Expect the Unexpected

Chapter 25: Walking Out

Previously: "Well then do something to change that!" Alice yelled, interrupting him.

"I plan on it." I watched from my hiding place as Jasper got down on one knee. "Mary Alice Cullen, will you marry me?"

APOV

I sat there in shock not knowing what to say. Should I put aside my anger and say yes? Should I scream and yell and say no? This is what I wanted wasn't it? After the shock wore off it took me a minute to answer. I'm going to guess Jasper took it as a bad sign when I didn't squeal and say yes right away like Rose and Bella did because his face visibly fell.

"You want me to marry you?" I said to Jasper.

"This wasn't the way I planned to do this but Alice I can NOT lose you." Jasper said. I looked away. There was no way I was going to look him in the eyes with what I was about to say, it would crush me more than I already was.

"Jasper I-I can't…I just can't." I said, he looked broken but I continued on. "This is not what you want. You don't want to marry me you just don't want to lose me. You're not going to lose me. We'll still see each other. We can still be in each other's lives if that's what you want. I don't want you to propose just because of what I said last night."

"So you're saying you don't want to marry me?" He asked. More tears sprang in my eyes and I saw that he had a few in his too.

"I…" I started. "I guess I am." I didn't know four little words would be so hard to say. I watched as he stood.

"Well then ma'am," He said with his southern drawl, "I'm sorry that you have wasted all these years of your life with me. I suppose I should go so you can be happy. That's all I want for you and if it's not me that you want in return I won't force anything on you." He said and I watched him as he walked out of the door and out of my life.

A/N: It's short I know but I just can't bring myself to write more. I guess I should have put this on the end of the last chapter but I didn't think about it. Please don't hate me! Things will change, I promise but in the mean time this is how it's going to be. Please review and please attempt to make it more than three words long. I'd really appreciate it! You guys are what keep me writing this, I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't get any feedback so please please review.
