You are my heaven on earth
You are my hunger, my thirst
I always hear this voice inside

Bella POV:

The funeral ended. I have never felt so much sadness in my entire life. I was holding Edward's hand, but my eyes were looking for the boy with honey-blond hair and fluid gold eyes. Everyone went inside the house, and I told Edward I would stay behind for a bit. As soon as everyone was inside, I saw Jasper run towards my direction and I was lifted up as I felt his cool lips and tongue inside my mouth. He held my hair as he kissed me, and I have never felt this much force and passion from a kiss.

"I love you, hun." He told me. It came unexpectedly, even though he already told me. I contemplated, while biting my lower lip; I was afraid Edward would hear. But he knew everything, and I could not prevent the words from coming out of my mouth.

"I love you too, Jasper. I really do." I have never been this hopeful. This relationship was moving so fast; I could barely blink to check if this is just a dream. It was a matter of weeks until I was absolutely sure I was in love with Edward, but it only took a few days with Jasper. Jasper smiled when he heard that I love him, too.

He took my hand and kissed it. "Let's go, Bella. Let's get out of here, just for a while."

"W-What?" I blinked, confused. I was not one to make immediate decisions.

"Let's go somewhere. Anywhere you'd like. I just want to be with you alone."

"Jasper, that's not how it works! My best friend and your wife just died. I broke Edward's heart. I can't." I said hysterically.

"It's okay, darling. But please consider it." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Its been you all along." He whispered to himself, but I heard it. I smiled to myself and pecked him on the lips, standing on the tip of my toes.

"I'll be back. Wait for me?" I asked with hope.

"Yes, ma'am." He chuckled.

I found Edward on top of his bed; he looked as if he was deep in his thoughts. I lightly tapped on his door, even though it was halfway open and asked

"Edward? Can I come in?" I hesitated over my words. He was so statuesque; his dark eyes and hair topped his white skin so beautifully.

"Yes. Come here." He was still sitting on his bed, and pulled me on his lap.

"Is everything fine?" I asked after I kissed him on his cheek.

"It is, Bella. It has been difficult losing Alice, but on the bright side, I know you are here." He kissed the tears on my face with his cold, soft, lips.

"I love you, Edward." I blurted it out. Crap. Of course I love him! But why is this so confusing?

"Darling." He carefully kissed my lips, moving slowly. This was not what I felt with Jasper. Jasper made me feel like there was always a new, exciting, adventure waiting for us. I also feel love for Edward, of course, but there is nothing brilliant about the way it constantly plateaus. Maybe it's better for me. Maybe knowing I'll feel this way about Edward for the rest of my life will help me; I might lose what I feel towards Jasper.

"Edward. I think I should take a break from all of this. I am so confused. I am so, so sorry. I love you. But I need to get my head together. Is that alright?"

"Of course it is, dear." He patted my hair.

I let out a sigh of relief. Now it was the hardest part: Jasper.

When I went back to the front yard, Jasper still stood in the exact same spot where I had seen him before.

"I have never felt this way about anyone. You are amazing, Jasper. But I'm going to take a while off to get my thoughts straight. Maybe another day we can run away together, but not today. Please understand."

"I understand, Bella. But I think that if you are taking a break, I might as well also take one. I am leaving. I don't know when I'll come back. I will come back eventually, and you know how to reach me." He kissed my on the lips. Why did he have to do that! Now I'll never want him to leave my sight. "See you later, my Bella." He left in a flash. All I could do now is to return to a normal life. A human life. I didn't know how the next few weeks would be now that Jasper left. It was as if I thirsted for him as much as he thirsted for blood. But this was my fault, and my decision. I had a lot to think about.

PLEASE REVIEW! EACH ONE COUNTS! =D
