Chapter One-

It all had happened so fast. In one single moment, one single breathe, my world came crashing down. I suspected that it was bound to happen for awhile now, but I never wanted to come to terms with it. When I looked in and saw my Jasper holding hands and kissing my best friend Isabella, I had no regards for anything anymore, I just wanted to curl up into a little ball and die. It was at that moment that I knew that I had to get away, that I had to go back to Virginia or something, just get away from Forks completely. I ran out of the house, not stopping for anything, not even when Carlisle tried to say something to me. It had all become so apparent and even my life at that point had sickened me. I slowly sank into the driver's seat of my car and sped off, tears rolling down my cheeks, unchecked and unchallenged. I had taken a chance falling in love with Jasper, I had been hurt, kicked when I was down, and lied to, but I did not want to believe that he would do anything to me. When I got home, I just ran upstairs, ignoring my mother calling my name from the kitchen. I threw myself onto my bed and just continued to cry. Moments later, I felt a cold touch on my back and my first thought was Jasper and then the thought came Vampire or not, I am going to kill the bastard.

"Well then, you are going to have an extremely hard time killing me since for one, I am a vampire and for second, I'm not him," A silky voice said rubbing circles into my shaking back.

It was Edward. I turned around and looked into his face, pain and sorrow clearly etched into every line. I did not mean to threaten Edward, and my face must have shown bewilderment because at that moment, he gave me a crooked smile and that helped to calm me down.

"I....I'm....I'm sorry Edward. I thought you were...." I managed to choke out before he cut me off.

"You thought I was Jasper," He said silently, sitting on my bed staring at me and the tears staining my face, "I may not be able to read Bella's mind, but I can still read yours. And all the pain located within it."

I silently nodded and turned back around, Edward began rubbing my back again in a comforting manner. "I'm not him and I can not understand why he would hurt someone that he clearly had so much love for. The same thought occurs to me with Bella..." When he said her name, I let out a small and vicious hiss, making Edward laugh. "I had been told that you had quite the temper, now I can see it truly."

"Why me Edward? Why when he knew all that I had went through, why would he do this to me?" I said and the tears started flowing again.

He said nothing. He just slowly picked me up and set me onto his lap so that my head was resting against his chest and he started rocking me back and forth, humming a small tune to help calm me down. I don't think that Edward ever said much, unless he was threatening Emmett (which just so happened to be one of my favorite pastimes as well), about flirting with Bella. The thought crossed my mind on whether Bella had ever been with Emmett and maybe that was why Rosalie was so hostile to her and not to me. Edward must have heard my inquisitve thought because he shook his head slowly and went back to humming. I cried silently into his chest while he just continued to rock me. At that moment, my cell phone, began ringing "I'm Only Me When I'm With You" by Taylor Swift....Jasper, the damn Texan. I slowly looked up at Edward and he reached over, grabbed my phone and flipped it open.

"Sandra darlin', talk to me please. I know that you saw Bella and I earlier, I just want to explain it darlin'. I love you so much and I don't want to lose you," Jasper said, sadness and guilt in his voice, a voice that broke my heart all over again, if that was even possible at this point.

"You hurt her and yet you continue to try to inflict even more pain. Don't you know what hearing your voice does to her?" Edward practically screamed over the phone at Jasper. I heard my mother running up the stairs to see what was the matter.

"Mon chere, I heard yelling, what's....oh, hello Edward, what are you doing in my daughter's room?" My mother said softly, a slight tint of anger emphasizing her last three words.

"He is here trying to make me smile mama, nothing is going to happen. I will explain it all later." I said to my mother, offering a small smile, which is all I could offer.

My mother eyed me skeptically, "All right sweetheart, but if I hear anything happening up here, I will not hesitate to call your father." She said returning a small smile. I had always loved my mother's smile, so beautiful and elegant.

"I know mama, nothing will happen." I said reassuringly as I looked at her, standing there with a dish rag in her hand and the other hand on her hip. My mother could be covered in dirt and she would still be the most beautiful woman in the world. I sometimes wondered how someone that beautiful could have given birth to someone as ugly as me.

"Do not worry Mrs. Stuart, I would never dream of dishonoring your daughter," Edward said soothingly, my mother noticeably calming down with his words.

"Merci, Edward," My mother said leaving the room and going downstairs to resume cleaning last night's dinner dishes.

When my mother left, I heard Jasper's voice start again "Edward, I want to talk to Sandra."

Edward then proceeded to hang up the phone and went back to having both arms wrapped around me cradling me softly as he returned to humming. I felt safe with Edward, I knew that he would not hurt me, or at least attempt not to. Why Bella ever gave up on this man, I'll never know. When I said that, his face grew dark and I tried to pull away, but he held me tighter. I guess something about me brought him some level of comfort, which is one more though I would never understand. I looked up into his face and he moved a strand of my light brown hair so that I could stare into his golden-brown eyes while he stared deep into my blue eyes.

"Just stay a little bit longer, please." I said to him and he just smiled in return and nodded his head.
