Love lost

Bella sat in her room wondering how life had gotten so messed up. She had fallen in love, and she had fallen hard. Then her love has been taken away from her without warning by a series of unfortunate events (I love those stories, don't you?). Mike Newton had approached her more times than she could count, and even after turning him down, the guy couldn't take a hint.

She lay down and closed her eyes. Why had life chosen her to torture, she wondered. She heard a faint tapping on her window and looked. She saw the last person she expected to see. Jasper. He had taken the precaution of feeding before coming to visit his friend. He smiled timidly and motioned that he wanted her to open the window. She just stared at him, shocked. Jasper was still alive? Was he a vampire too? Probably, her mind reasoned, they were together when they were attacked. She stood up and opened the window. It was hard to believe after looking in his eyes that he would ever harm his little 'sister'. Jasper smiled in response to her opening the window. He climbed through slowly so as not to startle her.

" Bella are you all right? You're deathly pale!" Bella wasn't frightened. The concern in his voice soothed her. That and something else. She pushed it to the back of her mind. It didn't matter. All that mattered was that Jasper was alive.

" I'm fine Jasper. You just scared me, that's all. What are you doing here?" Jasper's face fell as if that were the one question he was hoping she wouldn't ask.

" I'm here mostly because I live here and secondly because I missed you." He grinned mischievously as he said the last part. Bella was stunned. Jasper looked even more handsome than before. Since she didn't respond, Jasper looked at her curiously.

" What's up?" Bella smiled meekly and blushed furiously. Jasper's eyes widened and he stopped breathing.

" Bella, for once in your life could you not blush? Your blood smells so … appealing." Bella took this as confirmation of her fear. Jasper was indeed a vampire? But, she thought, he hasn't tried to hurt me even though he could. Jasper looked like he was scared then he looked thoughtful. In the end he was just confused.

" I've never felt such emotions. And so quickly, one after the other…" His eyes lit up. " Bella! What are you feeling right now?" Bella didn't answer. She stared at him because it was the weirdest question any one has ever asked her.

" I'm feeling confused and upset." Bella answered curtly. Jasper stared off into space with a look of concentration on his face. (That rhymed, hehe)

" I felt those things too. But now I feel hurt. What in my appearance has caused you grief?" Bella turned a way realizing that she had hurt Jasper's feelings.

" Sorry Jasper. I'm just an emotional wreck. I feel so many of them that I don't know which is for which situation."

" Let me guess. Edward hasn't come to talk to you yet." He assumed. True, Bella thought.

" No he hasn't." Jasper looked perturbed by this.

" By the way…uhh…" Jasper stuttered. It isn't very pleasant to tell someone that you bit their best friend and turned them into a vampire too. " Well the thing is… I kinda… sorta…bit Alice… so she's a vampire too…" He looked very uncomfortable when he said this and Bella's reaction was not what he had expected.

" So now all of my friends are vampires except for me. Great!" She looked so miserable that Jasper felt a hole growing in his heart.

"You always have Emmett, you know…" He trailed off suggestively.

" Yeah, that's really wonderful. Thanks Jasper. Thanks so much." She hissed between her teeth. Jasper frowned at her reaction to his joke. She turned away from him and sat on her bed. He moved to put his hand on her shoulder to show he was sorry when she whipped her head around.

" Don't touch me, vampire." She spat the last word at Jasper. A look of severe hurt crossed his face. She looked remorseful for her harsh words but Jasper just pressed his lips together and kept quiet for a while. He sat next to her on her bed, keeping his distance. She began to cry and Jasper moved closer to her, pulling her to his stone chest. She gasped slightly at how cold he was but didn't speak. She sobbed silently. Jasper put his arms around her comfortingly.

" I'm so sorry Jasper. I know you were just trying to make me feel better. I'm sorry." Jasper chuckled and his cool breath tickled her scalp.

" It's all right. The only person who has a worst temper than you is Rosalie." Bella had to crack a smile at this. Jasper stood up and she stood with him. He smiled and gave her one more gentle hug before going back to the windowsill.

" I'll tell Edward you said hi and force him to come soon." He smiled doubtfully.

" You know Jasper, we have a pretty good front door, and you might try using it sometime." Jasper laughed as he jumped out the window. His laughter filled her ears and made her feel like laughing too.

" Bye Jasper." She whispered. He was probably too far away for him to hear. Suddenly she heard him yell,

" Bye Bella!" Wow, she thought. They have good hearing too.
