A/N: So sorry for the delay. Been held up for so many reasons. Thank you so much for the reviews, I really appreciate all of it. Hope to hear more from you guys.

This is it! Let's see how the story went. :)

DISCLAIMER: Thank you, Stephanie Meyer for letting us use your Twilight characters. They're amazing!


After dashing out of Jasper's bathroom, Bella went to the side of Jasper's house and found her bike. She decided to use it instead of her truck. She doesn't want Jasper to hear her leave. When Jasper didn't stalk her in the bathroom, she decided that he really doesn't want her. He didn't say anything after everything she had confessed. If he doesn't want her, she doesn't want to hear it from him so she ran.

Bella doesn't know where she's going until she got near Rose's house. She dropped the bike at the front porch and knocked on the door. When the door opened, she threw her arms around Rosalie's neck and sobbed. Rose held Bella. She's surprised to see her in that condition. This time she's not sure why she was crying. She was positive that after last night's performance by Jasper everything will fall into place between her two best pals. She has been rooting for them since they were in diapers. She always wanted Bella to be her sister but being an only child, she doesn't have a brother that can marry her so she settled for cousin instead via Jasper.

She settled Bella on her couch. And asked her what happened. Bella told her everything starting with her first kiss with Jasper, her breakup with Edward, and her discussion with Jasper earlier.

"What do you mean he doesn't want you anymore, Bella? I thought he said he wants you?"

"He doesn't anymore. He didn't even say anything when I told him I'm in love with him. Besides, he thinks I'm only using him because I'm lonely."

"He said he doesn't want to take advantage of you, Bella." Rose argued. She wants to fix this. She's positive that it was all a misunderstanding.

"Rose, I'm emotionally drained right now. Let's not talk about this anymore. Please?" Bella really seemed tired. She looks like she has cried for days so Rose gave in.

Bella decided to stay over. She begged Rose not to tell Jasper where she is and surprisingly he hasn't contacted Rose yet. Bella's phone, on the other hand, hasn't stopped ringing. Both Jasper and Edward were calling her so she turned it off. Trying really hard to distract Bella, Rose started to quiz her for their History test later that week. They did everything that they can think of. They played Kinect Sports on Rose's Xbox, ate cold pizza, painted each other's nails, and shared a cigarette that Rose found at her father's study. Later that afternoon, they also decided to bake muffins. While the muffins were baking, they decided to watch a movie. Bella requested for something funny. Being a Jim Carey fan, Rose put The Mask on. Before the movie, Bella ran to the bathroom to relieve herself. Rose checked on the muffins and ordered Chinese food. While on the phone, she heard the door bell. Strolling to the door while ordering, she opened it.

"Rose, I screwed up. Please help me," he said looking on the ground.

"Jasper?" she gasped, surprised to see a fucked up Jasper with a possible bruise on his face and possibly drunk, too.

When Jasper found out that Bella left, he dashed out of his house and went to the garage. When he saw that Bella's truck was still on their driveway, he decided to search through the house perimeters. She couldn't have gotten far. He went to the open backyard and ran through the woods connected to it. He knows that Bella loved to wander at the woods. He found her there once when they were younger, playing hide and seek. She was amazed by the flowers growing on the meadow and forgot that they were playing and fell asleep there. He watched her sleep then and while he was watching her, he felt something was changing inside him… there were feelings that he can't explain. May be I was already in love with her then. He thought to himself.

When he didn't find her at the meadow, he went back to the house hoping that she went back there. He searched every inch of his house and neighboring surroundings while shouting her name. Growing frustrated, he took his phone and dialed her number but she did not pick up.

"Fuck!" He groaned.

He decided to take his jeep and drive to her house. When he got to her house, he knocked at her door but no one was opening so he pounded really hard. Still no answer. He decided to peek at her bedroom but found no one. He realized then that nobody's home. He went back to his jeep and drove away. He's trying to figure out where she could've gone. She has so many hiding places that he doesn't know where to start looking. Knowing how much she loved the beach, he made his way to the reservation hoping that someone has seen her. When he got there, he saw Leah, Jake, Seth, and Emily lurking at the parking area getting ready to hop on Jake's rabbit.

"Has any of you seen Bella?"

"Hey, Jazz. Sup, man?" Jake beamed at him and offered his hand. Jasper took it weakly and released it immediately.

"Please, I need to find Bella," he replied desperately.

"We haven't seen her since the party. But Edward's by the beach. May be he knows where she is," Leah suggested.

Jasper said his thanks and ran to where he saw Edward, slouched down by a fallen tree trunk looking at the water. When he got nearer, he slowed down and observed Edward. He knows that he and Bella just broke up so he wasn't sure how to approach him. He looks tired and weary. He noticed that there were beer bottles around him, three already consumed.

He stood beside him, looking straight at the water. "Isn't it too early for Guinness?"

Edward looked up, surprised to see Jasper. "Did you come here to gloat? She chose you, what more do you want?" He said with venom on his voice.

"I can't find her," Jasper said sadly slouching down beside Edward.

"What? It hasn't even been a day and you lost her already? I thought you want to be with her."

"I do. I fucked up." Jasper was looking at the ground not wanting Edward to see the shame on his face. Edward handed him a beer and they sat quietly for awhile.

When Jasper was almost finished with his bottle, Edward broke the silence. "I really love her, man. She changed my life in so many ways."

"Then why did you let her go? Why didn't you fight for your feelings?"

"Trust me, I did. I fought really hard but I realized that no matter how I tried, I cannot compete…" he trailed off.

"Compete with what?" Jasper asked when he didn't continue.

"With you.."

"What do you mean? I wasn't pursuing Bella while you were together? I respect your relationship with her," Jasper is now confused.

"Exactly! You're not even doing anything yet you're winning," Edward shook his head. "I had to compete for her to love me more than she loves you. When we got together I know that you two have a special bond that no one can break. I accepted that. She said that you were best friends but somehow I was never convinced, but I really liked her so I overlooked it. I was really happy every time that I'm with her and I know she was, too."

"Yes, she was."

Edward flinched when Jasper emphasized the word "was" but let it slide and continued. "The first time I told her that I loved her I was really nervous because I wasn't sure if she loves me back. So when she said it back to me, I was really over the moon. I told myself that I will make her happy every day. Which I did… but I'm failing lately. My insecurities got the better of me." Edward grabbed another beer and took a long swig of it. Jasper was almost done with his second bottle. He wasn't sure if Edward will continue or not so he just sat there and grabbed another bottle. Finally, Edward continued.

"She can't stop talking about you. There was never a day that she would not mention your name or talk about you. Every time that you have a problem she wants to be with you. At first, I didn't mind because you and I are friends, too, but eventually I got jealous and became more demanding of her time and attention. I didn't know that I was pushing her away by doing so. To top it off, every fucking time that we get into a fight, she runs to you! She thought I didn't know, but I did. I also know that you love her… I saw it in the way you looked at her and the way you are with her."

"Why didn't you say something? Why didn't you tell her that you were jealous of our relationship?"

"Like I said, I cannot compete. I know I'll lose her sooner because she will choose her best friend."

They were silent for awhile looking at the horizon ahead. Jasper is trying to comprehend everything that Edward had said. He got confused somehow because he knows that Bella loved Edward. She was happy with him. She even applied to the same school that Edward applied to just to be with him.

"You're a lucky man, Jasper. Bella's an amazing woman."

"I know but I think I lost her before we even began."

"What do you mean?"

Jasper told Edward everything that happened between him and Bella earlier in his room. He can't look at him while recounting the events because he knows that he screwed up though he wasn't sure yet why.

"Dude! That's your mistake right there!" Edward exclaimed after Jasper told him the story.

"What do you mean?"

"She told you she was in love with you but you didn't say anything. That's rejection."

"What?! I did not reject her!"

"Not on purpose but that's how it is. She poured her heart out to you but you said nothing, and that's on top of the fact that you accused her of using you."

"I did not accuse her!" Jasper growled.

"Easy, man! I'm helping you out here. It may not be an accusation to you but it is to her. Women's mind work differently."

"So you're an expert on women now?" Jasper chuckled.

"I was… until I met Bella. She's different from other women."

"That she is," Jasper agreed.

"So what are you planning to do?"

"Well… I need to find her first then I'll go from there."

"Okay. I'll help you."

"Really?" Jasper was surprised with his gesture.

"Of course. Like I said, I love Bella… I want her to be happy and I know that she'll be happy with you."

"Thanks, man," Jasper tapped Edward's shoulder. They started picking up their bottles and put it in the trash.

"Oh, and Jasper. If you hurt her, I will not hesitate to win her back," he warned. Jasper nod at him and smiled.

They both tried calling Bella's cell phone but both unsuccessful. They tried to drive around town to see if someone saw her but to no avail. Edward got a call from his father and needed to leave. He said goodbye to Jasper and promised him that he will call him as soon as he hear anything. Jasper went to the other places that Bella frequented when she wants to be alone but still nothing.

Feeling defeated, Jasper decided to drive back home and prayed that Bella will knock on his window tonight. But he doesn't want to go home yet. He can't stomach the fact that he fucked up and possibly ruined his chances with Bella. He needed someone to talk to. He needs company.

He knocked on the door and hoped that she's home already. He knows that Rose loves spending the weekends with Emmett at the Brandon's but he doesn't want to drag his problems there so he drove to his cousin's house, instead, taking his chances. He was glad that Rose was the one who opened the door and not his aunt.

"Rose, I screwed up. Please help me," he begged, unable to stop a tear from falling.

Rose hesitated, contemplating on whether to let him in or not. She decided for the latter hoping that Bella will understand and forgive her. She can never turn him away especially given the way that he looks right now. He's looks lost and very tired. She led him to the kitchen, trying to avoid the off chance of bumping into Bella. She's positive that Bella will be able to hear them from there and then decide if she wants to hide or confront him.

"Jazz…" Rose started, not knowing what to say.

"I screwed up Rose! I'm in love with Bella but I never told her!" He sobbed and put his face in his hands. He doesn't know what to do. He can't find her and he's getting desperate.

"I am so fucking stupid! Did you know that I love her all my life? Why was I so blind? Why didn't I realize it sooner?" He leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling before he continued calmly.

"Do you remember that summer before her twelfth birthday? We used to play hide and seek every day before the sun go down. I was looking for her but can't find her. I went to the meadow and saw her lying there," he smiled at the memory. "I was going to tackle her but I realized that she was sleeping. I was going to lie next to her but I ended up watching her sleep. She was so beautiful…" he sighed.

"Jazz…"

"I think I fell in love with her then," Jasper whispered.

"I know…" Rose quietly replied.

"What? How did you know?"

"Because after that day, you never looked at her the same way again." Rose was smiling at him. She caught a glimpse of Bella on the corner of her eye and she smiled wider.

"I'm so stupid, Rose! I should've told her from the beginning. She should've been the first girl that I dated. She should've been my first kiss and I should've been hers. We should've been together. I want to make her feel how important she is and how much I love her. I want to take care of her and cherish every moment that I spend with her. I want the whole world to know that I'm in love with an amazing woman!" Jasper's voice has gotten louder then he shouted, "BELLA, I LOVE YOU! PLEASE COME BACK TO ME!"

Jasper jolted his body forward and rests his forearms on the table then dropped his head on them. He sobbed, "I should've confessed my feelings for her when I had a chance, Rose. Now I'm too late! I can't find her. The more time pass the more chance that she'll hate me. I've been looking everywhere!" Jasper frustratingly said.

At the corner of her eye, Rose saw Bella's surprised face staring at Jasper's back. Her tears are falling down but they were happy tears.

"Are you sure you looked everywhere?" Rose asked grinning.

"Yes I did. I went to the meadow, to her house, at the beach. I checked all her hiding place but she's nowhere. She must really hate me enough to not let me find her.

"You're just looking at the wrong places, Jazz."

Jasper didn't hear what Rose said. He lifts his head, looked straight at Rose's eyes, took her hands to his then begged, "Rose, I can't imagine my life without her. She makes everything beautiful. She makes my life more meaningful…" Rose is crying now. "… I love her. I'm sure of it and I'm not ignoring my feelings for her anymore. Hell! Even Edward knew it beforehand! Please help me find her. It has always been her, Rose. She's the only one for me."

"You're the only one for me, too." Bella said silently. Jasper gasped and turned around. He saw Bell standing a few steps behind him, crying.

"Bella? You're here?" Jasper can't believe his eyes. His heart stopped and his mind is going wild. Bella is really here. She heard everything that he wanted to tell her and she doesn't hate him.

Bella nod her head twice. They were staring at each other neither of them knows what to do next. Then Jasper abruptly stood and went to Bella in two long steps. He cupped Bella's face with his hands and kissed her passionately. He wanted to make sure that she was really there, he wants to feel her. She's kissing her back. She wants assurance that he really wants her and let him know that she wants him, too. They were kissing like their life depended on it; tugging hair, pulling each other closer, sucking lips, tongue on tongue and this time there's no reason to stop. Well, except for their lone audience.

They slowed their pace and pulled their lips apart, foreheads together, both panting.

"Hi," Jasper said smiling.

"Hi," Bella replied.

"I love you, Bella. I'm so sorry…"

Bella cut him off, "Shhh… I love you, too, Jazz. I think that's enough explanation for now, don't you think?"

Jasper smiled at her, "I couldn't agree more."

"FINALLY!" Rose exclaimed and they all laughed.
