Jasper's POV
Anyone with less heightened vision may have missed it as it sat silently under the bed, against the centre of the wall. I would know that object anywhere as I had been the one to make the purchase. I reached over and lifted the garment out from the darkness and the scent hit me...Alice.
Snarling I grabbed the thong and flew into mine and Alice's room, throwing the object onto the magazine she was holding. She looked up in surprise, a smile gracing her lips.
"Thanks Hun, I have been looking for this everywhere. Where was it?"
I looked into her trusting eyes and felt nothing but contempt. Her smile began to waver as she noticed my stance. That was when I told her my discovery. Her smile was replaced with a grimace and pain filled her eyes.
Alice's POV
I looked up and Jasper and felt dread as I took in his dark eyes and rage fuelled posture.
"I found it under Edward's bed. Funny place to find your wife's underwear, ya know, under your brothers bed. At first I thought maybe it just got lost with his laundry and somehow slipped own of his basket of clean clothes without him noticing, but then I noticed that they have been worn...by you. Your smell is all over them. So please tell me what I am thinking is wrong. That I'm deluded to think that you would do this to me."
I looked in his eyes and the saw the pain lurking there. I wanted to tell him he was wrong but I couldn't lie to him like that.
The only thing I could say was, "I made a mistake...we made a mistake. It was one time and we were both upset. It was soon after Bella's birthday, after you took off and I didn't know how to help you and you seemed like you didn't want any help from me. I hadn't seen you for days. Edward had just been to see Bella and had told her we were leaving. He was devastated and we were in his room talking and then we made a mistake we have both regretted ever since." I saw him shake his head and turn towards the hall, with his fist clenched so tight his shoulders were shaking from the force. "IT WAS A MISTAKE, WE DIDNT DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO HAPPEN!" I shouted after him but it was too late, he was already downstairs.
Edward's POV
6.08pm...She's definitely home. I reached for the phone with a trembling hand, why do I feel so nervous it's only Bella...My Bella. Dialling her number quickly, the line rang twice and then I heard the sweetest voice in the world.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby," I sighed, "I couldn't wait any longer to call I have missed you so much."
I heard the smile in her voice as she said:
"I missed yo..." I didn't hear the rest of her response as I was sent flying through the air by Jasper and pinned to the ground. WTF? His fist connected with my face as he let out a roar.
"You son of a bitch! How could you do this to me?! How could you sleep with her?"
I laid there in shock, not knowing how to respond. As his fist came towards me again he was suddenly pulled back by my bear of a brother Emmett. Rosalie's face came into view, one of pure fury as she glared at Jasper.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Jasper? We have enough enemies already without you attacking Edward for no good reason!"
He snarled his response with more hatred than I thought possible for such a sensitive creature.
"He fucked Alice!!"
The look of shock and disgust that passed over my siblings' faces and the faces of Carlisle and Esme, who were now present to witness the show, cut me deeper as I was overwhelmed with shame. It was then that I noticed Alice at the foot of the stairs shaking and looking mortified. Then we heard the whisper and all was still. All I could hear was the breaking of my heart.
"Bella knows now."
