Final chapter, ahh! I'm excited! Proper A/N at the bottom :)


The previous two weeks had passed quickly and I finally began to feel like I was settling back into some sort of normality. I had never lived apart from my brother, apart from the obvious, for any amount of time before and he had insisted that I stay with Jasper, despite my guilt. He had found a job and a place fairly quickly and although he was only a few minutes away from me and Jazz, it felt strange not being near him. During this time, I truly appreciated what a support my brother had been to me throughout my life and I knew he would be, just not as constant as he had been.
Living with Jasper had been the happiest time of my life so far. We both knew we didn't quite know each other as well as we liked so we spent a lot of time trying to find out everything about each other. Jasper had been born in Texas, where his parents had raised him with strict traditional morals, they showed. He was a complete gentlemen, always treating me like I'd imagined when I was young but I'd never imagined my prince to be a soldier. However much we broached the subject, his life as a soldier was something he'd never talk about. His expression always took on a darker feel and he seemed to become guarded... Apart from one time, the conversation I felt we had to have if I was to stay with him.. about my visions, my 'power.' I knew it had to happen.

We sat on the sofa, barely any distance between us. In silence, just enjoying the feeling of being around each other. He cupped my cheek gently and I gave him a small smile, then I sighed, I knew this topic had to come and it had to be soon.

"Jazz, I need to..well, I need to tell you something." I spoke hesitantly, nervously biting my lip.

He nodded but he didn't speak. His intent gaze on me as his expression became more serious.

"I see things, things I shouldn't." I choked out. "My parents hated it. It's hard to explain, Jazz. I see...the future." I glanced at him anxiously.

He raised his eyebrow. My heart sunk, he didn't believe me... Who would?

"Please, I'm serious Jazz." My voice was tinged with desperation and he thumbed my cheek comfortingly instantly. "I need you to know. It's how I knew Edward was alive... and it's how I knew to come back to you. Please-"

He placed his finger lightly on my lips, smiling. "Alice, I don't always know what to think about these things but if you say you do, I believe you." His voice contained only the utmost sincerity. "Don't worry, okay? I believe you."

He leaned towards me and his lips brushed my cheek softly and he took my hand, gently tracing circles on my palm. We remained in silence for quite a while before he spoke again.

"I should tell you something too, Alice." He cleared his throat as I looked to him questioningly. "When I was discharged from the army... Er.. I have a good grasp on people's emotions. I understand that doesn't sound like much but it's almost like I can make people feel how I want them to sometime. If I'm in a crowded room, it can be overwhelming.. I can get angry or happy really quickly because of the people there. I can't help it." He shook his head and chuckled softly. "This doesn't make sense, I'm sorry. When I was in the army, I got really angry... smashing things up angry, Alice." I felt my eyes widen slightly, I couldn't imagine Jasper like that. "But they weren't my emotions, it wasn't my anger, they were some of the other guy's... and they were just so strong, I couldn't help it."

He looked to me and I nodded uncertainly, If I could see my visions then Jasper's near control of emotions could be perfectly possible. I understood almost, whenever I was around Jasper I felt happier than I did before but was that him or was that how I should feel with him? I was glad he had told me but it made certain things very confused in my head. I could feel myself frowning as I became more and more confused.

"Whatever it is, I never did it to you Alice." He murmured. "I promise."

He leaned in and as soon as his lips touched mine, I felt all the confusion fade away... dissolved by his intoxicating presence as I leaned into him, my hand running through his hair as I kissed back passionately.


Edward had moved in to a small place a little way down the road from where Jasper and I lived. Never having lived on his own before, I couldn't imagine what he filled his time with. I wanted to visit him often, but I was scared that he'd eventually find me annoying or a nuisance so I tried to restrain myself. Finding things to do when I desperately wanted to see my brother was a very difficult thing to do.
I padded around the flat, glancing in each room, unable to find anything that would entertain me. I picked up books and then put them aside again, I had never been a restless person but right now I couldn't be anything but. As I walked towards the kitchen, Jasper appeared, leaning from the door frame and sighing loudly. I smiled at him innocently and he couldn't hide his amused grin. He closed the distance between us, sighed again and grabbed my wrist, walking down the hallway and pulling me with him.

"Jazz, what are you doing?" I stumbled after him.

"You're going crazy and driving me crazy along with you." He chuckled. "We're going to see your brother."


My brother grinned at me and Jasper as he opened the door, his hair was disheveled as if he had been running his hand through it frequently but his expression seemed brighter. My brother had always been always been a fairly serious person, able to joke and have fun but maintaining a sombre exterior. This exterior now seemed to be broken and I was puzzled about what had managed to break it.
He stepped forward and threw his arms around me, ruffling my hair as he drew his arms back. I mock frowned at him and then laughed, just glad to see my brother. His flat had come fully-furnished and it almost seemed to suit him already. He flopped down onto a sofa which looked like it was barely holding itself up already, it creaked loudly and I smiled again.

"How have you been?" I asked, perching gingerly on the end of the sofa as Jasper sat down beside me.

Edward smiled again. "I've been great," He stood up quickly, closing the distance between us so he stood in front of me, his arms crossed, "...missing my sister though. I haven't seen you for a while!"

I stared at the floor awkwardly, "sorry, I just... I didn't want to bother you, when you'd just moved in." I said, slightly embarrassed.

Edward chuckled quietly. "You won't ever bother me, Alice..." Then he paused, as if in thought, "...okay, well no more than a sister should to her brother..." I scowled at him and he laughed again. "I want you around, Alice. I don't want to have two week breaks between seeing you."

I nodded, smiling. Edward moved to the door, leaning on the door frame and looking at me and Jasper. "Do you guys want anything-" He stopped suddenly.

I saw a small, pale hand take his. A girl then stepped out from behind him, her long brown hair swayed with her as she moved and her brown eyes, in which happiness shined, were fixed solely on him. Edward smiled at her and then cleared his throat, clearly motioning to Jasper and I with his head. She looked over and then her eyes widened. Her cheeks filled with red as she broke her hand away from my brother, flinching away from him.

"H-hi." She said, her voice verging on a squeak.

I beamed at her. "Hello, I'm Alice... Edward's sister." I introduced myself uncertainly.

"This is Bella." Edward replied for her, she had obviously not been expecting us. "My landlady."


After her initial embarrassment, Bella began to join in with our conversation and I found myself getting along with her really well. She reminded me of my brother, her semi-serious manner and her humour was the same. She seemed a little more uncertain of herself and I'm not sure if my overly enthusiastic friendly conversation unsettled her slightly.
I gazed in between her and my brother as the conversation continued. A smile never left his face as she spoke and he seemed to edge forward towards her without realising it. I had never seen my brother like this and for a moment, it confused me. Then it hit me, so much so that I had to stifle a gasp. Love, or the beginnings of love were etched into his expression. When I had found him, I always wondered how he had known that I loved Jasper before I knew myself. It was obvious, my brother seemed to have changed so much within those two weeks. I couldn't comment on Bella's change, if there had been any at all but I could see the way she was looking at my brother and I could only hope his feelings were reciprocated.

After a while, Bella and Edward's conversation seemed to exclude us. Jasper cleared his throat, gaining my attention and he motioned towards the door, as if he was asking if we should go. I nodded and smiled, we stood up and Edward and Bella looked to us, broken out of their bubble. I chuckled quietly to myself.

"We're going to head off now." Jasper said, taking my hand

Edward barely concealed a slight frown but nodded and walked us to the door.

As I hugged him, I pulled myself up to whisper in his ear. "She seems nice, Edward. Take the opportunity while you can, she likes you too, I can tell." As I withdrew from the hug, I could see the confused frown on his face and hoped that some essence of the idea had been planted in his head.

After our goodbyes, I took Jasper's hand and we walked back to Jasper's place. We walked in silence which I was grateful for, it gave me time to cast my mind back to the time when Edward and I had first decided to leave home. I remembered the misery and the helplessness I felt... Plus the desperation I had felt when I had found myself separated for my brother. I could have never believed how good everything would turn out.
Especially Jasper, when I was young I always dreamed of the charming prince who I would spend the rest of my life happy with and it almost felt like those childhood dreams were worth it. The prince of my dreams was underwhelming compared to Jasper. As I thought this, I realised how soppy I sounded but I couldn't help it, my happiness overrode everything and it was how I truly felt. My dreams had come true.

As soon as we walked in the door, Jasper span around and took my other hand. He looked nervous and uneasy. I smiled uncertainly at him as he breathed in deeply.

"Alice." I nodded and smiled. "I was going to wait until later to do this, if I did it at all but I just can't. I can't bare not knowing what..." He sighed, smiling at me. "Sorry, it's just I...err..."

"What is it, Jazz?" My hand raised slowly to his face, he leaned in to my hand instantly.

"I've always been a traditionalist, Alice..." I nodded slowly again, unsure of where this conversation was going, "...but not only that... I love you, so much. I don't want to do anything else but spend time with you and I need everybody to know just how much I love you. I need it to be... official."

I froze with shock, stifling a gasp. "Jazz, do you mean..."

He nodded, still looking as nervous as he had done but moments ago. He slowly lowered himself to one knee, "Alice, I want everyone to know and more importantly, I want you to know.. that I love you, always." He paused, smiling nervously at me. "Will you do me the amazing honour...of being my wife?"

I bit my lip and before I knew it a laughter burst from me. Jasper's instant hurt was apparent and I silenced myself. After a few moments of quiet, I leaped towards him. I locked my arms around his neck as he fell backwards, landing us both on the floor. He began to laugh too, only stopping as I leaned in to kiss him passionately. My embrace tightened as I pulled him towards me.

As we broke apart, I laughed again. "You soppy fool."

"Is that a yes?" His tone was light-hearted but I could sense the serious question underneath.

There was a pause and I could feel my smile begin to widen. "Yes. Of course, how could there be any other answer? I love you." I uttered, kissing him again.

I only noticed we were still laying on the floor when he began to sit up, my arms around him meant I was pulled up with him. I pulled myself closer to him so there was no space between us, my head rested on his shoulder and his arm instantly wrapped around me.
I felt safe, a safety that came from just being close to him. I could practically feel the warmth and love radiating from him and I could feel the red flush, that showed itself along with my wide smile, burning brightly on my cheeks. I felt as if I could spend an eternity by his side and that would still not be enough. There was a need that surged within me, I needed to be close to him and I needed to know he felt the same.
He squeezed me tightly then leaned over, his lips softly brushing my forehead. I placed my hands on his shoulder, pushing myself up to meet his lips and kissing him softly, our lips only touching for a second. He was mine, forever. I couldn't begin to contemplate the perfect situation I found myself in. All I could do is smile as I faced a future of happiness and of love with my fiancée, my sweetheart Jasper.


First of all, I'm sorry it took so long to post this. I was so stressed out by exam and coursework that I couldn't have possibly finished it any quicker. I hope you liked the ending, I can't resist a good old fashioned romantic proposal. (: It's sort of sad to be leaving this story behind, although I may write the wedding (I do love writing weddings) at some point and perhaps add it on to the end.. what do people think about that? Let me know!
I'd like to thank my beta-reader and support in my times of struggle with this story, Ellie Jane Farrell (That is her Pen Name, check her out!), I honestly couldn't have written this story without her... I'd also like to thank you, my readers who have managed to make it this far, all the reviewers, favouriters and alerters that encouraged me to go on with this. It's been a fun and happy story to write, I do love Alice and Jasper! I plan on writing another AliceXJasper story soon, so I hope a few of you will be kind enough to read that too but until then, I can't thank you enough, all of you, for your support and praise whilst I was writing. Please do me one last favour and review :P Thanks!
