Chapter 4: "Don't be a whiny baby like Edward"

Jasper's POV

I walked to the car with a smile on my face, making Rosalie and Bella's face light up.

"You look... Happy?" Bella asked, fairly confused.

"Of course he is, moron! He has a crush on the new girl! Please don't tell me that you missed the fact that he was staring at her during lunch. Oh yeah, staring, not glaring." Rosalie said with a smile on her face. "I'm so proud of my adopted little brother!" She rustle my hair. I shoved her.

"Will you please stop it. I don't have a crush on her. It just amuses me that she never watches where she walks. That's all."

"Oh, wonderful. Now you're going to deny it like freaking Edward did? Uh-uh no fucking way. You love, love, love this girl and you know it. You can't deny it."

"Apparently you are unaware of the definition of love. This whole thing is like you said before... a... a... a..."

"Crush?"

"Yeah, that!"

"Well, I'm just happy that you are smiling again. And from what I heard Abraham thinking about she is just as sarcastic and narcissistic as you are, but with a streak of hyper and bubbly." Edward said.

"Edward, what the hell? Can you mind your own business!" Rosalie yelled at him.

"What did I do this time?" Edward sighed. Rosalie and I had been playing a game for the past month called 'Be as pissy to Edward as possible.' and had agreed to let it last the rest of the year. That had also helped me in my recovery. This was actually the very first week I never thought about Alice 24/7. She crossed my mind sometimes, but as I said, not 24/7.

Am I really getting better? I had thought to myself as were were driving to the Middle/Elementary school (grades pre-K to 9) to pick up Renesmee. As we sat in the car waiting for Renesmee to get her butt out of school, I overheard a familiar voice, and I looked out the window.

"You know what little miss Rika," Melody said, her baby sister in her arms (My mouth dropped open at how much they looked alike) "I am sooo goddamned proud of you! We are going shopping!" She said, getting an adorable squeaky cheer from the 4 year old.

"Aw!" I heard Renesmee say as she slid into the seat next to me. "That little girl is such a sweetie pie, she is newer here, I've seen her a couple times... her name is E-"

"Erika Stiebel. I know. Her sister told me about her 7 and a half minutes ago." I cut my niece off.

"Oh, right. Rosalie texted me saying something about you having a crush on the new girl." Renesmee giggled.

"Don't try my patience Renesmee. I'll start calling you Nessie."

"You'd better not! I'll make Carlisle put you in therapy!"

"How about you take a can of shut up." Bella scolded her daughter.

"Fine. Just don't call me a fucking, sorry! Sorry mom! Don't call me a freaking sea monster."

I laughed. I watched as Melody drove away, blasting a song- if my late night training with Renesmee on artists that 'totally rock' withstood- was E.T by Katy Perry.

"Oh yeah, that girl's got awesome taste in music. Katy Perry is the shiznit!" Renesmee approved.

"I knew it!" I congratulated myself, getting looks from my family. I waved it off.

As we pulled into the driveway, Esme was waiting there to ambush me. Damn Renesmee and that stupid phone!

"What's her name Jasper? Huh? Tell me, tell me, tell meeee!" She sang, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Esme... Esme! Mom! Please let go of me." I laughed.

"Oh, Jasper, it's been such a long time since I've heard that laugh. Now, what is her name, what does she look like, what color are her eyes, hair, skin, how tall is she, what music and food does she like, does she have any nicknames? Oh, what kind of clothes does she wear, and when is she coming over- that's why you have to tell me what food she likes, and make sure she doesn't eat before she comes over, than Renesmee will have someone to eat dinner with! Oh my, and then when you start dating she can spend the night and-"

"Esme!" I attempted to stop her prattling "Esme... Esme? Es- Esme! MOM! Shut up! Please shush. Just. Shush." I finally got her to be quiet.

"But you-" She tried again.

"Esme! No. Her name is Melody Stiebel. She has burgundy hair and has some pink streaks in her bangs,' I started calmly "Her eyes are a smoky violet color, and at first I thought she was wearing contacts, but I overheard her talking to someone and it turns out her mother is an albino, You know, Pink eyes, extremely pale skin, and white hair. But very pretty. She has very pale skin, but like most humans she has a faint flush. She is about 5'2. From all I've seen her wear and listen too, She seems to like Paramore, and she looks exactly like the lead singer, at first I thought it was Melody on the shirt... But anyways, she seems to like Black... Black Veil Brides? I suppose that's what the bumper sticker on her car said... You've heard of them, right Renesmee? Yeah. And what was that other one... My Chemical Romance. That's all I know about her, Esme, and I'm sure I would know less if I were human. If you want more info on her, ask Edward, because apparently he cannot mind his own business."

"Ah. I see. Edward? Mind your own Business." Esme scolded him. Edward threw his arms up and groaned, and Renesmee giggled. "But you really do like this young lady, right?"

"I do." I replied.

"And you want to end up with this girl in the end, right?"

I nodded.

Esme thought for a moment. "I'm so glad to see you smiling again. This Melody girl... I''m anxious for her to join the family. So, Don't be a whiny baby like Edward 'Oh, I don't want her to be a monster'. I simply won't have it. Look at how Bella did turn out. She's far from a monster. He was being unreasonable and it caused him unnecessary stress."

"But at least you all got me out of it!" Renesmee said. I smiled at her.

"Yeah, you're alright. I don't want a kid though."

Renesmee stuck her tongue out at me, and walked into the kitchen.

"Alright, now everyone leave Jasper be." Esme instructed. "It's not like he's completely back to himself. Give him some space. That means you Edward, no mind reading!"

Edward groaned and threw his face in Bella's lap. Must be Esme was in on the game now too.

I was grateful Esme had such a strong hold over all us kids, as gentle, compassionate, and kind she was. Everyone let me be when I walked up to my room. I walked over to the dresser where I had nearly 47 pictures of me and Alice. I did something I never had the guts to do all these years. I went downstairs and got a big black trash bag, brought it up to my room and threw the pictures, frame and all into it. I took our first wedding photo album from under the bed and threw it in there too, but not before ripping it to shreds. I walked over to the desk where I kept the letter that Alice sent me 3 months ago, which was just to send me another file for divorce... I had never signed any of them, claiming they got lost in the mail, but in real life, I just never wanted to let her go. I sat down in the big leather chair, and took a pen and finally did it. I signed my fucking name.

Jasper Whitlock Hale

I angrily stuffed the blue piece of paper into the envelope, and found a blank little piece of paper and wrote:

I Hope you and Felix have the most miserable life as god can possibly give you without killing you. No... You know what... I'm not going to wish you anything. I just hope you die soon, and know that you don't have a hold on me anymore.

~Jasper.

P.S. I think that Edward's jackass-ness just rubbed off on me, and I don't know if it's even possible, but I hope Felix get's fat as hell, and crushed you to smithereens during sex.

I carefully read the note- and realized that I was better than that. And anyways, I would imagine she would be searching to see if I had signed the papers or not, and would see this note anyways, and also see that I'm better than that. I crumpled up the note, and threw it away and wrote a new one.

Alice. I hope that this is the last time that I ever have to hear from you.

~Jasper.

That's better.

I folded it in half and put it in the envelope. I ran at vampire speed down to the mailbox, and put it into the freezing cold metal box, and put the little red flag up.

It was official. I, Jasper Monroe Whitlock Hale, was 100% free of Mary Alice Brandon.

For the first time in my entire life, I was completely free. No Wars, no Alice, no nothing. All I needed now was Melody, and my life would be complete.

Authors Note: Jasper is free. Now all that needs to happen is ridding Melody of Caleb, and they will be happy. Finally. But it won't be that simple. A lot of bull shit is gonna happen. Period. Lol don't worry though, it will turn out awesome. XD
