Disclaimer: All right people, as you already had the knowledge that neither you nor I own the Twilight Trilogy. BEFORE you go commenting me about it not being a trilogy anymore, I KNOW THAT! It's just so much better writing it in that fashion. Don't bother suing me 'cuz I don't own nothin'.

Why don't you trust me? Bella yelled, walking briskly desperate to catch up with Jasper.

I do trust you! He turned around to face her but didn't bother slowing down. He wanted to get away from her; he was scared of what she would think about him.

Then why don't you tell me? She asked almost choking her own words due to tears.

Tell you what, Bella? That I've been gallivanting every night to kill humans? Jasper stopped, turned to face Bella. He saw the most heart-wrenching image in his entire life. Her hair disarray, clothes dishevelled, tears stained face and puffy red eyes.

Just tell me the truth damn it! She flailed her arms as if to emphasize her point, more tears threatening to fall.

That is the truth! He hissed in an incredibly frightening voice.

… He kept his head down, not knowing what to expect from her. Bella stood limply, no emotions whatsoever evident on her face.

Bella? Snapping Bella out of her reverie.

Why didn't you tell me? Everyone knows. Why do I have to be the last person to know? She asked in a soft tone.

Bella, you have to understand. It's not a matter of trust because you know that I trust you with all my life. My whole family trusts you with our secret! He dared to take a step closer, seeing she didn't cower away; he filled in the gap between them.

Then why? Her voice cracking.

I don't want you to be scared of me, I don't want you to run away from me when I told you I've killed an innocent human being. Jasper frantically explained how he felt, but he knew words wouldn't do his true feelings any justice.

Jasper, I could never run away from you. Bella raised a hand and gently caressed his cheek.

I don't want you to look at me and think that I'm a monster. I wouldn't be able to live myself if you think that. He leaned into her hand and placed his arm around her waist.

No.

Pardon me?

No. How could you make assumptions like that? She was furious at him for a moment, and then softened her gaze.

In all honesty, wouldn't you have thought that? Even for a second? He held her close, his other arm wrapping around her small frame easily.

I can't think any negative things about you. I love you too much. He barely caught what she had said; he even thought he was imagining it. Bella wrapped her arms snugly around his neck.

You? You love me? He croaked out, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Of course I do! I know its such an unconventional thing to say at a moment like this but you just can't seem to stop beating yourself up. She chuckled a sad laugh, hugging him tightly.

I apologize for my ignorance and idiocy, Bella. I just can't wrap it in my mind that someone wouldn't be afraid of a vampire. But I guess you're not everyone. She nodded while resting her head on his chest.

I think being accident-prone have already established that, but yeah. I'm not most people. She smirked.

Bella, I love you. He heard a small gasp coming out from her lips. He cupped her face with both his hands to meet with his.

You do? A small happy smile slowly forming on her face.

Yes, I do, more than anything in the world. Before she knew what was going on, he leaned in and let their lips meet.
