Another different POV and only a short chapter for this one.

I only own the plot :)


Jaspers POV

I had my arms full of sheets and I was trying to dodge the three little boys that were hiding from their mother when my phone rang.

I wasn't technically allowed to have it on while I was at work but I'd explained to my boss about Bella and how she was basically my sister and they had been lenient enough that I was allowed to have it on but it needed to remain on silent.

I fished it out of my pocket and answered it without even looking at the screen "Hey what's the matter? Is she in labour?" A masculine huff sounding down the line got my attention straight away.

Only Carlisle could exude that much with the smallest sound. I felt panic curl through me "What's the matter Carlisle? Is it Bella? Where's Edward?"

Carlisle voice rang softly down the line "Hell if I know where Edward is. He and Bella had an argument and he took off. She's here staring out of the window waiting for him and he's switched his phone off. I know you finish work soon and I was hoping, since you know him so well, that you might go looking for him."

I swore under my breath "Fucking asshole" thinking I'd said it quietly enough but Carlisle obviously heard it "I agree completely" and I knew I hadn't been quiet enough

"Shit, sorry Carlisle. Yeah, look I finish work in an hour but I haven't taken my break so I'll finish putting this stock out and I'll go looking for him. I'll let you know when I find him. Does he have the car or his bike?"

Carlisle voice was dark with worry as he answered "Bike" causing a frisson of fear to shiver down my spine but I pushed it down.

I hung up from Carlisle, finished doing what I needed to do and was out of the store just under ten minutes later.

I cursed Edward and his fucking stupidity as I drove towards Fine Edge Tattoos hoping that this was one of those times where Edward was predictable.

I opened the door and was greeted by the red head that met us last time; I asked after Edward and her friendly smile dimmed a little.

She indicated to the seats and asked me to wait while she got Embry. Not thirty seconds later Embry Call came out of the back rooms and the second he saw me he started talking "Damn I was kind of hoping it'd be the tall dark one."

I frowned wondering what Jacob had that I didn't but held my tongue "He's not here before you ask. He was but I couldn't fit him in. He looked like shit man and I'm pretty sure that he'd been drinking. He got a little rowdy when we couldn't fit him in. Did something happen with him and the girl I tattooed on him?"

I did a double take of Embry and said "What? That last tat Edward has, it's of Bella?" shaking my head I said "Don't worry that's not important. Um, did he tell you where he was going?"

Embry raised an eyebrow and said "Yep, said he was gonna go watch the waves because 'the waves won't hate him'" Embry used quotey fingers to show the last were Edwards' words.

I nodded and thanked Embry and took off running from the shop.

I dove into my car, throwing it into gear and speeding down towards the beach, praying that he chose the main beach to do his moping at.

I had no real idea of what I was going to find and I knew that he wasn't supposed to get shit faced when on his medication but I'm guessing that he wasn't in a responsible frame of mind.

I screeched into the beach parking, spotting Edward's bike parked haphazardly across two spaces, I slammed the car into park and jumped out of it, racing around looking for Edward.

I skidded to a halt the second my shoes hit the sand; he was sitting there facing the ocean but he wasn't alone.
