Jasper was waiting in the parking lot for me when I got of my truck.
"Good morning Bella. Did you sleep well last night?" Jasper asked me with smile that made my heart race.
"Yes, I did thank you." We started walking into the building when we saw Edward. I felt Jasper stiffen beside me. For some reason, Edward was walking in our direction.
"Good morning Jasper, Bella." Jasper didn't respond. He just stood there staring Edward square in the eye.
"Hi Edward." I said, not wanting to be rude.
"What do you want Edward?" Jasper said coldly.
"I was hoping we could talk…about what happened with Alice and me."
"Oh, now you want to talk about it." Jasper's attitude was starting to scare me. Jasper gave me a side glance, as if he knew what I was feeling, and relaxed a little bit. He sighed.
"We can talk later. Don't go to the cafeteria when the lunch bell rings. We'll meet up in the halls and go outside in the forest to talk." Edward smiled at Jasper's response. He looked horrible. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were such a dark brown that they almost looked black. I started to feel bad for him.
"Thank you Jasper. I'll see you in biology Bella." Edward said and walked away.
"You should give him a chance to explain." I told Jasper as we continued to go inside.
"I'll listen to what he has to say." That's he said. I pushed him, wanting badly for Jasper to reconcile with his brother.
"Please Jasper. I know what he did was wrong but just let him to you why he and Alice did what they did. I don't know how close you and Edward were before all of this happened, but judging on how much this situation hurt you, you two must have been pretty close." Jasper didn't answer, so I took that as him saying that he and Edward had a close relationship. I reached my locker. I opened it and got my books while Jasper stood there waiting for me.
"You're right. I should give him a chance to explain." I stopped what I was doing and looked at Jasper. I saw pain and hurt flash in his eyes. When he saw me looking at him, it all disappeared. I frowned.
"What is it?" Jasper asked me. I sighed.
"I…I don't want you to hide what you're feeling from me; can please just…be honest about what's in your mind. You can open up to me; you can trust me." I moved closer to him so now we were face to face. I looked Jasper in his eyes but he stared at the ground.
"Please Jasper; you can talk to me, you know that right?" Finally Jasper met my gaze. He smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.
"Yes, I know that. What's on my mind right now? Alice and Edward. I'm trying to figure out where things with Alice and me went wrong. During the time went my father Carlisle was helping me with my…human blood drinking problem, Alice sort of drifted away. I saw less of her and Edward every day. I didn't think of it as being something that I had to look in to. I thought they just needed to get out of the house while I was working with Carlisle. When I found out that Alice and Edward were secretly seeing each other, I didn't say anything to them. I waited for them to come clean about it; explain their reasoning. But they never did."
"Jasper I am so sorry that all of this happened to you." Jasper looked at me and smiled.
"I'm not. If Alice and I were still together and she never cheated with Edward, I would have never met you and be as happy as I am right now." I exhaled, not realizing that I was holding my breath.
"Oh, yeah." I said with a little chuckle.
"Jasper, when was the last time you spoke to Alice?" I asked. Alice hurt Jasper pretty badly, but I still wanted them to make an effort to at least be friends. Jasper's smile faded.
"I don't know. It's been a while. But I have nothing to say to her." I started to protest but Jasper cut me off.
"But-"
"I know that I'm giving Edward a chance, but that is only because I think it was Alice who started this whole mess and tried to cover her tracks.
"What makes you think that?"
"One night, I was eavesdropping in a conversation they were having. Alice went crazy when Edward thought that I knew about what they were doing. Edward wanted to tell me everything, but Alice told him not to. That is why I will listen to what Edward has to say. When Alice gave him reasons why not to tell me, he agreed with her and went along with the little plan she came up with. That is why I will only listen to what he has to say."
"You said Alice came up with plan, what was it?" Jasper was about to answer when the bell rang; we were late for first period. I badly wanted to know what Alice's plan was.
"I can miss class tell me." Jasper laughed at me.
"No, you can't. We can talk later." Jasper took my hand and squeezed it.
"Fine." I walked into my class right when the teacher was closing the door. I gave him a sheepish smile.
"Try to come to class earlier next time Ms. Swan."
"Sorry." I said as I took my seat. I tried so hard to concentrate on what he teacher was saying, but I just couldn't. My mind kept going back to Jasper, Alice, and Edward. This whole situation was insane, but I had to stick by Jasper's side. I have to help him get through all of this. I could tell that he still had some feelings for Alice, but they were slowly fading. I wasn't sure if Jasper was ready for another relationship, but I knew he wouldn't use me just to deal with his problems with Alice. He wouldn't do that; would he? NO. He wouldn't. Jasper is a good person. He would never do that to anybody. Finally the bell rang. I picked up my things and left. Jasper was waiting for my outside by the door as usual. A smile lit up his face and mine.
"How was class?" Jasper asked as we started walking.
"Um, I don't know; it was kind of hard to focus." Jasper laughed. He knew what or who was on my mind so I didn't need to say. He tsked me.
"Spacing out during class Bella? Maybe you need to clear your thoughts."
"What did you have in mind?" I said smiling. Jasper grinned, grabbed my hand and we went outside. We started walking into the forest when Jasper stopped.
"We would get there much faster if I carried you."
"How do you know? I could easily beat you in a race." In a blink of an eye, Jasper was gone. Five seconds later, he reappeared in front of me. I laughed at him showing off his abilities.
"I highly doubt that." Jasper lifted me into his arms. As Jasper ran through the forest, I kept my eyes open. Everything flew by us, it was all a blur. I was starting to get dizzy so I closed my eyes. I opened them once we reached the meadow. Jasper slowly put me down, and I walked around, wanting to see more of the beautiful scenery. I stopped and turned around, looking at Jasper who was about 20 feet away.
"I love this place." I said, turning back around.
"Me too." Jasper's voice was so close behind me that I jumped a little. He chuckled. I turned and faced him, our faces just inches apart. Jasper pulled me closer to him and I wrapped my arms around him, putting my head on his chest. After a few minutes in peaceful silence, Jasper spoke.
"I want you to meet the rest of my family." I flinched at the thought of meeting Jasper's family. I pulled a little so I could look into Jasper's eyes.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, won't they hate the fact that you've told your families' deepest darkest secret?"
"Well…Rosalie might hate you a little, but the others, they'll love you."
"What about Alice?"
"I'll deal with Alice. You don't have to worry about that."
"Why did you say Rosalie might hate me?" Why would she hate me? I needed to know the answer to that. Jasper let go of me and sat on the ground. I sat with him; he picked up my hand and our fingers laced together.
"Rosalie, she has always wanted children of her own. When she got turned, that opportunity was taken away." Jasper looked me in my eyes, pain flashing in them.
"She never wanted this Bella. None of us did."
"Who changed her?"
"It was Carlisle. He did it because it was his last option. If he had a choice of whether Rosalie stayed human or not, he would have never done it."
"So what you're saying is…vampires can't have kids?"
"Yes. Ever since Rosalie changed, she hasn't been too fond of humans, so if she does hate you when she meets you, don't take it personally."
"Yeah." I said looking at our hands locked together. Jasper lifted chin so he could see my eyes.
"Bella, you don't have to be afraid. We won't hurt you, you know that. No matter how much Rosalie will hate you, she will never put a hand on you." I took Jasper's word for it, but I was still nervous about being introduced to his parents. Jasper smiled at me.
"What if they don't like me?"
"Don't be nervous, I'll right there with you." I smiled. I was still scared about meeting them and seeing Alice, but I didn't tell Jasper that. Jasper sighed and chuckled.
"What?"
"After what I just said to you, you're still scared about meeting them."
"How…how do you know that?" He smiled.
"I know what you're feeling Bella; I feel what you feel." All of a sudden, I felt more calm and relaxed.
"Did you just do that?" I asked a little surprised by my sudden change of mood.
"Yes, I did. I don't want you worrying about meeting them. Everything will be fine." Jasper put his hand on my cheek and I shivered under his touch. Jasper moved my face closer to his and inhaled; I exhaled, not noticing I was holding my breath. He lightly brushed his lips across mine. The need for him to kiss me was insane. I closed the space between us and pushed my lips against his. Our lips moved in sync, as if they've been doing this for years. We broke the kiss to get air. We were both breathing heavily.
"We should get back." I hesitantly got up as Jasper let go of my face. Jasper stood up and held his arms out in front of him. I smiled and positioned myself in his arms. I closed my eyes, not wanting to be taken over by dizziness. In a few seconds, we were back on the school parking lot.

I gently put Bella down.
"Don't forget to talk to Edward okay?" Bella said. I smiled at the effort she was making for Edward and me.
"I won't." I took her hand kissed the back of it. Bella's feelings came in a rush. Happiness; excitement; love. She loves me. I am glad, because I love her too.
"I will see you after school." I said, still holding on to her hand.
"Okay. You'll tell me how things went with Edward?"
"I'll tell you tonight." She smiled, knowing that I will be in her room again.
"Okay, I'll see you later." We talked through the doors and went our separate ways, her class being on the side of the building from mine. Just as I walked up to the door of my class, the bell rang. I turned and walked to my next class, regretting that I won't have time to walk Bella to hers. I spent the class thinking about what Edward was going to tell me. What was he going to say? He's sorry he couldn't keep his hands off my wife? As anger crept into me, an image of Bella did as well, with concern and sadness in her eyes. Me not talking to Edward was hurting her. She wants us to be friends again and just put everything that happened behind us. I can't forgive Edward and act as if nothing happened, but I have to try; for Bella. The bell rang and it was time to go to lunch. I walked down the hall and saw Edward. I walked past him, and went out the door.

Jasper walked right pass me and out the building. I followed him outside and into the forest. We were in the clearing in a matter of seconds. Jasper turned and faced me with pain burning in his eyes.
"Why did you do it Edward?
