DISCLAIMER - ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO STEPHANIE MEYERS.
STORYLINE BELONGS TO ME.
Couple days after the birthday party…
"You……don't…….want……me?" I stutter trying to make sense of the words that are coming out of his mouth.
"No, Bella I don't and I don't love you either. You are not good enough for me."
"Please Edward, please don't do this. Don't you know that I love you?"
"You'll get over me and I'll have my distractions to keep me busy."
"Please don't leave me. Please Edward I love you" I beg as he kisses me gently on the forehead before zipping into the woods leaving me stumbling after him in a pain filled haze.
1 month later….
"Bella! Bella, wake up now! Were you out with those girls again last night?" Charlie yells.
"Ugh, Charlie chill out" I grumble pulling the pillow over my head.
"Stop calling me Charlie, what kind of example can I present to everyone else if my own daughter won't listen to me and obey the law?" Charlie roars in anger and frustration.
"A bad example" I reply my voice void of emotion as I roll over look out the window as I hear Charlie shuffle his feet some more.
"Look Bella, I'm sorry he hurt you, but you have to get over him and live your life. He's not coming back for you and he's not worth you destroying what's left of your life. I know it hurts, sweetheart, but it won't always, and the pain will go away."
"It hasn't yet," I reply softly as sobs start shaking my body and I curl up into a ball.
Charlie quietly shuts the door knowing that he's said enough and there's nothing more he can do about my pain that's eating me alive.
Another 2 months goes by…
Bella gets in trouble for getting into fights with Lauren and Jessica, beating them up for talking about her behind her back.
Bella then breaks Mike and Tyler's nose for pestering her to go out with them after she has continuously told them she was not interested.
After that she gets expelled from school for 2 weeks which she spends on drinking binges.
Life changes…
Charlie and Jacob are watching a game on TV waiting for Bella to come back from the store to pick up the missing ingredients for dinner.
Hearing a knock at the door Charlie goes to open it and screams in pain as Victoria bites him and sucks him dry while Jacob stands frozen in terror clutching the phone. Just as he hears his Dad say hello Victoria attacks draining him and all Billy hears is Jacob gasp, "Dad they're real" as he screams into the phone, "Jacob!! NO!! Jacob!!!"
Bella comes back to find the Billy and a couple of the boys from the reservation standing in front of the house with a couple of police cruisers. Stumbling out of the truck she runs for the house tripping over air several times until she reaches the front steps where Sam Ulley catches her and holds her against him as she screams, "DAD!!! JACOB!!!" over and over again as sobs wrack her body.
Bella collapses to the ground still wailing in pain as the EMT sedates her.
The funerals are held two days later and none of the Cullens showed up, but the police give Charlie a great send off as does the pack for Jacob. Billy asks Bella to move in with him but she declines insisting that she stay in the house as her own punishment for hurting the only one who has been there for her.
Renee and Phil come down for Charlie's funeral and attempt to get Bella to come back to Florida with them. Bella goes into a screaming fit, shocking both Renee and Phil into silence as they leave and return to Florida as Billy promises to keep an eye out on her as they pack keeps an eye out on Billy.
It was right after Renee and Phil that Bella was walking around the house collecting supplies to clean the house that she found the note Victoria left.
Dearest Bella,
When I showed up at your house I had every intention of killing you, but then your father answered the door and I thought what better way to cause you as much pain as I am in than to kill the one you love the most. Now you truly know what it's like to suffer as I have suffered.
Farewell until next time,
Victoria
What tore me up the most was that she wrote the entire note in their fingerprints and their blood. I broke down into a catatonic state screaming my head off; no one came near the house hearing the screams ripping through the air. By the end of the next day my catatonic state remained and I sat in between the two outlines of the last people I loved, who believed that I would conquer my pain. I whimpered every now and then when the only thought that crossed my mind was how much I had failed them.
Just as I reached for the knife that was lying on the floor next to me I was engulfed in a pair of solid cold arms that offered the comfort that I really didn't know I needed at the time.
My mind blanked, the room and darkness swallowed me as I inhaled the mixture of their scents that created a welcoming comfort in the oblivion that I sought.
Jasper POV
"How could you do this to me, Alice? What happened to love, honor and cherish? Were our vows nothing but a farce EVERY FUCKING TIME you said them?"
"Jazz" Alice begins to plead.
"DO NOT FUCKING CALL ME THAT!!! YOU LOST THAT RIGHT!! YOU LOST IT when you started FUCKING HIM!!! Did EITHER of you even care what this would do to Bella?"
Then it dawns on me as I see the evidence on their faces, "You were never going to tell her were you? You used the birthday party as an excuse to hide the truth you couldn't tell her about."
Jasper turns to Carlisle and Esme asking, "How long have you known about their affair?"
But upon feeling their shame closes his eyes and turns away in disgust shutting out their feelings of regret as he runs up to his room and slams the door.
The only thing coming from his room is a roaring unlike any other as he tears apart the room in his fury, "I can't believe you people, and how could you treat Bella this way?"
Finally silence as he slumps into a corner staring out the window thinking about Bella and what she's doing now….
2 months later….
"Sign the papers or not Alice, there's nothing left to say" I say my voice lacking any emotions since I have long suppressed them some time ago. "My name has already been changed back to Whitlock and my finances, those you know about, have been separated from you and this fucked up family."
Emmett's POV
"BELLA BELLA BELLA!! That's all I hear from you. What happened to our life before she came along? Emmett you're not listening to me!" Rosalie shrieks as she snatches my game from my hands throwing it against the wall to smash into pieces.
I stand up snarling at Rose as the family rushes in to see what is happening. Jasper sends me a much needed dose of calmness as I close my eyes and turn away from her in disgust.
"You know why it's all about Bella Rosalie" I sneer, "because she accepts me for who I am and does not force me to love someone who is more concerned about her beauty than someone else's feelings. Our whole relationship has been about YOU and what YOU want; you never ask me what I want to do, where I want to go, what interests me. NOTHING!!! NOTHING about me, everything is all about you, ALWAYS. Bella talked to me it was about my interests, she listened to me."
"I've had it with this farce of a marriage, Bella is my friend and we left her there because Edward and Alice are whores who can't keep their private parts private and separate."
"As for you two, our supposed 'parental units' neither one of you stuck up for Bella, who gave up everything for this family. She put herself in danger time and time again and the second Mr. Douche decided he couldn't hack it enough to tell her the truth, we up and left her."
"Neither of you discussed it with the rest of us, neither of you asked for the opinions of anyone else. We didn't have a family meeting to get everyone's thoughts on the subject; you just caved to the two whores in the family. What kind of family are we that we didn't discuss how everyone felt about leaving Forks? What kind of parents are you" I sneer, "When the only two people you are listening to are the ones who are doing the most damage to this family?"
"Some family we are, well I've had enough, and I'm going back for my friend, praying that she'll forgive me and still want to be my friend. God help you all if anything has happened to her you will all be sorry. Jasper, are you coming with me?" I ask heading upstairs to pack as the others are left in silence.
"Yes, Emmett, I'm with you" Jasper says going to his room and packing the minimum of clothes before waiting for me at the garage door. As I make my way down I toss some papers on the couch.
"I'm divorcing you Rosalie and this fucked up family, my name has been changed back to McCarty. Goodbye and good riddance family" I sneer on my way out as Jasper follows me tossing his luggage in my jeep before hopping onto his Ducati.
Four days later…
Jasper POV
I felt such a pure unadulterated wave of agony that I cry out and almost crash my beauty. I braked hard skidding in the middle of the empty road breathing deeply as I crumble off the bike to my hands and knees on the ground. I reach up to grip my chest where my heart should be trying to rip it out so the pain will go away hearing Emmett calling my name from a distance.
Just as he touches me I see stars then Bella's face streaked with tears screaming then holding a knife to her throat.
"Bella" we both gasp out at the same time, "we have to hurry."
We would later wonder about the stars and being such in synch with each other.
Emmett POV
I hear screaming in my head and it's not coming from the radio I have turned up high. I then hear Jasper cry out and I look up in time to avoid hitting him as he brakes hard and skids into the middle of the road. I hear a ringing in my ears as I get out of the car and my chest starts ripping apart, I struggle to him concerned as I watch him crumble off his bike to his hands and knees. I call out to him hearing my voice coming from a distance as I grip my chest where my heart should be trying to rip it out so the pain will go away.
Just as I touch him I see stars then Bella's face streaked with tears screaming then holding a knife to her throat.
"Bella" we both gasp out at the same time, "we have to hurry."
I would wonder later what really happened but right now we needed to get to Bella before anything else happened to her.
"Can you ride your motorcycle?" I ask Jasper hissing as I feel electricity run through me as I continue touching him.
Jasper shakes his head as I close my eyes and reach inside me to gather what strength I have left as I pick up his bike and stash it in my jeep while Jasper pulls himself into the passenger side.
The second I'm in the driver's seat I gun the engine and speed the rest of the way (back roads of course) to get to Bella's house. I skid to a halt in the driveway jumping out with Jasper as smell the faded scent of Victoria lingering around the outside of the house. The smell thickens as we get closer to the house along with the scent of wolves, we both growl in anger as we split up to enter from both sides of the house.
While Jasper goes around to the back of the house, I inch towards the front door looking in the window to see Bella sitting in the outlines of two bodies. I clutch at my heart at the same time she does as I see an image of her, Jasper and I hugging in a circle.
I whimper in pain looking up to see Bella reach for the knife that was lying on the floor next to her, then hear Jasper in my head scream NO at the same time I do as we both rush forward engulfing her in our solid cold arms. Jasper and I gaze at each other feeling the electricity shoot through us again as we hold Bella in our arms offering her comfort that we really didn't know we needed at the time.
My mind blanked, the room and darkness swallowed me as I inhaled the mixture of their scents that created a welcoming comfort in the oblivion that I sought.
Jasper POV
I spend the rest of the ride trying to calm myself and Emmett down, but after that image of Bella holding a knife to her throat I am far from calm. I close my eyes and concentrate all my strength on sending out calming vibes and just as I get that to work, I feel the Jeep skid to a stop. I open my eyes instantly smelling the faded scent of Victoria lingering around the outside of the house. The sickly sweet smell thickens is mixed in with the scent of wolves as we get closer to the house. We both growl in anger as I suggest splitting up and entering from both sides of the house, Emmett agrees as I go around to the back of the house.
As I get closer to the back of the house I could still smell the faint scent of Victoria but a stronger scent of wolf as I inch towards the kitchen door gazing at the destruction. I open the door quietly crouching automatically as my mind reverts back to the soldier that I used to be. I smell Bella's tears and feel the agony of her pain as I reach the door leading to the living room. Seeing Bella sitting in between the outlines of two bodies breaks my undead heart and I clutch at chest at the same time she does as I see an image of her, Emmett and I hugging in a circle.
I hiss in anger as I see Bella reach for the knife that is lying on the floor next to her, then hear Emmett in my head scream NO at the same time I do as we both rush forward engulfing her in our solid cold arms. I gaze at Emmett feeling the electricity shoot through us again as we hold Bella in our arms offering her comfort that we really didn't know we needed at the time.
My mind blanked, the room and darkness swallowed me as I inhaled the mixture of their scents that created a welcoming comfort in the oblivion that I sought.
As I drift unconscious I hear Emmett and I asking the same questions: What did we do by leaving her? It didn't even look like our leaving helped at all, if anything it looked like it made it worse.
DAMN THEM!!!!! We both roar in our heads as we are engulfed by red light feeling Jasper's power magnified between the three of us as we are engulfed in a furious rage unlike any that we have ever encountered. As Bella's rage mixes with that of mine and Emmett's our minds explode; all three of us see thousands of stars encase our psyche then images of black female panthers, male elks and grizzly bears converge mixing.
The images continue to flash until stopping embedded and superimposed on top of each other as the red light fades to be replaced by a deep blue glow that blinds our minds.
Our rage and fury fade to be replaced by calmness as peaceful as the ocean in the eye of a storm, and we all float in that calmness as we come back into ourselves kneeling wrapped in each other's arms, our foreheads pressed together.
