''Edward, we need to talk.''
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''Bella, how can you want a... divorce?'' Edward shrieked, and I believe it was Jasper screwing with his emotions was the only thing that kept him from hitting the wall. For a human, big deal. Fore a vampire, it actually is a big deal. ''And then want to be with my brother?''
That stung. ''Ed-'' Jasper cut me off. ''You can't say shit, Edward. How many times have you been hunting since Nessie got sick? How many times have you left Bella here alone? Edward, love fades when it's just sex.''
Edward flinched. ''Bella,-''
''Has been through too much to put up with your shit, Edward.'' Jasper growled. Edward took a step forward and crouched. Jasper copied him. A second before Edward lunged, I stepped between them. Thunder shook my ear drums and my head hit a wall. I winced and opened my eyes. Jasper was standing with his back to me, growling loudly. Edward was standing there like an idiot, mouth open and all. I couldn't believe I actually did that. Hell, I can't believe this is even happening. I looked at Edward and removed my shield He looked up at once.
Edward, you can't control what your heart wants. I'm fine, not hurt at all. Stop.
Edward took a step back from Jasper, eyes still blazing. ''Bella, we'll talk about this later.'' he leaped out the window. I heard the front door slam. ''Jasper? Bella? Edward?'' Alice called.
''You have to tell me what you told Edward later.''
''Oh, Edward got here before me. You're still in one piece? And why are you on the floor? I though for sure you would have attacked him, and he would have killed you.'' Alice said, her eyes widening when she saw our confusion.
''Edward tried to kill Jasper, and I stopped him. What are you talking about, Alice?''
She gulped. ''Edward- Edward didn't tell you?''
''Alice, now isn't really the best time.'' Jasper said, his voice a growl.
''No, now is the best time. Tell me, Alice.'' And lets see what I'm going to do to you, my so- called best friend.
''Edward cheated on you...... with me.'' she backed up a step.
I snorted. ''Lovely. I fall out of love with my husband, get attacked by a demon, get cheated on, and loose a best friend, all in three days.''
''Don't focus on the bad things, Bella.'' Jasper teased half-heartily. I glared at Alice. Jasper offered his hand to help me up. I smirked and leaned over to kiss Jasper, wishing I could see her face. Jasper pulled away first.
''I love you.'' he whispered, and Alice left the same way Edward had just minutes before.
***
''You knew, didn't you, Jasper?'' I said, pulling away from him. He sat up, frowning. ''Yes, I did know. I knew that the only reason Alice went to visit Nessie was to see him and tell him to go 'hunting' later. The only reason he brought Nessie over there was to see her. She wasn't there this time, so he took off. Plus, they're like practically leaking rainbows when they look at each other. Makes me sick.''
I stretched up and kissed him. ''It's over with now. They left. Esme called to see if she was here.''
''Poor Esme.'' He said, twirling some of my hair around his finger. ''You should cut some of your hair, it goes all the way down to your waist.''
''You know, I should. Only if you let me do something to you for school next week, Esme's making us start school.''
''Deal, only because I'm curious.'' he smirked and stood up, pulling me with him. ''Let me take a shower, and you go tell everyone at the big house what happened.''
''Fine, but if Emmett won't let me leave you better come rescue me.'' he laughed and kissed me quickly, then ran off.
I turned the shower as hot as it went and stepped in, wanting nothing more than to just stand there forever.
I could hear my phone ringing, so I reluctantly got out and got ready. I looked at my missed calls, and it was from, of course, the only little kid in the world with a cell phone. I laughed and called her back.
''Nessie? Are you okay?'' She didn't sound as sick..
''Mommy! Can I go see Jacob with Charlie? Please? I'm not sick at all.'' I could tell by how adult her voice sounded Charlie wasn't in the room.
''How long?'' I could picture her jumping up and down right now.
''The week.''
''Okay, but be here by Thursday a couple hours before bedtime, okay? We have some things we need to discuss.''
''Sure.'' and she hung up. I sighed, she was getting too old. I blow dried my hair, angry at how it wasn't perfect, something I usually didn't care about in the least. I debated eyeliner, and choose not to when my phone nearly vibrated off the counter. I laughed. I couldn't help being excited when I saw who it was- Jasper.
Be there in minute, went well. Esme wants to choke the life out of Edward.
I laughed. I'm ready I guess. Hurry!
I nearly screamed when his arms snaked around my waist. ''Sorry. I just really wanted to do that.'' I picked up the eyeliner off the counter and turned around, pushing his hands behind me into th counter. I swiped it across his lower eyelid.
''Sorry. I just really wanted to do that.'' I smirked. ''Now I should finish it.'' I grinned and finished it, Jasper's hands playing with my belt loops the whole time. I still couldn't get over how everytime he touched me it felt like an electric shock. ''There. Perfect.'' I combed down his hair. ''Perfect emo kid.''
''What?''
''Nothing, love.'' I giggled. ''Now can you please let me go so we can get this over with?''

''Dye it black? Are you sure? Why not just cut it?'' Jasper said when I told him what I'd decided.
''Well, I need to look completley different, so why not?'' I shrugged.
''Then I'm dying mine.''
''What color?" I laughed, staring out the car window, wondering where they were, what they were doing. Of course I would miss them, whenever the anger and hurt faded.
"Darker. We'll see when we get there." He leaned back and turned off the driveway onto the highway. "You're not cutting it, are you?" I asked. "Not unless you want me to." he turned into the parking lot sharply.
''I don't. Well, let's get this over with.''

I have to find a way to get a pic and show you what I mean by Bella's new hairstyle, unless when I describe it you all get a nice mental image.
I love this.
Review, and Jasper will hug you.
