Sorry about the wait guys. Things have been hectic around here.

anyway, this chapter kind of goes by fast. especially in the beggining.

Thank you SOOOO much for the reviews everybody! you're all amazing!!!

I looked up and forced a smile.

"Oh…hey, Mike."

UGH! Of course!

Of all the people that could come and ruin my moment with Jasper, it HAS to be Mike!

Life really does hate me.

"I'm surprised to see you here Bella…with…Jasper was it?" Mike asked, with his head cocked to the side, while looking like a complete moron.

Jasper, who was now seeming very focused on reading the Menu, looked up reluctantly and managed a small smile.

"Hello, Mike," He said politely before once again turning back to the menu…as if he needed it!

"Umm, anyway… where's Cullen? You two are always together. Not that it's any of my business, but-"

I cut him off before he could finish.

"You're right Mike, It's NOT any of your business! Why don't you just…"
I stopped and noticed that he was wearing a blue uniform and holding a note pad.

I was confused for a moment, and then it dawned on me.

"You work here?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Oh, yeah," he smiled sheepishly. "I need to save up for college and stuff."

"Oh, well…" I felt dumb. One minute I was yelling at him and now what?

Thank goodness Jasper decided to intercept just then.

"I want the chocolate chip pancake special with a sprite," he said casually.

I almost felt like laughing. It just looked so weird to see any of the Cullens order food. They always look a little worried.

Mike reluctantly looked away from me and wrote it down.

When he was done, he glanced at me and raised his eyebrows expectantly.

I blushed and ordered too.

When he finally left I let out a sigh of relief.

"Well…that wasn't awkward at all," Jasper whispered sarcastically.

We both started laughing, mostly because of his power than the joke.

Soon after we calmed down Mike came by and put our drinks down but before he left, he looked from Jasper to me with suspicion.

I sighed. I hated having to hide this. But, what was 'this' anyway? I loved Jasper, but how did we get this far so soon? I felt horrible. Edward was only gone a couple days and I was sleeping with his brother! It was all overwhelming me in dark clouds of despair.

Jasper, having the power he does, noticed my mood instantly. I could feel the calm emotions he was forcing at me. But I didn't want them. I wanted to drown in the feeling of what a horrible person I was.

What was going to happen once Edward came back? And what about Jasper and Alice?

I started hyperventilating. I couldn't breathe. We went in way over our heads. This happened all too fast.

I could tell Jasper getting nervous. "Bella. Bella are you okay?"

I wasn't. And he knew.

"I'm not hungry anymore," I managed.

"shhh, It's okay." And suddenly I was being picked up by Jasper, as if I weighed nothing.

We were half way out when Mike bumped into us.

"I got your food," He started, but once he saw my face he stopped. "Bella are you okay?"

Jasper just reached into his pocket and handed him money.

"Keep the change. I'm sorry about this." And then we left.

I could almost feel Mike's stare as Jasper carried me to the car.

Half way home and I was feeling a little better, but not completely.

Jasper sighed and I looked at him in the corner of my eye.

"What was that Bella? Your emotions were going haywire in there. What did I do to make you feel so miserable?" He looked truly confused and very sad.

That just made me feel worse.

"Jasper, you did absolutely NOTHING wrong! It's me who I'm disgusted with,"

My voice broke and I looked out the window to see that we were now home and it was raining.

He let go of the wheel and turned in the seat so that we were now looking at each other.

"And what is it that you think you did wrong Bella? Because I can come up with nothing. You're perfect."

I laughed a shaky breath that came out sounding strangled.

"If you think I'm perfect, then you're truly delusional." I couldn't breathe anymore, I had to get some air.

I quickly undid my seat belt and opened my door, but in my haste I tripped on my way out. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact of the floor, but it never came.

Two strong arms embraced me from behind lovingly.

Jasper stood me straight and looked me in the eye.

"What are you talking about Bella," He asked, ignoring the fact that we were getting soaked in the rain.

"Jasper, how did we let it get this far? What are we going to do when they get back in a couple of days? Pretend this never happened!? We didn't think this through!"

I let the tears overflow and slide down my cheeks.

Jasper's head was down and his eyes were closed shut.

It was a second before he took an unneeded breath and looked up. The rain poring down his face made him look like, he too, was crying. And despite the sadness in his bright topaz eyes, he never looked more beautiful.

"I know that Bella! Okay, I already know! It's going to kill me every time he touches you. Knowing that I CAN'T. I've already thought of all of that. And…yes, I do think we should just forget it…well, that's what I'm trying to tell myself at least. It'd be a lot easier, that way we don't break their hearts too. But I'm having a really hard time…"

I closed my eyes tight and wished that I'd wake up from this dream soon. How could I hurt this much? It felt like my heart was tearing apart at the seams.

It felt like the world was spinning and any second I might fall.

How did this happen? I kept asking myself.

Was this meant to be? Were WE meant to be?

He must have been thinking the same thing, because right then, Jasper took my by the shoulders and made me look at him.

"How do you feel about me Bella?" There was something about the way that he asked me that made my knees weak.

I looked up at him. The rain making me blink repeatedly.

I shook my head.

"I don't know how I feel about anything anymore."

Jasper searched my eyes. I felt like he could see right into me.

Then he managed a small smile.

"I Do," He said, before his lips came crashing down on mine.

I almost got knocked down by the impact. I soon recovered and kissed him back with as much passion as I could muster. We both put our hearts and souls in that kiss. It seemed to last forever, and I wanted to stay in that moment forever.

I could feel different emotions flying around in the air. Our love for each other was electrifying.

I felt him lift me onto the hood of the car as we continued to kiss. I was soon in serious need of air so he stopped and leaned his forehead against mine.

We were both panting hard.

"I love you Bella."

I smiled. "I love you too Jasper. So much."

He wrapped his strong arms around me and held me close to him, as If I were going to disappear any second.

We pulled back once more to kiss.

Our lips weren't even an inch apart when the phone rang.

He looked confused as he reached into his pocket for the phone.

He looked at the ID even though we both knew who it was.

His eyes seemed to show a thousand different emotions as he looked me in the eye.

"It's Alice."

So, how is everyone? lol

OH!!! what do you guys think of the cast for the movie? MAN OH MAN Have you Seen Jasper's hair? lol. It looks pretty funky.

I think they did okay on the most part though.
