RCA: Round six, here we go! If you don't feel like reviewing then don't. I won't force you...
(Usually my A/N at the top is the same thing. It's the one at the bottom that changes.)
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except what my twisted mind morphs and disorients of Stephanie Meyer's book. I do own my own writing, ideals and plots as well as the other stuff, such as the CD :D (No Terminator ownage either, btw. Cyberdyne owns him....)
POV: Jasper Whitlock-Hale
---Previously on, Bleeding Love---
"Oh my God." Bella whispered, but it was enough. The two broke apart in shock, looking back and forth. Only I spoke:
"Good evening, Alice. Good evening, Edward."
--- ---
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit...." Alice kept breathing over and over, her face screwed up as if she would cry before venom poured from her eyelids. Edward stood in front of her but we had all seen the almost fully naked Alice. It was too late to surender to the screaming, the denial that wanted to burst out. It was too late to stop the flow of venom.
It was too damn late for anything.
I rushed over to Bella, my arms were around her shoulder, and I leaned her face into my chest, trying hard to stay silent. But her howling sobs kept pouring from her broken heart. Nobody moved for a good five minutes until I hissed.
"Edward, you stay the Hell away from Bella." I muttered so low Bella couldn't hear, but her nails dug into my shirt, tore through and grabbed my chest tightly, holding on as if she would die without me. Edward growled, and Alice collapsed on the ground. I casually removed my arm from Bella, but kept her face in my chest, and grabbed the comforter Alice and I once shared. I threw it at her, and she pulled it over her body. Little whore.... I turned to Edward, who began to speak.
"Bella-" I hissed at him but he stood his ground. "I didn't mean for you to find out...I mean, for this to happen. I love you with everything I have and ever will. You just aren't-"
Bella's head snapped up, the golden venom staining her porcelain cheeks.
"I'm not good enough for you now, Edward? I'm not good?! I'm not the one who refused to change the one I love! I'm not the one who lies, betrays and then denies it! I am NOT the one standing naked with my sister!" She shrieked, her finger pointed at his face. He bowed his head silently, a few drops of venom snaking down his nose. Was I the only one not crying? Good. I needed to be strong for my Bella, for my newborn. I was now the only one she had.
"Bella, I love you-" He began again, his face to the floor. When did he collapse in a sobbing heap?
"LIAR!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, lunging for him. I grabbed her hips, prying her scratching fingers from his face. It had left no mark. I probed Alice's feelings.
Guilt. Anxiety. Lust. Love. Fear. Happiness. She was guilty, of getting caught. Anxiety, of what I would do. Lust, still turned on. Love...for my "brother" (even in my head the word was snarled). Fear...she knew we were over. Happiness because she could now be with him. I probed Edward's feeling's next.
Lust. Love. More Love. Fear...he was afraid that I would rip him to shreds, then set him on fire.... He was more or less correct. He felt Happiness as well, which boiled my blood more. This whole thing was...planned.... I probed again and found the same glad, happiness feeling as well.
It was planned. Alice's vision.
I opened my mouth. Bella had stopped crying. Alice looked up at me.
"Alice, you are no longer allowed in this bedroom with me. Alice, I trusted you, I loved you, and you lied to me. We are over." I whispered, snarling when I said her name. I couldn't help it, I had to act. Edward looked up into my eyes, and I felt regret that he would lose me as a brother. Not that he would Bella, but me.
"Brother-" He breathed.
"I am not, nor ever will be your brother. Never. Again." I emphasized the words. "You are a selfish, disgusting vampire. I can feel what you feel, you sick...twisted vampire." I even felt Bella flinch at my disoriented words. I couldn't help but cling to the words that poured out. It needed to be said. "You slept with my wife. You've bit her, scarred her. You can have her. I don't want vermin sleeping next to me." I couldn't believe that I called Alice...my own wife...vermin.
I felt relieved that I did. And I almost laughed as the denial crossed her face. She thought it over again. Vermin.
Then the front door opened a second time. I knew the scent, and at once, Carlisle must have smelt the stiff, awkward air. I could hear Emmett in the background:
"Who's clothes are these?" Rose answered:
"Obviously not yours. Their still on." No shit, sherlock, I thought.
Alice scrambled to her feet, hugging the comforter to her body. Edward stood and froze in place, staring stiffly at his "fiance". Bella wiped the fresh tears from her face and I pulled her tighter to my body.
"Shit." Carlisle breathed, looking from us to them. And in one second...he knew what happened. He stared at his first companion in disgust.
"Carlisle, please." Edward begged, but Carlisle held his hand up. Edward automatically silenced.
"How could you?" He asked the rhetorical question, glancing once at his children before turning to Bella and me.
"What happened? Hello, Bella, look at me please." Carlisle pulled her from my arms and sat her on the bed. She was in shock. Pure newborn vampire shock. The bronze stain on her cheeks were covered by new tears.
"I turned her. She fell off a cliff and I turned her, father." I told him silently. Edward scoffed.
"Attacked her, maybe. You could have never had the control...." but with Carlisle's look, Edward silenced down.
"You did well, my son." He pat my arm affectionately. "Esme, please come here." And Esme was next to him in a flash. She didn't look back once at Edward and Alice, but instead took Bella to her and Carlisle's room to calm down. I stayed by Carlisle as Emmett and Rosalie flew in the room.
"What happened?" Rose asked, staring at her siblings in pure horror. Emmett avoided the two of them, his eyes venom coated with disbelief. He took Rose's hand and led her from the room.
"Edward, Alice...I am very disappointed in you. Not only have you committed an act against the Lord, by sinning and betraying your spouces, but you have committed an act against this family. Get the Hell out of my house. I will give you four hours to pack and leave." Carlisle whispered. I shook my head.
"Bella and I will leave. We can't stay here." I told him, ignoring the other two whines of protest. "I have something to ask you anyway. When I was changing her, I had to bite, and her blood...sung to me."
"It only sings to me, liar!" Edward shouted. We both ignored him.
"Edward must have felt love, not blood love or whatever they call it. I'm sorry you can't stay Jasper but I wish you would." Carlisle told me. I nodded and swept from the room, ignoring Alice calling my name. I went to Esme and told her we were leaving.
"Please, don't!" She cried out, venom spilling down her cheeks. I smiled, touching her cheek.
"You have so much love for us, Esme. Thank you for being my mother." I pulled her into a hug. "We're sorry to tear this hole in your chest and family, but it's painful to stay." I pulled away and looked into her venom-coated copper eyes.
"Then stay!" Alice cried from behind me, sinking her nails into my shirt.
"I'm not the one who tore the first stich from this family. I'm not the one who began the hole. I'm just the fluff falling out. You lied, betrayed.... Vermin!" I shouted at her again. She walked over to Esme, who backed away.
"You slept with your own brother. How could you? You tore our family apart-" I slipped into Carlisle and Esme's dark brown room before they could pull me in again.
"Are you ready to leave?" I asked her. She looked up at me.
"We can really leave?" I seemed to excite her but I felt the depression underneath.
"Yes. Stuff everything in a duffel bag, I don't care what you bring. Just pack all your clothes, some books, and meet me downstairs." I told her. She leaped into a hug, wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my next.
"Just you and me. No pain, nobody to tell us what to do, either!" She played happy very well, only feeling a teaspoon of it in the spiraling cloud of betrayal that shifted throughout her body. She jumped off and ran out the door, then peaked her head back in. "My duffel bag?" I rushed out of the room....
---Five Minute Of Pointless Running To Get Her Favorite Duffel Bag With Her Favorite Jeans And A Weeks Worth Of Clothes Already Inside It---
I handed it to her and she squealed, shoving the extra week inside. A small, black card fell out.
"Your credit card." She bent over and picked it up, handing it to me. I nodded in thanks.
"Let me go get my stuff. Meet me in the living room, okay?" I asked. She smiled brightly, needed a moment to think even though she had an enitre week to herself.
"Thanks again Jaz." I ran to my room, taking only a second to get there. I stuffed a six long sleeved shirts in there, six short sleeved with assorted designs and colors, my favorite black Deep Purple shirt in with it, six pairs of jeans and six pairs of black slacks. I undressed from my messy, wrinkled clothing, pulling on my favorite low rider American Eagle jeans complete with brown cowboy boots, and an Eagle Chambray western shirt in a dark blue color. I pulled a hat and my aviators off of the shelf in the closet I shared with her and stuffed a pair of tennis shoes and professional shoes. Never know when I might need to look professional. After adding boxers and socks, I walked over to the book case and pulled several of my favorite books from the shelf, and crossed to the bed to grab the civil war book I had been reading. I unplugged the iPod dock and speakers from the wall and stuffed them into my bag, along with my iPod. Hopefully Bella would bring her's too.
We met in the living room, her packing her favorite jeans, tees and a few formal dresses. We were prepared to go our own way, only paused by Esme's and suprisingly, Rose's sobs of please, don't go and you didn't tear this family apart.
Bella boarded the back of my bike and pulled the helmet Edward had bought her years ago, onto her head. I pulled my own helmet on and leaned forward, as if to kiss her. She looked up at me, her doe eyes glassy with venom, and smiled. I could faintly see the white headphone buds in her ear. She did bring it. I fished for mine and tucked my buds in my ear.
"I'm ready." She whispered. I nodded, and allowed my index finger to draw one line from her ear to her chin. She shivered, pulling my leather coat tighter, as if cold, as I got on in front of her. I kicked my silver bike to life. She leaned forward, and I pressed her breasts against my back, and leaned her head on my shoulder. Her hips slid up to meet mine and I felt so connected with her...so amazing.... One day, one day soon, our hips would meet without clothes on.... I shook my head and pushed the play button on my iPod. Country music sprang to life as I pushed forward and we sped from the garage, out bags around out shoulders and out iPod's playing loudly.
I would spend eternity like this if it was with Bella.
However, in all situations, there is an up and a down. This was my up.
It's funny how you think you've just made it out of the bad side of one situation and then you find out that life, as you know it, is over. If Bella and I knew then what we knew in the future, we would have stayed and endured a lesser Hell instead of what the future held.
There is no fate but what wemake.
Instead, we drove off into the sunset with nowhere to go and everything at our disposal.

RCA:And I did jack the quote from Terminator 2, yes I watched it as I typed and that quote seemed to fit perfectly! I might be able to type the next chapter tonight and post it ridiculousy late unless my mama wants me to go to bed early. I can't drive my sister and myself to school when I'm ridiculously tired, I'm sorry. Safety for me and my sister first and foremost! BTW! I'm changing the rating to M now, but if you're reading you prolly already know.
I know vampires don't cry but bear with me, okay? It adds to the effect, and everything I do has a meaning :) And wonderful little happy ending. It was originally supposed to end here but I combined this one and the second (it was going to be a trilogy) into one story. Hell, I might even push the third fic into this one. It would be a total of roughly 21-ish chapters...tell me which should I do?
Two fics, this and a not too long sequal with an epilogue at the end...
Or one super long fic with no sequal but an epilogue....
Your input matters to me :) Keep subscribing and keep reading! Happy Tuesday Evening :)
