"Hey Rosie." Jasper murmurs softly as he leans against Rosalie's bedroom door frame. He keeps his eyes down. Rosalie gives him a harsh glare. "Can I come in? I wanna talk to you."
"Sure, I guess." She responds dryly.
Jasper drags his feet, still in his wrinkly pajama bottoms, and plops down on the edge of Rosalie's bed. He glances over at her, still getting the same angry glare back.
"Rose, please talk to me."
"What do you want me to say?" Rosalie asks with an angry huff. Jasper shrugs.
"I'd like to hear you say that you forgive me." He admits, his drawl growing thicker as he rubs his sweaty palms on his pajama pants. "I fucked up, Rosie. I fucked up real bad. And I'm so, so sorry."
Jasper sighs and pushes himself closer to his sister, hoping she would put her arm around him and let him rest his head on her shoulder like she's always done when he's upset. She doesn't, though.
"I never meant to hurt anyone. I really didn't."
"You ran away to be with her, Jasper. Did you really think that wouldn't hurt me?" Rosalie asks, her eyes full of pain.
"That was stupid of me, but I swear it wouldn't have been forever. I told Maria that we would move to whatever town you went to college in. I wasn't going to just leave you, sis. I could never do that." Jasper explains.
"I just don't get it. What would make you want to shack up with Maria in the first place?"
Jasper's face falls even more. He looks down at the blankets bellow him.
"She loved me. Or at least I thought she did. She said we were nothing but a meal ticket." Jasper sighs as his eyes water up and his voice starts to crack. "She said we were nothing but a check and she never loved me."
"Jasper," Rosalie sighs and feels her heart drop for her brother. After all, he is having his first broken heart over a girl. And it's not just any girl, or woman, either. This could possibly be the biggest heartbreak he'll ever have to face. And even though she wants to be angry, Rosalie knows she can't let him go through it alone. She grabs him by the sleeve of his shirt and pulls him closer, hugging him to her side. He rests his forehead on her shoulder and his tears fall onto her tee-shirt. "Of course I forgive you."
"Thank you." Jasper whimpers. Rosalie holds him tighter.
"You'll get over her. I promise."
"I sure hope so."
The duo set together without speaking, and listen to the ruckus going on outside of the bedroom. Carlisle and Emmett scream at each other about Emmett going back to school. Edward debates with Esme about avoiding anger management classes again. After a few moments of listening, Jasper sighs again.
"Everything's so screwed up, Rosalie."
Hey guys! So sorry it's been so long since I updated this story. I know this chapter isn't the best, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Anyways, any reviews, predictions, or comments are greatly appreciated!
