So is everybody pissed Charlie? I must warn you, this chapter doesn't get any nicer father figures... Don't worry it will be okay.

JPOV

It's been maybe five months since we left Bella and only Alice and Edward seem

okay. Esme and Carlisle both sank into a depression only parents can feel when their

child is gone. Emmett misses his little sister. He and Bella would spend sometimes days

playing video games or just talking with each other. Now it's hard to get him to do anything. Emmett no longer laughs or even smiles for anyone but Rosalie and even

then it's a small smile. Rose who couldn't stand to be near Bella, now misses her

tremendously. She was unnerved with Edward's obsession and thought she could

protect Bella by scaring her off. Now she wished she could see her one more time to tell

her she's sorry. On the opposite side Alice said she was happy that we finally left Bella,

because Bella was just trashy and hated shopping. Edward said that he was happy she

would move on with her life and that she wasn't meant for him. Because of this Rosalie

and Emmett have refused to speak with them and will even leave the room if they are

there. But lastly there was me. I miss Bella, like I'd miss a part of my body or a family

heirloom that was irreplaceable.

The house was a boring pot of emotional turmoil and I for one could no longer

stand to be anywhere near it. My wife no longer held any love for me. My Alice had

changed. She blamed me for what happened at the party and convinced the family of

that too. Rose and Emmett had both shrugged it off and went on with life, the others, not

so much. Carlisle and Esme blamed me for the loss of their youngest daughter. Under

normal circumstances I would have rushed to defend myself, but ever since we left

Forks, a huge hole has punched itself through my dead heart. I knew that I was missing

something but what?

So I was doing what I did everyday. Sitting in my study, in our Alaskan house,

staring out the window to the southeast. I didn't know why I looked southeast, but I

always did. But here I sat looking out at a bunch of trees when Alice danced her way

over to me. She didn't say anything to me, ignoring me as usual and reached for my

wallet. But today seemed different some how, for this time I stopped her. My hand

clasped around her small wrist and moved it away from my pockets.

"Only if you ask Alice,mk am I going to give you money." I said mockingly. Alice

huffed and turned away, leaving the door open on her way out. I felt no need to get up

and close it like I usually would have done, but instead left it open and continued

watching out the window. I could hear footsteps stopping outside my door, but I never

bothered to turn around to see who it was.

"Jasper," the sweet motherly voice of Esme drifted to my ears. "May Carlisle and

I come in?"

"Sure." I answered back sadly. I turned my attention way from the window with a

slight twinge in my heart and faced my "parents". The sadness and pain was still

prominent on my face, because Esme's eyes filled with tears that would never fall.

Carlisle seemed indifferent, still believing Alice over me. Esme however, I think, could

finally tell how broken I was and I let her.

"Oh Jasper. I'm so sorry. What kind of mother am I?" Esme wailed. I moved

silently over to her and wrapped her in a hug or at least tried. She moved until she was

hugging me, apologizing over and over again. I had to use my gift to calm her down a

little but eventually she loosened her grip on me and pulled back slightly as to look me

in the eyes.

"Come on Jasper. You and I will go hunting. You need it. Your eyes are pitch

black." Esme's voice was back to it's sweet and naturally kind self. One only a mother

could pull off. I let her help me up and then we took off for the forest just outside my

window. We ran for a few more minutes and then both went after a group of grizzly

bears. Emmett was going to be disappointed about missing them. After taking three of the five and leaving the other two for Esme to have, I set off in pursuit of a heard of elk.

Esme soon caught up with me and took down a couple of elks as well. No words were

spoken on our little trip but I could feel Esme's emotions. Regret, sorrow and self-

hatred. She felt disappointed in herself for some reason. So we ran back to the house in

silence, which if you asked me was hell. Pure hell. Usually small talk took the edge off

of the emotions. When we walked into the house we found everyone congregated in the

living room. Esme moved past me and sat down next to Carlisle on the couch with

Edward on the other end and Alice at her feet. Rosalie and Emmett took up the love

seat. I stood behind Emmett and Rosalie with my hands behind my back in a very

military position. Force of habit really. Carlisle cleared his throat unnecessarily and

began the family meeting.

"I think that enough is enough. We are all sick and depressed without Bella and

by we I mean all of us but Edward and Alice." Carlisle said there was a chorus of

agreement that went around the room. A change in his demeanor from earlier.

"Oh Carlisle, I hate to have lead all of you to think that I don't miss Bella," Edward

pipped in. "I miss Bella very much, but I have been trying to move on with my life like

Bella would want me to." Emmett snorted at Edward and then stood up and started

pacing.

"Em. Babe. I know you miss Bella and want to see her but first we need to work

this out." Rosalie said trying to get her mate to stay calm. I knew why he was so

emotional. He missed his sister and he knew that Edward just spout a fucking crock of

shit. Just then Wonder-boy growled at me. Carlisle stood up and settled us down before

taking the stage again. However Emmett stepped back up before he could speak.

"I don't care," Emmett started. "I know this family. We'll vote. Well here's my vote.

I'm going back. With or without this family. I'm gonna convince Bella to be my sister and

that is going to be that."

"We can't go back," Alice spoke. "We'll ruin her future if we go back. She is finally

happy without us." I quirked an eyebrow at her. I felt the deceit in her. She lied. So to

make sure nothing happened in her favor I pushed suspicion into the rest of the family,

who eyed Alice carefully. Emmett full on glared.

"What do you mean?" the big lug challenged. His arms bulging as he crossed

them over his chest.

"She is not meant for this world. She belo..."

"Bullshit," Emmett interrupted. "That is absolute bullshit. We all know that she

was made for the vampire world otherwise she would of had an actual sense of self

preservation."

"Emmett I understand your loyalty to Bella, even though it is completely

unwarranted.."

Alice didn't get to finish the sentence before Emmett had her by the neck up

against the wall. The look of pure rage didn't even add up to what he was feeling. Guilt,

rage, anger, sadness, hatred, self-loathing. The list could probably gone on but I

understood why. I turned my attention back to my brother, not even feeling the

obligation to go and help my wife. Emmett got right Alice's ear.

"Bella warrants every ounce of loyalty and devotion by people around her

because she is the most caring, unselfish and kind hearted human being I have ever

met. I don't think you grasp that concept Alice. She deserves more than any of us here. Well except Jasper. Jasper is in the same boat." Emmett said and at the end of his

speech dropped my wife to the ground.

"Jasper? Jasper is a monster. A killer, murderer. He is the reason we are in this

mess." Edward said trying to defend his sister. I lowered my head and unclasped my

hands from behind my back. I felt terrible. I was disgusted with myself. I had always

hated my self. My years with Maria came back. The dark and terrible emotions seeped

back in and I couldn't take it anymore. I sank to my knees and let out a harsh tortured

scream. Esme jumped at the sound. Rosalie flew to her feet and rushed over to me and

fell to her knees. She pulled me to her and held me, rocking me like she had done

countless times before. She was my sister in every way except blood. She knew

everything about me and I her. Only Emmett understood our bond as brother and sister

and didn't interfere. Rose just sat with me shushing me as she rocked me back and

forth. My cries and screams seemed to lessen a bit but the emotions still clung to me

like a lance through my undead heart. It hurt. The pain was overwhelming. Rose tried

everything she could to push happy emotions into me. But nothing prevailed. I was

sinking deeper and deeper into the blackness.

"Jazz? Jazzy look at me." Rose cooed. She pushed back a bit of my hair that had

fallen into my face. Tears filled my eyes, but they couldn't fall. None of us could actually

cry.

"Rosie," Emmett said to his mate. "Do you think you can get him out of this one?"

Emmett and Rose both knew that when I went into my cycles very little could get me

out. The smaller ones Rose usually could get me to come back to normal. This one

wasn't small.

"I don't think so. Call him. I'll keep Jazz as close to the surface as possible."

My heart broke as I heard my brother. He, like me, rarely cried in front of anyone

and to let out a scream like that wasn't good. I rushed over to him as fast as I could go,

thankful he was only a few feet away. I held him like I always did. The sadness and the

self hatred he was projecting flew through me like I was dunked in a freezing cold.

Colder than me. I held my brother to me and rocked him. I always have since he told me

how he remembered his human mother rocking him when he was upset. So I took to

doing it. It seemed to help considerably. I asked Jasper to look at me, but he refused. I

knew that this was a bad cycle. Possibly one of his worst. There was no way that I could

get him out of this alone. Emmett went to call in our reinforcements. Mainly Peter and

Char, Jasper's brother and sister. Esme looked on terrified for her son and then looked

at Carlisle. Carlisle was too busy chatting away with Eddie and Malice to notice his mate

in distress. That needed to change.

"Esme, come here." I almost ordered. I felt bad but now wasn't the time. She

came over slowly and then sat next to Jasper. She watched him fight himself with tears

in her eyes. Edward looked over at us.

"Mother, why would you even think of going near some one as evil and

monstrous as Jasper." Edward sneered. I growled at him loudly, which jumped Esme. I

gave her a quick sorry and then looked back at Edward.

"Shut the fuck up pussy. He is twice the man you are. One more bad word out of

you and I'll fucking rip you to shreds." I hissed. Jasper whimpered, capturing my attention again and I resumed rocking him. Alice turned her nose up at her husband and flounced out of the room, passing Emmett on the way back in.

"What did he say?" I asked, keeping my tone soft. Emmett rubbed his left cheek,

something he did when he was worried or stressed. That wasn't a good sign. Emmett

usually didn't worry or get stressed so it was rare to see him do that. I rubbed Jasper's

shoulder soothingly, whispering to him.

"We'll get though this Jazzy. You and me we gotta stick together. We're family." I

said. From there, Jasper, Emmett and I retreated to Jazz's study only going into the

living room when the others had left. Emmett went hunting for me and Jasper, bringing

us back containers by the dozen full of wildlife. He kept us fed while Jasper screamed

and cried. After just a few hours Carlisle, Alice and Edward were sick of it and dragged

Esme with them up to the Denali's house. So we had the house to ourselves. It was our

house with the feeling of sadness. On the beginning of day four, the door banged open.

Emmett rushed off to see who it was, when a voice rang out.

"Where is he? Where's Jasper?" I was shocked to hear the voice. Emmett must

have felt the same because we both whispered the same name.

"Bella."

Ahhhh. Cliffy. But Bella found the Cullens... More specifically Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie... What do you thinks gonna happen? More to come soon. Please let me know what you think...
