Chapter 7
EPOV-
I wake up screaming, sweat running down my face.
I was still on the couch, alone. Looking at the clock I realize its 4:00 am and the Jasper hadn't joined me on the couch.
My heart is still pounding hard from my nightmare as I get up and head towards Jaspers room.
I try to hold my tears in as I notice it's empty. My tears finally fall when I also notice my room empty. Jasper hadn't come home.
Jasper had fled from our home, and instead of coming back to talk to me he stayed away.
I'm about to close my bedroom door when I notice a card lying forgotten on the floor.
Edward,
Happy Anniversary!
I can't believe it's been a year.
I love you Edward, please don't ever doubt that.
I'm so happy to be able to share your life with you.
Love always,
Jasper
I can hardly breathe when I finish reading the card. How could I have been so stupid as to forget such an important thing? I let my body crumple to the ground as I cry.
I've lost Jasper because of my own stupidity.
JPOV-
"Jasper its 10:00 wake up." Rose yells as she bangs on the spare rooms door.
It takes me fifteen minutes to get out of bed and dressed.
"Would you now like to explain?" Emmett asks as I join him and Rose at the table.
"He brought his study group home. He didn't even remember it was our anniversary." I could feel myself almost starting to cry.
"What did he say when you told him?" Rose asks handing me coffee.
"I didn't tell him, I was too hurt. Rose I ran from him, I didn't even explain to him. Gosh Rose, what if I lost him because of that?" My breathing was getting heavy.
I just realized I could have lost Edward because of what I did.
"Thanks for the bed Rose, but I have to go." I say as I practically stumble out their door.
I was thankful Rose and Emmett lived so close, because it took me a little over a minute to get home. I start to freak out when I find the door unlocked. Edward and I never left the door unlocked.
My breath hitches as I step inside, into the completely dark apartment.
"Edward?" I quietly call out.
EPOV-
"Edward?" I hear a voice call. I'm immediately awake, pulling myself off of the floor and walking towards my door.
"Edward?" Jasper calls again, this time sounding closer.
"Jasper." I call out to him as I run towards him, tears already streaming down my face. "I'm sorry Jasper, please don't leave me."
"I won't leave you Edward." Jasper says, wrapping his arms around me. "I didn't mean to leave; I shouldn't have run like I did. I'm so sorry love."
"Then why do I feel like you are about to say but?" I question pulling away from him slightly.
"But, you forgetting our anniversary hurt. I just don't understand how you forgot." Jasper explains stepping away from me. "You've been so busy with your study group and all your new friends. Between that Jacob guy and that guy Seth, I don't even know what you are thinking anymore. Are you interested in either of them?"
I couldn't even believe what Jasper was saying. How could he say those things?
"Jazz, what are you talking about? Jacob is someone in my study group and Seth is a friend. Seth has a boyfriend. Am I not allowed to have friends?" I can feel myself getting angry.
"What am I suppose to think? You keep telling me you're busy this week; you haven't wanted to be with me sexually at all. Gosh, Edward I know your past still haunts you slightly but why would you be pushing me away so much lately?"
"I'm sorry Jasper; I can't really explain anything right now. I'm running late." I quickly run to my room and change into decent clothes before I leave the apartment.
"Edward you're running late, everything ok?" Seth asks as I step inside.
"Yeah everything's fine, sorry about being late." I say as I let him lead me towards the room.
"I'll let Sammie know you're here." He beams at me before skipping off. I tug off my shirt and lay on my stomach, ready for Sam.
I take in the surroundings, like I've been doing this past week. The drawing hanging on the wall were beautiful, each unique.
"Hey Edward, what do you say we get this done?" Sam says smiling and sitting in a chair next to the table.
I take soothing breaths as I attempt to calm myself as the needle turns on and meets with my skin.
"It's looking great Edward, you're doing so well." Seth says holding my hand. I was lucky to have Seth; we had met a few weeks after school started. He was in the support group I had joined and once we got to talking we realized just how much in common we had with our unfortunate pasts.
AN: So… What you think? ;)
