Yay! Another chapter in a DAY! Review? Yes I think you should :)

Jasper POV

It felt like my duty to tell her what I'd seen. It wasn't that I was going to tell her out of revenge against Edward, I just felt she ought to know what kind of man she was with. He said that he would always be faithful to her, always love her.

I knocked on her truck window and then quickly hopped in. She was only going a measly thirty miles an hour. She wasn't surprised, all the Cullens had lept into her truck at one time or another. But, when she looked over and saw it was me her heart rate accelerated a bit, her breathing kicked up a notch. The smell was almost unbearable. I understand why Edward is always raving about how wonderful she smells, he's right.

"I won't hurt you, Bella," I said, dropping my head. I was determined never to hurt her. I sighed. She had just started trusting me and then I go and eat a human.

"Why are you here?" she asked, her voice shaking. Did she really think that I would bite her?

I paused. How was I supposed to tell her that the love of her life was with another woman. Especially when the other woman was her best friend.

She sensed there was something wrong.

"What is it, Jasper?" She had pulled over to the side of the road and turned to face me.

"It's about Edward," I started. She tensed up. "After you left I went around to all the rooms to, you know, get a last look at everyone."

She nodded, I paused again.

"And," she urged.

I took a deep breath, "I saw Edward and Alice together."

She laughed. "Of course they're together! They're almost inseparable!"

I frowned. She had misunderstood. "That's not what I meant, Bella. They were kissing and touching. Frankly, I'm glad I left before..." I shuddered. It really was a low blow for both Edward and Alice to do that to poor Bella.

Her face went blank.

"Oh," she breathed. She slumped over so her head rested on the steering wheel. The atmosphere changed at once, going from relief to a sadness so deep you could get lost in it. She was sobbing.

To my surprise I pulled her into my chest. I'd never gotten this close to a human that I wasn't going to enjoy for dinner. She buried her face into my shoulder and let loose a torrent of tears. Each exhale adding extra fragrance to the already saturated air. I struggled to keep my composure.

"Shhh," I crooned. "It's okay."

"You can eat me if you want," she cried. "I don't want to be alive anymore."

"Don't ever say that," I scolded her. She shouldn't have even thought of telling me that. Not only was it a very intense course of action but, I needed no more temptation to devour her whole at this point. Her smell was so delicious.

I had to keep telling myself that I would stay calm. That no harm would come to her.

She said nothing after that, her breathing and the occasional sob the only noise. It gave me a chance to think of why Alice would do this to me. She's the one who said that I had kept her waiting when we met that fateful day, that we belonged together. It blew my mind that the thought of being with Edward would have passed through her mind.

I wondered how long it had been going on. She had been acting strange lately. Come to think of it, I did see the occasional sidelong glance between her and Edward. I just thought that she was talking to him. Apparently it had been a thought of a different caliber than we all we used to. Sure, we knew they had a little system down. She would ask a question in her mind that was directed to Edward, he would answer with a slight nod or shake of the head. We let them think that they were being terribly sneaky.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that I knew what they were doing. Maybe it would have stopped the progression of the relationship. Then again, maybe it wouldn't. Maybe it would have only postponed the inevitable.

At least Bella and I would have had a few more moments of happiness.

After an immeasurable amount of time had passed she fell asleep in my arms. I shifted her to the passenger seat and her head lolled onto my shoulder. I started the truck and drove her home.

"Bella," I whispered in her ear when we had pulled up to her house.

"Yes?" she groaned.

"We're at your house. It's time for you to go inside."

She frowned, just remembering why her eyes were hurting her I assume. She looked up at me, eyes wide. "Why?" she whimpered. I knew she was talking about Edward.

"Who knows," I answered, looking ahead. "Perhaps he did not think of the consequences, losing a lovely girl. You deserve better than him anyway, Bella. Try to get some sleep. It'll be good for you."

She nodded. "Good night, Jasper," she whispered before exiting the car. I watched her walk to the door, look back to the car, then go inside.

Review! It makes the world go round :)
