A/N: So, here is the next chapter. Um………yeah, don't own it….

Chapter 12: Two is better than One (Awwwww)

So maybe it's true, that I can't live without you. Maybe two is better than one. There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life and you've already got me coming undone, and I'm thinking two is better than one… Cause when I close my eyes and drift away, I think of you and everything's okay, I'm finally now believing.

Jasper POV

"Bella…where's Bella?" I felt as if I could cry, if it were possible. "Darlin', where is she? Is she safe?"

"Yeah, Jazz, she's safe. Rest, Carlisle is coming." Emmett turned around, and Carlisle was just standing there as if he was in deep thought. "He's going to be okay, right?" Emmett pulled Carlisle out of his worries.

"Yes, son, he will be fine. How's Bella? I'm taking it that the news about her father didn't go over well. Esme is on the phone with Renee now." I felt so guilty about leaving her here by herself. I wonder if she would ever be able to forgive me. Carlisle drifted off, this really had affected him. There wasn't much more any of us could do, and I sure as fuck couldn't do anything. I could barely fucking move. I heard Emmett stand up and place a chair by the sofa. I started moaning in agony. I could hear Bella upstairs crying and talking to Rose. After a few more minutes, I heard her coming down the stairs.

"Jasper," I heard Bella speak, and it broke my heart. She was so sad and worried. If I had a beating heart, it would be broken. "Jasper, honey," I knew that as she stepped closer to me she would see my new scars. I could hear the air rush out of her lungs. She knelt down next to me and took my hand in hers before she kissed my knuckles. "Jazz…"

"Darlin', I am so sorry. How will you ever forgive me darlin'?" My voice barely came to a whisper. I took hold of her hand, I never wanted to let go.

"I already have Jazzy." She sobbed harder into my chest, she never let go of my hand. Her breathing evened out, and slowly she drifted off to sleep. I ran my finger threw her hair, placing soft kisses on her forehead. I just held her there.

"Jasper?" I looked behind Bella and saw Rosalie. "Do you want me to take Bella upstairs, so she can actually sleep?"

"No."

"She looks really uncomfortable Jasper, please."

"No. She's staying with me."

Emmett then chimed in and his idea wasn't fucking retarded. "Do you want us to move both of you up there? She needs to be in a bed, but I understand where you're coming from."

"I guess that would be okay…" I refused to let go of Bella as they were carrying us upstairs. Correction, Bella refused to let go of me. Every time Emmett tried to take her she'd start crying. It was some pretty funny shit seeing Emmett's face. He looked confused and angry that he wasn't getting his way. They carefully placed us in my bed, Emmett tried again to reposition her, it was not happening. "Jesus Christ Emmett. Just leave her where she is. Its fine."

"But she looks like she's so uncomfortable!"

"If she's fucking uncomfortable she'll move herself. Now leave her." I could feel my anger building until Bella's voice came through.

"Really?! Really now?! Emmett shut the fuck up and STOP touching me. I'm trying to fucking sleep." Now that's my Bella. Whoa what the fuck! My Bella?? Emmett started laughing as he walked out of the room with Rose. "Jasper, don't ever do that to me again. Don't make me worry about you. Next time just stay with me."

"There won't be a next time Bella. I promise. Rest now." She quickly fell back asleep and I called quietly for Rose to bring a blanket for her. I sat watching her sleep for about seven and a half hours. She looked so peaceful but her feelings were anything but. I felt turmoil, sadness, regret, anxiousness, and blissfulness. She was also feeling curious. At one point in the night, her turmoil spiked, and there was some heavy fear added in.

"Jasper…no…Charlie…Edward…don't…please…go…stop. JASPER!" She screamed my name and woke with a start.

"Shh, Bella. It's okay. I'm right here. I'm here."

"But you weren't. You weren't with me. I didn't know where you were. I didn't know if you were safe. You lied to me Jasper. You told me you wouldn't get hurt. You lied. Why did you lie to me? Why couldn't you stay with me? Why couldn't you protect Charlie?"

"Bella, honey. I'm sorry. I'm here now. I'm not leaving you again. I'm safe, we're all safe. I'm sorry I lied to you. It kills me knowing that I broke my promise to you. I had to go. I'm the only one who knows how to fight newborns. I tried to protect your father Bella. I really did, but I was too late. I'm sorry." I dry sobbed into her hair and she hugged me as tight as she could muster. How did she end up being the one to comfort me?

"Okay Jasper. I'm sorry for freaking out on you. Its just all so much for me to deal with."

"Never apologize to me for anything. None of this is your fault. If you blame anyone blame me. I was the one who couldn't keep everyone safe."

"Jasper…stop!!! Blame anyone but you. Hell, blame Alice for all I care, but do not blame yourself." I nodded my head and kissed her hair.

"Okay Bella, but you cant blame yourself either. Its not your fault." She nodded her head and buried her head into my chest. Before I knew it, she was asleep in my arms again, but this time, she slept peacefully. When she woke up next, she was smiling, happy, and hungry. "Bella, did Emmett forget to feed you?" Three, two, one…

"I did not forget to feed the human!!! She's the one who wouldn't eat anything because she was so worried about you Jasper."

"Is that true Bella?" She nodded her head slowly and looked ashamed. "You need to eat Bella. Can you eat for me?"

"Yeah Jasper. Anything for you." I smiled at her and she returned my smile tenfold. I carried her downstairs with Emmett following close behind.

"How bad was she Emm?"

"She was pretty fucked up. She couldn't eat, she could barely sleep, and she was so worried about you." We were talking too low for Bella to hear us. "And then when she found out about Charlie and you getting hurt, it only got worse. She broke down, and Rose had to help her, I didn't know what to do."

"Oh man, I did all that? I caused her not to eat, to constantly worry, and break her heart. I broke her heart when I broke my promise." I was expecting Emmett to answer me, I was more or less thinking out loud.

"Yeah, pretty much." A low growl built in my chest.

"Really, Emmett, you didn't need to answer that." I walked Bella into the kitchen. "What would you like to eat darlin'?" She looked up at me.

"Umm, I don't know."

"Can I surprise you?" Her brows knitted in confusion. "I know you don't like surprises, but please darlin', I would like to make you something to eat. To make up for what I did to you. You know, not eating because you worried over me. So let me try." She nodded her head, still in thought. I opened the fridge and found everything to make Hush Puppies, Collard Greens and Fried Chicken.

"Jasper, not to sound rude, but cant vampires not cook?"

"That's the one thing I remember from my human life. How to cook good southern food." Bella smiled at me and we made idle chit chat while all the food was cooking. (Skip past eating and all that boring stuff…) I watched her eat and when she was done I took her plate from her. "You know it's a pretty nasty day out, you want to go out for a walk." She looked at me and then glanced out the window. "Well, its cloudy." She giggled.

"Okay, okay. I'll go get ready!" I watched her walk out of the kitchen, I knew I had a big smile on my face.

Bella POV

I walked out of the kitchen and upstairs with a huge smile on my face. I swung open the door to Jasper's room and walked over to a suitcase full of clothes. "GAH!!" Alice was sitting on the bed, looking all relaxed.

"You know, this was my happy place. My place with him. Huh, to lose that to someone I thought was a friend. So what are you Rosalie's new best friend?" she looked at me, I was speechless.

"Umm, I guess so." I shifted nervously on my feet.

"Well there's a few things you should know about your precious Jasper. He's not as good as you think he is. But he's pulled you in, now your addicted. You always just have to have one more touch. You think he lied to about not getting hurt. He will always hurt you, he will always lie. He'll tell you what you want to hear, he'll break your heart like he broke mine. Get out of this before it's too late." I had stopped listening to her, I know Jasper would never do that to me. "I see that look on your face Bella. You're not even listening to me. Bella he will build you up then break you down, I can promise you that!" Right then Jasper walked into the room, came in front of me, a growl coming from his chest. He stood protectively in front of me. "Bella, please, he will tell you lies. Over and over again, he'll never stop! Get out before he breaks your heart! Please Bella listen to me!"

"Alice, I don't believe you. Alice, you walked out on him. Please, just leave me alone. Don't you think of been through enough!"

"Alice, just leave. This is getting out of hand!" Jasper couldn't even control his voice.

"Jasper, I loved you. Couldn't you feel it? I gave you everything, every part of me. I was your best friend, now my world has crumbled. I can't get you off my mind. I sat here in this room that used to be ours, and all I could smell was her. All over this place. All the years I loved you, you throw it out the window like it's yesterday's trash. One day you won't have Bella, and you'll wish that you had chose me over her! I will be in your memory, laughing that you didn't chose me. I will remember all those times I made love to you..." Jasper cut her rant off.

"Alice leave now! You walked out of my life." Alice got that distant look in her eyes. When she finally came back. She sobbed tearlessly.

"Huh, I can't believe this. Have a nice life Jasper! This will be the last you will ever have to see me. I'm sorry for intruding. Good-bye Jasper." She walked over, he straightened up, she gently kissed his cheek.

"Good-bye Alice." And with that she left the room through the window.
