Ava P.O.V

That night I lay in bed with Rosalie who kept stroking my long thick hair absent-mindedly staring off into space. Emmett sat in a chair placed in front of a window; he just sat there also looking off into space. I could not stop thinking of Jasper; his smile, his touch, his kisses, his soothing massages, just everything. I missed his warm loving embrace, as we would just gaze into each other's eyes all night long. I closed my eyes trying to get close to sleep as much as I could.

It felt like ages before Emmett shook my shoulder to get me up for school. I dragged my feet to my trunk, grabbed up some random clothes, and headed for the shower. The warm water seemed to burn my skin but I did not care. I still felt so dead inside that my senses were also dead. I could smell nothing, feel nothing or hear anything. I got out and dried myself off quickly and then blow-dried my hair not even bothering to brush it out, it looked fine in a messy curly style. I put on a red t-shit that had a big black skull on it and then I pulled on some normal faded jeans. I walked out and pulled on my gray sweater I wore the day before, Jasper's scent still on it. I breathed it in and closed my eyes, picturing Jasper standing before me with his arms wide open, a smile on his face. A knock on the bedroom door pulled me out of my daydream. It was Edward.

"I am to take you to school this morning," he said walking in. He pulled me into a brotherly affectionate hug. "I am sorry Ava, I wish there was something I could do." I nodded my head slightly; his words barely reached my ears. I wished it were Jasper who was hugging me now; I wish it were Jasper who was talking to me instead. "I know Ava; I wish that for you too but…"

"I know," I choke out pulling away from him. My throat was constricting me from speaking. I felt like if I spoke I would break down crying dry tears. He patted me on the back and led my soulless body down the stairs; Alice was on her way up and gave me a sympathetic look before giving me a hug. My arms loosely hugged her back and I was back on my way down the stairs, Edwards hand on my back. I kept my eyes on the floor not wanting to see anyone. Edward let go of me and walked into the kitchen, I stood in the doorway. I let my eyes look up and my body froze. There he was sitting right next to Emmett dead and silent like me. Our eyes met for a nanosecond before we looked away. Emmett let out a low warning growl to Jasper before he got up and walked out, he paused giving me kiss on my forehead before leaving. I stood there still waiting for Edward to finish talking to Esme about something; it did not reach my ears even though they were talking in their normal voices. It just would not reach my ears. Maybe I am going deaf, that could be a possibility but is there such a thing as a deaf vampire. Edward snapped me out of my train of thoughts as he handed me my book bag and we were out the door and into his new black Volvo, there is something about him and Volvos. Jasper left his other silver Volvo out in the middle of the road that night he came looking for me, that night we admitted that we loved each other. It hurt me to think of him but I could not stop. I saw him speed by us in his black viper. I looked away and kept my mind busy with other things but every little thing always went back to him.

------------

We finally made it to school. The only parking space left was right next to Jasper's viper. My passenger door faced his driver's door. I looked and saw him sitting there, staring blankly out at the teen filled parking lot. Edward got out and I scrambled over to the driver's seat and got out that way. He looked at me and shook his head. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder as we walked to the school. We parted as I headed for my first period class, Chemistry. I entered and remembered Jasper was my partner but luckily we had a sub so it was a free period of doing whatever we wanted and so I sat in the back with a few of my friends. I know I was not supposed to make friends but it was a habit of mine to be friends with just about everyone. Ashley, Johanna and I sat in the back table in the room talking. Jasper sat in the middle table all by himself; he was staring at the empty chalkboard dead.

"Oh so you are finally talking to us again?" Ashley nudged me in the side. I looked at her and frowned but quickly smiled.

"Like when do we not talk Ash?" I say poking her in the cheek, she puffed them out and blew in my face before giggling. I smiled at the sound of her laughter.

"Well, ever since you and Jasper got together," Johanna said slowly, her lust filled eyes looked at Jasper. "All you did was spend time with him." A small smirk flew across her face. "You two are still together right?" Johanna always had a thing for Jasper; the little slut thought that once she was friends with me he would leave me and go with her because she is just that irresistible. Oh, get a life Johanna! Your squinty little eyes and big fat nose is what scares boys away plus when you do get a boy you are always so touchy touchy and clingy that they run away scared. I wanted to shake her and get this message thought that goddamn thick skull of hers but I held it back and smiled.

"Yes we are still together Johanna," I say a bit smugly. "We will always be together no matter what." Ashley gave me a hug.

"That is great! For awhile everyone thought you two were going to break up but you two look so cute together that I told everyone that they just couldn't but then they brought up the whole "they are siblings" thing and I was all…" Ashley blabbered on and on, I giggled at my friend; she was such a sweet kind person. I knew any man who got her would be the luckiest man alive. If I was allowed to change any one of my friends into a vampire, it would definitely be Ashley but then I would hate myself for it because she would have such a great life as a human. I felt two eyes look at me, at first I thought it was Johanna giving me an evil glare but I look up and see Jasper. A small smile played on his lips. Wordlessly he mouthed 'I love you' to me. I smiled and mouthed back, 'I love you too.' I blew a kiss to him; he caught it and dramatically held it to his chest where his dead heart is. Ashley awed, I giggled and Johanna glared at me. Class ended and there was Edward, at the front door waiting for me. I waved goodbye to Ashley and Johanna as I made my way to the front of the class. Jasper ran past us to our next class. I bit my lip and looked at the ugly yellow tiled floor of the school. Edward and I walked arm in arm to our next class, history. We sat in our normal spot in the back corner but Edward and Jasper traded seats. When I sat down, I saw a note on my desk. My trembling fingers opened it; the elegant handwriting assured me of its writer.

Dear my beloved Ava,

I heard what you said in Chemistry, at first I was shocked but then realized how right you are. We can survive this; no one can in between the great love we share. Not even the great big bear we call Emmett. I hold no grudge against Emmett; he has every right to be angry with me. I should have asked him for your hand in marriage before I did anything; after all, he is a father to you. Just remember this, my beautiful sweet darling, we are meant to be together whether we get married or not we will be together. After all, we have an eternity to be together.

Love,

Jasper Whitlock

If I could cry, I would be crying tears of joy. I smiled down at the letter and knew the truth in every word. My teacher walked over to see what I was doing. I showed her my open history book and page filled with notes. I always carried around my old notes because I was too lazy to rewrite them every time we changed schools.

It was already time for lunch, after history class everything just seemed to fly by me. It was like that for the rest of the day. It was time to get home, when Edward and I reached is shiny new black Volvo, Jasper's viper was already gone. In the car, Edward opened his mouth and started blabbering on but I paid no attention or even tried to. All I thought about was Jasper's note. He knew I was not paying any attention to him so he switched to his mind.

Do you want to write a note and I can give it to Jasper?

What?

You know write something that is meant for only his eyes and I will make sure to give it to him. I promise I will not read it and Emmett will never find out.

Are you sure Edward? Emmett will kill us all when he finds out.

Alice and I will make sure he does not find out. I promise.

Okay! I think this too loudly for Edward looked shocked for a second. I giggled "Sorry Edward." He shook his head saying he was fine just a bit surprised. I looked out the window feeling happy as ever again. Even though we were apart, Jasper still loved me, I loved him, and today we were confident about it. Now Edward and Alice are going to help so that we can still talk to each other in a way.

--------------------------------

…^-^" Okay so Emmett wrote me a letter telling me how evil I am making him sound T-T I'm sorry Emmett but don't worry you will be a lovable big bear again soon.

Emmett: -pouts- But why am I tearing them apart in the first place?

Because you are like a father figure to Ava and you act like a father and Ava treat you like a father, too so you become protective of her like a father would.

Emmett: …but I let her sleep with human boys

Not willingly though, Rosalie would have to hold you back from tearing off their heads. Moreover, Ava would hear you fight and would stop almost immediately.

Emmett: So when is Jasper going to propose to Ava

-Shrugs- Whenever you let them get back together

Emmett: So it is up to me.

Sort of, I am still the author of this fanfic, so when I decide to let Emmett decide to let them get back together they will.

Emmett: .-. Whoa confusing

^-^" Heh heh okay well is that all Emmett?

Emmett: I am too scared to ask any more questions, you might confuse me even more

=3= Well I am sorry that my brain is not the size of a peanut.

Emmett: Grrr! -waves big hands in the air, tries to act scary-

-laughs and attacks him with a hug- Big Cuddly BEAR! ^-^

Emmett: O.O…. I'm not actually a bear!

^-^ Yes, you are!
