Jasper held me in his arms. His eyes closed but not sleeping. I heard Edward yell somewhere, and felt Jasper grip me tighter. All the anger in the house was making him crazy. I pulled him up.
"What is it Al?" He asked me.
"Come on, let's go for a walk."
I looked ahead into the future and saw Edward destroying the house again. Damn, Edward and his violent ways. I heard Esme crying in the living room. Just then Jasper picked me up and jumped from our window. I closed my eyes and leaned against him, breathing him in. No matter what, this was home.
"Al?" Jasper asked worried. I opened my eyes. He was staring at me strangely.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Why am I getting so much happiness from you?"
"Because I'm with you." I said and kissed his nose. He smiled at that.
"I'm too lucky to be with you."

Later
We heard a scream. It sounded like Rosalie's. Jasper's head shot up and he picked me up and began running. We reached the house in a few seconds. On the porch Rosalie sat over Emmett's body. On the lawn, Edward ran in th opposite direction. I jumped out of Jasper's arms.
"Jasper look after Emmett. I'll find Edward."
I saw Jasper open his mouth to complain, but I took off too quickly. Once I'd cleared the woods, I saw Edward slumped to the floor, sobbing.
"Edward?" I asked frightened. I have never, ever seen Edward lose control like this. Even when he first met Bella, he was reasonably well composed.
"Don't look at me." He groaned. Obviously hating that I was seeing him in this moment of weakness.
"It's okay Edward." I cooed. "Talk to me." He sobbed and I zipped to his side and sat down beside him. I put my arm around him. And he leaned into me like a small child, and sobbed.
"I have to leave, I have too." He repeated.
"Why?" I asked.
"Bella deserves a normal life." He sobbed.
"She doesn't want one though. She wants you." I tried to change his mind.
"She doesn't know whats he wants. She wants a family, children, to grow old with her husband." he moaned into my shoulder. I felt completely useless.
"You don't know that."
"Yes I do." He argues back. I sighed.
"What? You thinks she is just going to forget you like that?" He paused and then answered.
"No, but humans forget things, they get over things."
"What about you!"
"I don't deserve her. Not even a little bit."
"You are going to break her heart, Edward Cullen." I scolded angrily to him. "You are going to break you're own heart."
"I know, but she will forget faster." It was no use arguing with him so I moved on. I would have to stop this.
"What happened back by the house?" I asked him. He didn't answer."Edward?" I asked again. He sighed and sat up straight.
"Emmett, and I got in a fight. He said he wasn't leaving. He said that he loved Bella, like a sister, and that...that... he loved her more. So I hit him." I was shocked. "I was already mad to begin with. I'd already destroyed the house. I'll have to apologize to Esme, about that." With that he got up and said," Start packing. You're leaving tonight. I'm leaving tomorrow." I gasped.
"Edward No!" But he was already running towards the house.
