Jasper's POV

It had been almost two months since the Phoenix incident, and I had rarely seen Bella. Edward had done an amazing job at keeping me away from her, due to her broken leg Edward found it appropriate she stay at home instead of coming over to the house, which I can tell you is complete bullshit.

It seems that Edward had confided in Alice, that he was concerned that I had become obsessed with Bella because she is human. Alice tried to convince him he was wrong, but has had little luck, but tonight hell and high water couldn't stop me from seeing her.

Tonight was prom, a social gathering I usually detested but was always dragged to by the energizer pixie, but this time I was willing to suffer it all to see Bella. Edward had tricked Bella into attending, and I can't tell you how much I wished it was my arm she was on.

I was currently getting ready, in the Alice approved outfit for the evening. Of course I wanted to look good, and catch Bella's attention, so I didn't fight Alice on the choice of outfit. It was quarter to seven when Alice came bouncing into the bedroom dressed in a flowing purple dress;

"You ready to go Jazz?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," I mumble, I still wasn't excited to see Bella wrapped around Edward all night, can you really blame me?

"Don't worry Jazz, I promise tonight will be good," she says with a knowing smile and I don't have the energy to dispute her.

The prom was being held at a small inn, in Port Angles and Alice and I arrived at 7:30. The music was already blaring and almost the entire student body of Forks High was there, but my eyes only looked for one. We walked through the front door, myself ignoring all the stares that were accustom when you were a Cullen. It wasn't until I heard Jessica Stanley comment on Bella's dress did I pay attention, I quickly scanned the room and soon my eyes were locked on her.

She looked amazing in a knee length dark blue dress, and the white wrap showed off just enough skin that made it sexy, but not trashy, she looked like a princess even with the cast on one leg and sneaker on the other. I was glad Alice didn't push the heels, I could only imagine the catastrophe that would occur.

"Eyes up Jasper, we don't need Edward trying to kill you in the middle of a bunch of humans," Alice says smirking, and I look at Edward who is glaring in my direction.

We approach them and Bella and Alice say their usual greetings, then Bella looks at me and smiles a bright smile.

"Hey Jasper, long time no see."

"Hello, Bella. It has been to long, I wonder why that is?" I say looking directly at Edward who growls to low for human ears, my comment earns me an elbow to the ribs from Alice who is sending me a warning look.

Alice excuses us, saying we are going to go find Rosalie and Emmett. She drags me into the hallway and into a quiet corner.

"If you keep antagonizing him you'll never see Bella, and you will ruin tonight. Can you just please behave?"

"I'm sorry Alice, he just makes it so easy. Why shouldn't I give him grief, every moment he is with her causes me more pain then you will ever know."

She had no idea how bad my chest ached when I saw them together, and she had no idea how much pain I was in 24/7.

"I know Jasper, and I'm really sorry, but if things keep up like this it's going to get really ugly for the family and for Bella, so please just don't piss him off."

"So what, I'm suppose to just let him do whatever he wants while I stand on the sidelines?"

"Of course not, I'm not saying to completely back off, just don't start things with Edward in front of Bella."

"Okay, I can do that."

"Good, now lets go back inside. I've got a plan, you are going to ask Bella to dance," she says grinning like a maniac.

"Yeah right, Edward would never let her go long enough to ask and besides Bella hates dancing, and what about her leg?"

"Stop thinking so much, leave Edward to me," she says winking and bringing me back inside.

When we got back inside we quickly found Edward and Bella at a table, and Alice pranced over like a pixie on a mission and was happily dragging me around. When we reach the table Alice shoves me into the chair that is beside Bella, she smiles up at me and Edward scowls. We spend the next few minutes chatting, actually Alice spends most of the time blabbing about the decorations and how tacky they are, while the rest of us just sit and listen. The music changes and Alice grins;

"Oh! I love this song! Come on Eddie you owe your sister a dance," she says grabbing his hand and leading him away, but not before she calls over her shoulder;

"Jasper, you and Bella should dance."

Alice winks at me over her shoulder and Edward stares, I can tell he wants to say something, but Alice doesn't give him a chance, and soon Bella and I are alone.

"You don't have to dance with me Jasper, besides I suck at it," she says looking down at her hands.

Her emotions tell me that a part of her is excited at the prospect of dancing with me, but part of her was really worried she would be bad at it. The fact that she wanted to dance with me, made me grin and made my heart warm.

"What if I want to dance with you? Besides it's all in the leading," I say winking at her and taking her hand in mine, leading her to the dance floor.

She is hesitant at first to put her arms around me, so I help her. I take her arm and and place it on my shoulder morphing her fingers to relax against the back of my neck, she takes the hint and moves her other arm into the same position, as I wrap my arms around her waist. I'm completely aware of how this may look to others but I don't care I love having her in my arms.

A short time later I can tell that she is having a hard time keeping balance because of her cast, and I hate the idea of our time together getting cut short, but her comfort is more important.

"Bella, do you want to sit down?"

"No!" she blurts, and blushes, which makes me smile. It's nice to know that she doesn't want this to end as much as I do.

"I mean I'm fine, it barely hurts," she says still not looking at me.

Suddenly I get an idea, I swiftly pull her closer and lift her slightly on to my feet, she laughs when she realizes what I have done, and I just smile in return. I wasn't thinking about how close we would be, but when her head falls softly over my heart I swear that it almost beats.

All to quickly the song ends, and I know Alice won't be able to hold off Edward forever, the fact I got a whole song with her surprised me. I look to my left and see Edward and Alice at the side of the dance floor and Edward starts his approach. Being the polite southern gentleman my mama raised, I take Bella's hand and bend down, kissing the top.

"Thank you for the dance, Bella."

She doesn't know it but she's made my night.

I walk away with a grin on my face and don't even bother to remove it as I walk straight past Edward, and I'm still grinning like a fool when I reach Alice, who is giggling and smiling.

"Real smooth, Romeo," she say still laughing.

"What? Just being a gentleman."

"Gentleman, my ass! Though I will say, you've made quite an impression, on young Bella," she says glancing at Bella.

I turn to look and my eyes connect with hers, she smiles a shy smile, and blushes, before Edward steals her attention.

"It's all going to work out Jasper, with the way things are going it could be very soon, that she starts to question her feelings, if she's not already."

I grin at Alice's news, but I knew it wasn't going to be easy, as long as Edward is in the way, but I was going to try like hell, and I wasn't going give up until Bella was mine. Alice pulls my attention to her, as a new song comes over the speakers.

Alice takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor.

"Come on, Hale. Let's go bust a move," Alice says with a light laugh.

I let her pull me on to the dance floor, but all I can think is, God I hope Alice is right!

A/N So I know this is short, but it's a vital part of the story to see Jasper and Bella getting closer, and to make it up to y'all next chapter is a BIG one in plot and length, and it will be posted THIS week!

Three questions this week:

How much longer will we have to wait for Bella and Jasper to get together? It won't take to much longer for Eddie to be gone and our man Jasper to make his move, but I'm going to tell you this Jasper and Bella aren't instantly going to fall into eachothers arms, things have to progress first.

Will Peter be a know it all yoda? To be honest I haven't decided if he will be gifted, he was gifted in my last story and I enjoyed his yoda stuff so it's a high chance he will be.

Does Carlilse know what's going on? He's not 100% sure, but yes he is getting suspicious. Later on in this story you will find out exactly what the family thought during these times. Not going to tell you how but it's all planned out in my crazy mind.
