Jasper

I pulled the door of Bella's apartment closed behind me and leaned my forehead against it. God, what the fuck did I just do?

This was not supposed to happen. I was supposed to be stronger than this. I was not supposed to let my feelings add even more drama to the shitstorm that was going to blow in at any time. I couldn't help myself though. Walking in and seeing my fantasy for the last six months in real life was more than I could handle, especially when it was me she was thinking about at the time.

My mama always used to tell me that two wrongs didn't make a right. But I didn't think about that as I had Bella pressed against that wall. I didn't think about how she would feel after. All I could think was that Edward was a complete dick for what he was doing.

Was I any better though. I mean I helped Bella cheat. Granted, she didn't know the whole story, but did that make it right. No, God she was feeling completely guilty. I could see it written all over her face when I left and it kind of pissed me off. She was the only one in this whole fucked up circle that shouldn't have an ounce of guilt, no matter what we'd done.

What I was having a hard time understanding was why she was even in the shower to begin with. Edward had told me he'd talked to her and she was ready to go.

Fuck. Why did I even go inside? Again because Edward told me too. He gave me the fucking key, said Bella was expecting me, and...

Mother fucker.

Jerking my phone out of my pocket I quickly went his earlier text and reread it:

Not meeting at the club. Something came up. I'm sure you can keep Bella entertained. ;)

That made a whole lot more sense now. At first it just pissed me off because I knew the something that had come up. The second part now was glaringly obvious. He'd set me up, knowing how I felt. Well I had news for him his little plan was about to backfire.

Finding his name in my contact list I hit send and put it to my ear. As soon as he answered I asked.

"Are you home?"

"Yeah."

"I'm on my way."

I hung up then not wanting to go into anything standing right outside Bella's door because I had a feeling things were going to get loud.

I went out to my truck and drove over to Edward's place, feeling the anger build with each passing minute.

Getting to his complex I quickly walked inside and pounded on his front door.

He opened seconds later and as I pushed pass him I sneered, "You son of a bitch."

He had the nerve to smile. "I take it tonight went well for you."

"You wanted this to happen." It wasn't a question. I already knew the answer.

"I hoped." He said with a shrug.

"Why? Why would you do this? Do you know how guilty she's feeling right now?" I said and then with his smug smile the last piece fell perfectly in place. "That's what you want isn't it. You want her to feel so guilty she'll tell you and then you have a reason to break up with her. That way you can walk away the good guy and not the bastard you truly are."

"Whatever Jasper."

"No Edward, not whatever. I kept your secret, thinking it would give you time to get your head where you needed it to be to make a decision. Fuck I came here, like the good friend I was, to help you do that because you sounded so broken up when you called me seven months ago. It was all a lie though. You wanted me here because you knew how much Bella and I would get along. You knew she was perfect for me and me her. Don't even try to deny it."

Fortunately for him he didn't. "Of course I knew all of that. After all, I needed someone that she wouldn't mind hanging out with when I canceled at the last minute."

"What the fuck happened to you? You are not the same guy I met in college. What, all those chemicals and x-ray machines at the hospital fry your brain?"

"I grew up."

"You could have fooled me."

"Fuck you Jasper. You, as you've said, aren't at all innocent in this. You went along with things. You could have told her everything as soon as you realized how you felt about her, but you didn't. You still kept her in the dark. You know you should thank me."

"Why would I ever do that?"

"Because when Bella finds out you knew I was seeing someone else she's going to hate you. I, at least, gave you the chance to have one night with her."

I clenched my fists to keep from hitting him. Not because I didn't want too; oh no I just knew that when I did I'd get nothing else from him.

"Just tell me one thing. Why? Why couldn't you have just told her the truth from the beginning?"

"You already know the answer to that."

"Yeah I do. Mommy and daddy wouldn't have been happy to learn that they raised a complete fucking idiot."

"How do you figure I'm an idiot?"

"Because you had Bella, a woman who is kind and beautiful. And instead of keeping her you chose to stick your dick in an annoying as fuck pre-pubesent boy."

"Don't talk about her like that."

I chuckled humorlessly. "Would you rather I call her a whore? Because that's what she is. Or actually she's a desperate pathetic whore because she knew you were with someone and still let this go on."

"I said don't talk about her like that."

"Or what? You going to hit me? Go ahead, but you better make it good because if I don't go down I will fuck you up. Better yet why don't I just call the hospital. I'm pretty sure it's not Grey's Anatomy and they'll frown upon two interns fucking in the on call room. Or I could just call daddy and let him in on what you've been hiding."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Try me."

"So what you want me to pick Bella? Won't that hurt your poor feelings? After all you do love her."

"Oh you won't be picking Bella. You will be telling her everything though."

"I don't have too. She'll come to me when the guilt gets to be too much."

"She might if you had an infinite time to wait, but you get until tomorrow night. If she doesn't know everything by then I will tell her."

"And who do you think she's going to believe Jasper? The guy that just got into her pants or the one that's been there for two years?"

"Wrong thing to say fucker." I said as my fist flew at his face. I watched in complete satisfaction as he head snapped to the side and he dropped like the piece of shit he was. Leaning over him I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him up before slamming him into the wall behind him. "Tomorrow. Do I make myself clear?" When he didn't answer me right away I slammed him against the wall again. "Do I?"

"Fine, yes."

"And then you stay away from her. You don't call, you don't go over there, and when that bitch you're with now leaves your sorry ass don't go trying to crawl back. Do you understand me?"

"Yes."

"Good and if it's not already apparent our friendship is over." With that I landed another fist into the fucker's face and left him slumped against the wall.

I made my way to the door, jerked it open, and stepped into the hall, slamming the door behind me. While I really wanted to go back to Bella's place I knew I couldn't. She needed time to think about the things I'd said. I knew that as soon as Edward confessed I would be one of three at the top of her shit list. However, I was all ready to do the one thing Edward wasn't. And that was chose her. I could only hope that she would let me.

Edward

"Fuck," I groaned as I pushed myself to my feet.

Once I was standing I had to take a moment to clear my head. Fuck he hit hard and I could already tell from just the tenderness it was going to bruise. How in the hell was I going to explain that at work? Fuck.

Going into the kitchen I grabbed the dishtowel and wrapped some ice up in it. As I put it to my cheek I heard my front door open.

"Edward, baby you here?"

"Kitchen," I said grimacing with the pull from my face.

"Was that Jas...what the hell happened?" She asked coming around the corner and straight to me.

"Jasper figured out it was a set up. Granted, he did get some first."

"So it worked?"

"Yeah. Bella has officially cheated on me."

"So what happens now. Did he say when she was going to come tell you?"

"No," I said huffing out a laugh. "He's not going to give her time."
"What?"
"Yeah, said he would give me until tomorrow night to tell her everything or he'd tell her himself."
"Do you think he will?"
I shrugged my shoulder. "I don't know. I might call his bluff though and then make it out that he's just trying to be an asshole. She's only known him six months so if I come up with a good enough reason then she'll believe me."

"You could just tell her that Jasper told you what happened between the two of them. Spin it that way, so she gets mad at him."

I couldn't stop the grin from growing as I reached to pull her around the counter. Taking her in my arms I said, "Alice, baby, you are a genius."

"I know. You should let me show you how big a genius I am with my mouth."

I groaned and picked her up, taking her down the hall to my bedroom.

Was I an asshole for what I was doing to Bella? Probably, but she'd move on. If that dickhead was lucky maybe it would even be with him. If she cared about him like I suspected she'd forgive him. So actually I was doing them both a favor.

I just couldn't let my parents find out about my cheating. They didn't condone that shit at all and dad really wouldn't with it being another intern at the hospital. This way the blame would fall squarely on Bella's shoulders and I would get away with scott free. Only thing is I would have to wait a little longer to introduce mom and dad to Alice. She'd understand though because they would then love her. After all, she would be the one that would heal my broken heart.

The next morning I crawled out from under Alice and took a quick shower, wincing slightly when I caught the large bruise on the side of my face. Fuck I was going to have to think of something to explain that to my boss later. If Bella asked I'd just tell her it was Jasper.

Not worrying anymore about it right now I dressed and then gave Alice a quick kiss before I headed out and over to Bella's house. When I arrived I pounded on her door, making sure to look completely pissed off when she answered.

"Edward." She said quietly, keeping her head down. I knew that was the guilt crawling through her. She was usually very happy to see me.

Not bothering with putting it off any longer I asked, "When did you plan on telling me you'd fucked my best friend?"

Her head shot up and her eyes grew wide. This was going to be so easy.
