I couldn't believe what Jasper and I had just done. We had just kissed and I didn't feel bad for cheating on Emmett either...

Jasper sensed my confusion because he asked what I was confused about.

"I feel confused because I don't feel bad for cheating on Emmett even though I should..."

Jasper's face was unreadable.

"Oh, okay then." He replied hollowly.

"Sorry Jasper, I didn't mean to ruin the moment," I replied with a sweet smile.

"It's okay Tam, I couldn't care less because I'm too mesmerized by your beautiful face." He replied with an enormous smile.

I was surprised at his response but instead of responding I just...kissed him. He was surprised but kissed me back right away. When we finally pulled apart, I was breathless.

Jasper's POV:

That was the second time Tam and I had kissed in the last 10 minutes. Suddenly I felt sorrowful. I could tell it wasn't from Tammy and nobody else had a reason to be sorrowful...until it hit me.

Emmett, he'd obviously walked in on us kissing the first time because I heard the speed, he took off with due to my Vampire hearing.

Suddenly I started to feel angry, and I realized that Emmett was probably going to kill me or Tammy or both of us!

Fear crossed my face and Tam noticed it:

"Jasper, what is it, why do you look so scared?" She whispered concerned.

"I just sensed how Emmett is feeling, at first he felt sorrowful, but now...now he's angry. I think he's going to kill me or you or both of us!" I replied in consternation.

Tam felt afraid but then she nonchalantly replied with:

"I don't care, I love you Jasper and I WILL fight for us." I was surprised that she wasn't scared, to clarify if she actually felt scared or not, I used my ability and her emotions came back as stout-hearted.

She wasn't afraid of Emmett, even though he was inhumanly strong, stronger than any Vampire that the Cullens/Hales have ever seen. He could rip a full-on tree out of the ground with no struggle!

I tried to calm down but I couldn't. Tam could see I was frightened because the next thing she did calmed me down...she kissed me and she also gave me a massage which calmed me down relatively quickly.

Emmett's POV:

After 10 years of being with me, Tammy decided to cheat on me. I was angry. Why would she do this to me? I thought. And with my brother?! I wanted to so badly KILL Jasper but I knew Carlisle would kick me out and make sure I was far away.

And then an idea struck inside my head. I'm going to cheat on her with Tula, she and I aren't actually related, all of the kids in the house were adopted.

Vampiresses can't have children because their bodies can't change to hold a fetus so they adopt instead, that's why my adopted siblings and I are adopted.

So, I could cheat with Tula and it wouldn't be counted as breaking the law, so that's exactly what I did.

I walked up to Tula's room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" She shouted calmly.

"It's Emmett," I replied.

"Come in!" She shouted again. She unlocked the door and let me in.

"Hey, Tula!" I started cheerfully.

"Uh, yeah, hey." She replied slightly confused.

I suddenly realized what I was doing, and I was appalled with what I would've done if I hadn't realized what I was going to do.

I immediately left at vampire speed. I was embarrassed with myself too. I had almost KISSED my sister! Well biologically she wasn't my sister but she was more of a sister figure to me than...a roommate I guess you could call her.

Chapter 23, The Beginning (Jasper and Tam's POV:)

It had been a week since Jasper and I had kissed. Emmett always avoided us...I guess he saw us. I was feeling disconcerted because of the realization of what I did to Emmett hit me like a brick. Jasper was there for me every step of the way, and I'm grateful for that. I've realized now how much Jasper truly cares because if he didn't, then he wouldn't check on me a few times a day, and he wouldn't help me calm down. He, as I said has helped me every step of the way. Every step through my depression, he's helped me. I've realized how much he loves me... how much I love him.

"Jasper." I murmured when he entered my room.

"Yes Tam?" he replied questioningly.

"I love you." He looked bewildered, as if he never expected me to say those words, those sweet, irresistible words.

"I-I love you t-too." He stuttered.

I threw my arms around him and we embraced for what could've been for eternity. Those words were just what I wanted to hear from him. I knew that he was the right one for me. He was...phenomenal and most of all...amazingly attractive. That's when I started to REALLY fall for him. His amazing features, his honey-blonde hair, his breathtaking light butterscotch eyes, and his calming voice. I knew I had fallen for him, each time he came into my room at the Cullens house my heart would stop at the flattering sight of him. The best thing about him is his amazing ability to manipulate my mood from angry, tense, or worried to calm and collective. And he knows when to use it. He doesn't use it all the time because he knows it'd aggravate me. Jasper is the one person I know I can rely on...

Jasper's POV:

I was surprised when Tammy said she loved me... I guess I didn't expect it. I love Tammy more than she knows, more than anyone knows. She. Is. My. Life. I've realized she was always my life; I didn't know how much it hurt to be without her until I sensed her depression all the way from Alaska. She has always been the one for me.

"Tam, can I ask you something?" I asked questioningly.

"Sure, anything." She replied cheerfully. "Fire away!"

"When did you realize that you were in love with me?"

"Around when you helped me when you sent me waves of calm when I was worrying about Tula."

I was surprised by her answer, I thought it was when we kissed that night.

"What about you?"

"Around when I sensed your depression all the way in Alaska. Like I said when you and Emmett were still...in love. I kept having nightmares about losing you and I thought about you more." She looked...awestricken.

Suddenly, her emotion changed to worried.

"Tam, what're you worried about?" I asked calmly.

"It's Emmett again... I feel like... like I've failed him."

"Tam, don't blame yourself. You can't help who you fall in or out of love with." I sent a few waves of calm over to her which made her slightly better.

"Jasper, can you sing to me?" She asked, still worried.

"Of course, I can Tam."

"You're the one, the only one I love." I started. "You're the light in my darkness. The one, the one who I love." I finished off. I could sense that she felt calmer.

"That was amazing!" She finally said.

"Jazz?" I asked, confused.

"Yeah, it's your new nickname. Your full name is too long." She laughed.

"Oh, okay then Tam, how about I nickname you...flower?"

Tam's POV:

I was surprised at the nickname he gave me...it reminded me so much of Tula...suddenly, I started feeling upset. He sensed it, clearly.

"Tam, what are you so sad about?" He asked me questioningly.

"That nickname...f-flower. It reminds me too much of T-Tula."

"Oh, Tam! I'm sorry." He gave me a kiss on my forehead and locked me in an embrace. I suddenly felt better...safer. When I'm in Jazz's arms, I feel indestructible, safe, and sound. Like we're the only two people on the planet. He gives me a sense of security that I lost ever since my biological father died in the hands of The Volturi. I know he's my true love. Suddenly, I got lost in my thoughts and zoned out.

"Tam? Tam?" I heard Jazz say. I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, sorry I got lost in my thoughts."

"That's okay. What were you thinking about?"

I hesitated for a moment before responding. "Just that I know you're my true love."

If he were a human, he'd be blushing, I can see it on his face.
