Chapter 2

(BELLA POV)

As i leaned against jasper, i could feel the hurt slowly start to fade. I looked up at him out of the corner of my eye and sighed. THis must be so incredibaly hard on him too. I could just imagine the pain he must be in. I wondered to myself why they had done what they did. I mean i always knew i wasnt good enough for Edward and that one day he would move on. But why did it have to be my best friend, and jaspers wife?

"Thanks" I said my voice croaked out. My throat screamed in protest at trying to talk. I guess i shouldnt have screamed as much as i did. But i think the screaming helped rid myself of the utter pain that had engulfed my soul.

"Your very welcome darlin" I blushed at bieng called darlin. I looked up at his pale face and perfect golden eyes and almost matching beautiful golden curls that adorned his face just so..are you crazy? You havnt even officailly broke up with Edward and your already thinking about Jasper like that?

(Jasper POV)

After me and Bella had left the meadow, which i had carried her out of because i guess for some strange reasons crying makes humans tired. When we got back home i entered the house. Everyone in the house had heard about what happend today and they all had mixed emotions. Mostly everyone was seething with rage. They felt betrayed that Edward would do that to Bella and that their own daughter and loving sister would do that to me. I also felt betrayed but those long hours screaming and crying with bella had helped him alot. He looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms and made a promise to her.

"I will never let anyone hurt you Isabella Swan."

"thanks." she said weakly, he was surprised that she had been awake.

"I meant it Bella." He looked down at her. How had he not noticed her beauty before? Her bright chocolate brown eyes shined against her unusually pale skin and her dark brown locks caressed her face making her look like the type of girl that only came in fairytale books. He looked around the room. Esme looked at him with a sad smile. She was happy that he had someone to share his feeling with and sad about what had happend that day.

He was confused about his feeling about Bella. He had always watched Bella from afar because he wasnt allowed to get to close to her or even talk to her. She had always surprised him, in pleasant ways. She was so selfless and caring. It was a wonder she could love a man like Edward.

He slowly carried her up the stairs and into the hallway, she needed sleep. Her feelings confused him. She was still feeling somewhat sad, but she was also relieved, and in the mix of all of those emotions he could feel the love radiating off of her. He wondered if she could still love Edward after everything that had happend that day..or could she, maybe, have feeling for him as he did for her? He pushed the hopes out of his mind, if he wasnt good enough for Alice, then surely he wouldnt be good enough for Bella. Right?

(ROSALIE POV)

"My children, please come take a seat in the living room, " said Carlisle quickly right after Bella had come stumbling down the stairs tears begining to flow down her pale skin. I wondered what all this could be about. I thought of Bella as part of the family now. I wasnt sure if she thought of us the same, especially since i had always been such a brat to her. But i really did love her like a sister, its just that me, rosalie cullen, was jeluse of Bella. Bella was gorgous, in her own human way. She had Edward, who loved her unconditionally, she had a best friend, she had a human life, she could even have a baby if she wanted to. I want a baby so bad.

She went to the couch and sat down on Emmets lap. He wrapped his strong arms around her waist as she leaned against his muscular chest.

"Everyone, i would just like you to know that there is a grave and sad situation happening in our family. Its about Bella and Edward, and Alice and Jasper. Edward, and Alice have been having an affair." Carlisle looked down at the floor at a loss for what to say next. I could see the sadness that tainted every feature of him. I stood angerly. How could Edward do that to out Bella! He was such a stupid ass head! I had always know he was, but now i could see how selfish he really was. To put Bella through that. She must be so depressed. And Jasper, his own brother. That stupid little brat, Alice. I am going to kill them!!

"What are we going to do about this Carlisle, we cant just let them get away with that. Imagine how Bella and Jasper are feeling." At the exact moment i finished that we heard screams. It was Bella. She was only about 3 or 4 miles away so we could still hear everything. We heard her sobs and screams. We could hear Jasper as well, who was also sobbing. If i could cry i would be sobbing now. I dry sobbed once.

"They still have a right to live in this house if they would like. But if they live here they must be prohibited to talking to their once significant others. I know how you all must feel, i also feel angry, sad and mostly betrayed by my son and daughter. Jasper and Bella are returning soon, lets try to make them feel as happy as possible." With that he quickly went into the kitchen along with Esme, and started to make pancakes and eggs, for Bella. I hate you Edward, and Alice Cullen. whereever you may be. I would come back to soon if i where you.

(BELLA POV)

I looked up at jasper from where i was, he was craddling me in his arms, i liked it, i liked the way i could feel his cold arms around me, i felt safe. Even safter than with Ed-, i could feel the searing pain that filled me when i thought even of his name. Jasper put me down softly on his pillow and wrapped the blankets around me knowing i needed sleep. he began to walk out of the room. Thats when the panic slipped in. I Could feel the panic of being left alone, again. i Couldnt bear it.

"Jasper!...please, please, dont leave me alone. please." I whispered pathetically.

He appeared in front of me and slowly took one of my hand rubbing smooth circles into the palm.

" Im here Bella, im here, now sleep darlin. I wont leave you. Not in a million years."

I felt reasured, and felt a wave of calm and serenity wash over me, i was asleep before my head hit the pillow. I think...I think i love Jasper Hale.
