Chapter 1
JASPER POV
15 years ago
They were at it again. Making goo goo eyes at each other across the room and their feelings matched it. I could only imagine the thoughts that Alice was thinking to accompany it. Edward must have caught wind of my thoughts, because he suddenly felt very guilty and left the room.
Alice and I had been growing apart for a few years now, and Alice and Edward had been falling in love. I was thankful, though, that they hadn't gone to any lengths to cheat on me, Alice and I were still together, a fact that I was about to change. Alice had never broken up with me, why? I'm not sure. But I should make it easier for her, even if it hurt me. I loved her so much. Alice had found me and helped me. I loved her enough to let her go.
Alice suddenly turned to look at me, she must have seen my decision.
"Alice, would you go for a run with me?"
"Of course, Jasper," she felt a little sad but happy at the same time. Sometimes it was extremely hard to be able to feel other people's emotions, because it could hurt me in the process.
We took off running and ended up next to a lake somewhere.
"Alice, I know that you've already seen what I'm going to say. But, please, let me say it anyway. I need to," she nodded and I continued.
"Alice, I want to thank you. You saved me from my previous lifestyle and I will always feel an immense amount of gratitude. Over the years, we've been together and we've tried to fall in love with each other but it never really worked. We put a good show on for the family, they believed we were soul mates, but we've never felt anything other than an affectionate love for each other," That's a lie, you know that you loved her, " For the past few years, we've been growing further and further apart," she was about to object, but I put up a finger to stop her, "Don't deny it. Empath remember," I said pointing to myself. She sighed and nodded. "You've been falling in love with Edward and he's been in love with you for the past ten years and I want you two to be together. Both of you are immensely happy when you spend any amount of time together, even if you're not expressing your true feelings to each other. It's about time you both did. Your perfect for each other. You love each other," I took a deep unnecessary breath," I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to let you go. Go to Edward, love him just as he loves you. You don't need to end things with me anymore. Don't worry about hurting me. Just be happy." I tried to smile convincingly at her, but it didn't really work. I would always love Alice she saved me, but she deserved to be happy.
"Jasper," she said, I looked up at her, "Thankyou, but I don't want to hurt you. You deserve to be happy too."
"Alice, I will be happy...in time. But for now, go to Edward, tell him that your all his. Go and be happy. That's all I need to be happy at the moment. Knowing that you're happy is enough for me. You're my best friend Alice, you deserve to be happy."
I turned
towards the forest, instead of towards home. "Aren't you coming
home?"
" I need to go hunting," I said pointing to my very
dark eyes.
That familiar look of disgust filled her eyes as she looked at my eyes and then the scar on top of my eyebrow. She nodded and skipped off to the house.
I ran in the opposite direction and kept running. I'm not sure how long I ran for, but I crossed at least five country borders.
I ran because
I had let go of the one person who kept me sane.
I ran because I
had let go of the one person who had given me happiness.
I ran because I had let go of the person who had bought me my family.
And I ran
because they weren't my family anymore.
I ran because I needed
too.
I stopped in Houston, Texas. It looked almost the same as when I had left it, with minor technological advances. It even smelt the same, the streets smelled like vampire. I'm not sure what made me stop here, maybe my mind was subconsciously telling me that I had to come back now that my family was no longer mine.
It was dark, around three o'clock in the morning was my guess. Everyone was at home tucked up in their beds in their little family homes where they all belonged. Dreaming of happy families, unicorns, pretty dresses, Halo and Basketball.
I was just
walking around taking in my surroundings, reliving the past in my
head when suddenly there was a scream. I jumped into soldier mode,
someone needed my help. I rushed towards the screaming, as I got
closer the scent of blood filled my nose, and the burn in my throat
increased ten fold. All sense flew away and all I could think about
was the blood.
Blood.
Blood.
Blood.
Blood.
I need
blood.
It smelled of chocolate and vanilla, which I had loved in
my human days, such a sweet intoxicating smell.
I needed to taste it.
I felt like I would die if I didn't taste the blood. I blindly followed the scent through the streets, I was so distracted by the blood that I couldn't take in my surroundings anymore. All I could see was blood and all I could think about was blood, everything was blood and I needed it.
The scent was getting weaker the closer I got to it. I hurried, I needed the blood. I eventually reached a room in a large house. On the bed was a girl, I could hardly see the details, all I saw was blood. Over her was a man, he was stealing her blood, my blood. I growled from deep within my chest. He turned and his eyes glowed a deep ruby red from his victims blood. He growled, a far more stronger and menacing growl than my own.
Even in my blood-crazed state I could recognise a losing battle. I could not win against him, he was strong with human blood, and I hadn't hunted in over a week, I was weak.
I backed out of the room trying to escape, sense was slowly flooding back to me. I could vaguely remember that I didn't like human blood, it was bad, I didn't need to die for this blood.
He wasn't going to accept my retreat and he lunged. I knew I couldn't fight, so I did the only thing I could think of, I used my power. I sent out a massive wave of lethargy and he slumped to the ground. The bloodlust over powered me again.
I looked at his slumped body, no I would not kill him. However, I would finish the girl, I concluded in my head, slowly stalking back to the house.
EMMETT POV (Just after Jasper leaves Alice)
I couldn't imagine anything more heavenly. My Rosie had her head in my lap while I was running my finger through her hair. I loved the rare times that she would let me do that. I took a moment to look around. Jasper and Alice had gone for a run somewhere.
Edward was standing at the bottom of the stairs bouncing on his heels like a little girl.
He stopped and glared at me before he started up again.
Alice suddenly burst through the door and into his open arms. Rosalie sat up and we looked at each other, confused.
By the time we looked back, we saw Alice pressed against the wall, moaning as Edward kissed her.
"WHAT THE FUCK?"
They both looked at me shocked. Edward dropped Alice from her position against the wall adn they both straightened themselves out, before holding hands again. I was furious, how dare they do this to Jasper.
Alice spoke, "Me and Jasper just split up. I'm with Edward now. We love each other." Edward nodded at her side. What the hell? Wasn't there supposed to be like a one week cooling period before you started dating your ex's brother? I was livid. What on earth made Jasper let her go?
"Where does that leave Jasper?" Rosalie hissed. She was just as pissed as I was. She was close to Jasper, they had been 'twins' for a long time. "Actually, where is he right now?"
"He had to go for a hunt. He hasn't been in over a week," Alice whispered.
"How could this happen? You guys were soul mates, you were bound to each other." I was extremely confused.
"We weren't, not really. We just pretended like we were. It made more sense if we faked it. We must have done well because you all believed us, even Edward."
"We will all talk about this when Jasper gets home."I growled. If Jasper was hurt in any way, if he didn't want any of this, there would be hell to pay. Me and Jasper were best friends and I would protect him.
That's it for the first chapter. I hope you've liked it soo far. At the moment it's just the break up and then the next couple of chapters the recovering. Then in about two chapters, they will be moving to Forks which is were everything interesting happens.
