Chapter 2

Jasper

"Jazzy, we need to talk," Alice repeats herself.

"What about?" I ask, keeping an ear on Edward.

"You need to sign these," she says handing me a stack of papers.

I take them and skim through them. I look back at her because she handed me divorce papers. She slightly smiles and sits down next to me.

"What is going on?" I ask.

"I've had a vision and it's time we separate. You knew we weren't going to last forever, but we were supposed to be together for a while. I love you Jazzy, but my mate will be in town a few months and it's time. I'll always love you, but it's more of a family love."

"Have you seen my mate as well?" I ask.

"I have, but you'll have to wait for her to heal. Physically, mentally and emotionally." She smiles.

Emmett and Rose come walking into the house as I hand the signed papers back to Alice. Rose tilts her head to the side and I shake my head indicating that we'd talk later.

"Where is he?" Emmett asks.

"He's still in the cell in the basement. Emmett you need to stop and calm down. He'll be getting his soon." Alice looks at Emmett.

My phone buzzes and I see a text from Peter. I look at Alice and she nods.

Step out and answer when I call. Peter

I stepped outside and two seconds later my phone starts ringing. I answer it and put it up to my ear.

"Major, listen and listen real good. Char and I are coming to visit, but things are gonna get ugly when we show up. I wanna meet your mate an' Eddie is gonna have a lot to answer for. Now when ya go inside youre gonna go to the hospital and visit lil lady and tell her we'll see y'all soon."

He hangs up and I head back inside to let the rest of them know I was heading out. I'd have to hunt before heading to the hospital. I didn't want to bring any more type of hurt to Bella.

"I'm heading out for a hunt, then I'll be heading to the hospital. Call if he gets too out of hand and you can't handle him," I say.

"He won't be no trouble. He can't attach his missing parts since they're in metal boxes. Say hello from me, please," Alice says.

"I will."

Bella

I come to with machines beeping all around me. I groan because I know exactly what the beeping is. I'm in the hospital, but for the life of me I can't remember why. I open my eyes and see that it's dark in the room. The shades are shut so I can't tell if it's day or night time. I see someone move out of the corner of my eye.

"Calm down Bella. Its just me," Jasper says.

"What? What happened?" I ask.

"What do you remember?" He comes closer.

"Ah, Bella. It's good to see that you're awake." Carlisle comes into the room.

"She doesn't remember what happened." Jasper looks at him.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Carlisle asks me.

"I remember Rose carrying me to your office and then everything went black." My voice above a whisper.

"Do you remember anything before Rose carrying you to my office?" He asks.

"No, but why does my neck hurt?" I ask.

"Bella, Edward was choking you. He made you lose your breath which caused you to pass out. You have braces on both knees and will have to be put on bed rest until your back is healed."

"Edward wouldn't do that to me. He loves me," I say.

"Dear, he's been abusing you. I've taken x-rays and you've got sprains in several places. Your knees will probably require surgery in the future. Your back will heal in a few months given you take it easy." He looks over my chart. "Also, he's been taking your blood. I'm not sure if he's been drinking it or not, but that much blood loss is risky and suspicious."

"He's been takin' her blood!" Jasper jumps up out of his chair with a growl.

"Calm down son," Carlisle says, putting his hand on Jasper's shoulder.

"What about my dad?" I ask, keeping an eye on Jasper.

"Well, for now I'll be telling him that you were in a car accident that killed Edward. I'm going to suggest that you stay with us until you heal. With him being busy at work it'd be best for you to be with us."

"Oh, Peter and Charlotte will be coming to visit, but I'm sure he knows we'll have Bella staying with us." Jasper takes my hand in his.

"Your friends from your past?" I ask.

"Yes, I'm not sure what Peter knows, but I'm sure it's not good," Jasper says. "When will she be able to get out of here?"

"Tomorrow morning. Are you staying with her tonight?"

"Yes, I won't be leaving her side. If you need help with him let me know and I'll come, but I won't leave her alone."

A/N: I'll be ending this here. I won't be posting another chapter until I can get it prewritten to chapter 10. Hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays!
