, I find it too confusing to be switching back and forth, especially while writing.)

The year was 1948. We were one month away from meeting the Cullen's. Just one month away! The anticipation was killing me, almost as much as it had before I'd met Jasper. At least now I had him to calm me down. I didn't know what to do with myself. I packed up all of the stuff we'd accumulated since we'd gotten back from Africa, which wasn't a lot. I picked out Jasper's and my outfits, and then changed them fifteen times, even though I'd already seen what we would wear when we met them. We would leave for Vermont next week, and take our time getting there, as we would still have two weeks. Two more weeks!

Jasper must have sensed my anticipation, again, for he came behind me and wrapped his arms around me, calming me instantaneously. "Excited Alice?" he asked. "Of course I am. But you knew that already," I answered back, teasingly. "Yes, but I don't necessarily know why" he said. "Two weeks, Jasper. Two weeks until we meet them." I paused, "What if they don't like me?" "Who couldn't like you Alice? Of course they'll like you. You've already seen that," he said, comforting me. "But seeing it is different than actually seeing it. You know?" I sounded crazy. Of course they'll like me. That's not really what I was worried about. I was worried about what I was going to say. I decided that I would try looking into the future to see how we would meet.

*Vision* Jasper and I got out of my car, and walked at human speed to the door. Jasper held my hand, trying to comfort me although he knew it was no use. I can do this, I kept repeating to myself over and over again. The vision stopped when I rang the doorbell. I couldn't see any further. This is going to be interesting. At least Jasper will be there to calm me down, and them too in case we frightened them. I had that effect on people. My gift didn't exactly help that.

"How bad can it be Alice?" Jasper asked, "They are vampires. Our gifts won't faze them Alice, I promise." I sighed. "I hope so." The anticipation was getting stronger as each minute ticked by. I tried to do different things that week to get my mind off of it, but I knew it wouldn't help. I spent a few more hours folding and unfolding and refolding all of our clothes and packing them away again. We went shopping even though we had more than enough clothes. We went hunting together.

We wanted to savor all the time we had left alone. We wouldn't have the same privacy we had now. Alone time would be rare with our new family and we decided to make the most of what we had. Jasper tried to be as excited as I was, but I could tell he was disappointed. He wanted me and only me. He didn't want our new family to take any time away from us. I think he was also worried that they wouldn't like us, but he wouldn't admit it, especially not to me.
