A/N: Dang! It's been awhile since I updated. Sorry blame my school. (The teachers are nuts.) Plus all the college applications to worry about. Now that summer's here I will be more reliable. Updates will come!! Anyway here's the next chapter. Remember to review. Here's a question to think about: Will Jasper kill Bella? Dun, dun, dun. Ok, to the story!! P.S. The beginning might be a little confusing but all will be explained so please be patient.

Kitty -sitting with Edward, Emmett, and Jasper-: So how's life as a vampire?

-all shrug- Edward: It's ok aside from the fact that we are damned.

Kitty -frowning-: I don't think your damned.

Edward -now frowning-: Bella would agree with you.

Author: I could write it in saying you don't believe your damned.

Edward -growling-: Well it would change anything because you don't own the Twilight series.

Author -crying- I was just trying to help!

Jasper's POV

I focused on the emotions around me. Not only the pain, but also the concern and fear radiating from everyone. I heard someone rustle, probably Bella, and then felt her pain intensify. Then I heard Alice gasp, and before I had time to think, my mind went blank.

BELLAS POV

The first thing I noticed was an odd sensation coming from my hand. The hand I hit on the shelf. It was numb but felt like it was being pulled. Well, the center of it did. The next thing I noticed was I was laying on something soft. The floor of the grocery store was not this soft, it was hard. I also noticed that I did not hear any anxious voices, specifically Edward's.

Any time I become injured, he freaks out. He will not calm down until I tell him that I'm fine and even then he worries. But, even though I'm quite sure I fainted, I did not hear him calling my name nor questioning Alice to see when I would wake. It made me worry.

Then I remembered why I fainted. I had smelled and seen my blood coming from my hand and it was too much with the combined stress of watching Jasper. Jasper. I hope he's okay. I hope he isn't injured or hurt or that I didn't cause pain. I hope Edward didn't attack him. Is he okay?

This was getting frustrating. I decided it was time to open my eyes. After my eyes focused, I recognized the perfect features of Carlisle Cullen. I watched as he was stitching up my hand. That explained the tugging I felt and the numbness. I unconsciously let out a gasp. Carlisle turned to look at me.

"Why hello Bella. It's good to see you're awake. Maybe Edward will calm down now." He smiled.

"Edward? Where is he? How did I get here? Is Jasper okay? I didn't ruin his self-control did I because if I did I am so sor-" I was rambling when someone interrupted me.

"Calm down, Bella" a soft, calm voice said. "I'm unscathed unlike you, so stop worrying about me and calm down." I felt a hand on my shoulder and then felt extremely calm.

"Jasper? Why…? How…?…"

"Bella, calm down first, talk later." I felt another wave of calm come over me. I began to take deep dramatic breaths in and out. After a few minutes I decided to begin questioning Jasper and Carlisle again.

"So, why is Edward not here freaking out about my health?" I started with the interrogation.

"Trust me Bella, he really wishes he was. But with much persuasion, mainly from me and Alice, he has decided to help unload the car." Jasper gave me a kind smile and continued. "He wasn't thrilled with it though, as you well know."

"Hmm. Wait, what is he helping to unload?" I questioned. We didn't buy anything.

"The groceries for you, Bella." Jasper gave me a look. He seemed to questioned my intelligence. "That is why we went out in the first place."

"I know that, but I never finished my shopping."

"Well, we guessed what you might want. Don't worry," I felt my anxiety disappear, "we didn't buy much." I doubted that. My definition of a lot and the Cullen's definition where almost complete opposites. I considered them buying me anything a lot, while they thought that buying me a car and paying for college was very small. I guess when you has unlimited amounts of money, cost matters little to you.

"Uh-huh. If you say so. Oh!" I exclaimed. "I'm so sorry about earlier Jasper. I didn't mean to cause you such grief. Are you okay? I didn't cause you pain did I? Did Edward attack you? I apologize if he did."

"Bella, calm down." He chuckled quietly while whispering to himself, "Alice was right, as usual."

My eyes narrowed. "What do you mean 'Alice was right, as usual'?"

Fear flashed through Jasper's eyes and my body, then Jasper's face became passive again. "Oh, nothing."

I could tell I wouldn't get anything out of him right now, so I repeated my earlier question. "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I wish I could say the same for you." He eyed the hand Carlisle was working on.

I glanced at Carlisle. "Oh, this is nothing, compared to what I've been through."

They both laughed, "True." Jasper said. He was quite talkative today. I had a feeling something was up. But before my suspicion could grow, my Greek god ran into the room.

"Bella, oh Bella." He cried hugging me. Carlisle had finished my hand and was cleaning up now.

I watched as Carlisle and Jasper silently left the room. As soon as my attention was on Edward again, I felt his cold lips on mine. All coherent thought was swept from my mind as my hands found their way to his hair. When he pulled away I was gasping trying to catch my breath. "Mmm, Bella. You smell so good right now." And right on cue I blushed. Edward smiled crookedly.

"Cut it out you two." called Alice as she walked into the room. "Now, that Bella's awake, she needs to eat, and then we go SHOPPING!!"

I cringed, "Must we Alice?"

"Yes, of course, what's a sleepover without any new clothes?" Alice questioned.

"Umm, still a sleepover." I answered.

She frowned disapprovingly. "Bella, Bella, Bella, I have so much to teach you. But now is not the time, go eat so we can leave." She ordered.

Grumbling I headed toward the kitchen with Edward following. Once I was through the doorway, I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head. "What the h…" Edward's hand covered my mouth interrupting me.

"Don't say anything." He whispered in my ear.
