Breaking Dawn: What Really Happened
PART ONE: Cheater, Cheater.
There was nothing Bella could do but watch the numbers on the gas meter go up slowly. She felt so exposed, like she was put under the spotlight. In her mind, everyone's eyes were on her.
Cheater, cheater, cheater. The imaginary voices whispered over and over.
"It's over now, as long as Jasper keeps his promise, no one will ever find out." She muttered to herself, climbing back into the car.
Jasper had come over to her house to check on her; Bella had been an emotional wreck ever since she told her parents about marrying Edward, so one of the Cullens had to be with her at almost all times when Edward could not. He came over most often; he was able to calm her down best. He had another motive to come over that the rest of the Cullens didn't know, and couldn't find out. Ever.
It started about two weeks before. It was the first time Jasper came to "babysit". He silently walked into the house and flitted upstairs. He opened Bella's door; she didn't hear it open, so she didn't have time to cover herself before Jasper got a good look of her naked.
You would expect Bella to scream and Jasper to hide, embarrassed. Well, you would be wrong. Bella stared at Jasper as his eyes scanned her body. He ran across the room and held her in his arms and, well… You can imagine what happened next.
This happened every time it was Jasper's turn to "babysit Bella". He somehow kept it out of his thoughts around Edward; he didn't suspect a thing. Alice, however, foresaw it every time; she did not say a word, nor did she let Edward find out. All of them acted like everything was normal. Alice was easily distracted from her devastation; the wedding was coming quickly, and she had lots of planning to do.
The night before Edward and Bella were to be wed, Jasper and Emmett stole Edward from Bella's room for his "bachelor party", AKA hunting. Before Jasper joined his brothers, however, he climbed into the window to "calm Bella down". Really, it was their chance to be together before Bella would leave and possibly not come back.
Of course she'll come back, Jasper thought as he kissed Bella for the last time. If I have enough self-control, Edward definitely does.
The day of the wedding, Jasper could barely stand all of the joy and excitement. He was absolutely miserable that he was losing Bella. It wasn't just lust between them; in their few hours together, they had fallen in love.
None of that matters anymore! She's getting married. She can't be with me anymore.
He tried and tried to erase their stolen kisses, her touch, her scent from his mind, but he couldn't. He sat through the whole stinking wedding, thinking about absolutely nothing but the stupidity of love. Edward didn't seem to notice his brother's misery.
When Jasper got a turn to dance with Bella, it took all of his focus to not think about how he was holding in his arms for the last time, the most beautiful thing in the entire universe. Her eyes filled with tears as he whispered his final goodbye when the song had ended. She returned to Edward, and Jasper fled.
He could not stand to see them together. He couldn't bear watching them leave, knowing what was going to happen while they were away.
