What's that Savannah? Three chapters in two days? You must be super woman.

No! I am not super woman. I just don't have a life :D

Enjoy :)

Bella's POV

I knew it was too good to be true. There was no way that a creature like Edward would be happy with a person like me. We were polar opposites and in his case we don't attract.

I sat on my bed doing nothing by stare at the floor for forty five minutes before any behavior whatsoever kicked in. I got up, shuffled to the bathroom, and took a shower. The water coming out of the nozzle was so hot it turned my skin bright red.

I got out and looked at myself in the mirror. Pathetic, even I knew it. I didn't blame Edward for wanting to expand his horizons.

I crossed the hall into my bedroom and changed into my most comfortable sweats and my baggiest t-shirt. I figured comfort was much more important that looks at this point.

I fell asleep, tears still rolling down my face. I awoke a few hours later when I felt a cool arm encircle my waist. I turned over and saw Edward.

He noticed the tears on my cheek. "What's wrong, love?" he asked with what sounded like he was genuine concern.

I frowned. "I think you know the answer to that, Edward."

My stern tone had startled him. His eyes narrowed. "What do you know?"

"I know a lot of things. I happen to know that your favorite color is green. I know that you like to hunt mountain lions more than anything else. I also know that you and Alice are cheaters." I finished, trying to shove him away from me.

He didn't move an inch except for his mouth, which now hung open. It was hard to surprise Edward and, despite the circumstances, I was proud I could do it.

"I can explain," he stated after closing his mouth and regaining his calm demeanor. He might have fooled anyone else but I could see in his eyes that he was less than happy with the fact that I had found out.

"I'm all ears," I replied, subdued for the moment.

"It's not like I could fight it, Bella. I tried and tried but I couldn't resist!" he deflated, the words coming out in a rush.

"I thought you loved me," I said, a moment away from bursting into tears.

"I do! More than anything on this Earth. But I could not stop myself. It was impossible," he said, patting me on the cheek.

"I'm... confused."

He sighed. "You know how werewolves imprint on people?"

I nodded.

"A few weeks ago Alice and I were hunting together when suddenly I saw her in a new light. It was like my entire universe had shifted and suddenly she was the one that I knew I was meant to end up with, " he looked at me, "for eternity."

When I didn't say anything he started again.

"I knew I had to tell you at some point. I couldn't just go on and feel good about it. I was getting more and more guilty as the infidelity continued. I couldn't think of how to do it!" He shook his head. "I wanted to tell you but I couldn't figure out how to do it without hurting you. And now you're more hurt than you would be if I had told you right away."

"How could you keep something like that from me?! You kept that secret for weeks!" I screeched. Thank god for Charlie's uncanny ability of sleeping through anything and everything.

"I'm sorry, Bella!" He yelled a little quieter than I did, obviously caring what would happen to both of us if Charlie woke up and discovered him in my room. "What else do you want from me? I could not help it! I'm sorry, okay?"

"That's not good enough!" I got out of bed and pointed to the window. "Get out! Now! Tell everyone who knew about it never to bother me again!" I was sure I was turning red in the face.

"Everyone but you and Jasper knew," he said, slowly getting up from the bed.

That hurt. An entire family that I trusted and loved had betrayed me. "Tell them to stay away from me. You stay away too," I whispered.

He walked slowly to the window. "I love you, Bella Swan," he said before exiting my room.

I hardly made it to my bed before I collapsed in a dead sleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I awoke in the late morning the following day. I sat up while my eyes adjusted to the light. I stretched and happened to notice someone standing by the window with their back to me.

"Edward! I told you to leave!" I yelled, leaping out of bed. Before he could turn around I ran to the window and pushed on his back as hard as I could. He spun around, surprised by my outburst.

"Jasper!" I gasped. He wasn't Edward at all.

"Good morning to you too," he grinned. His smile was contagious and I couldn't help but smile back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. I thought he'd be gone forever by now.

"I thought I'd see how you were doing. I know that Edward came last night and I thought that maybe you'd need a little cheering up," he replied.

"That's thoughtful of you but I really don't want to talk about it right now," I said softly, my eyes falling to the floor.

"Well," he started, stroking his chin, "I do have a place we could go. Only if you trust me enough to be alone with me that is," he said, lifting my face with one finger so our eyes met.

"I promise that I won't hurt you," he added.

"Okay," I said, giving in easily. How couldn't you trust a face like that?

There was a little explanation of why Edward cheated on Bella. HE COULDN'T HELP IT! Don't hate him. :D

Review, it makes cookies taste better.
