Jasper's POV

I couldn't believe that I told Charlie what happened. It was not my place to tell him at all. The look he gave me and the desperation he felt was almost too much for me. I suppose that's why I broke down and told him. I had already been to the store to get supplies to fix the door but I thought on my way home to stop and check on Bella. I should have waited a little longer. I was about to drive home when I decided to check the emotional level of the house. I got out of my car and sat in the tree closest to the house. It was also the window close to Bella's room. I felt Charlie's anger; it was the strongest emotion coming from the house. Bella had no anger at all. She was numb. I was about to tap on her window but then I heard Charlie knock on her door.

"Bella, honey?"

"Hey Dad, come in" Her voice was soft, emotionless. She sat up in her bed as Charlie entered the room.

"Hey sweetheart," I noticed awkward he felt but protective at the same time. It seemed like he didn't know what to do or say without upsetting her. I felt bad for spying but I was interested to see what she would say to him.

"Dad, I was just about to come down and find you. I guess I should tell you what happened."

"No, I already know."

"What? How?' she said. I found a flicker of emotion sparking out of her.

"That Jasper kid stopped by. He wanted to see you but I said no and asked him what happened." She looked down and pulled a pillow into her lap. She started picking at the corners. Then Charlie continued, "Bells, let me tell you one thing that is clear, Edward will not be getting anywhere near you."

I felt Bella's doubtfulness of her father's words. "Dad, you can't really stop him, but I would give anything for that right now. And if Alice couldn't come near me either."

"Bells don't get mad at me but, I had a restraining order drawn up against Edward. He isn't legally allowed within 100 feet of you, not until you lift it or it expires. If you want I will get one drawn up for the rest of those Cullens." I felt Bella's shock at his words. I was shocked myself but I understood where Charlie was coming from.

"Dad, I don't need a restraining order to solve this problem." She became furious. "I don't mind the one against Edward maybe get one for Alice for the time being but the rest of them don't deserve that!" She was defending the family, well most of it. I felt grateful, I'm sure Esme would have been hurt by it, Carlisle as well. I know I would too. I still don't know why I was feeling the way I was. I couldn't understand this protectiveness I had over Bella. This must have been what Edward was like, maybe still is, but I refuse to be like him. I would have to figure out how to control this, this possessiveness of keeping her safe and happy, being overprotective.

"Okay Bella, let me go get one drafted up for Alice." He seemed to be happy with her answer, like he never approved of Edward all along, which I guess he didn't after the whole fiasco in Phoenix.

"Uh, Dad?" Charlie stopped at the door.

"Yeah?"

"I think I'm going to see Jacob, okay?"

"That's fine. I was about to head to the station anyways. Get everything going with restraining orders." He walked out of the room. Bella was pacing around her room. She was conflicted. I would take any emotion from her right about now. I didn't like the fact she was numb earlier. I was quickly leaving. I'm sure Charlie would appreciate my car still being parked in front of the house. I quickly left before Charlie got out of the house. I decided to go home and fix the door.

I was driving at normal human speed. I didn't feel any rush in going back to the house. I'm sure everyone was keeping themselves busy at this point. Today was supposed to be a day full of activities but no one was doing anything now. I pulled into the drive and grabbed all of the supplies. I walked up on the porch and dropped the stuff there. I went into the house. It was quiet. I noticed Carlisle's car was gone so he probably went to the hospital. I wasn't sure where everyone else was. The house was quiet and seemed empty. I turned the radio on so I could have some music while I worked. I decided to take everything at human pace. I was in no hurry anymore. I looked at the door and saw where it splintered at the hinges. I bought a new glass door that was framed in metal this time. I took the old one out to the garage. I'm sure we could use it for something else or we would haul it somewhere. Once I got back to the porch the delivery truck was pulling up with our new door.

"Mr. Hale?" said one of the delivery men.

"Yes, just place the door on the porch so I can begin to install it." I replied.

"If you want Mr. Hale, we can install it for you? Its part of the delivery charge."

"No thank you gentlemen. I would like to do it." I said. I needed something to do.

"Alright if you just sign here, we can get it on the porch for you." He handed me a clipboard. While I was signing, the two guys unloaded the door and put it up on the porch.

"Thanks, Mr. Hale"

"Thank you gentlemen" I said as they were heading towards the truck.

It didn't take long to install the new door, maybe an hour, at human speed. It was nice to get my mind off of things. When I finished I cleaned the glass to get off the smudges from the handling of the door. I would like to see anyone go through that door and come out with no scratches. I chuckled at that thought.

As I was putting my tools away, I saw Carlisle and Esme drive up to the garage.

"Hey," I said as they were climbing out of the car. "I finished installing the new door. Hope you like it Esme."

She glanced over at the door. "It's wonderful Jasper. I like the glass better than the wood door." She smiled. Carlisle smiled as well but he seemed anxious.

"What's wrong Carlisle?" I was a little concerned. I barely ever get this feeling of anxiousness from him.

"Jasper," He said slowly as if collecting his thoughts. "I think you should know that Edward and Alice are coming back here momentarily to gather a few things." I went still as he said this. I was not ready to see them, nor did I want to see them.

"I'm out of here then. I will be back when they are gone. How long do you think they will be here?" I asked. I saw concern in Esme's face. I tried to shut down my ability to feel what others feel.

"I'm not sure, son."

"Okay well, don't expect to see me for a couple hours then." I said as I turn and ran to the woods.

I needed to get out of there. I ran as fast as I could. I felt the need to run, to let myself get free of everything. I ran aimlessly. I started to slow because I was nearing the treaty line. I decided to stop in this area. I'm sure I was deep enough and not too close to the treaty line to just sit and think. I wouldn't have to deal with anyone's emotions, just my own. I cherished those rare moments. I was also able to be still, I didn't have to fidget to look like a human. Sometimes this was wonderful. I listened to the sounds of the forest. Birds chirping, leaves swaying in the slight breeze. Soon there was rain. I heard it hit the canopy of the trees. It was very relaxing. It took my mind off of everything.

I don't know how long I was sitting there but I heard a person yelling in the distance. I couldn't understand what they were saying so I ran a little closer in the direction it was coming from. I stopped at the treaty line. I heard the voice again and I recognized it.

"Jacob?" It was Bella. I wonder why she was in the woods and where Jacob was. I hope he didn't leave her in the woods! She is directionally-challenged and the last time she was left in the woods alone was when she decided to jump off a cliff, recreational, as she put it.

"Jacob? I know you are here somewhere!" So she is alone in the woods. I wish I could cross this stupid line. She doesn't sound distressed but you never know with Bella. I sat at the treaty line, hoping to hear Jacob answer her. I heard a rustling but wasn't sure who it was or what. I smelled a foul odor. I stood and started looking around. A wolf was nearby, no doubt picking up on my smell. I waited. I wanted to see if Jacob would appear. From the corner of my eye, I saw a small grey wolf.

"Seth?" I said. I believe this is the one that became friendly with Edward after defeating the newborn army a couple months ago. The wolf scampered off. Seth appeared a few minutes later.

"Hey buddy! What's going on? I was doing a run before heading off to your house." He was always excited. He still acted like a puppy, bouncing with energy and eager to please.

"Have you seen Jacob in the woods today? I just heard Bella yelling for him but no response came from him."

"Yeah Jacob is in the woods running. He kept replaying his memories from last fall and…" He trailed off and looked down and his feet. I felt his emotions fluctuate.

"Yeah, Bella is going through a tough time right now. She and Edward are over." His jaw dropped open.

"W-what? What happened?" He was surprised by this.

"It's a long story. I was hoping that Bella would be okay so I have been listening from the treaty line to make sure she will be okay."

"I can go get her for you."

"No Seth, Just watch her make sure she gets back to her truck okay. I think I'm going to head home."

"Are you sure Jasper?"

"Yeah, she has a lot to think through and maybe Jacob can help her."

"Well, okay then. Tell Edward I said 'hi'. I'll go find Bella and keep an eye on her." He turned around to the bushes he came from. I heard him phase back. I stood there for a few moments, deciding what to do next. I didn't want to go home just in case Alice and Edward are still there. I felt a little better that at least Seth could lead Bella out of the woods if she got lost.

I walked around the woods for a little bit. I came across a small herd of antelope. I was hungry by any means but I decided to hunt. After I caught a few, I decided it should be safe enough to head home.

Bella's POV

I lost Jacob in the woods somewhere. I called out to him repeatedly but he never came back into my sight. I started to head back to my truck. I believed I was heading the right way when I heard a soft whine behind me. I turned and looked hoping it was Jacob.

"Jake! I'm so glad to see you." He stepped towards me. I didn't understand why he was in wolf form still. I thought he would run off and change into human form.

"I'm sorry I couldn't see you sooner. I was on my way to your house when I saw you running through the woods." I looked at him in the eyes. It felt weird having a one-way conversation.

"Well I owe you an explanation for earlier. Can we go somewhere to sit and talk?" I waited for him to give me a sign. He didn't move from where he was. He simply sat down and waited.

"Umm…okay then." I found a nice rock to sit on. "Well, Edward and I are no longer together. I'm sure you already knew that though." I looked around trying to keep myself from crying. My leg started shaking and I took a couple deep breaths. Jacob moved a little closer and laid in front of me and just stared at me.

"Uh…" I felt the tears coming, I tried to stop them but it didn't work. "…well, he slept with Alice. Jasper caught them earlier this week. I only found out last night." I heard a growl erupt from Jacob. I knew he was furious. He got up and paced around. I could see the anger; the fur was standing on the back of his neck.

"Jacob, I really need my friend right now." He came over and sat beside me. I leaned into him and played with his fur. I still didn't understand why he wouldn't change from his wolf form. "I won't let him break me again, I won't. I can't. I still can't even believe Alice would do that to Jasper, I mean they've been together forever it seems like. I wasn't sure when they exactly met but he was created during the Civil War. Could you imagine! It was years before he met Alice though. Still, he's hurting just as much if not more than I am." I heard him take a deep breath. I'm sure he didn't care but I just needed to talk about it to someone who would understand. I didn't talk to Jess or Angela much. They were gearing up for their first semester of college. Maybe I should actually go to Alaska for school, maybe stay here. I didn't realize I was lost in thought until Jacob nudged me.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about college believe it or not." He snorted at that. "I guess it would be a good way to start over, although he was supposed to follow with me, I was supposed to be changed." Jacob growled at that and stood up. He paced back and forth.

"Jacob, this would be easier if you could talk to me." He stopped pacing and went over to a nearby bush. A few seconds later he walked out in human form. I found myself with a smile on my face.

"Hey there Jake."

"Bella, I love you. You can't go away and start over! Start over with me. We can be happy together." He was still angry; you can hear it in his voice.

"Jake, please…"

"Bella, you know you have feelings for me, you know this. You admitted them in June. I remember, the kiss, you can't deny it! Just give me a chance!"

"Jake, I love you but not the same way I loved Edward. I don't know how we would work. I can't be with you Jacob, I can't."

"Bella, I don't understand. If you love me why not give me a chance. We can be happy. I would never hurt you, never. I'm not like him." He was pouring his heart out but I couldn't give him what he wants.

"I just can't. I'm sorry. I want to be your friend though. I don't want to lose you too." He hung his head in what seemed to be defeat.

"Fine, okay. I will be here if you need me." With that said, he took off. I saw him phase in mid-air, shredding his clothes.

"Jake!" I screamed after him but he didn't listen. I hated hurting him but I didn't want to give him the wrong idea. I walked back to my truck. I sat there, I noticed it was still early and I had a couple hours before I should be back at my house. I decided to head back to Forks, slowly.

I was going well under the speed limit. I didn't know what to do. I drove aimlessly. I wandered around town in my truck, stopped for some ice-cream, and then continued driving. I glanced at the clock and only an hour had passed. I sighed and continued driving aimlessly. Before I knew it, I found myself at the Cullen's house.
