A/N: I know this is UBER short, but I missed Alice and wanted to use that line Jake had in his note to Bella in Eclipse. Let me know what you think. Thanks to Yumetaka Kourui on beta'ing.

Nothing bad ever happens in love. No lying, no illness, and, certainly, no death. There is no room for mistakes or misunderstanding: they simply do not exist. Love is light and warmth and everything sentimental and romantic. Sneaking kisses and palm grazes in the dusty back room that no one ever uses. Feeling so happy that flying does not seem so impossible. Always sunshine, never clouds or rain. Life just could not possibly be any better.

Nothing good ever happens in love. No comfort, no safety, and, certainly, no truth. There is no room for loyalty or caring: they simply do not exist. Love is lies and deceit and everything secret and hidden. Sneaking kisses and palm grazes in the dusty back room that no one ever uses. Feeling so betrayed that even breathing seems so impossible. Always dark, never stars or sun. Life just could not possibly be any worse.

"Alice, baby, I miss you so much."

"Yeah, I miss you, too. A lot. Doesn't change anything. Sorry."
