"I'm sorry, Bella." I heard Jasper whisper as Rosalie and Emmett dragged him outside, with Alice tagging along behind them.
Edward closed his eyes and walked outside without looking me in the eyes.
"Oh, honey! I'm so sorry! I never meant for this to happen!" Esme sobbed as Carlisle helped me up. I stood up mechanically, not caring that my armwas on fire, and let him lead me into his study to fix up my arm.
I knew from then on that Jasper wasn't the one attacking me, no; he was saving me from...Edward. I owe Jasper my life. But, how did he resist my blood when Edward could barely control himself?

Chapter 2 - Revelations
0o Alice's Point Of View o0
Well, this night couldn't have gone any better. Yeah right. How am I supposed to tell the family that Bella is Jasper's mate right after she was nearly killed? How did I not see this happening?!
I mean, I should have expected something like this, considering that Bella is a danger magnet 24/7 and always getting herself into trouble.
Luckily, she is on her way home with Edward, arm all stitched up and safe and sound...I hope.
I'm just waiting for him to return so that I can get this huge burden off of my chest. I don't know how he or the family will react, to be honest, but I do know they have to be told. I could see the pull that Jasper felt toward Bella tonight; I could also see it in Bella too. That pull, that lasso around both of their hearts, pulling them to one another, will eventually lead them to who they are supposed to be with. Whether they are right next to each other, or if they live in different galaxies- fate will bring them together...eventually.
I am lying in mine and Jasper's bed at the moment, dreading the fact that it probably won't belong to US anymore. God, I already know how he's going to react. He's going to feel happy. He'll know what he is feeling about her is really real and will want to be with her. He and Edward may very well kill each other tonight. Oh God help me!
As I lay here picturing my future without the person who I believed to be the love of my life, I hear a car traveling up our driveway and toward the house. That's when my dead, un-beating heart starts racing. Everyone is downstairs in the living room conversing amongst themselves, not even aware that I'm about to drop a huge bomb on them
As Edward gets closer to the house, I can see he is making his mind up about something. I keep searching for his future and am shocked at what he has in store for our family tonight. I don't think I'll be able to stop him and a part of me doesn't want to because I want Jasper to be mine forever. This is an impossible situation and an even worse decision that we all need to make.
I finally get up and walk downstairs slower than my normal hyper speed. I am dreading what is about to happen. I see Edward enter the living room and immediately, I have to stop him.
"Edward, wait! I need to say something to all of you first," I announced sternly, surveying everyone in the room.
Their heads snap to my direction, waiting for what I need to tell them. Taking a deep breath, I start at the beginning.
"I had a vision of the future…" I began, mentally slapping myself.
Duh Alice, they already know that you can see the future, just get on with it!
"Bella and Jasper… well… they are true mates." I look down at the floor, expecting lightning to come down and strike me where I stand because I feel like I just brought about an apocalypse with the way Edward was glaring at me.
"This sure is an interesting turn of events." Carlisle says in his controlled tone.
"Yes. Unfortunately, Jasper and Bella are meant to be and…" I am cut off immediately.
"Enough!" Edward growls. "This cannot be happening. Bella is mine and I will not have her in danger by you!" He jabs a finger in Jasper's direction.
"Danger because of me?! You conceited jerk! I was saving her from you! She has never been in danger because of me, or anyone else here. Yet, you keep her away from us as much as possible because you claim that we cannot control ourselves. You are the one that is drawn to the smell of her blood so heavily. Not me or anyone else here for that matter!" Jasper yells angrily in Edward's face, not backing down in true Major fashion. He definitely hasn't lost his ability to demand authority, that's for sure.
"Bella is mine! You need to stay away from her. I won't let you corrupt her! You have been with countless women, killed hundreds, if not thousands of people, and you cannot be trusted in the slightest." Edward says, almost calm now. I know what he's planning and I don't know if I can stop him.
Jasper's POV
As this arrogant asshole yells at me, I'm trying my hardest not to rip his head off and turn him into ash.
Holy shit.
I'm just registering this now. Bella and I are true mates, meant to be and destined to be together until the end of time. Wow, that is something new to digest. I can't believe it. That pull in my chest I feel whenever she's around makes sense now. The feelings that get from her whenever I am around her make sense too.
I turn away from Edward, who is yammering on about us leaving Bella, which I will not be doing, no matter what the rest of the family decides, and look directly into Alice's sad eyes. I love her, I really do. We have been together for quite some time. Our relationship isn't as great as everyone thinks it is. She and I are never intimate, not like Rose and Emmett anyway. I don't want to hurt her by being with Bella, but I need to do what my heart needs me to do.
"Alice, may I please speak with you alone?" I asked her quietly as Jerkward raves on about leaving Bella.
She nods at me and we walk outside, out of the yard, and into the forest, leaving the house and murmurs of our family talking behind.
"Jasper, I know what you are going to say. I am planning to draw up the divorce papers in the next couple of days. I know that our relationship hasn't exactly been easy the past ten years or so, and now I know why. It's because we weren't meant to be. You were meant to be with Bella." She starts to sob tearlessly at the end of her speech. I couldn't help but wrap my arms around her protectively- it was instinctive.
"Alright. If you want, I'll go with you to draw up the papers since this will be an amicable split. I love you Alice, I always will, just not in the way that I love her. I've felt this need for her ever since we met, I just didn't know what it was. Thank you for telling us, for telling me. I really needed to know about it. Don't be sad darlin'. We will still be in each other's lives." I soothed whilst stroking her spiky hair.
"I know Jazz. I love you too and I'll miss you. I hope that I can find my true mate one day. Don't worry about Edward either; he'll get over it, eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I don't see him getting over it anytime in the near future though." She gave me a little chuckle and pulled herself closer to me.
"It'll be alright Alice. We will figure this all out." Just then, I hear a lot of shouting coming from the house. It sounds like Rose is giving Edward hell for me. God, how I love my sister. Alice and I look at each other once more as I feel the pure sadness and loss radiating off of her. I can't help but be saddened by this.
We both race to the house to hopefully calm everyone down enough to discuss things rationally.
