A/N: Sorry for the delay. I had major writer's block yesterday and couldn't come up with anything. Today, though, I came up with this chapter. I hope you enjoy.

ALICE

I drove toward Bella's house trying top come up with the best way to tell Bella about what Edward was doing. The more I thought about it, though, the more I realized that Edward was right.

Whether or not he actually cared, the fact was, Bella was going to be devasted when she found out about this. She loved Edward with every fiber of her being. There was no way I was going to be able to sit there and tell her that he's been sleeping with her ex bestfriend. I wouldn't be able to handle her reaction. I didn't even want to imgine it.

I guess I could take comfort in the fact that there was always a chance that she wouldn't believe. No, that would be way worse. If she thought that I was lying then she'd probably kick me out and not want anything to do with me anymore. I didn't want that to happen.

I knew that I was her best friend and she should trust me enough to believe me. However, with the way I've been acting about her and Edward, I wouldn't expect anything less than outright hostility. I've never been very supportive of the idea of the two of them together and tended to make my opinion known. I had a nasty habit of making every little flaw out to be a bigger deal than it was. Just so she would break up with him.

What if she thought I was doing the same thing when I told her about this? What if she thought that I had taken it too far this time? What if she said that she never wanted to see me again? What if I didn't tell her?

There were too many questions without answers. There was no way I could tell her. At least, not right now. Not until I've talked to Jasper. Maybe he could help me find away around hurting my best friend. Because I would hurt her whether or not she believed me.

I pulled into the nearest parking lot and took out my cell phone. I dialed Jasper's cell number as I pulled out of the parking lot and headed towards his house in the opposite direction of Bella's. The call rang phone time before it went to voicemail. I hadn't expected him to answer because he would still be in school.

"Hey Jazz, it's Al. I know you're still in school and that's were I should be too. I ditched the second half of the day. I'll explain why later. Listen, could you go straight to your apartment when you get out of school. I really need to talk to you about something. It's important. Don't worry. I'm fine and we're fine. I just need a second opinion on something. I love you. Bye."

I flipped the phone shut a drove twenty over the speed limit towards his apartment complex.

Jasper had gotten himself emancipated when he was fifteen. His father was an abusive asshole while his mother was an alcoholic who could've cared less about him. When he turned fifteen, he inherited a substantial amount of money after his favorite Uncle past away. He used that for the first couple months rent on an apartment, did the paperwork, and moved to Forks from Seattle. He hasn't heard from or seen his parents since. He and I have been dating since two months after his first day at Forks High School. He gave me the key to his apartment for our one year anniversary.

When I got to his apartment, I went right inside and straight to his bed. I curled up under his blankets and found myself crying. I wasn't sure why I cried. There was just so much that had happened today, it was too much for just one person. I mean, first I caught my stepbrother cheating on my best friend. Then there was the whole do I tell my best friend or not? Would she believe me if I did?

It was strange. Edward had finally screwed up so bad there was no hope of Bella forgiving. That was something that I had wanted for over a year. Yet, now that it finally happened, things were too complicated for me to be happy about it.

I don't remember falling asleep. One minute I was laying in Jasper's bed crying, the next, I felt someone stroking my hair and opened my eyes to see Jasper sitting next to me. I wondered briefly how long I'd been there.

"Hi." I said after stretching and yawning.

"Hey." he said. I could see worry etched in his feature. He didn't what long to express that worry. "Are you okay? Did someone hurt you?"

I had told him not to worry when I left the message. Naturally, he worried. I laughed slightly as I stared into his beautiful green eyes.

"Yes, I'm fine. No, nobody hurt me." I replied. "I told you not to worry in the message."

"Then why, pray tell, were you here sleeping in my bed, with tears stains on you face, when you should've been in school?" he questioned skeptically.

"It's a long story." I said feeling a little stupid aboput dragging him into this.

"It's my night off." he replied with a smile. "You have me as long as you need me."

I smiled. That was my Jasper. Always there for me, no matter what. I loved him more than he would ever know. I pushed myself into a sitting position leaning against the wall and took a deep breath.

I told him everything that happened that day. Everything about Bella being sick and me having to make up an algebra test during Edward's algebra period. I told him about Jessica's and Edward's odd behavior throughout the period and how I followed Edward to the library. I describe the way I found the to of them in the corner as well as how they both admitted to sleeping together. I told him how I got pissed and left and how Edward tried to talk me out of telling Bella the truth. It took awhile because I had to keep stopping to convince Jasper that he shouldn't kill Edward. He was halfway out the door at least three times before I could calm him down.

"And now I don't know what to do?" I cried once I finished. "I know that she has every right to know the truth. I also know that it is my job as her best friend to tell her everything but it's like Edward said, this is going to destroy her. She's already been through so much over the last seven years. I don't think I could add this to her list of terrible things. I couldn't sit there and watch the pain fill her eyes. I can't bring myself to hurt her like that. Of course, that's all hypotheticall because I'm not even sure she's going to believe me. And if she doesn't that's just going to make things ten times worse. It could mean the end of our friendship."

"Al, stop and breathe." Jasper said wiping the tears from my eyes. "Now, you're Bella's best friend, why wouldn't she believe you?"

"Because you know how I've felt about there relationship." I stated. "I have been trying to find a reasobn for Bella to break up with him since the beginning. I knew from then that Bella deserved so much better. And this just proves it. But Bella might think that this is another one of my attempts to break them up. What if she thinks that and feels I've gone too far? What if she tells me she nevber wants to see me again? I don't think I could live with myself if that happened. She's more like a sister to me than Edward is a brother. I couldn't get through life without her."

Jasper sighed and pulled me into a hug. I let my tears fall onto his shirt.

"Listen to me, Al." he whispered. "It's like you said, Bella has a right to know what Edward's doing and it is your job as her best friend to tell her. I know that it's going to hurt her terribly but she'll appreciate it more in the long run if you tell her. Yes, she may be made at you for awhile and think that you're lying, but she will eventually find out what that assholes been doing. When that happens, I'm sure the two of you will be able to work it out. But if you don't tell her what you know now and she finds out later, she may never speak to you again. I know the latter isn't something that you would want. Which is why you need to tell her what you know now. Whether or not she believes you, the truth will come out sooner or later."

I thought about his words. They weren't really much of a comfort but he was right. I had to be the best friend that I was and tell her. It would hurt her whether or not she believed me. And she'd eventually find out the truth. Better it happen in a way where she knew that I was being honest with her. That way would only go a few weeks to a few months without talking. Whereas, if I kept my mouth shut and she found out, I could lose her friendship forever. I sighed knowing and hating what I had to do.

"Thanks for listening, Jazz." I whispered into his just. "I honestly don't know what I'd do without you."

"Don't thank me." He replied pulling me away from his chest. "You are my life and I would do anything for you. Anything you want or need, all you have to do is ask. Even if it's just getting advice or ranting, I'm here when you need me to be."

He brought his lips crashing down on mine and kissed me with all the passion he could muster. I kissed him back with just as much passion, willing him to feel how strongly I felt about him. We pulled apart when the need for air got too much.

"I love you." I said breathless and snuggled back into his chest.

"I love you too." he replied wrapping his arms around me and kissing the top of my head.

We stayed like that for awhile both lost in our own thoughts. I was thinking about how I was going to have to hurt Bella. There was just now way around that. I wished there was but there wasn't. I just had to figure out the best way to lead her into. Which was something I had never been good at it.

I could tell by Jasper's labored breathing that he was doing everything he could not to go to my house and kill Edward. I was grateful to him for that. There would be way too much incrimnating evidence if Edward's body was found. I didn't want Jasper to go to jail for Edward. It wasn't worth it.

"I kissed a girl and I liked it.

The taste of her cherry chapstick.

I kissed a girl just to try it.

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it."

The ringing of my phone cut through the silence causing me to jump a mile. Jasper chuckled as I tried to fish it out of my purse, which was on his dresser.

"Hello, Bella." I said once I finally grabbed it and flipped it open. "How are you feeling?" I was trying very hard to sound casual but I didn't think it was working.

"Better." she replied and she did sound much better. "I thought you were going to come over?"

"I am." I said and glanced at the clock. It was nearly five. I had no idea that I had been here so long. "I'm sorry. I had to talk to Jazz after school and it took longer than I thought." Bella just laughed. I made a face that she couldn't see. "Anyway, I'll be leaving here in the next ten minutes."

"Okay. You're going to miss Jake, though. He has to be home by five thitry." she answered.

"Oh man, I was hoping he'd be there when I got there."

Which was true. I hoped he was going to stay for awhile so I could put off my news for awhile. I supposed it would've been best to just get it over with.

"Sorry." she replied. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah." I answered. "Why?"

"Because, Edward called and asked if I talked to you yet. When I told him no, he said that you were going to tell me something about him. He told me not to believe you. That it was just another of your attempts to break us up. What's going on?"

"I'll tell you when I get there." I replied cursing myself.

Why didn't I think that Edward would've gotten to her first. Now she probably wouldn't believe because her precious Edward said she shouldn't. I knew then that this wasn't going to be a very pleasant meeting.

"Okay. I'll see you then."

"Okay. Bye hun."

"Bye."

I flipped the phone shut with a sigh. Jasper wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head again. I wished I could've just stayed in his arms the rest of the night. I could've just forgotten about the whole Edward/Bella mess and been happy right in that moment. However, I knew it was more important to take care of my friend at the moment.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Jasper asked after a minute.

I let out another sigh. I would so love that. However, I knew this was something I had to do on my own. Something that was between Edward, Bella, Jessica, and I. Bella wouldn't have appreciated getting inoccent bystanders caught up in the mess.

"No." I replied. "As much as I would like that. This is something that I have to do on my own. Besides, it would be best if the main players handled it on their own."

"Okay, just remember, I'll be home all night. If she takes it badly and you need me, don't hesitate to call or come over. I'll be here." He said pulling away from me.

"I know." I replied. "I love you."

"I love you too." He brought his lips crashing down onto mine again.

I kissed him back just as passionately as before. We said goodbye for a good five minutes before I finally pushed him away and told him I needed to go. We kissed one last time.

I walked out the door, hoping against hope, that everything wasn't about to blow up in my face.

A/N: Sorry, it's just a filler. I put this scene in for a couple of reasons. First, I didn't want her telling Bella just yet. I'm not sure how I want Bella to react to it. I mean I want their friendship to be strong enough that Bella will believe Alice. However, I want Bella to have to see it to believe it as well. So you see the problem. I'm still trying to work it out. Hopefully, I'll have a something for you tomorrow or Tuesday. The other reason for this chapter is some Jalice fluff. They are my favorite twilight couple and I love them having fluffly stuff. Well, I hope you all enjoyed. Please review and vote on whether or not Jessica is pregnant. So far the no's are winning.
