Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
- With or Without You, U2

Bella POV:

Everything was complete. I was going to graduate in a few months, get turned into a vampire, and be with the person who I love for eternity. It was going to be perfect, too perfect.

"Bella, do you know how much you mean to me?" Edward asked. His eyes were going through mine.

"Yes, I do." I smiled. I was a bit bothered, though. We are just so perfect for each other, it seems unhealthy. I do love him, more than anybody, but now things seemed too definite. Nothing ever broke us apart, and if we were not together, it seemed like my world would blacken.

Edward's lips touched mine; they were so soft. But instead of closing my eyes like I usually do to experience the moment, my eyes were open. I looked to the left, and saw Jasper. He held a book, but he was not reading it; he was staring at me. His eyes were completely dark. When he noticed that I looked, he quickly went back to reading the book.

"Is something wrong, love?" Edward probably caught the shaking on my lips.

"No, nothing." I looked in his eyes, and they darkened, too. "Edward… You should go hunting. I am not going to keep you here."

"No, Bella, it's alright. I'll stay with you." He played with my hair.

"Please, Edward." I was afraid when his eyes turned black. "Please go. I'll be with Jasper and Alice. It will be fine." I smiled.

"Are you sure?" he asked hesitantly.

"Positive."

"Okay then. But call me if something is wrong, alright, darling?"

"Of course I will."

"I'll be back in two days with everyone else. It seemed like they went far out this time, so I need to catch up with them." He pondered. I appreciated his face one last time before he left, and pecked him on the cheek.

"I love you." He pulled me into a hug. "Goodbye, Jasper." He waved as he left.

Holy crap. I was alone in the house with Jasper. I forgot that Alice was busy… How do I talk to him? We were never really too close. He put his book down and came towards my direction.

"Hello, Bella." He told me.

"Jasper." I smiled.

"Let's do something." He offered. Wow, Jasper wanted to do something with me. I felt honored.

"Sure, what?"

"Lets dance." He said. Dance?! What?

"Jasper, I don't dance!" I cringed at the thought of moving my two left feet. "And since when do you dance?" Jasper has always been a mystery to me. Learning about him was fascinating.

"I'll teach you. We have a lot of time to spend, I'm sure you will pick it up by the end." He let out a smile.

He held out his hand. "Ma'am?" My hand shook as I placed it in his. I looked at his face, and I got carried away. It didn't matter that I hated dancing; I would try it if he taught me. His honey blond hair was the exact same color of his now starry eyes.

His beautiful hand held my waist, and pulled me closer to him.

"Put you arm on my shoulder." He said. I did as he told me, feeling the coldness of his body. He was so much more taller than I was, and I his eyes were darting at mine. My heart started racing.

"Bella, your heart." He placed his arm on my chest, where my heartbeat was. His touch healed my heart, and it slowed, providing us a beat.

"Ok, now, just move your feet like mine." I watched him move so naturally, like water falling down a waterfall. It was so beautiful; I didn't want to ruin it with my clumsiness. But then I started moving my feet, too, and it seemed like they moved together perfectly. I don't know how long we have been moving, but it must have been at least an hour. It became a pattern that I never wanted to end. I looked out the window and saw the sun going down. After a few minutes, it was completely dark outside.

"Bella, let's go outside."

"Okay." I swallowed. I didn't want his arm to let go of my waist. I was going to let my hand let go of his, but he gripped it. I was shocked; he liked holding my hand.

Once we were outside, we stood by the river that was very close to the Cullen's house.

"There are so many stars in the sky, ugh." They were all blinding me.

"Sometimes I think there are not enough." Jasper said.

"But there are billions of them."

"Yes – but because there are so many, no one ever notices if one falls down. Wouldn't life be so much easier that way?"

"Maybe." I admitted. Our hands were still linked together. "Jasper… You love Alice, don't you? And I love Edward."

His face came towards me, and I could feel my breath reflect on his skin.

"No, Jasper, we can't." I pulled back.

"I will never force anything on you, Bella. But I am here."

And that was the moment where I knew my plans with Edward would come to an end.

If I come up with an idea for the next chapter, I think it will be Jasper's POV.
