It Had been two weeks since Jasper's last incident, He couldn't remember what had happened, He wouldn't believe it was actually him, He felt like a knew he was. What was the point of going on if he was no longer that caring gentle teenager he was to a vicious, blood thirsty animal. Even the slightest drop of blood would have made him go insane. Carlisle had tried his best to help Jasper cope with his blood lust but it wasn't coming through. Bella was their main problem and as long as Edward and Bella together, Jasper was going to have to control himself even more. The room he was in dark, the curtain's down fully so no light could get in. Only slits of light dazzled through. Jasper didn't want to feel like more of a monster then he actually was. Sparkling wasn't going to help him in trying to come over what he had done. Alice slowly opened the door, scanning the room for any life. Nothing but papers and smashed tables and chairs, it was a complete mess. She didn't want to know what had happened, she thought it was best she didn't. Finally, after the shock of the room itself she saw Jasper cuddled up in the corner, he was staring blankly at the wall across the way. She turned her head towards the wall, There was a picture on the wall, she couldn't see what was on there. She walked slowly towards Jasper.
"Jasper? Hunny? Its been two weeks, don't you think you should come out now?" she said hesitantly, she didn't know what jasper was going to do. To her, this wasn't her husband, but she was going to do all she could to get him back.
"How? How could i have dangered them?" Jasper questioned. Alice said nothing. She didn't know what to say. This had never happened before. She wasn't ready. Alice continued to walk towards Jasper. Step by step, she just focused in on Jasper. She Felt as if there was nothing around them. It was just her and her husband. She slid down the wall to sit beside Jasper. Her Heart raced faster and faster as time went by, she was frightened. She was sure anyone would be in her situation.
"Listen, it isn't your fault. Its what us vampires are like, Besides, you're still getting used to it. It does take time, You should be happy, Bella isn't hurt. And Edward doesn't hate you either, No one does. We're just concerned that you might do something extreme. We want you to be safe...I Want you to be safe." She said, as confident as she could. She laid her head against his shoulder. Jasper turned to look at her. His eyes were blank, showing very little to know emotion. But when he looked at his wife, He felt hope. He felt like he actually could get over this.
Alice looked at the picture on the wall. It was Her and Jasper on the day that they were married. The smiles, The Happiness, She looked back on that day. She wanted it to be like that again. She looked at Jasper in that picture and she knew from that, that Jasper loved her. "I'm sorry for what happened Alice." Jasper finally uttered. "Just give me a little more time, I'll get by this." He said. Alice Smiled. She saw signs of her husband coming back. Maybe things wouldn't be changed forever.
"Alright Jazzy. Well whenever your ready, we're all downstairs. We're watching Casablanca!" She said with a sudden spring of life in her and a wide smile which made Jasper look up and couldn't help but smile. He felt lucky to have her there to help him. He wasn't ready to come downstairs yet, but he was motivated to change. Shouldn't be long till he was ready to be seen again.

The sun went down and Jasper had calmed down from his former state, he had cleaned up his mess and lifted the curtains. The moon was bright and full. He Could hear the howling of a wolf in the distance. 'Perfect scene for a horror movie' he thought to himself. There was a smashed mirror on the ground. No reflection. He took all the shattered pieces and put them into the nearest waste basket he could find. He thought to himself he must have looked in an awful state. He hadn't shaved for 2 weeks, and he didn't drink sheep's blood for two weeks either. He was feeling very weak. A simple two steps would make him wabble and lean on to the nearest thing he could find. And with an acceptance of what he had already done, he opened the door of his room and took his first steps back into the world.
He could hear Humphrey Bogart's voice blaring off the t.v. Which each step down those stairs (which seemed to be 100 feet long to him) he stumbled. There was a creak from the staircase when Jasper stood on it and with that, Edward, Emmett, Alice and Carlisle all sat on the couch, turned around to look at Jasper suddenly. There was an awkward silence felt presence in the room. Jasper continued to walk down and sat on the other chair beside the couch. The rest of them all still watched Jasper. It was like they had just seen a ghost. Jasper wanted the awkward silence to end so he thought of the first thing that came to mind and say it out loud. The eyes still focused on him.
"So um..." Jasper scratched his head. 'Come on, think, think, think!' he thought to himself. "Um...Wheres Esme?" He finally came up with. He honestly didn't care, he just wanted to hear someones voice. "Shes gone out to Shop. You know how she is with Decorating the house." Carlisle said. He smiled. He was happy to see Jasper again. They all were. They were just stunned by his sudden recovery. It felt like they haven't seen him for years. Ingrid Bergman's voice was going through in the background. "And em, Rosalie?" Jasper asked again. He looked at alice, She was jawdropped. It was almost like they were meeting again for the first time. She quickly smiled. She couldn't have been happier at that very moment. "Well shes gone with Esme. Keep her company." Alice replied, Her smile warmed Jasper's heart. All he could do was smile back. He knew everything was gonna be just the same. They began watching Casblanca. Well almost everyone. Jasper and Edward stared blankly into each other. There was no smile on Edward's face, no emotion at all. Jasper stared with concern. He was already sorry for what he had done but he was more concern on what Edward would do to him. Esme and Rosalie came bursting through the door. Esme said with a happy tone "Hey everyone! Guess what -" She stopped. She saw those blonde curls that only belong to one person. She was shocked and suprised by Jasper's appearance. "Come on Esme, Move your ass, i need to get through and-" shouted Rosalie before she saw what Esme saw. They suddenly both smiled. They felt like everything was going back to normal. They dragged in their bags of new interior designs. As soon as they were out of sight, they slid in between their husbands. Alice jumped off and fell into Jasper's lap. It felt good to have Alice in his arms again. He was feeling happy again. Then Edward, still staring at Jasper, was all alone. Edward suddenly got up from the couch and everyone stared at him. "You'll regret it. Maybe Not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon, and for the rest of your life." Humphrey said off the t.v. "I want to leave." Edward said. "Well, i know you don't have to be here in the room, you can leave if you'd like." Carlisle replied. "NO! I want to leave forks. completly" Edward shouted. "We'll always have paris." Humphrey said as the film came close to an end. But nobody payed attention to the film. They were all shocked at Edward's statement. And were confused.

The room went silent. No one could believe what they just heard. "W-Why do you want to move Edward?" Carlisle asked. He was certain everyone wanted to know. They all thought Edward was happy in Forks. He had Bella and nothing had gone wrong so far. So why would He want to leave it all behind? "I-I Don't want to hurt her Carlisle. I'm afraid that shes gonna get hurt if i stay longer with her. And what if she does get hurt? I could never forgive myself." "Yes, but shes not going to be hurt. She has you and us to protect her. Theres no need to worry." Alice replied. "No need to worry? Didn't you see what happened two weeks ago? Bella got a simple papercut and Jasper was ready to tare her to bits, and you weren't far from close yourself Alice." Jasper and Alice went silent, They were ashamed of what happened. They wanted to leave it all in the past, That was like ancient history to them. They wanted to forget as much of it as they could. "I thought i already put her through enough, you remember those tracker vampires, they almost killed her. and now, even our own family almost killed her. We're nothing but trouble for Bella and you know it as much as I do, so we might as well move."
Carlisle and the others didn't know what to say. He looked at Esme and then looked down to the floor. He thought to himself what could he do. Edward was right. It was best if they left, just none of them wanted to leave. They liked it in Forks. Everyone they knew was there. Its not as if they could up and leave from that. "Alright Edward, if its what you really want....we'll...leave." Esme finally announced. Carlisle looked shocked. He didn't think that Esme would agree to such an extreme act. But they couldn't refuse. "Thank you. By the end of this week too. The quicker the better." Edward replied, satisfied by the decision. "Yes...We'll leave Forks by the end of the week. Everyone, pack whatever you need. Anything you don't need leave behind." Carlisle finished. Edward proceded to leave the room and ran up the stairs. Carlisle and Esme both looking frightened and worried, left too up the stairs. One by one, they all left until Jasper and Alice were left alone in the living room.
"I can't believe we're leaving...it doesn't seem right." Alice said. There was nothing but sadness in her face. She didn't want to leave. And she didn't want to hurt Bella. Bella was her friend. Alice then turned to the fireplace. She stood there, looking down at the fire. Jasper stood up from the chair. He knew it was all his fault. He wish he could have taken it all back. It was the most regretful decision he ever made. He couldn't help himself though. Ever since he became a vampire hes had the thirst for blood but he has been trying his very best to overcome his curse. He walked slowly towards Alice, guilt running through his mind. "Why did i have to ruin everything?" he thought. He held Alice in his arms. She turned to him to look at the one she cared about most. "Listen to me alice, I know things look bleak right now but everything will be okay. I promise. I'll make everything right. You have nothing to worry about" He said, trying to comfort her. Alice just looked up at him. She didn't say a word. Just looked into his eyes, then kissed him gently. Then she left the room fast. She didn't know if Jasper was right, she was too upset to even think of looking to the future. Then Jasper was all alone. He signed and sat down on the couch. He turned on the stereo to try and make music sooth him. 'Its only just begun' by Chicago played throughout the house. He didn't like the song but at a time like this...did it really matter what was playing?
