Jasper's Pov.
There was a time when my family was extremely happy.
Before the birthday party, the birthday party I ruined.
It was difficult, seeing my family so out of sorts, my parents, for all intents and purposes,
We're devastated,, especially Esme. She missed her daughter more than anything.
Alice and Emmett were the ones that missed her most though.
Emmett missed the little sister he had grown to love and care for,
And Alice missed her best friend.
The loss of Bella caused a rift between all of us that still hasn't been mended.
I never realised how bad it was until I got back from a hunt one morning and was handed divorce papers as soon as I walked through the door.
I decided to leave after that, I didn't want to make it awkward for Alice so I stayed with my good friends Peter and Charlotte. They've always hated Alice, but they love the rest of the Cullen's like family. That was 3 years ago and nothing much has changed. I spend a lot of time with the Cullen's but it never feels right. Not without Bella.
Tonight, I'm out at the bar with Peter, Charlotte, Garrett and his mate Kate. We're all out celebrating Charlotte officially graduating college. She's always wanted to be beautician so Peter pushed her to go to college to earn her degree. And he made the right decision, she had the time of her life and made some new friends along the way. We were all sat around a table in the middle of the seating area sipping jack Daniels and chatting about "the good old days" as Peter liked to call it, when I saw her.
She was stood against the far wall with a group 20 something years olds doing shots and playing pool. I could tell she was already 3 sheets to the wind, and she looked like she was having a good time. So, I figured I should go and say hello.
Excusing myself from my table I carefully manoeuvred myself around the tables and made my way over to the other side of the room.
She turned around just as I got there and she stood and stared at me for a little while before a small smile graced her face.
"Hello Jasper, long time no see".
I little grin came to face, despite not knowing her very well before, I had missed her like crazy.
"Hey Bella"
