PLEASE REVIEW!

I lay in bed that night just thinking, Jasper was out hunting so it gave me some free time. I was trying to decide if it was time to leave. Was I ready to become what I have always wanted? Yes I was ready, but I wasn't sure if I could leave Forks, my father had just passed and all my friends were here. It is weird thinking of being completely isolated with just Jasper up in Alaska. Then again it was not a bad think just being the two of us; it would definitely be a lot less dramatic that's for sure.

"Can't sleep?" Jasper whispered sitting on the bed next to me.

I looked up and saw him staring at me with concern. "How did you know I was awake? I wasn't even moving?" I asked surprised.

"You breathe differently when you're asleep, smoother compared to your short staccato breaths right now."

"I think I'm ready to go," I said confidently.

"Go where?" he asked.

"To Alaska and start our new life. I'm ready to leave Forks and be with you for eternity," I said sitting completely up right so I could look directly at him.

"Are you sure I don't want you to feel rushed into anything. If you need more time I can wait," he said caringly.

"I don't want any more time I'm ready for this. I have been ready for a long time now but it just took some thinking to be sure of it."

He was smiling softly but I could feel his joy radiating, he had been waiting for this since the beginning and it was finally time. I was happy I could give this to him and happy that I was able to say it and know it was the truth.

Edward's POV

I heard it clear as rain, Bella was ready to leave. She would be leaving with Jasper any time now. The love of my life would be gone in a matter of hours. I needed to take action I could not let her leave and risk her never coming back. I had to do something.

"Did you hear Bella talking?" I heard Emmet ask form the door way.

I looked at him and he recognized that was a stupid question. I could hear the apology in his mind. "I'm here for you man, I know it's going to be hard but we can get through it," Emmet said. This was one of the rare moments that Emmet Cullen was being 100% serious and thoughtful there was no joke in him mind and he was prepared to help me.

"Thank you Emmet but I'm not going to let her leave," I said in a whisper. I hoped Jasper was too wrapped in his conversation with Bella to hear me but even if he did I was still going to go through with my plan.

"You can't do that man it is her choice," he said now worrying about all the crazy things I could do to stop her from leaving.

"She chose wrong Emmet, I know she did and I just have to make her see that," I said standing.

"Don't be stupid out there," Rosalie said coming from behind Emmet.

"Don't tell me you are worried too?" I asked sarcastically. I could hear every single word she was thinking on the subject and her motives for this where clear.

"You want me to take her back? All the hatred you put on the two of us when we were together and now you want to help me?" I asked searching her mind. Emmet looked at her surprised.

"Jasper ruined this family, he never should have let Alice leave and he certainly should not have taken Bella from you. And then to come back here after everything, well he cost me a sister and I will not let him ruin my brother," she said confidently.

"Rose he is family," Emmet said looking at me apologetically.

"No, not any more. Family doesn't hurt family," she said looking at him with daggers.

"He is still family. He's my brother Rose," Emmet said hurt.

"And what am I?" I asked him trying to understand. Emmet was such a lover that he could never think of hurting someone so close to him. But he didn't understand he still had Rosalie in his arms and my arms were left empty.

Emmet was rubbing Rosalie's arm. I could hear the apologies going through his head. He wanted to be with us but Jasper was truly a brother to him. I didn't blame Emmet it was in his character to protect family which Jasper was.

"You are with us or against us," Rose said looking up at him, she was angry but had softness in her eyes see only had when looking at Emmet.

"Rose don't say that, Emmet I understand you are my brother and we are family. You care about Bella and Jasper which I understand," I said trying to accept he wouldn't stand with me.

"I'm sorry Rose… Edward you just need to let her make her own choices."

Emmet walked out but Rosalie stayed. I read her thoughts loud and clear. She didn't like having Emmet be conflicted and she still had distain for Bella, but Jasper was dead to her now and she had no issues with taking Bella from him.

"Thank you for your support Rosalie I think I will need it," I said standing to prepare myself.

"Carlisle will never approve," she said as I passed her.

"That's what I'm afraid of," I said headed out the door.

JASPERS POV

Bella was fast asleep and after hearing everything Edward had said to Rosalie I was scared. Bella had true feelings for Edward and I was not sure of what type of plan he had to keep her from leaving with me.

I didn't truly understand how much Rose had resented me but now there was no doubt in my mind. Ever since Alice left she had blamed me and turned against me. At least Emmet still considered me a brother.

"Emmet thank you for everything," I said gently closing the door so Bella wouldn't wake.

"Any time man, family is family no matter what the drama is. I can't help you but I won't hurt you either." Emmet was torn between all of this. He almost never disagreed with Rose and never about anything this extreme.

"I know it is hard for you and I never wanted any of this you have to understand," I pleaded.

"You know I love Bella but family is family can't you just let her go for everyone's sake?" he asked and I felt his pain in the question because he did truly love Bella.

"Could you let go of Rosalie if it was best for the Cullen family?" I asked trying to relate it to him.

"I wouldn't let her go for anyone or anything," he said angry that I had even suggested it.

"Same goes for me," I said confidently.

"That's why I understand you and your situation take your girl and get out. If it is really what I have with Rose all you will ever need is her," Emmet said putting a supportive hand on my shoulder.

I heard Rose coming up the stairs I looked over to see her walk over to Emmet. "I am sorry," I said looking at her.

"You should be," she said acidy. She pulled Emmet with her into his room and I was left alone with all this sizzling inside me. I knew I had to get Bella out of here as soon as she woke up, but I didn't want to alarm her.
