Okay. I am seriously considering halting my story until I get a sufficient amount of reviews. Until then, however, please enjoy this continuation of What You've Done...
JPOV:
I am very surprised that Edward was able to leave, especially with Bella here today. He must really want to help get Bella back with him...
"Jasper?" Bella called, bringing me back to earth.
"Sorry, Bells. What's up?" I responded.
"Where's Edward going?" she asked me, half wondering, half not wanting to know.
"Truthfully, I have no idea. I'm the one with feelings, Bella, remember?" I joked.
"Ha. Yea, okay. So, um..." Bella stammered.
"Ok. So today I want to start with why you wrote that poem. What was your motive?"
"You make me feel like a murderer, Jazz. 'Motive'? Jeez." Bella responded, clearly procrastinating.
"Bella...Answer me, please." I pressed.
"Fine. Do you really want to know Jasper, why I wrote the poem? DO YOU?" Bella unexpectedly exploded.
I nodded. Then she continued:
"I wrote it because I was upset. I was sad, and angry, and most of all really pissed off! I couldn't fathom WHY he left me. I couldn't think of any other reason WHY, except that he DIDN'T LOVE ME! All I kept thinking was that I was just another passing fancy, a silly little whim of his, you know. One of those things to do before he turned a hundred and ten. Why not love a human for a bit. Why not test my limits, and see if don't kill her? Sure, it'll take up all of my lying skills, but, hey, she won't be too harmed. After all, time heals all wounds for a human!"
"Bella, you need to believe when I say that you were NEVER just a passing fancy. Believe it when I say that he did love you." I told her, hoping to calm her down a bit. I could tell that she was getting angrier with every word that passed between us, but I didn't want to influence her emotions. Not yet.
"Well, Jasper, that is what I felt. Now if you'll let me finish..." she said.
"Go on."
"Well, I thought all of this after I got over being sad - no, depressed. I decided not to stay depressed; it hurt Charlie too much. So I decided to 'get over Edward' as much as I could. But I was still angry. That was when I turned to writing. I wrote and I wrote, mostly about how I had felt about Edward, and how I felt about him after he left. After all this writing, I would save it in a folder I had..."
"Go on." I encouraged.
"After the anger had subsided a bit, self-doubt came rolling in. I couldn't stop thinking that I had this coming. That I should have known that he would grow tired of me soon, want something better." she stopped suddenly.
"Bella?" I called her softly.
"I burned them, you know." she answered with a far away voice.
"What, Bella? What did you burn?" I asked, already knowing.
"The folder. I couldn't keep it. Any of it. But as I was burning everything, piece by piece, I came across the poem. I didn't want him to read it, not really. I just wanted to save it, you know? Just in case. But now I realize that a part of me DID want him to read it. Just so he could know a bit of what I was feeling."
"Bella, you've done really well. I just want to ask one question, before I call Edward to come back." I informed her.
"Ok..."
"Why did you go back to Edward when he came looking for your forgiveness? Why did you so easily forgive him, when you were - are - feeling like this?" I asked, honestly wondering.
"Because I still love him." she answered, as if the answer was blatantly obvious.
"That's all I wanted to know. Now, is it okay if I call Edward to come back? Are you comfortable with him being in here with you. or would you rather I saw him alone, and then brought you two together?" I said, giving her the options I know she would want.
"Is it okay if I wait with Alice while you talk with him?" Bella asked tentatively.
"Sure." I replied. "Excuse me, for a sec Bells." I said as I called Edward.
"Edward, you can come now." I told him over the phone.
Okay, Jasper. Thanks for doing this.
"No problem Edward. See you in a - " I was cut off as there was a knock on my door.
When I turned to go get it, I was shocked to see that Bella had already opened it.
Cliffy. Ha ha ha. Maybe now you people out there will review!
