A/N: I don't own squat.

Bella and I had been on Isle Esme for about a week. We were currently laying on the couch. The original plan had been to watch the news, but that plan was quickly forgotten when I noticed Bella's lack on interest in the news.

"Bored, Darlin'?" I had asked her.

"Just a little," She'd said.

"What would you rather be doing?" I'd asked her.

"You," She'd said, smiling at me shyly.

"Oh, well, I think we can handle that." I'd said.

She leaned toward me, and gently touched her lips to mine. I put one hand in her hair, and wrapped the other arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me. She giggled, and knotted her hands into my hair. I leaned back, pulling Bella down on top of me. She unbuttoned my shirt, and pushed it off of me, then pulled her green tee shirt over her head. She laid back down on me, and our lips met again.

I started playing with the buckle of Bella's belt. She moved one hand to loosen it when I heard a passing boat stop. Seconds later, Edward burst into the room. Bella broke away from me, and looked over her shoulder.

"Edward!" She gasped. I felt her worry and fear.

I jumped to my feet, keeping Bella pulled tight against my chest. I stooped quickly, and grabbed my white button down shirt off the ground, wrapped it around Bella's shoulders, then pulled her against me again.

"I just want to talk to Bella, Jasper." Edward said.

"Then talk." I growled.

Edwards eyes moved from my face to Bella's. Bella slid her arms into the shirt, buttoned it, then turned to face Edward.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I truly am. I should never have done what I did." Edward said pleadingly.

"No, you shouldn't have." Bella said. I felt her fingers touch mine, and I wound my hand into hers.

"Please, Bella," Edward begged. "Please, take me back, love."

Bella bit her lip and slowly shook her head. "No, Edward," Bella whispered, voice cracking. "I forgive you for what you put me through. But, Jasper is so much better for me than you."

I felt Edward's heart shatter, and groaned almost silently, closing my eyes. I suddenly felt Bella's hand disappear from mine, and Edwards rock hard body slam into mine. I felt his teeth tear into me repeatedly, and I couldn't even open my eyes. Somewhere through the pain, I wondered where Bella had gone. Her hand had been in mine, but it disappeared when Edwards body hit me. I forced myself to open my eyes, and saw Bella lying on the floor. Her mouth was moving, but I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying. I finally realized that she was screaming for Edward to stop. I then realized that I was screaming in agony every time Edwards teeth tore into me. I finally managed to kick him in the stomach, throwing him off of me.

"Jasper!" Bella sobbed. I knelt beside her.

"Did he hurt you?" I whispered. She shook her head.

"Bella--" Edward started, slowly walking across the room towards us.

"Leave." I spat at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Leave, Edward. Just go." I growled.

"Look, Jasper, I can explain, I--"

"Go!" I roared. "For her." I said more calmly. "If you love her, then go."

Edward spun on his heel and ran from the house.

"Did he hurt you?" Bella asked immediately.

"I'll be fine, Bella." I said, gently lifting her off the floor and sitting back on the couch. Tears streaked down her face, and she shoved her lips against mine, surprising me. She pressed her lips to my shoulders, my neck, my arms, my chest, my stomach, kissing every scar Edward had given me.

"I'm so sorry..." She murmured between kisses. I put my hand on her head and stroked her hair. Her head fell into my lap, and she was sobbing loudly.

"Bella..." I murmured, lifting her so that she was cradled in my arms. I wiped away the tears that were pouring down her cheeks. "Shh, honey, it's okay." I whispered into her hair.

"He...hurt....you..." Bella sobbed.

"I am completely fine, Bella." After a moment, I said, "Are you sure that you're not hurt, Sweetheart?"

"Yes, I'm sure," She said.

I held her until she was calm again.

"I love you," She whispered into my neck, where her head was currently resting.

"I love you, too, Darlin'." I responded. I leaned down to kiss Bella's cheek. "More than anything."
