I walked up the stairs to my room, Bella following me. I sat down on my bed, and scooted towards the middle. Bella sat on the edge, eying me warily. I grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her into my side.

"Bella, back when I still lived in Texas, there was this… girl. She was perfectly beautiful, though she had nothing on you. Anyway, she was exactly what any guy would've wanted. Sometime when I was in the 10th grade and she was in the 11th, she started liking me. I eventually asked her out. We dated for a while, and things were going great. Even though we were so young, I planned on marrying her. I had started saving up for a ring, a really nice one from Tiffany's. She had told me once that she wanted to stay together forever, but I guess that wasn't true. One day, I asked her about her thoughts on marriage. She asked me if I planned on marrying her. I asked her if she wanted that.

'Jasper, I love you so much, and even though we're so young, I would love to get engaged, and then get married when we graduate. I want the whole deal with you. The 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house, The 2.5 kids, a dog, cat, the whole lot.'

I was glad, so that's when I went to pick up the ring. I went to the flower store as well, and bought a bouquet. I arrived at Maria's house, and her mom gave me a knowing smile, and told me that Maria was upstairs. I went up, to see her with… with my best friend. I remember running out, and then I remember a call at about midnight. It was Maria. I really believed that I loved her, so I picked up.

'Jasper, my mother. My mother hates you, she forced me to be there like…that…with him when you got there.'

I hung up; I just couldn't stand to hear her. I sort of believed her; her mother did really hate me since the beginning.

The next day, when I went to school, I saw them everywhere. They had suddenly become the school's 'it couple', even though they weren't dating. I was healing, slowly. I remember, at the beginning of the year, being so sad that I didn't have any classes with either of them, but now, I was glad. Because she was a year older, she couldn't go into our hall without having some reason, but she was clever, and started finding ways. Anytime I would see her coming, I would hide somewhere, whether it was the bathroom, or a classroom, I even stuffed myself into a couple of lockers. Needless to say, I was so pleased when my mom finally divorced my dad, and then moved us here, last year. I got a chance to start over.

But, Bella, Edward is a rather attractive guy, so when I heard him say that, I thought that you really had left me for him. Bella, you are nothing like Maria, and for that I am grateful. If you were, I couldn't love you. Because of her, I acted as though you, one of the kindest, sweetest, most genuine people that I know, would've stooped down to her level. I'm so messed up. God, you shouldn't have fallen in love with me."

It had taken a lot of guts to tell Bella all of that. No one else had ever heard that story. She sat up a bit more, and ran her fingers through my hair. She pondered what I said for a moment, and then began to speak.

"Jasper, I know that it took a lot for you to tell me that, and I appreciate the fact that you trust me enough to tell me that. But Jasper, I'm not Maria, and I'm more than a little insulted that you would think that I would ever cheat on you. You need to have faith in me, and if you can, then I know for a fact that I will have faith in you.

You know that I'm not perfect, my mother has done some serious things to screw me up. And after seeing that affect my dad, I was ready to take up residence in a nunnery. But then I met you, and everything seemed okay. I was a total nerdbomber, there was no reason for you to like me. Yet, numerous times, I caught you looking at me. You have no clue how happy I was when you asked me out.

But I have never lied to you, and I have never, ever, been unfaithful, and I really think that you need to get over Maria. Just… forget about her. I'm sorry that that happened to you, but she had to've been crazy to cheat on you."

"Bella, I'm sorry," I said holding her closer to me.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, and pulled me closer, as well. "No, you don't need to apologize, just stop jumping to conclusions. Can you do that?"

I nodded, pressed my lips to hers, pulled the blanket up over us, and brushed her hair back from her face. She snuggled up into my side, and we went to sleep.

I'd told Bella my most coveted secret. I had known for a while that I liked guys, but there were also some girls I like. I mean, I loved Alice, I really did, but she just wasn't exactly what I wanted. I wanted Jasper…

But there was no way that I could come out publicly, until after the school year ended. People in Forks were very narrow-minded. If they didn't understand something, they didn't like it, and that included, gays, lesbians, and most foreigners. I'd been taking a risk to tell Bella, and she so understood, even going as far as to crack a joke.

"I don't care, just don't steal my man!"

I was afraid though. What if they told other people? What would happen then?

What the duck?

My best friend was cheating on a hot, blonde Texan, with my stupid, moronic, clingy boyfriend? Well, crap. She could've picked someone better. But still, Edward was my boyfriend.

Rose held me while I cried that night, and in the morning, Edward came in and woke us (Rose, Emmett and I) up, and told us to get into the kitchen. One of the first things I was surprised to see was that Bella was still there. Skanky ho needs to leave.

She was cooking breakfast, and Rose and I shared a glance. We wouldn't be eating it. She put the food on the table, and sat down in between Jasper and Edward. I couldn't tell who she was 'really' sitting by, because she was doing nothing besides eating. Edward sighed, and started to talk.

"Alice, you know I love you, right?"

This never ended well.

I just looked at him, and didn't say a thing.

"Guys… I'm gay. Really, I love you Alice, but I'm not in love with you. You really are a sweet girl though."

"That's fine," I said, "Because I have something to admit to as well. I was cheating on you, but now, I guess I'm not. His name is James, and we met in Seattle."

Rosalie wiped away a tear, and started, "I have a secret to tell as well."

Well all looked at her expectantly.

"I'm pregnant."

Emmett screamed, and collapsed into a pile on the ground. Edward went over and checked his pulse, as a joke. His eyes got big.

"Someone, call the ambulance. His heart's stopped."

We all laughed.

"No," he said, running for a phone, "I'm serious."
