Chapter 13
Edward POV-
I felt my heart break as I watch Jasper leave.
With tears in my eyes I find my phone and call Seth, who has been living near by just in case he is needed.
"Mr. Cullen." He answers, always the professional.
"Hey Seth, um Jasper and I just well… Um I just need you to pick him up. Take him back to Sam and Emily. Please." I didn't want to get into all the details with Seth about what was going on.
"Sure thing Sir." He says before pausing. "Edward, are you alright?"
He sounded so concerned about me that I couldn't help but answer.
"I'll be fine." With that the call disconnects and I fall in a heap to the floor.
I can't even calm down enough to call Emily and tell her.
Instead I choose to text her.
Emily,
I screwed up. I'm sorry for everything. Seth is bringing Jasper back there. Please get him whatever he will need, before he leaves.
-Edward
I don't even bother looking at her reply a minute later as I let myself cry. I had felt like Jasper truly liked me and considering he could see past my beastly appearance. It wasn't my appearance that scared me away. It was Tony, a boy who acted better than everyone, treated so many like crap and made fun of Jasper, for not only being poor and so unlike the popular people, but because Tony couldn't admit that he had a crush on another boy. Not just any boy though, on Jasper.
Tony could not be gay.
But Edward, Edward was free of those people who Tony had called friends. And Tony's father was nothing to Edward. No the only people to truly mattered where Emily and Sam. They didn't care if Edward liked Jasper. They just wanted him to be happy.
Jasper, Jasper mattered most of all.
I had tried so long to make sure everything was perfect for him. Emily had called just yesterday to tell me that the pool was done and that we can come back whenever we want.
At the time I couldn't wait to take Jasper back and show him. Now I can't stop the tears as I realize he'll never know. He'll leave and I will forever be alone. Cursed to be this creature for the rest of my life.
I let sleep take me, as my tears dry.
In my dream I am standing there watching an all too familiar scene unfold.
Tony was with his friends. The doorbell had just rang causing everyone to run to the door.
"It's that strange kid we went to high school with." Jacob says, as he opens the door. "What you want?" Jacob demands though Jasper isn't looking at him, jasper is looking at Tony.
"Edward?" Jasper quietly says, looking between me and the retreating Jacob. "I need you…. Please…" Jaspers voice was suddenly so far away.
The moment my eyes popped open I knew it was night and I quickly called Seth.
"Mr. Cullen?" His voice says on the first ring.
"Seth something's wrong I need you to come get me, please." I say skipping all pleasantries.
"I'm on my way Sir." He says before the call is disconnected.
I take the time to dial Jaspers cell and get no reply before handing up and trying Emily's and Sam's getting the same results.
"Take me back to the house please Seth." I say as soon as I get into the car, not even giving him time to get out of the car to open my door.
"OK buckle up." He says and we are off.
The moment we pull up to the house I jump out, at seeing the door wide open, and a strange car parked in front.
"Hey, Quil, call Embry. Head over to the house asap, something's going on." I hardly realize Seth had called some cop friends of his as I race inside, calling Jaspers name.
Jasper POV- Five hours before.
"Emily, I'll be fine here alone." I assure her for the seventh time in two minutes as I walk her to the door where Sam waited for her. "Go, have fun and enjoy your anniversary. I'll see you later."
"Ok, take care Jasper. There's dinner in the oven take it out when the buzzer beeps. We'll be home about one." And like that she is gone and I am alone for the first time in what seems like forever.
The buzzer goes off five minutes later and I practically inhale the enchiladas as thoughts of Edward and Tony plague my mind. After eating I make my way to the living room and watch Lord of The Rings, though my mind is more on Edward than the movie.
Loud banging on the door frightens me as I jump up to answer the door, not realizing the time. I throw open the door, thinking it must be Sam and Emily, somehow locked out.
"There you are boy." My father says with a creepy grin as he and a man he is with push their way inside.
I back up, my eyes scanning for anything I can use as a weapon as I see both men holding knifes.
"Don't even think about fighting back. Your father already promised you'll be good for me." The man said stepping even closer to me, causing me to take a step back only to realize I'm now backed up into a corner. The clock strikes twelve and the man grins even bigger. "Time to see the freak." He says, as me wings grow, ruining my shirt in the process. Before I register what's happening he's pulling me away from the wall and throwing me face down onto the couch, his disgusting hand touching one of my wings. "I believe you are right, we indeed can do business, I'll give you 2." He says talking to my father. I don't hear my fathers reply as there is suddenly pain in my wings; I look at him to see him holding up some feathers from my wings. Its then what is happening dawns on me and I jump up, running towards the kitchen, praying I will get to the knives in time to get one before they stop me.
"Put that down boy." My father demands as I grab the hung meat cleaver knife, and holding it out in front of me. I could feel blood drip down my wing, I knew they would heal, but until sunrise they would bleed and I would be in horrible pain from them. I couldn't let it make we weak right now. If this man got me out of the house that was it, I knew I would never have a chance to get away.
My vision was wavering as a new voice demanded someone to stop. I become unaware of my surroundings as darkness takes me, falling onto the floor, my own blood seeping my shirt.
I wake to gentle hands picking me up and carrying me.
"Edward?" I question as my eyes open as I see his familiar face.
"Shhh Jasper, you're safe now. Please just rest, they are gone, no one can hurt you any more." Its then that I realize he's shirtless and there was something, most likely his shirt, wrapped around my wings, trying to stop the bleeding.
I wrap my arms around him as he carries me up the stairs and into my room. It's only when he lays me on my side away from him, and goes to leave that I turn to face him, wincing slightly from the pain in my wing as I move.
"Please don't leave me Edward." I say, as I reach out to his arm.
His eyes seem sad as he nods, sitting on the bed, I waste no time curling my body around his as my head rests above his heart. I let the gentle beating of his heart lulu me to sleep.
"I love you Edward." I say before sleep fully takes me, not even hearing his own confession of love for me.
"Jasper, wake up." Edward voice calls to me, waking me up. Before I open my eyes I notice the feel of skin under my hand, that had been resting of Edward's chest.
"Edward?" I question as I open my eyes and see human Tony, though a little older.
"You broke the spell." He whispers as I hear a little giggle and bolt up to see that girl Alice from school, smiling at us.
"I knew you could break the spell Jasper." She says walking closer to us, as he appearance changes.
There standing in her place was Emily.
"Emily?" Edward and I both gasp.
"Yes, I'm so sorry, Edward. You where becoming so spoiled I had to do something. When I went to school as Alice and Jasper made a wish that some guy in school learn their lesson I came up with this." She says taking a small step towards us. "The spell is broken Jasper and I also have the power to break your own spell."
With that she points to my wings.
"You can take them away?" I whisper and she nods.
Is that what I wanted? I was so use to having them, to hiding away when they were to grow. What would it be like to not have them at all?
AN: Please let me know what you think. Also please in a review let me know should Jasper keep his wings or get rid of them? I have yet to fully decide if he should keep them or not.
This is sadly the last chapter. The next chapter will be the epilogue.
