I do not own any of the characters mentioned and used in this story. They all belong to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
It had been a year since they had left and I had to say that I was holding myself together pretty well. Sure at first things were a little tougher than I thought they would be but I had lost my first love. I had started keeping a journal for my thoughts and I found that over time the nightmares faded and I was able to breathe easier and to move on from things. I even considered dating again now that I had let go of everything. That was until now.
I stared into the blood red eyes of my once golden eyed friend and I didn't know what to think or to say to him and I was more surprised than terrified. What had happened to him after they left me? Did his one slip with me lead to a chain reaction and he cave into his old ways? I couldn't control my lips as they curled around his name both like a prayer and a curse.
"Jasper."
I made to move towards him with my hands stretched out in front of me and he gave a low growl and I looked down to notice the blood dripping down my palm. "Shit, sorry. I forgot." I kneeled down to rub my hand in the grass in hopes to remove the offender and was taken by surprise when his hand was there holding my wrist.
"You'll infect it if you do that," he said through gritted teeth. He was trying not to breath. He didn't want to hurt me even though those bright red eyes screamed death. I moved to lean forward and he was gone to the other side of the meadow again.
I looked at my hand again and felt a little sick in doing so. I could only take so much blood and it was still bleeding. Taking a deep breath I closed my eyes and proceeded to pretend that it wasn't there. Without opening them I addressed the blonde vampire on the other end of the field in a soft whisper.
"Why are you here Jasper?"
He was back beside me in a matter of seconds and shook his head. "Later," he said and then scooped me into his arms. Before I could protest we were on the move. I didn't know where we were going but I knew that he wasn't breathing. He wasn't willing to risk my life and I didn't understand why not. I kept my eyes closed and when I heard the opening and closing of a door I finally opened them enough to see us in the old Cullen home. He didn't stop in the entrance but went straight to Carlisle's old office and placed a First Aid kit in front of me and left the room.
I took the hint and I quickly cleaned and dressed the wound I had received and took off my shirt so that I could keep the blood away from him. Lucky for me I decided last minute to put on my decent camisole. I move to go out the door and ran right into him, which didn't help my coordination and I nearly fell to the floor but his hands caught me before I made contact.
"Let's talk," he said simply and turned me around to send me to sit in the chair behind the desk even though I would have really preferred to be somewhere not so confined as this office, but I sat nonetheless.
"So what brings you here Jasper?"
"I don't know," he said taking a seat in the chair across from me. "I've been traveling for a while and I don't really remember much, or at least there's not much I really want my thoughts to linger on and then it was like I woke up from a bad dream and there you were bleeding. Why were you in the meadow bleeding?"
I looked down feeling the embarrassment washing over me in a huge tidal wave that almost threatened to drown me. "I was saying good bye." I kept my eyes down and then gave a dark laugh. "And I wasn't really expecting the company of a red eyed vampire at the time."
"Saying good bye?"
I looked up and my heart stopped when I saw the sadness swimming there in his red eyes. "Why does that make you upset? I was just telling Edward good bye. I moved on. I'm ready to move on and start a new life without him."
He relaxed and nodded, "Oh that makes sense. Why were you bleeding?"
I rolled my eyes, "Klutzy Bella, remember? I tripped over a branch or three on my way and cut myself I guess. I forgot about it when I saw you because well, I haven't seen or heard from any of you and well, your eyes are red." I left the sentence hanging there a half statement half demand for an explanation. When he said nothing I sighed, "What went wrong?"
