AN: Though Jasper is who I'm focusing on in this story, since his character changes the most, Annie will also get some time since her character changes too (but mostly back to where she was before, but with Jasper at her side) This IS a Jasper x Annie story. Yes, Jasper was kinda creepy and I love Liam and Annie together as well, but I wanted to explore what Jasper and Annies relationship could have been like if things were different. Which is what this websites about right? Exploring other character paths of what could have been! So without further ado, enjoy the new chapter!

Annies thoughts

Jaspers thoughts

Text

Annie was waiting at the Hollywood sign. Jasper was late... which wasn't like him at all. Well she thought he probably just got caught up in traffic or something. He's never been late before. He always gets here before I do. She sighed. Ever since Jasper had come into her life things had been... good. Ever since that sext got sent out and everyone turned away from her she felt so alone. She used to love hanging out with her friends, but after everything that happened... she felt like she couldn't really trust anyone anymore. Everyone of her friends she'd made since moving to L.A. had turned their backs on her. Even her brother, who she used to be so close to, turned away. Jaspers been the only one able to bring her out again.

All Annie wanted to do this year was lay low, but after the sext was sent out and the fight with Naomi... She didn't think she'd make it through the year. But Jasper really made her see. All these people here... they played by a completely different set of rules than her former classmates in Kansas. They expected their friends to stab them in the back and never believed the truth. Naomi, who had been one of her best friends, didn't even believe that she didn't sleep with Liam. Yes, she did call the cops on the party... but she had just been so upset! And then hitting Jaspers uncle. Oh god, was she ever going to be able to tell him? What would he think? Would he call the cops? Break up with her?

Annie didn't think she could take that. He had been her rock. He listened when she would rant about the kids at school and how they are all the same. He calmed her down when she would get too angry. He was there for her when no one else was. She wished he had been there before she told Naomi that she had slept with Liam. She was so desperate to make sure that text didn't get out, she would have told Naomi anything at that point. And then rubbing it in her face at the boat party?

Ugh, that was the stupidest thing I've ever done. She should have sat down with Naomi and explained everything to her with Liam there. How she didn't sleep with Liam and she had given Phoebe Abrams a ride home because she was wasted. I've been a bit crazy lately... I guess I've been so upset over everything and having all my friends and pretty much the whole school hate me or trying to see me naked...again. The more she thought about it... the more she could see why her parents were concerned about her dating Jasper. But they didn't understand that she wasn't acting this way because of Jasper, she was acting this way because sometimes she got so angry that she couldn't control herself. Jasper always brought her back from her little episodes, and held her while she sobbed. But why was everyone so insistent that Jasper was 'sketchy' and a drug dealer? Couldn't they see that he was helping her?

Annie sighed and looked at her phone. 6:30. She shot him a text

Annie: Where r u?

A minute later she got a response.

Jasper: Turn around

She smiled and turned around to see Jasper leaning against the giant 'H' of the Hollywood sign. "Hey." She said in a soft voice, walking up to him and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Hey." Jasper replied, nuzzling her head and kissing her hair. "I missed you." He whispered. Annie laughed slightly. "I missed you too." She did too. She felt so secure in his arms. He protected her from the world. Well at least from the kids at West Bev. Life seemed... liveable with him around. Gently, Jasper untangled himself from Annies tight hold on him. He kissed her forehead. I hope she understands. He thought to himself, praying to anyone who would listen she would stay to hear his story. Pulling back to look her in the eyes, he took the leap. "We need to talk, Annie."

AN: So? What did you think? Leave a review and let me know! This is my first ever fan fiction, that being said, I want to thank Magenta Brave for being the first to follow/favorite my story! Not going to lie, you made my day 10x better!

If anyone wants to know, I'll be updating this story every monday and friday (unless for some reason I can't).
