Twilight is the property of Stephenie Meyer. I just like playing with the characters, especially Jasper.
This is a drabble.
I was a quick wet boy
Diving too deep for coins

Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you?

Part 10
He left one hand on Bella's shoulder while he pulled up a chair.
"I wish I could make this go away completely," he said.
She looked down at her hands. It was hard to look someone in the face. She always felt so dirty. Dirty and busted.
The internal pain flooded back then retreated. She closed her eyes, relishing the relief.
"I know something about pain," he said.
Her eyes flicked open. He put his hand to the candle flame and turned it. It gleamed slightly, but she saw raised edges of scars, a patchwork. She gasped and reached for his hand.
The hand was cold and hard, but she didn't care. She only had eyes for the scars.
"Who did this?" she whispered.
"Someone who I thought loved me had me do terrible things. Painful to me, painful to others. Those are bite marks."
She turned his hand over and ran her fingers down his wrist, pushing back the sleeve of his coat. She could feel the little bumpy scars all over his arm.
"Do you want me to?" he asked.
"To what?"
"Take away the pain?" he said.
