I got such a great response to Jealousy and many requests for a sequel, so here it is.
Bella sat in the corner of the shower. Tears flowed freely down her face to be washed away by the scalding hot water. The steam clouded the room and the water was quickly turning her flesh red. Bruises from Jasper's hands stood out already on her hips. Her stomach was tossing and her neither region throbbed. Her mind was reeling, what was she going to do? She couldn't tell anyone, let alone Alice. Jasper would kill her and what if Alice didn't believe her? Another fifteen minutes had passed when Bella finally stepped from the shower. She wrapped a towel around herself and wiped off the mirror. Her eyes were so bloodshot, they matched her skin. She still heard the television going as she quickly dressed into a pair of jeans and a baggy sweatshirt. She put her hair back into a pony-tail then opened the bathroom door.
Bella almost screamed. Jasper was standing on the other side of the door staring at her. His eyes were cold. "Remember what I told you, Bella." Bella looked down at the floor and nodded. "Why Jasper?" She whispered. "I thought we were friends." Jasper smiled cruelly. "We are friends…as far as anyone else knows. I did it because I could and I enjoyed it. We'll have to do it again sometime." Bella gasped and her startled eyes met his. "No..." She started but just then, the hotel room door opened. Alice was back. "Come sit next to me. And Remember, not one word." Jasper hissed. He turned and with Bella close behind, walked to the sitting room and sat beside Jasper on the couch. "Hey, guys." Alice said cheerfully. She wiped absent-mindedly at her mouth. Alice looked over at Bella. "You changed your clothes?" Bella nodded and forced a small smile.
One Month Later
Bella lay on her back in her bed. Carslie had done a good job with the broken leg James had given her in the Ballet Studio. Charlie filtered in and out of her room constantly throughout the day bringing painkillers, soup, and magazines. When it wasn't Charlie, it was Edward or Emmett. Bella was glad that Edward hadn't sent Jasper to check in on her. She still hadn't told anyone what had happened that day in the Hotel. Twice she had almost told Edward but the image of Jaspers face and his warning never left her thoughts. It was two in the morning and Bella lay silently trying to fall asleep. Her leg was itchy and she couldn't reach it. She was about to hobble out of bed and get a wire hanger when Edward climbed suddenly appeared at her window. Bella smiled as he climbed through and into the bedroom. He hurried to kiss her and Bella welcomed his touch. As a second figure appeared in her window, Bella gasped and she froze in Edwards arms. "What's wrong?" Edward asked instantly concerned. He looked towards Jasper who now stood at the foot of Bella's bed gazing back at Bella. "Yes Bella," Jasper echoed. "What's wrong?" He kept his eyes locked on hers but fought to keep his voice casual.
"Nothings wrong." Bella said slowly. "Jasper just startled me." "My family and I have business to attend to. Emmett picked up on the scent of Victoria and we are going to track her down." Bella shiver at the thought of the Cullen's in a fight with Victoria. "We can't leave you alone, so Jasper's going to stay with you." Bella's eyes widened and before she could stop herself, Bella cried "No!" Both men looked at her. Bella kept her eyes on Edward. "I mean you'll need all the help you can get. I'll be fine alone." Edward shook his head slowly. "You know I can't do that." Before Bella could respond, Edward had kissed her one last time and was gone. Bella slowly raised her eyes to Jasper's. He smiled coldly.
