This is a short one, but hope you like anyway.
Jasper POV
I was late for Jake's birthday party, but I wasn't ready to be social just yet. I wasn't ready to be around all those happy people, knowing I couldn't join in with any heart. I didn't want to see all the sad looks from those who understood how I felt and the reasons behind it.
Johona was leaving. I knew she felt something for me, it was plain as day, but she was still leaving. She hadn't told me a reason why, just that she couldn't stay.
For a moment, I had thought I had finally found my soulmate. That one person who would make me feel whole again. Maybe I was just kidding myself. How could it work? We had been enemies for too long to just start loving each other. We had too much history. But, if that was the case, why did it feel like my heart was being ripped out.
I sat for hours, watching the stars as they twinkled in the sky. It was well past midnight when someone finally came out looking for me. I assumed it would be Alice or Bella. They usually were the ones to try to cheer me up when I was having negative emotion overload. To my surprise, it was Edward who entered the little clearing I was seated in.
"Jasper, you need to come with me. Something's happened." His emotions were a mixture of anger, sadness and guilt."
"What's wrong?" I asked, standing and approaching my brother.
Edward said only one word, sending a bolt of anger through me.
"Maria"
