DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

I lay, curled up against Bella, could things get any better? I don't think so.
I cannot believe Edward and Alice have been sneaking behind our backs! Alice I understand, we've been drifting apart, I could tell she didn't love me like she used to, and I was okay with that. We still bonded, but as brother and sister, and not lovers. Edward, on the other hand… how could he?! This is the second time he's left the most precious girl in the world. My train of thought was interrupted by Bella, and her sleep-talking.
"…Edward, you lying idiot! HOW COULD YOU?!" She screamed, thrashing around. I sent calming waves her way, and she sighed, rolling over to snuggle into my chest.
"Thanks, Jasper…I love you, and would love to take up that offer." She sighed, while my un-beating heart swelled up to the size of my chest. I couldn't help it, I was falling in love. I looked down, and noticed she was finally back to sleeping, murmuring only slightly.

I was sitting in the living room, at the Cullens. I was in Jasper's lap, when all of sudden, Edward busted through the door. I couldn't help but notice his hand intertwined with Alice's. I immediately broke down sobbing, and started screaming through my tears:
"Edward, you lying idiot! HOW COULD YOU?! You slept with your sister, while we're engaged! You lied, no wonder you two always leave together!" "…and you!" I screamed while pointing at Alice… "You we're my best friend! What would possess you to sleep with my FIANCE?!" I proceeded to hurl my engagement ring at them.
All of a sudden, I realize I'm still on Jasper. He looked up to me, and gave me a quick kiss. "Bella, no matter what, I'll always love you. We can forget about the past, let's make a future, together…" I couldn't help but to throw my hands around him, completely ignoring the fact that Edward and Alice were right behind us. "Thanks Jasper…I love you, and would like to take up that offer."
I turned around to snuggle into Jasper's chest, and felt him kiss my forehead. Everything was going to be alright.

I went back on the events of today, again, in my mind. I replayed it over, and over, and over. Bella and I watching a movie together was perfect. She even let me put an arm around her. I'm just glad I have the control to do so. Good thing I worked so hard after that dreaded accident…
"Shoot," She murmured, when the paper sliced her finger; she pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. It all happened very quickly then.
"No!" Edward roared.
He threw himself at Bella, flinging her back against across the table. It fell, as did she, scattering the cake and the presents, the flowers and the plates. She landed in the mess of shattered crystals.
I slammed into Edward, and the sound was like the crash of boulders in a rock slide. There was another noise, a grisly snarling that seemed to be coming from deep inside my chest. I tried to shove past Edward, snapping my teeth just inches from Edward's face.
Emmett grabbed me from behind in the next second, locking me into his massive steel grip, but I struggled on, my wild, empty eyes focused only on Bella.
Beyond her shock, there was also pain, I could feel it. She'd tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with her arms thrown out instinctively to catch her fall, into the jagged shards of glass. Only now did she feel the searing, stinging pain that ran from her wrist to the crease inside her elbow.
Dazed and disoriented, she looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of her arm. Into the fevered eyes of us six, suddenly ravenous vampires.
Carlisle was the only one who stayed calm. Centuries of experience in the emergency room were evident in his quiet, authoritative voice.
"Emmett, Rose, get Jasper outside."
Unsmiling for once, Emmett nodded. "Come on, Jasper."
I struggled against his unbreakable grasp, twisting around toward my brother with my barred teeth, my eyes still past reason.
Edward's face was whiter than bone as he wheeled to crouch over Bella, a growl sliding from his clenched teeth. We could all tell he wasn't breathing.
Rosalie, her divine face strangely smug, stepped in front of me, keeping a careful distance from my teeth, and helped Emmett wrestle me through the glass door that Esme held open, one hand pressed over her mouth and nose.
Esme's heart-shaped face was ashamed. I'm so sorry, Bella," she cried as she followed the others into the yard."
After that, we all hunted, for what seemed like hours. When the sun finally rose, and fell again, Edward came back, and announced we were leaving. I felt absolutely horrible. This was all my fault. As a family, we decided Italy was best. I hated it there, I ran away, after I learned to control my thirst. I decided I would return to Forks, and look after Bella.
I tried to shoo the memory away, but it kept haunting me. I dreaded that period of time. I remember the day I realized my true feelings for Bella, too.
It was right after the newborns fight. All of us Cullens, including Bella, were seated in the living room. We were watching Titanic. Bella was curled up in Edward's lap, and I couldn't help but to feel a pang of jealousy. She was crying, the movie apparently, like all the others, brought her to tears. I looked at her, and smiled, and I heard her breath hitch. Edward heard it too, and instinctively leaned down to give her a kiss.
I realized at that moment that I, Jasper Whitlock-Hale, love Isabella Marie Swan.
That memory brought a smile to my face. I suddenly figured out how we were going to spend tomorrow. "I'm going to rent Titanic, and we can have a movie marathon, I'll rent some others too…" I thought, smiling.
I glance at the clock, and the fluorescent green clock tells me that it's 5:30 am. "Wow," I thought, "time sure does go by fast!"
I spent the rest of the early morning curled up about Bella, letting my mind wander aimlessly.
So… you like? Yes / No?

You know the drill… Review and I'll update!
Je vous aimes!
