Edward's POV
We were racing through the streets of Forks in Charlie's cruiser. Racing toward the unknown. There were only a few possible outcomes in this senario. Either Jasper was alive or he was dead. The last one would destroy Edward. The love of his life laying lifeless before his eyes sent him into a round of barely contained sobs. Carlisle was sitting behind him and he felt his arms wrap around him as best as they could with the seat between them. They rode in silence. Neither wanting to give false hope or state their fears. It was the longest car ride of Edward's life. He was never a religious person , but at that moment he was praying with all he was had.
They reached the drive to the abandon house. The house itself was a mess. The paint was half gone and the roof was missing shingles. The shutters on the windows were half gone. It was obvious that no one had taken care of it in years. There was a car parked in the front yard. That was at least an encouraging sight. They pulled to a stop by the decaying porch. Charlie turned the car off , but made no move to get out. He turned to speak to Edward and Carlisle.
"There's a good chance that no one is here or that he has...killed...Jasper and left. Either way with backup so far behind it would be best if you came in with me. That way he can't come out while I'm inside and hurt you." Charlie said in full on Chief mode.
"Alright , Charlie. We'll stick next to you and keep an eye out." Carlisle said.
Edward couldn't bring himself to say a word. The only thing that was running through his mind was that beyond that door he would find the answer to Jasper's fate. It was his defining moment. This would decide his own fate. He was either destined for great love for a lifetime or a life of loneliness. He would never commit suicide. That was the coward's way out. Besides he could never do that to his family. He took calming breaths as they got out and headed to the door.
Charlie slowly opened the door , cautious of any movement or danger. He walked in to the first room. It was the living room. It was scattered with broken and unused furniture. There was no sign that life had exsisted in this room in a long time. They moved to the room of to the side. It was a bare room that only held a chair wrapped in rope , laying on it's side. Other than that the room was like the other. They continued there search of every room they came to. The last room left was the kitchen. They all looked at each other knowing that this room would hold the truth. That no matter what , once they entered it their lives would change.
Charlie's POV
He was at the hospital morgue with Edward. He had revealed that this was not Jacob lying on the slab. It pissed him off that yet another teen had fallen to this sadistic son of a bitch. The kid needed to be found. This could not continue. It would only be a matter of time before the body on the slab belonged to Jasper or even Edward. He knew the latter was a possibility. If the kid got fed up of trying to get him to see things his way then he would settle for the alternative. The old 'If I can't have him , no one will ' perspective. Edward was running the situation of Jacob not being who he thought he was through his mind when the phone rang. Charlie looked down at it and it read ' Home '. Deciding to answer he walked off a little.
"Hello?" he answered quietly.
"Uncle Charlie! Jasper's gone!" Rose screamed into the phone.
"What?!?!" Charlie bellowed back.
"I got home from the grocery store and there was blood in the kitchen and the back door was open. I called the station , but they said you weren't there. They sent over the other guys. There searching right now." Rose explained frantically.
"Ok. Stay there. I'm gonna find him." he told her before hanging up.
He told Edward and Carlisle what had happened. Poor Edward went white as a sheet. Then he had a stroke of brilliance. Jacob had told him of his father's house. There was only one abandoned house in town and it was our only hope at the moment. He called for backup , but they would get there after them. They raced through the streets. It was a silent ride. No one was willing to voice anything. They reached the house and entered. Charlie was on guard at every room. Bracing to meet the bastard and preparing to find the body of his nephew. They had searched every room except the kitchen. They stood there gathering the strength to walk in. Charlie raised his gun and held it steady as he took that first step.
Carlisle's POV
This was a frigged up situation. This boy had terrorized his son and his new boyfriend from the start. He had tried to kill them the night of the dance and he had shown that he was capable of killing twice now. The room in front of them held answers to Jasper's fate. It would devastate his son if the boy had killed Jasper. He could see the impact Jasper had had on Edward. The whole family and his friends had come to love him. They had shown that the night of the accident. They held a constant vigil in the waiting room. This had the same air of anxiety that that night had held.
Charlie had braced himself just like Edward and Carlisle were doing. It was time to learn the truth. Carlisle knew he needed to prepare to be there for his son in case of the worst. He watched Charlie hold the gun up and prepare to enter the room. He took a deep breath and followed him in with Edward at his side.
Edward's POV
The scene that met there eyes was one that Edward knew he would never forget. There was blood across the floor , pooling in large puddles. Jacob was slumped over near the doorway. His head hung at an uncomfortable angle. Edward realized at once that he was dead. He could see the hole in his chest right where his heart was. He watched Carlisle crawl to him and check for a pulse. The silent shake of his head told them that he was dead. He quickly looked around the room in search of Jasper.
He found him leaning against the counters. His head was resting against the doors and his eyes were closed. He looked almost peaceful. His legs were stretched out in front of him and his arms limp at his sides. There was blood pooling on the floor , running from his arms onto the slick tile floor. Edward's breath hitched in his throat and he threw a frantic glance at Carlisle as he made his way to Jasper.
He was having trouble keeping his breathing even as he watched Carlisle grab Jasper's wrist. Charlie stood next to him in silence , awaiting the answer. It seemed like eternity before Carlisle yelled to them.
"We need to get him to the hospital now. He's still alive , but only just. The bullet clipped the artery." he yelled as he picked Jasper up and ran to the car. Charlie and Edward jumped in and the sped to the hospital. Carlisle called ahead to get the supplies and staff prepped. Edward was sure he would pass out before the whole ordeal was done. Charlie brought the car to a screeching halt and Carlisle ran through the doors. Jasper was once again carried away from him without him knowing the outcome.
Just like the last time they all ended up in the waiting room. Rose was beating herself up over the whole thing. She seemed to think that she could have prevented it if she were home. It wasn't until Emmett pointed out that if she had been there he just would have killed her to get to Jasper that she let it go. Thankfully it didn't take as long this time. Carlisle proudly announced that he was going to be fine. Edward exhaled all the tension and fear that he had inside him. It was like the weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Jacob was dead and Jasper would be fine. Charlie eventually got the news that Jacob was actually James Taylor. This had sent shock waves through them. James had been Emmett's best friend years ago. It shows you how much you can never truly know a person. Edward and Alice left after Jasper fell asleep.
They drove to Port Angeles and stopped at the jewelry store. Alice never asked about why they were there. It was like she knew what he was doing. They found a plain , silver band with the words ' forever ' etched inside. Edward bought two. They left and drove back to the hospital. Edward's first conversation was Charlie. He asked him to step outside for a minute.
"Charlie , I want to ask you something and I want you to know that I'm serious. It may not be legal , but it doesn't matter to me." Edward told him. Charlie looked at him for a minute.
"I don't really know what you gettin at son , but I can't condone illegal." Charlie said confused.
"I want to ask Jasper to marry me." Edward said. Charlie stared at him in shock.
"Hell , I thought you were informing me about a future crime. I'm not sure about this. What about school.?" Charlie asked thinking the idea over.
"We would get married and finish school before we moved out." Edward told him.
"Then I guess you have my blessing. If he wants to take your name I'll fill out the forms." Charlie told him as he shook his hand.
"Thank you , sir." Edward said as he walked back in to the room. Carlisle greeted him with a smile and a hug. Alice had obviously filled him in on his plan. They watched as Jasper began to wake up. Alice suggested that they go get something to eat while Edward had a minute with Jasper. They all told Jasper they'd be back later and left them alone.
"So , is he dead?" Jasper asked.
"Yes , he is. And he wasn't even who we thought he was." Edward told him.
"I know. He told me before he tried to kill me." Jasper told him as he carefully sat up in the bed.
"Jasper , you know I love you , right?" Edward started.
"Of course. What's wrong?" Jasper asked , looking a little afraid of what he had to say.
"I want to marry you. Even if it won't be legal. I want to spend forever with you. So will you marry me?" Edward asked as he pulled the band out of his pocket.
Jasper gasped at the ring. His eyes filled with tears as he slowly reached out to touch the small ring. He looked up at Edward with a look in his eyes and a smile.
"Yes!" Jasper said as he leaned in to kiss Edward. Edward placed the ring on his finger and kissed it.
"What about Charlie? And you need a ring?" Jasper said suddenly.
"I asked Charlie and he agreed and I do have a ring." he said as he pulled his out. He pointed out the inside. Jasper took his off and looked for the words. He smiled when he found them.
They were married that summer. The kids in school thought they were crazy , but they didn't care. Everyone important supported them. They had each other and that was all that mattered. They had survived James. They would survive anything that came at them. Edward lived at his house and Jasper stayed with Charlie. They spent all their time with each other and their friends. Jasper Hale became Jasper Cullen. They even created a domino effect. Alice and Jacob were getting married after they graduated and Emmett planned to propose at prom. Their world was perfect. Jasper had come to this town and met Edward. He had lost sight of who he was after the deaths of his parents and his realization that he was gay. Now that he had everything he could ever dream of he knew one thing. He knew who he was.
