Holy Crap! I can not believe the response to last chapter, 9,460 hits and 220 reviews! That is amazing, thank you so much! So as promise here is the next chapter. See you at the bottom.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but an overactive imagination and a slight (okay maybe huge) obsession with Jasper.

Jasper's POV

It had been a week since I'd seen or spoken to Bella, and honestly I didn't blame her. What happened with Maria would make any girl run for the hills and go into hiding, but really how believable would it be if I told her Maria attacked me, attacked twice in under a week was a new record.

After Bella ran out of the deli things got a little crazier.

Flashback

Bella walked out faster than the speed of light, I pushed Maria off me and she looked up at me with shock.

"Jazzy, what are you doing?"

"Maria, I already told you I don't want to do this anymore. I've fallen in love with someone and thanks to your little stunt she will probably never speak to me again!"

I was pissed, sad and I had a horrible tugging in my chest that wouldn't go away.

"Come on, Jazzy. How would you know that you're in love when you've never committed to a woman before."

Damn, did everyone think that way about me? Believe me when I say, I had never wanted to hit a woman more than I did at that moment.

"Maria, you don't know anything about me or the way I feel about Bella, so keep your mouth shut! Now if you'll excuse me I need to go find Bella, and leave me the hell alone."

As I stood up I felt a hand smack across my face, with impossible force from the tiny woman in front of me.

"You'll be sorry, Jasper Cullen," she cackled, like the wicked witch of the west, and stormed out the front door on her broomstick, suddenly Emmett and Edward were in front of me.

"You're lucky I heard everything that just happened or Maria wouldn't have been the only one to hit you today," Em said smiling slightly..

"Can we just find Bella please?" I asked feeling like crap.

We walked out of the deli, and Em decided to call her office and Edward decided to text her. When Em couldn't get a hold of her at the office, he started to panic, and I felt sick to my stomach. In the short amount of time I had known Bella I'd given her no reason to trust me, yet I kept asking her to give me a chance. I felt like I was going to pass out when Edward announced Bella answered his text.

"Alice picked her up and she's heading home, she said she'd text you Em in a minute."

Immediately I saw Em's facial features relax knowing Bella was safe. Seconds later I heard Em's phone beep notifying him of a message, he opened his phone and his face fell.

"What's wrong Em?" I asked getting really concerned.

"It's nothing, don't worry."

I didn't believe him for two seconds, so I snatched the phone from his hands and saw the message was from Bella.

Em I'm okay, Alice is driving me home. I called Carmen and left a message, so please stop worrying and one last thing, when I come back tomorrow please keep Jasper away from me, my heart can't take it – B

I almost crumbled to the ground when I saw the message, I knew I had broken her heart and wouldn't be able to fix it easily.

So now here I sat in my apartment hating myself. She hadn't come online since the night before lunch. I kept hounding Em and Edward to tell me how she was but Em wasn't willing to give up any information, luckily for me, my other brother was now dating her room-mate and a lot more willing to tell me, but all it did was make me feel worst and it repeated over and over in my head.

"She's a mess Jasper; she's like the living dead. She hardly leaves her room and cries herself to sleep every night."

I hated knowing the pain I had caused her, and found tears in my eyes most nights as well.

It was eight o'clock and I signed on as I had been doing since that lunch hoping she would finally come on, I sighed heavily when I saw that she was still set to offline. I decided to send some emails and prayed that she would come on.

Around 8:30 as I was about to sign off, I heard the message alert sound, and when I saw the name of the sender I felt my heart start beating, like it hadn't in days.

TinkerBells: Please forgive me J! I've had a horrible week and haven't even thought of using the computer

I felt horrible that she was apologizing, because little did she know I was the reason behind her horrible week.

JazzHands: Please don't apologize Tinks, I've been so caught up in work I've barely had time to come on anyways. Feel like talking about horrible week?

TinkerBells: I'm so glad you're not mad! It's a really long story I don't want to bore you

JazzHands: Keep typing Tinks!

Of course I already knew why her week was bad, but I really wanted to know how she honestly felt.

TinkerBells: Well I went to lunch with the usual two, plus the guy I told you about and I'm pretty sure the two set it up but anyways they leave the table so it's me and him he tells me he has feelings for me asks me to give him a chance then one of his hoochies walks up and sticks her tongue down his throat. So I ran out and the real kicker is that I was going to say yes to him and know I'm spending my day trying to figure out how to avoid him. Sorry for the rambling!

I felt my stomach sink when she said she was going to say yes to me, and now she was trying to hide from me, on some level I knew that, but to have it confirmed kind of sucked, it was then I got an idea.

She was avoiding Jasper, but she wasn't avoiding J.

So I devised a plan, but I needed some help, it was time to call in reinforcements.

Bella's POV

I was glad that after ignoring the computer for the past week J was still willing to talk to me. I hated to bug him with my problems, but he was the only one I could talk to about Jasper and not see the sympathy on their face, and a bonus he didn't know Jasper.

JazzHands: Don't apologize, so why exactly are you avoiding him?

TinkerBells: Because every time I see him my heart hurts, I think I fell in love with him (is that crazy?) and that hoochie proved that I would always be compared to the glamazons he's surrounded by and I just don't measure up.

Yes, it was true. I fell in love with the womanizing player named Jasper Cullen, and yes I knew I was crazy, but I was seeking a second opinion.

JazzHands: First off don't put yourself down, and no I don't think you're crazy for falling in love with him because from the sounds of it, I'm pretty sure he's fallen in love with you as well

TinkerBells: I'm sorry for dumping all this on you but I can't talk to anyone else here because they'll go and run to tell him considering 2 out of my 3 friends in New York are his brothers

As I waited for his response, Alice burst through my door, chatting away on her cell and heading for my closet.

"Alice! It's called knocking, you should try it sometime."

"No, I prefer things this way, plus it's an emergency, I think I mixed up our laundry because I'm missing my purple dress and I need it!"

She then proceeds to throw clothes all over my floor, I turned back to my computer screen to see the message J had sent me.

JazzHands: Well than how about we meet, grab some coffee and we can talk, you get a new friend (that you actually know what they look like) and I get to meet the amazing girl I've been talking to for a year.

I froze, we had talked about meeting a few times but I was still sceptical considering he could be a creepy old man who grabbed girls he met online.

"Alice! Need help now! Get off the phone!" I yelled.

"Chill, Bella! I'll talk to you later, Em," she said then hung up and walked over, as I pointed to the computer screen, her eyes lit up.

"What's the problem? Say yes!"

I shook my head 'no'. Alice had been trying to convince me to meet J since we found out we were coming to New York.

"Alice, what if he's an escaped mental patient who captures young girls he meets online. Do you really not care that I'd be all alone with this crazy guy who could potentially chop me up into little pieces?" I asked, and she laughed her high pitched pixie laugh.

"Silly, Bella, I'm not going to let you go by yourself. Find out where he wants to meet,and have Em stay in his car hidden from sight. If lover boy is crazy run to Em, if he's who he says he is, text Em and have him leave. See it all works out in the end."

Damn it, Alice had a point. I had the Hulk for protection.

"Alice, get Emmett on the phone."

A huge smile spread across her face and she did her squealing thing, while dialling.

TinkerBells: Sorry for slow response, room-mate barged in. I think it's a great idea, where would you want to meet?

JazzHands: How about you pick?

TinkerBells: How about the coffee shop at W. 56th and 6th avenue? If that's too far we'll find somewhere else.

JazzHands: No problem, that's fairly close to me, say 8 o'clock? Tomorrow?

I quickly grabbed Alice's cell from her ear.

"Em, what are you doing tomorrow at eight?"

"That's no way to treat your favourite boss! And according to the pixie I'll be at W.56th and 6th avenue doing surveillance," he said laughing and I joined in, of course Alice was reading the conversation over my shoulder.

"Thanks, Em!"

"No problem Bells, I'll be watching you!" he said in a creepy stalker voice then hung up.

TinkerBells: Tomorrow at 8 it is

JazzHands: Great! I'm sorry to cut the conversation short but my cell phone is ringing off the hook. So I'll see you tomorrow, I can't wait. Sweet dreams Tinks!

TinkerBells: No problem, I can't wait either, see you at 8! Sweet dreams J!

I signed off and Alice appeared in front of me.

"You know what this means right?" she asked and I shook my head 'no'.

"Shopping!" she squealed and I groaned.

I realized tomorrow was going to be a very long day.

A/N Okay, so I know it is short, but to make up for it I will be posting tomorrow and it's going to be the BIG one everyone has been waiting for. Our two lovebirds will finally meet as JazzHands and TinkerBells! Now I've had a few of you express your concern about what has been happening on this site. I will continue to post for as long as they will let me, and I will not be removing any stories, but if one of my stories are removed I will find another place to write so rest assured I will finish my stories but it just may be somewhere else.
