Disclaimer: SM owns Edward and Jasper. Just not the mean things I subject them too!

Jasper POV

Lauren never bothered me again, after that day in gym. Mike stopped sulking. Edward and I spent most nights at each others house. My bed was smaller than his so we mostly spelt at his house. Carlisle bought an extra dresser so I could have a place to put my things. Edward beamed his thanks to his dad, I was a little disturbed. I liked the idea of having something for me. It made the room our room, but the fact that his dad was so welcoming to the relationship troubled me. Apparently he did the same for Alice and Bella. Renee and I were home alone one day.

We were in the kitchen baking when I brought it up.

"Renee?"

"Yes Jasper?"

"Are you and Carlisle in love?"

She sighed and ran her hand through her hair.

"Why do you ask Jasper?"

"Well I've noticed how you two are when you're together. You lean into each other, the smiles, the looks, the sneaking off. Yes I noticed both your car's gone a few nights this month." She smiled and sighed.

"Yes Jasper, we are. But we're trying to keep it quiet because of you kids."

"Renee why hide it when you should embrace it. Alice isn't Carlisle blood child, and I'm just your nephew. You guys should show that you love each other. Be open about it and be a complete couple. If you want to keep it with in the family, I understand, but don't hide it. There's nothing wrong in falling in love. There's nothing wrong with you two love each other and being together. I'm happy for you both. If you make each other happy, who cares what others say. It's none of their business for one, and for two, only you control your life, and happiness, and heart. If you love him show it to the world."

She smiled "Jasper, I never thought about it that way, I'll have to talk to Carlisle. Can you keep this secret to yourself until we tell you all together?"

I nodded and kissed her cheek.

We never talked about it again, but about a week later they came to us as a couple and we were all happy for them.

I smiled as I remembered the last month. It was nearing the end of the month and we had just started the camping unit. Tomorrow was fire safety but after I freaked out a little, I was told I didn't have to learn to make a fire. I snuggled into Edward and fell asleep.

The next day was normal morning. I was just klutzy. I managed to spill coffee on three different shirts before I even had half the cup in me. I tripped and took Bella down with me, and I managed to choke on a cherry and spit it at Mike. Biology was uneventful.

For gym we were all pulled outside after a half hour lecture on fire containment, and safety. We were split into groups and I sat off to the side of the building, reading a book. Everyone spread out and started building their fires. Because Jessica was home with the flu, Lauren was left to build the fire her self. She situated herself at the corner so I was able to see just her from my spot along the building. I got lost in my book, and was startled by feet coming into my line of vision. I pulled my Ipod from my ears and looked up to see Lauren with a stick on fire in her hands. I jumped up tossing my book to the ground and stepping to the side to try and get away from her.

She sneered and laughed bitterly.

"Let's see Edward want you after this freak out. He'll be so upset he'll run from you and right into my arms"

She pushed me into the corner and placed the stick on the ground. Turning around she ran back to her fire and brought more flamed sticks and blocked me into the corner. I sat with my back pushed into the wall, my knees pressed to my chest, shocking and sobbing from the fire. Lauren brought over one last piece and pushed it towards my face. I screamed out in fear and flinched away from it. She laughed and leaned it against the wall close to my body effective pinning me between it and the wall.

"This'll teach you" She said almost to herself. I sobbed harder as she walked away, leaving me against the wall.

That's when the flashback started.

I was curled up under the open window; the fumes from the house burning stung my nostrils and burned my lungs. I could hear my Mom screaming in the next room, begging for the fire to stop. My father screamed his last scream 5 minutes before in the hall. My window was jammed shut, and I watched as the fire engulfed the door, then the wall, then my dresser. I watched my desk burn, my bed, my floor, and the other walls. I watched as my room, my life burned away, all because of a stupid candle my mom forgot to blow out from my parent's anniversary. It engulfed my room, and I felt it begin to touch my skin of my back as it creeped along the wall behind me.

Hi everyone. Things are finally starting to come together. I'll be reposting Ch 7, when I post this chapter and chapter 9. *Shakes fist and the stupid document uploader issue*

Once this is all up, I hope things start to make a little more sense.

I'm just sitting here itching to tell you what happens I'm starting to think this story is going to be shorter than I had originally intended. LOL.

But if you want I can (after my story is finished) throw in some chapters later on as their lives progress. They would be one shots that I add to the story so everyone knows what's going on.

I also just noticed that the line breaks I was putting into my chapters aren't showing up on So you get to see my many others I can come up with and all the really unimaginative designs. HEHE

Hope you enjoy!
