A/N: Hey there, so here is my second Jaspenor fic, this time it isn't one-shot but a multichapter and the timeline of this story is set little after the season 2 finale.

Eleanor told Jasper to leave, and he did. She hasn't heard from him since. This fic is a bit angsty, and it deals with the inner struggles that Eleanor is going through and the influence that Jasper has over her. Both characters are explored individually and as a couple, because they have their own insecurities and demons they have to fight in order to make things work as the fate intervenes once again.

"He never loved you, he never cared. He used you, just like I did. Why would anyone love you? They pretend to care just because of your title, without it, you would be nobody."

"Stop it, Mandy!" Eleanor screamed. "You are lying, he came back!"

"So, where is he now? Now? Now? Now? Her voice echoed.

Eleanor sat on her bed; she had just woken up from another nightmare.

She ran her hands over her face, breathing heavily, covered in sweat.

She was alone. She had no one to calm her down.

He wasn't there, standing outside her door. No, he left, he was gone, just like she asked him to. He didn't call. He didn't write. He wasn't there in the crowed nightclubs looking after her. He didn't stalk her in the midnight hours when she walked through the Paris streets alone. He wasn't there to support her. He wasn't there to hurt her. He was God knows where doing God knows what.

She thought that when he leaves, it will clear her mind. She will be able to let go. To forget. But ironically, since he left, he's been the only thing on her mind. It was even worse than before. His cold blue eyes haunting her every time she closed hers. No amount of booze, drugs or boys could erase his face from her memory.

It is going to take some time. I will forget soon. I will get over him someday. Those were the lies she told herself when the emptiness became unbearable. Every night a different nightmare, leaving her devastated.

"Len?" Liam's voice was clear and concerned.

"What?"

" I just came to say goodbye, I couldn't leave knowing that you are still in this state. Are you sure you don't want to come to Monaco with me?".

" I don't know what you are talking about, and no thanks, I'm not really in a mood for that."

"Come on Lenny, we both know what is going on here."

Eleanor refused to look in his eyes because she felt her own tearing up.

"You miss him."

"Miss whom?"

Liam was just about to open his mouth when Eleanor interrupted him.

"Don't you dare say his name!"

"Okay, but you should know, what he told me before he left."

He saw that he caught Eleanor's attention.

"I asked him why he was leaving, and he told me that for the first time he is actually doing what you wish. I didn't understand why he would leave without a fight. He said that being with you was the best time of his life and also the worst. He never felt so happy yet so devastated before. That his feelings mean apparently nothing to you and he is done hurting you. That you deserve someone better anyways.

She was silent so he continued.

He said that sometimes we have to do what is best for those we love, even if it sucks for us. Just like I sacrificed myself for Ophelia... and I understood.

She almost shivered at the word love.

Was it even possible that Jasper Frost was in love with her?

Tears raced down Eleanor's face uncontrollably.

"I know that he hurt you and lied to you, but you changed him, you made him a better man for sure. And something tells me that his feelings don't mean nothing to you."

"It's harder than I thought," she managed to reply.

"Can I ask you something Lenny?"

She nodded.

"Don't you regret telling him to go?"

"It doesn't make sense, I shouldn't, but I do."

"Remember what Robert used to say?"

Eleanor smiled.

"Math and love never make sense."

"He was so drunk when he said that," she laughed at the memory of her brother.

"It doesn't make it less true. What do you have to lose? Just give it a shot, you deserve to be happy."

"I don't even know where he is."

"Luckily for you, I do."

Eleanor's eyes sparkled.

"Jasper said that he will go back to America when he has enough of money to start over. I know where he works now."

"He's still in the UK?"

"Very much."

"Here is the address, do what you want with it."

He took out a little piece of paper out of his jean pocket. Then kissed her on her forehead.

"I will call you when I land."

He was almost gone when she told him to stop.

"Liam, thank you."

"I am always there looking out for you Len. And I like Jasper, he might be a little complicated but that is something that you both share," He smirked.

"Hey!" Eleanor threw a pillow at him but she missed, and as he was leaving she could still hear his laughter from the hall.

Eleanor stared blankly at the address.

She took a quick shower, did her hair and makeup, and wore her new black dress.

"James?"

"Yes, your highness?"

"I need to take care of something, by myself. Please, could you stay in the car?"

Her pleading eyes worked on him.

"Okay, Princess, ill wait here. In case of an emergency...

Foxie, I've had bodyguards since I can remember, I know how this works.

She got out of the car and entered the casino.

How creative, she thought.

But then it hit her. Why was she even there? She didn't even know what she would say if she saw him. This was a bad idea. Why did she feel the need to run to him when she found out that he was still in the city? Liam's words echoed in her mind. His love doesn't mean anything to you...

She was the one who sent him away. Pushed him away. Her mind was telling her that he was not to be trusted. And yet there she was, all dressed up.

"Len! What are you doing here?" Ashok greeted her.

"Oh, um nothing, I just feel very lucky today. I thought I could use that here."

"Why don't you join us?"

And then she saw him. Suit and tie, just like she remembered him. But instead of his usual controlling, arrogant look he looked rather paralyzed as their eyes met. He whispered something to the other security guy and walked away.

"Uh... I have to go freshen up, be right back", Eleanor said and went Jaspers direction.

He didn't see her, so she followed him. He was heading to the back doors of the casino, she was hiding behind the corner and when she heard the door slam she knew that space was clear.

She stood there for a while, then took a deep breath and opened the door. He was sitting on the stairs.

"Running away from the princess, bodyguard?
